SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND BASIS FOR PRESENTATION
 
Organization and Business
 
Green Earth Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, GET Well! Inc., formally GET Manufacturing, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”), were each formed on August 7, 2007 under the laws of the state of Delaware.  The Company markets, sells and distributes environmentally safe lubricants, cleaning products and oil well service products.  The Company’s product line crosses multiple channels including the oil and gas well services, automotive aftermarket, marine and outdoor power equipment and cleaning markets. The Company sells to oil field service providers, home centers, mass retail outlets, automotive stores, equipment manufacturers and over the Internet.

Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such principles and the financial results for the periods presented may not be indicative of the full year’s results. The Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K filed in October 2015 (the “2015 Annual Report”).

Significant Accounting Policies
 
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2015 Annual Report.

Liquidity and Going Concern
 
Due to the Company’s limited capital, recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and the Company’s limited ability to pay outstanding liabilities, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

Since inception, the Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations.  As of September 30, 2015, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $88,407, with total stockholders’ deficit of $15,098.  The Company had a working capital deficit of $19,949 at September 30, 2015 and is currently in default of the 3.25% Secured Note,  Promissory Note and the 6% Secured Notes issued to related parties disclosed in notes 5 and 6. These notes matured on September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively, and have not been extended and are payable upon demand. The Promissory note matures on February 2016 but since the February 2015 payment was not made it is in default.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
The Company has undertaken, and will continue to implement, various measures to address its financial condition, including:

●  
Continue discussions with existing and potential new investors regarding an investment in the Company.
●  
Seek debt, equity and other forms of financing, including funding through strategic partnerships.
●  
Attempt to increase revenues in order to reduce or eliminate the Company’s operating losses and enable it to meet its financial obligations.
●  
Reduce expenses to conserve cash.
●  
Defer certain marketing activities.
●  
Investigate and pursue transactions with third parties, including strategic transactions and relationships.

The Company plans to increase revenues in order to reduce, or eliminate, its operating losses.  Additionally, the Company will attempt to raise capital from external sources in order to enable it to continue to meet its financial obligations until it achieves profitability or generates positive cash flow.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure the additional funding the Company needs.  If the Company’s efforts to do so are unsuccessful, the Company will be required to further reduce or eliminate the Company’s operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

2.
DEFERRED COST, RELATED PARTY
 
In December 2012, the Company received an advance of $6,000 from E&B Green Solutions L.P., a Company owned by Francesco Galesi (“Galesi”), a related party, for the purchase of well service products from Inventek Collodial Cleaners, LLC (“Inventek”), also a related party.  The Company advanced the $6,000 received from E&B Green Solutions L.P. and additional funds totaling $6,227 to Inventek for the production of the well service products in anticipation of future sales to E&B Green Solutions L.P. The Company did not report the receipt of the funds from E&B Green Solutions L.P. as revenue as of September 30, 2015 because the transaction did not meet the Company’s revenue recognition criteria in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  As of September 30, 2015, $6,227 of Deferred Cost and $6,000 of Deferred Revenue was included on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as a result of this transaction.   The anticipated proceeds from the sales of oil field services products are expected to be greater than the current value of the Deferred Cost.

3.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Oil Field Services
 
In fiscal 2014, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Inventek Colloidal Cleaners, LLC (“Inventek”) and Dr. Paul N. Andrecola (“Dr. Andrecola”) in support of the Company’s oil and gas well services product line. In consideration for the exclusive licenses and Inventek’s technology the Company issued 105,200,000 shares of its common stock to Inventek/ Dr. Andrecola. The initial term of the exclusive license expires May 20, 2039 (25 years) and also contains five automatic ten year renewal periods. These transactions were accounted for as a purchase business transaction. In July 2014 the Company was granted a patent by the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office for biodegradable non-reactive oil well stimulation and method of use based on nano-scale colloidal chemistry. In connection with the share issuances the Company recorded a purchase price allocation of $7,572, in the aggregate, as intangible assets.  The Company is utilizing an expected life for the intangible assets of seven years.

Natural Gas Well Services
 
In August 2014, the Company enter into a Strategic Relationship Agreement with Greentek Fluid Innovations LLC (“GFI”).  In consideration for this agreement and for intellectual property purchased in support of the Company’s natural gas well services product line the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with an aggregate fair market value of $700 to GFI. The agreement has an initial term through June 30, 2019 after which it continues annually until either party gives the other 60-days prior written notice of its intent to terminate the agreement. This transaction is accounted for as a purchase business transaction. The Company is utilizing an expected life for the intangible assets of seven years. The Company completed a valuation of the license, distribution rights and intellectual property related to the GFI Management Strategic Relationship Agreement. The company utilized financial projections based on current opportunities and relationships with existing customers and distributors. Based on the analysis of future discounted cash flows it was determined that the carrying amount of the intangible assets is recoverable at September 30, 2015.

The final purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of valuations for the license, distribution rights and intellectual property which may ultimately impact the overall level of intangible assets associated with the acquisition. The Company will consider any additional information which existed as of the acquisition date but was unknown to the Company at that time, that may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date, and may result in a change in the purchase price allocation. While management believes that its preliminary estimates and assumptions underlying the value of intangible assets are reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different valuations assigned which may change the amount of the purchase price allocations.

Cleaning Products
 
In fiscal 2008, the Company entered into royalty-free license and exclusivity rights agreements with Inventek pursuant to which the Company was granted the exclusive right to sell, market and distribute any Inventek cleaning products in the United States and Canada and the non-exclusive right world-wide. In consideration for the exclusivity rights the Company issued 13,750,000 shares of its Common Stock to Inventek with an aggregate fair market value of $2,550.

Impairment

When indicators of impairment exist the Company assesses the recoverability of its long lived assets.  During Fiscal year 2015, the Company recorded impairment losses of $1,909 and $560 associated with its oil field services and cleaning products intellectual property.
 
The Company completed a discounted cash flow analysis to determine if the carrying value on the books was reasonable for the oil field services.  It utilized financial projections based on current opportunities and relationships with existing customers and distributors.  Since the company is a new entrant into the oil services industry and does not have historical financial results in this industry, it was determined that the carrying amount of the intangible assets from future discounted cash flows as it relates to the Inventek IP Agreement and technology/patents is impaired and warrants the write-down in accordance with applicable accounting rules.
 
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 the Company continued to sell cleaning products however certain retailers and customers discontinued our product line of cleaning products. Based on our forecasts we deemed that future cash flows from the cleaning products does not support the carrying value of the intangible asset.  As such it was determined the carrying amount of the intangible asset was to be written-off in accordance with applicable accounting rules.

Promissory Note
 
In October 2013 the Company entered into an agreement with its primary supplier of lubricants, Olympic Oil, owned by Delta Petroleum Company (“Delta”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company executed and delivered a $1,211 promissory note to Delta, reflecting amounts due and owing by the Company to Delta.  At September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015 the balance of the promissory note is $1,172.  In February 2014 the Company entered into a two year Intercreditor, Forbearance, Security and Account Control Agreements with Delta (the “Intercreditor Agreement”). The Intercreditor Agreement provides that Delta will continue to manufacturing and deliver the Company’s lubricant products to its customers. The receivables generated from these sales will be used as collateral and customer payments will be sent directly to a blocked bank account controlled by Delta. The profits generated from these sales will be applied to the promissory note. If by February 26, 2015 the balance of the promissory note is greater than $606 then the Company will have to pay Delta the difference between the outstanding balances of the note less $606. The full repayment of the promissory note is due in February 2016. The Company did not make the required installment of $566 in February 2015. The promissory note has not been extended and currently is in default and payable upon demand.  The Company believes it has claims and offsets against the balance of this note which may reduce the outstanding balance.

3.25% Secured note
 
At September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the balance of the 3.25% secured note payable is $60.  As of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, accrued interest was $241, respectively.  The note matured on September 30, 2013.  It has not been extended and currently is in default and payable upon demand.  Since the note is in default, the outstanding principal amount per the agreement bears default interest at a rate three percent (3.0%) greater than the stated rate per annum.  Until the default is cured the note will accrue interest at a rate of 6.25%.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Secured Convertible Debentures Conversion Option

The Debentures (as defined in note 8) are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at a conversion price of $0.02 to $0.12 per share (the “Conversion Price”).  The Conversion feature provides for weighted average anti-dilution protection in the event that any shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, are issued at less than the Conversion Price.  The conversion feature was bifurcated from the Debenture because of price protection features and is accounted for as a derivative liability.

Warrant Liability

In connection with the issuance of Debentures, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 32,544,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”).  The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.11-$0.21 per share (the “Exercise Price”).  Warrants covering up to 18,382,000 shares of Common Stock are exercisable at any time on or before December 31, 2016 and Warrants covering up to 8,552,000, 1,010,000, 875,000, 2,413,000 and 1,312,000 shares of Common Stock are exercisable at any time on or before March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, September 30, 2018, March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The Warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities because the agreement provides for weighted average anti-dilution protection in the event that any shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock, are issued at less than the Exercise Price

Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”.)  These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview of our Business

We create, develop, market, sell and distribute an array of G-branded, environmentally-friendly, bio-based well service, automotive, marine and residential enhancement, performance and cleaning products. Our products, including our G-CLEAN® Well Wake-UP!™, G-OIL® and G-CLEAN® brands, are used primarily in the oil and gas well service industry, automotive aftermarket and the outdoor power equipment.

Our technology platform for manufacturing innovative proprietary and patented high performing “green” products is the end result of company created or licensed intellectual property. These technologies replace traditional petroleum/hydrocarbon and chemical/solvents derived bases typically associated with conventional non-green products without compromising performance or value while delivering a more environmentally safer choice. We believe our products deliver comparable or superior performance at competitive prices, thus giving our customers and industries alike the ability to ‘do their part’ in protecting the environment without paying more.

In fiscal 2015 we shifted our strategy to focus on a full range of products specifically engineered to help overcome the oil and gas industry’s challenges of working in the world’s oil fields. As part of this strategy, we will focus on acquiring and/or developing new and patent-pending technologies and then leveraging our bio-based solutions into the growing markets for oil field services. We believe the new strategy will result in higher revenues and profit margins.  Increased energy demands have expanded the obstacles faced by this industry as they try to preserve and do ‘no harm’ to the delicate eco-system when drilling wells.  Both patented and patent-pending products have been tested by Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A (PDVSA), the Venezuelan national oil company, and E&B Green Solutions, L.P., a well services company based in Bakersfield, California, owned by Francesco Galesi, one of our largest stockholders.  Our oil field products are a natural fit as they will clean, optimize and restore safety to this industry and our environment.  We are actively pursuing opportunities and relationships domestically and worldwide with oil field services providers, oil and gas exploration and production companies and distributors.

Manufactured domestically under supply and requirement contracts, our proprietary environmentally preferred base oils are comprised of fatty acids procured from either plant and vegetable oils or animal fats and are on the USDA BioPreferred® list.  We also have a BODA™ technology that accelerates the biodegradability of petroleum based lubricants which even further broadens the array of environment goals that our company is able to help end users procure.    

Since inception in 2007, our goal has been to provide a superior green product at prices comparable to traditional products within the same category designation and to validate the proposition that by eliminating price and performance discrepancies, consumers and industries will usually go green.  In oil and gas fields our products allow drillers, well operators, service providers and other potential customers to meet their production, maintenance and spill remediation challenges with green solutions that enhance production, eliminate unnecessary costs and keep their people and the environment safer.  We trademarked the phrase “SAVE THE EARTH – SACRIFICE NOTHING®”, meaning that consumers and customers alike should not have to give up value or performance when choosing to go “green”.

As of May 2015, we eliminated personnel to preserve capital and are relying on the Board of Directors and contacts to help run the company on a day to day basis.

Results of Operations
 
(All dollar amounts referred to herein are in thousands, except as otherwise indicated.)

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Our activities for the three months September 30, 2015 and 2014 essentially included product development, manufacturing, marketing and sales of our bio-degradable performance and cleaning products, development of mass market product distribution networks for the intended distribution of our products, and development of an infrastructure to support the planned business and increasing of revenues.
 
Our results of operations are as follows:

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $0.  Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $394, primarily attributed to sales of G-OIL® outdoor power equipment 4-cycle engine oils.  There were no sales for the three months ended September 30, 2015, due to the loss of the Company’s distribution channels.  The Company is reevaluating its strategy of getting its products to customers.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, approximately 69% of our sales were from TTI (The Home Depot).

Net sales are comprised as follows:

Cleaning products

Total
  $ -     $ 394  
 
Cost of Sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) primarily consists of the cost of obtaining bio solvents, plant oils, additives, packaging components and fees paid to our affiliates for the costs of bottling and blending our products.  Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $0, and $341, respectively.  The decrease in cost of sales from 2015 to 2014 is primarily due to no sales in 2015.

We will continue to evaluate other opportunities to improve gross margins on our existing product line. We intend to further increase profitability of our product base through various measures which may include changing product formulations, reducing components cost by increasing volume and reducing expenses by improving operations.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, product development and testing fees, advertising and marketing expenses, public relations, insurance and fees for professional services.  Selling, general and administrative expenses include the following:

Occupancy, communications and all other, net
    39       115  
Total selling, general and administrative expenses
  $ 140     $ 639  

The decrease in selling, general and administrative is primarily due to our overall efforts to reduce expenses.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $5 and $61, respectively. 

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $215 and $329 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Depreciation charges totaled $0 and $3 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and amortization expense for intangible assets totaled $215 and $326 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Depreciation and amortization expense is excluded from cost of sales.

Change in revaluation of derivatives

The change in fair value of our derivative liabilities resulted in a favorable adjustment of $3,033 and $1,094 for three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The value of the derivative liabilities was determined using the Black-Scholes method.  See note 7 to our financial statements for inputs used to calculate the fair value of our derivatives liabilities.

Interest expense, net

Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $846 and $1,213, respectively.  Interest expense consists of $592 in connection with the amortization of the debt discount on our outstanding secured convertible debentures, $173 in connection with the accrued interest on the outstanding secured convertible debentures, $80 for accrued interest on notes payable to related parties and $1 in connection with the deferred financing costs relating to the outstanding secured convertible debentures.  Interest income, which was not significant, consists of interest earned on bank deposits and an institutional money market fund.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, we had $28 and $34 in cash and an accumulated deficit of $88,407 and $90,234, respectively.  At September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, we had a working capital deficit of $19,949 and $22,165, respectively.

 
19

 
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $180 and $365 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease from 2014 to 2015 was primarily due to the decrease in overall expenses.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $175 and $350 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The decrease in financing activities is primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of secured convertible debentures in the amount of $175 in 2015 compared to proceeds from a related party note payable of $350 in 2014.  The net proceeds from our financing activities were used to support general and administrative expenses, purchases from suppliers and selling costs.

We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures.  Our capital requirements are not significant as the majority of our performance and cleaning products are outsourced to third party suppliers.  In the foreseeable future, we will require capital for the growth of our business, including increases in personnel, sales and marketing, and purchasing finished goods to fulfill orders.

Losses from operations are continuing subsequent to September 30, 2014 and we anticipate that we will continue to generate losses from operations in the near future.  Since inception, we have financed our operations by issuing securities (common stock and debt instruments) in various private placement transactions and from revenue generated by sales of our products.
 
Debentures and Warrants
 
In fiscal 2012 and 2013, we realized gross proceeds of $7,500 ($2,250 in December 2011, $4,000 in October 2012 and $1,250 in March 2013), in fiscal 2014, we realized gross proceeds of $2,354 ($1,080 in November 2013, $870 in March 2014 and $404 in June 2014) in fiscal 2015, we realized gross proceeds of $1,315 ($350 in September 2014, $300 in December 2014, $520 in March 2015 and $145 in June 2015) and in fiscal 2016, we realized $175 from the sale of additional 6.0% Secured Convertible Debentures, due March 31, 2016, and warrants to purchase 32,544,000 shares of Common Stock on or before December 31, 2019.  The fiscal 2015 debentures have a conversion price of $0.06 per share.  The fiscal 2016 debentures have a conversion price of $0.02 per share.

Due to the weighted average anti-dilution provision the conversion price of $7,500 of debentures was reduced from $0.17 to $0.12 per share.   In addition the attached warrants exercise price was reduced from $0.21 to $0.14 per share.  We may prepay the Debentures at any time without penalty upon ten business days prior written notice to the Investors provided there is, at that time, an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants.

Management Change

In May 2015, Jeffrey Loch resigned as President and Chief Marketing Officer.  In July 2015, Mr. Adams resigned from his positions as Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Secretary of the Company.

Going Concern Consideration

Due to our limited amount of additional committed capital, recurring losses, negative cash flows from operations and our ability to pay outstanding liabilities, in their report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, our independent auditors stated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, assuming that we will continue as a going concern.

Since inception, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations.  As of September 30, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $88,407 with total stockholders’ deficit of $15,098.  We had a working capital deficit of $19,949 at September 30, 2015 and are currently in default of the 3.25% Secured Note, the Promissory Note and the 6% Secured Notes issued to related party disclosed in notes 5 and 6.  These notes matured on September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively, and have not been extended and are payable upon demand.

We have undertaken, and will continue to implement, various measures to address our financial condition, including:

●  
Continue discussions with existing and potential new investors to invest in us.
●  
Seek debt, equity and other forms of financing, including funding through strategic partnerships.
●  
Attempt to increase revenues in order to reduce or eliminate our operating losses and enable us to meet our financial obligations.
●  
Reduce expenses to conserve cash.

Defer certain marketing activities.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure the additional funding we need. If our efforts to do so are unsuccessful, we will be required to further reduce or eliminate our operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation with the participation of our chief executive officer who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation our chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at September 30, 2015 so as to ensure that the information relating to our company required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, process, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures due to the existence of material weaknesses.

The material weaknesses are as follows:

 
A lack of sufficient resources including a designated chief financial officer and an insufficient level of monitoring and oversight, which restricted the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and report information relative to the financial statement assertions in a timely manner, including insufficient documentation and review of selection of generally accepted accounting principles.
     
 
The limited size of the accounting department makes it impractical to achieve an appropriate level of segregation of duties. Specifically, due to lack of personnel, effective controls were not designed and implemented to ensure accounting functions were properly segregated for and
     
 
Due to a lack of adequate staffing within the finance department and adequate staffing within operational departments that provide information to the finance department, we did not establish and maintain effective controls over certain of our period-end financial close and reporting processes. Specifically, effective controls were not designed and implemented to ensure that journal entries were properly prepared with sufficient support or documentation or were reviewed and approved to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the journal entries recorded.

The Company may add additional personnel and procedures, which we believe will remedy these weaknesses in disclosure controls and procedures in future periods. However, there are no assurances we will be able to devote the necessary capital to hire the additional personnel and institute the additional systems, policies and procedures to the level necessary. In that event, there are no assurances that the material weaknesses described above will be timely remediated or not result in errors in our financial statements in future periods.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report there have been material changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f).  These changes have resulted from the resignation of our Chief Financial Officer. This may materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  As part of our remediation efforts, the Company may hire qualified accounting personnel to implement a Company-wide improvement and remediation program.

Limitation of the Effectiveness of Internal Control

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met.  Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

From time to time, we may become involved in routine litigation incidental to our business.  Further, product liability claims may be asserted in the future relative to events not known to management at the present time.  Management believes that our risk management practices, including our insurance coverage, are reasonably adequate to protect against potential material product liability losses.  We are not a party to any material legal proceeding not in the ordinary course of business at this time.
