Revenue
Recognition
The
Company follows the guidance of ASC Topic 606, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”). The revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognize
revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which
the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step
model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine
the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue
when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable
consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized
would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
Revenues
under Topic 606 are required to be recognized either at a “point in time” or “over time”, depending on
the facts and circumstances of the arrangement, and will be evaluated using a five-step model.
The
Company principally generates revenue through three operating streams: (1) the sale of MagneGas fuel for metal cutting and through
the sales of other industrial and specialty gases and related products through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries,
(2) by providing consulting services and (3) through the sales of the Plasma Arc Flow Systems. The Company’s revenue recognition
policy is as follows:
●
|
Revenue
for metal-working fuel, industrial gases and welding supplies is recognized when performance obligations of the sale are satisfied.
The majority of the Company’s terms of sale have a single performance obligation to transfer products. Accordingly,
the Company recognizes revenue when control has been transferred to the customer, generally at the time of shipment of products.
Under the previous revenue recognition accounting standard, the Company recognized revenue upon transfer of title and risk
of loss, generally upon the delivery of goods.
|
|
|
●
|
Consulting
Services are earned through various arrangements. The Company applies the five-step process outlined in ASC 606 when recognizing
revenue with regards to the consulting services:
|
|
○
|
The
Company enters into a written consulting agreement with a customer to provide professional services and has an enforceable
right to payment for its performance completed to date;
|
|
|
|
|
○
|
All
of the promised services are identified to determine whether those services represent performance obligations;
|
|
|
|
|
○
|
In
consideration for the services to be rendered, the Company expects to receive incremental payments during the term of the
agreement;
|
|
|
|
|
○
|
Payments
are estimated for each performance obligation and allocated in accordance with payment terms; and
|
|
|
|
|
○
|
The
nature of the consulting services is such that the customer will receive benefits of the Company’s performance only
when the customer receives the professional services. Consequently, the entity recognizes revenue over time by measuring the
progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
|
●
|
Plasma
Arc Flow Units Revenue generated from sales of each unit is recognized upon delivery and completion of the performance obligation.
Significant deposits are required before production commences. These deposits are classified as customer deposits.
|
Contract
Balances
The
timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue
is recognized prior to payment and there is an unconditional right to payment.

Preferred
Stock
The
Company applies the accounting standards for distinguishing liabilities from equity under U.S. GAAP when determining the classification
and measurement of its Preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as liability instruments
and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable preferred shares (including preferred shares that feature redemption
rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely
within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, preferred shares are classified as
permanent equity.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 718, “Compensation—Stock
Compensation” (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to
the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock based compensation expense recognized
includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant date
fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or
canceled during the periods reported.
The Company incurred stock-based compensation charges for employees, officers and directors of $526,824 and
$221,257 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, $744,520 and $221,257 for the six months ended June 30,
2019 and 2018, respectively, and has included such amounts in selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of operations.
The Company incurred stock-based compensation charges for non-employees, net of estimated forfeitures of $1,670,876
and $490,758 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $3,309,504 and $839,983 for the six months ended
June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and has included such amounts in selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Basic
and Diluted Net (Loss) per Common Share
Basic
(loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
for each period. Diluted (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the common stock equivalents.
As
of June 30, 2019, and 2018 the Company’s common stock equivalents outstanding were as follows:

8,880,000 warrants remaining as of June 30, 2019.
NOTE
9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Certain
conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company,
but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities,
and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings
that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived
merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected
to be sought therein.
If
the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability
can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the
assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable
but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable
and material, would be disclosed.
Loss
contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would
be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business,
financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
It
is possible that we may be subject to litigation or claims for indemnification in connection with the sale of our common stock
in inadvertent unregistered transactions that occurred in 2018. The SEC may determine to investigate the unregistered transactions
in our common stock, which could subject us to potential enforcement actions by the SEC under Section 5 of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and may result in injunctive relief or the imposition of fines. In addition,
it is possible that we had other unregistered offers or sales of our common stock, other than the aforementioned inadvertent unregistered
transactions that occurred in 2018, and we may be subject to litigation or claims for indemnification in connection with any such
offers or sales. If any such claims were to succeed, we might not have sufficient funds to pay the resulting damages. There can
be no assurance that the insurance coverage we maintain would cover any such expenses or be sufficient to cover any claims against
us. In addition to the monetary value of any claim, any litigation, regulatory action or governmental proceeding to which we are
a party could adversely affect us by harming our reputation, diverting the time and attention of management, and causing the Company
to incur significant litigation expenses, which would all materially and adversely affect our business.
In
addition, we may be a party to litigation matters involving our business, which operates within a highly regulated industry. On
September 4, 2018, we received notice that a law firm representing the estate of an individual who sustained life-ending injuries
while working for an end user of our products had made a claim to our insurance carrier. The matter is under investigation by
the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration. The Company is still investigating
the cause of the accident and there have been no conclusive findings as of this time. It is unknown whether the final cause of
the accident will be determined and whether those findings will negatively impact Company operations or sales. The Company continues
to be fully operational and transparent with all regulatory agencies.
In
addition, on April 15, 2019, we received notice that a class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of our shareholders who purchased
shares of the Company, f/k/a MagneGas Applied Technology Solutions, Inc. from January 28, 2019 through February 12, 2019, inclusive.
The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for the Company’s investors under the federal securities laws. The litigation is in
the early stages and it is unknown whether it will have a financial impact on the Company.
On June 25, 2019, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed against certain of
the Company’s directors and officers in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The case is captioned
Falcone v. Dingess, et al., No. CV-19-04547-PHX-DJH (D. Ariz.). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants
violated federal securities laws, including Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by making
alleged false and/or misleading statements and failing to disclose certain information regarding the Company’s business
with the City of San Diego. The factual allegations upon which these claims are based are similar to the factual allegations made
in the class action lawsuit filed against the Company on April 15, 2019. The Company has not accrued for any liability related
to this lawsuit at this time.
As
of June 30, 2019, the Company has not accrued for any litigation contingency.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The
following is a “safe harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements contained
in this document that are not based on historical facts are “forward-looking statements.” This Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance
and underlying assumptions that are not statements of historical facts. This document and any other written or oral statements
made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events
and financial performance. We may, in some cases, use words such as “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,”
“plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “should,”
“would,” “could,” “potentially,” “will,” “may” or similar words and
expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements.
The
forward-looking statements in this document are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based on management’s
discussion and analysis or plan of operations and elsewhere in this Report. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable
when made, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, some
of which are beyond our control, and are difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in
forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which reflect
management’s view only as of the date of this Report.
Overview
We
are a technology-based company that is focused on addressing the global constraints on natural resources, including fuel and water.
Our two core technology applications – renewable fuel gasification and water decontamination/sterilization – are derived
from our patented and proprietary Plasma Arc Flow System. The Plasma Arc Flow System works by generating a combination of electric
current, heat, ultraviolet light and ozone, that affects the feedstock run through the system to create a chosen outcome, depending
on whether the system is in “gasification mode” or “sterilization mode”. We use our Plasma Arc Flow System
to make MagneGas, but it has the ability to gasify many forms of liquids and liquid waste such as used vegetable, soybean or motor
oils, certain types of liquified biomass, ethylene glycol and can be used to sterilize bio-contaminants in waste and decontaminate
water.
Gasification
Mode – MagneGas Cutting Fuel
When
the Plasma Arc Flow System is in “gasification mode” and the appropriate feedstock is passed through the system in
a closed loop with constant recirculation (to achieve the maximum possible gasification rates), it creates a renewable, hydrogen-based
synthetic fuel we call “MagneGas”. We sell MagneGas as a metal cutting fuel as an alternative product to acetylene,
which is the most commonly used metal fuel globally, but also happens to be a non-renewable fossil fuel-based metal cutting fuel.
Alternatively, MagneGas is a cleaner, renewable fuel alternative that creates a flame up to 85% hotter than acetylene and cuts
metal up to 38% faster than acetylene, while maintaining a comparable price. The use of MagneGas is nearly identical to acetylene
(it merely requires a different welding tip and a regulator) making it easy for end-users to adopt our product with limited training.
After production, the MagneGas is stored in hydrogen cylinders which are then sold to market on a rotating basis.
Over
the last several years we have acquired and maintain a retail distribution network, which allows us to sell and transport MagneGas
to customers in various metalworking industries. Since 2017, we have doubled the range we are able to distribute MagneGas and
are now able to more efficiently address markets within a 500-mile radius of our production hubs in Florida and Texas. Within
the next two years, we plan to create two production hubs in California to serve the western United States. Finally, we have and
intend to continue to acquire complementary gas and welding supply distribution businesses in order to expand the distribution
and use of MagneGas, other industrial gases and related equipment. We have sold to over 30,000 customers in the public and private
sectors.
Sterilization
Mode
When
the Plasma Arc Flow System is in “sterilization mode”, the system may process any number of liquified waste streams.
In most cases we pass the selected waste stream through the system a limited number of times to achieve the maximum sterilization/decontamination
effect on the waste stream. Sterilization mode also produces modest amounts of gas as a byproduct. Our proprietary combination
of electric current, heat, ultraviolet light and ozone has shown an ability to eliminate up to 99.9% of EPA and USDA regulated
pathogens such as e-coli and fecal coliform. We also believe our technology has the capability to eliminate cyanobacteria commonly
referred to as “blue-green algae” and are currently conducting tests to verify that capability.
The
Plasma Arc Flow System forces a high-volume flow of liquid waste through a submerged plasma arc existing between carbon electrodes,
a process which sterilizes the bio-contaminants within the waste without requiring any chemical disinfecting agents. The Plasma
Arc Flow System also releases a clean burning fuel as a byproduct of the decontamination and sterilization process, which can
be used to offset some energy consumption. Because our Plasma Arc Flow Systems are available in various sizes from 50kW to 500kW,
they are applicable to a broad array of end-users, including: (i) large consumers of cutting fuels (construction companies, shipbuilders,
heavy industry) who desire a safer, renewable, and efficient alternative to acetylene and propane, (ii) producers of contaminated
waste streams (commercial manufacturers, farming operations, chemical producers, etc.) who either desire to or are mandated by
law to treat agricultural, pharmaceutical, industrial or manufacturing waste streams prior to release into the ecosystem and (iii)
local, state or federal governments, desirous of decontaminating water sources or reclaiming waste water that is otherwise unusable.
During
2019 and 2018, as part of our retail growth strategy, we acquired a number of businesses with large customer bases through which
we now offer our proprietary MagneGas product in addition to other gases and welding supplies. The majority of our retail locations
are in Texas and California, which we believe are the two top markets for consumption of metal cutting fuels and related supplies.
We also have locations in Florida and Louisiana. We also market, for sale and licensure, our proprietary plasma arc technology
for gasification and the processing of liquid waste and have developed a global network of brokers to sell the Plasma Arc Flow
System.

Results
of Operations
Comparison
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Revenues
For
the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 we generated revenues of $5,860,062 and $2,907,712, respectively. The 102% increase
in revenue was due primarily to acquisitions completed in the past year and organic sales growth in the area of pre-existing operations.
The Company expanded through acquisition into the markets in California, Texas and Louisiana. Organic revenue growth was strongest
in the Texas market, where the Company has continued to capitalize on its scale and capabilities relative to smaller independently
owned competitors. The California market was partly impact by the national shortage of helium, which offset otherwise steady organic
growth. The Florida market’s ability to grow was in part negatively affected by the lack of an industrial gas fill plant
facility, which became fully operational in August 2019.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 we generated revenues of $10,773,393 and $4,079,464, respectively. The 164% increase
in revenue was due primarily to acquisitions completed in the past year and organic sales growth in the area of pre-existing operations.
For the three
months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 cost of revenues were $3,206,435 and $1,972,586, respectively. For the three months ended
June 30, 2019 and 2018, we generated a gross profit of $2,653,626 and $935,126, respectively. Gross margins for the three months
ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were 45% and 32%, respectively. The improvement in gross margins was primarily due to improved buying
power and economies of scale gained through recent acquisitions. The Company has systematically negotiated better pricing terms
as it has continued to scale through acquisitions. Gross margins are expected to continue to improve as the Company upgrades its
industrial fill plant facilities across all of its markets.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 cost of revenues were $5,887,250 and $2,730,459, respectively. For the six
months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we generated a gross profit of $4,886,143 compared to $1,349,005. Gross margins for the six
months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were 45% and 33%, respectively. The improvement in gross margins was primarily due to improved
buying power and economies of scale gained through recent acquisitions.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
costs for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $8,106,298 and $4,355,964, respectively. The increase in our operating
costs in 2019 was primarily attributable to non-cash stock compensation paid for several prior acquisitions. This expense category
was the second largest expense after payroll, representing approximately 24% of expenses. These payments are now all complete
and are not expected to continue in the third quarter or beyond.
Operating
costs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $16,502,579 and $7,670,321, respectively. The increase in our
operating costs in 2019 was primarily attributable to non-cash stock compensation paid for several prior acquisitions. This expense
category was the second largest expense after payroll, representing approximately 24% of expenses. These payments are now all
complete and are not expected to continue in the third quarter or beyond. Payroll also decreased in both dollar terms and as a
percentage of sales. Payroll averaged 67% of revenues in the first quarter of 2019 and decreased to 49% of sales in the second
quarter. All other expenses also decreased in dollar terms and as a percentage of revenues during the second quarter as compared
to the first quarter of 2019. Expense decreased approximately 11% in the second quarter when compared to the first quarter of
2019. This was primarily due to elimination of many non-recurring expenses for capital raising and acquisitions activities that
were incurred during the first quarter. The Company also saw a significant improvement in expenses as a percentage of sales, which
decreased from 82% of sales during the first quarter of 2019 to 61% of sales in the second quarter. This was largely due to the
Company’s ability to eliminate costs and control expenses while growing revenues.
Net
Loss
Our
operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 have recognized losses in the amount of $5,374,828 compared to $3,495,061
for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in our loss was primarily attributable to non-cash stock compensation paid
for several acquisitions.
Our
operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 have recognized losses in the amount of $11,537,226 compared to
$6,514,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in our loss was primarily attributable to non-cash stock compensation
paid for several acquisitions.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2019, the Company had cash of $1,635,862, has reported a net loss of $11,537,226 and has used cash in
operations of $6,252,234 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a positive
working capital position of $857,696, and a stockholder’s equity balance of $33,123,235. As a result of the
Company’s negative cash flow generation, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern within one year from the issuance date of the financial statements.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan. The
Company has financed its operations through equity and debt financing transactions, but does not anticipate having to do so
in the immediate future. The Company expects to be cash-flow neutral or positive in the foreseeable future. The Company utilizes
cash in its operations of approximately $1,000,000 per month.
The
Company has recently gained sufficient scale in revenues and gross income that are expected to significantly improve its ability
to funds it operations. Management believes that the Company will be increasingly able to independently support its growth without
reliance on additional outside capital, but may be required from time to time to raise additional capital through either equity
offering or indebtedness.
If
these sources do not provide the capital necessary to fund our operations during the next twelve months from the date of this
report, we may need to curtail certain aspects of our operations or expansion activities, consider the sale of our assets or consider
other means of financing. We can give no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our business plan and obtaining
financing on terms advantageous to us or that any such additional financing would be available to us.

For
the six months ended June 30, 2019, we used cash of $6,252,234 in operations in 2019 and used cash of $3,974,246 in operations
in 2018. Our cash use for 2019 was primarily attributable to cash used to reduce vendor balances, accrued expenses and other short-term
liabilities. Our cash use for 2018 was primarily attributable to general corporate needs, acquisitions, the overhaul of our capital
structure, and organic growth initiatives. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash used by investing activities consisted
of $11,480,896 primarily due to the three acquisitions completed in 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash used
by investing activities consisted of $5,516,975. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019
was $17,780,255 as compared to cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $10,051,919.
Our cash provided for 2019 was primarily attributable to the Securities Purchase Agreement completed January 11, 2019, the Underwriting
Agreement completed February 8, 2019, the Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 3, 2019 and the Sales Agreement dated June 6,
2019. The net increase in cash during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $47,125 as compared to a net increase in cash
of $560,698 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Recent
Accounting Standards
Included
in the Note 3 to Financial Statements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
significant accounting policies are presented in this Report in our Notes to financial statements, which are contained in this
Quarterly Report. The significant accounting policies that are most critical and aid in fully understanding and evaluating the
reported financial results include the following:
We
prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that
these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with our Board of Directors (the “Board”); however, actual
results could differ from those estimates.
We
issue restricted stock to consultants for various services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of
the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to
earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.
Long-lived
assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate
that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized
based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar
assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable
from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value
of the asset. When fair values are not available, we estimate fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a
rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.
The
Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method which would require a cumulative effect
adjustment for initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and the
comparative information would not require to be restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect
for those periods.
Based
on the Company’s analysis, the Company did not identify a cumulative effect adjustment for initially applying the new revenue
standards.
The
Company principally generates revenue through three processes: (1) the sale of MagneGas fuel for metal cutting and through the
sales of other industrial and specialty gases and related products through our wholly owned subsidiaries, (2) by providing consulting
services and (3) through the sales of our Plasma Arc Flow Systems. The Company’s revenue recognition policy for the year
ending December 31, 2018 is as follows:
|
●
|
Revenue
for metal-working fuel, industrial gases and welding supplies is recognized when performance obligations of the sale are satisfied.
The majority of the Company’s terms of sale have a single performance obligation to transfer products. Accordingly,
the Company recognizes revenue when control has been transferred to the customer, generally at the time of shipment of products.
Under the previous revenue recognition accounting standard, the Company recognized revenue upon transfer of title and risk
of loss, generally upon the delivery of goods.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
Company applies the five-step process outlined in ASC 606 when recognizing revenue with regards to consulting services:
|
|
○
|
The
Company enters into a written consulting agreement with a customer to provide professional services and has an enforceable
right to payment for its performance completed to date;
|
|
|
|
|
○
|
All
of the promised services are identified to determine whether those services represent performance obligations;
|
|
|
|
|
○
|
In
consideration for the services to be rendered, the Company expects to receive incremental payments during the term of the
agreement;
|
|
|
|
|
○
|
Payments
are estimated for each performance obligation and allocated in accordance with payment terms; and
|
|
|
|
|
○
|
Typically,
consulting services contracts will follow a similar pattern of recognition as legacy GAAP. The nature of the consulting services
is such that the customer will receive benefits of the Company’s performance only when the customer receives the professional
services. Consequently, the entity recognizes revenue over time by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of
the performance obligation.
|
|
●
|
Revenue
generated from sales of each Plasma Arc Flow Unit is recognized upon delivery. Significant deposits are required before production
commences. These deposits are classified as customer deposits.
|
The
fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible into a variable amount of shares and warrants that include price
protection reset provision features are deemed to be “down-round protection” and, therefore, do not meet the scope
exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815 “Derivatives
and Hedging”, since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion
option and warrants 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 accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that we record
the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as
of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each
reporting period at each balance sheet date.
We
reassess the classification of our derivative 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. As a result
of entering into a convertible credit facility for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor,
we have adopted a sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 whereby all future instruments may be classified as a
derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees.
The
Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the warrants and conversion options. The model includes
subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. We determined the fair value of the Binomial
Lattice Model and the Black-Scholes Valuation Model to be materially the same. The expected volatility is estimated based on the
most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants. Conversion options are recorded as debt
discount and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument.
Goodwill
and Indefinite-lived Assets
We
have recorded goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets in connection with our acquisitions. Goodwill, which represents the excess
of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of the acquired company, is not amortized. Indefinite-lived
intangible assets are stated at fair value as of the date acquired in a business combination. The recoverability of goodwill is
evaluated at least annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
We
analyze goodwill first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a
reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a detailed goodwill
impairment test as required. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%.
Events
and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment are:
|
●
|
Macroeconomic
conditions such as a deterioration in general economic conditions, limitations on accessing capital, fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates, or other developments in equity and credit markets.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Industry
and market considerations such as a deterioration in the environment in which an entity operates, an increased competitive
environment, a decline in market-dependent multiples or metrics (considered in both absolute terms and relative to peers),
a change in the market for an entity’s products or services, or a regulatory or political development.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Cost
factors such as increases in raw materials, labor, or other costs that have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Overall
financial performance such as negative or declining cash flows or a decline in actual or planned revenue or earnings compared
with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Other
relevant entity-specific events such as changes in management, key personnel, strategy, or customers, contemplation of bankruptcy,
or litigation.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Events
affecting a reporting unit such as a change in the composition or carrying amount of its net assets, a more-likely-than-not
expectation of selling or disposing of all, or a portion, of a reporting unit, the testing for recoverability of a significant
asset group within a reporting unit, or recognition of a goodwill impairment loss in the financial statements of a subsidiary
that is a component of a reporting unit.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
If
applicable, a sustained decrease in share price (considered in both absolute terms and relative to peers).
|
Management
has evaluated goodwill currently carried on the balance sheet and has evaluated the outlook for profitability and the ability
for the recently acquired businesses to support the value of the goodwill on a go forward basis. Management completed this evaluation
using two distinct business units, the water decontamination business and the fuel business. The water decontamination business
operates at a loss and has no goodwill. The fuel business, which includes all of the welding supply stores, operates at a profit
and has all of the goodwill. The Company believes that the business prospects and financial outlook for the businesses with the
associated goodwill, adequately supports the carried value of the goodwill at this time. Management will continue to evaluate
goodwill for potential impairment in subsequent periods. Should there be a deterioration of event and circumstances in the
third quarter, management will record an impairment of the goodwill.
