Our primary source of revenue is from sales of our products. We recognize revenue upon shipment and transfer of title.
We monitor our accounts and note receivable balances on a monthly basis to ensure they are collectible. On a quarterly basis, we use our historical experience to determine our accounts receivable reserve. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate based on specifically identified accounts, as well as general reserves. We evaluate specific accounts where we have information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. In these cases, management uses its judgment, based upon the best available facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that customer against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected. These specific reserves are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amount reserved. We also establish a general reserve for all customers based upon a range of percentages applied to aging categories. These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience. If circumstances change, our estimate of the recoverability of amounts due to us could be reduced or increased by a significant amount. A change in estimated recoverability would be accounted for in the period in which the facts that give rise to the change become known.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004
Sales. Sales increased to $1,850,954 for the year ended March 31, 2005 from $972,051 for the year ended March 31, 2004. The $878,903 or 90% increase in sales was due to higher sales of Specialty Chemicals and Uniproof proofing paper. Sales for our specialty chemical products including KH-30 and KX-91, and our Green Globe / Qualchem product line increased by 168%. The increase was primarily related to a 199% increase in sales of our KH-30 family of oil field dispersant products reflecting a higher level of orders. This was partially offset by a 61% decline in the level of U.S. Military sales during the year. We believe that last fiscal year the U.S. Government stocked up on orders and then cut its orders during the 2005 fiscal year due to other military priorities. Our three largest customers accounted for 72% of revenues for the year ended March 31, 2005 compared with 56% for the comparable period in 2004. Uniproof proofing paper sales increased by 14% due to higher level of orders from our primary customer.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased to $759,064 or 41% of sales, for the year ended March 31, 2005 from $516,647, or 53% of sales, for the year ended March 31, 2004. The increase in cost of goods sold was due to the increased sales of KH-30 products compared to the prior year and an increase in the volume of Uniproof proofing paper sales compared to the prior fiscal year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to $2,581,033 or 139% of sales, for the year ended March 31, 2005 from $2,674,968, or 275% of sales, for the year ended March 31, 2004. The slight decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily related to lower salaries and benefits due to the departure of certain executives, lower travel and entertainment expenses, bad debts, laboratory expenses and insurance partially offset by an increase in professional fees.
Oil Well Operating and Maintenance Cost - net. In April 2004, we sold the oil well leases located in Laramie County, Wyoming for $15,000, and a 4.5% royalty on all future oil sales from these wells. The Company recognized no gain or loss on the sale of the oil well leases.
Impairment loss. During the year ended March 31, 2005, we tested our goodwill by estimating its fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis. As a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $2,010 related to the Green Globe segment. During the year ended March 31, 2004, we recorded a $51,310 impairment charge related to the Green Globe segment. We also recorded a $70,467 impairment loss related to the oil leases held by United Energy Oil Corp.
Depreciation, Amortization and Depletion. Depreciation, amortization and depletion decreased to $84,401 for the year ended March 31, 2005 from $127,177 for the year ended March 31, 2004 reflecting additions to fixed assets and capitalized legal costs related to patent filings, offset by the sale of the oil leases. Depletion expenses was not material.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $287,118 for the year ended March 31, 2005 compared with $6,683 for the year ended March 31, 2004. The increase was due to interest on the $1,750,000 convertible term note issued March 2004.
Net Loss. For the year ended March 31, 2005, we incurred a net loss of $1,854,876, or $0.08 per share, as compared to a net loss of $2,569,098 for the year ended March 31, 2004, or $0.12 per share. The average number of shares of common stock used in calculating earnings per share increased to 22,365,901 from 22,180,270 shares.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since 1995, operations have been financed primarily through loans, equity contributions from directors and executive officers and from third parties supplemented by funds generated by our business.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had $83,658 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $365,610 at March 31, 2005. The $281,952 decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due to net cash used in operating activities of $1,030,108, net cash used in investing activities of $56,577, partially offset by net cash provided by financing activities of $804,733. Cash used in investing activities consisted of employee loans of $22, $25,846 related to patent applications for KH-30 and the S-2 technology and the purchase of production equipment and other fixed assets of $30,709. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds from related parties of $200,000, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $345,000, proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $380,000, the receipt of stock subscription receivable of $13,333, partially offset by the payment of related party payable of $133,600.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, net cash used in operating activities was $1,887,981 compared with $1,913,167 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, net cash used in investing activities decreased to $24,701 compared with $280,000 for the year ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily a result of a reduced level of expenditures for purchase of fixed assets to support operations and capitalized legal fees required to file patent applications for
17
our KH-30, KX-91 and S2 system, as well as $15,000 in proceeds from the sale of the oil wells.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash generated from financing activities decreased to $760,267 resulting from $626,667 of proceeds from our private placement in March 2005, as discussed below and a loan from the Chairman of the Board of $133,600. This compares to cash provided from financing activities of $1,590,250 for the year ended March 31, 2004 resulting from the net proceeds from sale of a secured convertible term note on March 24, 2004 in the amount of $1,750,000, which was partially offset by $159,750 of financing costs.
As of December 31, 2005 the Company had no backlog. Backlog represents products that the Company’s customers have committed to purchase. The Company’s backlog is subject to fluctuations and is not necessarily indicative of future sales.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company has recorded aggregate losses from operations of $4,423,974 and has incurred total negative cash flow from operations of $3,801,148 for the same two-year period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2005, the Company experienced a net loss from operations of $2,898,419 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $1,030,108. The Company does not currently have an operating line of credit.
The report of the independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our financial statements included in this prospectus includes a “going concern” qualification, indicating that our recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our continued existence is dependent upon several factors, including increased sales volumes, collection of existing receivables and the ability to achieve profitability from the sale of our product lines. In order to increase our cash flow, we are continuing our efforts to stimulate sales and cut back expenses not directly supporting our sales and marketing efforts.
On March 18, 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with two private investors with the respect to the sale of shares of our common stock and warrants. The agreement provides for two types of units, designated as Series A and Series B.
The Series A Units each consist of 100,000 shares of our common stock and a Series A Warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The Series A Warrants expire five (5) years from the date they are issued. The purchase price for each Series A Unit is $80,000. the securities purchase agreement provides for the sale of up to twenty (20) Series A Units.
On March 18, 2005, the contract date, the company issued 8 Series A Units or 800,000 shares of its common stock for a purchase price of $640,000.
The Series B Units each consist of ten (10) shares of a new class of preferred stock that will be converted into 80,000 shares of our common stock in the aggregate, subject to adjustment, and Series B Warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of our stock at $1.50 per share. The Series B Warrants expire five (5) years from the date they are issued. The purchase price for each Series B Unit is $80,000. The securities purchase agreement provides for the sale of up to forty-two (42) Series B Units.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 4.75 additional Series A Units or 475,000 shares of its common stock for a purchase price of $380,000 as per the securities purchase agreement dated March 18, 2005.
During January 2006, the Company issued the remaining 7.25 Series A Units or 725,000 shares of its common stock for a purchase price of $580,000 as per the securities purchase agreement dated March 18, 2005.
On January 26, 2006, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the securities purchase agreement dated March 18, 2005. The agreement was scheduled to expire on its first anniversary, March 18, 2006. The amendment changes that date to the earlier of March 18, 2008 or thirty (30) days after notice of termination from the holder of a majority of the shares issued under the agreement. For the period beginning on the date of the amendment through June 30, 2007, the consent of the majority holder is required for the Company to do any of the following:
| |
| (i) contract for equity financing or debt financing with an equity component or issue any equity securities or securities convertible to equity; |
| |
| (ii) incur indebtedness in excess of $250,000 other than trade debt in the ordinary course of business; |
| |
| (iii) merge or consolidate or sell, transfer or license our assets outside of the ordinary course of business; |
| |
| (iv) enter into an operating or capital lease in a transaction or series of transactions with annual payments in excess of |
18
| |
| $250,000; |
| |
| (v) make capital expenditures in excess of $125,000 per fiscal year; |
| |
| (vi) grant exclusive distribution rights with respect to any of our products; or |
| |
| (vii) permit any of our officers to sign or endorse any check, note, draft or other form of indebtedness in excess of $5,000 without the prior written authority of our Chairman. |
We also agreed that from the date of the amendment through March 18, 2009 we will not negotiate or contract for a future offering without first providing to the investors a ten-day right of first refusal to participate in the future offering. To the extent the investors choose not to participate, we will then have 60 days to complete the future offering without re-offering the investors the right to participate.
During the period from the date of the amendment through March 18, 2008, the majority holder has the right to designate someone to receive notices of our Board of Directors meetings and attend as an observer.
For so long as the investors hold 1,500,000 shares of common stock equivalents (meaning shares of common stock and other securities convertible to or exercisable for common stock), the majority holder shall have the right to designate a majority of the members of our Board of Directors in the event of any of the following, referred to as triggering events:
| |
| (i) if we fail to have gross revenue of at least $5,000,000 for the six months ending September 30, 2006; |
| |
| (ii) if we breach any of our representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, terms or obligations under the securities purchase agreement or ancillary agreements; or |
| |
| (iii) if the investors purchase an aggregate of twenty-one or more Series B Units |
On March 9, 2006, we entered into the Second Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 18, 2005. Pursuant to the second amendment, one of the investors agreed to purchase three-tenths of one Series B unit, consisting of 3 shares of Preferred Stock and Series B Warrants to purchase 12,000 shares of our common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $24,000. In addition, the investors have agreed to waive all existing defaults under the purchase agreement, including our failure to timely file a Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock and to timely issue common stock certificates and warrants.
We and the investors also agreed to terminate all further obligations of the investors to purchase and our obligation to sell any remaining Series B units. The remaining Series B units would have consisted of 417 shares of Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 3,336,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 and of warrants to purchase 1,668,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Instead thereof, we agreed to issue to one of the investors Series C Warrants to purchase 5,004,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00. The Series C Warrant, as well as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Warrant, are subject to anti-dilution provisions in the event that we issue shares of common stock at a price less than the conversion price or the exercise price and contain provisions limiting the holders right to convert or exercise if doing so would cause such holder and its affiliates to beneficially own more than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock.
On March 24, 2006, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with the Purchasers named therein and a First Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the we raised $5,100,000 in gross cash proceeds from the sale to the Purchasers in a private placement of 4,250,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.20 per share.
Concentration of Risk
The Company sells its Uniproof proofing paper to three customers. One of these customers constitutes 99% of Graphic Arts sales and 27% of total customer sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 and 99% of Graphic Arts sales and 27% of total customer sales for the nine months period ended December 31, 2005. The loss of this customer would have adverse financial consequences to the Company. We have provided liberal credit terms to this customer and there is a risk that a certain amount of this receivable balance may prove to be uncollectible. The Company believes that this customer will purchase additional product and the Company would use that as leverage to collect any outstanding balances.

Reporting by Segments
We are primarily a specialty chemicals company because of our determination in fiscal 1998 to close our printing equipment division and focus on our KH-30 oil well cleaner and related products. However, a significant portion of our revenues has been related to the printing and the graphic arts industry. We believe that in the future our chemical sales will increase and that our reliance on the graphic arts segment of the company will decrease. During the past two fiscal years, we have derived additional revenues by acting as a graphic arts products distributor.
We do devote almost all of our time and effort into selling, promoting and developing our chemical products and we are continuing to increase our marketing efforts to develop new products as extensions of our original KH-30 product. We do believe that in the future our sales will increase. We also believe that our reliance on the graphic arts segment of the company will decrease.
The following table shows the proportion of total revenues by segment in each of the last two fiscal years:
| | | | | | | |
Fiscal Year | | | Graphic Arts | | | Specialty Chemicals | |
| | |
| | |
| |
2004 | | | $486,075 | | | $ 485,976 | |
2005 | | | $549,462 | | | $1,301,492 | |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation in the cost of our raw materials has had in the past or will have in the future any significant negative impact on our operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). This revised accounting standard eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS No. 123R requires public entities to record noncash compensation expense related to payment for employee services by an equity award, such as stock options, in their financial statements over the requisite service period. SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual period that begins after December 15, 2005 for small business issues. The Company does not plan to adopt SFAS No. 123R prior to its fourth-quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a negative impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations. The Company has historically provided pro forma disclosures pursuant to SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 as if the fair value method of accounting for stock options had been applied, assuming use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Although not currently anticipated, other assumptions may be utilized when SFAS No. 123R is adopted.
Quantitative and Qualitative disclosures About Market Risk
20
The market risk inherent in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions are the potential losses arising from adverse changes in interest rate and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rates
At March 31, 2005, the Company had a loan that had a variable interest rate. The loan, which had an outstanding balance of $1,600,000 at March 31, 2005, was obtained in March 2004 and has a three-year term. The loan accrues interest at the greater of the prime rate of interest (as published in the Wall Street Journal) or 4% per annum. A one-percentage point increase in the prime rate of interest affecting our term loan would increase our net loss by $16,000 over the next fiscal year. During the nine months ended December 31, 2005, the $1,600,000 in principal and $492 of interest of the loan was converted into 2,000,615 shares of common stock.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Although our business is international in scope, to date our product sales have been all U.S. dollar-denominated. As we expand, we may be affected by exchange rate fluctuations in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. We do not currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Committees of the Board and Audit Committee Financial Expert

Stock Option Plan
In August 2001, our stockholders approved the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan which provides for the grant of stock options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to any employee, non-employee director or consultant at our board’s discretion. Under the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, options may be exercised for a period up to ten years from the date of grant. Options issued to employees are exercisable upon vesting, which can range between the date of the grant to up to five years.
An amendment and restatement of the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan increasing the number of shares issuable under the plan to a total of 4,000,000 was approved by the Board of Directors on May 29, 2002 and was approved by our shareholders at the annual meeting.
Under the 2001 Plan, options are granted to non-employee directors upon election at the annual meeting of stockholders at a purchase price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. In addition, non-employee director stock options shall be exercisable in full twelve months after the date of grant unless determined otherwise by the compensation committee.
There were stock options to purchase 545,000 shares of our common stock available for future grant as of March 31, 2005 under the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We have an amount due to Robert Seaman, a major shareholder and former director of the Company. The amount due as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 is $244,141. This amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due upon demand.
�� Martin Rappaport, one of our directors, owns the building in which we lease our principal executive offices in Secaucus, New Jersey. We pay approximately $100,000 per year under the lease, excluding real estate taxes. We believe that this transaction was advantageous to us and was on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
During January and February 2005, the Chairman of the Board, Ron Wilen, loaned the Company $133,600. The loan was unsecured, non interest bearing and due upon demand. The loan was repaid in April 2005.
During August 2005, the Chairman of the Board, Ron Wilen and the Chief Executive Officer, Brian King, each loaned the Company $100,000. The loans are both unsecured, non interest bearing and due upon demand. Each of these loans were repaid in full in April, 2006.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our articles of incorporation eliminate, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal liability of our directors and officers to us and to our stockholders for damages from a breach of any duty owed to us or to our stockholders. Under Nevada law, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer if he or she (i) is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the Nevada Private Corporations Law for breaching fiduciary duties as an officer or director and the breach of duties did not involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
As of March 31, 2006, there were approximately 31,005,882 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. We are a Nevada corporation and are authorized to issue 100 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share.
Common Stock
Each share of common stock has one vote on all matters presented to the stockholders, except at elections of directors each stockholder is entitled to as many votes as equals the number of shares of his or her stock multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. In director elections, a stockholder may cast all of his or her votes for a single director or distribute his or her votes among the director nominees as he or she sees fit.
The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefore. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision for claims against us. Holders of shares of our common stock, as such, have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the common stock. All of the outstanding shares of common stock and the shares of common stock offered hereby, when issued against payment of the consideration set forth in this prospectus, are fully paid and non-assessable.
The registrar and transfer agent for our common stock is Interstate Transfer Company, 6084 South 900 East, Suite 101, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
26
Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, our board of directors may issue additional shares of common stock. Any additional issuance of common stock could have the effect of impeding or discouraging the acquisition of control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, including a transaction in which our stockholders would receive a premium over the market price for their shares, and thereby protects the continuity of our management. Specifically, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, shares could be issued by our board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by:
| |
• | diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group; |
|
• | putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the incumbent board of directors; or |
|
• | effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover. |
27
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling their shares:
| | |
| • | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors; |
| | |
| • | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| | |
| • | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| | |
| • | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| | |
| • | privately negotiated transactions; |
| | |
| • | short sales (other than short sales established prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this prospectus is a part); |
| | |
| • | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| | |
| • | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| | |
| • | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of the shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them (including shares issued upon exercise of the warrants) and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3), or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors-in-interest as a selling stockholder under this prospectus.
Upon our receipt of written notice from a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), if applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) any other material facts regarding the transaction. In addition, upon our receipt of written notice from a selling stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of our common stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, in accordance with applicable securities law.
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock and warrants in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with those sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of securities will be paid by the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers. Each selling stockholder has
28
represented and warranted to us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock.
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of our common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
29

The validity of the common stock we are offering by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, New York, New York.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNITED ENERGY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
INDEX OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of United Energy Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United Energy Corporation (a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of United Energy Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

UNITED ENERGY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2005 AND 2004
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BUSINESS PLAN
United Energy Corp. (“United Energy” or the “Company”) considers its primary business focus to be the development, manufacture and sale of environmentally friendly specialty K-Product Line of Chemicals.
Green Globe is operated as a separate subsidiary of United Energy and sells its products under the tradename Qualchem‘TM’. Green Globe gives United Energy access to the chemistry and product lines of Green Globe which include environmentally friendly paint strippers and cleaners, many of which have been qualified for use by the U.S. Military. Green Globe developed a dual package of cleaning and drying “wipes” which produce a clear, non-reflective coating on glasses, computer screens and instrument panels. The “wipes” were developed for, and have received U.S. Military approval for, the cleaning of the instrument panels of combat aircraft.
United Energy’s chemists have also developed an environmentally friendly fire-retardant agent named FR-15. FR-15 begins as a concentrate which can be mixed with varying amounts of water, depending on the anticipated use. FR-15 mixture also resists re-ignition once a fire has been extinguished. This product can also be used to reduce odors, such as those from decomposing garbage, and for soil remediation following petroleum-based contamination. Our FR-15 product has been developed and successfully tested by several municipal fire departments. Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”) did not have an approved test for FR-15 as a dispersant. A reformulation of FR-15 was developed to pass the UL fire extinguisher test. The reformulated product is being resubmitted for testing and certification by Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”). We expect that sales of FR-15 will commence when the product receives UL certification.
United Energy also produces a specialty chemical product called UNIPROOF’r’, which is a photosensitive coating that is applied to paper to produce what is known in the printing industry as proofing paper or “blue line” paper.
Slick Barrier is an underwater protective coating which prevents the adherence of barnacles to boat hulls. The product is another in the Company’s line of environmental products in that it is environmentally friendly and biodegradable, which the Company believes to be particularly appealing in fresh water marine applications. The product is still being tested on pleasure boats throughout the United States and Europe. We expect to begin sales of the product by the end of 2005. A patent application on this product is in process.
During the past two fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, we have recorded aggregate losses from operations of $4,423,974 and have incurred total negative cash flows from operations of $3,801,148 for the same two-year period. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our continued existence is dependent upon several factors, including increased sales volumes, collection of existing receivables and the ability to achieve profitability from the sale of our product lines. In order to increase our cash flow, we are continuing our efforts to stimulate sales and cut back expenses not directly supporting our sales and marketing efforts.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Energy Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Green Globe Industries, Inc. and currently inactive subsidiary, Nor-Graphic Industries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America requires United Energy to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
On an on-going basis, United Energy evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, contingencies and litigation. United Energy bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s primary source of revenue is from the sales of its products. The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment and transfer of title.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Inventories
Inventories consist predominately of finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company monitors its accounts and note receivable balances on a monthly basis to ensure they are collectible. On a quarterly basis, the Company uses its historical experience to determine its accounts receivable reserve. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate based on specifically identified accounts as well as general reserves. The Company evaluates specific accounts where it has information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. In these cases, management uses its judgment, based upon the best available facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that customer against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected. These specific reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amount reserved. The company also establishes a general reserve based upon a range of percentages applied to aging categories. These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience. If circumstances change, the Company’s estimate of the recoverability of amounts due the company could be reduced or increased by a material amount. Such a change in estimated recoverability would be accounted for in the period in which the facts that give rise to the change become known.
F-10
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation has been calculated over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 15 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases (15 years), which are shorter than the useful life. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $92,196 and $132,660, respectively.
Property and equipment consists of the following at March 31, 2005 and 2004:

Goodwill
The Company capitalized goodwill related to the acquisition of Green Globe in September of 1998. Goodwill represents cost in excess of fair value on the net assets acquired. Goodwill was amortized over a 15 year period using a straight line amortization method until the adoption of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” on April 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives (but with no maximum life). Effective April 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, which had no material effect on its results of operations and financial position.
As required by SFAS 142, the Company completed its transitional impairment testing of intangible assets. Under SFAS 142, the goodwill impairment exists if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The impairment testing is performed in two steps: (i) the Company determines impairment by comparing fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, and (ii) if there is an impairment the Company measures the amount of impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.
As of March 31, 2005 the Company completed its annual impairment testing of goodwill. The Company estimated the fair value of its goodwill by using discounted cash flow analysis. As a result of the impairment tests, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $2,010 related to the Green Globe segment, during the year ended March 31, 2005. During the year ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $51,310.

Patents
The Company capitalizes legal costs incurred to obtain patents. Amortization begins when the patent is approved using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 15 years.
Oil Well Leases
On April 4, 2003, the Company purchased oil leases for six oil wells in Laramie County, Wyoming (the “Wyoming Wells”) for an aggregate purchase price of $97,616. In addition to operating the wells, the Company used the wells to test its products. During the year ended March 31, 2004, the Wyoming Wells produced oil which generated $34,636 in revenues and incurred operating costs and start-up maintenance and repair costs of $137,298.
The Company capitalized $17,352 for the oil leases and $68,571 for equipment, net of depreciation, amortization and depletion at March 31, 2004. The Company recorded an asset retirement obligation of $30,000 to cover the cost of capping the wells in accordance with SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.”
As of March 31, 2004 the company reviewed the carrying value of the oil well leases held by United Oil Corp. The Company estimated that the carrying value of the oil leases should be adjusted due to the sale of the oil well leases in April 2004. As a result the Company recorded an oil leases’ impairment loss of $70,467.
In April 2004, the Company sold their oil well leases located in Laramie County, Wyoming for $15,000 and a 4.5% royalty on all future oil sales from these wells. The company recognized no gain or loss on the sale of the oil well leases. In May 2004, the state of Wyoming returned the $75,000 deposit made by the company at the time the oil leases were purchased. There were no royalty payments received during the year ended March 31, 2005.
Accounting for Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets include property and equipment and patents.
In accordance with SFAS 144, long-lived assets other than goodwill are reviewed on a periodic basis for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
F-12
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and the income tax bases of assets and liabilities and for net operating loss carry forwards existing at the balance sheet date using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the taxes are expected to be paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is established when it is considered more likely than not that such assets will not be realizable. The effect on deferred tax assets or liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the tax change occurs.
Stock-Based Compensation
At March 31, 2005, the Company has stock based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 10. As permitted by SFAS No.123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements with employees in accordance with provisions of Account Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Compensation expense for stock options issued to employees is based on the difference on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price of the option. There was no stock based employee compensation cost for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No.96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Stock based compensation for non-employees was $208,740 and $9,700 for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to all stock based compensation:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). This revised accounting standard eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS No. 123R requires public entities to record noncash compensation expense related to payment for employee services by an equity award, such as stock options, in their financial statements over the requisite service period. SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual period that begins after December 15, 2005 for small business issues. The Company does not plan to adopt SFAS No. 123R prior to its fourth-quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a negative impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations. The company has historically provided pro forma disclosures pursuant to SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 as if the fair value method of accounting for stock options had been applied, assuming use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Although not currently anticipated, other assumptions may be utilized when SFAS No. 123R is adopted.
Per Share Data
SFAS No. 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (“EPS”). The standard requires the presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income/loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing income/loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities. Diluted loss per share for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 does not include 8,580,000, and 6,430,000 stock options and warrants since the inclusion of the outstanding stock options and warrants would be antidilutive.
Concentrations of Risk
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions insured up to $100,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Balances exceeded these insured amounts during the year.
Accounts and Notes Receivable
The Company had three customers which accounted for 87% and 50% of the total accounts receivable at March 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively. One company accounted for 14% and 50%, the second accounted for 56% and 0%, and the last accounted for 17% and 0% at March 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively. Credit losses, if any, have been provided for in the consolidated financial statements and are based on management’s expectations.
At March 31, 2003, the Company converted an accounts receivable balance of $179,034 to a one year note receivable. The note accrues interest at the rate of 4.5%, was to be paid in 12 monthly installments and provides for a security interest in the inventory held by this customer. During the year ended March 31, 2004, the customer returned goods in the amount of $30,226, which reduced the note. Principal payments in the amount of $53,808 have also been received. In addition, the Company increased the reserve by $1,350 to $31,350. No interest has been paid to date. On March 28, 2004, the customer agreed to a balance of $95,000, which was to be paid $5,000 per month. During the year ended March 31, 2005, the customer made seven monthly payments. The balance at March 31, 2005 is $60,000, prior to the reserve of $31,350.
F-14
Significant Customers
The Company’s revenues from major customers, as a percentage of revenues, for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, are as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | |
| |
| |
| |
| | | | | | | |
Customer A | | 3 | % | | 10 | % | |
Customer B | | 30 | % | | 46 | % | |
Customer C | | 39 | % | | 0 | % | |
Vendors
The Company purchased supplies from major venders for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | |
| |
| |

Vendor A | | 21 | % | | 27 | % | |
Vendor B | | 12 | % | | 8 | % | |
Vendor C | | 11 | % | | 0 | % | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, note and loan receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Reclassification
Certain amounts from the prior year consolidated financial statement have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation with no effect on net income.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company had an amount due to Robert Seaman, a major shareholder and former director of the Company. The amount due as of March 31, 2005 and 2004 is $244,141. This amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due upon demand.
Martin Rappaport, a major shareholder and director of the Company, owns the property from which United Energy leases the 9,600 square foot facility it occupies in Secaucus, New Jersey. The Company pays approximately $108,000 per year under the lease, excluding real estate taxes. The Company believes that the lease is at fair market value with leases for similar facilities.
During January and February 2005, the Companies Chairman of the Board, Ron Wilen, loaned the Company $133,600. The loan was unsecured, non interest bearing and due upon demand. This loan was repaid in April 2005.
5. CONVERTIBLE DEBT
On March 24, 2004, the Company issued a secured convertible term note (the “Term Note”) in the amount of $1,750,000, which has a term of three years and accrues interest at the greater of the prime rate of interest, currently 5.75% per year at March 31, 2005 (as published in the Wall Street Journal), or 4% per year. Interest is payable monthly in arrears commencing on May 1, 2004, and on the first day of each consecutive calendar month after that date. Monthly amortization payments commenced on October 1, 2004, at the rate of $58,333.
The holder of the Term Note has the option to convert all or a portion of the note (including principal, interest and penalties) into shares of common stock at any time, subject to specified limitations, at a fixed conversion price of $1.00 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. On March 18, 2005, in connection with the financing discussed in Note 7, the fixed conversion price was adjusted to $0.80. The Company’s obligations under the Term Note are secured by a first priority security interest in the Company’s assets. As of March 31, 2005, the holder of the Term Note converted $150,000 in principal into 150,000 shares of common stock. In addition, the holder of the Term Note received $12,497 of interest in shares of common stock. Between April 1 and June 1, 2005, the holder of the Term Note converted $117,800 in principal into 147,250 shares of common stock.
During December 2004, the Company defaulted on the Term Note by failing to pay principal of $24,999. The Company also failed to pay principal of $116,666 for January and February 2005. On February 28, 2005, the Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver agreement (the “Amendment”) with the holder of the Term Note. The amendment included a waiver by the holder of the Term Note of all Events of Default. In consideration for the waiver the Company, (i) paid the holder unpaid interest, (ii) prepaid $37,777 of additional interest and (iii) issued a seven year warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price ranging from $1.25 to $1.75. In addition, the holder agreed to defer the principal payments scheduled to be paid from December 2004 through May 2005 until the date of Maturity. (see note 7)

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Sales Commission Claim
In July 2002, an action was commenced against us in the Court of Common Pleas of South Carolina, Pickens County, brought by Quantum International Technology, LLC and Richard J. Barrett. Plaintiffs allege that they were retained as a sales representative of ours and in that capacity made sales of our products to the United States government and to commercial entities. Plaintiffs further allege that we failed to pay to plaintiffs agreed commissions at the rate of 20% of gross sales of our products made by plaintiffs. The complaint seeks an accounting, compensatory damages in the amount of all unpaid commissions plus interest thereon, punitive damages in an amount treble the compensatory damages, plus legal fees and costs. Plaintiffs maintain that they are entitled to receive an aggregate of approximately $350,000 in compensatory and punitive damages, interest and costs. In June 2003, the action was transferred from the court in Pickens County to a Master in Equity sitting in Greenville, South Carolina and was removed from the trial docket. The action, if tried, will be tried without a jury. No trial date has yet been scheduled. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in the action and intend to vigorously defend the case. The outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.
Lease Commitments
The Company leases office facilities, equipment and autos under operating leases expiring on various dates through 2009. Certain leases contain renewal options. The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of March 31, 2005.

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On February 28, 2005, we entered into an amended agreement on the convertible term note (see note 5). The Company issued warrants to purchase up to 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share ranging from $1.25 to $1.75. The warrants are fully exercisable for seven years from the date of issuance. The estimated fair value of the warrants of $165,210 was recorded as a discount to the convertible term note and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. The unamortized amount as of March 31, 2005 was $158,423. As of March 31, 2005, these warrants were unexercised and outstanding.
F-17
On March 18, 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with two private investors to issue shares of our common stock and warrants. The Agreement provides for two types of units, designated as Series A and Series B. The Series A Units each consist of 100,000 shares of our common stock and a Series A Warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The Series A Warrants expire five (5) years from the date they are issued. The purchase price for each Series A Unit is $80,000. The Agreement provides for the sale of up to twenty (20) Series A Units.
The Series B Units each consist of ten (10) shares of a new class of preferred stock that will be converted into 80,000 shares of our common stock in the aggregate, subject to adjustment, and Series B Warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of our stock at $1.50 per share. The Series B Warrants expire five (5) years from the date they are issued. The purchase price for each Series B Unit is $80,000. The Agreement provides for the sale of up to forty-two (42) Series B Units.
On March 18, 2005, the contract date, we issued 8 Series A Units or 800,000 shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $640,000. Subsequent closings under the agreement are contingent upon orders from our customers, at the rate of one unit for each $100,000 of orders. The remaining Series A units must be purchased first, followed by Series B units. The investors have the right to purchase additional shares at any time. The obligation of the investors to purchase units expires on March 17, 2006.
The Agreement requires us to obtain shareholder approval for the authorization of the preferred stock within 75 days, or by June 1, 2005. The Agreement provides that the exercise price of the warrants is to be reduced by $0.01 for each day that approval is delayed, but not below $0.05 per share. As of June 1, 2005, we have not obtained the consent from the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares.
During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company issued an aggregate of 112,500 shares of common stock in exchange for consulting and legal services. These issuances were recorded as an increase to equity and consulting and legal expenses for the fair value of the shares of common stock on their respective grant dates.
During the year ended March 31, 2004, in connection with the convertible term note (see note 5), the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share ranging from $1.00 to $1.50. The warrants are fully exercisable for seven years from the date of issuance. The estimated fair value of the warrants of $281,670 was recorded as a discount to the convertible term note and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. The unamortized amount as of March 31, 2005 was $185,979. As of March 31, 2005, these warrants were unexercised and outstanding.
During the year ended March 31, 2004, the Company issued warrants in exchange for services provided in connection with the issuance of the convertible term note to purchase up to 175,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share of $1.50. The warrants are fully exercisable for five years from the date of issuance. The estimated fair value of $153,144 was recorded as a deferred financing cost and is being amortized over the life of the note. The unamortized amount as of March 31, 2005 was $101,116. As of March 31, 2005, these warrants were unexercised and outstanding.
8. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary difference between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities including those assets and liabilities recorded in connection with acquisitions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities result principally from recording certain expenses or income in the financial statements in a different period from recognition for income tax purposes. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for tax purposes of approximately $10,429,000, which is available to reduce its future taxable income, and expires at various dates through 2024. $106,000 is expiring in 2015, $820,000 expiring in 2016, $889,000 expiring in 2017, $736,000 expiring in 2018, $100,000 expiring in 2020, $782,000 expiring in 2021, $2,692,000 expiring in 2022, $2,404,000 expiring in 2023 and $1,900,000 expiring in 2024. A full valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax assets, which are mainly related to the
F-18
net loss carryforward, due to the uncertainties surrounding the utilization of the carryforward and limitations resulting from a change in control. There are no other significant timing differences.
Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.
9. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLAN
Stock Option Plans
In August 2001, the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the ‘2001 Plan’), which provides for the grant of stock options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to any employee, non-employee director, or consultant at the Board’s discretion. Under the 2001 Plan, these options may be exercised for a period up to ten years from the date of grant. Options issued to employees are exercisable upon vesting, which can range between the dates of the grant to up to 5 years.
An amendment and restatement of the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan increasing the number of shares for a total of 4,000,000 was approved by the Board of Directors on May 29, 2002 and was approved by the shareholders at the annual meeting.
Under the 2001 Plan, options are granted to non-employee directors upon election at the annual meeting of stockholders at a purchase price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. In addition, the non-employee director stock options shall be exercisable in full twelve months after the date of grant unless determined otherwise by the compensation committee.
There were stock options to purchase 545,000 shares of common stock for future grant as of March 31, 2005 under the 2001 equity incentive plan.
Fair Value of Stock Options
For disclosure purposes under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| | | | | | | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Expected life (in years) | | 10 | | | 10 | | |
Risk-free interest rate | | 4.54 | % | | 4.54 | % | |
Volatility | | 135.00 | | | 138.00 | | |
Dividend yield | | 0 | % | | 0 | % | |
Utilizing these assumptions, the weighted average fair value of options granted with an exercise price equal to their fair market value at the date of the grant is $1.20 and $1.32 for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

10. SEGMENT REPORTING
SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes standards for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated 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 Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at December 31, 2005 (unaudited) and the results of its operations for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (unaudited) and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (unaudited). All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim financial statements are prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements. Results of operations for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2006.
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
Going Concern - During the past two fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company has recorded aggregate losses from operations of $4,423,974 and has incurred total negative cash flow from operations of $3,801,148 for the same two-year period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2005 the Company experienced a net loss from operations of $2,898,419 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $1,030,108. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Liquidity– The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon several factors, including increased sales volume, collection of existing receivables and the ability to achieve profitability from the sale of the Company’s product lines. In order to increase its cash flow, the Company is continuing its efforts to stimulate sales and cut back expenses not directly supporting its sales and marketing efforts.
On March 24, 2004, the Company issued a secured convertible term note in the amount of $1,750,000, which had a term of three years and accrued interest at the greater of the prime rate of interest, currently 7.50% per year (as published in the Wall Street Journal), or 4% per year. Interest was payable monthly in arrears commencing on May 1, 2004, and on the first day of each consecutive calendar month after that date. Monthly amortization payments commenced on October 1, 2004, at the rate of $58,333.
The holder of the Term Note had the option to convert all or a portion of the note (including principal, interest and penalties) into shares of common stock at any time, subject to specified limitations, at a fixed conversion price of $1.00 per share. The conversion price was subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. On March 18, 2005, in connection with the financing, the fixed conversion price was adjusted to $0.80. The Company’s obligations under the Term Note were secured by a first priority security interest in the Company’s assets. During the nine months ended December 31, 2005, the holder of the Term Note converted the remaining $1,600,000 in principal and $492 of interest into 2,000,615 shares of common stock.

4. SALE OF OIL WELL LEASES
In April 2004, the Company sold their oil well leases located in Laramie County, Wyoming for $15,000 and a 4.5% royalty on all future oil sales from these wells. The Company recognized no gain or loss on the sale of the oil well leases. In May 2004, the state of Wyoming returned the $75,000 deposit made by the company at the time the oil leases were purchased.
5. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has an amount due to Robert Seaman, a major shareholder and former director of the Company. Amount due to the related party as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 is $244,141. This amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due upon demand.
Martin Rappaport, a major shareholder and director of the Company, owns the property from which United Energy leases the 9,600 square foot facility it occupies in Secaucus, New Jersey. The Company pays approximately $108,000 per year under the lease, excluding real estate taxes. The Company believes that the lease is at fair market value with leases for similar facilities.
During January and February 2005, the Chairman of the Board, Ron Wilen, loaned the Company $133,600. The loan was unsecured, non interest bearing and due upon demand. The loan was repaid in April 2005.
During August 2005, the Chairman of the Board, Ron Wilen and the Chief Executive Officer, Brian King, each loaned the Company $100,000. The loans are both unsecured, non interest bearing and due upon demand.
6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
At December 31, 2005, the Company has stock-based compensation plans. As permitted by SFAS No.123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements with employees in accordance with provisions of Account Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction With Selling, Goods or Services.” All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123R “Share Based Payments.” SFAS 123R requires public companies to record non-cash compensation expense related to payment for employee services by an equity award, such as stock options, in their financial statements over the requisite service period. The Company will adopt SFAS 123R during the fourth quarter. Stock-based compensation for non-employees was $129,720 and $103,740 for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to all stock-based compensation:

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Sales Commission Claim
In July 2002, an action was commenced against us in the Court of Common Pleas of South Carolina, Pickens County, brought by Quantum International Technology, LLC and Richard J. Barrett. Plaintiffs allege that they were retained as a sales representative of ours and in that capacity made sales of our products to the United States government and to commercial entities. Plaintiffs further allege that we failed to pay to plaintiffs agreed commissions at the rate of 20% of gross sales of our products made by plaintiffs. The complaint seeks an accounting, compensatory damages in the amount of all unpaid commissions plus interest thereon, and punitive damages in an amount triple the compensatory damages, plus legal fees and costs. Plaintiffs maintain that they are entitled to receive an aggregate of approximately $350,000 in compensatory and punitive damages, interest and costs. In June 2003, the action was transferred from the court in Pickens County to a Master in Equity sitting in Greenville, South Carolina and was removed from the trial docket. The action, if tried, will be tried without a jury. No trial date has been scheduled. We believe, based on the advice of counsel, we have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in the action and intend to vigorously defend the case. The outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During January 2006, the Company issued the remaining 7.25 units or 725,000 shares of its common stock for a purchase price of $580,000 as per the securities purchase agreement dated March 18, 2005.
On January 26, 2006, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the securities agreement dated March 18, 2005. The agreement was scheduled to expire on its first anniversary, March 18, 2006. The amendment changes that date to the earlier of March 18, 2008 or thirty (30) days after notice of termination from the holder of a majority of the shares issued under the agreement. For the period beginning on the date of the amendment through June 30, 2007, the consent of the majority holder is required for the Company to do any of the following:
| |
| (i) contract for equity financing or debt financing with an equity component or issue any equity securities or securities convertible to equity; |
| |
| (ii) incur indebtedness in excess of $250,000 other than trade debt in the ordinary course of business; |
| |
| (iii) merge or consolidate or sell, transfer or license our assets outside of the ordinary course of business; |
| |
| (iv) enter into an operating or capital lease in a transaction or series of transactions with annual payments in excess of $250,000; |
| |
| (v) make capital expenditures in excess of $125,000 per fiscal year; |
| |
| (vi) grant exclusive distribution rights with respect to any of our products; or |
| |
| (vii) permit any of our officers to sign or endorse any check, note, draft or other form of indebtedness in excess of $5,000 without the prior written authority of our Chairman. |
We also agreed that from the date of the amendment through March 18, 2009 we will not negotiate or contract for a future offering without first providing to the investors a ten-day right of first refusal to participate in the future offering. To the extent the investors choose not to participate, we will then have 60 days to complete the future offering without re-offering the investors the right to participate.
During the period from the date of the amendment through March 18, 2008, the majority holder has the right to designate someone to receive notices of our Board of Directors meetings and attend as an observer.
For so long as the investors hold 1,500,000 shares of common stock equivalents (meaning shares of common stock and other securities convertible to or exercisable for common stock), the majority holder shall have the right to designate a majority of the members of our Board of Directors in the event of any of the following, referred to as triggering events:
| (i) if we fail to have gross revenue of at least $5,000,000 for the six months ending September 30, 2006; |
F-36
| |
| (ii) if we breach any of our representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, terms or obligations under the securities purchase agreement or ancillary agreements; or |
| |
| (iii) if the investors purchase an aggregate of twenty-one or more Series B Units. |
On March 9, 2006, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of March 18, 2005. Pursuant to the second amendment, one of the investors agreed to purchase three-tenths of one Series B unit, consisting of 3 shares of Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 12,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series B Warrant”), for an aggregate purchase price of $24,000. In addition, the investors have agreed to waive all existing defaults under the purchase agreement, including the Company’s failure to timely file a Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock and to timely issue common stock certificates and warrants.
The Company and the investors also agreed to terminate all further obligations of the investors to purchase and the Company’s obligation to sell any remaining Series B units. The remaining Series B units would have consisted of 417 shares of Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 3,336,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 and of warrants to purchase 1,668,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Instead thereof, The Company agreed to issue to one of the investors warrants to purchase 5,004,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 (the “Series C Warrant”). The Series C Warrant, as well as the Preferred Stock and the Series B Warrant, are subject to anti-dilution provisions in the event that the Company issues shares of common stock at a price less than the conversion price or the exercise price and contain provisions limiting the holders right to convert or exercise if doing so would cause such holder and its affiliates to beneficially own more than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock.
On March 24, 2006, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with the purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”) and a First Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the Company raised $5,100,000 in gross cash proceeds from the sale to the Purchasers in a private placement of 4,250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $1.20 per share.

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
Laurus Master Fund, Ltd.
On March 24, 2004, we entered into a $1,750,000 financing transaction with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., a financial institution specializing in funding small and micro-capitalization companies. Under the financing agreements, we issued a $1,750,000 secured convertible term note at a fixed conversion price of $1.00 per share to Laurus. The loan has a term of three years and accrues interest at the greater of the prime rate of interest, currently 4% per year (as published in The Wall Street Journal), or 4% per year. Interest is payable monthly in arrears commencing on May 1, 2004, and on the first day of each consecutive calendar month after that date. Monthly amortization payments commence on October 1, 2004, at the rate of $58,333. The proceeds of the financing are being used for working capital. The interest rate of the note is subject to reduction in .25% increments on a month-by-month basis if specified conditions are met, including that the common stock underlying the conversion of the convertible term note and the warrant issued to Laurus are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and whether and to what extent the average price of our common stock exceeds the fixed conversion price. Laurus has the option to convert all or a portion of the term loan into shares of our common stock at any time, subject to specified limitations, at a fixed conversion price of $1.00 per share. The term loan is secured by a first priority security interest in our assets. In connection with the term loan, Laurus was paid a fee of $61,250 and received a seven-year warrant to purchase up to 300,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $1.25 per share to $1.75 per share. All stock conversion prices and exercise prices are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. The secured convertible term note and common stock purchase warrant issued by us to Laurus were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of that Act and Regulation D promulgated under that Act, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

Laurus waived each payment default that may have arisen under the Term Note, and we (i) paid to Laurus the interest accrued under the Term Note as of February 28, 2005 of $7,233, (ii) prepaid interest under the Term Note of $37,767 and (iii) issued a seven year warrant to Laurus to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of (x) $1.25 per share for the first 100,000 shares, (y) a price of $1.50 per share for the next 100,000 shares and (z) $1.75 per share for any additional shares acquired.

Consulting Agreement with C.C.R.I. Corporation
On May 17, 2004, we entered into a consulting agreement with C.C.R.I. Corporation for certain investor relations and development services.

The warrants issued by us were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of that Act and Regulation D promulgated under that Act.
Series A and Series B Units
On March 18, 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with two private investors to issue shares of our common stock and warrants. The Agreement provides for two types of units, designated as Series A and Series B.
The Series A Units each consist of 100,000 shares of our common stock and a Series A Warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The Series A Warrants expire five (5) years from the date they are issued. The purchase price for each Series A Unit is $80,000. The Agreement provides for the sale of up to twenty (20) Series A Units.
The Series B Units each consist of ten (10) shares of a new class of preferred stock that are convertible into 80,000 shares of our common stock in the aggregate, subject to adjustment, and a Series B Warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock at $1.50 per share. The Series B Warrants expire five (5) years from the date they are issued. The purchase price for each Series B Unit is $80,000. The securities purchase agreement provides for the sale of up to forty-two (42) Series B Units.
On March 18, 2005, the contract date, we issued 8 Series A Units or 800,000 shares of our common stock and Series A Warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $640,000. In connection with issuance of such Series A Units, 37,500 shares of common stock were issued to the investors’ counsel as reimbursement for their expenses. The common stock and warrants underlying such Series A Units and common stock issued to investors’ counsel were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of that Act and Regulation D promulgated under that Act.
On August 25, 2005, we closed on the sale of an additional Series A Unit or 100,000 shares of our common stock and Series A Warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $80,000. The common stock and warrants underlying such Series A Units issued by us were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of that Act and Regulation D promulgated under that Act. In connection with the sale of this unit, we entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement with the investors providing, among other things, that the investors would waive certain defaults under the securities purchase agreement in exchange for a reduction in the price of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants from $1.50 to $1.00 per share.
On January 26, 2006, we entered into the First Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 18, 2005. Pursuant to the amendment, the investors agreed to purchase the remaining Series A Units or 1,100,000 shares of our common stock and Series A Warrants to purchase 550,000 shares of our common stock for $580,000. The common stock and warrants underlying such Series A Units issued by us were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of that Act and Regulation D promulgated under that Act.
II - 2
On March 9, 2006, we entered into the Second Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement with the investors. Pursuant to the second amendment, one of the investors agreed to purchase three-tenths of one Series B unit, consisting of 3 shares of Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 12,000 shares of our common stock (the “Series B Warrant”), for an aggregate purchase price of $24,000. In addition, the investors have agreed to waive all existing defaults under the purchase agreement, including our failure to timely file a Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock and to timely issue common stock certificates and warrants. The Preferred Stock and warrants were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of that Act and Regulation D promulgated under that Act.
We and the investors also agreed to terminate all further obligations of the investors to purchase and our obligation to sell any remaining Series B units. The remaining Series B units would have consisted of 417 shares of Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 3,336,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 and of warrants to purchase 1,668,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Instead thereof, we agreed to issue to one of the investors warrants to purchase 5,004,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 (the “Series C Warrant”). The Series C Warrant, as well as the Preferred Stock and the Series B Warrant, are subject to anti-dilution provisions in the event that we issue shares of common stock at a price less than the conversion price or the exercise price and contain provisions limiting the holders right to convert or exercise if doing so would cause such holder and its affiliates to beneficially own more than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock. The Series C Warrants were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of that Act and Regulation D promulgated under that Act.
Consulting Agreement
On April 27, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement for the provision of certain advisory and business development services. As consideration for these services, we issued warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. The first 500,000 shares have an exercise price of $1.34 and the second 500,000 shares have an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The warrants were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of that Act and Regulation D promulgated under that Act.
March 2006 Private Placement
On March 24, 2006, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”) and a First Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the Company raised $5,100,000 in gross cash proceeds from the sale to the Purchasers of 4,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.20 per share.

Item 28. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
II - 3
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities, provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
