1. | Organization, Nature of Activities and Basis of Presentation |
STW Resources Holding Corp., (“STW” or the “Company”) is a development stage corporation formed to utilize state of the art water reclamation technologies to reclaim fresh water from highly contaminated oil and gas hydraulic fracture flow-back salt water that is produced in conjunction with the production of oil and gas. STW has been working to establish contracts with oil and gas operators for the deployment of multiple water reclamation systems throughout Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and the Appalachian Basin of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. STW, in conjunction with energy producers, operators, various state agencies and legislators, is working to create an efficient and economical solution to this complex problem. The Company is also evaluating the deployment of similar technology in the municipal wastewater industry.
The Company’s operations are located in the United States of America and the principal executive offices are located at 619 W. Texas Ave, Ste 126, Midland, TX 79701.
Effective January 17, 2010, the Company, through a Shareholder Consent of a majority of its shareholders, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with WoozyFly, Inc. ("WoozyFly"), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Nevada and its common shares were quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "WZYFQ", whereby a subsidiary of WoozyFly would merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation. WoozyFly, Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and the bankruptcy court approved a plan pursuant to which WoozyFly, through a subsidiary, acquired STW Resources, Inc. ("STW Resources") in a one for one exchange of 31,780,004 shares of common stock and securities of WoozyFly for all of the issued and outstanding voting capital stock of the Company, which allowed WoozyFly to exit bankruptcy.
On February 9, 2010, the Court entered an order confirming the Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Plan and the Merger was approved. The Plan was effective February 19, 2010 (the “Effective Date”). The principal provisions of the Plan were as follows:
· | MKM, the DIP Lender, received 400,000 shares of common stock and 2,140,000 shares of preferred stock; |
· | the holders of the Convertible Notes received 1,760,000 shares of common stock; |
· | general unsecured claims received 100,000 shares of common stock; and |
· | the Company’s equity interest was extinguished and cancelled. |
On February 12, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, STW Resources merged with and into an acquisition subsidiary, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In consideration for the Merger and STW Resources becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company issued an aggregate of 31,780,004 (the “STW Acquisition Shares”) shares of common stock to the shareholders of STW Resources at the closing of the merger and all derivative securities of STW Resources as of the Merger became derivative securities of the Company including options and warrants to acquire 12,613,002 shares of common stock at an exercise price ranging from $3.00 to $8.00 with an exercise period ranging from July 31, 2011 through November 12, 2014 and convertible debentures in the principal amount of $1,467,903 with a conversion price of $0.25 and maturity dates ranging from April 24, 2010 through November 12, 2010.
The par value of the exchanged shares changed from .00001 to .001. All share amounts presented throughout this document reflect this change in par value.
Considering that, following the merger, the shareholders of STW Resources control the majority of our outstanding voting common stock of the Company and effectively succeeded our otherwise minimal operations to those that are theirs, the Company is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction. A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of the Company’s securities for our net monetary assets, which are deminimus, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any goodwill or other intangible assets in connection with this reverse merger transaction.
Effective March 1, 2010, Woozyfly, Inc. changed its name to STW Global, Inc. in accordance with the Bankruptcy proceeding. On March 3, 2010, the Company changed its name to STW Resources Holding Corp. The name change was accomplished by merging a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into the Company resulting in the Company being the surviving Company and changing the name of the Company.
STW Resources Holding Corp. is the surviving and continuing entity and the historical financials following the reverse merger transaction are those of STW Resources. We were a "shell company" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately prior to our acquisition of STW pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. As a result of such acquisition, our operations are now focused on the provision of customized water reclamation services. Consequently, we believe that acquisition has caused us to cease to be a shell company as we no longer have nominal operations.
Status of Relationship with GE Water & Process Technologies
On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with GE Water & Process Technologies (“GE Water”) to terminate the purchase order and related teaming agreements to construct a water reclamation unit. The terms of the settlement agreement include GE Water retaining the water reclamation unit, forgiveness of the Company’s liability to GE Water associated with the water reclamation unit, and established a $1,400,000 note payable (“GE Note”) to GE Water. The GE Note bears interest at the WSJ prime rate plus 2% which is payable at maturity and matures at the sooner of 13 months or the Company shall pay to GE Water 30% of each future debt or equity offering of the Company until the note is paid in full.
Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company recorded a $5,329,624 loss on disposition of asset as a result of the write off of $13,992,988 of work in process and capitalized interest on the evaporator system from GE Water, $10,063,364 of accounts payable and accrued interest, as well as recording $1,400,000 of notes payable.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis related to substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue. The Company from Inception (January 28, 2008) through June 30, 2011, has not had any significant revenues. ��The Company has no significant operating history as of June 30, 2011, has accumulated losses of $16.9 million and negative cash flow from operations of $3.6 million since inception. From Inception (January 28, 2008) through June 30, 2011, management has raised net equity and debt financing of $10.3 million to fund operations and to provide working capital. However, there is no assurance that in the future such financing will be available to meet the Company’s needs.
Management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing; (b) executing contracts with oil and gas operators and municipal utility districts; and (c) controlling overhead and expenses. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.
In the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the Company may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures, which, in the Company’s opinion, are necessary for fair presentation. All such adjustments are of normal recurring nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods presented to conform with current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, STW Resources, Inc. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash. From time to time, the Company has cash in its bank accounts in excess of federally insured limits.
The Company anticipates entering into long-term, fixed-price contracts for its services with select oil and gas producers and municipal utilities. The Company will control credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable, including amounts due to and from related parties, approximate carrying values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation.”
There were no grants of employee stock options during the period from January 28, 2008 (date of inception) through June 30, 2011.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
The Company’s basic earnings per share (EPS) amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, which could occur if the above dilutive securities were exercised. As the Company realized a net loss for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, no potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.
Expenditures for major additions or improvements, which extend the useful lives of assets, are capitalized. Minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred. Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, which requires that long-lived assets held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of the long-lived assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC Topic 360 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less disposal costs.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
At inception (January 28, 2008), the Company implemented the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC Topic 740, which is intended to clarify the accounting for income taxes prescribing a minimum recognition threshold for a tax provision before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. This guidance also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result, the Company has concluded that it does not have any unrecognized tax benefits or any additional tax liabilities after applying this guidance. The adoption of this guidance therefore had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
2. | Property and Equipment |
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized total depreciation expense of $1,115 and $1,310 related to computer equipment, vehicles and furniture and fixtures which carry useful lives ranging from three to five years.
As discussed in Note 1, on August 31, 2010 the Company entered into a settlement agreement with GE Water to terminate the purchase order and related teaming agreements to construct a water reclamation unit. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the only balance recorded related to the water reclamation unit was the note payable to GE Water in the amount of $1,302,500, see Note 4.
3. | Joint Venture |
On August 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Aqua Verde, LLC (“AV”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, STW and AV agreed to collectively work together through the joint venture to procure water reclamation contracts with natural gas drilling companies in the states of Colorado and Texas. In addition, AV shall assign all of its existing master services agreements and master services contracts to the joint venture.
The joint venture is named Water Reclamation Partners, LLC, and is owned 51% by the Company and 49% by AV, with the Company having exclusive control and management of the business of the joint venture. In addition, a steering committee was established for the purpose of managing and directing the joint pursuits of the joint venture, and is comprised of two representatives from the Company and two representatives of AV. As of June 30, 2011, there have been no operations within the joint venture, and AV has not contributed the master services contracts to the joint venture, therefore the joint venture had no impact on the current consolidated financial statements.
4. | Notes Payable |
The Company’s notes payable at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, consisted of the following:

September 2008 Bridge Note and March 2009 Bridge Note
On September 29, 2008, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor (the “September 2008 Bridge Investor”) providing for the issuance by the Company to the September 2008 Bridge Investor of its 12% promissory note in the principal amount of $125,000 (the "September 2008 Bridge Note"). In addition to the September 2008 Bridge Note, the September 2008 Bridge Investor also received 62,500 shares of common stock of the Company. These shares of Common Stock were valued at an aggregate of $16,875, based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s Common Stock at that date. This amount was recorded as a discount to the September 2008 Bridge Note and was amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the notes.

Overview
The Company is a development stage corporation formed to utilize state of the art water reclamation technologies to reclaim fresh water from highly contaminated oil and gas hydraulic fracture flow-back salt water that is produced in conjunction with the production of oil and gas. The Company has been working to establish contracts with oil and gas operators for the deployment of multiple water reclamation systems throughout Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and the Appalachian Basin of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The Company, in conjunction with energy producers, operators, various state agencies and legislators, are working to create an efficient and economical solution to this complex problem. The Company is also evaluating the deployment of similar technology in the municipal wastewater industry.
The Company’s operations are located at 619 W. Texas Ave, Ste 126, Midland, TX 79701.
On January 17, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with STW Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, STW Resources, Inc. ("STW Resources") and certain shareholders of STW Resources controlling a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of STW Resources. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, STW Resources was merged into the Acquisition Sub resulting in an exchange of all of the issued and outstanding shares of STW Resources for shares of the Company on a one for one basis. At such time, STW Resources became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
On February 9, 2010, the Court entered an order confirming the Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Plan and the Merger was approved. The Plan was effective February 19, 2010 (the “Effective Date”). The principal provisions of the Plan were as follows:
· | MKM, the DIP Lender, received 400,000 shares of common stock and 2,140,000 shares of preferred stock; |
· | the holders of the Convertible Notes received 1,760,000 shares of common stock; |
· | general unsecured claims received 100,000 shares of common stock; and |
· | the Company’s equity interest was extinguished and cancelled. |
On February 12, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, STW Resources merged with and into Acquisition Sub, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In consideration for the Merger and STW Resources becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company issued an aggregate of 31,780,004 (the “STW Acquisition Shares”) shares of common stock to the shareholders of STW Resources at the closing of the merger. All derivative securities of STW Resources as of the Merger became derivative securities of the Company including options and warrants to acquire 12,613,002 shares of common stock at an exercise price ranging from $3.00 to $8.00 with an exercise period ranging from July 31, 2011 through November 12, 2014 and convertible debentures in the principal amount of $1,467,903 with a conversion price of $0.25 and maturity dates ranging from April 24, 2010 through November 12, 2010.
Considering that, following the merger, the shareholders of STW Resources control the majority of our outstanding voting common stock and we effectively succeeded our otherwise minimal operations to those that are theirs. STW Resources is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction. A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of STW Resources securities for our net monetary assets, which are deminimus, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, we have not recognized any goodwill or other intangible assets in connection with this reverse merger transaction. STW Resources is the surviving and continuing entities and the historical financials following the reverse merger transaction will be those of STW Resources. We were a "shell company" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately prior to our acquisition of STW Resources pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. As a result of such acquisition, our operations are now focused on the provision of customized water reclamation services. Consequently, we believe that acquisition has caused us to cease to be a shell company as we no longer have nominal operations.

In addition, it provides significant cross-marketing opportunities, as the generation business requires calls upon oil and gas producers for purchase of their stranded gas. Those same producers are also good prospects for the Company's water reclamation and treatment services.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
Revenue
The Company did not generate revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Expenses
Our expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $413,276, and consisted of legal and professional fees ($169,809), interest expense ($198,263), and ($45,204) in other administrative expenses. Our expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $846,783, and consisted of payroll and payroll taxes ($22,599), legal and professional fees ($255,898), interest expense ($526,722), and ($41,564) in other administrative expenses including travel to the prospective sites. The reason for the decrease in comparing the three months ended June 30, 2011 to the corresponding period for 2010 was mainly due to the decrease in interest expense on the GE evaporator as a result of the settlement.
Net loss
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $413,276 and $846,783, respectively. The reason for the decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2011 to the corresponding period for 2010 was mainly due to the decrease in interest expense on the GE evaporator as a result of the settlement.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
Revenue
The Company did not generate revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Our financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $120,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $334,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, which represents issuances of notes payable, less the related debt issuance costs.
Going Concern
The Company from Inception (January 28, 2008) through June 30, 2011, has not had any significant revenues. The Company has no significant operating history as of June 30, 2011, has accumulated losses of $16.9 million and negative cash flow from operations of $3.6 million since inception. From Inception (January 28, 2008) through June 30, 2011, management has raised net equity and debt financing of $10.3 million to fund operations and to provide working capital. However, there is no assurance that in the future such financing will be available to meet the Company’s needs.
Management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing; (b) executing contracts with oil and gas operators and municipal utility districts; and (c) controlling overhead and expenses. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.
In the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the Company may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Notes Payable
In January 2009 the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for the issuance of a 10% promissory note (“January 2009 Bridge Note”) in the principal amount of $50,000. In addition, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for the issuance of a 15% promissory note in the principal amount of $400,000.
In March 2009 the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with the September 2008 Bridge Investor providing for the rollover of the $125,000 principal amount outstanding under the 2008 September Bridge Note and advancing an additional $50,000.
In April 2009 the Company commenced an offering of its 12% Convertible Notes (“2009 12% Convertible Notes”). The convertible notes bear interest at 12% and are convertible at the option of the shareholder into shares of the Company’s common stock. Through December 31, 2009 the Company had issued a total of $740,000 face value of its 2009 12% Convertible Notes for cash.
On December 31, 2009, the Company entered into a new agreement (the “Deferred Compensation Note Agreement”) with holders of the Deferred Compensation Convertible Notes, who were also owed the accrued salaries of $327,713. Pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Note Agreement and in settlement of the Deferred Compensation Liabilities, liabilities of $323,735 were forgiven, converted liabilities of $844,746 to 3,379,024 shares of the Company’s common stock, using a conversion price of $0.25 which approximated the fair value of the Company’s common stock, and were issued $279,095 principal amount 10% notes maturing in 36 months ( the “Deferred Compensation Notes”). The forgiveness of the $323,735 was recorded as a reduction of salary expense.
In January 2010, the Company commenced an offering of its 12% Convertible Notes (the “2010 12% Convertible Notes”). Each 2010 12% Convertible Note is convertible, at any time at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The 2010 12% Convertible Notes bear interest at 12% per annum and mature 12 months from the date of issuance. For each 2010 12% Convertible Note purchased, each investor received a warrant to purchase up to such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to one-half of the face amount of the 2010 12% Convertible Note divided by the Conversion Price. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. Through December 31, 2010, the Company had issued a total of $705,000 face value of its 12% Convertible Notes for cash.
In connection with the issuance of the 2010 12% Convertible Notes, the Company had issued 1,410,000 Warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock to investors and an additional 169,200 Warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock to the agent, all on the terms set forth above. Using the Black Scholes pricing model, with volatility of 100%, a risk-free interest rate ranging from 0.81% to 1.65% and a 0% dividend yield, the warrants were determined to have a fair value of $140,942, with such value recorded as a discount to the 2010 12% Convertible Notes and to additional paid-in capital. This discount will be amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the indebtedness.
Equity Issuances
On January 28, 2008, the Company issued 8,100,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.0001 per share for total consideration of $81.
In April 2008, the Company designated the Series A Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share, and authorized the issuance of 100 shares to the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the Company issued 5,980,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.0445 per share for total consideration of $266,110. The Company then commenced a unit offering (the “$2.00 Unit Offering”) whereby each unit consisted of one share of the Company’s Common Stock and a warrant to acquire one and one-half share of the Company’s Common Stock as follows: (i) 0.5 shares at an exercise price equal to $3.00 per share, (ii) 0.5 shares at an exercise price equal to $4.00 per share, and (iii) 0.5 shares at an exercise price equal to $8.00 per share. Each Warrant is exercisable for three years from date of issue. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had sold an aggregate of 3,467,500 units for gross proceeds of $6.9 million.
The Company also issued 700,000 Common Shares for investment banking compensation associated with this offering. These shares were valued at an aggregate of $98,800, based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s Common Stock at that date.
In connection with the April 2008 Notes, the Company issued a total of 275,000 shares of Common Stock which were valued at an aggregate of $12,238, based upon the price of the Company’s shares of Common Stock issued under the most recent private placement offering prior to the issuance of the April 2008 Notes. Upon the extension of the April 2008 Notes in June 2008, the Company issued a total of 41,325 additional shares of Common Stock. These additional shares of Common Stock were valued at an aggregate of $11,157, based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s Common Stock at that date.
In connection with the September 2008 Bridge Note, the Company issued a total of 62,500 shares of Common Stock which were valued at an aggregate of $16,875, based upon the estimated fair value of the Company’s Common Stock at that date.
In connection with the CEO Bridge Note, the Company issued a total of 37,500 shares of Common Stock which were valued at an aggregate of $10,125, based upon the estimated fair value of the Company’s Common Stock at that date.
On September 30, 2009, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock as a donation to a private foundation, which were valued at an aggregated $50,000 based upon the estimated fair market value of the company’s stock at that date.
On December 31, 2009, the Company issued 3,379,024 shares of common stock in connection with the Employee Deferred Compensation Convertible Notes.
On December 8, 2010, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold 1,300,000 units (each a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one share of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and a warrant to purchase one share of our Common Stock (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) for total aggregate consideration of $325,000. The Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.50.
Stock Based Compensation
Since Inception (January 28, 2008), the Company issued 7.6 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock to directors, employees and certain consultants. As of June 30, 2011, 400,000 of these shares have been forfeited. During the period from Inception (January 28, 2008) through June 30, 2011, the Company recognized $1,146,293 in compensation cost associated with the issuance of these shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 the Company recognized compensation expense of $0 and $112,500 respectively. At June 30, 2011, the Company had no remaining compensation cost to be recognized related to these issuances.
Warrants
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had 17,123,853 warrants outstanding to acquire the Company’s Common Stock. As of June 30, 2010 the Company had 14,099,939 warrants outstanding to acquire the Company’s Common Stock.
Presently, due to the lack of revenue we are not able to meet our operating and capital expenses. The success of our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon successful permitting of our sites, obtaining customers for water reclamation services, and maintaining a break even or profitable level of operations. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely to continue through the fourth quarter of 2011.
The financial requirements of our Company will be dependent upon the financial support through credit facilities and additional sales of our equity securities. The issuance of additional equity securities by us may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current shareholders. Should additional financing be needed for our continued operations we will need to obtain it on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
We can give no assurance that we will be successful in implementing any phase of the proposed business plan, or that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Credit Facility
Presently we have no revolving Credit Facility established. If needed, it will be necessary to establish a line of credit and it will need to be on favorable terms.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following accounting principles and practices of STW are set forth to facilitate the understanding of data presented in the consolidated financial statements:
Nature of Operations
The Company is a development stage corporation formed to utilize state of the art water reclamation technologies to reclaim fresh water from highly contaminated oil and gas hydraulic fracture flow-back salt water that is produced in conjunction with the production of oil and gas. The Company has been working to establish contracts with oil and gas operators for the deployment of multiple water reclamation systems throughout Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and the Appalachian Basin of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The Company, in conjunction with energy producers, operators, various state agencies and legislators, are working to create an efficient and economical solution to this complex problem. STW is also evaluating the deployment of similar technology in the municipal wastewater industry, the Acid Mine Drainage polluted water problems in the northeastern United States, and brackish aquifer reclamation for reuse.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash. From time to time, the Company has cash in its bank accounts in excess of federally insured limits.
The Company anticipates entering into long-term, fixed-price contracts for its services with select oil and gas producers and municipal utilities. The Company will control credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.
Expenditures for major additions or improvements, which extend the useful lives of assets, are capitalized. Minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred. Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable, including amounts due to and from related parties, approximate carrying values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Stock Based Compensation
The Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The effective date for the Company’s application of ASC Topic 718 was January 28, 2008 (date of inception).
There were no grants of employee options during the period from January 28, 2008 (date of inception) through June 30, 2011. There were no unvested options outstanding as of the date of the Company’s adoption of ASC Topic 718.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
The Company’s basic earnings per share (EPS) amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, which could occur if the above dilutive securities were exercised. As the Company realized a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, no potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, which requires that long-lived assets held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of the long-lived assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC Topic 360 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less disposal costs.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse
At inception (January 28, 2008), the Company implemented the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC Topic 740, which is intended to clarify the accounting for income taxes prescribing a minimum recognition threshold for a tax provision before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. This guidance also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result, the Company has concluded that it does not have any unrecognized tax benefits or any additional tax liabilities after applying this guidance. The adoption of this guidance therefore had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
Since we are a company that qualifies as a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under Rule 12b-2, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended the "Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the six months ended June 30, 2011, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
