Note 1. Nature of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies | ' | ||||||||||||||||
History of the Company | |||||||||||||||||
STW Resources Holding Corp. (“STW”) or the “Company”, (f/k/a Woozyfly Inc. and STW Global Inc.) is a 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 3424 South County Road 1192, Midland, TX 79706. | |||||||||||||||||
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 STW Resources, Inc. (“STW Sub”) and certain shareholders of STW controlling a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of STW. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, STW merged into the Acquisition Sub resulting in an exchange of all of the issued and outstanding shares of STW for shares of the Company on a one for one basis. At such time, STW became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. | |||||||||||||||||
On February 9, 2010, the Federal Bankuptcy Court handling a bankruptcy proceeding for our predecessor at the time, 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 merged with and into Acquisition Sub, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In consideration for the Merger and STW 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 at the closing of the Merger and all derivative securities of STW 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. | |||||||||||||||||
Consolidation policy | |||||||||||||||||
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, STW Resources, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company also consolidates any variable interest entities (VIEs), of which it is the primary beneficiary, as defined. The Company does not have any VIEs that need to be consolidated at this time. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts a significant influence over the entity, the Company would apply the equity method of accounting. | |||||||||||||||||
Reclassifications | |||||||||||||||||
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. There was no change to reported net loss. | |||||||||||||||||
Going Concern | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $20,370,217 since inception. Since its inception in January 2008 through March 31, 2013, management has raised equity and debt financing of approximately $11,000,000 to fund operations and provide working capital. The cash resources of the Company are insufficient to meet its planned business objectives without additional financing. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. | |||||||||||||||||
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. | |||||||||||||||||
The accompanying condensed 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 classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations. At March 31, 2013, the Company had no cash on hand; however, the Company raised $2,512,032 of debt and $865,000 of equity during the period April 1, 2013 through February 10, 2014, to sustain its operations. Management expects that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations for the next three months. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt or equity securities for cash to operate our business, No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, and that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case or equity financing. | |||||||||||||||||
Development Stage Enterprise | |||||||||||||||||
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company was a development stage company as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company realized $541,000 of revenues from its water treatment business and, the Company has expanded its oil services business offerings. Revenues commenced January 1, 2013, accordingly, as of January 1, 2013, the Company is no longer a development stage company. | |||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||||||||||
Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, management has estimated the collectability of its accounts receivable, the assumptions used to calculate its derivative liabilities, and equity instruments issued for financing and compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | |||||||||||||||||
A financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company places its cash with financial institutions deemed by management to be of high credit quality. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) provides basic deposit coverage with limits to $250,000 per owner. At March 31, 2013, there were no uninsured deposits. | |||||||||||||||||
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. | |||||||||||||||||
As of March 31, 2013, two vendors accounted for 36% and 23%of total accounts payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, one vendor accounted for 100% of total purchases. | |||||||||||||||||
As of March 31, 2013, one customer accounts for 100% of accounts receivable. During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, one customer accounted for 100% of total revenues. | |||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and derivative liabilities. The carrying value for all such instruments except convertible notes payable and derivative liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company cannot determine the estimated fair value of its convertible notes payable as instruments similar to the convertible notes payable could not be found. Our derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value (see Note 5). | |||||||||||||||||
We determine the fair value of our financial instruments based on a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements under which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy: | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities. Currently, we do not have any items classified as Level 1. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Currently, we do not have any items classified as Level 2. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and involve management judgment. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) to determine the fair value of the financial instruments. | |||||||||||||||||
If the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, a financial security’s hierarchy level is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. | |||||||||||||||||
Our derivative liabilities consist of embedded conversion features on debt, price protection features on warrants, and derivatives due to insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts which are carried at fair value, and are classified as Level 3 liabilities. We use Black-Scholes to determine the fair value of these instruments (see Note 5). | |||||||||||||||||
Management has used the Black Scholes Merton model to estimate fair value of derivative instruments. Management believes that as a result of the relatively short term nature of the warrants and convertibility features, a lattice model would not result in a materially different valuation. | |||||||||||||||||
The following table presents certain financial instruments measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||||

December 31, 2012 | 1,046,439 | 1,046,439 | |||||||||||||||
Accounting for Derivatives Liabilities | |||||||||||||||||
The Company evaluates stock options, stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 815-40, “ Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity ” (“ASC Topic 815-40”). The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. | |||||||||||||||||
Certain of the Company’s embedded conversion features on debt, price protection features on outstanding common stock purchase, warrants, and derivative liabilities due to insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts are treated as derivatives for accounting purposes. The common stock purchase warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset or liability. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised, expire or the related rights have been waived. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market. The Company estimates the fair value of these warrants and embedded conversion features as derivative liabilities contracts using Black-Scholes (see Note 5). | |||||||||||||||||
Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services | |||||||||||||||||
Issuances of the Company’s common stock for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates. | |||||||||||||||||
Long-lived Assets and Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||||||
In accordance with ASC 350-30 (formerly SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company had no such asset impairments at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products under development will continue. Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||||||||||||
Contract Revenue and Cost Recognition on Engineering and Design Services | |||||||||||||||||
During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company completed a contract to design, build and deliver a proprietary water desalinization facility to produce 700,000 gallons of water a day by converting brackish well water into the equivalent of rain water to maintain the greens and fairways of the Ranchland Hills Golf Club in Midland, Texas. As of December 31, 2012, the Company reported deferred revenue of $97,346, which is net of deferred costs of $436,544 related to this contract. These revenues and costs were recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 upon completion of the contract and acceptance of the desalinization facility. | |||||||||||||||||
Business Segments | |||||||||||||||||
The Company currently has one operating business segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||||||||
In accordance with ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company established a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset in the future tax periods. Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on its condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively, and has not recognized interest and/or penalties in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
Common Stock and Common Stock Warrants Issued to Employees | |||||||||||||||||
The Company uses the fair value recognition provision of ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to calculate the fair value of warrants on the grant date. | |||||||||||||||||
At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no grants of employee common stock options or warrants outstanding. | |||||||||||||||||
Income (Loss) per Share | |||||||||||||||||
The basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted average number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity securities. Diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had 105,114,371 common stock equivalents which have been excluded as their effect is anti-dilutive. | |||||||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | |||||||||||||||||
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated or amortized on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: | |||||||||||||||||
Computer equipment and software | 3 years | ||||||||||||||||
Furniture | 3 years | ||||||||||||||||
Machinery | 3-5 years | ||||||||||||||||
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | |||||||||||||||||
Recent accounting standards did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income (loss) as defined by ASC 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” For the three months ended March 31, 2013, comprehensive income (loss) consists only of net loss and, therefore, a Statement of Other Comprehensive Loss has not been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Note 3. Investment in Black Wolf, LLC | ' |
On January 8, 2013, the Company and Black Pearl Energy, LLC ("BPE"), an entity controlled by Stan Weiner and Lee Maddox, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, entered into an equity exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which BPE transferred 10% of the outstanding membership interests of Black Wolf Enterprises, LLC, (“Black Wolf”) to the Company in exchange for 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the "Pearl Shares"). The Pearl Shares, although supposed to be issued after we amended our articles of incorporation to increase our authorized share capital, were never issued. Other than the Pearl Shares, the Exchange Agreement did not obligate STW to provide any other assets or commitments in consideration of the transaction contemplated thereby. The transaction contemplated by the Agreement - the transfer of ownership in Black Wolf - closed on January 8, 2013. At the time of the Exchange Agreement, Black Wolf commercialized the expertise and services of Lone Wolf Resources, LLC, an environmental and civil construction company operating in the oil and gas industry (“Lone Wolf”). Lone Wolf has worked with the Department of Transportation and the Texas Commission on environmental quality to shape the standards for processing hydrocarbon-impacted soils to a reusable road base. Lone Wolf has completed projects internationally and throughout the United States, including the world's largest in-situ thermal remediation project. BPE is an oilfield service company that has developed an evaporation cover that is conservation friendly, economical and can be floated on to existing ponds or installed during construction for the elimination of evaporation on frac ponds used throughout the oilfield. BPE also provides high quality liners with fusion-welded seams, quality control testing including air tests of seams and destruction testing in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico, and intends to expand into South Texas during the first quarter of next year. Black Wolf combines Lone Wolf’s and BPE’s services and constructs drill sites, reserve pits, frac ponds, roads, pit closings, liners, leak detection systems, evaporation covers, and provides associated maintenance. Black Wolf also offers turnkey services for H-11 permitted ponds, including surveys, engineering and design, and permitting for storage of produced and brine waters as well as utilizes proprietary technologies employed by Lone Wolf in the reclamation of hydrocarbon-impacted soils. Black Wolf is currently negotiating on a number of multi-well packages with many of the largest oil and gas producers in West Texas. After 4 months of operations, Lone Wolf initiated their termination clause with Black Pearl and Black Wolf. As a result, Black Wolf was dissolved and we sought to terminate the Exchange Agreement since our investment would no longer be of any value. | |
The 7,000,000 shares to be issued to Black Pearl Energy, LLC, were valued at $420,000 based on the stock closing price of $0.06 on January 8, 2013. Since the Company did not have adequate share authorization to issue 7,000,000 shares, the $420,000 value of the shares were included as Payable to Related Party, Black Pearl Energy, LLC. |

On May 7, 2012, GE informed the Company that it had failed to make any required installment payment that was due and payable under the GE Note and that the Company’s failure to make any such installment payment(s) constituted an Event of Default under the GE Note. Pursuant to the terms of the GE Note, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default for any reason whatsoever, GE shall, among other things, have the right to (a) cure such defaults, with the result that all costs and expenses incurred or paid by GE in effecting such cure shall bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law, and shall be payable upon demand; and (b) accelerate the maturity of the GE Note and demand the immediate payment thereof, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind.

During February 2012, the Company issued to certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) revenue participation interest notes with a principal amount of $165,000 (the “March 2012 Notes”). These March 2012 Notes mature on January 31, 2017 and carry an interest rate of 12%. Principal and interest payments shall come solely from the Investors share of the revenue participation fees from water processing contracts related to brackish and/or produced water. The Investors shall receive 50% of the net revenues from such contracts until such time as they have received two times their investment amount and 10% of the net revenues thereafter until such time as they have received an additional $295,000 at which time the March 2012 Notes are retired in full. The Investors received warrants to purchase 165,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $0.20, are immediately exercisable and a two year maturity. The Company incurred cash fees of $16,500 which is recorded as a loan origination fee and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized to interest expense, and issued 16,500 warrants under the same terms as those received by the Investors.

The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following variables: annual dividend yield of 0%; expected life of 2 years; risk free rate of return of 0.33%; expected volatility of 100%.

Thereafter, all further Revenue Fees shall cease and this Agreement shall be terminated in all respects. | |||||||||

Note 5. Derivative Liability | ' | ||||||||||||
We apply the accounting standard that provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The standard applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. | |||||||||||||
From time to time, the Company has issued notes with embedded conversion features and warrants to purchase common stock. Certain of the embedded conversion features and warrants contain price protection or anti-dilution features that result in these instruments being treated as derivatives, or there were insufficient shares to satisfy the exercise of the instruments. | |||||||||||||
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company used a volatility rate of 100% to value its derivative instruments. This 100% volatility rate was based on management’s estimate of volatility due to the limited trading history of the Company and the fact that it was a development stage company. During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company computed a historical volatility of 623% using daily pricing observations for recent periods. We applied a historical volatility rate during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and future periods, since the Company exited its development stage and commenced commercial operations. We believe this method produces an estimate that is representative of our expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants and embedded conversion features. | |||||||||||||
We currently have no reason to believe that future volatility over the expected remaining life of these warrants and embedded conversion features is likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The expected life is based on the remaining term of the warrants and embedded conversion features. The risk-free interest rate is based on one-year to five-year U.S. Treasury securities consistent with the remaining term of the warrants and embedded conversion features. | |||||||||||||
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the following are the significant weighted average assumptions used for estimating the fair value of derivative instruments: | |||||||||||||

The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. However, as of the date of this Report, no such shares are issued or outstanding and the Company does not currently have any plans to issue shares of such stock. | |||||||||||||||||
Effective February 24, 2009, the Company acquired, and retired, from its former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the 100 shares of Series A preferred stock then outstanding, in exchange for a commitment by the Company to issue its former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer a warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $8.00 per share, with a five-year exercise period. | |||||||||||||||||
On March 7, 2013, the Company filed a certificate of designation to its articles of incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada whereby it designated 210,000 shares of preferred stock as series A-1 preferred stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”). Except as otherwise expressly required by law, each holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the Company and shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock deliverable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock owned at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of common stock on all matters and shall not vote as a separate class. | |||||||||||||||||
The Series A-1 Preferred Stock pays dividends of 16% per annum (10% cash and 6% paid-in-kind), payable quarterly in arrears. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) the dividend rate shall increase to eighteen percent (18%) per annum, of which 12% is payable in cash and 6% paid-in-kind, until such time as the Event of Default is cured. Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock has a stated value equal to $2.40 per share and is initially convertible at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.12 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The conversion price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is subject to weighted average price adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, subject to certain exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion, such Holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of the common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by the applicable holder. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount equal to two (2) times the original purchase price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, plus all declared and unpaid dividends. | |||||||||||||||||
Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into common stock, at the then applicable conversion price, upon the earlier to occur of (i) the closing share price of the Company’s common stock being at least $0.75 for 10 consecutive trading days, or (ii) the affirmative consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Company may, at any time, and upon providing a 30 days written notice, require the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to sell all of their shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at a redemption price payable in cash equal to the sum of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid dividends, if any, multiplied by a factor such that each Holder receives an annualized return of 20%. In addition, each holder of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock may, at their option upon certain events, require the Company to purchase all of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by such holder at a price payable in cash equal to the sum of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid dividends, if any, multiplied by a factor such that each holder receives an annualized return of 20%. | |||||||||||||||||

Indemnities and Guarantees | |
In addition to the indemnification provisions contained in the Company’s charter documents, the Company will generally enter into separate indemnification agreements with the Company’s directors and officers. These agreements require the Company, among other things, to indemnify the director or officer against specified expenses and liabilities, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by the individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the individual’s status or service as the Company’s director or officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that is knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, and to advance expenses incurred by the individual in connection with any proceeding against the individual with respect to which the individual may be entitled to indemnification by the Company. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | |

Viewpoint Securities, LLC Arbitration. On or about July 9, 2012, the Company and Stan Weiner, the Company's chief executive officer, received a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. The demand was filed by Viewpoint Securities LLC ("VP"), who entered into that certain engagement agreement, dated March 9, 2008, as amended on March 9, 2008, November 10, 2008, January 1, 2009, February 5, 2010, and December 1, 2010, pursuant to which the Company retained VP to act as its financial and capital markets advisor regarding equity and debt introduced by VP to the Company. The demand alleges breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealings, negligence prayer for commissions and expenses incurred by VP in its efforts to provide introductions and attempt to provide financing to the Company from March 9, 2008 through February 2, 2012, the date of termination of the Agreement. VP seeks, among other things, $216,217 and a warrant to purchase 566,667 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company believes that it has valid defenses and intends to contest these claims vigorously. On August 18, 2012, VP dismissed Stan Weiner from the claim with prejudice. On February 5, 2013, the Company caused an answer to the complaint to be filed on behalf of the Company, denying the allegations and asserting, among other things, the course of business conduct, lack of FINRA status post termination and recognition of third party entitlement to amounts owed. The arbitration has gone through the discovery phase and a final hearing was held on February 03, 2014. As of February 10, 2014, the arbitrator has not issued a ruling on this matter. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect $202,727 of this liability. | |
GE Ionics, Inc. Lawsuit. On May 22, 2013, GE filed a lawsuit against STW in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Index No. 651832/2013 (the “GE Lawsuit”). Although the lawsuit arises out of STW’s obligations to GE under its Settlement Agreement with GE (described more fully in Item 4 Debt, GE Ionics), upon which STW owed GE $2.1 million plus interest, GE has elected to forgo suit on the settlement amount and sue STW for the original debt of $11,239,437, plus interest and attorneys’ fees (the “Original Debt”). As such, STW filed its Answer and asserted that it is entitled to and shall pursue all of its available legal and equitable defenses to the Original Debt, inasmuch as GE has, among other things, failed to discount the Original Debt sued upon by the amounts that it recovered through re-use and re-sale of the equipment it fabricated for STW. Management has not accrued the original amount of the debt because the probability of recovery is remote. | |
Marcus Muller and Roy Beach Promissory Notes.

Since that date, the Company has made many payments to Muller and Beach, and the Company is confident this matter will be resolved. |

Although we continue to seek consent from the remaining note holders, there can be no assurance that we will receive it from any or all of these holders. The notes provide us with a 30 day cure period, but if we are unable to pay the notes when they become due, the note holders maintain the right to demand immediate payment of all outstanding principal and interest or maintain the note at an increased default interest rate of 18% per annum until we remedy the default. If we do not receive consent to extend the maturity date of the notes from the remaining note holders, the notes are not converted into equity or we do not otherwise restructure such debt, our current operations do not generate sufficient cash to pay the interest and principal on these obligations when they become due. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to pay these or other obligations which we may incur in the future. | |||||||||||||||
Default on 14% convertible notes payable | |||||||||||||||
On November 30, 2013, $98,260 of the Company’s 14% convertible notes payable matured and are in default. During January 2014, a holder of $25,000 of these 14% convertible notes payable converted the note into 312,500 of the Company’s common stock, reducing the principal balance of 14% notes payable in default to $73,260. | |||||||||||||||
14% convertible notes Paid In Kind “PIK” interest offering | |||||||||||||||
As part of our effort to free up critical capital necessary to carry out our business plans and increase shareholder value, the Company has recently received consent from certain of its outstanding note holders to receive accrued interest in shares of our common stock (the "PIK Shares"), rather than in cash as required by related note agreement. Upon consent, the PIK Shares are being issued at the rate of $0.08 per share. As of the date of this Report, we have agreed to issue a total of 6,004,619 PIK Shares to those note holders who have consented to receiving same. As of the date of this Report, we have outstanding accrued interest in the amount of $751,428 for which we are seeking consent to pay in PIK Shares, to which if we receive consent, would require us to issue an additional 3,388,229 PIK Shares. | |||||||||||||||
Issuance of Common Stock | |||||||||||||||
On June 6, 2013, the Company issued 1,103,500 shares of its common stock valued at $66,209 as conversion of $21,966 of principal and interest on its 14% convertible notes payable. | |||||||||||||||
On September 16, 2013, the Company issued 5,043,750 shares of its common stock in payment of accrued board of directors and advisory board fees. These shares were issued at a value of $302,625 based on the value on September 16, 2013, the date of issuance. | |||||||||||||||
On September 16, 2013, the Company issued 2,100,000 shares of its Common stock in payment of accrued consulting fees. These shares were issued at a value of $0.10 per share based on the value on March 5, 2013, the date that the board of directors approved the payment in shares. At the time of the March 5, 2013, board action to approve the payment of the accrued fees in stock, the Company did not have adequate shares authorized to settle the contracts so the issuance of shares was delayed until September 16, 2013. These shares were issued on September 16, 2013, at a value at the time of issuance of $126,000, resulting in reduction of accrued consulting fees of $84,000. | |||||||||||||||
Between October 7, 2013 and January 31, 2014, the Company issued 4,400,000 of its common shares to consultants for services rendered. During this period the Company also issued 2,300,000 shares as signing bonuses pursuant to employment contracts, 2,000,000 of which were issued to the Company’s vice president of operations and 300,000 of which were issued by the Company to the president of one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, STW Pipeline Maintenance & Construction LLC, pursuant to the terms of such persons contract with STW Pipeline Maintenance & Construction LLC. | |||||||||||||||
Unit offering of Common Shares | |||||||||||||||
Between November 22, 2013 and February 10, 2014, we sold an aggregate of 5,312,500 units pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to eleven (11) accredited investors (the "Investors"), each consisting of (a) one share of common stock and (b) one, 2 year, common stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, subject to adjustment (the "Warrants," collectively with the shares of common stock, the "Units"). Each Unit had a purchase price of $0.08, and the Company received an aggregate of $425,000 in gross funding in the transaction (the "Offering"). | |||||||||||||||
The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Company and the investors which are customary for transactions of this type such as, with respect to the Company: organization, good standing and qualification to do business, capitalization, subsidiaries, authorization and enforceability of the transaction and transaction documents; valid issuance of stock, consents being obtained or not required to consummate the transaction, litigation, compliance with securities laws; and no brokers used, and with respect to the investors: authorization, accredited investor status and investment intent. |

Organization, Nature of Activities and Basis of Presentation | ' | ||||||||||||||||
History of the Company | |||||||||||||||||
STW Resources Holding Corp. (“STW”) or the “Company”, (f/k/a Woozyfly Inc. and STW Global Inc.) is a 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 3424 South County Road 1192, Midland, TX 79706. | |||||||||||||||||
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 STW Resources, Inc. (“STW Sub”) and certain shareholders of STW controlling a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of STW. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, STW merged into the Acquisition Sub resulting in an exchange of all of the issued and outstanding shares of STW for shares of the Company on a one for one basis. At such time, STW became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. | |||||||||||||||||
On February 9, 2010, the Federal Bankuptcy Court handling a bankruptcy proceeding for our predecessor at the time, 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 merged with and into Acquisition Sub, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In consideration for the Merger and STW 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 at the closing of the Merger and all derivative securities of STW 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. | |||||||||||||||||
Consolidation Policy | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, STW Resources, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company also consolidates any variable interest entities (VIEs), of which it is the primary beneficiary, as defined. The Company does not have any VIEs that need to be consolidated at this time. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts a significant influence over the entity, the Company would apply the equity method of accounting. | |||||||||||||||||
Reclassification | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. There was no change to reported net loss. | |||||||||||||||||
Going Concern | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $20,370,217 since inception. Since its inception in January 2008 through March 31, 2013, management has raised equity and debt financing of approximately $11,000,000 to fund operations and provide working capital. The cash resources of the Company are insufficient to meet its planned business objectives without additional financing. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. | |||||||||||||||||
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. | |||||||||||||||||
The accompanying condensed 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 classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations. At March 31, 2013, the Company had no cash on hand; however, the Company raised $2,512,032 of debt and $865,000 of equity during the period April 1, 2013 through February 10, 2014, to sustain its operations. Management expects that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations for the next three months. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt or equity securities for cash to operate our business, No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, and that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case or equity financing. | |||||||||||||||||
Development Stage Enterprise | ' | ||||||||||||||||
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company was a development stage company as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company realized $541,000 of revenues from its water treatment business and, the Company has expanded its oil services business offerings. Revenues commenced January 1, 2013, accordingly, as of January 1, 2013, the Company is no longer a development stage company. | |||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, management has estimated the collectability of its accounts receivable, the assumptions used to calculate its derivative liabilities, and equity instruments issued for financing and compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | ' | ||||||||||||||||
A financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company places its cash with financial institutions deemed by management to be of high credit quality. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) provides basic deposit coverage with limits to $250,000 per owner. At March 31, 2013, there were no uninsured deposits. | |||||||||||||||||
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. | |||||||||||||||||
As of March 31, 2013, two vendors accounted for 36% and 23%of total accounts payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, one vendor accounted for 100% of total purchases. | |||||||||||||||||
As of March 31, 2013, one customer accounts for 100% of accounts receivable. During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, one customer accounted for 100% of total revenues. | |||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and derivative liabilities. The carrying value for all such instruments except convertible notes payable and derivative liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company cannot determine the estimated fair value of its convertible notes payable as instruments similar to the convertible notes payable could not be found. Our derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value (see Note 5). | |||||||||||||||||
We determine the fair value of our financial instruments based on a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements under which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy: | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities. Currently, we do not have any items classified as Level 1. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Currently, we do not have any items classified as Level 2. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and involve management judgment. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) to determine the fair value of the financial instruments. | |||||||||||||||||
If the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, a financial security’s hierarchy level is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. | |||||||||||||||||
Our derivative liabilities consist of embedded conversion features on debt, price protection features on warrants, and derivatives due to insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts which are carried at fair value, and are classified as Level 3 liabilities. We use Black-Scholes to determine the fair value of these instruments (see Note 5). | |||||||||||||||||
Management has used the Black Scholes Merton model to estimate fair value of derivative instruments. Management believes that as a result of the relatively short term nature of the warrants and convertibility features, a lattice model would not result in a materially different valuation. | |||||||||||||||||
The following table presents certain financial instruments measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||

Accounting for Derivatives Liabilities | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The Company evaluates stock options, stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 815-40, “ Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity ” (“ASC Topic 815-40”). The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. | |||||||||||||||||
Certain of the Company’s embedded conversion features on debt, price protection features on outstanding common stock purchase, warrants, and derivative liabilities due to insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts are treated as derivatives for accounting purposes. The common stock purchase warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset or liability. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised, expire or the related rights have been waived. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market. The Company estimates the fair value of these warrants and embedded | |||||||||||||||||
Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Issuances of the Company’s common stock for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates. | |||||||||||||||||
Long-lived Assets and Intangible Assets | ' | ||||||||||||||||
In accordance with ASC 350-30 (formerly SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company had no such asset impairments at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products under development will continue. Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Contract Revenue and Cost Recognition on Engineering and Design Services | |||||||||||||||||
During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company completed a contract to design, build and deliver a proprietary water desalinization facility to produce 700,000 gallons of water a day by converting brackish well water into the equivalent of rain water to maintain the greens and fairways of the Ranchland Hills Golf Club in Midland, Texas. As of December 31, 2012, the Company reported deferred revenue of $97,346, which is net of deferred costs of $436,544 related to this contract. These revenues and costs were recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 upon completion of the contract and acceptance of the desalinization facility. | |||||||||||||||||
Business Segments | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The Company currently has one operating business segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | ' | ||||||||||||||||
In accordance with ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company established a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset in the future tax periods. Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on its condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively, and has not recognized interest and/or penalties in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
Common Stock and Common Stock Warrants Issued to Employees | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The Company uses the fair value recognition provision of ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to calculate the fair value of warrants on the grant date. | |||||||||||||||||
At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no grants of employee common stock options or warrants outstanding. | |||||||||||||||||
Income (Loss) per Share | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted average number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity securities. Diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had 105,114,371 common stock equivalents which have been excluded as their effect is anti-dilutive. | |||||||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated or amortized on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: | |||||||||||||||||
Computer equipment and software | 3 years | ||||||||||||||||
Furniture | 3 years | ||||||||||||||||
Machinery | 3-5 years | ||||||||||||||||
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Recent accounting standards did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income (loss) as defined by ASC 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” For the three months ended March 31, 2013, comprehensive income (loss) consists only of net loss and, therefore, a Statement of Other Comprehensive Loss has not been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. |
