MagneGas Corporation
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
September 30, 2013

1. Background Information
 
MagneGas Corporation (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Delaware on December 9, 2005. The Company was originally organized under the name 4307, Inc, for the purpose of locating and negotiating with a business entity for a combination. On April 2, 2007 all the issued and outstanding shares of 4307, Inc. were purchased and the Company name was changed to MagneGas Corporation.
 
We are an alternative energy company that creates a system that produces hydrogen based fuel through the gasification of liquid and liquid waste. We have developed a process which gasifies various types of liquid waste through a proprietary plasma arc system.. A byproduct of this process is an alternative to natural gas currently sold in the metalworking market as a cutting fuel. We produce gas bottled in cylinders for the purpose of distribution to the metalworking market as an alternative to acetylene.  Additionally, we market, for sale or licensure, our proprietary plasma arc technology for the processing of liquid waste (the “Plasma Arc Flow” or “Plasma Arc Flow System”). Through the course of our business development, we have established a retail and wholesale platform to sell our fuel for use in the metalworking and manufacturing industries. We have also established a network of brokers to sell our Plasma Arc Flow equipment internationally.
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The significant accounting policies followed are:
 
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required 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 balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the following notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the result of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012; (b) the financial position at September 30, 2013; and (c) cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, have been made.
  
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year classifications for comparability purposes.

Use of Estimates
 
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with 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 the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements presented include estimates for patent life, recoverability of deferred tax assets and collections on our receivables.  Our estimates include consideration of the useful lives of our intellectual property, allocations to research and development costs and recognition of deferred tax assets.
 
Variable Interest Entities
 
The Company considers the consolidation of entities to which the usual condition (ownership of a majority voting interest) of consolidation does not apply, focusing on controlling financial interests that may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interest.  If an enterprise holds a majority of the variable interests of an entity, it would be considered the primary beneficiary.  The primary beneficiary is generally required to consolidate assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests at fair value (or at historical cost if the entity is a related party) and subsequently account for the variable interest as if it were consolidated based on a majority voting interest. The Company has investments in joint ventures that are in development of the MagneGas technology, however the Company is not identified as a primary beneficiary; therefore no consolidation is required and the investments are listed at their cost.  
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced a framework for measuring fair value and expanded required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  The Company adopted the standard for those financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and the impact of adoption was not significant. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “   Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures   ” (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principle or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3
Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2013. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, inventory, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.  The Company applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Accounts Receivable, Credit
 
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due for the delivery of MagneGas sales to customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is considered to be established for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of the Company’s customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends.  Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary, based on considerations of limited credit history with our customers and in consideration of the economy.  Receivables are determined to be past due, based on payment terms of original invoices.  The Company does not typically charge interest on past due receivables.
 
Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue through two processes: (1) the sale of its MagneGas fuel for metal cutting and (2) the sale of its Plasma Arc Flow units.  Additionally the Company also recognizes revenue from territorial license arrangements.
 
Revenue for metal-working fuel is recognized when shipments are made to customers. The Company recognizes a sale when the product has been shipped and risk of loss has passed to the customer.
Revenue generated from sales of its production unit is recognized on a percentage of completion, based on the progress during manufacturing of the unit.  Our machine is a significant investment and generally requires a 6 to 9 month production cycle.  During the course of building a unit the actual costs are tracked to our cost estimates and revenue is proportionately recognized during the process.   Significant deposits are required before production.  These deposits are classified as customer deposits.  During our production, costs and progress earnings are accumulated and included in “Costs and earnings” as an asset.
Licenses are issued, per contractual agreement, for distribution rights within certain geographic territories.  The Company recognizes revenue ratably, based on the amounts paid or values received, over the term of the licensing agreement.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or market, which approximates actual cost. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.  Inventory is comprised of spare parts, consumables used in the production of gas, regulators and tips and accumulated costs incurred in the manufacturing process of units held for future sales.
 
Long-Lived Assets

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives (3-7 years).  Intellectual property assets are stated at their fair value acquisition cost. Amortization of intellectual property assets is calculated by the straight line method over their specific life (15 years).  Historical costs are reviewed and evaluated for their net realizable value of the assets.  The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment existed at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

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, the Company estimates 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 did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company issues restricted stock to consultants for various services and to Directors for their service on the Board of Directors. 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.   The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services  Stock compensation for the periods presented were issued to consultants for past services provided, accordingly, all shares issued are fully vested, and there is no unrecognized compensation associated with these transactions.
 
Shipping Costs
 
The Company includes shipping costs and freight-in costs in direct costs, for those expenses associated with revenue process. The Company has incurred shipping and delivery costs associated with establishing units at production sites as well as incurring costs in shipping samples, trade shows and other business related functions, which are charged as a selling or administrative expense.  Shipping costs were $25,028 and $37,302 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Advertising Costs
 
The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expenses are included in the Company’s operating expenses.   Advertising expense was $63,150 and $80,170 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Research and Development
 
The Company expenses research and development costs when incurred.  Research and development costs include engineering and laboratory testing of product and outputs.  Indirect costs related to research and developments are allocated based on percentage usage to the research and development.  Research and Development expense was $75,733 and $185,748 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purpose, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares.  In periods of net loss, stock equivalents are excluded, as those shares would be anti-dilutive. The Company has issued options to several investors, upon their purchase of shares.  Options, whose strike price is less than the current market value, are considered common stock equivalents and are included in dilutive earnings per share.
 
(a) On June 26, 2012, the Company effected a ten-for-one reverse split of common shares.  All share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the post-split shares

6. Investment in Joint Ventures
 
On June 25, 2010, the Company entered into agreement with a Belgian company, whereby 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and territorial license rights were exchanged for a 20% interest in MagneGas Europe.  The Company valued the investment in the Joint Venture at the fair market value of the shares issued ($23,750).   The Company does not have effective or beneficial control over the European entity and is to account for the investment under the Cost Method.

On June 28, 2010, the Company entered into agreement with DDI Industries, a Chinese company, in contemplation of the formation of MagneGas China.  The Company provided mechanical drawings (for complete construction), computer programs, license of patents (Greater China Region), trademarks, etc. of the Plasma Arc Flow Recyclers to the new entity in exchange for a $2 million investment in MagneGas Corporation (received as of September 30, 2010; subscription at a share price of $1.35 or 1,481,481 common shares and 20% share in MagneGas China.  The Company’s investment has been valued at $466,660, a mutually agreed amount for the technology license.  The MagneGas China entity has been funded in cash for an amount which reflects the intellectual property’s value. The Company does not have effective or beneficial control over the China entity so it will not for the investment under the Cost Method.

Our investments in joint ventures are considered as Level 3, as defined in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “  Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures  ” (ASC 820), and management considers alternative methods for valuing these investments to determine if there would be impairment to the current carrying value, currently our cost basis.   As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, management does not believe any impairment exists with regard to the investments in joint ventures.

8. Income Tax
 
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
 
The Company has not recognized a provision for income tax benefit during the periods presented, due to the net operating losses incurred.  The Company may recognize benefits in future periods when management believes that any benefit will be recognized.
 
Deferred Income Taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are the result of timing differences between book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, timing of income and expense recognition of certain items and net operating loss carry-forwards.

The Company assesses temporary differences resulting from different treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded in our balance sheets. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance on an ongoing basis. In evaluating its deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon generating sufficient future taxable income prior to the expiration of the tax attributes.  In assessing the need for a valuation allowance the Company must project future levels of taxable income. This assessment requires significant judgment. The Company examined the evidence related to a recent history of tax losses, the economic conditions in which it operates recent organizational changes, its forecasts and projections.  The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit.
 
The Company had not previously recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated since inception through December 31, 2009 based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods of which, at the time, the realization could not be considered more likely than not.  Based on events subsequent to the balance sheet date, management has re-assessed the valuation allowance and the recognition of its deferred tax losses, however, based on the Company’s history of losses and other negative evidence resulting in the allowance, no income tax benefit will be recognized for prior periods.  The tax benefit for the prior periods, in the amount of $348,800, arising from operating losses as a start-up company and other temporary differences, has been off-set by an equal valuation allowance.
 
The following is a schedule of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

For balance sheet presentation the Company nets its current deferred tax assets and liabilities and non-current deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
Management believes that the Company has matured and product acceptance will generate the revenues and achieve a level of profitability that would create taxable income of approximately $1.2 million, which would utilize the recognized deferred tax assets.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, these losses can be carried forward twenty years.  As of December 31, 2012 the Company has net operating loss carry forwards remaining from the following years:

Overview
 
We are an alternative energy company that creates a system that produces hydrogen based fuel through the gasification of liquid and liquid waste. We have developed a process which gasifies various types of liquid waste through a proprietary plasma arc system. A byproduct of this process, MagneGas™, is an alternative to natural gas currently sold in the metalworking market as a cutting fuel. We produce MagneGas™ bottled in cylinders for the purpose of distribution to the metalworking market as an alternative to acetylene. Additionally, we market, for sale or licensure, our proprietary plasma arc technology for the processing of liquid waste (the “Plasma Arc Flow” or “Plasma Arc Flow System”). Through the course of our business development, we have established a retail platform to sell our fuel for use in the metalworking and manufacturing industries.  We have also established a network of independent brokers and distributors to sell our equipment worldwide.  
 
MagneGas Corporation was organized in the state of Delaware on December 9, 2005. We were originally organized under the name 4307, Inc., for the purpose of locating and negotiating with a business entity for a combination. On April 2, 2007 all the issued and outstanding shares of 4307, Inc. were purchased by Clean Energies Tech Co., a private company owned by Dr. Ruggero Santilli, the inventor of the Plasma Arc Flow™ technology. Following this stock purchase, our name was changed to MagneGas Corporation.

Recent Developments

The Company has spent the last several months developing its strategy for increasing revenue and reducing costs.  To that end, it has identified three major market segments which it will pursue for generating revenue:
 
·
Industrial Gas Sales
·
Equipment Sales for Liquid Waste Processing
·
Use of MagneGasfor the Co-Combustion of Hydro-Carbon Fuels to Reduce Emissions
 
 
19

 
 
The Company has also embarked on an aggressive cost cutting strategy which includes the elimination of non-essential personnel, closing of locations that are not producing sufficient revenue to cover expenses and improving margins on both equipment and fuel sales. The Company has launched a new Research and Development initiative with the following focus:
 
·
High volume processing of oil
·
Smaller scale recyclers for testing and sale
·
Third party verification of fuel and equipment safety and performance results
 
To that end we have made the following progress:

Sales

Industrial Gas Sales

The Company has signed several new fuel distributors for the metal working market, including Accugas and GTW Welding in Michigan, AWISCO in New York, Lake Welding and CO2 gas in Florida and Welders Services Incorporated in Indiana.  It also continues to sell fuel through existing distributors in Michigan, Florida and Pennsylvania.  In addition, the Company is in various stages of negotiation with several other distributors and large end users in the Industrial Gas industry.

The Company has received approval by both the Clearwater Florida and New York City Fire Departments for the use of its fuel as a replacement for Acetylene in metal cutting for extractions and demolitions.  Both cities have placed their initial order for fuel and the Company has been in extensive training with fire fighters from both locations for its proper use. These relationships further validate the safety and effectiveness of the MagneGas fuel for metal cutting.

Equipment Sales

On August 23, 2013, we entered into a definitive agreement with a group from the Central Asian country of Kazakhstan to supply them with a mini-refinery for $500,000 which they plan to use to test various liquid wastes.  Based on the results of these tests, they anticipate purchasing an industrial size unit in 2014 or 2015.  In the agreement it was stipulated that they make down payments as construction progresses.  Completion and shipment is scheduled for February 23, 2014 at which time the final payment will be submitted to MagneGas and the revenue will be recognized. As of November 1, 2013 they have paid $276,000.

On August 19, 2013, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with “EAWC Technologies” of Florida and “Swiss Water Tech” of Switzerland to promote the sale of the MagneGas refineries through their network of clean energy and clean water distribution platforms.  EAWC Technologies has entered into an agreement with “Nuova Magnegas Italia” (an unrelated Magnegas distributor) to place a small refinery owned by Nuova MagneGas Italia on site in Switzerland to act as a demonstration center to sell MagneGas refineries worldwide, sourced from MagneGas Corporation in the United States.

The Company has appointed independent brokers from several areas of the world for equipment sales and is in various stages of negotiation with groups from South Korea, Australia, Brazil, Costa Rica and Europe for the sale of equipment.  The Company has also produced new brochures and updated its website to target these types of sales.
 
On March 20, 2013, we entered into definitive agreements with Clear Sky Energy S.A. de C.V. (“CSE”) to which CSE will purchase a Plasma Arc Flow™ refinery. The $765,000 progress payment under this agreement has been extended to November 20, 2014 as the business needs and objectives of the customer have changed and the next steps of the agreement are under negotiation. These negotiations will still include certain exclusive distribution rights for Mexico as further outlined in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The Company can make no assurances as to the outcome of these negotiations or receipt of progress payments.

MagneGas for the Co-Combustion of Hydro-Carbon Fuels to Reduce Emissions

On October 8, 2013, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a confidential group from the United States to enter into a joint venture arrangement for the testing, development and pursuit of the Co-Combustion of MagneGas with Coal Fired Power Plants to reduce the stack emissions and increase heat extraction (the “Joint Venture”). This Joint Venture included a $100,000 deposit which has been paid to the Company. The Joint Venture includes the creation of a New Company which will hold the exclusive rights for this market for the United States and Canada.  A major research center in the United States associated with a power company is currently conducting third party testing and validation. The Company has completed internal testing both in the United States and Australia and has demonstrated reduced hydrocarbon emission and increased heat with the Co-Combustion of Coal and MagneGas.  Once third party testing is complete, the Company will work through the new Joint Venture to sell equipment, fuel and byproducts to end user coal power plants in this market.

Research and Development

The Company held a world summit in August at its headquarters in Tarpon Springs, Florida.  MagneGas partners from around the world including Australia, Europe, China and the United States attended to share and collaborate on a variety of strategic technical advancements made by the partners for the MagneGas systems and fuels.  MagneGas Italy presented their results on the sterilization of water based waste, MagneGas Australia presented their results on the Co-Combustion of MagneGas with Hydro-Carbon fuels and MagneGas China presented their advancements for the processing of sludge.  Since that time, the Company has continued to collaborate closely with its partners to further the equipment and fuel sales through advanced research and development.

High Volume Processing of Oil

The Company has historically processed oil through the addition of water or other dilution, which limits the volume of oil processed and decreases the flame temperature.  There are several customers that have requested larger volume processing of oil based waste.  The Company has spent considerable effort to achieve lower dilution levels and higher volume processing and has made significant progress to date.  It anticipates the oil processing system will be done by the end of December 2013, with a corresponding hotter fuel which will be introduced to the market in late 2013 or early 2014.

Smaller Scale Recycler

The MagneGas Research and Development team has focused on developing smaller units with less expensive and faster turnaround times allowing the rapid testing of a variety of liquids.  The Company has created a new 20kW micro-unit for the testing of various liquid waste. This unit expedites the testing process for customers and includes a new venturi design which is expected to be the next generation of MagneGas refineries.  The creation of this new unit has substantially increased the speed and efficiency of the testing process for new customers.  A new provisional patent application has been filed on this design.

Third Party Validation of Fuel and Equipment
 
·
The Company received independent test results from a laboratory in Europe that demonstrated that sewage, swine blood and leachates, when passed through the MagneGas system, results in full sterilization of bio-contaminates suspended in the liquid.
·
MagneGas Australia (an unrelated MagneGas distributor) completed testing of MagneGas combusted with coal and found that the emissions from the coal were reduced by up to 50% and the heat output was increased.
·
An independent laboratory in the United States provided certified that cutting metal with MagneGas does not impact the metal or impede the strength of the weld.
·
An independent laboratory in the United States provided certified results that MagneGas made from a proprietary blend of liquid does not contain Carbon Monoxide.

Our Industry

Metalworking

We produce fuel for the metalworking fuel market. This market is currently dominated by acetylene. Acetylene is a gas that is considered toxic, unstable, emits soot when it burns and can be volatile. In recent years, several acetylene production plants have exploded, causing a shortage of acetylene and raising prices. MagneGas on the other hand, emits oxygen when it burns and independent users have rated MagneGas as a cleaner alternative to acetylene.

Liquid Waste Processing

Water-based liquid waste such as sewage, sludge and manures, are traditionally sterilized through the use of anaerobic digestion systems or the addition of chemical sterilization agents.  Independent chemical analysis shows that the Company’s patented Plasma Arc Flow System sterilizes water based waste, without the use of chemical additives or anaerobic digestion, while producing a fuel for use as a natural gas alternative.  The byproduct of this process is to produce a sterilized liquid that is under development for use as a liquid fertilizer.

Our Products
 
We currently have two products: the fuel called MagneGas and the machines that produce that gas known as, Plasma Arc Flow refineries.
 
Fuel
 
In the United States, we currently produce MagneGas™, which is comprised primarily of hydrogen. The fuel can be used as an alternative to natural gas to power industrial equipment, automobiles and for metal cutting.  The fuel is stored in hydrogen cylinders which are then sold to market on a rotating basis.  We believe we can sell the cylinders at a 20% to 30% lower price than acetylene and with a lower cost feedstock, we believe that as we develop less expensive feedstock, we can also compete on price against all other cutting gases such as propane. The Company is focusing its efforts on replacing acetylene until a lower priced feedstock can be located to compete against propane.
 
Equipment
 
The Plasma Arc Flow System can gasify many forms of liquid waste such as ethylene glycol and sterilize sewage and sludge. Plasma Arc Flow refineries have been configured in various sizes ranging from 50kw to 500kw depending on the application. Plasma Arc Flow refineries range in price from $500,000 to $5 Million. A 200Kw refinery was sold in 2010 to a customer in China for $1.855 Million. We have signed an agreement with a customer in Mexico in March 2013 to sell a 300kw refinery for $2.7 million and signed an agreement on August 23, 2013 with a group from Central Asia for $500,000

Manufacturing
 
Equipment

MagneGas systems are produced by us at our facility in Tarpon Springs, Florida. The proprietary components of the system are manufactured on location, while commercially available components such as generators and compressors are purchased from existing suppliers and assembled in Tarpon Springs.  A new facility was purchased in 2012, located in Tarpon Springs, which will allow the production of up to 30 systems at any one time to allow for rapid growth of the Company.

Fuel

MagneGas™ is currently produced in Florida and Michigan.  The fuel is compressed into standard industrial gas cylinders and delivered directly to local retail customers and distributors. We have developed a plan to significantly expand and diversify MagneGas™ fuel sales through the use of small, independently owned regional distributors, located within the vicinity of our existing refineries
 
Current MagneGas production is temporarily from a feedstock of virgin ethylene glycol (anti-freeze). We are currently working to enhance our ability to process and compress fuels produced from waste oils on a high volume basis.  Jointly, our plan includes provisions to secure the feedstock supplies, relationships and logistical abilities to process post-consumer waste oils such as used motor oils and/or anti-freeze. We estimate that the cost of using post-consumer waste steam feedstock, including related costs such as permitting and waste disposal, will be least 50% lower than the cost of virgin feedstock furthering MagneGas’s advantage over acetylene and allowing us to effectively compete in the propane market.

To reduce expenses, MagneGas has closed the facilities in Flint, Michigan and Cocoa Beach, Florida as neither facility was generating sufficient revenue to cover expenses. The Company is continuing full operations in Chesterfield, Michigan and Tarpon Springs, Florida.
 
Customers
 
We distribute products through several industrial gas companies in Michigan, Florida, New York, Indiana and Pennsylvania. In addition, we have direct retail customers in both Michigan and Florida.  In order to become a full service supplier of metal cutting fuel and hard goods, we have entered into an agreement with Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc. to purchase oxygen, argon, nitrogen and other gases at wholesale prices.  In addition, we have now started distributing hard goods such as tips, torches, and regulators through Nasco, Inc. a national company that distributes welding supplies.
 
Strategic Relationships
 
We recently entered into commercial testing and discussion with a select group of leading U.S. strategic industrial companies and military contractors which, after conducting preliminary reviews of MagneGas, are now seeking further testing or have agreed to purchase MagneGas.  These types of relationships inherently have a long sales cycle and have been under development for several years.
 
Navy
 
The U. S. Navy has been working with us to explore both the use of MagneGas for metal working and the use of the Plasma Arc Flow system for liquid waste processing. The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences, a testing contractor for the U.S. Navy, completed testing of MagneGas as an environmentally-friendly alternative for major metal cutting projects, particularly to reduce emissions during the breakup and recycling of retiring vessels. The final written report compared seven methods and gases for metal cutting to find the lowest opacity and showed MagneGas as one of the only two methods with positive results.  The Company has developed a gas without Carbon Monoxide to meet the Navy standards for this project.  On November 1, 2013 the Navy accepted the specifications of this gas and has requested onsite testing which is anticipated to occur in the coming months, procurement of the initial test fuel is expected to occur in November of 2013.
 
 
22

 
 
General Motors
 
In 2012, General Motors announced that it had completed preliminary testing of MagneGas as an alternative to Acetylene and agreed to complete user testing at two facilities.  Since then, we have also been working with General Motors to test various liquid wastes such as paint sludge and waste oils for processing and conversion to MagneGas to fuel several possible internal projects such as forklift truck operation, electricity generation and the heating /cooling of General Motors’ large facilities. Testing of those liquids is continuing in cooperation with General Motors. Since the Company has supplied fuel for a vendor of General Motors for a large demolition project, but is still exploring the use of the MagneGas fuel in General Motors manufacturing facilities.

Operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $1,559,799 and $2,166,514, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 we recognized a non-cash charge of $394,727 in stock based compensation, compared to $672,099 in the comparable three months ended September 30, 2012.  Other non-cash operating expenses were due to depreciation and amortization charges of $113,390 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to $108,822 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
 
In the current quarter, as in prior quarters, we used common stock as a method of payment for certain services, primarily the advertising and promotion of the technology to increase investor awareness and as incentive to its key employees and consultants.   We expect to continue these arrangements, though due to a stronger operating position, this method of payment may become limited to employees.
 
Net Loss
 
Our operating results have recognized losses in the amount of $4,487,390 and $4,959,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The decrease in the losses was attributable to stock based compensation as well as decreases in general and administrative expenses through better utilization of funds and implementing tighter controls and policies focusing on priorities to develop new strategies and approaches to the market.
 
Our operating results have recognized losses in the amount of $1,473,416 and $2,098,385 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The reduction in the losses was largely attributable to stock based compensation and our new market driven approach to focus on developing the most promising prospects.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Completion of our plan of operations is subject to attaining adequate and continued revenue. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated and without the immediate sale of equipment or units, our plan is to complete a capital raise in the near term.  This capital raise will be necessary to continue operations while we grow our recurring revenue base through metal cutting fuel sales.  We are also actively seeking the sale of equipment to supplement our cash position. Concurrently, we are reducing our operational expenses to allow time for the recurring revenue to grow to an adequate level to cover operational expenses. This capital raise will be necessary to complete our long term strategic plan.
 
As reflected in the unaudited financial statements we currently have an accumulated a deficit of approximately $17 million dollars.  Our cash flow from operations for the nine month period ending September 30, 2013 used approximately $3.1 million of cash.  Cash was used primarily to fund ongoing operations.  
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company.  Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our significant accounting policies are presented in our notes to financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2013 and fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, which are contained in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The significant accounting policies that are most critical and aid in fully understanding and evaluating the reported financial results include the following:
 
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with 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; 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, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

We generate revenue through three processes: (a) our sale of our MagneGas fuel for metal cutting; (b) sale of its Plasma Arc Flow units; and (c) licensing.
 
Revenue for metal-working fuel is recognized when shipments are made to customers. We recognize a sale when the product has been shipped and risk of loss has passed to the customer.
Revenue generated from sales of its production unit is recognized on a percentage of completion, based on the progress during manufacturing of the unit.  Our machine is a significant investment and generally requires a 6 to 9 month production cycle.  During the course of building a unit the actual costs are tracked to our cost estimates and revenue is proportionately recognized during the process. Significant deposits are required before production.  These deposits are classified as customer deposits.  During our production, costs and progress earnings are accumulated and included in “Costs and earnings” as an asset.
Licenses are issued, per contractual agreement, for distribution rights within certain geographic territories.  We recognize revenue ratably, based on the amounts paid or values received, over the term of the licensing agreement.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Item 3. 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
 
Item 4. 
Controls and Procedures.
 
Disclosure of Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about 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. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 
25

 
 
As required by the SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. 
Legal Proceedings.
 
We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
 
Item 1A. 
Risk Factors.
 
Other than the Risk Factors below, there have been no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2012 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.
 
Our future success is dependent, in part, on the performance and continued service of Ermanno Santilli, Bryan George, and other key personnel. Without their continued service, we may be forced to interrupt our operations.
 
We are presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of Ermanno Santilli, our President and CEO and Bryan George, our Senior Vice President of Industrial Gas Sales. Ermanno has several years of experience regarding the technical operation and deployment of our refineries and Bryan George has over 20 years of experience in the industrial gas market. The loss of any of their services would delay our business operations substantially.
 
Certain members of our board of directors, their affiliates and our executive officers, as stockholders, control our company.
 
Our largest stockholders together with the other members of our board of directors and our executive officers, as stockholders, collectively beneficially own approximately 34.3% of our outstanding common stock. As a result of this ownership, they have the ability to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by stockholders of our company, including the election of directors. In particular, Dr. Santilli, the former Chairman of our board of directors, beneficially owns 32.1% of our outstanding common stock. In addition to ownership of our common stock, Dr. Santilli and his spouse Carla Santilli, together with their children, Ermanno Santilli, our Chief Executive Officer, and Luisa Ingargiola, our Chief Financial Officer (the “Santilli Family”), beneficially own 100% of our outstanding 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which entitles the Santilli Family to voting rights in the aggregate of 100,000,000,000 votes.  As a result, the Santilli Family has the ability to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by stockholders of our company. This concentration of ownership also may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company that may be favored by other stockholders. This could prevent transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over current market prices.
 
Item 2. 
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
 
On September 27, 2013, the company settled a dispute with GreenPlanet Aid C.V. of Mexico (GreenPlanet)  to which GreenPlanet was requesting a refund of a non-refundable deposit and as settlement of  this dispute the Company offered 93,750 shares of common stock. This resulted in a $43,750 gain which is recognized as Other Income.  This is an unrelated entity to Clear Sky Energy S.A. de C.V. of Mexico, who has a current active contract with the Company.
 
On September 27, 2013, the company issued 31,250 shares of Common Stock to Benewatt Holdings, Inc. as payment for consulting services rendered.
 
The above shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, , manner of the issuance and number of shares issued. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.
