ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION   ORGANIZATION American Soil  Technologies,  Inc. (the "Company" or "American Soil"),  formerly Soil Wash  Technologies,  Inc., was  incorporated  in the state of California on September 22, 1993. On November 24, 1999,  the Company  entered into an exchange agreement for the reverse acquisition of New Directions  Manufacturing,  Inc., a publicly  traded  Nevada  corporation  incorporated  on  January  9, 1997  ("New Directions"), wherein New Directions would acquire the assets of the Company and change its name to American Soil Technologies,  Inc. This exchange agreement was effective as of the close of business on December 31, 1999.   The  Company is  primarily  engaged in the  marketing  of polymer and other soil amendments to the agricultural turf and horticulture  industries.  The Company's products are used to decrease water usage,  increase nutrient retention in soil, enhance seed  germination and sprout  emergence,  clarify ponds and increase the effectiveness  of chemical  fertilizers and biological  additives.  In 2006, the Company acquired the patent to a slow release  fertilizer.  The Company also has exclusive license rights to the use of patented polymer application  techniques, as well as numerous  patents on a unique machine  designed to inject polymer and other liquid products into existing turf and some crops.   The Company also expanded to provide next-generation and sustainable fertilizers thru the acquisition of Smart World Organics,  Inc.  ("Smart World") on December 20, 2006.  Simultaneously,  the Company  entered into an  Intellectual  Property Purchase Agreement with the founder of Smart World, Ray Nielsen ("Nielsen") that included certain formulas originally believed to be proprietary and intellectual properties  used in the business of Smart  World.  The  formulas  acquired  from Nielsen were deemed not to be proprietary and subsequently deemed to have little or no value (see Note 5). Smart World sells homogenized  fertilizers,  non-toxic insect controls, plant protectants,  seed, and soil and silage inoculants. Smart World also provides advanced,  custom-formulated  products built to suit unusual growing conditions and environments.  Due to losses incurred in 2008, management terminated  Smart World employees and seeks to operate through  commission-based sales  representatives.  Additionally,  the Company has several debt obligations that are past the  contractual  maturity  date or are due and payable due to non payment of interest.   GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS The Company has sustained  significant losses and has an accumulated  deficit of $28,031,374 and negative working capital of $6,843,650 as of September 30, 2011. The  ability of the Company to continue  as a going  concern is  dependent  upon obtaining  additional capital and financing,  and generating positive cash flows from operations.  The Company intends to seek additional  capital either through debt or  equity  offerings  and is  attempting  to  increase  sales  volume  and operating  margins  to  achieve  profitability.  Due  to  the  current  economic environment and the Company's current financial condition,  management cannot be assured there will be adequate  capital  available when needed and on acceptable terms.  These factors  raise  substantial  doubt about the Company's  ability to continue  as a going  concern.  The  financial  statements  do not  include  any adjustments  relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
