NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008


(unaudited)





1. Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations:





Unaudited Interim Financial Statements





The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements, which include the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial information has not been audited and should not be relied upon to the same extent as audited
financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes as contained in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments,
including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.





Description of Business





Vista International Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”) is in the business of developing, commercializing and operating renewable energy and waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies and projects. The Company’s mission is to provide a clean, dependable, cost-competitive alternative energy to
fossil fuels. We plan to develop projects with government, community, industry and financial partners to recover the available carbon based energy from materials previously considered “waste” and destined for disposal. The recovery of energy from waste using our Thermal GasifierTM diverts large volumes of material from landfills and other disposal sites, while providing clean alternative energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.





The Company is focusing its business on two areas, which are presently conducted in two separate facilities:





·
Tire processing and storage operations in Hutchins, Texas; and


·
Renewable energy and waste-to-energy (WTE) utilizing the Company’s Thermal GasifierTM technology and corporate/administrative offices in Denver, Colorado





Nathaniel Energy Oklahoma Holdings Corporation, a majority owned subsidiary of Vista International Technologies, Inc. was dissolved effective July 23, 2009.  The assets of Nathaniel Energy Oklahoma Holdings Corporation were sold in April of 2006 and the subsidiary has been inactive since the sale of its
assets.





Liquidity, Going Concern, and Management’s Plan





The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a net loss of $346,638 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. At September
30, 2009 the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,945,725, and an accumulated deficit of $64,680,584.


Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to generate sufficient cash flow or obtain equity investment or additional financing to meet obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to achieve profitable operations.  There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available at rates favorable to the Company, or at all.




Management plans to focus the Company’s resources in four key areas:


·
Thermal Gasifier TM engineering design


·
Improvements and additional equipment for the Hutchins, TX tire processing facility


·
Development of core business opportunities


·
Attracting strategic investment





Management considers the Thermal Gasifier TM and waste-to-energy segment to be our core business. However, significant focus is being placed on the improvement of the tire processing operation at our Hutchins, TX facility to increase production and reduce operating costs, so as to continue providing increasing revenues, and a positive
cash flow for the Company. It is management’s belief that by improving all facets of Company operations, we will be better situated to attract investors looking to enter the waste-to-energy and renewable energy marketplace.





Management believes that current revenue levels will not be sufficient to meet our operational needs or to execute our complete business plan. We are seeking additional funding for the activities described above. The Company is exploring numerous financing opportunities but has no agreements or commitments for funding
at the present time. Future funding may be through an equity investment, debt or convertible debt. Current market conditions present uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to secure additional funds, as well as its ability to reach full profitability. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional financing, or obtain favorable terms on such financing if it is available, or as to the Company’s ability to achieve positive earnings and cash flows from operations. Any
continued negative cash flows and lack of liquidity create significant uncertainty about the Company’s ability to fully implement its operating plan, as a result of which the Company may have to reduce the scope of its planned operations. If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s liquidity requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its technology and product development programs, or obtain funds, if available, through strategic alliances that may require
the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies products, or to discontinue its operations entirely.





During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company received $2,050 from Vista International, Inc., a shareholder, for 20,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.





On August 3, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement with Ing. Gianfranco Licursi, an engineer in the waste-to-energy industry based in Northern Italy, for the purpose of advancing the Thermal GasifierTM technology.  This engineer will serve as a consultant, in conjunction with Mustang Consulting,
on the engineering design and preparation of an MFG-8, Thermal GasifierTM for fabrication. Once the fabrication of this gasifier is completed, it will be commissioned for demonstration, marketing and testing purposes. The agreement has a term of six months, with an option for renewal based on the mutual agreement of the parties. This consultant, along with Mustang Consulting, is working with Extra Group, S.r.l., (“Extra”) an engineering design and fabrication company in Italy, for the completion
of this demonstration gasifier unit.  As part of the agreement, Extra is fabricating the demonstration gasifier unit at their own expense. Extra will fabricate and co-market the smaller version of the Thermal GasifierTM to take advantage of well established markets within Italy.  For each gasifier ultimately placed into service, the Company will receive a license fee.





On August 11, 2009, the Company entered into a Line of Credit Agreement (the “Line”) with Mr. Richard Strain, a significant shareholder. The purpose of the Line, which is for up to $375,000, was to allow the Company to consolidate some of its outstanding debt. The Line bears interest at 9%, and repayments
of $8,000 per month commenced on October 1, 2009.  The Company may prepay the funds at any time without penalty. Full repayment of the Line is required by December 31, 2011. The Line is secured by a first priority security interest in our assets and provides for certain equity redemption rights to Mr. Strain, on terms and conditions to be agreed upon.  No equity redemption rights have been provided as of September 30, 2009.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company has drawn approximately
$50,000 against the Line.  An additional $50,000 was drawn subsequent to September 30, 2009.


F-5


On August 12, 2009 the Company engaged the services of a third party consultant to assist the Company with negotiating and settling Company liabilities, and to perform certain legal services for the Company on a going forward basis. Significant progress was made in the settlement of judgments and other liabilities
through the end of September 2009. Subsequent to September 30, 2009 indebtedness of approximately $171,000 was settled for approximately $53,000.





Use of Estimates
  The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could vary from these estimates. A material change in these or other estimates could potentially have a material impact on results of operations. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates.
  Research and Development
  Research and development expenditures, all of which relate directly to the design and development of our Thermal GasifierTM technology, are expensed as incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we had no research and development expense.
  Property, Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation
  Property, and equipment purchased or constructed is recorded at cost. Direct costs, such as labor and materials, and indirect costs, such as overhead used during construction are capitalized. Major units of property replacements or improvements are capitalized and minor items are expensed. Gain or loss is recorded in
income for the difference between the net book value relative to proceeds received, if any, when the asset is sold or retired. Depreciation is provided for using straight-line and accelerated methods. Estimated useful lives of the assets used in the computation of depreciation are as follows:


Machinery and equipment
2-5 yearsBuildings and improvements
2-15 yearsVehicles
5 years





Depreciation expense was $126,055 and $109,663 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.





Long-Lived Assets





The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recovery of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future
net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell.  Management uses significant judgments, assumptions and estimates to calculate future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets under impairment review.


Revenue Recognition





Our tire fuel processing facility recognizes revenue in two ways. First when waste tires are accepted at the facility we receive a disposal fee (“tipping fees”) and secondly from the sale of processed tire-derived-fuel or unprocessed whole tires. The revenues from tipping fees are fully earned when the
waste tires are accepted at the facility and the processed tire shred revenues are recognized when the TDF is delivered to the end user. Internal quality controls are in place to ensure that the tire-derived-fuel meets the standards required in contracts for the delivery to our customers. This quality control reduces the risk of significant returns and allowances of TDF sold. Sales returns are reprocessed and added back to the existing production of tire derived fuel. Sales returns estimates are recorded based
on the Company’s historical experience. During 2009, the Company has not been producing any tire derived fuel due to an economic downturn that has caused the major tire derived fuel customers to cut back on their alternative fuel usage.  The Company has been working with the City of Dallas landfill to provide partially shredded tires as a leachate material and for landfill cover.   The landfill allows the Company to dispose of the partially shredded tires at a zero disposal cost.  The
only cost associated with this program is the cost of hauling the material, which is within ten miles of the tire processing facility. This arrangement with the landfill allows the Company to increase its throughput due to only partially shredding the waste tires, which enables the facility to accept more incoming waste tires thereby increasing the tipping fee revenue.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized revenue from disposal fees and sales of tire shreds
or whole tires of $503,465 and $12,211, respectively. The Company recognized no revenue from the production or sale of tire derived fuel during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.





We recognize revenue from the sale of our Thermal GasifiersTM upon completion, delivery and customer acceptance, using the completed contract method of accounting. We recognize revenue for consulting services during the period those services are provided. There were no revenues from the sale of our Thermal GasifiersTM
or consulting services during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.





Accounts Receivable/Concentration of Credit Risk





The Company utilizes the allowance method for accounts receivable valuation, providing for allowances for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers as part of its
consideration of accounts receivable collectability by performing credit evaluations of customers. Trade receivables are not collateralized. The Company generally grants credit terms to certain customers ranging from 20 to 30 days.





The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash held at commercial banks and institutions primarily in the United States, and trade receivables from the Company’s customers. The Company
maintains all cash in bank accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced a loss in such accounts.





Reclassifications





We have reclassified the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to correct for immaterial misstatements in the nine month period for interest and depreciation expense of $3,223 and $9,032 respectively and other income of $66,667.





Recent Accounting Pronouncements





The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.




2. Notes Payable





At September 30, 2009, the Company had the following promissory notes outstanding:








20093.68% installment note, secured by equipment

$
62,1059.09% capital lease, secured by software

70,000Total debt:

$
179,730





3. Related Party Transactions





At September 30, 2009, Note Payable to stockholder consists of notes payable of $500,000 due to Mr. Richard Strain, together with approximately $50,000 due to Mr. Strain under the Line (Note 1).





The notes of $500,000 bear interest at the annual rate of 9%, with interest payable quarterly and were due on various dates through November 2007. The notes are secured by a first priority security interest in Company assets.  The notes are in default and a default notice has been received. Mr. Strain has
agreed to defer collection on the notes until January 1, 2010. Interest expense on the Notes for the nine month periods to September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 was $34,906 and $34,551, respectively.





On August 3, 2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Mr. Timothy D. Ruddy, a Director of the Company. The purpose of the agreement was to formalize the terms related to working capital funding provided by Mr. Ruddy since the fourth quarter of 2008. As of September 30, 2009 that total was $158,400 and accrued
interest at September 30, 2009 was $7,424. The loans bear interest at 8% per annum, are secured by the Company’s assets, are due on demand and are convertible into the Company’s common stock based on the quoted market price of the stock at the dates the loans were made.





Included in fixed assets and capital lease obligations at September 30, 2009 is equipment leased by Mr. Ruddy on the Company’s behalf.





4. Stockholders’ Equity





Common Stock





Nine months ended September 30, 2009





During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued 349,613 shares of restricted common stock valued at $24,255 to a consultant pursuant to a consulting agreement dated June, 11, 2009. The Company owes the consultant $9,800, payable in an additional 218,860 shares of restricted common stock, for services
rendered in the period ending September 30, 2009.





During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued 980,769 shares of common stock to an individual for $60,000 in cash.





During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued 792,516 shares of common stock to Vista International, Inc. for $77,202 in cash received between October 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008 and $2,050 cash received from January 1, 2009 and March 31, 2009.





5. Income Tax





Deferred income taxes result from the temporary differences arising from differences in the timing of recognition of the state income tax provision for book and tax reporting purposes, and an accumulation of net operating loss carry-forwards for income tax purposes with a valuation allowance against the carry-forwards for book purposes.





On March 20, 2008, the Company received notification from the Internal Revenue Service of the filing of a federal tax lien in the approximate amount of $120,000 related to late payment of federal income tax, penalty and interest on the September 30, 2005 corporate income tax return of Nathaniel Energy Oklahoma Holdings
Corporation. Nathaniel Energy Oklahoma Holdings Corporation was required to file a short period federal income tax return for 2005 as the Company acquired a majority interest in Nathaniel Energy Oklahoma Holdings Corporation on that date from Mr. Richard Strain, the Company’s majority shareholder and debt holder at that time. Nathaniel Energy Oklahoma Holdings Corporation filed a consolidated return for the remainder of the 2005 tax year with Nathaniel Energy Corporation.  The short period return
gave rise to a federal income tax liability of approximately $200,000. The Company made installments against this tax liability of $120,000 during the fiscal years 2006 through September 30, 2008. The Company received notification from the IRS on June 1, 2009 that the outstanding balance is $162,569, which is included in accrued liabilities at September 30, 2009.








6. Commitments and Contingencies




Litigation and Claims





The Company entered into a termination agreement with a former employee dated February 10, 2004 for services that were performed prior to termination. The Company is required to issue to the employee 285,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value of the Company upon the Company effectuating a stock split. To date
the stock split has not taken place.   The Company has been named in a suit by the former employee alleging that the Company reneged on its obligation to issue shares to the employee.  The Company intends to vigorously defend this suit, and believes that no such shares are issuable as their issuance is contingent upon a stock split.  Accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in relation to this matter as of September 30, 2009.





The Company is subject to a variety of litigation and claims relating to past due payments for goods and services. The Company is in the process of negotiating settlement arrangements for these items.





Environmental Liability





The Company has approximately 6,350 tons of whole tires, partially shredded tires, tire chips and process waste stored onsite at the Hutchins tire processing facility at the end of September 30, 2009. The waste material consists primarily of steel belting wire with attached tire rubber and will be disposed of in a
permitted landfill. In the past, management has considered the piles of tires and tire shreds on the facility an asset to be reclaimed and sold to an end user. However, in order to reclaim the material for resale, we would need to install additional equipment to screen the material for potential contaminants in the piles such as rocks, pieces of metal and concrete. In addition, the BTU value is somewhat degraded by oxidation and weathering of the tires and tire
chips stored in the piles onsite and therefore not good for use as tire derived fuel. We have chosen not to utilize this tire chip inventory as feedstock for processing due to the economic benefit of receiving new whole tires and processing them for landfill use instead. Presently we have been able to dispose of this material to a municipal landfill site that is using the material as filter and bedding material. The municipality has expressed a longer term need for this material in their operation and the Company
expects to remove the majority of the material over the next 9 months.


Management considers the piles a potential liability if the company were to fail. In such a case, we would be required to restore the site beginning with transporting the material to a disposal site (LRPUT or landfill). In management’s opinion at September 30, 2009, the total upper range estimate for the cost of disposal is approximately $160,000 which includes labor, equipment and transportation.
We have made an arrangement with the City of Dallas landfill to dispose of the material at a zero disposal cost, as they can use the material for leachate and landfill cover. This assumes complete closure of the facility. We have provided financial assurance in the form of a surety bond and a certificate of deposit (restricted cash of $23,422) in the approximate amount of $122,000 to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality assuming ongoing operation of the facility. We have accrued $160,000 for the cost
of disposing of this material. Management has continued to remove material from the site during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to help shareholders and other readers understand the dynamics of Vista International Technologies, Inc.’s business and the key factors underlying its financial results. It explains trends in the company’s financial condition and results of operations for the period
ended September 30, 2009 compared with the operating results for the period ended September 30, 2008.





Company Overview





Our mission is to provide a lower cost, clean dependable energy alternative to fossil fuels worldwide. We plan to focus on two major business models in the commercialization of our Thermal GasifierTM technology - building, owning and operating waste-to-energy plants either on our own or with joint venture partners, and licensing our
technology to appropriate business partners in key markets.  Our tire fuel processing operation generated 100% of revenue from continuing operations, or $503,465 and $12,211 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We recognized no revenue from our Thermal GasifierTM business during 2009 or 2008. Our long term goal is to produce the majority of our revenue and cash flow from the commercialization of our Thermal GasifierTM technology. As a result, the majority
of our engineering resources are focused on this business.





Worldwide, industries and municipalities seek lower cost and clean energy alternatives to fossil fuels. Demand for these energy alternatives is expected to grow. A key to our success will be wisely choosing among project opportunities and focusing resources on projects with the greatest chance of success and returns for stockholders.





We are developing our internal resources, business alliances and advancing our business development activities to secure energy infrastructure and waste-to-energy facility opportunities that utilize our Thermal GasifierTM technology. A number of these opportunities have been discovered and management is endeavoring to secure the rights
to these projects or formulate strategic alliances with project development partners.  We plan to diversify the technology to several vertical markets that include; the organic fractions from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Municipal Sewer Sludge (MSS), in addition to Animal Waste and Agricultural Waste (or Biomass).





Additionally, we will seek project funding in some cases with joint venture partners that will be based on the size, configuration and business structure of the project.





We anticipate that the timeframe from identification of a project to completion will be 18 to 24 months, provided we obtain the requisite project financing and appropriate environmental permits.





Subject to being able to obtain funding, we plan to invest necessary capital to improve operations at our tire fuel processing facility in Hutchins, Texas during 2009 and into 2010. The tire fuel processing facility is currently the only waste tire storage and processing facility licensed by the State of Texas to operate in the Dallas Metro
area.





During August 2007, our tire processing equipment accidentally jammed, damaging one major piece of equipment and causing the processing line and the tire processing facility to shut down. At that time, management decided to purchase new tire processing equipment as the cost of new equipment was not significantly more than the cost of repairing
the damaged equipment. New equipment had not been ordered as of September 30, 2009 due to the current economic climate and the low demand for tire derived fuel. During 2009, the Company has not been producing any tire derived fuel due to an economic downturn that has caused the major tire derived fuel customers to cut back on their alternative fuel usage.  Instead of purchasing new equipment to produce tire derived fuel, the company has been working with the City of Dallas landfill to provide partially
shredded tires as a leachate material and for landfill cover.   The landfill allows the company to dispose of the partially shredded tires at a zero disposal cost.  The only cost associated with this program is the cost of hauling the material, which is within ten miles of the tire processing facility. This arrangement with the landfill allows the company to increase its throughput due to only partially shredding the waste tires, which enables the facility to accept more incoming waste
tires thereby increasing the tipping fee revenue significantly.





Our tire processing operation in Texas is subject to regulation by the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ). We are registered with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality which allows us to receive, store, transport and process waste tires. Our registration expired December 20, 2007. A permit renewal application was submitted
after obtaining local Fire Marshall’s approval and as of November 13, 2009 was in process for approval allowing for continued operation. The company has through December 31, 2009 to comply with the required assurance to receive the permit renewal for another five (5) year period. It is expected that the new permit will be issued in the near future. During the period December 20, 2007, the date our registration expired, and August 1, 2008, the date our application was resubmitted, our permit status is in
a “pending” state. And while we continue to operate the facility our storage allotments have been limited.





We continue to maintain our tire processing facility to meet the requirements of the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality’s regulations, however, should we be unable to continue to fund our assurance to maintain compliance, we could lose our permit to operate the facility.





We improved operations and removed stockpile tire shreds, whole tires and waste material during the first nine months of 2009 that previous management had allowed to accumulate at the tire processing facility.





We commenced receiving and partially processing waste tires in August 2008, and have seen volumes of waste tires that we accept increase monthly up to approximately 2000 tons per month. Management recognizes that these volumes are subject to seasonal fluctuations, and will seek to maintain established minimum volumes, so as to guarantee
steady revenue streams going forward.





Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008





Revenue





For the three months ended September 30, 2009, revenue was $278,314 compared to $5,574 during the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $272,740 or approximately 4,893.1%. Revenue increased during the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the comparative three month period in 2008, as we
had ceased accepting waste tires at the tire processing facility in Hutchins, Texas during the first seven months of 2008. During that period, we continued to reduce tire shreds and other tire related material on site which we either sold as landscape material or we paid transporters to have removed and disposed. We re-submitted our permit application to the TCEQ on August 1, 2008 and commenced operations on a limited basis in August 2008.





Cost of revenue and environmental remediation





Cost of revenue, including environmental remediation, was a negative $18,863 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $90,359 during the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $109,222 or 120.9%. The decrease in cost of revenue is primarily due to a reduction in environmental remediation
liability of approximately $191,000, offset by increase in equipment rental of approximately $3,800, an increase in depreciation of approximately $9,300, an increase in labor related cost of approximately $2,800, an increase of property taxes of $19,300, an increase in equipment repair and maintenance of approximately $10,500, an increase of outside services of approximately $27,200, a decrease in business insurance of $7,600 and a decrease in operating expenses and supplies of approximately $1,500.

This is due primarily to an increase of approximately $77,400 in consulting and accounting cost, an
increase in legal of approximately $32,000, an increase to impairment charges of $35,200 offset by a reduction in business insurance of approximately $7,700 and a reduction in labor related costs of approximately $68,000, and a decrease in penalties and fines of $83,100.





Interest expense





Interest expense was $24,004 during the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $12,543 during the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $11,461 or 91.4%.




Net loss





For the reasons stated above, net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $61,332 compared with a net loss of $308,095 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $369,427 or 119.9%.




Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.





Revenue





For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, revenue from continuing operations was $503,465 compared to $12,211 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $491,254 or approximately 4,023%. This increase was due to the restart of operations at the Hutchins, TX tire processing facility in the
fall of 2008. The facility had been shutdown for the first seven months of 2008.





Cost of revenue and environmental remediation





Cost of revenue, including environmental remediation, was $154,080 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $284,860 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $130,780 or 45.9%. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the environment liability of approximately $191,000,
a decrease in utilities expenses of approximately $12,800, a decrease in business insurance expense of approximately $30,700, and a decrease in salary and employee benefit expense including contract labor expense of approximately $5,000 offset by an  increase in property taxes of approximately $19,300, increase in repair and maintenance of approximately $16,600, increase in operating supplies of approximately $18,600, increase in outside services of approximately $22,000 and an increase in depreciation
expense of approximately $17,300.





Sales, general, and administrative expenses





Sales, general, and administrative expenses were $647,752 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $775,062 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $127,310 or approximately 16.4%. This decrease was due primarily to the reduction in personnel and employee related benefits of approximately
$143,300, a reduction in outside services of approximately $20,100, a decrease in office rent and office expenses of approximately $20,000, a decrease in business insurance of approximately $5,300, and a decrease in penalties and fines of approximately $37,600 offset by an increase in license and permits of approximately $13,900, an increase in impairment expense of approximately $35,200, and an increase in professional services  of approximately $76,700.





Interest expense





Interest expense, was $48,271 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to interest expense of $41,141 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $7,130 or 17.3%.





Net Income (Loss)





For the reasons stated above, net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $346,638, compared with the net loss of $1,087,852 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $761,214 or 68.1%.





Liquidity and Capital Resources





As of September 30, 2009, we have a negative working capital of $2,945,725 and a cash balance of $59,076. The Company’s negative working capital balance is due primarily to the curtailment of its full operation and consequential reduction in cash flows at our tire fuel processing facility in Hutchins, Texas,
inclusion of a liability of $158,987 for cleanup costs at the Hutchins facility, and the current liability classification of our notes payable due to default.





For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net cash used in operating activities of $117,427 consists primarily of the net loss of $346,638 and an increase in accounts receivable of $64,310 offset by non cash depreciation and amortization expense of $129,265, consulting fees of $63,102 for stock, a decrease in
prepaid expenses of $19,844, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $190,120.


For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities of $540,772 consists primarily of the net loss of $1,087,852 and offset by non cash depreciation expense of $112,873 and an increase in the components of working capital primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and accruals of $345,816.





For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, net cash used in investing activities was $-0- and $64,907 respectively.





Net cash provided by financing activities was $162,805 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and is comprised of payments on debt of $55,578, $60,000 proceeds from issuance of common stock, and an increase from issuance of related party notes and loans of $158,383 and net cash provided by financing activities
of $610,354 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 includes proceeds from common stock issued of $592,441 and proceeds from the issuance of notes and loans of $65,502 and offset by payments on indebtedness of $47,589.





We received funding of $2,050 during first quarter 2009, as a capital contribution from Vista International, Inc., the majority shareholder at that time in exchange for 20,500 shares of common stock during the first nine months of 2009. The $2,050 was paid to a creditor of the Company directly by Vista International,
Inc. We are exploring financing options with investors and lenders that we expect will provide additional capital either as debt or as an equity contribution to us during the remainder of 2009 for the purpose of funding ongoing operations, investing in new equipment for our tire fuel processing operations and advancing our Thermal GasifierTM technology.  However, we have not reached any terms for financing and we cannot assure that we will be able to secure financing at all, and if we are able
to do so, we cannot predict what the terms of financing will be.





We expect that our current revenue levels would be sufficient to sustain our present level of operations for the foreseeable future. However, there are current expenses relating to the settlement of certain past liabilities that may necessitate additional funding. Furthermore, the company believes it will need to secure additional investment
capital within the next few months to continue development of the next generation Thermal Gasifier TM and provide adequate funds to execute the current business plan.





The independent auditors report on our December 31, 2008 financial statements states that our recurring losses raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.





Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk





None





Item 4T. Controls and Procedures





Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures





The Company under the supervision and with the participation of the Company 's management, including Thomas P. Pfisterer, the Company 's Interim Chief Executive Officer  (the principal executive officer and principal accounting officer), performed an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of the Company disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report as of September 30, 2009.  Based on that evaluation, the  Interim Chief Executive Officer and  principal accounting  officer concluded that, because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial
reporting described below, the Company 's  disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2009 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms or to  ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.


Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting






Based on an evaluation as of December 31, 2008, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to a material weakness in our ability to produce financial statements free from material misstatements. Management reported a material weakness resulting from the combination
of the following:






·
The Company lacks sufficient accounting controls and procedures to ensure proper timing and recording of non cash transactions and that expenditures are properly allocated between the Company and its majority shareholder.






·
We lack the ability to segregate duties as it relates to recording and reconciling our accounts, however, management oversight of the approval of transactions helps mitigate this issue.






There was no change in our internal control  over  financial reporting  during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
