growth of ConsERV™ and other products as they are introduced into
their respective sales
channels.

|
Obtaining
capital in a timely manner for the necessary steps outlined above to

·
|
Water
Clean-up or “NanoClean”: We expect that this application would function to
remove quantities of salt and other impurities from water to produce
potable water using an environmentally friendly design that
would use less energy and be less expensive than current methods. We
have developed a functional table-top demonstration unit which highlights
the basics of how this system works using the Company’s nano-structured
materials to clean water. This demonstration unit is being used
as the basis for the product’s next planned inflexion point: a small pilot
plant. The NanoClean product is currently in the middle to late stages of
Alpha/Beta development.
|
·
|
Water
Based HVAC system or “NanoAir”: We expect this application would function
to dehumidify and cool air in warm weather, or humidify and heat in cold
weather. This NanoAir application is designed to be capable of
replacing a traditional refrigerant loop based heating/cooling system. The
Company has a small prototype showing fundamental heating, cooling,
humidification, and dehumidification operation of this evolving product.
The NanoAir product is in the middle to late stages of
Alpha/Beta development.
|
·
|
Ultra-capacitor:
Based on initial tests conducted by a third party, we believe that by
applying a combination of our nano-materials we may be able to construct a
device which stores energy similar to a battery with projected increases
in energy density and lifetimes. The key application for such a
device would be in
transportation.

|
Selectivity:
Based on our research, we believe that when the polymer is made there are
small channels created that are 5 to 30 nanometers in diameter. There are
two types of these channels: hydrophilic (water permeable), and
hydrophobic (water impermeable). The channels can be chemically tuned to
be highly selective for the ions or molecules they transfer. The high
selectivity of the polymer can be adjusted to efficiently transfer water
molecules from one face to the other using these
channels.
|
·
|
High
transfer rate: Based on in-house testing protocols and related results, we
have found that the channels created when casting the materials into a
nano-structured membrane have a transfer rate of water, or flux, greater
than 90% of an equivalent area of an open tube. This feature is
fundamental to the material’s ability to transfer moisture at the
molecular level while substantially allowing or disallowing the transfer
of other substances at a molecular
level.
|
·
|
Unique
surface characteristic: The materials offer a surface characteristic
that we believe inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungus and algae and
prevents adhesives from
attaching.

|
We
are raising immediate working capital by private sales of equity to
existing shareholders and/or note holders. The Company plans to raise a
total of $500,000 by May 31, 2009. We expect these funds, in combination
with working capital generated from operations, to sustain the Company’s
operations through August
2009.
|
2.
|
We
are currently holding preliminary discussions with parties who are
interested in licensing, purchasing the rights to, or establishing a joint
venture to commercialize, certain applications of our
technology.
|
3.
|
We
are seeking growth capital from certain strategic and/or government
(grant) related sources. In addition to said capital, these sources may,
pursuant to any agreements that may be entered into in conjunction with
such funding, assist in the product definition and design, roll-out, and
channel penetration of our products. As part of this step we
will attempt to take advantage of key programs associated with the
recently enacted American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009.

Going
Concern (continued)
|
1.
|
We
are raising short-term working capital by private sales of equity to
existing shareholders and/or note holders. The Company plans to raise a
total of $500,000 by May 31, 2009. We expect these funds, in combination
with working capital generated from operations, to sustain the Company’s
operations through August 2009.
|
2.
|
We
are currently holding preliminary discussions with parties who are
interested in licensing, purchasing the rights to, or establishing a joint
venture to commercialize, certain applications of our
technology.
|
3.
|
We
are seeking growth capital from certain strategic and/or government
(grant) related sources. In addition to said capital, these sources may,
pursuant to any agreements that may be developed in conjunction with such
funding, assist in the product definition and design, roll-out, and
channel penetration of our products. As part of this step we
will attempt to take advantage of key programs associated with the
recently enacted American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009.
|

|
Significant
Accounting Policies
|
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
|
3.
|
Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
|
|
The
Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable. The carrying
amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value, due
to the short-term nature of these items and the use of market interest
rates.
|
|
All
cash, other than held in escrow, is maintained with a major financial
institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the
amount of insurance provided on such
deposits.
|
|
Cash
held in escrow at December 31, 2007 consists of convertible note proceeds
associated with a closing that occurred on that date. These funds were
held in escrow pending the receipt of the signed secured convertible
promissory notes, and were released from escrow on January 3,
2008.
|
|
Accounts
receivable consist primarily of receivables from the sale of our ERV
products. The Company regularly reviews accounts receivable for any bad
debts based on an analysis of the Company's collection experience,
customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Based on
management's review of accounts receivable, no allowance for doubtful
accounts is considered necessary at December 31, 2008 and
2007.
|
|
Direct
loan costs incurred with the issuance of notes payable are deferred and
amortized to interest expense over the life of the related notes
payable. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the
Company recorded amortization of direct loan costs of $102,416 and
$23,540, respectively.
|
|
Inventory
consists of raw materials and work-in-process and is stated at the lower
of cost, determined by first-in, first-out method, or
market. Market is determined based on the net realizable value,
with appropriate consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels,
deterioration and other factors. At December 31, 2008 and 2007,
the Company had $2,043 and $0 of in-process inventory,
respectively.
|
3.
|
Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
|
|
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging
from 5 to 7 years. Depreciation expense was approximately $8,500 and
$3,500 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Gains
and losses upon disposition are reflected in the statement of operations
in the period of disposition. Maintenance and repair expenditures are
charged to expense as incurred.
|
|
Patents
are amortized over their estimated useful or economic lives of 15 years.
Patent amortization expense was approximately $9,300 for each of the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Total patent amortization
expense for the next five years is estimated to be approximately $9,000
per year.
|
|
Long-lived
assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be
recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and
circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. When
impairment indicators exist, the Company uses market quotes, if available
or an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related
asset or asset group over the remaining life in measuring whether or not
the asset values are recoverable. There have been no significant
impairments of long-lived assets during the two-year period ended
December 31, 2008.
|
|
Expenditures
for research, development, and engineering of products are expensed as
incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company
incurred research and development costs of approximately $36,000 and
$9,000, respectively.
|
|
Stock
issuance costs are recorded as a reduction of the related proceeds through
a charge to stockholders’ equity.
|
|
The
Company records common stock issuances when all of the legal requirements
for the issuance of such common stock have been
satisfied.
|
|
Sales
are recorded when products are shipped to the customer. No products or
parts are delivered with any contingencies except for
defects.
|
3.
|
Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
|
|
Amounts
collected on behalf of governmental authorities for sales taxes and other
similar taxes are reported on a net
basis.
|
|
Revenue
derived from the sale of licenses is deferred and recognized as revenue on
a straight-line basis over the life of the license, or until the license
arrangement is terminated. The Company recognized revenue of
approximately $84,100 from license agreements for each of the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007.
