PureSafe Water Systems Inc. and Subsidiary
 Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

PureSafe Water Systems, Inc.  (the "Company")  is a Delaware corporation engaged in the design, development, manufacturing  and sales of the  PureSafe™ First Response Water System (the “FRWS”), both within and outside of the United States. The Company's corporate headquarters and factory are located in Plainview, New York.

NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included.
 
The operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2013.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates, among other things, are used in accounting for allowances for deferred income taxes, expected realizable values for long-lived assets (primarily intangible assets and property and equipment), contingencies, as well as the recording and presentation of its common stock.  Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements of PureSafe Water Systems, Inc. include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PureSafe Manufacturing and Research Corporation. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company generally recognizes revenues under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104  when the following criteria are met, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In addition the Company may enter agreements that include multiple elements (i.e., products and services/training).  Revenue under multiple element arrangements is recognized in accordance with FASB ASC 605-25  Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605”) .  When vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence of selling price for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, the Company develops a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocates arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. Additionally, this guidance eliminates the residual method of allocation.  If an arrangement includes undelivered elements that are not essential to the functionality of the delivered elements, we defer the fair value of the undelivered elements with the residual revenue allocated to the delivered elements. Fair value is determined based upon the price charged when the element is sold separately. If there is not sufficient evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements, no revenue is allocated to the delivered elements and the total consideration received is deferred until delivery of those elements for which objective and reliable evidence of the fair value is not available. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any multiple deliverable elements.
 

Inventories

Inventory amounts are stated at lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or market.

Cost incurred in conjunction with the debt financing has been capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense using the straight line method, which approximates the interest rate method over the term of the debt and is included as a component of other assets.

Derivative Liabilities

In connection with the issuance of certain convertible promissory notes, the terms of the convertible notes included an embedded conversion feature; which provided for the settlement of certain convertible promissory notes into shares of common stock at a rate which was determined to be variable.  The Company determined that the conversion feature was an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the conversion option and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.  As a result of entering into the convertible promissory notes, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee warrants as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date.  Any change in fair value was recorded as a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for each reporting period at each balance sheet date.  The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date.  If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

The fair value of conversion options that are convertible at a fixed number of shares or at a fixed conversion price are recorded using the intrinsic value method and conversion options at variable rates are deemed to be a “down-round protection” and therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815.  Since, “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The Company determined the fair value of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Intrinsic Value Method to be materially the same. Warrants that have been reclassed to derivative liability that did not contain “down-round protection” were valued using the  black-scholes model. The Company’s outstanding warrants did not contain any down round protection.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair value of the warrants or options granted.  The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates.  The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants.  The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or options granted
 
The principal assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes model were as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company reports stock-based compensation under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.  ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees as compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, which require that each such equity instrument is recorded at its fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed.
 
The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair values of options. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the subject options or warrants.

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $1,391,000 and $450,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $5 million and $4 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The Company continues to incur recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit since inception of approximately $46 million.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to bring the Company’s products to market and generate revenues, control costs, and obtain additional financing, as required and on reasonable terms. The Company’s plans with respect to these matters include restructuring its existing debt and raising additional financing in the next twelve months through issuance of stock and/or debt. On January 23, 2013, The Company signed an Engineering Package Agreement (“ETG Agreement”) with Engineering Technologies Group, Inc. (“ETG”), Hopkinton, Massachusetts.  Under the engineering agreement, ETG will provide detailed electronic engineering drawings and purchase specifications for the Company’s water purification and filtration product and to facilitate the outsourcing of the assembly, sub-assembly and manufacturing. On January 25, 2013, the Company entered into an Exclusive Sales and Marketing Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Global Equipment Marketing, Inc. (“GEM”), Hopkinton, Massachusetts, a distribution and marketing company. Under the Distribution Agreement, on an exclusive basis, GEM is responsible for promoting and selling the Company’s products at their cost and expense.  In exchange, GEM will receive a discount from the list prices of PureSafe products in connection with sales to its dealers, distributors, representatives and resellers. The Company remains responsible for the design and manufacturing of the products.
 

The Company believes that based on the new dynamics with the Company’s strategic relationship with GEM and ETG, the Company can be cash positive with the sale of 12 FRWS units by the end of 3rd quarter of 2013. The extent of these initiatives will be contingent upon the amount of capital raised.

The Company can give no assurance that such financing will be available on terms advantageous to the Company, or at all.  Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all of its operational activities. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
On February 28, 2013, the Company increased the authorized Common Shares of the Company from 800,000,000 to 2,000,000,000.  The Company filed a Schedule 14C Information Statement with SEC in connection with such increase.

NOTE 4: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not have, or are not believed by management to have, a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents from the assumed exercise of options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. Common stock equivalents were excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements.  As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Standard clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement.

ASC 820 establishes the following hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

 
Level 1 – Inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
 
Level 2 – Inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
 
Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.
 
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.
  
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013 are as follows:

   
Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Liabilities
(Level 1)
   
Significant Other Observable Inputs
(Level 2)

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of derivative liabilities associated with convertible debt that contains an indeterminable conversion share price and the tainted warrants as the Company cannot determine if it will have sufficient authorized common stock to settle such arrangements.
 

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

General

PureSafe Water Systems, Inc. (herein referred to as the “Company”, “Puresafe”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1987.   The manufacture and marketing of water coolers and filters constituted a substantial part of our business from 1993 until the fourth quarter of 2001, at which time such operations were sold and we began concentrating on the further development, manufacturing and marketing of a patented line of water purification systems.   Between January 2002 and November 2012, we have generated nominal revenues and were deemed for accounting purposes to be a development stage enterprise.  

We have generated our first sale of the FRWS in December of 2012 followed by our second sale in the first quarter of 2012 and the third sale in November 2012.  Accordingly, we are no longer deemed to be a development stage enterprise.  We are, however, an early stage commercial enterprise.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming our company will continue as a going concern. The PureSafe FRWS is the product line by which we have generated our first significant sales since 2001.  
 
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

Revenues.  We recognized $0 revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 as compared with $265,000 for the same period in 2012.  We sold and delivered one FRWS unit to a customer in February, 2012 and sold none in the same period of 2013.

Cost of goods sold.  Cost of goods sold for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 was $0 as compared with $197,059 for the same period in 2012.  The $197,059 cost of goods sold is associated with the sales generated in February 2012.

Selling, general and administrative.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 was $957,727 compared to $630,829 for the same period in 2012, a $326,898 or 52% increase. 

The following is an analysis of Selling, general and administrative expenses fluctuations between 2013 and 2012.

Compensation and related benefits expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 was $599,572, compared to  $372,560 for the same period in 2012, a $227,012 or 61% increase.  The main reason for the $227,012 increase was from the following categories:

Directors’ fees increased $28,800 from $42,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 to $70,800 for the same period in 2013.  The $28,800 or $69% increase for the directors’s fees is the result of the market price fluctuation between the fair value of the market price on the date of warrant issuance and the warrant exercise.  Salaries expenses, excluding Stock-based compensation, increased $40,461 from $165,010 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 to $205,472 for the same period in 2013.  In 2012, we treated the compensation to the production staff as part of the Cost of Sales and in 2013, we recognized it as part of general salaries because we scaled back our production activities and the compensation to the same group of staff was primarily for the general activities they performed during this period.  Stock Based Compensation, excluding directors’ fees and consulting fees increased $173,800 from $149,500 for the three month period ended in March 31, 2012 to $323,300 for the same period in 2013.  We issued 27,000,000 shares of common stock to our employees and contractors in the first three months of 2013 and recorded $171,300 stock-based compensation for such issuance.  This is in comparison to 2,300,000 shares of common stock issued and $149,500 stock-based compensation recorded in the same period of 2012, an increase of  24,900,000 shares and $21,800 increase,  In addition, on February 11, 2013, the Compensation Committee granted our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer a total of 25,000,000 warrants to purchase 25,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0033 per share.  We recorded $152,000 stock-based compensation in connection with such grant.

Insurance and medical benefits for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 was $12,544 compared to $23,658 for the same period in 2012, a $11,114 or 47% decrease.  Our insurance premium for the workers’ compensation policy for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 is significantly lower compared to the same period in 2012 because we have a smaller production staff in 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 and as a result of such reduction in production staff, we were able to  reduce our premium for the 2013 workers’ compensation policy.
 
Research and development.  Research and development expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 were $10,452 compared to $35,514 in the same period of 2012, a $25,062 or 71% decrease.  Due to cash restrictions, we have curtailed the expenses on research and development and have focused our resources on production.  However, we understand the vital importance of research and development for our overall success. We are committed to continue to conduct research and development activities to ensure PureSafe FRWS has the most advanced technology within the water filtration equipment industry.

Professional, legal and consulting fees increased $154,180 from $51,086 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 to $205,266 for the same period in 2013.  The main reason for the $154,180 or 302% increase is that, in the first three months of 2013, we recorded $177,000 of stock-based consulting fees represented by 28,000,000 shares of our common stock being issued to two consultants for services we received.  In the same period of 2012, we only issued 86,538 shares of common stock representing  $4,500 of stock-based consulting fees.
 
Marketing expenses, including stock-based compensation increased $17,520 from $7,480 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 to $25,000 for the same period in 2013.   In September 2012, we reinstated to accrue annual compensation of $100,000 to an outside marketing consultant which we had stopped in January 2011.  The increase in marketing expense in 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 is the result of such action.  In April 2013, that outside consultant tendered his resignation and we stopped accruing marketing expenses in connection with his service.  We should see a decline in marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2013 as a result of his resignation, if all other marketing related activities are maintained at the same level.

Occupancy related expenses decreased $11,486 from $69,422 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 to $57,936 for the same period in 2013.   The decrease in occupancy related expenses in 2013 compare to the same period in 2012 is the result of  small decreases in many different areas, such as a reduction in cleaning services and repairs and maintenance, etc.

Loss on abandonment of property decreased $34,708 from $34,708 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 to $0 for the same period in 2013.  In the first quarter of 2012, the management made an executive decision to consolidate our two facilities.  We moved our headquarters from 25 Fairchild Avenue, Plainview, New York to our current location at 160 Dupont Street, Plainview, New York.  We wrote-off $34,708 of Leasehold improvement in 2012 as a result of such move.

Other administrative and general expenses decreased $10,556 from $36,401 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 to $46,957 for the same period in 2013.  The $10,556 or 29% decrease is a combination of reductions of other expenses that were not included in the above discussed sections.

Other Income (Expenses)

We incurred $433,046 non-operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $113,322 non-operating income generated for the same period in 2012, a $546,368 difference.

The following is a detailed analysis for such decrease:

We received a one-time refund from an insurance company as a result of a policy premium audit.  We recorded $23,538 non-recurring non-operating income in connection with such refund.

Interest expense - non-debt discount related incurred in the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $99,209 and $59,820, respectively, a $39,389 or 66% increase.  The increase of non-debt discount related interest expense was primarily due to the new loans created during the 12 months after March 31, 2012.

Interest expense - debt discount related incurred in the three month period ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $36,163 and $71,358, respectively, a $35,195 or a 49% decrease.  The main reason for the decrease in debt-discount related interest expense is that we fully amortized the debt discount of most of our loan that we entered in 2011 and 2012.
 
Change in fair value of warrants and embedded conversion options.  Changes in fair value of warrants and embedded conversion options for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $326,200 and $(244,500), respectively.

The accounting treatment, pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, of derivative financial instruments requires that we record the conversion option and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the convertible debenture agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.  As a result of issuing the convertible promissory notes, we were required to reclassify all other non-employee warrants and options as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date.  Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date.  We reassess the classification of the instruments at each balance sheet date.  If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2013, we maintained a cash balance of $29,323 as compared to $46,411 as of the same date in 2012.

Net cash used in the operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to same period of 2012 increased by $293,387 or 339% from $86,494 to $379,881 respectively.   The main factor for the increase of net cash used in operating activities is, althoughly we spent approximately $110,000 less cash in operating activities, we did not receive any cash from operating activities, such as sales, in 2013, compared to approximately $395,000 received through sales and other operating activities in the same period of 2012.
 
Net cash used in investing activities in 2013 and 2012 was $7,458 and $0, respectively.
 
In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, we raised $395,000 and $30,000 through sales of our common stock and warrant exercises. Funds received from officers’ and directors’ convertible loans were $16,177 and $0.  Cash received from issuing convertible promissory notes were $25,000 and $126,000.  Cash used to repay convertible notes payable were $60,961 and $0, respectively.   Cash used to repay officers and directors notes were $22,125 and $0, respectively.   Cash used to repay notes payable were $0 and $141,323.  From the above activities, net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $353,090 and $14,677, respectively.

From all the above activities, net cash used for three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $34,248 and $71,817, respectively.

At March 31, 2013, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $5 million.  We continue to suffer recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit since inception of approximately $46 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to bring our products to market and generate revenues, control costs, and obtain additional financing, as required and on reasonable terms. Our plans with respect to these matters include restructuring our existing debt and raising additional financing in the next twelve months through issuance of stock and/or debt. On January 23, 2013, we signed an Engineering Package Agreement (“ETG Agreement”) with ETG/Engineering Technologies Group, Inc. (“ETG”), Hopkinton, Massachusetts.  Under the engineering agreement, ETG will provide detailed electronic engineering drawings and purchase specifications for our water purification and filtration product and to facilitate the outsourcing of the assembly, sub-assembly and manufacturing of our product. On January 25, 2013, we entered into an Exclusive Sales and Marketing Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Global Equipment Marketing, Inc. (“GEM”), Hopkinton, Massachusetts, a distribution and marketing company. Under the Distribution Agreement, GEM is responsible, on an exclusive basis, for promoting and selling our products at their cost and expense.  In exchange, GEM will receive a discount from the list prices of PureSafe products in connection with sales to its dealers, distributors, representatives and resellers. We remain responsible for the design and manufacturing of our products.
 
We believe that based on the new dynamics with our strategic relationship with GEM and ETG, the Company can be cash positive with the sale of 12 FRWS units by the end of 3rd quarter of 2013.

The extent of these initiatives will be contingent upon the amount of capital raised.

We can give no assurance that such financing will be available on terms advantageous to us, or at all.  Should we not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations, we would need to curtail certain or all of our operational activities. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not have, or are not believed by management to have, a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of the statements in accordance with these principles requires that we make estimates, using available data and our judgment, for such things as valuing assets, accruing liabilities and estimating expenses. The following is a list of what we believe are the most critical estimations that we make when preparing our consolidated financial statements.
 
Stock-Based Compensation

We reports stock-based compensation under ASC 718.  ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values.

We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees as compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and 505, which require that each such equity instrument is recorded at its fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair value of the options or their equivalent granted. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates.
 
The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants that have no vesting restrictions and that are fully transferable. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the options granted.

We have issued equity instruments in the past to raise capital and as a means of compensation to employees and for the settlement of debt. 

Income taxes
 
We account for income taxes under guidance provided by ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.
 
 
19

 
In accordance with ASC 740, interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated (if applicable) and would be classified as “Interest expense, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “General and administrative expenses.”
 
Our uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. We file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2008.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

This Item is not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  Our management identified the following material weaknesses as of March 31, 2013.
 
 
20

 
Entity Level. We recognize the need to provide leadership and guidance to our employees regarding the maintenance and preparation of financial matters. There is a weakness due to the fact that there are not documented policies and procedures in place for certain procedures. In addition we have not established an independent audit committee and the board of directors have assumed this responsibility.
 
Financial Reporting. There needs to be a more structured mechanism for evidence of review in the financial reporting process. The following procedures have been implemented since the beginning of 2009, (a) CFO signs and date all financial documents upon the completion of reviewing such documents, (b) all approval or permission will be evidenced by either email or in writing. No oral approval or permission is allowed, (c) General Journal is recorded only after CFO approves (in writing) such entry and (d) monthly bank reconciliations must complete within 15 days after month ends and reviewed by CFO 5 days after the completion of bank reconciliation. Due to our limited personnel and resources we are not always in compliance with these procedures.

Complex Accounting Transactions: Due to our limited resources and personnel management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2013, a material weakness exists because the Company does not currently employ a sufficient number of qualified accounting personnel to ensure proper and timely evaluation of complex accounting, tax, and disclosure issues that may arise during the course of the Company’s business. 

Confidential Reporting Mechanism: We recognize that we need to provide leadership and guidance to our employees, clients and vendors regarding business ethics and professional conduct. A confidential reporting mechanism must be in place for anonymous reporting of a breach to these ethics that will enable prompt and thorough investigation. In January 2009, we implemented a whistleblower program. A toll-free number, as well as an email address, were posted on the homepage of our website to encourage our employee, contractors, sub-contractors, vendors to report any unethical or illegal behavior they suspect. Due to our limited personnel and resources we do not have an independent audit committee overseeing this process.

Segregation of Duties: Our administrative staff consists of three officers, one Controller and one receptionist and segregation of duties conflicts exist with our day to day operations. Therefore, we have relied heavily on entity or management review controls to lessen the issue of segregation of duties.
 
Management intends to address these material weakness by reviewing the Company’s accounting and finance processes to identify any improvements thereto that might enhance the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and determine the feasibility of implementing such improvements and by seeking qualified employees and/or outside consultants who possess the knowledge needed to eliminate this weakness with our available resources.  To mediate the material weaknesses management has increased its level of monitoring activities and has prepared additional analyses of key financial accounts. In addition the Company hires an outside consultant to assist management with its annual and quarterly SEC reporting. The Company’s ability to remediate these weaknesses, however, has been delayed or limited by resource constraints. Upon receiving adequate financing the Company plans to increase its controls in these areas by hiring more experienced employees in financial reporting, establishing an audit committee and formally documenting the controls the Company has in place.
 
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Given these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of our 2013 fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
