(1) ORGANIZATION
Refuel America, Inc. (a development stage company), (“Refuel”) was incorporated on June 1, 2005 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Refuel was formed for the purpose of developing and distributing innovative alternative fuels including biodiesel and ethanol. Refuel’s offices are located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Its fiscal year end is December 31.
On July 29, 2005, Bongiovi Entertainment, Inc. (“Bongiovi"), a totally inactive reporting public shell corporation, consummated a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") with Refuel whereby all of the shareholders in Refuel had their shares converted into 28,135,033 shares of Bongiovi, or approximately 89% of the common stock of Bongiovi. As part of the reverse merger between Bongiovi and Refuel, warrants were issued to two shareholders to purchase 2,255,000 common shares. One warrant for 2,155,000 common shares has no expiration date and has an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The other warrant for 100,000 common shares is exercisable for a term of five years and has an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Under generally accepted accounting principles, a company whose stockholders receive over fifty percent of the stock of the surviving entity in a business combination is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes.
The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of Bongiovi, the legal acquirer, and a recapitalization of Refuel, the accounting acquirer. The historical financial statements presented are a continuation of Refuel and not those of Bongiovi. Due to the effects of the reverse merger, the capital structure is different than those appearing in the historical financial statements of Bongiovi.
On August 10, 2005, to effect a name change, Bongiovi executed a merger and reorganization agreement with the sole shareholder of NewGen Technologies, Inc, a newly formed Nevada corporation. This transaction effectively changed the registrant’s name from Bongiovi Entertainment, Inc. to NewGen Technologies, Inc. (“NewGen”).
The Company has not generated any significant revenues since inception and the Company is in the process of raising additional capital and financing for future operations (See Note 13).
(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Restatement
On August 29, 2006, the Company restated its financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and for the period from June 1, 2005 (Inception) to March 31, 2006 to reflect changes in the valuation of our embedded derivative financial instrument liability due to the use of a more comprehensive modeling tool for valuing such complex derivative financial instruments and the identification of other embedded derivative financial instruments. The amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and for the period from June 1, 2005 (Inception) to September 30, 2006 reflect these restated amounts.

(UNAUDITED)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information refer to the December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements of NewGen Technologies, Inc., included in the Company’s filing on Form 10-KSB /Amendment No.2 on June 14, 2006.
Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Unbilled Revenues
Revenue is recognized only when all of the following are present: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, our fee to the client is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. These criteria are in accordance with GAAP and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104). The Company currently offers engineering services, project management and logistical support to its clients. Revenues are recorded in the period in which services are provided and meet revenue recognition criteria in accordance with SAB 104. The Company bills clients based upon a predetermined agreed upon fixed fee or based on actual hours incurred on client projects at expected net realizable rates per hour, plus agreed upon out-of-pocket expenses. The cumulative impact on any subsequent revision in the estimated realizable value of unbilled fees for a particular client project is reflected in the period in which the change becomes known.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NewGen Technologies, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries majority owned (greater than 50% owned) subsidiaries and all variable interest entities (VIE’s) (collectively, the “Company”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46). In December 2003, the FASB modified FIN 46 to make certain technical corrections and address certain implementation issues that had arisen. FIN 46 (R) provides a new framework for identifying VIE’s and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements.
In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited-liability corporation, trust or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either 1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support; 2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its accountabilities; or 3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations. FIN 46 (R) requires a VIE to be consolidated if a party with an ownership, contractual or other financial interest in the VIE (a variable interest holder) is obligated to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities, is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns, or both. A variable interest holder that consolidates the VIE is called the primary beneficiary. Upon consolidation, the primary beneficiary must record all of the VIE’s assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests at fair value and account for the VIE as if it were consolidated based on majority voting interest.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entity
The Company accounts for its thirty percent investment in an unconsolidated entity under the equity method of accounting, as the Company does not have any management control over this entity. This investment was recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in net earnings and cash distributions. On August 31, 2006, in conjunction with the acquisition described below, the Company purchased a minority interest in IPF America, Inc., a privately owned engineering consulting firm, for a purchase price of $16,492. Legal and professional fees associated with the purchase of the partnership interest, were expensed.
Acquisitions
On August 18, 2006 the Company’s majority owned subsidiary Actanol, Inc. acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of a privately held company, Blitz 06-149 GmbH., a German shelf company with no assets or liabilities set up for the purpose of accelerating the legal process of setting up a German corporation for approximately $34,000. Blitz 06-149 subsequently changed its name to Actanol GmbH and on September 1, 2006 acquired 98.8% of IPF Germany GmbH for approximately $8,800 from Industrie Planung Fischer AG, an entity in German insolvency proceedings. As required by the insolvency administrator, an interest bearing two month working capital loan of $317,125, held in escrow under the control of the insolvency administrator was set up and used during the months of September and October 2006. This loan has a term of one year and an interest rate of 10%. Accordingly, it is eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, on September 1, 2006 IPF Germany GmbH acquired for approximately $308,000 all the assets of Industrie Planung Fischer AG, including 99% of the outstanding stock of IPF Polska and 30% of the outstanding stock of IPF America, Inc. The aggregate acquisition price for all transactions described above was approximately $351,000, which was paid entirely in cash. Management estimated the net fair value of the assets and stock purchased to be approximately $351,000, as shown below.
The acquisition of the IPF entities including the assets of Industrie Planung Fischer AG, a provider of project engineering, project management and engineering consulting services, compliment and optimize Actanol, Inc.’s ability to provide full service biofuel plant design, building, staffing and management solutions.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price for the 2006 Acquisitions was allocated to the acquired companies’ net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the completion of the respective acquisition. The allocation of the total purchase price is summarized below:
| | Purchase Price | | Asset Life | |

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions
The fair values used in determining the purchase price allocation for certain intangible assets for the Company’s acquisitions were based on the net assets acquired at the end of the previous month. An independent valuation and allocation of fair market values is currently in process. If a material difference arises between the value used and the independent valuation and allocation, the Company will make the appropriate adjustment and file an amended third quarter 10-QSB.
The results of operations of the 2006 Acquisitions are included in the Company’s results of operations beginning after their respective acquisition dates. The following unaudited pro forma information combines the consolidated results of operations of the Company and the companies that it acquired as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2005:

The unaudited pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that would actually have been achieved had the acquisitions occurred as of the date of the periods indicated.
Cash
The Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions. Balances in the institutions may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company carries accounts receivable at their face amount less allowances for doubtful accounts, and carries unbilled revenues at estimated net realizable value. Assessing the collectibility of receivables (billed and unbilled) requires management judgment. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the overall collectibility of receivables, the Company analyzes historical bad debts, client creditworthiness, the age of accounts receivable and current economic trends and conditions.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Office equipment is being depreciated using the straight line method with a useful life of five years. The terminals and terminal improvements will be placed in service after they have been refurbished. Once refurbished and operating, they will be depreciated using the straight line method with a useful life of twenty five years.
Long Lived Assets
Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such review indicates that the asset is impaired when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of its expected future cash flows on an undiscounted basis, the asset’s carrying amount is written down to fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Excess of Cost Over Net Assets Acquired
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141) the Company allocates the purchase price of its acquisitions to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over those fair values is recorded as “Excess of Cost Over Net Assets Acquired”. The fair values assigned to intangible assets acquired is either based on valuations prepared by independent third-party appraisal firms using estimates and assumptions provided by management or negotiated at arms-length between the Company and the seller of the acquired assets. In accordance with SFAS 141, goodwill and purchased intangibles with indefinite lives acquired after June 30, 2001 are not amortized, but will be reviewed periodically for impairment. Purchased intangibles with finite lives will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. As discussed above, the transaction completed September 1, 2006 resulted in excess net assets acquired over cost, or negative goodwill. Management considered the negative goodwill in light of SFAS 141 and determined the circumstances of the transactions to merit a reduction of the intangible assets acquired.
Loss per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The exercise of options to purchase 300,000 shares and warrants to purchase 4,645,000 common shares; and debt (principal and interest) convertible into an indeterminable number of common shares as of September 30, 2006, (the conversion feature is limitless as the price per share declines, see note 10) were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share since the assumed conversion and exercise would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At September 30, 2006, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses for related and non-related parties, and notes payable, approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company has estimated the fair value of its convertible debentures, excluding the value of any conversion, call or put rights, using a discounted future cash flow analysis. The Company utilized a discount rate commensurate with other entities with similar credit and business risks, in this analysis. The carrying amount and estimated fair value is as follows:
| | September 30, 2006 | |
| | Carrying Amount | | Estimated Fair Value using Discounted Cash Flow Analysis | |
Convertible Debentures | | $ | 963,016 | | $ | 1,565,901 | |
Use of Estimates
In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions we are required to make.
Estimates that are critical to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the identification and valuation of derivative instruments, the amortization periods for debt issuance costs and the amortization of discounts on convertible securities arising from warrants, options and bifurcated derivative instruments, estimates that arise from the provisions for loss on advances to joint ventures, the valuation of deferred income tax assets and estimated depreciation for tangible assets. Management bases its estimates and judgements on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are revised periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We review the terms of convertible debt instruments we issue to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments including, but not limited to, the conversion option, our ability to pre-pay the debt (call option), and the investor’s ability to demand early repayment (put option) in a default situation, that may be required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where the convertible debt instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, we may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
(UNAUDITED)
When the risks and rewards of any embedded derivative instrument are not "clearly and closely" related to the risks and rewards of the host instrument, the embedded derivative instrument is generally required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately. If the convertible instrument is debt, or has debt-like characteristics, the risks and rewards associated with the embedded conversion option are not "clearly and closely" related to that debt host instrument. The conversion option has the risks and rewards associated with an equity instrument, not a debt instrument, because its value is related to the value of our common stock. Nonetheless, if the host instrument is considered to be "conventional convertible debt" (or "conventional convertible preferred stock"), bifurcation of the embedded conversion option is generally not required. However, if the instrument is not considered to be conventional convertible debt (or conventional convertible preferred stock), bifurcation of the embedded conversion option may be required in certain circumstances Generally, the ability of the Company to prepay the debt (call option), is clearly and closely related to the host instrument since the host and the derivative instrument have risks and rewards of a debt instrument, and therefore, bifurcation would not be required. However, there may be certain circumstances when the option to prepay would not be considered clearly and closely related, in which bifurcation would be required. Similarly, the holder of the debt has the ability to require the Company to repay the debt before the due date (put option) in a default situation, since the host and the derivative instrument have risks and rewards of a debt instrument, bifurcation generally would not be required. However, there may be certain circumstances when the put option would not be considered clearly and closely related, in which bifurcation would be required.
Certain instruments, including convertible debt and the freestanding options and warrants issued in connection with those convertible instruments are subject to registration rights agreements, which impose penalties for failure to register the underlying common stock by a defined date or failure to maintain an effective registration statement over the term of the debt instruments. If the convertible debt instruments are not considered to be "conventional", then the existence of the potential cash penalties under the related registration rights agreement requires that the embedded conversion option be accounted for as a derivative instrument liability. Similarly, the potential cash penalties under the related registration rights agreement may require us to account for the freestanding options and warrants as derivative financial instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. In addition, when the ability to physically or net-share settle the conversion option or the exercise of the freestanding options or warrants is deemed to be not within the control of the Company, the embedded conversion option or freestanding options or warrants may be required to be accounted for as a derivative financial instrument liability.
Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative financial instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments and free standing options or warrants, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative financial instruments. The binomial method is used to value all embedded derivative financial instruments.
If freestanding options or warrants were issued in connection with the issuance of convertible debt instruments and will be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities (rather than as equity), the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of those freestanding instruments. If the freestanding options or warrants are to be accounted for as equity instruments, the proceeds are allocated between the convertible debt instrument and those derivative equity instruments, based on their relative fair values. When the convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount. To the extent that the fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received, an immediate charge to income is recognized, in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.

The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method. Under the effective interest method, interest expense in the earlier periods of the term of the debenture is significantly lower than in the latter periods of the term of the debenture.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed periodically, including at the end of each reporting period. If re-classification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is re-classified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Stock-Based Compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock−Based Compensation” (SFAS 123) previously provided companies with a choice to follow the provisions of SFAS 123 in determination of stock−based compensation expenses or to continue with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). Under APB 25, if the exercise price of the stock options granted to employees equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share−Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 123 and superseded APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share−based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values beginning with the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 will no longer be an alternative to financial statement recognition.
Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for our stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB No. 25, and related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”. Stock-based compensation cost representing a prorata portion of the “in the money” intrinsic value was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during 2005 included in the period from June 1, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2006 as all options granted under our option plans had an exercise price less than the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. As a result, the Company’s net loss before taxes for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2006 is $42,591 and $132,076, respectively, higher than if it had continued to account for share−based compensation under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) opinion No. 25. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has $47,238 of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation that is expected to be recognized over the next twelve months.
The provisions of SFAS 123R require that we make an estimate of our forfeiture rate and adjust the expense that we recognize to reflect the estimated number of options that will go unexercised. Due to our early stage of development as a newly focused company and our limited workforce of nine employees as of September 30, 2006, including executive officers, we are challenged to develop an appropriate estimate of forfeitures. Based on these circumstances we have opted for a conservative position in that we are estimating forfeitures to be 0% at this time. We will continue to assess this position as our company develops and our workforce expands. When we feel that we have sufficient data on which to base an assumption we will adjust the expense recognized, if necessary.

On September 7, 2005, the Company adopted an incentive based Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (“NQSO Plan”) with a vesting period of four (4) years from the grant date with an expiration period of ten (10) years after the last vesting date. Up to eight million shares or 15% of the float of Common stock will be provided for the NQSO Plan. The incentive awards will be based on performance, up to maximum levels, tiered as follows: Chairman/CEO 100%, next level 50% to 75%, and the next level 25% of their cash compensation.
In addition, a special one-time award was granted to certain individuals for their efforts contributed to the Company up to the date of the award. The amount of shares allocated for this award is 300,000. The options were granted as of September 9, 2005, and participants will be fully vested over a two-year timeframe with an expiration period of ten (10) years after the last vesting date. The option exercise price is $0.50 per share. The shares are to be equally split between certain officers. In January 2006 one of the grantees resigned and forfeited his award, which amounted to 75,000 shares. Another award was granted to the chief financial officer on October 10, 2005, the date of employment, for the option to purchase 500,000 shares at $1.00 per share and vesting in accordance with the NQSO Plan. On August 1, 2006, an award for 75,000 shares was granted to a former executive officer as part of a settlement plan (see Note 7, Contingencies) and on September 29, 2006 the one of the grantees forfeited his award of 500,000 shares.
We may also issue options or warrants to non-employees in connection with consulting or other services they provide.
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
| | 2005 | | 2006 | |
Risk free interest rate | | | 3.94 | % | | 3.94 | % |
Volatility factor | | | 185.50 | % | | 185.50 | % |
Term in years | | | 5.00 | | | 2.50 | |
Expected dividend yield | | | - | | | - | |
The weighted average fair value of options and warrants granted during 2005 is estimated to be $2.62 and $0.60, respectively, and the weighted average fair value of options and warrants granted during 2006 is estimated to be $2.58 and $0.53.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2005 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Reclassifications include: “general and administrative expenses” which is now reported in the separate line items of compensation, professional services, travel, marketing, royalty, investor relations, and provision for loss on advances to joint ventures. These reclassifications did not impact the Company’s reported income from continuing operations.
Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary transactions in foreign currencies are translated into U. S. dollars, the functional currency, at the rate of exchange at the date of transaction. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in operating expenses within the statement of operations at the average exchange rate during the period.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U. S. dollars, the functional currency, at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date.
These financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Translation of balance sheet data from Euros’ to U.S. dollars is made at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date (1 Euro equals U.S. dollar $0.78828). Translation of operating statement and cash flow amounts is made at the average exchange rate for the period (1 Euro equals U.S. dollar $.78621) Translation gains and losses are recognized within “other comprehensive loss” on the balance sheet.
Comprehensive income (loss)
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, all components of comprehensive income (loss), including net income (loss) are reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), consisting solely of foreign currency translation adjustments, are reported, net of any related tax effect to arrive at comprehensive income (loss).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments— an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS 155 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), issued in September 2006, establishes a formal framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. It defines and codifies the many definitions of fair value included among various other authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some instances, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements, and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS 157 applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA pronouncements, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS 157 applies to all other accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements, except for; SFAS No. 123 (R), share-based payment and related pronouncements, the practicability exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various other authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9 that deal with software revenue recognition. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
(3) DEFERRED DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

Mr. King then served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s International Operations until January 15, 2006. Mr. King also served as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors from June 9, 2005 through January 16, 2006 when he was removed by a vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock. On August 1, 2006, the Company and Mr. King reached a settlement agreement which granted options for 75,000 shares exercisable over the next 30 months and the Company issued two 12% Settlement Convertible Debentures effective August 1, 2006 in the amounts of $317,794 and $357,206. The debentures are convertible at a fixed price of $0.50 per share (See Notes 9 & 10). Accrued expenses-related and notes payable were reduced by a total of $638,636. In addition, settlement expense increased by $36,364.
On August 25, 2006 Refuel America, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, S. Bruce Wunner, the Company’s Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Ian Williamson, the Company’s President and Director, were served with a complaint in an action entitled Douglas Brown, Sr. v. Refuel America, Inc., Ian Williamson and S. Bruce Wunner. The action was filed in the Superior Court of the State of North Carolina, Cleveland County. Mr. Brown alleges that in return for advancing a loan of $1,000,000 to a potential acquisition candidate of Refuel, he received 3,740,424 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Refuel common stock. Mr. Brown is seeking a declaration acknowledging his ownership of the Refuel common stock and such other monetary damages as determined at trial. The Company denies all allegations and believes it has sufficient defenses on all matters. In addition, the Company intends to vigorously defend the action brought by Mr. Brown.
On October 20, 2006 the Company was served with a complaint by Mr. Scott Deininger, a current director and formerly served as Chief Financial Officer of the Company from October 10, 2005 through his termination for cause on September 29, 2006. In the complaint, Mr. Deininger alleges that he was party to an employment agreement with a severance package of twelve months salary for termination for any reason other than for cause. Mr. Deininger claims he was wrongfully terminated and is entitled to receive all compensation due under the alleged employment agreement, including the accelerated vesting of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company does not believe that Mr. Deininger’s claims with respect to the employment agreement have any merit, as the Company feels that such agreement was not consummated by the Company and should not be binding upon the Company. The Company has meritorious defenses to any claims by Mr. Deininger that would require the payment of any funds or the acceleration of the vesting of options, in that the agreement was terminated for cause and the severance provisions of the agreement do not apply under such circumstances. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action against Mr. Deininger.

(9) CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On January 24, 2006, in connection with the sale of $2,200,000 of 10% Secured Convertible Debentures, the Company issued 300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Also, as part of the same transaction, the Company also issued a warrant for the purchase of 1,125,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The agreement allows for the increase in shares to match $1,125,000 if the Company sells shares at a price below $1.00 per share. The warrant expires in three years. Due to a settlement agreement dated August 1, 2006, with a former executive director (Note 7), whereby shares were issued at $0.50, triggering the ratchet provision of the warrant noted below. The warrant has now been increased to 2,250,000 and the exercise price decreased to $0.50 per share. The expiration date remains three years.
On January 24, 2006, the Company consummated a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) providing for the sale of its Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, of which $2,200,000 was advanced immediately, $650,000 was advanced on March 14, 2006, and the remaining $2,150,000 was advanced on September 19, 2006 two days before the Company’s Registration Statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective by the Securities & Exchange Commission on September 21, 2006. As agreed to in the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Statement was to be declared effective by May 11, 2006, if not, the Company is required to pay the holder liquidated damages for each month that the Registration Statement has not been declared effective, as the case may be, either in cash or shares of the Company’s Common Stock, equal to 2% of the liquidated value of the Convertible Debentures. On June 1, 2006, the Company and the holder signed an amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement extending this date until June 19, 2006. On August 18, 2006, the Company and holder signed an amendment to extend the scheduled effective deadline to September 15, 2006, however, the Company is responsible for liquidated damages from June 19, 2006 to the effective date. As such, the Company’s penalty amounted to $171,000 and was reduced from the loan proceeds received. The Convertible Debentures holders may convert, at any time, the principal amount outstanding into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of (i) $1.00, or (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the lowest closing bid price for the Company’s Common Stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, subject to adjustment.

Upon three business days advance written notice, the Company may redeem the Convertible Debentures, in whole or part, if the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of such written notice is less than $1.00. In the event the Company exercises its right of redemption within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Convertible Debentures, the redemption will be calculated at 107% and thereafter the redemption will be calculated at 110% of the Convertible Debentures face value.
The Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. In addition, certain executive officers and directors of the Company have granted the holders a security interest in a portion of shares of the Company’s common stock held by such officers and directors.
The conversion price of the Convertible Debentures may also be adjusted in certain circumstances, such as if the Company pays a stock dividend, subdivides or combines outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution. Also, if we issue shares of common stock at a price below $1.00 per share, the fixed conversion price of the warrants will be reduced accordingly (the ratchet provision). As a result, the secured Convertible Debentures are not considered to be "conventional convertible debt, convertible into a fixed number of shares" as that term is used in EITF Issue 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled In, a Company's Own Stock".
The Purchase Agreement includes a Registration Rights Agreement. This agreement requires the Company to pay a penalty of 2% per month of the principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Debentures if a registration statement registering the 300,000 commitment shares, 31,250,000 shares underlying the Convertible Debentures and 2,250,000 shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants, is not declared effective by May 11, 2006. The penalty is payable in cash or common stock of the Company, at the option of the holders. On June 1, 2006, the Company and the holder signed an amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement extending this date until June 19, 2006. On August 18, 2006, the Company and holder signed an amendment to extend the scheduled effective deadline to September 15, 2006, however, the Company is responsible for liquidated damages from June 19, 2006 to the effective date, September 19, 2006. As such, the Company’s penalty amounted to $171,000 and was deducted from the loan proceeds received.
The warrant for the purchase of 2,250,000 shares of common stock was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Because of the potential penalties we may have to pay under the Registration Rights Agreement, this warrant has been recorded as a derivative instrument liability rather than as equity. This derivative instrument liability was initially recorded at its fair value and it shall be adjusted to fair value (using the Black-Scholes option pricing model) at the end of each reporting period with any changes in the fair value charged or credited to income in the period of change.
On August 1, 2006 the Company reached a settlement with a former executive director that was filed in the US District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. The settlement agreement included options for 75,000 shares exercisable over the next 30 months and two 12% convertible unsecured promissory notes effective August 1, 2006 in the amounts of $317,794 and $357,206 (See Notes 7 and 10). These settlement debentures are convertible at a fixed price of $0.50 per share. As a result of the settlement, accrued expenses-related parties and accounts payable were reduced by a total of $638,636. In addition, settlement expense increased by $36,364.

The Convertible Debentures are not considered to be conventional convertible debt, therefore, the embedded conversion option of the Convertible Debentures is subject to the requirements of EITF Issue 00-19. Because of the potential penalties we may have to pay under the Registration Rights Agreement, together with the fact that the conversion price of the debt can be adjusted, we are required by EITF Issue 00-19 to bifurcate the embedded conversion option and account for it as a derivative instrument liability. This derivative instrument liability was initially recorded at its fair value and it shall be adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period with any changes in the fair value charged or credited to income in the period of change.
The Convertible Debentures permit the Company, at its discretion, to prepay the debt (“Call Option”), plus accrued interest and applicable penalty. According to the applicable accounting guidance, including FASB Statement 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FASB 133”), as amended and Derivative Implementation Group - Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. B39 “Embedded Derivatives: Application of Paragraph 13(b) to Call Options That Are Exercisable Only by the Debtor”, the risks and rewards of the call option are considered to be clearly and closely related to that of the host instrument. Therefore, we have not bifurcated the embedded Call Option from the host instrument and have not accounted for the Call Option separately.
In addition, the Convertible Debentures permit the holder of the debt to require the Company to repay the debt before the due date in a default situation, either in cash or through the aforementioned conversion option (“Put Option”). Since the ability of the holder to exercise this option is contingent upon a default, according to the applicable accounting guidance, including FASB 133 and Derivative Implementation Group - Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. B16 “Embedded Derivatives: Calls and Puts in Debt Instruments”, the put option is not considered to be clearly and closely related to that of the host instrument and must be bifurcated from the host instrument. Since the Put Option must be bifurcated, it is subject the requirements of EITF Issue 00-19, and will be accounted for as a derivative instrument liability. This derivative instrument liability was initially recorded at its fair value and it shall be adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period with any changes in the fair value charged or credited to income in the period of change.

The proceeds received from the Convertible Debentures during the first quarter of 2006 were first allocated to the fair value of the freestanding warrant and then to the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative instruments included in the Convertible Debentures. Because the fair value of the warrants of $894,800 and the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments of $4,647,900 exceeded the proceeds received, the loan was initially recorded at $285 (a nominal value) and a charge to income of $2,692,985 was recognized to record the warrant and the bifurcated derivative instruments at their fair values. The proceeds received from the Convertible Debentures during the third quarter of 2006 were first allocated to the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative instrument included in the Convertible Debenture. The fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative of $1,565,200 was less than the proceeds received and the loan was recorded at $584,800. There were no proceeds received from the Settlement Convertible Debentures, however, as a result of the settlement, accrued expenses-related parties and accounts payable were reduced by a total of $638,636 and settlement expense increased by $36,364. The fair value of the 75,000 options was $21,200 and the bifurcated embedded derivative of $211,200 were less than the proceeds received and the loan was recorded at $442,600. This discount, together with the stated interest on the Convertible Debentures, is being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Convertible Debentures. Under the effective interest method, interest expense in the earlier periods of the term of the debenture is significantly lower than in the latter periods of the term of the debenture.
At September 30, 2006, the following amounts were outstanding under the Convertible Debentures. See Note 10 for information on the derivative instrument liabilities related to the warrant issued and the bifurcated embedded derivative instruments related to the accompanying Convertible Debentures.
The Convertible Debentures bear interest at 10% and are due, along with accrued interest, three years from the date issued.

(10) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT LIABILITIES
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value warrants, and the binomial method to value embedded conversion option components of any bifurcated embedded derivative instruments that are recorded as derivative liabilities. See Note 9 related to embedded derivative instruments that have been bifurcated from our Convertible Debentures.
In valuing the warrants and the bifurcated derivative liability instruments, at the time they were issued and at September 30, 2006, we used the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of 0% and the remaining period to the expiration date of the warrants or repayment date of the convertible debt instrument. The warrant and conversion option can be exercised by the holder at any time.
The volatility factor used was approximately 100% and the risk-free rate of return used was 4.66%, based on constant maturity rates, applicable to the remaining life of the warrants and debentures. In addition a discount was used to account for the lack of marketability of the Company’s stock due to the current thinly trading share volume.
At September 30, 2006, the following derivative liabilities related to common stock warrant and embedded derivative instruments were outstanding (See Note 9):

Our obligation to issue shares upon conversion of our convertible debenture is essentially limitless since conversion is at the lower of $1.00 or 80% of the lowest closing bid price for the common stock for the 5 trading days before but not including the conversion date. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our secured convertible notes will increase if the market price of our stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders. The following is an example of the amount of shares of our common stock that were issuable as of September 30, 2006, upon conversion of the secured convertible notes (excluding accrued interest), based on market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price of $0.20.

(13) GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $6,379,907 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $3,735,329 as of September 30, 2006 and a net loss of $9,739,428 and a cash flow deficiency from operations of $4,843,354 for the period from June 1, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2006. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company’s existence is dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve the Company’s liquidity problems. In order to improve the Company’s liquidity, management is actively pursuing additional equity and debt financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional financing.

(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
(UNAUDITED)
On October 20, 2006 the Company was served with a complaint by Mr. Deininger, a current director who formerly served as Chief Financial Officer of the Company from October 10, 2005 through his termination for cause on September 29, 2006. In the complaint, Mr. Deininger alleges that he was party to an employment agreement with a severance package of twelve months salary for termination for any reason other than for cause. Mr. Deininger claims he was wrongfully terminated and is entitled to receive all compensation due under the alleged employment agreement, including the accelerated vesting of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company does not believe that Mr. Deininger’s claims with respect to the employment agreement have any merit, as the Company feels that such agreement was not consummated by the Company and should not be binding upon the Company. The Company has meritorious defenses to any claims by Mr. Deininger that would require the payment of any funds or the acceleration of the vesting of options, in that the agreement was terminated for cause and the severance provisions of the agreement do not apply under such circumstances. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action against Mr. Deininger.
On November 13, 2006 $25,000 of the Company’s Convertible Debentures were converted into 189,394 share at a per share price of $0.132 which is calculated at the lower of $1.00 or 80% of the previous five day bid price of $0.165.
On November 21, 2006 $100,000 of the Company’s Convertible Debentures were converted into 806,452 share at a per share price of $0.124 which is calculated at the lower of $1.00 or 80% of the previous five day bid price of $0.155.
On November 22, 2006 $100,000 of the Company’s Convertible Debentures were converted into 806,452 share at a per share price of $0.124 which is calculated at the lower of $1.00 or 80% of the previous five day bid price of $0.155.
On November 29, 2006 $15,000 of the Company’s Convertible Debentures were converted into 104,667 share at a per share price of $0.144 which is calculated at the lower of $1.00 or 80% of the previous five day bid price of $0.18.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
CORPORATE HISTORY
Refuel America, Inc. (a development stage company), (“Refuel”) was incorporated on June 1, 2005 under the laws of the state of Delaware. Refuel was formed for the purpose of developing and distributing innovative alternative fuels including biodiesel and ethanol. Refuel’s offices are located in Charlotte, North Carolina and its fiscal year end is December 31.
On July 29, 2005, Bongiovi Entertainment, Inc. (“Bongiovi"), a totally inactive reporting public shell corporation, consummated a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") with Refuel whereby all of the shareholders in Refuel had their shares converted into 28,135,033 shares of Bongiovi, or approximately 89% of the common stock of Bongiovi. As part of the reverse merger between Bongiovi and Refuel, warrants were issued to two shareholders to purchase 2,255,000 common shares. One warrant for 2,155,000 common shares has no expiration date and has an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The other warrant for 100,000 common shares is exercisable for a term of five years and has an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Under generally accepted accounting principles, a company whose stockholders receive over fifty percent of the stock of the surviving entity in a business combination is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes.
The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of Bongiovi, the legal acquirer, and a recapitalization of Refuel, the accounting acquirer. The historical financial statements presented are a continuation of Refuel and not those of Bongiovi. Due to the effects of the reverse merger, the capital structure is different than those appearing in the historical financial statements of Bongiovi.
On August 10, 2005, to effect a name change, Bongiovi executed a merger and reorganization agreement with the sole shareholder of NewGen Technologies, Inc, a newly formed Nevada corporation. This transaction effectively changed the registrant’s name from Bongiovi Entertainment, Inc. to NewGen Technologies, Inc. (“NewGen” or “the Company”).
The Company has not generated any significant revenues since inception and the Company is in the process of raising additional capital and financing for future operations.
OVERVIEW
Bongiovi was an entertainment content provider and independent record label, whose market is the global entertainment/music consumer. Bongiovi was engaged in the acquisition of music industry assets and in operational activities that included: the signing and development of artists for the purpose of creating, promoting, marketing and distributing and selling recorded material, the utilization and development of a national/international record promotion and distribution network, the identification, acquisition and development of a "catalog" of recorded works and other entertainment related activities.
Since June 14, 2004, Bongiovi had no operating business and did not intend to develop its own operating business but instead was seeking to effect a merger with a corporation and undertake a merger for its own corporate purposes. This merger occurred on August 2, 2005, whereby Bongiovi became the legal acquirer and Refuel became the accounting acquirer. As such, the inception date of NewGen is June 1, 2005 which is the inception date of Refuel. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements include only activity from June 1, 2005 (inception) to June 30, 2006.
Restatement
On August 29, 2006, the Company restated its financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and for the period from June 1, 2005 (Inception) to March 31, 2006 to reflect changes in the valuation of our embedded derivative financial instrument liability due to the use of a more comprehensive modeling tool for valuing such complex derivative financial instruments and the identification of other embedded derivative financial instruments. The amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and for the period from June 1, 2005 (Inception) to September 30, 2006 reflect these restated amounts.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
To date we have not derived any significant revenues and we have not derived a profit from our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able close on the transactions noted below or conduct operations profitably in the future, if at all, or that we will be able to generate revenues from operations in the future. We currently do not have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of our anticipated obligations for the next twelve months. As a result, we are in the process of soliciting additional equity and debt funding in the near future.
Newgen and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Refuel is a fuel production and distribution company engaged in the development of fuel technology, including bio fuels and blends, which can increase an automobile’s miles per gallon while providing cleaner fuel emissions by changing the property of fuel to allow more complete combustion and decrease the dependency on foreign fuels.
While we have not yet begun distribution, we intend to utilize our patent pending technology to produce fuel products, which we plan to distribute to both the wholesale and retail segments of the fuel marketplace. We intend to continue development of our technology to diversify our product offerings. We utilize technology that is multi-functional and multi-purpose, allowing it to be used in a wide range of fuels including gasoline, diesel, Biodiesel and Ethanol. Our products include proprietary formulae, designed to positively alter the combustion characteristics of the fuel. Because of the unique character of the proprietary formulae, our formulations are designed to create a mono-layer on the fuel delivery system, increasing lubricity (reducing engine wear and tear) while the detergent character of the formulae is designed to prevent deposit formation on fuel injectors. The technology is also designed to result in greater atomization and efficiency of combustion, to provide increases in fuel economy and reductions in emissions.
Currently, we are in the process of working with a joint venture partner through our Refuel subsidiary to build and operate biodiesel plants in the Southeast. A facility that is planned to produce 60 million gallons annually will be based in Sandersville, Georgia. This joint venture serves as the initial step in our plans to manufacture, process, and distribute biofuels in the U.S. with the aim of substantially increasing a vehicle's operating efficiency while reducing the amount of carbon monoxide, particulates, and nitrous oxides produced. Current cash requirements are projected to be approximately $2,000,000 in general and administrative costs and approximately $60,000,000 in capital expenditures over the next twelve to fourteen months. Operations are planned to commence in the early first quarter 2008.
In addition, we have closed on the purchase of three fuel terminals in the southeast United States from Crown Central LLC. The terminals, with a total storage capacity of over 10 million gallons, and an annual throughput capacity of more than 500 million gallons, will be used for the distribution and storage of alternative fuels, including biodiesel and ethanol blends, as well as traditional hydrocarbon fuels. The three terminals are strategically located near existing fuel pipelines with railcar access. The purchase of these terminals will give NewGen the opportunity to process, blend, and store its proprietary biodiesel and ethanol blends as well as hydrocarbon fuels. This agreement is a crucial next step in our growth strategy - allowing the Company to blend biodiesel and ethanol with hydrocarbon fuels for distribution domestically and internationally. We intend to offer proprietary products to meet the increasing demand for biofuel blends, driven by greater fuel efficiency, cleaner exhaust, and a growing need for energy independence. Two of these terminals, located in Charlotte, North Carolina and Spartanburg, South Carolina, were expected to be operational in the summer of 2006, however, delays during the summer and fall have caused us to revise our expectation to the late first quarter 2007, for the Charlotte terminal and second quarter 2007 for the Spartanburg terminal. The Columbus, Georgia location is scheduled to come on line in sometime in the second or third quarter 2007.
On November 8, 2005, we announced that our wholly-owned subsidiary, Refuel America, Inc., and PowerSHIFT Energy Company, Inc., a provider of alternative energy solutions, entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement for the formation of PowerSHIFT Biofuels of Hawaii, LLC and a Limited Liability Company Agreement for the formation of PowerSHIFT Biofuels of Iowa, LLC. These joint venture entities are equally owned by NewGen and PowerSHIFT Energy and were created to build biodiesel plants and power generation facilities in the United States. These entities have already identified several potential opportunities in Hawaii, and Iowa to provide biodiesel and complete green energy solutions for utilities, industry and transportation. The first of these projects could potentially be operational by the fourth quarter of 2007, and all identified plants combined would produce in excess of 94 million gallons of biodiesel. Current cash requirements are projected to be approximately $2,000,000 in general and administrative costs and approximately $94,000,000 in capital expenditures over the next twelve to fourteen months.
On November 29, 2005, we entered into a joint venture agreement with AG Global Partners Limited and NewGen Fuel Technologies Limited, to acquire 500 shares of NewGen Fuel Technologies Limited, so that it would be equally owned by us and AG Global Partners Limited. On September 5, 2006, the Company has terminated its interest in a consummating this joint venture and has agreed to pay AG Global Partners Ltd. a cash payment of $110,000 and 562,500 shares of the Company’s Common Shares and 562,500 shares from a former executive director.
On November 30, 2005, NWGT International, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary and Actanol Service, Ltd., entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement for the formation of Actanol BioEngineering, LLC. This joint venture entity was equally owned by us and Actanol Service, Ltd. and was created to oversee the design, engineering, construction, operations and technology support for biodiesel and other biofuel plants worldwide. On August 15, 2006 we increased our equity interest from 50% to 60% and changed the capital structure from a limited liability company to a Delaware corporation.
On August 18, 2006 our majority owned subsidiary Actanol, Inc. acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of a privately held company, Blitz 06-149 GmbH., a German shelf company with no assets or liabilities set up for the purpose of accelerating the legal process of setting up a German corporation for approximately $34,000, Blitz 06-149 subsequently changed its name to Actanol GmbH and on September 1, 2006 acquired 98.8% of IPF Germany GmbH for approximately $ 8,800 from Industrie Planung Fischer AG, an entity in German insolvency proceedings. As required by the insolvency administrator, an interest bearing two month working capital loan of $317,125, held in escrow under the control of the insolvency administrator was set up and used during the month of September and October 2006. Additionally, on September 1, 2006 IPF GmbH acquired for approximately $308,000 all the assets of Industrie Planung Fischer AG, including the stock of IPF Polska, representing 99% of the outstanding stock and the stock of IPF America, Inc representing 30% of the outstanding stock. The aggregate acquisition price was approximately $351,000, which was paid entirely in cash. The acquisition of the IPF entities including the assets of Industrie Planung Fischer AG, a provider of project engineering, project management and engineering consulting services compliment and optimize Actanol, Inc.’s ability to provide full service biofuel plant design, building, staffing and management solutions.
On September 26, 2006 we formed a joint venture named NewGen Biofuels Asia Pte Ltd (“NBA”) a company registered in Singapore, with Palmbio Venture Pte Lte, a company registered in Singapore, for the purpose of conducting the business of manufacturing, processing, storing, marketing, distributing, and selling biodiesel, biodiesel mixtures, and biodiesel byproducts. We have a 68% voting interest. We have no commitments to fund initial start up costs and working capital, however, as of September 30, 2006, we have advanced $190,000 in costs prior to creation of NBA. Additional working capital requirements will be treated as shareholder loans. An additional $17,000 was loaned to NBA for working capital subsequent to September 30, 2006.
As of September 30, 2006, we had cash available to fund current operations for approximately one month. In 2006, we received cash proceeds of $420,000 from the issuance of a short-term promissory note to a director additionally, we received cash proceeds of $3,023,730 from the issuance of short-term promissory notes to another director. In addition, we received cash proceeds of $1,000,000 from the issuance of a short-term promissory note to a third party. We received further gross proceeds of $2,150,000 from the issuance of 10% convertible debentures on September 21, 2006. However, we will need funding for current operations and additional capital expenditures as noted above.
In connection with our currently planned capital projects, we will require approximately $200 million in additional financing for the construction of biodiesel production plants and power generation facilities and additional financing of approximately $9 million for the upgrade and refurbishment of our fuel distribution terminals. Further, the Company is identifying and evaluating acquisitions of entities conducting fuel distribution, for which more financing would be required. We are currently reviewing various proposals for traditional debt project financing in order to fund a majority of the costs of these projects. In addition, we may decide to seek additional private debt or equity financing in order to provide for any additional financing needs we may have.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and Cash Flows From Operations
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $6,379,907 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $3,735,329 as of September 30, 2006 and a net loss of $9,739,428 and a cash flow deficiency from operations of $4,843,354 for the period from June 1, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2006. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company’s existence is dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve the Company’s liquidity problems. In order to improve the Company’s liquidity, management is actively pursuing additional equity and debt financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional financing.
We do not have sufficient funds on hand to fund our current operations through the near term. We intend to complete additional rounds of our private placement financing to fund our current and future operations. If successful in completing this financing, we may not be able to do so on terms that are not excessively dilutive to our existing stockholders or less costly than existing sources of financing. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms if and when needed in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, balance sheet and stock price and require us to implement cost reduction initiatives and curtail operations.
Financing Through Equity
During August and September, 2005 the Company issued 3,333,491 shares to acquire Bongiovi, and sold 4,225,500 shares of common stock to various individuals at a value of $0.50 per share for cash proceeds of $2,112,750. In December 2005, another 1,070,200 shares were subscribed for by various individuals for cash proceeds of $265,200, and a subscription receivable of $805,000. The Company has subsequently collected all amounts due. The proceeds from these offerings were used for the repayment of a portion of an outstanding debt obligation, professional expenses, working capital and general corporate expenses. In addition, we issued to employees, 800,000 shares, of which 575,000 shares have been forfeited, which have an initial intrinsic value of $1,485,000, of which $339,765, have been deferred as of September 30, 2006. We have also issued 300,000 shares in January 2006, discussed below in “Cornell Financing” and issued an additional 440,000 shares to various individuals at $1.00 per share for cash proceeds of $440,000 also in January, 2006. In August, 2006 we issued 75,000 of options to a former executive director as part of a settlement agreement discussed below and converted $100,000 worth of Convertible Debentures into 390,625 shares of stock as required by the our Convertible Debenture. In September, 2006, we terminated our interest in consummating a joint venture and paid AG Global Partners Ltd. a cash payment of $110,000 and issued 562,500 shares of company stock. In addition, 562,500 shares of company stock was paid by a former executive director.
Financing through Debt
Cornell Debenture
On January 24, 2006, in connection with the sale of $2,200,000 of 10% Secured Convertible Debentures, the Company issued 300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Also, as part of the same transaction, the Company also issued a warrant for the purchase of 1,125,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The agreement allows for the increase in shares to match $1,125,000 if the Company sells shares at a price below $1.00 per share. The warrant expires in three years. Due to a settlement agreement dated August 1, 2006, with a former executive director, whereby shares were issued at $0.50, triggering the ratchet provision of the warrant noted below. The warrant has now been increased to 2,250,000 and the exercise price decreased to $0.50 per share. The expiration date remains three years.
On January 24, 2006, the Company consummated a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) providing for the sale of its Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, of which $2,200,000 was advanced immediately, $650,000 was advanced on March 14, 2006, and the remaining $2,150,000 was advanced on September 19, 2006 two days before the Company’s Registration Statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective by the Securities & Exchange Commission on September 21, 2006. As agreed to in the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Statement was to be declared effective by May 11, 2006, if not, the Company is required to pay the holder liquidated damages for each month that the Registration Statement has not been declared effective, as the case may be, either in cash or shares of the Company’s Common Stock, equal to 2% of the liquidated value of the Convertible Debentures. On June 1, 2006, the Company and the holder signed an amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement extending this date until June 19, 2006. On August 18, 2006, the Company and holder signed an amendment to extend the scheduled effective deadline to September 15, 2006, however, the Company is responsible for liquidated damages from June 19, 2006 to the effective date. As such, the Company’s penalty amounted to $171,000 and was reduced from the loan proceeds received. The Convertible Debentures holders may convert, at any time, the principal amount outstanding into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of (i) $1.00, or (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the lowest closing bid price for the Company’s Common Stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, subject to adjustment.
Upon three business days advance written notice, the Company may redeem the Convertible Debentures, in whole or part, if the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of such written notice is less than $1.00. In the event the Company exercises its right of redemption within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Convertible Debentures, the redemption will be calculated at 107% and thereafter the redemption will be calculated at 110% of the Convertible Debentures face value.
The Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. In addition, certain executive officers and directors of the Company have granted the holders a security interest in a portion of shares of the Company’s common stock held by such officers and directors.
The conversion price of the Convertible Debentures may also be adjusted in certain circumstances, such as if the Company pays a stock dividend, subdivides or combines outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution. Also, if we issue shares of common stock at a price below $1.00 per share, the fixed conversion price of the warrants will be reduced accordingly (the ratchet provision). As a result, the secured Convertible Debentures are not considered to be "conventional convertible debt, convertible into a fixed number of shares" as that term is used in EITF Issue 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled In, a Company's Own Stock".
The Purchase Agreement includes a Registration Rights Agreement. This agreement requires the Company to pay a penalty of 2% per month of the principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Debentures if a registration statement registering the 300,000 commitment shares, 31,250,000 shares underlying the Convertible Debentures and 2,250,000 shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants, is not declared effective by May 11, 2006. The penalty is payable in cash or common stock of the Company, at the option of the holders. On June 1, 2006, the Company and the holder signed an amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement extending this date until June 19, 2006. On August 18, 2006, the Company and holder signed an amendment to extend the scheduled effective deadline to September 15, 2006, however, the Company is responsible for liquidated damages from June 19, 2006 to the effective date, September 19, 2006. As such, the Company’s penalty amounted to $171,000 and was reduced from the loan proceeds received.
The warrant for the purchase of 2,250,000 shares of common stock was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Because of the potential penalties we may have to pay under the Registration Rights Agreement, this warrant has been recorded as a derivative instrument liability rather than as equity. This derivative instrument liability was initially recorded at its fair value and it shall be adjusted to fair value (using the Black-Scholes option pricing model) at the end of each reporting period with any changes in the fair value charged or credited to income in the period of change.
On August 1, 2006 the Company reached a settlement with a former executive director that was filed in the US District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. The settlement agreement included options for 75,000 shares exercisable over the next 30 months and two 12% convertible unsecured promissory notes effective August 1, 2006 in the amounts of $317,794 and $357,206 (See Notes 7 and 10). These settlement debentures are convertible at a fixed price of $0.50 per share. As a result of the settlement, accrued expenses-related parties and accounts payable were reduced by a total of $638,636. In addition, settlement expense increased by $36,364.
The Convertible Debentures are not considered to be conventional convertible debt, therefore, the embedded conversion option of the Convertible Debentures is subject to the requirements of EITF Issue 00-19. Because of the potential penalties we may have to pay under the Registration Rights Agreement, together with the fact that the conversion price of the debt can be adjusted, we are required by EITF Issue 00-19 to bifurcate the embedded conversion option and account for it as a derivative instrument liability. This derivative instrument liability was initially recorded at its fair value and it shall be adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period with any changes in the fair value charged or credited to income in the period of change.
The Convertible Debentures permit the Company, at its discretion, to prepay the debt (“Call Option”), plus accrued interest and applicable penalty. According to the applicable accounting guidance, including FASB Statement 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FASB 133”), as amended and Derivative Implementation Group - Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. B39 “Embedded Derivatives: Application of Paragraph 13(b) to Call Options That Are Exercisable Only by the Debtor”, the risks and rewards of the call option are considered to be clearly and closely related to that of the host instrument. Therefore, we have not bifurcated the embedded Call Option from the host instrument and have not accounted for the Call Option separately.
In addition, the Convertible Debentures permit the holder of the debt to require the Company to repay the debt before the due date in a default situation, either in cash or through the aforementioned conversion option (“Put Option”). Since the ability of the holder to exercise this option is contingent upon a default, according to the applicable accounting guidance, including FASB 133 and Derivative Implementation Group - Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. B16 “Embedded Derivatives: Calls and Puts in Debt Instruments”, the put option is not considered to be clearly and closely related to that of the host instrument and must be bifurcated from the host instrument. Since the Put Option must be bifurcated, it is subject the requirements of EITF Issue 00-19, and will be accounted for as a derivative instrument liability. This derivative instrument liability was initially recorded at its fair value and it shall be adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period with any changes in the fair value charged or credited to income in the period of change.
The proceeds received from the Convertible Debentures during the first quarter of 2006 were first allocated to the fair value of the freestanding warrant and then to the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative instruments included in the Convertible Debentures. Because the fair value of the warrants of $894,800 and the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments of $4,647,900 exceeded the proceeds received, the loan was initially recorded at $285 (a nominal value) and a charge to income of $2,692,985 was recognized to record the warrant and the bifurcated derivative instruments at their fair values. The proceeds received from the Convertible Debentures during the third quarter of 2006 were first allocated to the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative instrument included in the Convertible Debenture. The fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative of $1,565,200 was less than the proceeds received and the loan was recorded at $584,800. There were no proceeds received from the Settlement Convertible Debentures, however, as a result of the settlement, accrued expenses-related parties and accounts payable were reduced by a total of $638,636 and settlement expense increased by $36,364. The fair value of the 75,000 options was $21,200 and the bifurcated embedded derivative of $211,200 were less than the proceeds received and the loan was recorded at $442,600. This discount, together with the stated interest on the Convertible Debentures, is being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Convertible Debentures. Under the effective interest method, interest expense in the earlier periods of the term of the debenture is significantly lower than in the latter periods of the term of the debenture.
At September 30, 2006, the following amounts were outstanding under the Convertible Debentures.
The Convertible Debentures bear interest at 10% and are due, along with accrued interest, three years from the date issued.

On December 6, 2006 we issued $1,100,000 in convertible debentures to Cornell Capital Partners LP with a term of 30 days and 10% interest rate. The conversion price is fixed at $0.25 per share or Cornell may request to be paid in cash.
On December 6, 2006 we issued a warrant to Cornell Capital Partners LP for 750,000 common shares is exercisable for a term of three years and has an exercise price of $0.25 per share.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value warrants, and the binomial method to value embedded conversion option components of any bifurcated embedded derivative instruments that are recorded as derivative liabilities. See Note 9 related to embedded derivative instruments that have been bifurcated from our Convertible Debentures.
In valuing the warrants and the bifurcated derivative liability instruments, at the time they were issued and at September 30, 2006, we used the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of 0% and the remaining period to the expiration date of the warrants or repayment date of the convertible debt instrument. The warrant and conversion option can be exercised by the holder at any time.
The volatility factor used was approximately 100% and the risk-free rate of return used was 4.66%, based on constant maturity rates, applicable to the remaining life of the warrants and debentures. In addition a discount was used to account for the lack of marketability of the Company’s stock due to the current thinly trading share volume.
At September 30, 2006, the following derivative liabilities related to common stock warrant and embedded derivative instruments were outstanding (See Note 9):

Our obligation to issue shares upon conversion of our convertible debenture is essentially limitless since conversion is at the lower of $1.00 or 80% of the lowest closing bid price for the common stock for the 5 trading days before but not including the conversion date. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our secured convertible notes will increase if the market price of our stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders. The following is an example of the amount of shares of our common stock that were issuable as of September 30, 2006, upon conversion of the secured convertible notes (excluding accrued interest), based on market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price of $0.20.

Other Debt
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Refuel, executed a promissory note on June 30, 2005 with a former Executive Director in the amount of $316,500 with a remaining principal balance of $281,500 and accrued interest of approximately $18,700. On August 1, 2006 we reached a settlement with the Executive Director and issued two convertible debentures in the amount of 675,000. As a result of this settlement, accrued expenses-related parties and notes payable were reduced by 638,636 and we recognized 36,364 in settlement expense.
On April 26, 2006, the Company entered into an unsecured short-term promissory note with an executive director in the amount of $420,000 at an interest rate of 10% for working capital purposes. Principal and interest are due October 26, 2006. As of June 30, 2006 this note had accrued interest of $18,066.
On May 17, 2006, the Company entered into an unsecured short-term promissory note with a director in the amount of $752,500 at an interest rate of 10% for working capital purposes. Principal and interest are due November 17, 2006. As of June 30, 2006 this note had accrued interest of $28,038.
On June 12, 2006, the Company received an unsecured loan in the amount of $1,000,000 from Indexia. There is no written agreement between the parties and a note has not been executed, however the Company and Indexia have orally agreed that the principal of the loan will be due and payable on December 12, 2006, along with interest of 10% per annum. As of September 30, 2006 this note had accrued interest of $30,137.
In August 2006 the Company received additional funds from a director in the amount of $2,271,230 for working capital purposes. These funds have increased an unsecured short-term promissory note payable to him from $752,500 to $3,023,730 and earn interest at a rate of 10%. As of September 30, 2006 these notes had accrued interest of $51,363
Investing
In conjunction with the convertible debentures noted above, also on January 24, 2006, the Company, closed on a contract of sale, as amended, pursuant to which the Company purchased three parcels of land, along with fuel terminals located on such properties for a purchase price of $1,700,000 for all three parcels. In February 2006, the Company began the process of assessing the refurbishment of these fuel terminals. Currently, the Company has engaged an experienced liquid bulk terminal storage engineering consulting and contracting firm to inspect, assess and clean the terminals. In addition, the same liquid bulk terminal storage engineering consulting and contracting firm has been engaged to manage the refurbishment and upgrading of various operating equipment and tanks to bring the terminals into proper operating condition and increase annual throughput capacity. Preliminary assessments of the total costs needed to complete the project are not yet available. However, ongoing discussions with the liquid bulk terminal storage engineering consultant and contractor have indicated an estimated total refurbishment and upgrade cost of approximately $9,000,000. The Company has spent approximately $2,539,000, through September 30, 2006. We will need to secure additional funding over and above the current cash on hand immediately. Failure to do so will have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, balance sheet and stock price and require us to implement cost reduction initiatives and curtail operations. The Company is currently reviewing various proposals to fund this project.
The Company has entered into various agreements with an engineering consultant and contractors for approximately $3,650,000 for refurbishment of the fuel terminals, of which approximately $2,539,000 has been paid. We are not aware of any other material trend, event or capital commitment that which would potentially adversely affect liquidity.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments— an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instruments. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS 155 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, issued in September 2006, establishes a formal framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. It defines and codifies the many definitions of fair value included among various other authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some instances, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements, and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS No. 157 applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA pronouncements, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS No. 157 applies to all other accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements, except for; SFAS No. 123 (R), share-based payment and related pronouncements, the practicability exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various other authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9 that deal with software revenue recognition. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $6,379,907 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $3,735,329 as of September 30, 2006 and a net loss of $9,739,428 and a cash flow deficiency from operations of $4,843,354 for the period from June 1, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2006. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s existence is dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve the Company’s liquidity problems. In order to improve the Company’s liquidity, management is actively pursuing additional equity and debt financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional financing.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Please see the discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the period June 1, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005.
Derivative Instruments
In connection with the sale of debt instruments, we may issue options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.
The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. Our derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the option. The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments and the assumptions used to value them can significantly affect our financial statements.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. NewGen Technologies, Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have designed disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting and evaluated the effectiveness of NewGen Technologies, Inc.’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on the evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. During the evaluation it was determined that our accounting resources were not adequate to ensure sufficient time for our accounting staff to (i) perform a review of the consolidation and supporting financial statement disclosure schedules independent of the preparer, (ii) adequately prepare for our quarterly reviews and (iii) research all applicable accounting pronouncements as they relate to our financial statements and underlying disclosures. Inadequate levels of accounting personnel have also impaired our ability to timely file our periodic reports without extension. Due to these weaknesses, in preparing our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we performed additional analysis and other post closing procedures to ensure that such financial statements were stated fairly in all material respects in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal controls that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, it was determined that an officer, director and principal stockholder (“the Officer”) of NewGen sold 1,638,841 restricted shares of NewGen common stock to 37 purchasers for an aggregate of $640,365. The Officer loaned $420,000 of the proceeds of such sales to NewGen. The sale of such shares may have been made in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 as it was not registered thereunder. The Officer has indicated that he intends to offer rescission to the purchasers of the securities which he sold. The transfer of the Officer’s securities was completed based upon correspondence between the Officer’s representative and NewGen’s transfer agent, without the participation of NewGen. In order to ensure that such transactions cannot occur in the future, NewGen has now instituted a procedure where any officer or director of NewGen intending to sell or otherwise transfer stock of NewGen shall first contact NewGen’s Chief Financial Officer with the details of any proposed transaction. If required, the Chief Financial Officer shall then contact legal counsel to determine if such transaction can be consummated as proposed. The transfer agent will be directed not to make any transfers of unregistered shares of NewGen stock without an opinion of counsel.
On May 24, 2006, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Refuel, were served with a complaint in an action entitled John King v. NewGen Technologies, Inc. and Refuel America, Inc. The action was filed in the US District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. Mr. King served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company from June 9, 2005 through September 9, 2005. Mr. King then served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s International Operations until January 15, 2006. Mr. King also served as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors from June 9, 2005 through January 16, 2006 when he was removed by a vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock. On August 1, 2006, the Company and Mr. King reached a settlement agreement which granted options for 75,000 shares exercisable over the next 30 months and the Company issued two 12% Settlement Convertible Debentures effective August 1, 2006 in the amounts of $317,794 and $357,206. The debentures are convertible at a fixed price of $0.50 per share (See Notes 9 & 10). Accrued expenses-related and notes payable were reduced by a total of $638,636. In addition, settlement expense increased by $36,364.
On August 25, 2006 Refuel America, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, S. Bruce Wunner, the Company’s Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Ian Williamson, the Company’s President and Director, were served with a complaint in an action entitled Douglas Brown, Sr. v. Refuel America, Inc., Ian Williamson and S. Bruce Wunner. The action was filed in the Superior Court of the State of North Carolina, Cleveland County. Mr. Brown alleges that in return for advancing a loan of $1,000,000 to a potential acquisition candidate of Refuel, he received 3,740,424 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Refuel common stock. Mr. Brown is seeking a declaration acknowledging his ownership of the Refuel common stock and such other monetary damages as determined at trial. The Company denies all allegations and believes it has sufficient defenses on all matters. In addition, the Company intends to vigorously defend the action against Mr. Brown.
On October 20, 2006 the Company was served with a complaint by Mr. Deininger, a current director and formerly served as Chief Financial Officer of the Company from October 10, 2005 through his termination for cause on September 29, 2005. In the complaint, Mr. Deininger alleges that he was party to an employment agreement with a severance package of twelve months salary for termination for any reason other than for cause. Mr. Deininger claims he was wrongfully terminated and is entitled to receive all compensation due under the alleged employment agreement, including the accelerated vesting of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company does not believe that Mr. Deininger’s claims with respect to the employment agreement have any merit, as the Company feels that such agreement was not consummated by the Company and should not be binding upon the Company. The Company has meritorious defenses to any claims by Mr. Deininger that would require the payment of any funds or the acceleration of the vesting of options, in that the agreement was terminated for cause and the severance provisions of the agreement do not apply under such circumstances. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action against Mr. Deininger.
NONE.
On January 24, 2006, the Company consummated a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) providing for the sale of its Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, of which $2,200,000 was advanced immediately, $650,000 was advanced on March 14, 2006, and the remaining $2,150,000 was advanced on September 19, 2006 two days before the Company’s Registration Statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective by the Securities & Exchange Commission on September 21, 2006. As agreed to in the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Statement was to be declared effective by May 11, 2006, if not, the Company is required to pay the holder liquidated damages for each month that the Registration Statement has not been declared effective, as the case may be, either in cash or shares of the Company’s Common Stock, equal to 2% of the liquidated value of the Convertible Debentures. On June 1, 2006, the Company and the holder signed an amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement extending this date until June 19, 2006. On August 18, 2006, the Company and holder signed an amendment to extend the scheduled effective deadline to September 15, 2006, however, the Company is responsible for liquidated damages from June 19, 2006 to the effective date. As such, the Company’s penalty amounted to $171,000 and was reduced from the loan proceeds received. The Convertible Debentures holders may convert, at any time, the principal amount outstanding into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of (i) $1.00, or (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the lowest closing bid price for the Company’s Common Stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, subject to adjustment.
We were not in compliance with our obligations to register the shares of the Company’s common stock held by or issuable to the holder. However, the holder has waived, subject to certain conditions, through June 19, 2006, the imposition of all penalties under the Registration Rights Agreement and its right to accelerate payment of our obligations. The conditions to effectiveness of the waiver were: The Company will file its Form 10QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 no later than August 21 2006. The Company agrees it will still be responsible for Liquidated Damages based on the period of time it takes to get effective subsequent to June 19, 2006. The Liquidated Damages of 171,000 were deducted from proceeds of the third tranche prior to effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
