TORVEC, INC.
(a development stage company)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE A The Company and Basis of Presentation
The interim information contained herein with respect to the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the period from September 25, 1996 (inception) through September
30, 2010 has not been audited but was prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for financial statements. Included are ordinary
adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and
since inception. The results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
entire year. Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Torvec, Inc. (the company) was incorporated as a New York State business corporation in
September 1996. The company, which has not had any significant revenue producing operations and is
in the development stage, has developed technology for use in automotive applications. In September
1996, the company acquired numerous patents, inventions and know-how contributed by Vernon E.
Gleasman, James Y. Gleasman and Keith E. Gleasman (the Gleasmans). The company has developed, is
refining and intends to commercialize its technologies, presently focusing on its IsoTorque
®
differential and its hydraulic pump.
For the period from September 1996 (inception) through September 30, 2010, the company has
accumulated a deficit of $53,879,000, and at September 30, 2010 has a working capital deficit of
$717,000 and stockholders capital deficit of $550,000. The company has been dependent upon equity
financing and advances from stockholders to meet its obligations and sustain operations. The
companys efforts are principally devoted to the ongoing refining of its technologies and
commercializing its products. In October 2010,
the company raised approximately $2,050,000 in a private equity offering through the issuance of
6,834,002 common shares at a price of $0.30 per share (see Note J [2]). Management believes that based upon its current cash position and its
projected cash flows from its business operations and access to capital markets, the company will
be able to meet its anticipated cash requirements through at least September 30, 2011. However, if
adequate funds are not available, the company may need to downsize operations, incur debt or raise
additional capital. There can be no assurance that the company will be successful in raising
additional capital or incur debt when needed on terms acceptable to the company.
NOTE B Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements include the accounts of the company, its majority-owned inactive
subsidiary, Ice Surface Development, Inc. (56% owned at September 30, 2010 and 2009), and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries Iso-Torque Corporation, IVT Diesel Corp. and Variable Gear LLC. All
material intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
[2]
|
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
|
Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid
debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The company maintains cash and
cash equivalents at financial institutions which periodically may exceed federally insured amounts.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Such estimates are used in determining the useful lives of its fixed assets and the future
realizable value of such assets. The financial statements contain an estimate for a potential
payroll tax liability. These estimates are subject to a high degree of judgment and potential
change. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
7
[4]
|
|
Loss per Common Share:
|
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260-10
requires the presentation of basic earnings per share, which is based on common stock outstanding,
and dilutive earnings per share, which gives effect to options, warrants and convertible securities
in periods when they are dilutive. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010
and 2009, the company excluded 7,722,949 and 3,405,699, and 2,497,949 and 2,430,699 potential
common shares, respectively, relating to convertible preferred stock outstanding, options and
warrants from its
diluted net loss per common share calculation because they are anti-dilutive. The company also
excluded 625,000 warrants at September 30, 2010 and 2009 as the conditions for their vesting were
not yet satisfied.
The company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in FASB ASC
740-10 which requires recording of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary
differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of the companys assets and
liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or
settled. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We adopted FASB
ASC 740-10 relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes on January 1, 2008. As a result
of the implementation of FASB ASC 740-10, we recognized no adjustment for uncertain tax positions.
As of September 30, 2010, we have not recognized an increase or decrease to reserves for uncertain
tax positions nor have we accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The
tax years 2007 through 2009 remain open to examination by the federal and state tax jurisdictions
to which we are subject.
[6]
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
|
The carrying amount of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair value
due to the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of the notes payable is
considered to approximate their fair value.
[7]
|
|
Stock-Based Compensation:
|
The companys Stock Option Plan was terminated as of May 27, 2008 as to the grant of additional
options. 641,848 previously issued and outstanding options remain exercisable in accordance with
the terms of the options. ASC 718-10 requires all share-based payments to employees, including
grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the service period
(generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values
on the grant date. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and
considered in the amount recognized. In addition, the realization of tax benefits in excess of
amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes will be recognized as a financing activity in
accordance with ASC 718-10.
No tax benefits were attributed to the stock-based compensation expense because a valuation
allowance was maintained for substantially all net deferred tax assets. We elected to adopt the
alternative method of calculating the historical pool of windfall tax benefits as permitted by ASC
718-10-65 (prior authoritative literature: FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. SFAS 123(R)-c, Transition
Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards). This is a
simplified method to determine the pool of windfall tax benefits that is used in determining the
tax effects of stock compensation in the results of operations and cash flow reporting for awards
that were outstanding as of the adoption of ASC 718-10.
The companys terms provide that customers are obligated to pay for products sold to them within a
specified number of days from the date that title to the products is transferred to the customers.
The companys standard terms are typically net 30 days. The company recognizes revenue when
transfer of title occurs, risk of ownership passes to a customer at the time of shipment or
delivery depending on the terms of the agreement with a particular customer and collection is
reasonably assured. The sale price of the companys products is substantially fixed and
determinable at the date of the sale based upon purchase orders generated by a customer and
accepted by the company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
|
In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that establishes general standards of
accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In February 2010, the FASB amended
the guidance and removed the contradictions between the requirements of U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles U.S. GAAP (GAAP) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing
rules. As a result, public companies will no longer have to disclose the date of evaluation of
subsequent events in both issued and revised financial statements.
NOTE C License from the Trustees of Dartmouth College
On November 28, 2000, the companys majority-owned subsidiary, Ice Surface Development LLC (Ice
Surface) entered into a 20-year exclusive license with the Trustees of Dartmouth College for
land-based applications to a novel ice adhesion modification system developed by Dr. Victor
Petrenko at Dartmouths Thayer School of Engineering. Under the license agreement the company made
a single payment of $140,000 in 2000 for sponsored research. The license agreement provided for a
royalty of 3.5% based on the value of net sales of licensed product with minimum annual payments of
$10,000 for the first two years, $15,000 for the third year and $25,000 per year through 2021. In
addition, the agreement provided for the payment of 50% of sub-license fee income.
Effective June 15, 2007, Ice Surface assigned the license to an unrelated company, Ice
Engineering, LLC (Ice Engineering) in exchange for Ice Engineerings agreement to pay the
shareholders of Ice Surface an annual royalty equal to
5% of the annual gross revenues generated by the license and its agreement to assume the
obligations to Dartmouth under the license.
Separately, Ice Engineering, agreed to reimburse approximately $3,500,000 of acquisition and
maintenance costs expended by the company in connection with the ice technology. Pursuant to the
reimbursement agreement, the company received $500,000 on September 15, 2007. Under the license
assignment agreement, the $3,000,000 balance was to be paid at the rate of $300,000 per quarter
commencing March 1, 2008, less approximately $91,000 in fees payable to Dartmouth College accrued
through September 14, 2007 to be deducted from the first quarterly reimbursement amount. The company
received the first installment of $209,000 due March 1, 2008 on April 3, 2008 and did not receive
any other installments.
On October 31, 2008, the company commenced an action in New York State Supreme Court, County of New
York, Commercial Division against Ice Engineering, seeking the total balance owed by Ice
Engineering to the company pursuant to the assignment agreement.
On January 27, 2010, the company and Ice Engineering settled this litigation. Under the settlement
agreement, the companys assignment of the ice technology license is made permanent. The company
elected to forego its right to royalties and agreed to receive $1,100,000, with $300,000 paid to
the company by Ice Engineering on January 27, 2010 and $800,000 paid to the company by Ice
Engineering on February 26, 2010.
The company recognized in the first quarter the $1,100,000 received in 2010 in regard to the
settlement of the litigation. The company also recognized in the first quarter the $800,000
previously recorded as deferred income in connection with the original contract for the license
(See Note G).
NOTE D Related Party Transactions
[1]
|
|
Effective January 1, 2008, the board of directors instituted a
compensation plan for James and Keith Gleasman by which the company
would compensate each of them for services performed and inventions
and know-how transferred at the rate of $300,000 per year. Actual
payment under the plan was conditioned upon a board determination
that the company had the requisite cash, after the complete funding
of all ongoing projects, to make payment.
|
|
|
|
The company did not have the requisite cash available to pay the
Gleasmans compensation under this arrangement from January 1, 2008
through August 17, 2009, the date on which each of the Gleasmans
waived all rights and interest in and to the board-created
compensation plan, including all rights and interest in and to the
amount(s) under the plan accrued to such date. As a result of such
waiver, of the $942,000 accrued under the plan at August 17, 2009,

generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the company
and is required under the same accounting guidance to allocate the
amount of such contribution between research and development expenses
on the one hand and general and administrative expenses on the other
hand. For the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2010,

connection with a Securities Purchase Agreement for the issuance of a Convertible Note in the
principal amount of $60,000 due and payable on April 2, 2011, with interest payable at the rate of
8% per annum.
The outstanding Note principal can be converted, in whole or in part, into the companys common
stock at the election of the Holder from time to time beginning 180 days after the July 2, 2010

the Holders conversion notice is sent to the company.
The company may prepay the principal amount of the Note and all accrued interest at any time
beginning on the July 2, 2010 issue date and expiring 180 days thereafter. In the event the company
elects to prepay within the first 90 days, the repayment amount is 150% of the $60,000 principal
amount and outstanding accrued interest and if between the 91
st
and the 180
th
day, the repayment amount is 175% of the $60,000 principal amount and outstanding accrued interest.
In the event of default, the amount of principal and interest not paid when due bears interest at
the rate of 22% per annum and the Note becomes immediately due and payable.
The Note agreement contains covenants requiring the Holders written consent for certain activities
not in existence or not committed to by the company on the date of issuance as follows: common
stock dividend distributions in cash or shares, stock repurchases, borrowings, sale of
significantly all assets, certain advances and loans in excess of $100,000 and certain guarantees
with respect to third-party liabilities.
Due to the prepayment penalty clause in the agreement, the company has recorded a $30,000 charge to
other expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as of September 30, 2010. As
of September 30, 2010, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect a liability of $90,000 for

Option Issued to Chief Executive Officer:
|
|
|
|
On September 30, 2010, the company granted a stock option for 5,150,000
common shares exercisable for ten years at an exercise price of $0.36 per common share
to its newly appointed chief executive officer. The option vests and is exercisable as
follows: 1,000,000 options vest and are exercisable immediately upon grant; a
second 1,000,000 options vest and are exercisable upon the trading price of the
companys common stock closing at a minimum of $1.00 per share; a
third 1,000,000 options vest and are exercisable upon the trading price of the
companys common stock closing at a minimum of $2.00 per share; a
fourth 1,000,000 options vest and are exercisable upon the trading price of

balance of the options, namely 1,150,000 options, vest and are exercisable upon the
trading price of the companys common stock closing at a minimum of $4.00 per share.
The company valued the option using a variation of a Black-Scholes model, with the following
assumptions: (a) an average expected term of 8 years; (b) an expected forfeiture rate of 0%; (c) a risk-free interest rate of 2.1%; (d) an average volatility of 96%; and (f) a dividend yield of 0%. The weighted average value of a single option was determined to be $0.29. Immediate vesting was utilized for the initial tranche and the shorter of the expected vesting period
or the
5
1
/
4
years expected
service period will be utilized to amortize the expense related to each of the other tranches, but amortization will be accelerated if the market price milestone is achieved prior to the end of the amortization period. The company charged $262,000 to general and administrative expense as a result of the immediate vesting of 1,000,000 options on September 30, 2010.

Shares Issued to Trust for Consulting Services:
|
|
|
|
On September 17, 2005, certain consultants created a trust to enable them to sell business consultants shares issued to them by the company under
their consultant agreements. The company issues business consultant common shares to the trust from time to time, contingent on the performance
of services by the consultants under such consultant agreements. The company values the shares issued to the trust using the closing market price
on the date immediately prior to the date of issuance.
|
|
|
|
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, the company issued 0 and 104,167 business consultants shares of common stock valued at $0 and $50,000,
respectively, to the trust to satisfy the payment of invoices submitted by the consultants for services rendered during such periods. In May, 2010, the consultants
elected to terminate the trust and on May 24, 2010, 88,857 business consulting shares which were unallocated with respect to the payment of invoices as of the
termination were returned to the company and cancelled on the companys record books.
|
|
|
|
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, the company issued 264,321 and 595,376 business consultants shares of common stock valued at $179,000
and $460,150, respectively, to the trust to satisfy the payment of invoices submitted by the consultants for services rendered during such periods.
|
|
[11]
|
|
Commercializing Event Plan:
|
|
|
|
On October 13, 2006, the board of directors adopted a Commercializing Event Plan (2006 Event Plan) designed to reward the companys directors, executives and certain
administrative personnel for the successful completion of one or more commercializing events. No payments were made under the 2006 Event Plan and the 2006 Event Plan was
terminated on October 31, 2007.
|
|
|
|
On October 31, 2007, the board of directors adopted a new 2007 Commercializing Event Plan (the 2007 Event Plan). The 2007 Event Plan provides that upon the happening
of any commercializing event, each of the directors and executive officers of the company as well as certain management personnel shall be entitled to share equally in
6% of the gross amount derived or to be derived from the commercializing event transaction(s). Similarly, certain of the companys engineers are entitled to share
equally in 2% of such gross amount. The plan provides for payment to be made with the issuance of common shares.
|
|
|
|
In order to actually receive payment under the 2007 Event Plan, each participant must be both a) employed by, a consultant to or associated with the company and b)
judged to be in good standing with the company at the time payment is made, all as determined by the board as of the date of the boards authorization of payments to
be made.
|
|
|
|
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, the company issued 0 and 32,077 common shares under the 2007 Event Plan and recorded charges of $0 and
$13,000, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, the company issued 4,669 common shares under the 2007 Event Plan and recorded
charges of $14,000.
|

|
|
The company accounts for the settlement of its compensation arrangements to non-employee consultants, directors, executives and certain administrative personnel with the
issuance of its business consulting shares under ASC 505-50 (previously known as: FASB Statement 123(R) Share Based Payment), provided that there are sufficient shares
under the business consultants plan. Under ASC 505-50, the company measures compensation arrangements at the fair value of the equity instruments issued. In the event that
there are insufficient shares available to settle the obligation, the company will follow the provisions of FASB ASC 815-40 (prior authoritative literature: EITF 00-19
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock). Under ASC 815-40, the company will record a liability
instrument for the resulting changes in fair value from the date due to the end of each reporting period until such liability is satisfied.
|
|
|
|
In the fourth quarter of 2007, certain engineering consultants agreed to cancel 445,000 warrants issued in 2005 and 2006 in exchange for their participation in the 2007
Event Plan. The exchange of the warrants for the participation rights in a commercialization event did not result in an accounting charge. The warrants at the date of
the exchange were considered to have no value because the underlying condition for vesting the warrants was not satisfied. The company determined that the fair value of
the rights to be de minimis at the date of the exchange based on managements estimate (see Note: F [9]).
|
|
|
|
On March 28, 2008, the board of directors approved the grant of an aggregate 195,000 common stock warrants exercisable until December 1, 2016 at $5.00 per share to two
engineering consultants in lieu of their participation in the 2007 Event Plan. The company valued the warrants at $249,000 using the Black-Scholes option/pricing model
and charged operations.
|
Effective
November 3, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors terminated
the commercialising Event plan (see Note J(4)).

NOTE H Litigation
On October 31, 2008, the company commenced an action in New York Supreme Court, County of New York,
Commercial Division against Ice Engineering, LLC seeking the total balance owed by Ice Engineering
to the company pursuant to an assignment agreement entered into by the parties, effective
June 15, 2007, whereby the company assigned all of its rights and interest in an ice technology
license granted by Dartmouth College to Ice Engineering in exchange for a 2.8% royalty interest and
a cash reimbursement of $3,500,000. The suit was commenced after the company had been paid
approximately $800,000 in reimbursement monies.
On January 27, 2010, the company and Ice Engineering settled this litigation. Under the settlement
agreement, the companys assignment of the ice technology license is made permanent; the company

will receive annual royalties equal to 5% of annual gross revenues generated by the sale of HDPs
multifuel engines, including all sublicense of such technology. There are no minimum royalty

The company sold 6,834,002 restricted common shares to raise
approximately $2,050,000 of gross proceeds in a non-brokered private
placement of its common stock at $.30 per common share. The offering
commenced on October 4, 2010 and was completed on October 14, 2010.
The offering price was based upon the average
trading price for the companys common stock during the thirty trading
days immediately preceding the commencement of the private placement.
The company expects to use the offering proceeds over the next twelve
months to fund its operations, including programs designed to
commercialize the companys technologies. As a result of the private
placement, the company anticipates that it will significantly reduce
the shares that it will need to issue during the next twelve months
for services rendered by consultants and other independent contractors
as has been its past practice. The company issued its shares in the
private placement in reliance on an exemption from registration under
section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D
promulgated thereunder. These shares may not be offered or resold in

stock on the effective date. Upon his retirement as a member of the
companys board effective October 20, 2010, a director was granted
50,000 common stock options exercisable for ten years at an exercise
price of $1.07 per share, equal to the closing price of the companys
common stock on the effective date.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
|
Torvec, Inc. (the company) was incorporated as a New York State business corporation in September 1996. The
company, which has not had any significant revenue producing operations and is in the development stage, has
developed technology for use in automotive applications. In September 1996, the company acquired numerous
patents, inventions and know-how contributed by Vernon E. Gleasman, James Y. Gleasman and Keith E. Gleasman (the
Gleasmans). The company has developed, is refining and intends to commercialize its technologies, presently
focusing on its IsoTorque
®
differential and its hydraulic pump.

Results of Operations
|
|
|
|
The company did not generate revenue in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010. Revenue for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $0 and $175,000, respectively. The revenue
generated in 2009 was primarily due to the sale of a prototype Full Terrain Vehicle, which was a non- recurring
event. Gross profit for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $0 and $85,000,
respectively.
|
|
|
|
Research and development expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $133,000 as
compared to $189,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. Research and development expenses for
the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $301,000 as compared to $418,000 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2009. The decreases of $56,000 and $117,000 in the three and nine month comparatives,
respectively, are primarily due to lower personnel costs related to the retirement of Jim Gleasman in the first
quarter of 2010, as well as lower spending for supplies.
|
|
|
|
General and administrative expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $916,000
compared to $619,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. General and administrative expenses
for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $2,263,000 as compared to $2,103,000 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2009. The $297,000 increase in the third quarter comparative is mainly related
to non-cash stock compensation from stock option issuances to executives and higher legal costs. The $160,000
increase in the nine month comparative is mainly due to non-cash stock compensation costs, offset in part by
lower personnel costs related to the retirement of Jim Gleasman in the first quarter of 2010 (costs were
allocated between R&D and G&A) and decreased spending on consulting services.
|
|
|
|
The loss from operations was $1,049,000 and $808,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. The loss from operations for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was
$2,564,000 and $2,436,000, respectively. Other income/(expense) for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2010 was an expense of $31,000 and income of $1,898,000, respectively. The other expense in the
third quarter of 2010 primarily resulted from an accrual for a prepayment penalty on the companys convertible
note. Other income for the nine month period in 2010 was primarily due to the sale of the companys Ice
technology license to Ice Engineering LLC. There was $0 of other income for the comparative prior three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. We reported an income tax benefit of $151,000 in both of the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 compared with $0 for in the same periods in 2010. The income
tax benefit in 2009 resulted from New York State R&D tax credits. Preferred stock dividends amounted to $72,000
and $73,000 in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $156,000 and $234,000 for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
|
|
|
|
The net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 was
$1,152,000 as compared to a net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 of $730,000. The nine
month period result for 2010 was a net loss of $822,000 compared to a net loss of $2,519,000 for the same nine
month period in 2009. The weighted average basic common shares outstanding amounted to 37,576,000 and 34,524,000 for the
third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The weighted average basic common shares outstanding for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were 36,878,000 and 33,719,000, respectively. Basic net loss per share
for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $0.03 and $0.02, respectively. Basic net loss
per share for the nine month periods in 2010 and 2009 were $0.02 and $0.07, respectively.
|

(b)
|
|
Liquidity and Capital Resources
|
|
|
|
The companys business activities during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 were funded principally
through the receipt of $1,100,000 in settlement of litigation with Ice Engineering, LLC, the receipt of
approximately $103,000 representing New York State corporation income tax refundable credits, recognized in
prior years, allocable to certain research and development expenses incurred in the 2008 tax year, and the
receipt of approximately $127,000 from the sale of 404,167 restricted common shares to accredited investors.
|
|
|
|
For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, net cash used in operating activities was
$1,203,000 and $425,000, respectively. The increase of $778,000 was due primarily to an increased availability
of cash to pay consultants and service providers in 2010 compared with payments made through the issuance of
common shares in 2009.
|
|
|
|
For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, cash provided by investing activities amounted to
$1,124,000 and $0, respectively. This increase was due to the receipt of $1,100,000 pertaining to the settlement
of litigation with Ice Engineering, LLC.
|
|
|
|
For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, cash provided by financing activities amounted to
$155,000 and $203,000, respectively. This decrease was due primarily to lesser proceeds from common stock
issuances.
|
|
|
|
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the company issued 1,548,367 and 1,543,256 common
shares to business consultants under the Business Consultants Stock Plan in exchange for ongoing business
advisory services, engineering services, legal fees, including patent services, internal accounting services and
other corporate services. As of September 30, 2010, 4,950,472 shares are available for future issuances under
the Business Consultants Stock Plan.
|
|
|
|
For the period from September 1996 (inception) through September 30, 2010, the company has accumulated a deficit
of $53,879,000, and at September 30, 2010 has a working capital deficit of $717,000 and stockholders capital
deficit of $550,000. The company has been dependent upon equity financing and advances from stockholders to meet
its obligations and sustain operations. The companys efforts are principally devoted to the ongoing refining of
its technologies and commercializing its products. In
October 2010, the company raised approximately $2,050,000 in a private equity
offering through the issuance of 6,834,002 common shares at a price of $0.30 per share. Management believes that based upon its current cash position
and its projected cash flows from its business operations and access to capital markets, the company will be
able to meet its anticipated cash requirements through September 30, 2011. However, if adequate funds are not
available, the company may need to downsize operations, incur debt or raise additional capital. There can be no
assurance that the company will be successful in raising additional capital or incur debt when needed on terms
acceptable to the company.

|
Critical Accounting Policies
|
|
|
|
Revenue Recognition:
|
|
|
|
The companys terms provided that customers are obligated to pay for products sold to them within a specified
number of days from the date that title to the products is transferred to the customers. The companys standard
terms are typically net 30 days. The company recognizes revenue when transfer of title occurs and risk of
ownership passes to a customer at the time of shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the agreement with
a particular customer. The sale price of the companys products is substantially fixed and determinable at the
date of the sale based upon purchase orders generated by a customer and accepted by the company. To the extent
that collectability of the receivable is not assured, the company follows the cost recovery approach.
Accordingly, amounts collected will be accounted for as a reduction of costs.
|
22
|
|
Share-based Payments:
|
|
|
|
The company accounts for the settlement of its commission arrangements to non-employee consultants, directors,
executives and certain administrative personnel with the issuance of its business consulting shares under ASC
505 (Previously known as FASB Statement 123
®
Share Based Payment), provided that there are
sufficient shares available under the business consulting plan. Under ASC 505, the company measures commission
arrangements at the fair value of the equity instruments issued. In the event that there are insufficient shares
available to settle the obligation, the company will follow the provisions of ASC 815-40 (Previously known as:
EITF 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys
Own Stock). Under ASC 815-40, the company will record a liability instrument for the resulting changes in fair
value from the date due to the end of each reporting period until such liability is satisfied.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

See Note B [9] of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 herein for a
discussion of the impact of the recent accounting standards.

(d)
|
|
Impact of Inflation
|
|
|
|
Inflation has not significantly impacted the companys operations during the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2010.
|
|
(e)
|
|
Quarterly Fluctuations
|
|
|
|
As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, the company had not engaged in substantial revenue producing operations. Once
the company actually commences significant revenue producing operations, the companys operating results may
fluctuate significantly from period to period as a result of a variety of factors, including purchasing patterns
of consumers, the length of the companys sales cycle to key customers and distributors, the timing of the
introduction of new products and product enhancements by the company and its competitors, technological factors,
variations in sales by product and distribution channel, product returns, and competitive pricing. Consequently,
once the company actually commences significant revenue producing operations, the companys product revenues may
vary significantly by quarter and the companys operating results may experience significant fluctuations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief
Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation and the identification of the material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of September 30, 2010, that our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of such period, are
not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Other than the remediation
efforts described thereafter, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting during the third quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting. Below, we have described the material weaknesses that were identified for the year ended
December 31, 2009 and the current status of managements remediation efforts.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
23
Management has conducted, with the participation of our President and our interim Chief Financial
Officer, an assessment of the effectiveness, of our internal control over financial reporting as of
September 30, 2010. Managements assessment of internal control over financial reporting was
conducted using the criteria in
Internal Control over Financial Reporting Guidance for Smaller
Public Companies
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO).
Based on the evaluation, our management concluded that there are material weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified did not result in the
restatement of any previously reported financial statements nor does management believe that it had
any effect on the accuracy of the companys financial statements for the current reporting period.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control
over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis. We identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2009:
The material weaknesses relate to the a) preparation of the income tax disclosures and the related
components of our deferred tax assets, b) accounting for equity transactions and c) the preparation
of financial statements and footnotes and financial data provided to the companys registered
public accounting firm in connection with the annual audit. While we engage outside consultants to
assist us in preparing our tax provision and tax returns, our financial statements and related
disclosures, we did not have proper review controls to monitor outside consultants. We have not
implemented an effective review process for accounting for income taxes, which could lead to errors
in computation and disclosures. The company has not previously had sufficient technical expertise
in financial reporting to monitor work performed by outside consultants.
We have taken appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate the
material weaknesses. We intend to consider the results of our remediation efforts and related
testing as part of our fiscal 2010 assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are in the process of implementing remediation efforts with respect to the material weaknesses
noted above as follows:
|
a)
|
|
Income Tax Disclosures Management is in the process of working with
its external tax consultant to increase the amount of oversight in
regard to the tax disclosure and the related components. With the
October 2010 appointment of a CFO for the company, management believes
that this material weakness will be remediated for its year-end 2010
reporting.
|
|
|
b)
|
|
Accounting for Equity Transactions The internal control has been
modified so that price protection is no longer being provided to the
companys consultants. The Compensation and Governance Committee has
reviewed this policy and it is managements assessment that this
material weakness has been resolved.
|
|
|
c)
|
|
Preparation of the Financial Statements Management is in the process
of working with its consultant to increase the amount of oversight in
regard to financial statement preparation. The company has recently
appointed a CFO, with more than ten years of experience as a chief
financial officer for another public company, who will help to provide
added oversight and control in the financial statement preparation
process.
|
We believe the foregoing efforts will enable us to improve our internal control over financial
reporting. Management is committed to continuing efforts aimed at improving the design adequacy and
operational effectiveness of its system of internal controls. The remediation efforts noted above
will be subject to our internal control assessment, testing and evaluation process.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
On October 31, 2008, the company commenced an action in New York Supreme Court, County of New York,
Commercial Division against Ice Engineering, LLC seeking the total balance owed by Ice Engineering
to the company pursuant to an assignment agreement entered into by the parties, effective
June 15, 2007, whereby the company assigned all of its rights and interest in an ice technology
license granted by Dartmouth College to Ice Engineering in exchange for a 2.8% royalty interest and
a cash reimbursement of $3,500,000. The suit was commenced after the company had been paid
approximately $800,000 in reimbursement monies.
On January 27, 2010, the company and Ice Engineering settled this litigation. Under the settlement
agreement, the companys assignment of the ice technology license is made permanent; the company
elected to forego its right to royalties and will receive $1,100,000 in reimbursement monies, with
$300,000 being paid to the company by Ice Engineering on January 27, 2010 and $800,000 being paid
to the company by Ice Engineering by February 26, 2010. The company received the entire $1,100,000
due under the settlement agreement by the due dates specified in the settlement agreement.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
There have been no significant changes to the risk factors facing the company as disclosed in the
companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, the company sold 44,000 and
404,167 restricted common shares for proceeds of $17,800 and $127,850, respectively, in a private
placement.
The investors in each of these transactions are qualified accredited investors within the meaning
of regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and the company is therefore relying
on section 4(2) of said Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
See Note J [2] for a description of the companys private placement which commenced on October 4,
2010 and
was completed on October 14, 2010.
