GOING CONCERN/MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Note 2 — GOING CONCERN/ MANAGEMENT’S PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, has suffered significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations, and has negative working capital, which circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and as of September 30, 2011 has an accumulated deficit of approximately $107.6 million and a working capital deficiency of approximately $8.7 million. During 2010, the Company discontinued the operations at its Woodbridge facility, acquired a license to treat Industrial Waste Water and acquired the TerraSphere business. In addition, the Company currently has manufacturing capabilities at its Gonzales facility as a means to generate revenues and cash. Although the Gonzales facility is currently cash flow positive, the anticipated costs associated with corporate overhead and for the operations of TerraSphere will cause the Company to have negative cash flow in 2011. In addition, the Company feels that it will require cash, either through financing or equity transactions, in order to build out the IWR and TerraSphere projects planned for 2011.
Presently, the Company’s liquidity is limited to cash on hand at September 30, 2011. In addition, in connection with recent financings, the Company has warrants outstanding that if exercised could provide the Company with additional cash. However, the Company’s stock price has closed at both above and below the exercise price of these warrants, and it is not likely that any warrants would be exercised unless the price of its common stock was greater than the exercise price of the warrants. There is no assurance that the holders of the warrants will exercise the warrants in the near term, and as such, we may not receive these funds.
If the Company does not receive additional funds, whether as a result of the exercise of outstanding warrants, or otherwise, the Company will not have sufficient cash to be able to continue its operations. The Company has projected that there is sufficient cash to operate until the end of 2011 assuming there is no expenditures of cash on future IWR, TerraSphere, or fertilizer capital projects. However, the Company’s business strategy involves growing the IWR and TerraSphere divisions, and expects that the Company will require additional cash prior to the end of 2011. At this time, the Company does not have any commitments for additional financing, and there is no assurance that capital in any form will be available on terms and conditions that are acceptable or at all. If the Company docs not raise funds before it exhausts its current cash position the Company will be unable to continue operations. The Company anticipates that it will exhaust its cash position as of December 31, 2011 and unless additional financing can be secured (for which there are no commitments) the Company will not be able to continue operations after December 31, 2011. Therefore, in the fourth quarter of 2011, in order to conserve cash, the Company began to implement plans to continue California operations while curtailing all but essential personnel at the Corporate level and cease all operations at the TerraSphere division and all operations at the IWW division other than the operations at the South Canyon Land fill. In addition, the Company is in negotiations, with an investor, whereby the Company would spin off the TerraSphere division. These negotiations have not been completed.
