EXPLANATORY NOTE

MagneGas Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed on March 23, 2016 (the “Original 10-K”) to reflect certain changes to Item 9A of Part II – Controls and Procedures. Item 9A clarifies the conclusion of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as required by Item 307 of Regulation S-K and lists the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  

In accordance with applicable SEC rules and as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment includes new certifications from our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer dated as of the date of filing of this Amendment.

No changes have been made to the Original 10-K other than to Item 9A of Part II and to the four certification exhibits. This Amendment speaks as of the date of the Original 10-K, does not reflect events that may have occurred after the date of the Original 10-K and does not modify or update in any way the disclosures made in the Original 10-K, except as required to reflect the revisions discussed above. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-K and with our filings with the SEC filed subsequent to the filing of the Original 10-K.

PART II

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the C carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (the Company’s principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified below.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and to the Board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of our published financial statements.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessment, management identified material weaknesses related to: (i) our internal audit functions; and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2015, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm as we are a smaller reporting company and not required to provide the report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
