Nature Of Business and Going Concern [Abstract]	'
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN	'
	NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
	Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company” or “ESW”) through its wholly-owned subsidiaries is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and sales of emissions control technologies. ESW also provides emissions testing and environmental certification services with its primary focus on the North American on-road and off-road diesel engine, chassis and after-treatment market. ESW currently manufactures and markets a line of catalytic emission control and enabling technologies for a number of applications focused on the medium and heavy duty diesel (“MHDD”) retrofit market.
	The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has sustained recurring operating losses. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $55,363,600 and has cash and cash equivalents of $2,782,759. The Company during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 generated Income from Operations of $952,394; however, ESW’s history of losses and the current prevailing economic conditions create uncertainty in the operating results and, accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations or achieving profitability in the near future. As a result, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may require additional financing to fund its continuing operations and planned capital investments. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on achieving and maintaining a profitable level of operations.
	Effective March 22, 2013, the Company entered into a note subscription agreement, a security agreement and issued senior secured five (5) year convertible promissory notes (collectively the “Notes”) to certain shareholders (the “Senior Secured Lenders”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreements, the Senior Secured Lenders made initial loans to the Company in the principal aggregate amount of $1.4 million on March 22, 2013 (Note 10).
	On April 23, 2013 and June 27, 2013, the Company issued additional Notes in the aggregate principal amount $3,600,000 to the Senior Secured Lenders, which represented the last drawdown of the $5 million loan facility (Note 10).  The additional Notes were issued on terms substantially similar to the terms set forth in the Notes previously issued on March 22, 2013. Proceeds from the additional Notes are being used by the Company and its subsidiaries to fund the acquisition of assets from Cleaire Advanced Emission Controls, LLC (“Cleaire”) (Note 3), working capital, planned capital investments and other general corporate purposes.
	The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with those annual financial statements filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
	The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ESW America Inc. (“ESWA”), ESW Technologies Inc. (“ESWT”), ESW Canada Inc. (“ESWC”), ESW CleanTech Inc. (“ESWCT”) and Technology Fabricators Inc. (“TFI”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. Amounts in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.
	On April 18, 2013, ESW formed ESWCT, a wholly owned subsidiary. ESWCT, a Delaware corporation, is the entity that houses ESW’s San Diego manufacturing operations. ESWCT is located 7706 Trade Street, San Diego, CA, 92121.
	REVERSE STOCK-SPLIT
	On May 24, 2013, ESW affected a one-for-two thousand reverse stock split of its common stock. As a result all outstanding common stock, and per share amounts contained in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock-split for all periods presented. No fractional shares were issued resulting in a decrease to the outstanding shares on a post-split basis. In lieu of fractional shares, holders were paid cash equal to the number of shares of common stock held by any such holder immediately prior to the reverse stock split that were not combined into whole shares, multiplied by the fair market value of one pre-reverse stock split share.  In lieu of issuing fractional shares, the Company paid holders cash in aggregate of $51,516 (Note 13).
	ESTIMATES
	The preparation of unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for inventory valuation, elements of an asset acquisition as of the date of acquisition, impairment of and useful lives of property plant and equipment, and the valuation of the stock-based compensation, conversion option derivative liability and warranty provisions.
	ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
	The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded based on management’s assessment of the credit history with the customer and the current relationships with them. On this basis management has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $221,212 was appropriate as of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
	INVENTORY
	Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory is periodically reviewed for use and obsolescence, and adjusted as necessary. Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and parts.
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION
	The Company capitalizes customized equipment built to be used in the future day to day operations at cost. Once complete and available for use, the cost for accounting purposes is transferred to property, plant and equipment, where normal depreciation rates apply.
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
	Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
	IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
	The Company follows the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying amounts may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, if future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) from the use and ultimate disposition of the assets are less than their carrying values, an impairment loss represented by the difference between its fair value and carrying value, is recognized. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. Management reviewed certain assets for impairment in the first quarter of 2012 (see Note 7 for details).
	PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
	Patents and trademarks are measured at the cost incurred to acquire them from an independent third party (see Note 3). Topic 350-20, Goodwill, and 350-30, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires intangible assets with a finite life be tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated discounted cash flow used in determining the fair value of the asset. Future impairment tests for patents and trademarks will be performed annually in the fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner if warranted.
	Patents and trademarks were acquired as part of the Cleaire asset acquisition (Note 3) and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. For the period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, patents and trademarks amount to $39,900 and $0 respectively. Amortization expense was $2,100 for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2013 (September 30, 2012 - $0).
	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Included in the ASC Topic 820 framework is a three level valuation inputs hierarchy with Level 1 being inputs and transactions that can be effectively fully observed by market participants spanning to Level 3 where estimates are unobservable by market participants outside of the Company and must be estimated using assumptions developed by the Company. The Company discloses the lowest level input significant to each category of asset or liability valued within the scope of ASC Topic 820 and the valuation method as exchange, income or use. The Company uses inputs which are as observable as possible and the methods most applicable to the specific situation of each company or valued item.
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. Per ASC Topic 820 framework these are considered Level 2 inputs where inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	Our conversion option derivative liability, which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis, is measured using Level 3 inputs.
	Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. The promissory notes payable and loan payable both have fixed interest rates therefore the Company is exposed to interest rate risk in that they could not benefit from a decrease in market interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the Company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities.
	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
	The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants to employees and non-employees in connection with consulting or other services. These options or warrants may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
	Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received an immediate charge to income is recognized in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.
	The discount from the face value of the convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated rate of interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.
	The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
	REVENUE RECOGNITION
	The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of its catalytic products. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the amount is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
	The Company also derives revenue (approximately 4.8% and 7.9% of total revenue during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively) from providing air testing and environmental certification services. Revenues are recognized upon delivery of testing services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
	LOSS/EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
	Loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.
	Basic and diluted earnings per share have been determined by dividing the consolidated net earnings available to shareholders for the applicable period by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, respectively. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is calculated as if all dilutive options and restricted stock grants had been exercised or vested at the later of the beginning of the reporting period or date of grant, using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of convertible notes has been reflected in diluted weighted average number of shares using the if-converted method.
	INCOME TAXES
	Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, which requires, among other things, a liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on ESW’s income tax provision and results of operations.
	SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
	The Company’s shipping and handling costs of $97,301 and $74,145 are included in cost of revenues for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 shipping and handling costs amounted to $49,024 and $27,084, respectively. Additionally, the Company has recorded recoveries of these costs amounting to $69,709 and $59,324, which are included in revenues for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 shipping and handling revenues amounted to, $29,332 and $23,327, respectively.
	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
	The Company is engaged in research and development work. Research and development costs are charged as operating expense of the Company as incurred. Any grant money received for research and development work is used to offset these expenditures. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company expensed $455,235 and $ 477,582, net of grant revenues, respectively, towards research and development costs. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company expensed $214,624 and $163,264, net of grant revenues, respectively, towards research and development costs. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, gross research and development expense, excluding any offsetting grant revenues, amounted to $496,181 and $ 477,582, respectively, and grant revenues amounted to $40,946 and $0, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, grant revenues amounted to $0.
	FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

	PRODUCT WARRANTIES
	The Company provides for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale and accrues for specific items at the time their existence is known and the amounts are determinable. The Company estimates warranty costs using standard quantitative measures based on industry warranty claim experience and evaluation of specific customer warranty issues. The Company currently estimates warranty costs as 2% of revenue for on-road products and, effective July 1, 2013, the Company revised its warranty accrual for off-road products to 4% of revenue from the prior warranty accrual estimate of 2% of revenue. ESW has estimated a one-time charge of $1,000,000 related to its assumption of warranties for legacy Cleaire products in the field. ESW has also estimated a one-time warranty charge of $504,900 associated with certain verification procedures relating to the ThermaCat. The actual amount of loss associated with such assumption of warranties and/or verification procedures, however, could be materially different. Both of these warranty charges are based on the estimated number of operational units, average remaining warranty life and cost of warrantable failure. These amounts, as well as the on-road and off-road provision have been included in the warranty provision of $1,717,019 as of September 30, 2013.
	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $1,717,019 and $143,564, respectively, were accrued as warranty provisions on the balance sheet. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the total warranty, service, service travel and installation costs included in cost of revenue were $1,687,128 and $216,745, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the total warranty, service, service travel and installation costs included in cost of revenue were $105,294 and $74,311 respectively.

ASSET ACQUISITION	'
	NOTE 3 – ASSET ACQUISITION
	On April 18, 2013, ESW through a new wholly owned subsidiary ESWCT, completed the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated April 1, 2013 with David P. Stapleton (the “Receiver”), as the receiver for Cleaire, a Delaware limited liability company.  Prior to shutdown of its operations in January 2013, Cleaire was engaged in the design, development and manufacturing of retrofit emission control systems for diesel engines. Subject to the terms and conditions of the asset purchase agreement, the Company was selected as (and agreed to act as) the “stalking horse bidder” to buy certain of Cleaire’s assets for a purchase price of $1.4 million plus a portion of gross profit realized on a certain purchase order. The purchased assets included inventory, machinery and equipment and patents and trademarks.
	Upon the completion of the Asset Purchase Agreement and in accordance with FASB ASC 805 Business Combinations, the Company determined that the above noted Asset Purchase Agreement transaction does not constitute a business combination, and accordingly has accounted for it as an asset acquisition. The total consideration paid was $1.4 million in cash, plus a portion of gross profit realized on a certain purchase order.
	The purchase price allocation is allocated based on the relative fair value of the assets acquired at the asset acquisition date:
	Assets acquired		18-Apr-13
	Inventory	$	1,260,000
	Machinery and equipment		98,000

	On March 22, 2013, the Company entered into a note subscription agreement, a security agreement (the “Agreements”) and issued senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to four accredited investors who are currently shareholders (the “Holders”) and may be deemed affiliates of the Company (Note 15). Pursuant to the Agreements and Notes, the Holders made initial loans of $1,400,000 to the Company.
	On April 23, 2013 and June 27, 2013, the Company issued additional Notes in the principal amount of $1,600,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, to the Senior Secured Lenders. The Notes are due on March 22, 2018. The Notes are a part of a senior secured convertible loan facility of up to $5,000,000 which is now fully drawn down.
	The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum compounded quarterly. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears in cash and at the Company’s election, during the term of the Notes, up to two accrued and unpaid semi-annual interest payments can be payable in the Company’s common stock valued at the lesser of $80 per share, subject to adjustment (“Conversion Price”), or the market value of the Company’s common stock, with interest payments commencing September 30, 2013.
	At the option of the Holders, all principal, and interest amounts outstanding under all of the Notes may be exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is subject to anti-dilution adjustment in the event the Company at any time, while the Notes are outstanding, issues equity securities including common stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock for no consideration or for consideration less than $80 per share. The anti-dilution protection excludes shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options or other securities granted to directors, officers, bona fide consultants and employees of the Company issued pursuant to a board approved option or incentive plan or stock, warrants or other securities issued to a bank or other financial institution.
	The Notes are secured by a lien on and a security interest in all assets of the following wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company: TFI, ESWCT, ESWA and ESWT, excluding certain collateral subject to pre-existing liens.
	The Company further agreed to conduct a rights offering to all of its holders of common stock, offering the right to purchase up to their pro-rata Company ownership amount of senior secured convertible promissory notes.
	On March 22, 2013, April 23, 2013 and June 27, 2013, the Company recorded a discount on the Notes equal to the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability. This discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method at an interest rate of 9.6%, 17.3% and 38.3% for the March 22, April 23 and June 27 Notes, respectively, over the term of the Notes.

CONVERSION OPTION DERIVATIVE LIABILITY	'
	NOTE 11 – CONVERSION OPTION DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
	The Company’s Notes are subject to anti-dilution adjustments that allow for the reduction in the Conversion Price in the event the Company subsequently issues equity securities including common stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock for no consideration or for consideration less than $80 per share. Simultaneously with any reduction to the Conversion Price, the number of shares of common stock that may be converted increases proportionately. The Company accounted for the conversion option in accordance with ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, the conversion option is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and, as such, recorded as a liability.
	The Company’s conversion option derivative liability for the $1.4 million Notes was measured at fair value at March 22, 2013 and subsequently at September 30, 2013 using a binomial model. The Company’s conversion option derivative liability for the $1.6 million Notes was measured at fair value at April 23, 2013 and September 30, 2013 using a binomial model. The Company’s conversion option derivative liability for the $2 million Notes was measured at fair value at June 27, 2013 and September 30, 2013 using a binomial model.
	Since the Conversion Price contains an anti-dilution adjustment, the probability that the Conversion Price of the Notes would decrease as the share price decreased was incorporated into the valuation calculation.
	The inputs into the binomial model are as follows:
		22-Mar-13	23-Apr-13	27-Jun-13	30-Sep-13
	Closing share price	$40	$54	$80	$25

	Dividend yield	0%	0%	0%	0%
	Expected life	5 years	4.92 years	4.75 years	4.50 years
	The fair value of the conversion option derivative liability was $1,125,775 at September 30, 2013 and $0 at December 31, 2012. The change in the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability of $1,953,328 was recorded as a gain in the unaudited consolidated condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The change in the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability of $2,991,651 was recorded as a gain in the unaudited consolidated condensed statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

INCOME TAXES	'
	NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES
	The Company calculates its income tax expense by estimating the annual effective tax rate and applying that rate to the year-to-date ordinary income at the end of the period. The Company records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not be able to recover the value of its deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company calculated its estimated annualized effective tax rate at 0%, for both the United States and Canada. The Company had no income tax expense on its $853,222 pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recognized no income tax expense based on its $802,494 pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
	The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest accrued on uncertain tax positions as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within interest expense. The Company recognizes penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.
	The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. In many cases the Company's uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by tax authorities. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of September 30, 2013:
	United States – Federal	2009 – present

	Effective November 24, 2004, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ESWA, entered into a lease agreement for approximately 40,220 square feet of leasehold space at 200 Progress Drive, Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania. The leasehold space houses the Company’s emissions testing facilities and ESW’s manufacturing operations. The lease commenced on January 15, 2005. Effective October 16, 2009, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary ESWA entered into a lease renewal agreement with Nappen & Associates for the leasehold property in Pennsylvania. There were no modifications to the original economic terms of the lease under the lease renewal agreement. Under the terms of the lease renewal, the lease term was extended to February 28, 2013. Effective September 24, 2012, ESWA entered into a second lease amendment agreement with Nappen & Associates for the leasehold property in Pennsylvania, whereby ESWA extended the term of the lease agreement by an additional 5 years. There were no modifications to the original economic terms of the lease. Under the terms of the second lease renewal, the lease will expire on February 28, 2018.
	On June 7, 2013, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ESWCT, entered into a commercial real estate lease with Trepte Industrial Park, Ltd., a California limited partnership.  ESWCT leased approximately 18,000 square feet of commercial property located in San Diego, California, to be used primarily for housing ESWCT’s manufacturing and diesel particulate filter cleaning operations. The Lease provides for a 37-month lease term (commencing July 1, 2013), with an option exercisable by ESWCT to extend the lease term for two additional 36-month periods. The current base rent under the Lease is $15,300 per month. Concurrently with the signing of the Lease and pursuant to the terms thereof, ESWCT paid to the Lessor an amount equal to $155,600, which amount reflects the first month’s base rent, the security deposit, the funding required for improvements done by the Lessor at ESWCT’s request, and pre-paid rent. The amount will be credited against monthly base rent payable by ESWCT beginning in January 2014 and each month thereafter, provided that ESWCT shall not have defaulted under the Lease.

	LEGAL MATTERS
	From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, collections claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, ESW believes that the resolution of current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on ESW because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
	·        The Company is pursuing a lawsuit in New York for collection of unpaid invoices related to goods delivered to a former distributor.
	·        The Company was notified of a revised claim filed in the Ontario, Canada Superior Court of Justice on a dispute with a past vendor of ESW Canada; this claim had previously been deemed settled, due to inaction by the vendor. The revised claim is pending. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time.
	·        The Company is defending a claim brought against Cleaire by HNT Technology, Inc. (“HNT”), a former vender of Cleaire, on August 20, 2013 in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California, San Jose Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”), in which HNT named ESW and ESWCT as co-defendants with Cleaire, alleging that ESWCT is the successor in interest to Cleaire. The complaint alleged that Cleaire had breached an agreement to purchase certain products from HNT.  ESW has entered into an Agreement to Purchase Inventory and Equipment and Settle Litigation (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the trustee (the “Trustee”) of HNT, pursuant to which ESW will purchase the inventory to which the claim relates.  Under the Settlement Agreement, which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on October 31, 2013, the complaint by HNT will be dismissed and ESW and ESWCT will be released of all claims following ESW’s payment of the purchase price of $30,000 under the Settlement Agreement to the Trustee.  ESW expects to make the purchase price payment to the Trustee on or before November 30, 2013.
	WARRANTY PROVISIONS
	The Company is also exposed to warranty contingencies associated with certain verification procedures relating to the ThermaCat and to the assumption of warranties for legacy Cleaire products in the field. The Company has recorded a provision for these as disclosed in Note 2 to our quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2013; however, the actual amount of loss could be materially different.

REVERSE STOCK-SPLIT	'
	REVERSE STOCK-SPLIT
	On May 24, 2013, ESW affected a one-for-two thousand reverse stock split of its common stock. As a result all outstanding common stock, and per share amounts contained in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock-split for all periods presented. No fractional shares were issued resulting in a decrease to the outstanding shares on a post-split basis. In lieu of fractional shares, holders were paid cash equal to the number of shares of common stock held by any such holder immediately prior to the reverse stock split that were not combined into whole shares, multiplied by the fair market value of one pre-reverse stock split share.  In lieu of issuing fractional shares, the Company paid holders cash in aggregate of $51,516 (Note 13).
ESTIMATES	'
	ESTIMATES
	The preparation of unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for inventory valuation, elements of an asset acquisition as of the date of acquisition, impairment of and useful lives of property plant and equipment, and the valuation of the stock-based compensation, conversion option derivative liability and warranty provisions.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS	'
	ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded based on management’s assessment of the credit history with the customer and the current relationships with them. On this basis management has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $221,212 was appropriate as of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
INVENTORY	'
	INVENTORY
	Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory is periodically reviewed for use and obsolescence, and adjusted as necessary. Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and parts.

	The Company follows the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying amounts may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, if future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) from the use and ultimate disposition of the assets are less than their carrying values, an impairment loss represented by the difference between its fair value and carrying value, is recognized. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. Management reviewed certain assets for impairment in the first quarter of 2012 (see Note 7 for details).
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS	'
	PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
	Patents and trademarks are measured at the cost incurred to acquire them from an independent third party (see Note 3). Topic 350-20, Goodwill, and 350-30, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires intangible assets with a finite life be tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated discounted cash flow used in determining the fair value of the asset. Future impairment tests for patents and trademarks will be performed annually in the fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner if warranted.
	Patents and trademarks were acquired as part of the Cleaire asset acquisition (Note 3) and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. For the period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, patents and trademarks amount to $39,900 and $0 respectively. Amortization expense was $2,100 for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2013 (September 30, 2012 - $0).
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	'
	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Included in the ASC Topic 820 framework is a three level valuation inputs hierarchy with Level 1 being inputs and transactions that can be effectively fully observed by market participants spanning to Level 3 where estimates are unobservable by market participants outside of the Company and must be estimated using assumptions developed by the Company. The Company discloses the lowest level input significant to each category of asset or liability valued within the scope of ASC Topic 820 and the valuation method as exchange, income or use. The Company uses inputs which are as observable as possible and the methods most applicable to the specific situation of each company or valued item.
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. Per ASC Topic 820 framework these are considered Level 2 inputs where inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	Our conversion option derivative liability, which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis, is measured using Level 3 inputs.
	Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. The promissory notes payable and loan payable both have fixed interest rates therefore the Company is exposed to interest rate risk in that they could not benefit from a decrease in market interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the Company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	'
	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
	The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants to employees and non-employees in connection with consulting or other services. These options or warrants may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
	Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received an immediate charge to income is recognized in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.
	The discount from the face value of the convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated rate of interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.
	The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
REVENUE RECOGNITION	'
	REVENUE RECOGNITION
	The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of its catalytic products. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the amount is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
	The Company also derives revenue (approximately 4.8% and 7.9% of total revenue during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively) from providing air testing and environmental certification services. Revenues are recognized upon delivery of testing services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
LOSS/EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK	'
	LOSS/EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
	Loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.
	Basic and diluted earnings per share have been determined by dividing the consolidated net earnings available to shareholders for the applicable period by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, respectively. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is calculated as if all dilutive options and restricted stock grants had been exercised or vested at the later of the beginning of the reporting period or date of grant, using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of convertible notes has been reflected in diluted weighted average number of shares using the if-converted method.
INCOME TAXES	'
	INCOME TAXES
	Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, which requires, among other things, a liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur.
	Such adjustments may have a material impact on ESW’s income tax provision and results of operations.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS	'
	SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
	The Company’s shipping and handling costs of $97,301 and $74,145 are included in cost of revenues for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 shipping and handling costs amounted to $49,024 and $27,084, respectively. Additionally, the Company has recorded recoveries of these costs amounting to $69,709 and $59,324, which are included in revenues for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 shipping and handling revenues amounted to, $29,332 and $23,327, respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT	'
	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
	The Company is engaged in research and development work. Research and development costs are charged as operating expense of the Company as incurred. Any grant money received for research and development work is used to offset these expenditures. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company expensed $455,235 and $ 477,582, net of grant revenues, respectively, towards research and development costs. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company expensed $214,624 and $163,264, net of grant revenues, respectively, towards research and development costs. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, gross research and development expense, excluding any offsetting grant revenues, amounted to $496,181 and $ 477,582, respectively, and grant revenues amounted to $40,946 and $0, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, grant revenues amounted to $0.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION	'
	FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
	The functional currency of the Company and its foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. All of the Company’s revenue and materials purchased from suppliers are denominated in, or linked to, the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are converted to the functional currency on the transaction date, and any resulting assets or liabilities are further translated at each reporting date and at settlement. Gains and losses recognized upon such translations are included within foreign exchange gain (loss) in the unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) / income.
PRODUCT WARRANTIES	'
	PRODUCT WARRANTIES
	The Company provides for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale and accrues for specific items at the time their existence is known and the amounts are determinable. The Company estimates warranty costs using standard quantitative measures based on industry warranty claim experience and evaluation of specific customer warranty issues. The Company currently estimates warranty costs as 2% of revenue for on-road products and, effective July 1, 2013, the Company revised its warranty accrual for off-road products to 4% of revenue from the prior warranty accrual estimate of 2% of revenue. ESW has estimated a one-time charge of $1,000,000 related to its assumption of warranties for legacy Cleaire products in the field. ESW has also estimated a one-time warranty charge of $504,900 associated with certain verification procedures relating to the ThermaCat. The actual amount of loss associated with such assumption of warranties and/or verification procedures, however, could be materially different.  Both of these warranty charges are based on the estimated number of operational units, average remaining warranty life and cost of warrantable failure. These amounts, as well as the on-road and off-road provision have been included in the warranty provision of $1,717,019 as of September 30, 2013.
	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $1,717,019 and $143,564, respectively, were accrued as warranty provisions on the balance sheet. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the total warranty, service, service travel and installation costs included in cost of revenue were $1,687,128 and $216,745, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the total warranty, service, service travel and installation costs included in cost of revenue were $105,294 and $74,311 respectively.
SEGMENT REPORTING	'
	SEGMENT REPORTING
	ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in the Company’s unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. ESW operates in two reportable segments; medium and heavy duty diesel retrofit operations and air testing services (see Note 17). ESW’s chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Executive Chairman.
