FORM 10-Q/A FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2005
INDEX

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A amends and restates certain disclosure items in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, which we originally filed on August 15, 2005.
On February 7, 2006, the Company received comments from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005. In connection with the receipt of these comments, the Company determined that its policy for recording equity compensation was inconsistent with the guidance set forth under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R). Historically, the Company has calculated the compensation expense associated with equity awards using the Black-Scholes model and amortized that expense over the service period as the equity awards vest, commencing with the first vesting dates of the awards. To fully comply with the guidance set forth in SFAS No. 123(R), the Company is now recording such expense on a straight line basis over the relevant service periods, commencing with the dates of grant of the awards. On February 9, 2006, following an analysis of the impact of this error on the Company’s previously released financial statements, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determined that it was necessary to restate the financial statements contained in the Company’s original annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005 and the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2005.
Accordingly, this quarterly report on form 10-Q/A includes our restated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2005, and for the period from June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2005 with accompanying notes.
Except for the foregoing restated information, this quarterly report on form 10-Q/A continues to describe conditions as of the date of the original filing and we have not updated the disclosures contained herein to reflect events that occurred at a later date. Other events occurring after the original filing or other disclosures necessary to reflect subsequent events have been addressed in reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date of the original filing.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A sets forth the original filing in its entirety; however, as a result of the restatement of the Company’s financial statements described above, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A only amends or restates the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 1 of Part I of the original filing, the disclosures in Items 2 and 4 of Part I of the original filing to reflect the restatement described above. In each case, the amendment or restatement was made solely as a result of the items discussed in Note 2 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and no other information in the original filing is amended hereby. In addition, we have included as exhibits to this amendment new certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “PDTI”) and its subsidiary, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s September 30, 2004 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Operating results for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2005.
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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period amounts to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss, earnings per share, or stockholders’ equity.
2. RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The historical information for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2005, and for the period from June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2005, have been restated after determining that the Company’s policy of recording stock-based employee compensation upon vesting of the underlying equity award was inconsistent with the guidelines set forth under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.
On February 7, 2006, the Company received comments from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005. In connection with the receipt of these comments, the Company determined that its policy for recording equity compensation was inconsistent with the guidance set forth under SFAS No. 123(R). Historically, the Company has calculated the compensation expense associated with equity awards using the Black-Scholes model and amortized that expense over the service period as the equity awards vest, commencing with the first vesting dates of the awards. To fully comply with the guidance set forth in SFAS No. 123(R), the Company is now recording such expense on a straight line basis over the relevant service periods, commencing with the dates of grant of the awards. On February 9, 2006, following an analysis of the impact of this error on the Company’s previously released financial statements, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determined that it was necessary to restate the financial statements contained in the Company’s original annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005 and the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2005.
As a result of the restatement, net loss for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2005, and for the period from June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2005 was increased by $125,033.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. APB No. 20 required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This statement requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The provisions of SFAS 154 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. As such we are required to adopt SFAS 154 by October 1, 2006. We do not expect this statement to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
4. REVERSE ACQUISITION WITH MEDXLINK, CORP
On July 14, 2004, MedXLink, Corp. (“MXLK”, or the “Parent”), a Nevada corporation and an inactive publicly-traded company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“PDTI-DE”), whereby MXLK agreed to acquire PDTI-DE by merging PDTI Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MXLK, with and into
13
PDTI-DE and issuing common stock of MXLK in exchange for all the outstanding shares of PDTI-DE. On January 14, 2005, MXLK closed its acquisition of PDTI-DE and issued 16,698,094 shares of common stock (including 3,381,538 shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the same number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of PDTI-DE) to holders of common stock of PDTI-DE and reserved for issuance (1) 228,000 shares of common stock pursuant to outstanding warrants to purchase common stock of PDTI-DE, and (2) 3,205,000 shares of common stock pursuant to outstanding options to purchase common stock of PDTI-DE. In addition, 1,342,404 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Parent were cancelled for no consideration in connection with the Merger. Following the merger, the Parent had 18,248,094 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (which included 3,381,538 shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the same number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of PDTI-DE) and an additional 3,433,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of warrants and options as described above. Following the merger, PDTI-DE continued as the surviving corporation under the name of Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc. as a subsidiary of Parent, the Parent changed its name to Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc., and its stock trading symbol changed from MXLK.OB to PDRT.OB. On June 28, 2005, the Company’s shares began trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol PDRT.
5. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The Company has presented basic and diluted net loss per share pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive net loss per share would give effect to the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents consisting of options and warrants. Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the net loss per common share calculation as the effects would be antidilutive. Potentially dilutive securities totaling 5,653,000 and 2,815,000 for the periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were not included in the computation of weighted average diluted common shares because the impact of these potentially dilutive securities were antidilutive.

This cancellation was conducted in an effort to facilitate the reverse acquisition between PDTI and MedXLink, Corp. PDTI recorded a credit to compensation expense of $84,000 in January 2005 for the cancellation of these shares, an amount equal to the compensation expense recorded when these shares were issued in 2004.
14
In January 2005, Prentis B. Tomlinson (PDTI’s former President and CEO until December 2, 2004) and Thomas E. Hardisty, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development of PDTI, cancelled 45,000 and 5,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock that was valued at $0.001 per share.

The Company recorded an expense of $58,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 0%; risk-free interest rate of 3.34%; and expected life of 0 years.
In connection with a private placement that commenced in April 2004 and completed in January 2005, PDTI issued warrants, in January 2005, to purchase 65,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain persons associated with the Placement Agent of this private placement. Offering expense recorded for these warrants was $80,565. The related expense was a direct cost of the associated financing and was therefore charged directly to stockholders’ equity. Each warrant has an exercise price of $2.00 per share with a maximum term of five years. The fair value of each warrant granted is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 71.86%; risk-free interest rate of 3.73%; and expected life of five years.
In connection with a private placement that was completed February 9, 2005, PDTI issued warrants, in February 2005, to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain persons associated with the
15
Placement Agent of this private placement. Offering expense recorded for these warrants was $2,370,000. The related expense was a direct cost of the associated financing and was therefore charged directly to stockholders’ equity. Each warrant has an exercise price of $2.00 per share with a maximum term of ten years. The fair value of each warrant granted is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 71.86%; risk-free interest rate of 4.00%; and expected life of ten years.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGINCIES
In March 2005, the Company entered into a five year lease agreement for a new corporate office and delivered to the lessor a security deposit of $350,000 in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit, and is included in other assets on the balance sheet. In June 2005, the Company moved its corporate offices from 808 Travis Street, Suite 850, Houston, Texas, 77002 to 1021 Main Street, Suite 2650, Houston, Texas, 77002. The future annual minimum lease payments are $186,256.
The Company renewed the operating lease for its commercial operation facility that expired June 30, 2005. The lease was renewed for twelve months beginning July 1, 2005, with future annual minimum lease payments at July 1, 2005 of $57,600.
10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In March 2005, the Company entered into a five year sublease agreement with an affiliate of John D. Schiller, interim President and CEO of PDTI, pursuant to which PDTI will sublease approximately 50% of the Company’s 10,310 square foot new corporate office to the affiliate of Mr. Schiller, effective June 2005. Future annual minimum rental income associated with the sublease is $93,128.
11. INCOME TAXES
The Company reports its income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which calls for the utilization of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted marginal tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences reverse. Temporary differences have been created for all stock option plans and are included in the Company’s SFAS 109 computation. At June 30, 2005, the Company had cumulative net operating loss carryforwards of $7,580,219, which expire in years 2005 through 2023. No effect has been shown in the financial statements for the net operating loss carryforwards as the likelihood of future tax benefit from such net operating loss carryforwards is not determinable at this time. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards, estimated based upon tax rates at June 30, 2005, have been offset by valuation reserves of the same amount.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In August 2005, the Company amended the lease agreement related to its corporate offices to expand the leased premises an additional 1,086 square feet for a total of 11,396 square feet. The amended lease agreement became effective August 1, 2005. With respect to the expanded premises only, the future annual minimum lease payments under the amended lease will be an additional $18,756 and will expire January 31, 2011.

The historical information for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2005, and for the period from June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2005, have been restated after determining that the Company’s policy of recording stock-based employee compensation upon vesting of the underlying equity award was inconsistent with the guidelines set forth under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.
On February 7, 2006, the Company received comments from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005. In connection with the receipt of these comments, the Company determined that its policy for recording equity compensation was inconsistent with the guidance set forth under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R). Historically, the Company has calculated the compensation expense associated with equity awards using the Black-Scholes model and amortized that expense over the service period as the equity awards vest, commencing with the first vesting dates of the awards. To fully comply with the guidance set forth in SFAS No. 123(R), the Company is now recording such expense on a straight line basis over the relevant service periods, commencing with the dates of grant of the awards. On February 9, 2006, following an analysis of the impact of this error on the Company’s previously released financial statements, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determined that it was necessary to restate the financial statements contained in the Company’s original annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005 and the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2005.
As a result of the restatement, net loss for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2005, and for the period from June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2005 was increased by $125,033.
The following is a summary of the effect of the restatement on the financial statements and net loss per share amounts affected on our previously reported financial statements:

Overview
On January 14, 2005, we acquired Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation (“PDTI”). As a result of this acquisition, our company, which previously had no material operations, acquired the business of PDTI and we are now engaged in the development of the Particle Impact Drilling System, a patented system utilizing a specially designed “fit for purpose” drill bit fitted with jetting nozzles and polycrystalline diamond compact cutting structures for use in the oil and gas drilling industry.
We are a development-stage company and have a limited operating history. Our predecessor company for financial reporting purposes was formed on June 9, 2003 to acquire the technology related to the Particle Impact Drilling System (the “PID technology”). We are still developing this technology, and to date, we have not generated any revenues from our operations. As we continue to execute our operations plan, we expect our development and operating expenses to increase.
In June 2005, we successfully completed the second phase of a two phase test on the patented PID bit at the Terratek Drilling Research Laboratory in Salt Lake City. In July 2005, we completed a two week test program at the GTI Catoosa facility outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma. At the Catoosa facility, we were able to run the PID system in an actual well, as well as test and refine the operating procedures and processes to better prepare for actual fieldwork. Overall, we were pleased with the PID system’s drilling performance and identified areas for operational improvement. We will continue to refine the system and develop operational protocols that should allow us to move the system reliably into the commercial market. In that connection, we are planning a second test at the Catoosa facility in late October or early November 2005.
Research and development. We have made and expect to continue to make substantial investments in research and development activities in order to develop and market our PID technology. Research and development costs consist primarily of general and administrative and operating expenses related to research and development activities. We expense research and development costs as incurred except for property, plant and equipment related to research and development activity that have an alternative future use. Property, plant and equipment for research and development that have an alternative future use are capitalized and the related depreciation is expensed as research and development costs.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, office expense, professional services, and other corporate overhead costs. We anticipate increases in general and administrative expenses as a result of becoming subject to reporting obligations applicable to publicly-held companies in January 2005, and as we continue to develop, test and prepare the PID technology for commercialization.
Results of Operations
Quarter Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2004
Research and development. Research and development expenses were $731,054 and $152,444 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing an increase of $578,610. We had only a limited ability to develop the technology due to our lack of funds available during the three months ended June 30, 2004. As a result of the successful completion of our private placement in February 2005, we have continued to use substantial resources during the three months ended June 30, 2005 to develop and test the PID technology, including a test program conducted at the Terratek drill test facility in Salt Lake City (“Terratek”) during June 2005. Depreciation expense, included in research and development expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $104,769 and $38,646, respectively, representing an increase of $66,123. The increase primarily related to the purchase of a key component of the PID System during the three months ended June 30, 2005.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses were $984,863 and $1,091,969 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing a decrease of $107,106. The decrease was primarily attributed to a higher level of stock-based compensation issued to non-employees during the three months ended June 30, 2004. These issuances were necessary because we had limited liquidity during the early stages of
18
our development that resulted in us issuing more stock-based compensation during the three months ended June 30, 2004. Depreciation and amortization expense, included in general and administrative expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $19,363 and $12,801, respectively, representing an increase of $6,562. The increase primarily related to the purchase of office furniture and equipment following the period ended June 30, 2004.
Other income. Other income was $84,605 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase is due to $80,725 of interest earned on the investment of funds secured in the private placement in February 2005, and $3,880 in rental income from a sublease with an affiliate of John D. Schiller, our interim President and CEO.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $361 and $10,230 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing a decrease of $9,869. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the repayment after the three months ended June 30, 2004 of certain notes payable that were assumed in connection with our acquisition of the PID technology.
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2004
Research and development. Research and development expenses were $1,721,457 and $276,865 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing an increase of $1,444,592. We had limited liquidity to fund the development of the PID technology during the nine months ended June 30, 2004. As a result of the successful completion of our private placement in February 2005, we have used substantial resources during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2005 to develop and test the PID technology, including two test programs conducted at Terratek in March and June 2005, respectively. Depreciation expense, included in research and development expense, for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $190,816 and $67,949, respectively, representing an increase of $122,867. The increase primarily related to the purchase of equipment related to the PID System during the nine months ended June 30, 2005.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses were $2,098,850 and $2,194,251 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing a decrease of $95,401. The decrease was primarily attributed to a higher level of stock-based compensation issued to non-employees during the nine months ended June 30, 2004. These issuances were necessary because we had limited liquidity during the early stages of our development that resulted in us issuing more stock-based compensation during the nine months ended June 30, 2004. Depreciation and amortization expense, included in general and administrative expense, for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $53,782 and $22,478, respectively, representing an increase of $31,304. The increase primarily related to the purchase of office furniture and equipment during the nine months ended June 30, 2005.
Other Income. Other income was $156,972 and $0 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase is due to $126,102 of interest earned on the investment of funds secured in the private placement in February 2005, and $3,880 in rental income from a sublease with an affiliate of John D. Schiller, our interim President and CEO. We also recorded a gain on debt extinguishments of $26,990 during the nine months ended June 30, 2005 due to settlements on a note payable and an account payable that were related to the liabilities we assumed in connection with our acquisition of the PID technology.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $10,813 and $17,692 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing a decrease of $6,879. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the payment of certain notes payable that were assumed in connection with our acquisition of the PID technology. This decrease was partially offset by higher interest expense associated with certain equipment we purchased in July 2004 that was financed with bank debt. We incurred an additional $1,243 of interest expense related to this equipment note during the nine month period ended June 30, 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents. Cash requirements through the end of the fiscal year 2005 are primarily to fund research and development activities and to continuously improve service capabilities and expand operations. We believe we have sufficient resources to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months; however, our continued existence depends on the successful development of the PID technology and our ability to successfully commercialize this technology.
Since inception on June 9, 2003 through June 30, 2005, we have financed our operations through private sales of our equity and the issuance of convertible notes payable, totaling net proceeds of $19,449,729. As of June 30, 2005, we had $11,786,046 in cash and cash equivalents.
19
On February 9, 2005, we sold 9,000,000 shares of our common stock at $2.00 per share in a private placement and received gross proceeds of $18,000,000. We paid commissions to the placement agent in the amount of $600,000, $100,000 for reimbursable expenses, and legal fees related to this offering of $315,767. In connection with this private placement, we issued ten year warrants to persons associated with the placement agent to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock in the aggregate at $2.00 per share. In addition, we used $1,500,000 of these proceeds to repurchase 3,000,000 shares of our common stock from Prentis B. Tomlinson (PDTI’s former President and Chief Executive Officer until December 2, 2004). These shares were purchased as treasury stock and recorded at cost.
Cash Flows from Operations. Net cash flow used for operations is primarily affected by our research and development progress and business development. Our cash flow used for operations is also impacted by changes in working capital. Our net cash flow used for operations was $3,658,671 and $1,205,658 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing an increase of $2,453,013. The increase is primarily due to our successful fundraising efforts in February 2005 allowing us more cash resources to increase the planned development of the PID technology. As a result, net loss increased from $2,488,808 to $3,674,148 for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, an increase of $1,185,340. Our changes in operating assets and liabilities, excluding cash and cash equivalents, decreased $620,292 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease is primarily due to us making our credit obligation payments on-time during the nine months ended June 30, 2005. We did not have the cash resources to make all timely payments for our credit arrangements during the nine months ended June 30, 2004. Net cash used in operating activities from June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2005 was $5,623,926. Net loss during this period was $7,547,932 of which $1,924,006 related to non-cash activities that were added back to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities. The non-cash activities primarily related to stock-based compensation. We had limited liquidity during the early stages of development and as a result we issued more stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Our capital spending for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $1,421,180 and $230,423, respectively, representing an increase of $1,190,757. During the nine months ended June 30, 2005, we increased capital spending for our research and development activities in accordance with our 2005 capital budget. Our capital spending since inception (June 9, 2003) has been fully funded from cash flows from financing activities. We anticipate that our capital expenditures for the remaining of fiscal year 2005 will continue to be fully funded from our available cash and cash equivalents.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $16,845,534 and $1,435,989, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we received net proceeds of $18,647,666 and $1,582,197, respectively, from the issuance of our common stock and convertible notes. During the nine months ended June 30, 2005, we used $1,500,000 to repurchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock from a shareholder. We used $302,132 and $123,013 to repay notes payable during the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2004, we used $23,195 to repay borrowings under a loan agreement with related parties, Prentis B. Tomlinson (PDTI’s former CEO and President until December 2, 2004), and an affiliate of Prentis B. Tomlinson. During the nine months ended June 30, 2004, a $553,500 note was converted to common stock.
Contractual Obligations. Our contractual obligations at June 30, 2005 are set forth in the table below. Our long-term debt obligation (including current portion of long-term debt) is related to equipment that was financed for a three year period, beginning July 2004, and is secured by the same equipment. Our operating lease obligations consist of our office and commercial operating facility that are both located in Houston, Texas.
In March 2005, we entered into a five year lease agreement for new corporate offices that commenced in June 2005. We moved our previous corporate offices that were located at 808 Travis Street, Suite 850, Houston, TX 77002 to 1021 Main Street, Suite 2650, Houston, TX 77002. In March 2005, we delivered to the lessor a security deposit of $350,000 in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit. Our future annual minimum lease payments are $186,256. In August 2005, we expanded the corporate office facility an additional 1,086 square feet for a total of 11,396 square feet. The future annual minimum lease payments for the additional space will be $18,756.
20
In June 2005, we extended the commercial operating lease that expired June 30, 2005 for one additional year. The commercial operating lease will expire June 30, 2006. The future minimum lease payments under this lease are $57,600

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In connection with the acquisition of the PID technology in January 2004, PDTI entered into a Royalty Agreement with ProDril Services, Incorporated (“PSI”) pursuant to which we are obligated to pay PSI a royalty on a quarterly basis equal to 18% of our earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) until an aggregate of $67,500,000 has been paid. PDTI also entered into a Royalty Agreement in January 2004 with ProDril Services, International, Ltd. (“PSIL”) pursuant to which we are obligated to pay PSIL a royalty on a quarterly basis equal to 2% of our EBITDA until an aggregate of $7,500,000 has been paid. In addition, we are obligated to pay CCORE Technology and Licensing, Ltd. (“CTL”), PSI and PSIL a royalty equal to 1.6%, 1.2% and 1.2%, respectively, of our quarterly gross revenue. As of June 30, 2005, PDTI had no revenues or EBITDA; therefore no royalties have been paid or accrued.
Related Party Transactions
In March 2005, we entered into a five year sublease agreement with an affiliate of John D. Schiller, our interim President and CEO, pursuant to which this affiliate will sublease from us approximately 5,200 square feet of our corporate office space, effective June 2005. Future annual minimum rental income associated with the sublease is $93,128.
We believe that the transaction described above was negotiated on an arm’s length basis and that the terms of the transaction was at least as favorable to us as those that could have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Reverse Acquisition. The acquisition of PDTI was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Pursuant to the guidance in Appendix B of SEC Accounting Disclosure Rules and Practices Official Text, we believe the acquisition of PDTI was a “merger of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets
21
typically results in the owners and management of the private company having actual or effective operating control of the combined company after the transaction, with the shareholders of the former public shell continuing only as passive investors. These transactions are considered by the staff to be capital transactions in substance, rather than business combinations. That is, the transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by the private company for the net monetary assets of the shell corporation, accompanied by a recapitalization.” Accordingly, the reverse acquisition has been accounted for as a recapitalization. For accounting purposes, PDTI is considered the acquirer in the reverse acquisition. The historical financial statements are those of PDTI. Earnings per share for periods prior to the merger in January 2005 are restated to reflect the number of equivalent shares received by the acquiring company.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We review long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, further impairment analysis is performed. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of assets.
Stock-Based Compensation. In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 123, Share-Based Payment. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS No. 123 as originally issued. This statement is effective for new awards and those modified, repurchased or cancelled in interim or annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We early adopted this standard upon inception.
Research and Development. The costs of materials and equipment or facilities that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities and that have alternative future uses are capitalized as tangible assets when acquired or constructed. The cost of such materials consumed in research and development activities and the depreciation of such equipment or facilities used in those activities are research and development costs. However, the costs of materials, equipment, or facilities acquired or constructed for research and development activities that have no alternative future uses are considered research and development costs and are expensed at the time the costs are incurred.
Income Taxes. The Company reports its income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which calls for the utilization of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted marginal tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences reverse. Temporary differences have been created for all stock option plans and are included in our SFAS 109 computation. At June 30, 2005, we had cumulative net operating loss carryforwards of $7,580,219, which expire in years 2005 through 2023. No effect has been shown in the financial statements for the net operating loss carryforwards as the likelihood of future tax benefit from such net operating loss carryforwards is not determinable at this time. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards, estimated based upon tax rates at June 30, 2005, have been offset by valuation reserves of the same amount.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. APB No. 20 required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This statement requires
22
retrospective application to prior period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The provisions of SFAS 154 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. As such we are required to adopt SFAS 154 by October 1, 2006. We do not expect this statement to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto) are forward-looking statements subject to Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including “forecast,” “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or other similar words. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. We and our representatives may from time to time make other oral or written statements that are also forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are made based upon our management’s current plans, expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to dependence upon energy industry spending, the volatility of oil and gas prices, weather interruptions, the results of testing of our products and the availability of capital resources.
Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements for a number of important reasons, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in our prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 on June 30, 2005. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We believe that we do not have any material exposure to financial market risk and we do not enter into foreign currency or interest rate transactions.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The design of any system of control is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated purpose under all potential future conditions. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A filed with the SEC. Based upon that evaluation and in connection with their determination that the matters described immediately below relating to the restatement of our historical financial information, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2005, were effective in timely alerting them to material company information required to be included in our periodic filings with the SEC.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reviewed with members of our Audit Committee whether the restatement of our financial results for our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 and year ended September 30, 2005 affected their conclusions that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2005, were effective in timely alerting them to material company information required to be included in our periodic filings with the SEC. In connection with their review, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer noted that our decision to restate our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 and year ended September 30, 2005 financial results did not call into question whether the relevant information was recorded, processed, summarized or reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. It also did not involve any issue about whether information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A was accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Rather, the restatements resulted from reconsideration of our policy for recording stock-based employee compensation expense in connection with preparing responses to a comment letter that we received from the Staff of the SEC on our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer did not find that management's ultimate determination that its prior policy of recording stock-based compensation expense was inconsistent with generally accepted accounting principles raised any question about whether our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that required information was disclosed to them as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Therefore, based on that review, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that their prior conclusions, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2005, had not changed.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our third quarter of fiscal 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
