NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Organization, History and Significant Accounting Policies and Procedures
Organization and History
R.G. Global Lifestyles, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in California on July 12, 1985 as International Beauty Supply Ltd. The name of the corporation was changed on May 28, 1993 to L.L. Knickerbocker Co., Inc., and thereafter on January 9, 2003 to the present name, R.G. Global Lifestyles, Inc.
The Company operates in the wastewater treatment business. Recently, the Company has changed its strategy from solely a build to sell manufacturing environment to include a royalty based model whereby the Company would license its DynIX™ Technology. Currently the Company is focusing its efforts toward potential customers in Australia. They are drilling thousands of Coal Seam Gas wells, (CSG as they call it in Australia) which produce millions of barrels of “produced water”. This produced water has to be processed and utilized in environmentally sound ways to satisfy the regulations of the Queensland Government. This area has tremendous potential for our DynIX ™ Technology and we are currently exploring multiple opportunities.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company decided to discontinue its energy drink operations and focus completely on marketing its water treatment technology. As a result, the Company has classified balances related to its energy drink business as discontinued operations in its financial statements as of March 31, 2009.
Note 2 – Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2009 included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. The financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Aquair, Inc. (inactive), its majority owned subsidiary OC Energy Drink, Inc. (inactive), after elimination of all material inter-company accounts and transactions. OC Energy is classified as discontinued operations.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the valuation of derivatives, equity instruments such as options and warrants, and the percentage of completion related to construction contracts, impairment of assets held for sale and intangible assets related to its water treatment technology. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations
Credit Risk
At times, the Company maintains cash balances at a financial institution in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. In addition, at we extend credit to customers in the normal course of business, after we evaluate the credit worthiness. We do not expect to take any unnecessary credit risks causing significant causing write-offs of potentially uncollectible accounts.
Customer
During the six months ending September 30, 2009, the Company discontinued doing business with its only customer for water treatment. The loss of this customer has had a significant impact on the Company’s financial results, see Note 3.
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”), codified into 260. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, after giving effect to dilutive common stock equivalents, such as stock options, warrants and convertible debt. The following is a summary of outstanding securities which have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
| | | | | | |
Common stock options | | | 4,703,955 | | | | 3,520,215 | |
Common stock warrants | | | 16,444,328 | | | | 3,582,433 | |
Secured convertible notes | | | 9,532,700 | | | | - | |
Totals | | | 30,680,983 | | | | 7,102,648 | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the Financial Accountings Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” (formerly SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events). FASB ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 is effective for interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC 855 during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements, December 24, 2009, and has disclosed the events identified within this filing.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (formerly SFAS No. 168 The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162). ASC 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. ASC 105, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC 105 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 with no impact to its financial statements, except for the changes related to the referencing of financial standards.
Note 3 - Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, during the six months ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred an operating loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $721,100, and used $314,683 of cash for operations. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,134,577. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain equity and/or debt financing and ultimately achieving profitable operations from the development of its business segments. During the six months ended September 30, 2009, the Company funded operations through debt and equity offerings. Currently, the Company does not have any commitments or assurances for additional capital. In fiscal 2009, the Company commenced production under the water treatment contract with a customer but shut down the plant in April 2009 due to its inability to negotiate a higher royalty rate. In addition, the Company’s only customer has declined to move forward with constructing additional water treatment facilities. There can be no assurance that the revenue from these contracts will be sufficient for the Company to achieve profitability in its operations, and it is possible that additional equity or debt financing may be required to for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company estimates it has current cash reserves sufficient to fund operations through Q3 of fiscal 2010. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities, which might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Note 4 – Property and Equipment
Property and equipment as of September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 consisted of the following:
| | September 30, 2009 | | | March 31, 2009 | |
Office equipment, computer software, and furniture and fixtures | | $ | 55,217 | | | $ | 47,254 | |
Accumulated depreciation | | | (22,268 | ) | | | (16,739 | ) |
Total | | $ | 32,949 | | | $ | 30,515 | |
During the six months years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $5,528 and $308,930, respectively.
Note 5 – Assets Held for Sale – Impairment of Asset
On December 8, 2008, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to sell its only existing water treatment plant to a third party. As a result, the Company had classified the plant as Assets Held for Sale under SFAS 144, codified into FASB ASC 360. In April 2009, the MOU was terminated because the Company was unable to close the transaction largely due to the inability to obtain a higher royalty under the Yates contact and the unwillingness of Yates to add additional plants. In connection with the cancellation of the MOU, the Company has shut the plant down due to the inability to currently run the plant at a profit and ultimately the contract was cancelled. The Company is currently in negotiations with other potential customers to purchase the plant. However, to do so the plant will have to be moved to an alternative location. Thus, the costs to sell the plant increased substantially and the fair market value of the plant decreased upon cancellation of the MOU as some of the costs cannot be recaptured upon sale. The Company determined the fair value of the plant through estimating the fair market value of the assets based on the original purchase price and the residual value. The Company has only included assets in which could be transported to a new location. As a result, the Company determined that the carrying value of the plant had been impaired and recorded a loss on impairment on assets held for sale of $1,988,658 during the year ended March 31, 2009. The net book value of the assets held for sale is $411,722 as of September 30, 2009.
Based on initial discussions with potential replacement customers it appears that the Company is expected to have a continued interest in the assets and thus has continued to reflect the asset as continued operations. Subsequent to September 30, 2009, a vendor was given a summary judgment allowing the potentially foreclosure on the assets of the plant. The Company does not expect to have a future interest in the plant due to this judgment. Due to these circumstances, the Company evaluated the time line of events and factors in determined that the filing of the request for summary judgment by the vendor was a change in the legal landscape that directly impacted the carrying value of the plant. Prior to the summary filing, the Company expected the case to go to trial in February 2010. Thus, the Company expects to record a further impairment of the plant during the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently determining the impact on the financial statements.
Note 6 – DynIX™ Technology
During fiscal 2007, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Catalyx Fluid Solutions, Inc. (“Catalyx”) pursuant to which the Company acquired certain technology, know-how, and patent rights related to water treatment for use in the oil and gas industry. In addition, per the terms of the acquisition agreement the initial $200,000 paid will be offset against future royalties of $0.01 per barrel of water treated and 5% of equipment sold based on the Catalyx technology. Royalties earned by Catalyx during the six month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, were $4,679 and $4,566, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded amortization expense of $28,801 and $165,604, respectively.
Note 7 – Discontinued Operations
The Company has recently changed its focus to its water treatment segment due to the decrease in energy drink revenues at OC Energy resulting from its inability to market the product or obtain any contracts to place its products with retailers. Thus, during the 4th quarter of fiscal 2009, management decided to formally discontinue the operations of OC Energy. The Company is currently attempting to sell the assets, including intangibles, but to date have been unsuccessful in finding a buyer.
In accordance with SFAS 144, OC Energy’s financial results, including those discussed above have been classified as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
The financial results of OC Energy included in discontinued operation are as follows for the three months ended September 30:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Sales | | $ | - | | | $ | 6,851 | |

Compensation expense for these plans recorded during the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $81,602 and $747,392, respectively. All amounts were recorded in general and administrative expense.
The following is a summary of activity of outstanding stock option activity for the six months ended September 30, 2009:
| | Number | |
| | of Shares | |

Although management believes its estimate regarding the fair value of the services to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that all of the subjective assumptions will remain constant, and therefore the valuation of the services may not be a reliable measure of the fair value of stock compensation or stock based payments for consulting services.
Warrants
Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of EITF 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”), codified into FASB ASC 815. EITF 07-5 applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. As a result of adopting EITF 07-5, 4,888,888 of our issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption were no longer afforded equity treatment. These warrants have an exercise price of $0.90 and expire in May of 2013; however, these warrants have exercise price reset features in the event the Company issues common stock below the exercise price of the warrants. As such, effective April 1, 2009, we reclassified the cumulative effect of the fair value of these common stock purchase warrants from equity to liability status as if these warrants were treated as a derivative liability on April 1, 2009. We reclassified from additional paid-in capital, $3,117,617, $2,642,907 from accumulated deficit and $474,710 to a long-term warrant liability to recognize the fair value of such warrants on such date.

All future changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, we estimate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:
| | September 30, | | April 1, |
| | 2009 | | 2009 |
Annual dividend yield | | | - | | | | | |
Expected life | | | 3.67 | | | | 4.17 | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 1.65 | % | | | 1.65 | % |
Expected volatility | | | 250 | % | | | 250 | % |
Expected volatility is based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using weekly pricing observations for recent periods that correspond to the remaining life of the warrants. We believe this method produces an estimate that is representative of our expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants. We currently have no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of these warrants is likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The expected life is based on the remaining term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on five-year U.S. Treasury securities.
The fair value of these common stock purchase warrants declined to $219,998 as of September 30, 2009. As such, we recognized a gain of $254,712 from the change in fair value of these warrants for the six months ended September 30, 2009.

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
On June 11, 2008, the Company and Grant King was served a lawsuit from one of its note holders claiming that the Company defaulted on repayment on a note payable in the amount of $350,000 plus interest at 8%. The note is convertible into common stock at a rate of $0.20 per share. The complaint asks for payment of these amounts plus damages. On August 12, 2008, the parties agreed to stipulated order whereby Grant King was dismissed from the lawsuit and the Company was granted a 90-day extension to respond to the complaint (until November 10, 2008) in exchange the Company paid $49,530 which represents the interest due on the note through July 18, 2008. On January 30, 2009, the Company paid $8,016 of additional interest on the note making it then current, and entered into a stipulation whereby the Company had until February 19, 2009 to satisfy this entire note obligation. The Company failed to do so and on April 1, 2009, a judgment was entered against it. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has the principal of $350,000 and accrued interest of $10,295 recorded in the financial statements.
On July 11, 2008, the Company received notice that one of the Company’s vendors filed a lien against the Company’s water treatment plant for past due amounts due to the vendor. As of September 30, 2009, the vendor was due approximately $140,310, which is included in accounts payable. The Company disputed this lien and a lawsuit was filed by the vendor. On October 29, 2009, the vendor filed a motion for summary judgment. The Company did not respond to the summary judgment. On or around December 12, 2009, the Wyoming court issued a stipulated judgment allowing the vendor to foreclose and liquidate the water treatment plant and recoup principle balance of $140,310, pre-judgment interest of $21,563 and costs $1,097. See Note 5 for discussion related to additional impairment of the water treatment plant.
On July 17, 2009, the Company received notice that one of the Company’s vendors filed a lien against the Company’s water treatment plant for past due amounts due to the vendor for hauling waste water. The disputed amount totaled approximately $145,000, which is included in accounts payable. No additional amounts for damages have been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statement as the Company cannot reasonably estimate the damages, if any, due to the recentness of the issue.
Water Treatment Contract
On June 25, 2007, the Company entered into contract with Yates Petroleum Corporation (“YPC”) to engineer, design, and install a water treatment system (“System”) of Coal Bed Methane (“CBM”) produced water provided by YPC. The Company will own and operate the System and regeneration waste pond. The Company will receive a base rate under the contract of $0.125 (12.50 cents) per barrel (42 US gallons) of water discharged by the System. The term of the contract was for 60 months from the start of the first billing cycle.
YPC was responsible for constructing the inflow pond and will receive a credit from the Company of $50,000 each month for the first six months of operation. In addition, YPC received reimbursements on current billings for future repairs and maintenance to the inflow pond. As of September 30, 2009, the Company accrued $230,972 related to reimbursement of costs due to YPC for the construction of the inflow pond and repair and maintenance incurred on behalf of the Company which is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheet. The Company expensed these costs as the future cash flows of the facility did not support the carrying value of the plant at the time the expenditures were incurred. In April 2009, due to the customers unwillingness to change the royalty rate under the contract the Company shut down the plant and subsequently cancelled the contract.
Yates was named as a co-defendant in connection with a lawsuit filed by a vendor. In connection with this suit, Yates filed a cross-claim against the Company. Yates claims that the Company violated the contract and has damaged Yates. Specific liabilities mentioned relate to the non-payment of credits and reimbursed expenditures totaling $236,306. In addition, the cross-claim requests that the court order the Company to provide a plan for the remove of the System and reimburse Yates for legal fees in connection with the lawsuit filed against them. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has only accrued items discussed in the preceding paragraph.
Note 13 – Related Party Transactions
From time to time, Grant King, Chief Executive Officer, loans the Company monies for operating purposes. The loan accrues interest at 11% and is due upon demand. During the six months ended September 30, 2009, an additional $9,500 was advanced to the Company under the terms stated above. As of September 30, 2009 amounts outstanding under the note are $51,233.
As of September 30, 2009, amounts due to Aquair Asia for Grant and Mark King’s contracted employment $189,896, which are included in accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet. During the six months ended September 30, 2009, the individuals exercised 1,226,000 options and reduced the amounts payable to them by an additional $73,560 through applying the required exercise price of $0.06 to the liability.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued a purchase order to Catalyx Fluid Solutions, Inc. (“Catalyx”), for the purchase of resin, at the approximate cost of $756,000, needed for the operation of the Company’s wastewater treatment plant in Wyoming. Catalyx is partially owned by Juzer Jangbarwala, a former Company Director and Chief Technology Officer. In addition, from time to time Catalyx has paid for various costs related to the wastewater treatment plant on behalf of the Company, for which the Company has reimbursed Catalyx. As of September 30, 2009, amounts due to Catalyx included in accounts payable were $280,000.
In July 2007, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Catalyx Engineering, Inc. (“CEI”), a company that is owned in part by Juzer Jangbarwala, a former Company Director and Chief Technology Officer, to sub-lease approximately 7,000 square feet to serve as its new corporate office in Anaheim, California. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has included $7,200 in accounts payable for rental payments due to CEI.
The Company utilized CEI for engineering services related to the design and construction of its water treatment plant in Wyoming. As of September 30, 2009, amounts due to CEI included in accounts payable were $23,803.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and other commitments in the normal course of business. The report of our independent auditors contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of recurring losses and negative cash flows. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from product sales and construction contracts, and the issuance of equity and/or debt securities. In addition to funding operations, the Company’s principal short-term and long-term liquidity needs have been, and are expected to be, the debt service requirements of its notes payable, capital expenditures and general corporate expense expenses. In addition, if sales and operations increase, the Company will be required to increase its purchases of equipment for the construction of plants utilizing the DynIX™ Technology. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,147 and liabilities outstanding of $4,360,640.
The Company believes that its existing sources of liquidity, along with cash expected to be generated from product sales and construction contracts and cash generated from the issuance of debt and equity securities, will be sufficient to fund its operations, anticipated capital expenditures, working capital and other financing requirements through Q3 of fiscal 2010. The Company will need to continue a focused program of capital expenditures to effectuate its DynIX™ Technology project constructions. In order to fund capital expenditures or increase working capital above the current plan, or complete any acquisitions, the Company may seek to obtain additional debt or equity financing. It may also need to obtain additional debt or equity financing if it experiences downturns or cyclical fluctuations in its business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if the Company fails to achieve anticipated revenue, experiences significant increases in the costs associated with products sales, or if it engages in additional strategic transactions. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that such financing will be available to it on favorable terms, or at all. If, after utilizing the existing sources of capital available to the Company, further capital needs are identified and the Company is not successful in obtaining the financing, it may be forced to curtail its existing or planned future operations.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Operating cash flows used during the six months ended September 30, 2009, amounted to $314,683. The primary use of operating cash was to pay consultants and salaries and wages. This was the result of a net loss of $427,162, offset by non-cash and non-operating items (depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and interest expense from the amortization of debt discounts) totaling ($182,452) added to net changes in current assets and liabilities of $244,931.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Investing cash flows used during the six months ended September 30, 2009, amounted to $7,952 generated primarily from the sales of minor fixed assets.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Financing cash flows during the six months ended September 30, 2009, amounted to $323,812 and consisted of a loan from a related party investor of $9,500 and proceeds from issuing common stock of $314,312.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.
The methods, estimates, and judgment we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The SEC has defined “critical accounting policies” as those accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based upon this definition, our most critical estimates relate to the fair value of warrant liabilities. We also have other key accounting estimates and policies, but we believe that these other policies either do not generally require us to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period. For additional information see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our reviewed financial statements appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report and our annual audited financial statements appearing on Form 10-K. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available, and actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk – N/A
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, our Chief Executive and Principal Accounting Officers carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. In the course of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the Principal Accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act, our management, with participation with the Company’s Chief Executive and Principal Accounting Officers, is responsible for evaluating any change in the company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during each of the issuer's fiscal quarters that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company's internal control over financial reporting.
Based on the foregoing evaluation, the Company has concluded that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Company continues to have material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On June 11, 2008, the Company and Grant King was served a lawsuit from one of its note holders claiming that the Company defaulted on repayment on a note payable in the amount of $350,000 plus interest at 8%. The note is convertible into common stock at a rate of $0.20 per share. The complaint asks for payment of these amounts plus damages. On August 12, 2008, the parties agreed to stipulated order whereby Grant King was dismissed from the lawsuit and the Company was granted a 90-day extension to respond to the complaint (until November 10, 2008) in exchange the Company paid $49,530 which represents the interest due on the note through July 18, 2008. On January 30, 2009, the Company paid $8,016 of additional interest on the note making it then current, and entered into a stipulation whereby the Company had until February 19, 2009 to satisfy this entire note obligation. The Company failed to do so and on April 1, 2009, a judgment was entered against it. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has the principal of $350,000 and accrued interest of $10,295 recorded in the financial statements.
On July 11, 2008, the Company received notice that one of the Company’s vendors filed a lien against the Company’s water treatment plant for past due amounts due to the vendor. As of September 30, 2009, the vendor was due approximately $140,310, which is included in accounts payable. The Company disputed this lien and a lawsuit was filed by the vendor. On October 29, 2009, the vendor filed a motion for summary judgment. The Company did not respond to the summary judgment. On or around December 12, 2009, the Wyoming court issued a stipulated judgment allowing the vendor to foreclose and liquidate the water treatment plant and recoup principle balance of $140,310, pre-judgment interest of $21,563 and costs $1,097. See Note 5 for discussion related to additional impairment of the water treatment plant.
On July 17, 2009, the Company received notice that one of the Company’s vendors filed a lien against the Company’s water treatment plant for past due amounts due to the vendor for hauling waste water. The disputed amount totaled approximately $145,000, which is included in accounts payable. No additional amounts for damages have been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statement as the Company cannot reasonably estimate the damages, if any, due to the recentness of the issue.
Yates was named as a co-defendant in connection with a lawsuit filed by a vendor. In connection with this suit, Yates filed a cross-claim against the Company. Yates claims that the Company violated the contract and has damaged Yates. Specific liabilities mentioned relate to the non-payment of credits and reimbursed expenditures totaling $236,306. In addition, the cross-claim requests that the court order the Company to provide a plan for the remove of the System and reimburse Yates for legal fees in connection with the lawsuit filed against them.
Other than the foregoing, the Company is not aware of any litigation, either pending or threatened.
