NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
September 30, 2003 |
|
|
Note 1 - Future Operations |
|
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.The Company's significant operating losses and its working capital deficit and stockholders' deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |
|
The following is a summary of management's plan to raise capital and generate additional operating funds. |
|
The Company was funded initially through investment by the principal shareholder. Since 1998 funding has been through private investments including strategic alliances. |
|
Business opportunities for the next twelve months include establishment of an international (Joint Venture) subsidiary, international CDT systems sales to governments, major multi-national industrial corporations and U.S. pilot sales. Several opportunities are being discussed including: humanitarian trust funds, Iraq rehabilitation, industrial joint ventures and geographic distribution agreements. |
|
The Company recognizes the extent of the financial investment necessary to support current and planned business activities. There is no guarantee that the Company can complete the above-referenced financing; however, the Company is currently negotiating the following opportunities: |
|
1. A significant equity investment including establishment of a majority-owned international subsidiary. |
2. A matching CDT R&D Grant from an international government |
3. Bridge financing to implement the State of Texas and Red River Agreements. |
4. Additional strategic investment alliances. |
5. Expansion of current strategic and investment alliances. |
6. Incentive financing from the State of Texas. |
|
The Company is dependent upon the proceeds of private placements and strategic alliances of the Company's securities to implement its business plan and to finance its working capital requirements. Should the Company's plans or its assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate or offering proceeds are insufficient to fund the Company's operations, the Company would be required to seek additional financing sooner than anticipated. Management is confident it will be able to continue raising funds in the balance of 2003 through private placements, investment/distribution agreements and product sales. |
|
There can be no assurances given that the Company will be successful in generating sufficient revenues from its planned activities or in raising sufficient capital to allow it to continue as a going concern which contemplates increased operating expenses, acquisition of assets and the disposition of liabilities in the normal course of business. These factors can affect the ability of the Company to implement its general business plan including the completion of the required manufacturing facilities and continued proprietary CDT product improvements. |

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices |
|
(a) Description of Business |
|
Capacitive Deionization Technology Systems, Inc. (Formerly FarWest Group, Inc.) (the "Company" or "CDT Systems, Inc.") was organized under the laws of the state of Nevada in July 1996 to serve as a water technology company. |
|
In January 1997, the Company entered into a manufacturing and marketing license agreement with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories ("Lawrence Livermore") whereby the Company obtained the rights to Lawrence Livermore's patented Capacitive Deionization Technology ("CDT"). The company has the rights to develop and manufacture a carbon aerogel CDT product for commercial use in the desalination, filtration and purification of water. The manufacturing and marketing license is effective for the life of the patents (up to 17 years). To maintain the license the Company must make contracted annual royalty payments to Lawrence Livermore beginning at $25,000 per year, then becoming a percentage of revenue. |
|
During the first quarter of 2003 the Company completed an Incentive Agreement with the State of Texas Economic Development Commission. The Incentive Program includes approximately five million dollars of incentives based on the Company employing a specified number of employees at its North Texas manufacturing facility, and making budgeted capital equipment investments and engineering development expenditures. |
|
The Company received a Letter of Intent from the Red River Redevelopment Authority (Texarkana area) whereby Red River will provide approximately two million dollars in incentive financing plus assistance in financing the construction of the Company's 200,000 square foot manufacturing facility at Red River. |

|
(c) Basis of Presentation |
|
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulations S-B. They do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 which will be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements to be included in the Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring ad justments, have been made. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. |
|
(d) Stock-Based Compensation |
|
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Under Opinion 25, compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant above the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. No compensation expense is recognized when the exercise price is equal to the market value of the stock on the day of the grant. The Financial Standards Board ("FASB") published SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123) on January 1, 1996 which encourages, but does not require, companies to recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options and other equity instruments to employees based on new fair value accounting rules. Companies that choose not to adopt the new rules will cont inue to apply the existing rules, but will be required to disclose pro forma net income under the new method. |
|
The Company issued no options or warrants to employees during the periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. |
