Note 2: Management's consideration of going concern matters

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial loses from operations in recent years, and such losses have continued through the unaudited quarter ended March 31, 2012.

At March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,933,000, a decrease of $1,123,000 from December 31, 2011. The Company has incurred net losses since inception, including a net loss of $1,544,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $115,055,000 at March 31, 2012.

Based upon management's projections, we will require additional capital to continue commercialization of the Company’s power and water technologies (the “Technologies”) and to support current operations. The Company had a working capital deficit of $5,752,000 at March 31, 2012. Any change to management projections will increase or decrease this deficit.
