NEWGEN TECHNOLOGIES, INC AND SUBSIDIARES
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MARCH 31, 2007
(1) ORGANIZATION
Refuel (a development stage company), 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. Refuel’s offices are located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Company’s 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. 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. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of Bongiovi, the legal acquirer, and a recapitalization of Refuel, the accounting acquirer.
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.
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 for the period from June 1, 2005 (Inception) to March 31, 2007 reflect these restated amounts.
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, 2006 consolidated financial statements of NewGen Technologies, Inc., included in the Company’s filing on Form 10-KSB /Amendment No.1 on April 3, 2007.
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 collectability 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.
NEWGEN TECHNOLOGIES, INC AND SUBSIDIARES
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MARCH 31, 2007
(UNAUDITED)
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 inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities
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.
Joint Ventures
The Company intends to operate certain of its manufacturing and distribution business through various joint ventures. Upon the adoption of FIN 46 (R), the Company has consolidated all joint ventures that were determined to be VIE’s and where the Company is the primary beneficiary.

The Company has no commitments to fund initial start up costs and working capital, however, as of September 30, 2006, the Company has advanced $190,000 in costs prior to creation of NBA. Additional working capital requirements will be treated as shareholder loans. As of March 31, 2007 the total amount recorded as loans to NBA is $309,000. No additional working capital has been loaned to NBA subsequent to March 31, 2007.
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 $16,645. 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.

Cash
The Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions. Balances in the institutions may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.
Pre-Acquisition Costs
The Company accounts for costs incurred prior to the date of acquisition of a parcel of real property as pre-acquisition costs. Pre-acquisition cots are capitalized if the property was acquired or the acquisition of the property is probable. Capitalized pre-acquisition costs in excess of recoverable amounts are charged to expense.
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 collectability of receivables (billed and unbilled) requires management judgment. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the overall collectability 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 an expected useful life of twenty five years.
Capitalized Interest Costs
The Company capitalizes interest cost in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 34 “Capitalization Interest” during the period commencing with the first expenditure for a qualifying asset and ending when the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization of interest is based on the principle that a better measure of acquisition cost is achieved when certain interest costs that are directly related to borrowings that are made to acquire the qualifying asset are capitalized.
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 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.
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 4,740,000 shares and warrants to purchase 6,446,521 common shares; and debt (principal and interest) convertible into an indeterminable number of common shares as of March 31, 2007, (the conversion feature is limitless as the price per share declines, (see Note 12) 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 March 31, 2007, 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:
| | March 31, 2007 | |
| | Carrying Amount | | Estimated Fair Value using Discounted Cash Flow Analysis | |
Convertible Debentures | | $ | 5,435,949 | | $ | 6,291,800 | |
Use of Estimates
In preparing our condensed 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.
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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MARCH 31, 2007
(UNAUDITED)
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 December 31, 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 ended March 31, 2007, is $12,908 higher than if it had continued to account for share based compensation under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) opinion No. 25. As of March 31, 2007, the Company has $21,513 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 52 employees as of March 31, 2007, 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 12, Contingencies) and on September 29, 2006 one of the grantees forfeited his award of 500,000 shares. 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 |
Risk free interest rate | | 3.94% |
Volatility factor | | 185.50% |
Term in years | | 5.00 |

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MARCH 31, 2007
(UNAUDITED)
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2006 condensed 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 loss from 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 $0.75). Translation of operating statement and cash flow amounts is made at the average exchange rate for the period (1 Euro equals U.S. dollar $.76341) 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 re-measurement 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.

(UNAUDITED)
In June 2006, FASB issued FIN 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with FASB 109 Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159), which permits an entity to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Pursuant to SFAS No. 159, entities that elect the fair value alternative will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value alternative may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions, as long as it is applied to the instrument in its entirety. The fair value alternative election is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value must be displayed on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity (1) makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year, (2) has not yet issued financial statements, and (3) elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. We are evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 159 to determine the potential impact, if any, the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

(10) CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
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 and was extended to June 19, 2006. However, the Company was contractually obligated to pay liquidated damages from this date to the effective deadline date September 15, 2006. As such, $171,000 was reduced from the loan proceeds received. The above debentures are currently in default due to non-payment of another debenture not paid on its maturity date. 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. The non-payment of principal and interest at the maturity date of the other convertible debentures noted below has caused these debentures to be in default.
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 and payment of notes in shares to a director on December 12, 2006 at $.23 per share (Note 12), whereby shares were issued at $0.50 and $0.23 respectively, triggering the ratchet provision of the warrant noted below. The warrant has now been increased to 4,891,304 and the exercise price decreased to $0.23 per share. The expiration date remains three years.
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 $0.23 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 warrant for the purchase of 4,891,304 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 is 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.

These settlement debentures are convertible at a fixed price of $0.50 per share.

Provided written notice, the Company may, without premium or other prepayment penalty, prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the December 20, 2006 debenture.

On March 14, 2007, the Company entered into a $1,250,000 secured convertible debenture agreement with interest to accrue on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to ten percent (10%) with a third party lender. The Company’s obligations under the March 14, 2007 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 March 14, 2007, debenture is due March 14, 2009, and currently is in default due to the non-payment of the principal and interest at the date of maturity of the December 7, 2006 debenture.
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 is 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 is 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 $1,565,200. 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. The weighted average effective interest rate is 53.45%.
The proceeds received from the December 7, 2006 Convertible Debentures 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. The fair value of the warrants of $51,700 and the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments of $68,900 was less than the proceeds received and the loan was recorded at $68,900.
There were no warrants issued in conjunction with the December 20, 2006 debenture. The loan was recorded at the fair value of $704,600.

(11) 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 12 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 March 31, 2007, 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.

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 March 31, 2007, upon conversion of the secured convertible notes (excluding accrued interest), based on market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price of $0.72.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
CORPORATE HISTORY
Refuel (a development stage company), 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. Refuel’s offices are located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Company’s 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. 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. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of Bongiovi, the legal acquirer, and a recapitalization of Refuel, the accounting acquirer.
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.
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
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.
Bongiovi was an entertainment content provider and independent record label, whose market is the global entertainment/music consumer and was engaged in the acquisition of music industry assets and in operational 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 for the period from June 1, 2005 (Inception) to March 31, 2007 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.
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 third quarter 2008.
In addition, the company closed on the purchase of three fuel terminals in 2006 and one fuel terminal in 2007, in the Southeast United States which are assets acquired from Crown Central LLC. The terminals, with a total storage capacity of over 15 million gallons, and an annual throughput capacity of more than 700 million gallons, will be refurbished to further enhance the storage, blending, and distribution of a full slate of transportation fuels, including biodiesel and ethanol blends, as well as traditional hydrocarbon fuels. The four terminals are strategically located near existing major petroleum product pipelines with railcar and truck transport access. The purchase of these terminals gives NewGen the opportunity to process, blend, and store its proprietary biodiesel and ethanol blends as well as hydrocarbon fuels. This is a crucial next step in the company’s growth strategy - allowing the company to blend biodiesel and ethanol with conventional hydrocarbon fuels for distribution domestically and internationally. NewGen intends to offer proprietary products to meet increasing demand for biofuel products, driven by the need for greater fuel efficiency, reduced exhaust emissions, and for the desire for greater energy independence. Barring unforeseen delays, two of these terminals, located in Charlotte, North Carolina and Spartanburg, South Carolina, are expected to be operational in the third and fourth quarter, respectively, of 2007, with the Columbus, Georgia operational line in the first half of 2008 and the second Spartanburg, South Carolina location operational in the second half 2008.
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. In addition, the IPF entities are emerging from insolvency and are soliciting business from other non-NewGen sources.
On September 26, 2006 the Company 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. The Company has a 68% voting interest. The Company has no commitments to fund initial start up costs and working capital, however, as of September 30, 2006, the Company has advanced $190,000 in costs prior to creation of NBA. Additional working capital requirements will be treated as shareholder loans. As of March 31, 2007 the total amount recorded as loans to NBA is $309,000. No additional working capital has been loaned to NBA subsequent to March 31, 2007.
As of March 31, 2007, we did not have cash available to fund current operations. In 2007, we received cash proceeds of $850,000 and $1,250,000 from the issuance of 10% convertible debentures to a director and third party lender respectively. 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 $1,000 million in additional financing for the construction of biodiesel production plants and power generation facilities and additional financing of approximately $8 million to $10.5 million to complete 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 $7,012,498 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $7,077,149 as of March 31, 2007 and a net loss of $21,112,243 and a cash flow deficiency from operations of $9,484,887 for the period from June 1, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2007. 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. We intend to complete additional rounds of our private placement and debt 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 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.
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.

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 and was extended to June 19, 2006. However, the Company was contractually obligated to pay liquidated damages from this date to the effective deadline date September 15, 2006. As such, $171,000 was reduced from the loan proceeds received. The above debentures are currently in default due to non-payment of another debenture not paid on its maturity date. 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. The non-payment of principal and interest at the maturity date of the other convertible debentures noted below has caused these debentures to be in default.
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 and payment of notes in shares to a director on December 12, 2006 at $.23 per share (Note 12), whereby shares were issued at $0.50 and $0.23 respectively, triggering the ratchet provision of the warrant noted below. The warrant has now been increased to 4,891,304 and the exercise price decreased to $0.23 per share. The expiration date remains three years.
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 $0.23 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 warrant for the purchase of 4,891,304 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 is 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. 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 7and 10). These settlement debentures are convertible at a fixed price of $0.50 per share. Due to the non-payment of principal and interest at the maturity date of the December 7, 2006 convertible debentures and the lack of payment of interest subsequent to March 31, 2007 on this convertible settlement debenture, this note is in default.
On December 7, 2006, the Company entered into a $1,100,000 secured convertible debenture agreement with interest to accrue on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to ten percent (10%) with a third party lender and a warrant to purchase 815,217 shares of the Company’s stock. The Company’s obligations under the December 7, 2006 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 December 7, 2007 debenture is due January 6, 2007. On January 11, 2007 the due date of the December 7, 2006 debenture was extended to February 6, 2007. This note is in default. The Company is currently in the process of extending this note.
A portion or all the amounts of principle and interest due and outstanding on the December 7, 2006 debenture is convertible into shares of common stock at any time at a price equal to $.25. In addition, the December 7, 2006 debenture includes a provision for the conversion price, upon the occurrence of an event of default, to be calculated at eighty percent (80%) of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.
On December 20, 2006, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible debenture with a director in the amount of $2,644,400 at an interest rate of 10% for working capital purposes. Principal and interest are due June 20, 2007. The Company may, without premium or other prepayment penalty, prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the December 20, debenture. A portion or all the amounts of principle and interest due and outstanding on the December 20, 2006 debenture is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a price the lesser of (i) 80% of the average three (3) day trading price of the Common Stock during the three trading days immediately prior to the date of such election or (ii) $0.25 per share. Provided written notice, the Company may, without premium or other prepayment penalty, prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the December 20, 2006 debenture. Following the date of the notice of prepayment, the Holder shall have a period of fifteen (15) calendar days to exercise the conversion rights provided.
On February 15, 2007, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible debenture with a director in the amount of $850,000 at an interest rate of 10% for working capital purposes. Principal and interest are due May 15, 2007. The Company may, without premium or other prepayment penalty, prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the February 15, 2007 debenture. A portion or all the amounts of principle and interest due and outstanding on the February 15, 2006 debenture is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a price the lesser of (i) 80% of the average three (3) day trading price of the Common Stock during the three trading days immediately prior to the date of such election or (ii) $0.25 per share. Provided written notice, the Company may, without premium or other prepayment penalty, prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the December 20th debenture. Following the date of the notice of prepayment, the Holder shall have a period of fifteen (15) calendar days to exercise the conversion rights provided.
On March 14, 2007, the Company entered into a $1,250,000 secured convertible debenture agreement with interest to accrue on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to ten percent (10%) with a third party lender. The Company’s obligations under the March 14, 2007 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 March 14, 2007, debenture is due March 14, 2009, and currently is in default due to the non-payment of the principal and interest at the date of maturity of the December 7, 2006 debenture.
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 is 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 is 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 $1,565,200. 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 was 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. The weighted average effective interest rate is 53.45%.
The proceeds received from the December 7, 2006 Convertible Debentures 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. The fair value of the warrants of $51,700 and the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments of $68,900 was less than the proceeds received and the loan was recorded at $68,900.
There were no warrants issued in conjunction with the December 20, 2006 debenture. The loan was recorded at the fair value of $704,600.
At March 31, 2007, the following amounts were outstanding under the Convertible Debentures. See Note 12 for information on the derivative instrument liabilities related to the warrant issued and the bifurcated embedded derivative instruments related to the accompanying Convertible Debentures.

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.
In valuing the warrants and the bifurcated derivative liability instruments, at the time they were issued and at March 31, 2007, 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 March 31, 2007, the following derivative liabilities related to common stock warrant and embedded derivative instruments were outstanding:

On April 3, 2007, the Company entered into a $325,000 convertible debenture with a third party lender. The note bears interest at 10% and is due on April 3, 2009. The Company’s obligations under the April 3, 2007 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
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 March 31, 2007, upon conversion of the secured convertible notes (excluding accrued interest), based on market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price of $0.72.

Financing through 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.
The Company received $420,000 of additional financing from a director of the Company. On April 26, 2006, the Company entered into an unsecured short-term promissory note with a director in the amount of $420,000 at an interest rate of 10% for working capital purposes. Principal and interest were originally due October 26, 2006 and have been extended for another six months to April 25, 2007. As of March 31, 2007 principal and interest totaled $67,474 and $23,167 respectively.
During 2006, the Company received $3,006,230 of conventional debt financing from a director of the Company. In addition, the Company received $1,017,500 of the conventional debt financing from a third party. The total received from the director and third party total $4,023,730.
On December 12, 2006 $3,006,230 of the Company’s Notes Payable and $112,123 of accrued interest was repaid with 13,558,058 shares at a per share price of $.23 which is calculated at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) 80% of the average three (3) day trading price of the Common Stock (on the OTC-BB or other exchange on which the Common Stock is then trading) during the three trading days immediately prior to the date of such election or (ii) $0.25 per share.
On December 12, 2006 $1,017,500 of the Company’s Notes Payable and $51,139 of accrued interest was repaid with 4,646,257 shares at a per share price of $.23 which is calculated at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) 80% of the average three (3) day trading price of the Common Stock (on the OTC-BB or other exchange on which the Common Stock is then trading) during the three trading days immediately prior to the date of such election or (ii) $0.25 per share.
The following table summarizes the dates funds were received, the interest accrued and the total number of shares issued to satisfy the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance.

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. Currently, the Company has engaged an experienced liquid bulk terminal storage engineering consulting and contracting firm to inspect, assess, clean the terminals, and manage the refurbishment and upgrading of various operating equipment and tanks to bring the terminals into proper operating condition. Assessments of the total costs needed to complete the terminal project costs range from as low as $8,500,000 and as high as $10,000,000.
On February 20, 2007 the Company completed the purchase of the Ashland Inc. property located at 75 Pineridge Drive, located in the city of Spartanburg, of Spartanburg County, South Carolina. Total consideration provided was $327,500. This site is estimated to by operational in the first quarter 2008 at a refurbishment cost range between $3,500,000 and $4,500,000. Additionally, if the total refurbishment and upgrade costs are in excess of the amount already borrowed, we will need to secure additional funding in a timely manner. Failure to do so 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. We are not aware of any 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.
In June 2006, FASB issued FIN 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with FASB 109 Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
In September 2006 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishing 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.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159), which permits an entity to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Pursuant to SFAS No. 159, entities that elect the fair value alternative will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value alternative may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions, as long as it is applied to the instrument in its entirety. The fair value alternative election is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value must be displayed on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity (1) makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year, (2) has not yet issued financial statements, and (3) elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. We are evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 159 to determine the potential impact, if any, the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

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 $7,012,498 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $7,077,149 as of March 31, 2007 and a net loss of $21,112,243 and a cash flow deficiency from operations of $9,663,352 for the period from June 1, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2007. 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. We do not have sufficient funds on hand to fund our current operations. 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 March 31, 2007.
Accounting policies, methods and estimates are an integral part of our consolidated financial statements and are based upon management’s current judgments. Certain accounting policies, methods and estimates are particularly important because of their significance to the consolidated financial statements. Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II Item 7 of this report, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies, estimates and methods we use. The following is a discussion of what we believe to be the most critical of these policies and methods.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NewGen Technologies, Inc., its wholly-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
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation 46, (R) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. 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.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose the nature of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 as of the valuation date, NewGen Technologies Inc.’s disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting are effective.
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 three 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.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
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. 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 Scott Deininger, a former employee, has sued NewGen for breach of contract after his employment was terminated. He currently serves as a member of the Board. The Company is seeking to settle the claim. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company.
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 and was extended to June 19, 2006. However, the Company was contractually obligated to pay liquidated damages from this date to the effective deadline date September 15, 2006. As such, $171,000 was reduced from the loan proceeds received. The above debentures are currently in default due to non-payment of another debenture not paid on its maturity date.
The Company is currently in default for the non-payment of the December 6, 2006, debenture. The principal amount of $1,100,000 was due on February 6, 2007, subsequent to a 30 day extension.
In addition, the company is in default for the non-payment of interest on the $675,000 convertible debenture issued to a former director. The December 6, 2006 non-payment and lack of interest payment default have resulted in all the convertible debentures to be in a default status.
The Company defaulted on a convertible debenture, from a former director, with a 10% interest rate entered into on February 15, 2007 with a maturity date for payment of principal in the amount of $850,000 and interest in the amount of $21,014 as of May 15, 2007.
