NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY


As the Company continues its commercialization efforts of halloysite clay and iron oxide, it will require additional financing later in 2014 to fund its current operations as it has done in the past. The Company has a history of recurring losses from operations and use of cash in operating activities as it is still an exploration stage company. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company’s net loss was $3,392,929 and cash used in operating activities was $4,404,296. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had working capital of $839,922 which will not be sufficient to support its current operations for the next twelve months based on its business plan without obtaining additional financing. Collectively, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


Besides continuing its strategic business plan on generating revenue, the Company intends to explore various strategic alternatives, including the sale of equity, debt or the disposal of certain non-core assets to raise additional capital. During 2013, the Company raised gross proceeds of $16,060,000 pursuant to the sale of common stock and issuance of convertible PIK Notes. Management can also take steps to reduce the Company’s future operating expenses as needed.  However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital as needed.  The condensed consolidated 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.
