Introduction

 

EnerteckEnerTeck Corporation (the "Company"“Company” or "EnerTeck Parent"“EnerTeck Parent”), formerly named Gold Bond Mining Company and then Gold Bond Resources, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on July 30, 1935. On January 9, 2003, we acquired EnerTeck Chemical Corp. ("(“EnerTeck Sub"Sub”) as our wholly owned operating subsidiary. As a result of the acquisition, we are now acting as a holding company, with EnerTeck Sub as our primary operating business. Subsequent to this transaction, on November 24, 2003, we changed our domicile from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware and changed our name from Gold Bond Resources, Inc. to EnerTeck Corporation. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us"“we,” “us” or "our"“our” refer to EnerTeck Corporation and its consolidated subsidiary.

 

EnerTeck Sub, our wholly owned operating subsidiary, was incorporated in the State of Texas on November 29, 2000. It was formed for the purpose of commercializing a diesel fuel specific combustion catalyst known as EnerBurnÒEnerBurn®, as well as other combustion enhancement and emission reduction technologies. Nalco/Exxon Energy Chemicals, L.P. ("(“Nalco/Exxon L.P."), a joint venture between Nalco Chemical Corporation and Exxon Corporation commercially introduced EnerBurn in 1998. When Nalco/Exxon L.P. went through an ownership change in 2000, our founder, Dwaine Reese, formed EnerTeck Sub. It acquired the EnerBurn trademark and related assets and took over the Nalco/Exxon L.P. relationship with the EnerBurn formulator and blender, and its then supplier, Ruby Cat Technology, LLC ("(“Ruby Cat"Cat”).

 

Since the first quarter of 2011, we have owned a 40% membership interest in a newly formedan entity called EnerTeck Environmental, LLC, which was formed for the purpose of marketing and selling a diesel fuel emission reduction technology with the creators of such specific technologytechnology. Such company is presently inactive with no business operations (see "Business“Business of the Company and Current Operations"Operations” below).

 

Our principal place of business is located at 10701 Corporate Drive, Suite 150, Stafford, Texas 77477. Our telephone number is (281) 240-1787. Our corporate website address is http://www.enerteckchemical.com. Our common stock is listed on the Pink Open Market, officially part of the OTC Market Group’s OTC Link quotation system, under the symbol “ETCK”.

Business of the Company and Current Operations

 

We, through our wholly owned subsidiary, specialize in the sales and marketing, and since August 2006, in the manufacturing of a fuel borne catalytic engine treatment for diesel engines known as EnerBurnÒEnerBurn®. We utilize a sales process that includes detailed proprietary customer fleet monitoring protocols in on-road applications that quantify data and assists in managing certain internal combustion diesel engine operating results while utilizing EnerBurn. Test data prepared by Southwest Research Institute and actual customer usage has indicated that the use of EnerBurn in diesel engines improves fuel economy, lowers smoke, and decreases engine wear and the dangerous emissions of both Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and microscopic airborne solid matter (particulates). Our principal target markets have included the trucking, heavy construction, maritime shipping, railroad and mining industries, as well as federal, state and international government applications. Each of these industries share certain common financial characteristics, i.e. (i) diesel fuel represents a disproportionate share of operating costs; and (ii) relatively small operating margins are prevalent. Considering these factors, management believes that the use of EnerBurn and the corresponding derived savings in diesel fuel costs can positively affect the operating margins of its customers while contributing to a cleaner environment.

We own the EnerBurn trademark and, since July 2006, the EnerBurn formulas and technology. Prior to July 13, 2006, we obtained EnerBurn products and services from Ruby Cat and its affiliates pursuant to arrangement made with Ruby Cat. Pursuant to a memorandum of understanding with Ruby Cat which expired on December 31, 2003, the Company was granted the exclusive, global marketing rights from Ruby Cat and an option to purchase the EnerBurn technology and associated assets by December 31, 2003 for $6.6 million which was not exercised. Following expiration of the memorandum of understanding, Ruby Cat and its affiliates continued to supply EnerBurn products to the Company but not pursuant to a formal written contract. On July 13, 2006, we completed the acquisition of the EnerBurn formulas, technology and associated assets pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement executed as of the same date between the Company and the owner of Ruby Cat (see "Our“Our Purchase of the EnerBurn Technology"Technology” below).

 

The majority of our marketing effort since 2005 has been directed at targeting and gaining a foothold in one of several major target areas, including the inland marine diesel market, trucking, heavy construction and mining. Management has focused virtually all resources at pinpointing and convincing certain large potential customers within these markets, with our diesel fuel additive product lines. While we still believe that this is a valid theory, the results, to date, have been less than we had expected. For example, in 2005, we appointed Custom Fuel Services Inc., a subsidiary of Ingram Barge and which provides dockside and midstream fueling from nine service locations in Louisiana, Kentucky, Illinois, West Virginia, Missouri and Iowa, as our exclusive reseller of EnerBurn and the related technology on the Western Rivers of the United States, meaning the Mississippi River, its tributaries, South Pass, and Southwest Pass, excluding the Intra Coastal Waterway. Since 2006, sales have been sporadic with Custom and we cannot guarantee that we will ever generate meaningful revenues from our relationship with Custom.

 

A substantial portion of 2010the last few years was spent redirectingre-directing our marketing emphasis for our primary product, EnerBurn,EnerBurn. Our current sales process now requires a signed commitment letter from the prospective customer for a minimum of a 3-year supply agreement, prior to solidifythe commencement of an evaluation of any of our major customersproducts. Should the evaluation meet or exceed the established benchmarks as outlined in the evaluation protocol document, the supply agreement would become binding. We have adopted this strategy as we had numerous successful evaluations in the past that did not result in the customer moving forward and expanding to newer, more innovative areas. As such,adopting the technology, with most of those evaluations being at the Company’s expense.

Additionally, we have created marketing alliances domesticallycontracted with outside sales representatives, both in the United States and internationallyin other parts of the world to act as distributors of our products. We currently have distribution agreements with two new marketing groups, EnerGreen Technologies PTY, basedDiesel-E Pty Ltd in Australia ("EnerGreen"), and G2 Fuel Technologies, LLC ("G2 Technologies"),with Green Group in South America. Diesel-E Pty Ltd completed its first EnerBurn evaluation with Robson Civil Projects Pty Limited of Australia and is currently working on multiple other opportunities leveraging on that successful trial. Green Group is currently running two evaluations in Peru, one for a minority owned marketing firmmining railroad and another for a large mining conglomerate. We also have a representative working on mining evaluations in bothMexico and expect that once the domestic and foreign markets (see "Sales and Marketing Strategy" below").

G2 Technologies, our new Certified Minority supplier and distributor, had advised us that several of its customers would start using EnerBurn. We are hopeful that salesCOVID-19 pandemic subsides, we will commence during 2016.an evaluation at a large mine in Mexico. In the U.S. we have a representative working on a number of currently ongoing EnerBurn evaluations in the Midwest.

 

As indicated above, since the first quarter of 2011, we have owned a 40% membership interest in a newly formedan entity called EnerTeck Environmental, LLC ("(“EnerTeck Environmental"Environmental”), which was formed for the purpose of marketing and selling a diesel fuel emission reduction technology with the creators of such specific technology. EnerTeck Environmental was formed as a joint venture with Indian Nation Technologies, LLC ("(“Indian Nation"Nation”) located in Comanche, Oklahoma for the testing and manufacture of an innovative new type of environmental equipment for the remediation of diesel engine emissions for diesel engines in the marine industry. Indian Nation has filed a patent for this equipment called PExÒ (Particle Extraction) and we will hold the exclusive marketing rights for this technology for the various applications within the marine diesel industry. Testing commenced late in the first quarters of 2011 on a towboat located on the Mississippi River. The test on the PEx technology was been successfully completed, however, due to the financial insolvency of the independent testingThis company selected by the customer,is presently inactive with no certified final results from the tests were presented to either the Company or the client, which could be presented to the California Air Quality Control Board (CARB) for approval. Because the principal tester for the testing company has left the Company without completing his work, it will be necessary to run new tests with a new independent testing group before further progress can be made on achieving CARB and other approvals. Subsequent to year ended 2015, the Company was approached by a new potential JV partner/customer for the PEx technology and a project is being negotiated for the testing. It is anticipated that acceptance of this technology will open vast new marketing opportunities for us in the coming years.business operations.

The Industry

 

General Discussion of Diesel Fuel and Diesel Fuel Additives

 

As crude oil is heated, various components evaporate at increasingly higher temperatures. First to evaporate is butane, the lighter-than-air gas used in cigarette lighters, for instance. The last components of crude oil to evaporate, and the heaviest, include the road tars used to make asphalt paving. In between are gasoline, jet fuel, heating oil, lubricating oil, bunker fuel (used in ships), and of course diesel fuel. The fuel used in diesel engine applications such as trucks and locomotives is a mixture of different types of molecules of hydrogen and carbon and include aromatics and paraffin. Diesel fuel cannot burn in liquid form. It must vaporize into its gaseous state. This is accomplished by injecting the fuel through spray nozzles at high pressure. The smaller the nozzles utilized and the higher the pressure, the finer the fuel spray and vaporization. When more fuel vaporizes, combustion is more complete, so less soot will form inside the cylinders and on the injector nozzles. Soot is the residue of carbon, partially burned and unburned fuel.

 

Sulfur is also found naturally in crude oil. Sulfur is a slippery substance, and it helps lubricate fuel pumps and injectors. It also forms sulfuric acid when it burns and is a catalyst for the formation of particulate matter (one of the exhaust emissions being regulated). In an effort to reduce emissions, the sulfur content of diesel fuel is being reduced through the refinery process; however, the result is a loss of lubricity.

 

Diesel fuel has other properties that affect its performance and impact on the environment as well. The main problems associated with diesel fuel include:

 

 

·

Difficulty getting it to start burning

 

·

Difficulty getting it to burn completely

 

·

Tendency to wax and gel

 

·

With introduction of low sulfur fuel, reduced lubrication

 

·

Soot clogging injector nozzles

 

·

Particulate emissions

 

·

Water in the fuel

 

·

Bacterial growth

Diesel fuel additives have been developed to address the variety of problems associated with diesel fuel performance.

 

Diesel Fuel and the Environment

 

Diesel fuel is the most cost effectivecost-effective fuel/engine technology available for heavy-duty industrial and vehicle service. However, environmentally it needs dramatic improvement. Governments worldwide are legislating specifications regarding the fuel itself and diesel engine design.

 

Today'sToday’s advanced diesel engines are far cleaner than the smoke-belching diesels of recent decades. Unfortunately, even smokeless diesel engines are not clean enough to meet current stricter air pollution regulations.

 

While diesel engines are the only existing cost-effective technology making significant inroads in reducing "global warming"“global warming” emissions from motor vehicles, it is not sufficient to satisfy regulators and legislators. Diesel engines will soon be required to adhere to stringent regulatory/legislative guidelines that meet near "zero"“zero” tailpipe emissions, especially on smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and "toxins"“toxins”; the organic compounds of diesel exhaust.

Table of Contents

 

Diesel engines can become ultra-clean. Meeting the environmental challenges will require extensive research on clean-diesel technology. Research in this area is currently being sponsored by government agencies, major engine companies, truck manufacturers, automobile makers, catalyst producers and, for fuels, oil refining companies and their technology suppliers.

 

The search for ultra-clean diesel is far from over. Discoveries and breakthroughs will continue to prevail. Large Fortune 500 companies, as well as small, emerging technology companies are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in research and development worldwide on these and other clean-diesel technologies.

 

6

Today, there is no economic alternative to diesel engines for most industrial applications. This is true for ocean vessels, tug boats, commercial/recreational vessels, locomotive, trucking, bus transport, construction, mining, agriculture, logging, distributed power generation, and, in many parts of the world, personal transportation. In short, diesel fuel does the world'sworld’s heavy work.

 

Products and Services

 

The Diesel Fuel Additive Product Line

EnerBurn Combustion Catalyst for Diesel Fuel

 

EnerBurn is a liquid, chemical formulation, presently sold in bulk quantities to fleet and vessel operators, under three product codes differentiated by market application and product concentration, as indicated below:

 

Product

EnerBurn EC5805A

U.S. On-Road Market

EnerBurn EC5931A

U.S. Off-Road Market

EnerBurn EC5805C

International Market

 

Although added to diesel fuel and generally referred to as a diesel fuel additive within the industry, EnerBurn functions as an engine treatment application by removing carbon deposits from the combustion surfaces of the engine and greatly reducing further carbon deposit buildup. It also provides for an increased rate of combustion. By adding EnerBurn to diesel fuel in accordance with proprietary methodology, it forms a non-hazardous catalytic surface in the diesel engine combustion chamber and on the surface of the piston heads. This surface is visible in the form of a monomolecular film that develops after initiation of treatment and remains active for a period of time after cessation of treatment.

 

The buildup of carbon within the combustion chamber of a diesel engine can generate greater exhaust opacity and increased engine wear. These carbon deposits can cause piston rings to stick and reduce compression resulting in decreased engine efficiency with extended use.

 

The unique chemical formulation of EnerBurn, when applied in accordance with proprietary methodology, has been shown to produce benefits in fuel economy, NOx formation, smoke, brake horsepower and engine wear (See "Product Testing"“Product Testing”, below).

 

EnerBurn Volumetric Proportioning Injector Equipment (VPI)

 

Volumetric proportioning injection equipment is used to deliver proper dosage ratios of EnerBurn to the diesel fuel and are typically offered to our customers in support of an EnerBurn sale. Three equipment vendors supply additive injection equipment to us that is either installed at a bulk fueling depot or onboard the vehicle or vessel.

 

Product Testing

 

Southwest Research Institute

 

The Southwest Research Institute ("SWRI"(“SWRI”) of San Antonio, Texas has extensively tested the EnerBurn technology. This instituteSWRI is anone of the oldest and largest independent, nonprofit, applied engineering and physical sciences research and development organization with 11 technical divisions using multidisciplinary approaches to problem solving. The Institute occupies 1,200 acres and provides nearly two million square feet of laboratories, test facilities, workshops, and offices for moreorganizations in the 2,700United States. It has over 2,500 employees who perform contract work for industry and government clients.

Table of Contents

 

The extensive testing of EnerBurn conducted by SWRI confirmed product claims of lower highway smoke, reduced NOx emissions, a significant reduction in engine wear and an increase in horsepower. Actual customer usage data has also confirmed the claim that EnerBurn usage reduces fuel consumption.

 

A new test was completed during the first quarter of 2015 by one of our largest customers at SWRI to demonstrate the effectiveness of EnerBurn on newly developed, more efficient running diesel engines, the results of which have not been fully analyzed and reported to the Company as of the date of this report. Management believes that a successful result from this test should lead to significant new business in the marine, rail and other industries.

EnerBurn Proof of Performance Demonstrations

 

An integral part of our sales process is to conduct proof of performance demonstrations for potential customers wherein we accumulate historical fleet data that documents the effects of the use of EnerBurn (i.e. advantages in terms of increased fuel economy, a decrease in engine wear and reductions in toxic emissions) on that customer'scustomer’s specific vehicles or vessels. In connection with these proofs of performance demonstrations, we provide fleet monitoring services and forecasts of fuel consumption for purposes of the prospective customer'scustomer’s own analysis.

 

The results below are indicative of typical customer experiences using EnerBurn. In many instances, customers have directly informed us about their satisfaction with EnerBurn and the fuel savings that its use has provided them. In all cases, our own comparison of the customer provided historical fuel usage data with the EnerBurn usage (which we have monitored) data has proven to us and the customer that the use of EnerBurn has reduced their fuel consumption. In addition to fuel consumption reduction, the decrease in emissions resulting from EnerBurn use is measured with a device called the UEI Intelligent Solutions Meter. Similarly, the percentage reduction in opacity (smoke generated by diesel engines) is measured by the Wager 6500 Meter (manufactured by Robert H. Wager Co., Inc.).

 

 

·

An EnerBurn proof of performance demonstration of a long haullong-haul truck fleet began in August of 1998. The number of trucks treated with EnerBurn exceeded 3,000-Century Class Freightliners, most of that were equipped with Caterpillar or similar type engines. This company'scompany’s measurable fuel savings averaged 10.4% over a 3 plus year period while using EnerBurn, resulting in annual fuel savings in excess of $6.5 million. In addition, the company'scompany’s maintenance department observed significant reductions in metal loss in crankcase wear-parts, although they did not attempt to quantify the value of this phenomenon.

 

·

A fleet of 24 three-year-old 1400 horsepower Morrison Knudson MK1500 locomotives with Caterpillar 3512 diesel engines were used for a 12-month proof of performance demonstration of the effectiveness of EnerBurn. This demonstration started on July 1, 1999 and clearly documented a 10.8% reduction in fuel consumption and a 9.5% reduction in Brake Specific Fuel Consumption ("BSFC"(“BSFC”). The demonstration also reflected a significant reduction in engine wear, confirmed by a 56% reduction in copper content of the lube oil.

 

·

Three maritime vessels were selected from a large fleet, based on size and typical routes for accessibility of regular fueling at this company'scompany’s bulk fueling barge. A proof of performance protocol was developed under the guidance and supervision of this company'scompany’s management. The base line demonstration commenced on July 11, 2001 and the final demonstration was performed on February 28, 2002. One of the three demonstration vessels represented an untreated placebo; two were treated with EnerBurn. The two treated vessels exhibited a measured reduction in fuel consumption of 7% and 9.9%, while the untreated placebo experienced nearly a 10% increase in fuel consumptionconsumption. Additionally, five vessels with different diesel engines were selected for proof of 7% and 9.9%, whileperformance under the untreated placebo experienced nearly asame protocols yielding results in excess of 10% increase in fuel consumption. Additionally five vessels with different diesel engines were selected for proofsavings, significant reductions in opacity, from 33%-86%, reductions of performance under the same protocols yielding results in excessNOx emissions between 11% and 20%.

Our Target Markets

 

Our principal target markets have included the trucking, heavy construction, maritime shipping, railroad and mining industries, as well as federal, state and international government applications. We believe each of these industries shares certain common financial characteristics, i.e. (i) diesel fuel represents a disproportionate share of operating costs; and (ii) relatively small operating margins are prevalent. Considering these factors, management believes that the use of EnerBurn and the corresponding derived savings in diesel fuel costs can positively affect the operating margins of its customers while contributing to a cleaner environment.

 

Sales and Marketing Strategy

 

The fuel additive industry has historically been mired by a myriad of technically dubious products and potential customers are usually wary of promotional claims by product manufacturers or "snake oil"“snake oil” peddlers as they are sometimes labeled.

 

Prospective customers in all targeted market sectors and geographic locations are primarily concerned about the potential business risks associated with the adoption of any new fuel or engine treatment. Thus, the first resistant barrier to adoption of a fleet proof of performance demonstration is dispelling fear about impact on engine warranties and any potential business risk associated with a fleet shutdown caused by our product. The potential EnerBurn fuel and maintenance savings are strong motivators but are secondary to risk avoidance. The SWRI fitness for use testing and customer testimonials are paramount in assisting us in addressing these fears.

 

Potential customers have a strong predisposition to accept only demonstrable proof-of-benefit in their own fleet as justification for any new expenditure. After risk avoidance, the ability to demonstrate and prove results is the primary obstacle for market adoption of the EnerBurn product.

Table of Contents

Our sales process begins with a proof of performance demonstration that is a thorough analysis of the potential customer, including fleet type, size, and opportunity. (See "Business“Business - Product Testing - EnerBurn Proof of Performance Demonstrations"Demonstrations”, above). This is followed with sales presentations at both the executive level and maintenance level. Executive level sales presentations emphasize return on investment ("ROI"(“ROI”), while maintenance level sales presentations emphasize our technology and why it does not impact engine warranties and any potential business risk associated with a fleet shutdown.

 

Convincing a potential customer to undertake a proof of performance demonstration is a difficult task because there is a significant expense to be borne by the potential customer. Specifically, the potential customer must pay for both the EnerBurn that is used during the demonstration as well as purchase the additive injection equipment that is also needed. The cost will vary according to the potential customer and the industry in which it is in. For a proof of performance demonstration on a typical fleet of 100 diesel engine trucks, the cost of the EnerBurn would be approximately $30,000, while the average cost of the equipment used would be approximately $20,000 to $50,000. The personnel costs related to providing fleet monitoring services and forecasts of fuel consumption for the potential customer'scustomer’s analysis are borne either by the Company, its supplier or the sales agent. For a demonstration involving a fleet of 100 hundred trucks, typically 50 to 100 man-hours are involved. The current sales cycle from inception to full customer implementation is typically six to 12-months from initial customer contact. This includes the two to six months it usually takes for the benefits of EnerBurn to begin to take effect in the subject engines during the proof of performance demonstration period.

 

As indicated above, we have created marketing alliances both domestically and internationally with two marketing groups, EnerGreen and G2 Technologies. We have entered into a Distributorship Agreement with EnerGreenincluding Petro-Chem Industries, which has a wide network of industrial sector contacts in Australia, Southern Asia, Europe, Brazil, Peru and Paraguay. G2 Technologies has entered into a Reseller and Market Development Agreement with us. G2 Technologies, which is a large minority-owned U.S. defense contractor,Petro-Chem, intends to sell EnerBurn, injection equipment and emissions control systems to theindustrial, government and related customers, and has qualifiedtested EnerBurn into a government-approved catalog for fuel efficiency and emissions control products.

Our Purchase of the EnerBurn Technology

 

As mentioned above, prior toSince July 2006, we obtained EnerBurn products and services from Ruby Cat and its affiliates pursuant to arrangement made with Ruby Cat. Pursuant to a memorandum of understanding with Ruby Cat which expired on December 31, 2003, the Company was granted the exclusive, global marketing rights from Ruby Cat and an option to purchase the EnerBurn technology and associated assets by December 31, 2003 for $6.6 million which was not exercised. Following expiration of the memorandum of understanding, Ruby Cat and its affiliates continued to supply EnerBurn products to the Company but not pursuant to a formal written contract.

On July 13, 2006, we acquiredhave owned the EnerBurn formulas, technology and associated assets pursuant towhich were acquired under an Asset Purchase Agreement executed as ofpursuant to which we acquired the same date (the "EnerBurn Acquisition Agreement") between the Company and the owner of Ruby Cat (the "Seller"). Pursuant thereto, the Company acquired from the Seller all of its rights with respect to the liquid diesel motor vehicle fuel additives known as EC5805A and EC5931A products (the "Products"“Products”) as well as its rights to certain intellectual property and technology associated with the Products (collectively,Products. In connection with the "Purchased Assets"). The purchase, price forwe granted the Purchased Assets was $3.0 million, payable as follows: (i) $1.0 million paid on July 13, 2006 in cash, and (ii) the remaining $2.0 million evidenced by a promissory note (the "Note") bearing interest each month at a rate of 4.0% per annum, compounded monthly, and which is to be paid in four annual payments of $500,000 plus accumulated interest to that date on each anniversaryseller of the closing until the entire purchase price is paid in full. In order to secure the debt represented by the Note, the Company executed and delivered to the Seller a Security Agreement in which the Company granted the Seller a first priority lien on the Purchased Assets. The first payment of $500,000 was made in advance in May 2007. An additional $500,000 due July 13, 2008 was also made in advance of the due date, on July 3, 2008. Due to litigation commenced between the Company and the Seller, the Company requested the court to grant it leave to pay the remaining installments under the EnerBurn Acquisition Agreement into the registry of the court pending adjudication of such matter. The court granted the request and the Company paid the third annual installment of $500,000 plus accrued interest into the registry on July 13, 2009. On March 31, 2010, the parties to the lawsuit entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the remaining installments due under the EnerBurn Acquisition Agreement were paid by the Company on July 22, 2010, along with an additional sum of $75,000.

The EnerBurn Acquisition Agreement provides that for five years after closing the Seller will not, within the United States or anywhere abroad, be engaged in the business of researching, developing, manufacturing, marketing or selling products intended to improve the fuel efficiency of heavy duty diesel engines.

Contemporaneously with the closing, the Company granted the SellerProducts a non-exclusive, fully paid, perpetual, non-revocable, royalty-free, assignable license, to manufacture, market and sell a certain product known as "Thermoboost II"“Thermoboost II”, which has the same chemical formulation as one of the Products and which is used exclusively in homein-home heating oil.

 

Manufacturing

 

The acquisition of the EnerBurn formulas, technology and associated assets has provided us the ability to transform our business from a sales organization to a fully integrated manufacturer and distributor of EnerBurn. From 2006 to 2009, the manufacturing of our EnerBurn product had been undertaken pursuant to a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement entered into on August 18, 2006 with Independent Contract Packaging, Inc., a Texas corporation located in Cut and Shoot, Texas ("ICP"). Pursuant to the agreement, ICP was appointed as our non-exclusive manufacturer, blender and packager of our EnerBurn product for a term of three years which ended in 2009. We subsequently moved our principal manufacturing operation to Magna Blend of Waxahachie,ChemJet Chemicals in Conroe, Texas, with a second company, J. T. Enterprises of Tyler, Texas as our backup manufacturing facility. We have agreed to supply certain tanks and related equipment and raw materials to be used by J. T. Enterprise to manufacture, blend and package the EnerBurn product, and both Magna BlendChemJet and J. T. Enterprises have agreed to provide their manufacturing, blending and packaging services on a commercially reasonably prompt basis according to the specifications received from and required by us. For such services, we have agreed to pay each its fees pursuant to an agreed upon fee schedule. On October 3, 2011, a fire broke out at the Magna Blend Chemical plant in Waxahachie, Texas. We replaced the required raw material inventories and moved our blending operations from Magna Blend to ChemJet Chemicals, and facility located in Conroe, Texas.

Competition

 

The market for products and services that increase diesel fuel economy, reduce emissions and engine wear is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive and management expects it to increase due to the implementation of stricter environmental standards. Competition can come from other fuel additives, fuel and engine treatment products and from producers of engines that have been modified or adapted to achieve these results. In addition, we believe that new technologies, including additives, will further increase competition.

 

9

Our primary current competitors include Lubrizol Corporation, Chevron Oronite Company (a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation), Octel Corp., Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. and Ethyl Corporation.

Many of our competitors have been in business longer than it has, have significantly greater financial, technical, and other resources, or greater name recognition. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Competition could negatively impact our business. Competitive pressures could cause us to lose market share or to reduce the price of its products, either of which could harm its business, financial condition and operating results.

Government Regulation - Fuel Additive Registration

 

We need to comply with registration requirements for each geographic jurisdiction in which it sells EnerBurn. On January 21, 2001, the US Environmental Protection Agency, pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act (the "Act"“Act”) (40 CFR 79.23) issued permit number EC 5805A in connection with the use of EnerBurn. This registration allows EnerBurn to be used anywhere in the United States for highway use in all over-the-road diesel applications. Additionally, on March 30, 2004, we received a second EPA permit, permit number EC 5931A in connection with the use of EnerBurn. This registration allows EC 5931A to be used anywhere in the United States for use in all diesel applications. Under these registrations, we have pass through rights from the formulator, blender and supplier to sell EnerBurn in on-road applications. However, there are provisions in the Act under which the EPA could require further testing. The EPA has not exercised these provisions yet for any additive. Internationally, we intend to seek registration in other countries as we developsdevelop market opportunities.

 

Our business is impacted by air quality regulations and other regulations governing vehicle emissions as well as emissions from stationary engines. If such regulations were abandoned or determined to be invalid, its prospects may be adversely affected. As an example, if crude oil and resulting diesel prices were to reach or approach historical lows, the emphasis for fuel efficiency would be diminished, potentially impacting sales velocity of the products, consequently adversely affecting our performance. Typically, there are registration and regulation requirements for fuel additives in each country in which they are sold. In the United States, fuel and fuel additives are registered and regulated pursuant to Section 211 of the Clean Air Act. 40 CFR Part 79 and 80 specifically relates to the registration of fuels and fuel additivesadditives.

 

In accordance with the Clean Air Act regulations at 40 CFR 79, manufacturers (including importers) of gasoline, diesel fuel and additives for gasoline or diesel fuel, are required to have their products registered by the EPA prior to their introduction into commerce. Registration involves providing a chemical description of the fuel or additive, and certain technical, marketing, and health-effects information. The health-effects research is divided into three tiers of requirements for specific categories of fuels and additives. Tier 1 requires a health-effects literature search and emissions characterization. Tier 2 requires short-term inhalation exposures of laboratory animals to emissions and screened for adverse health effects, unless comparable data are already available. Alternative Tier 2 testing can be required in lieu of standard Tier 2 if EPA concludes that such testing would be more appropriate. Certain small businesses are exempt from some or all the Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements. Tier 3 provides for follow-up research, if necessary.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

In addition to other information and financial data set forth elsewhere in this report, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company.

 

Business and Financial Risks

 

UNCERTAINTY IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY IN GENERAL MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION THAT WE CURRENTLY CANNOT PREDICT.PREDICT. While we cannot predict global economic conditions, uncertainty about future economic conditions and future decline in consumer and business spending could negatively impact our business. For example, our suppliers and customers might experience deterioration of their businesses, cash flow shortages and difficulty obtaining financing which could result in interruptions or delays in our suppliers'suppliers’ or customers'customers’ performance of any contracts, reductions and delays in customer purchases, delays in or the inability of customers to obtain financing to purchase our products, and bankruptcy of customers.

AN OCCURRENCE OF AN UNCONTROLLABLE EVENT SUCH AS THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR OPERATIONS. The ongoing coronavirus outbreak which began at the beginning of 2020 has impacted various businesses throughout the world, including travel restrictions and the extended shutdown of certain businesses in impacted geographic regions. Efforts to control its spread have significantly curtailed the movement of people, goods, and services worldwide, including in the geographic areas in which we conduct our business operations. It has also caused extreme societal, economic, and financial market volatility, resulting in business shutdowns and potentially leading to a global economic downturn. The magnitude and duration of the resulting decline in business activity cannot currently be estimated with any degree of certainty and has had effects on our business, including, among other things, causing delays in testing and potential purchases of our product and restricting our sales and marketing efforts including limited our travel to potential customers, and reducing the effectiveness of such efforts in some cases.

The COVID-19 pandemic may cause us to continue to experience the foregoing challenges in our business in the future. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations or those of our third-party partners will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the extended duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning coronavirus and future actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Any such disruptions or losses we incur could continue have a material adverse effect on our financial results and our ability to conduct business as expected.

 

OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the years ended December 31, 20152022 and 2014,2021, the Company incurred recurring net losses of $1,255,000$1,202,348 and $1,290,000,$1,203,578, respectively. In addition, at December 31, 2015,2022, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $32,359,000.$41,320,553. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company'sCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company'sCompany’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenues and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. Management concedes that sales revenues for 20152022 and 20142021 and for years prior have been considerably less than earlier anticipated primarily due to circumstances which we are making a continued effort to correct. Tests which were expected to be run and completed during 2013 and 2014 were, for reasons beyond the company's control either delayed, rescheduled or in some cases gave inconclusive results, such as the PEx river test. Management expectedexpects that marine,construction, mining, railroad and trucking sales wouldof our products will show significant increases in 20152023 and thereafter over what has been generated in the past. That has not materialized, as of yet. DelaysSuch increased sales are expected to start to materialize in the completion of long term client demonstrations for several extremely large new clients which were initially intended to be completed during 2014 have caused problems which have been very hard to overcome. The PEx technology testing and analysis, which appeared to be extremely successful, was not completed due to financial reversals on the part of the independent testing company. Conclusive testing of the PEx technology will have to be totally redone to prove the marketability of the product line. On the upside, testing is underway for several large new domestic clients of our principal domestic distributor, which look extremely promising to date. Other tests are however finally close to completion. While it remains to be seen if all will be successful, it is believed that the final results will be in our favor and that the company will show significant improvement over the next two years.2023.

 

The Company has been able to generate working capital in the past through private placements and issuing promissory notes and believes that these avenues will remain available to the Company if additional financing is necessary. No assurance can be made that any of these efforts will be successful.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES WHICH MAY CONTINUE, AND WHICH MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO ACHIEVE OUR BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS. For the years ended December 31, 20152022 and 2014,2021, we generated revenues of $280,000$100,302 and $186,000,$67,068, respectively, and incurred net losses of $1,255,000$1,202,348 and $1,290,000,$1,203,578, respectively. Continued failure to increase our revenues significantly will harm our business. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If our revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, our gross margins fail to maintain its current improvement, or our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our operating results will suffer. If we are unable to sell our products at acceptable prices relative to our costs, or if we fail to develop and introduce on a timely basis, new products from which we can derive additional revenues, our financial results will suffer.

THE ENERBURN TECHNOLOGY HAS NOT GAINED MARKET ACCEPTANCE, NOR DO WE KNOW WHETHER A MARKET WILL DEVELOP FOR IT IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE TO GENERATE ANY MEANINGFUL REVENUES. The EnerBurn technology has received only limited market acceptance. This technology is a relatively new product to the market place and we have not generated any significant sales. Although ever growing concerns and regulation regarding the environment and pollution has increased interest in environmentally friendly products generally, the engine treatment and fuel additive market remains an evolving market. The EnerBurn technology competes with more established companies such as Lubrizol Corporation, Chevron Oronite Company (a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation), Octel Corp., Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. and Ethyl Corporation, as well as other companies whose products or services alter, modify or adapt diesel engines to increase their fuel efficiency and reduce pollutants. Acceptance of EnerBurn as an alternative to such traditional products and/or services depends upon a number of factors including:

 

 

·

favorable pricing visa vievis-a-vis projected savings from increased fuel efficiency

 

·

the ability to establish the reliability of EnerBurn products relative to available fleet data

 

·

public perception of the product

public perception of the product

In addition, investors should note that the studies referenced under Product Testing in Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report were performed a number of years ago. Although the Company believes such studies are still relevant, technological improvements could impact the viability of these studies.

 

For these reasons, we are uncertain whether our technology will gain acceptance in any commercial markets or that demand will be sufficient to create a market large enough to produce any meaningful revenue or earnings. Our future success depends upon customers'customers’ demand for our products in sufficient amounts.

 

OUR TECHNOLOGY MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY FUTURE TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES AND ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. Although diesel engines are now being manufactured that have reduced dangerous emissions, this has not satisfied governmental regulators and legislators. We believe that diesel engines themselves may soon be required to adhere to stringent guidelines that produce nearly zero tailpipe emissions. Research in this area is currently being sponsored by governmental agencies, major engine companies, truck manufacturers, automobile makers, catalyst producers, oil refining companies and their technology suppliers. If such research is successful, it could eventually reduce the need for diesel fuel additives such as EnerBurn as they relate to pollution control.

 

OUR LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF AN INVESTMENT IN US. Our business has historically been entirely dependent upon the acceptance of EnerBurn in the market place. Beginning in 2011, however, we became involved in a joint venture for the testing and manufacture of an innovative new type of environmental equipment for the remediation of diesel engine emissions for diesel engines in the marine industry which we believe will lead to new marketing and revenue opportunities. While we may no longer be entirely dependent upon the acceptance of EnerBurn in the marketplace for our success, our business opportunities are still limited and lack significant diversification.marketplace. As a result, we are impacted more acutely by factors affecting our industry or the regions in which we operate that we would if our business were more diversified, enhancing our risk profile.

 

OUR SALES PROCESS IS COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING WHICH DECREASES OUR ABILITY TO EFFECTIMPACT SALES. In order to affectimpact EnerBurn sales, we must prove to a potential customer that the use of our product is specifically beneficial to and cost effective for that potential customer. We accomplish this by conducting proof of performance demonstrations. Our supplier, our sales agent and/or we bear the cost to provide the personnel to do the monitoring and analyzing of compiled data. However, the potential customer must bear the cost of the EnerBurn and equipment used during the trial period. We cannot assure you that we will be able to convince potential customers to undertake this expense and affect a significant number of sales. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that the results of a specific proof of performance demonstration will prove that the use of EnerBurn will be beneficial to that specific potential customer, or if beneficial, that the potential customer will purchase EnerBurn. If, after conducting the proof of performance demonstration, the potential customer does not purchase our product, we will have wasted the time and the cost of providing personnel to the proof of performance demonstration.

WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION AND MAY NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES NECESSARY TO KEEP UP WITH RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES WHICH MAY RESULT IN OUR TECHNOLOGY BECOMING OBSOLETE. The diesel fuel additive business and related anti-pollutant businesses are subject to rapid technological change, especially due to environmental protection regulations, and subject to intense competition. We compete with both established companies and a significant number of startup enterprises. We face competition from producers and/or distributors of other diesel fuel additives (such as Lubrizol Corporation, Chevron Oronite Company, Octel Corp., Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. and Ethyl Corporation), from producers of alternative mechanical technologies (such as Algae-X International, Dieselcraft,Diesel craft, Emission Controls Corp. and JAMS Turbo, Inc.) and from alternative fuels (such as bio-diesel fuel and liquefied natural gas) all targeting the same markets and claiming increased fuel economy, and/or a decrease in toxic emissions and/or a reduction in engine wear. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial and marketing resources than we do and may independently develop superior technologies which may result in our technology becoming less competitive or obsolete. We may not be able to keep pace with this change. If we cannot keep up with these advances in a timely manner, we will be unable to compete in our chosen markets.

 

THE COMPANY NEEDS TO MAINTAIN ENERBURN'SENERBURN’S EPA REGISTRATIONS. In accordance with the regulations promulgated under the US Clean Air Act, manufacturers (including importers) of gasoline, diesel fuel and additives for gasoline or diesel fuel, are required to have their products registered with the EPA prior to their introduction into the market place.marketplace. Currently, EnerBurn products have two such registrations (EPA # 5805A and 5931A). However, unforeseen future changes to the registration requirements may be made, and these products, or either one of them, may not be able to qualify for registration under such new requirements. The loss of the EPA registrations or restrictions on the current registrations could have an adverse effect on our business and plan of operation.

 

Ruby Cat registered these products with the US Environmental Protection Agency which registrations we acquired in connection with the EnerBurn Acquisition Agreement. EnerBurn is registered in the United States only, and we are considering its registration in other countries. Further testing could be needed in these or other countries. We cannot assure you that EnerBurn will pass any future testing that may be required. The failure of EnerBurn to obtain registration in countries or areas where we would like to market it, could have a materially adverse effect on our business and plan of operation.

 

FAILURE TO PROPERLY MANAGE OUR POTENTIAL GROWTH POTENTIAL WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO HOLDERS OF OUR SECURITIES. Since we have limited operating history, any significant growth will place considerable strain on our financial resources and increase demands on our management and on our operational and administrative systems, controls and other resources. There can be no assurance that our existing personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of this growth, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employees and maintain close coordination among our technical, accounting, finance, marketing, sales and editorial staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or that if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into our existing staff and systems. We may fail to adequately manage our anticipated future growth. We will also need to continue to attract, retain and integrate personnel in all aspects of our operations. Failure to manage our growth effectively could hurt our business.

 

WE ARE RELIANT UPON THIRD-PARTY MANUFACTURERS FOR OUR PRODUCTS; ANY PROBLEMS THEY ENCOUNTER WILL DETRIMENTALLY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS. The manufacturing of our products areis undertaken by third-party manufacturers. There can be no assurance that such manufacturers will be reliable in meeting delivery schedules, or that such manufacturers will not experience their own financial difficulties or encounter other problems which could detrimentally impact our business. Since 2009, our principal manufacturing facility was with Magna Blend of Waxahachie, Texas. As a result of a fire which occurred in October 2011 at Magna Blend's plant, we did lose inventory which lead to certain delays in fulfilling product orders. Subsequent to the fire, we were reimbursed by Magna Blend for the full replacement value of our lost inventory and one of our established customers agreed to supply us with several drums of EnerBurn which were being held in its supply inventory so that we could service our customers. In addition, we have now moved our manufacturing to ChemJet Chemicals located in Conroe, Texas. Although we do not believe this incident had a material adverse affect on our financial condition or operations, there is no guarantee that such will be the case in the event we should encounter a similar or different problem with our manufacturing arrangements in the future. Furthermore, in the event we need to secure other manufacturers, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure such arrangements on terms acceptable to the Company.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL INCLUDING OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. Due to the specialized nature of our business, our success depends in part upon attracting and retaining the services of qualified managerial and technical personnel. The market for such persons remains competitive and the relativerelatively small size of the Company may make it more difficult for us to recruit and retain qualified persons. In addition, and since we are a small company, a loss of one or more of our current officers could severely and negatively impact our operations.

MAINTAINING AND IMPROVING OUR FINANCIAL CONTROLS MAY STRAIN OUR RESOURCES AND DIVERT MANAGEMENT'SMANAGEMENT’S ATTENTION. We are subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The requirements of these rules and regulations have increased, and we expect will continue to increase, our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and may also place undue strain on our personnel, systems and resources. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. This can be difficult to do. As a result of this and similar activities, management'smanagement’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

RELATED PARTY NOTES AND ADVANCES PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT RISK. Due to our lack of meaningful revenues, we have been forced to finance our operations primarily from capital which has been raised from third parties and promissory notes and advances from related parties. As of December 31, 2015,2022, such loans and advances from related parties total $1,730,000. Many of these loans$4,112,500. All the remaining notes and advances are past due and certain others are due on demand.due. Although the Company does not expect any of such lenders to demand payment until the Company has adequate resources to pay back such loans and advances, there can be no assurance that such will be the case. This presents a significant risk to the Company in that in the event any of such lenders demand payment, the Company may not have the necessary cash to meet such payment obligations, or if it does, such payments may draw significantly on the Company'sCompany’s cash position. Any of such events will likely have a materially detrimental effect on the Company.

 

Risks Related To Our Common Stock

 

WE HAVE ISSUED A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF WARRANTS TO PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK WHICH WILL RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO THE OWNERSHIP INTERESTS OF OUR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS. As of December 31, 2015,2022, we had 30,581,86636,380,690 shares of common stock outstanding. Up to an additional 4,403,0014,940,000 shares are issuable upon the exercise of the warrants currently outstanding and up to 823,3691,235,070 shares are issuable upon exercise of options currently outstanding. The exercise of all of these warrants and options willwould substantially dilute the ownership interests of our existing shareholders. Further, the potential conversion of outstanding convertible notes payable would have a significant impact on the total number of shares outstanding if converted.

 

WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. We have never declared or paid a dividend on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY EXPERIENCE VOLATILITY. The market price of the common stock, which currently trades over-the-counter, has, in the past, fluctuated over time and may in the future be volatile. The Company believes that there are a small number of market makers that make a market in the Company's common stock. The actions of any of these market makers could substantially impact the volatility of the Company's common stock.

POTENTIAL FUTURE SALES PURSUANT TO RULE 144. Many of the shares of Common Stock presently held by management and others are "restricted securities"“restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a certain holding period, may, under certain circumstances sell such shares or a portion of such shares. Such holding periods have already been satisfied in many instances. Therefore, actual sales or the prospect of sales of such shares under Rule 144 in the future may depress the prices of the Company'sCompany’s securities.

OUR COMMON STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. Our Common Stock is classified as a penny stock, which trades over-the-counter. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the price of the shares of the Common Stock. In addition, the "penny stock"“penny stock” rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission subject the sale of the shares of the Common Stock to certain regulations which impose sales practice requirements on broker-dealers. For example, broker-dealers selling such securities must, prior to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that discloses the risks of investing in such securities. Furthermore, if the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker-dealer, the broker-dealer must also approve the potential customer'scustomer’s account by obtaining information concerning the customer'scustomer’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker-dealer must also make athe determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. Accordingly, the Commission'sCommission’s rules may result in the limitation of the number of potential purchasers of the shares of the Common Stock. In addition, the additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the Common Stock, which could severely limit the market of the Company'sCompany’s Common Stock.

 

THE OVER-THE-COUNTER MARKET IS VULNERABLE TO MARKET FRAUD. Securities which trade over-the-counter are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation, both because of their generally low prices and because reporting requirements for such securities are less stringent than those of the stock exchanges or NASDAQ.

 

INCREASED DEALER COMPENSATION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT STOCK PRICE. Over-the-counter market dealers'dealers’ spreads (the difference between the bid and ask prices) may be large, causing higher purchase prices and less sale proceeds for investors.

Item 7. Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and is qualified in its entirety by the foregoing.

 

Executive Overview

 

EnerTeck Corporation (the "Company"“Company” or "EnerTeck Parent"“EnerTeck Parent”), formerly named Gold Bond Mining Company and then Gold Bond Resources, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Washington on July 30, 1935. We acquired EnerTeck Chemical Corp. ("(“EnerTeck Sub"Sub”) as a wholly owned subsidiary on January 9, 2003. As a result of this acquisition, we are now acting as a holding company, with EnerTeck Sub as our primary operating business. Subsequent to this transaction, on November 24, 2003 we changed our domicile from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware and changed our name from Gold Bond Resources, Inc. to EnerTeck Corporation. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us"“we,” “us” or "our"“our” refer to EnerTeck Corporation and its consolidated subsidiary.

 

EnerTeck Sub, our wholly owned operating subsidiary, was incorporated in the State of Texas on November 29, 2000. It was formed for the purpose of commercializing a diesel fuel specific combustion catalyst known as EnerBurn (TM), as well as other combustion enhancement and emission reduction technologies. Nalco/Exxon Energy Chemicals, L.P. ("(“Nalco/Exxon L.P."), a joint venture between Nalco Chemical Corporation and Exxon Corporation commercially introduced EnerBurn in 1998. When Nalco/Exxon L.P. went through an ownership change in 2000, our founder, Dwaine Reese, formed EnerTeck Sub. It acquired the EnerBurn trademark and related assets and took over the Nalco/Exxon L.P. relationship with the EnerBurn formulator and blender, and its supplier, Ruby Cat Technology, LLC ("(“Ruby Cat"Cat”).

 

We utilize a sales process that includes detailed proprietary customer fleet monitoring protocols in on-road applications that quantify data and assists in managing certain internal combustion diesel engine operating results while utilizing EnerBurn. Test data prepared by Southwest Research Institute and actual customer usage has indicated that the use of EnerBurn in diesel engines improves fuel economy, lowers smoke, and decreases engine wear and the dangerous emissions of both Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and microscopic airborne solid matter (particulates). Our principal target markets have included the trucking, heavy construction, maritime shipping, railroad and mining industries, as well as federal, state and international government applications. Each of these industries shares certain common financial characteristics, i.e. (i) diesel fuel represents a disproportionate share of operating costs; and (ii) relatively small operating margins are prevalent. Considering these factors, management believes that the use of EnerBurn and the corresponding derived savings in diesel fuel costs can positively affect the operating margins of its customers while contributing to a cleaner environment.

During 2011, we acquired a 40% membership interest in a newly formedan entity called EnerTeck Environmental, LLC, which was formed for the purpose of marketing and selling a diesel fuel emission reduction technology with the creators of such specific technology. Indian Nations Technology, the co-owner of EnerTeck Environmental, LLC is currently working on a testing protocol which could revive this entity.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

We recognized revenues of $280,000$100,302 for the year ended December 31, 2015,2022, compared to revenues of $186,000$67,068 for the year ended December 31, 2014,2021, an increase of $33,234. Several trials and evaluations are currently underway in revenues of $94,000. the U.S. and various other countries and it is expected revenue should show increases in 2023.

The primary source of revenue for the years ended December 31, 20152022 and 20142021 was from the sale of EnerBurn to oilfield service, heavy construction and maritimemining industries. The increase in revenues was primarilySales delays have occurred due to equipment salesdelays in 2015 for which there were none in 2014. The price levels of product sold in 2015 was relatively comparable to pricing in 2014, although equipment sales in 2015 were primarily done at cost. This low level in revenues can be traced primarily to delays inthe completion of important product testing projects, and a related lack of new customers. As testing is either underway or completed with several potential new customers and the COVID-19 shutdown and restrictions. As businesses fully reopen following the COVID-19 shutdown, we expect to see progress in new areas with existing customers, more sales should occur. It is expectedongoing trials and evaluations that sales should show significant increases throughout 2016.are currently underway in the U.S. and various other countries.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit, defined as revenues less cost of goods sold, was $188,000$35,959, or 67.1%35.9% of salesrevenue, for the year ended December 31, 2015,2022, compared to $154,000$57,081, or 82.6%85.1% of salesrevenue, for the year ended December 31, 2014. As our overall volumes increase,2021. Although raw material costs have increased substantially, we feel confident that there will be an improvementincrease in gross profits in 2023, as several trials and evaluations are currently underway in the gross profit percentage as our manufacturing proficiency continues to improve for our core products. As testing has not as yet been validatedU.S. and the Company has yet to begin commercial production of our patent pending PExÒ technology, which will be custom built to meet the needs of each customer application, no prediction can be made with regard to the gross margins for this segment of the business.various other countries.

 

Cost of goods sold was $92,000 for the 2015 calendar year which represented 32.9% of revenues compared to $32,000 for the 2014 calendar year which represented 17.4% of revenues. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues primarily reflects a slight increase in overall product cost from our initiation of manufacturing of our products and the sale of dosing equipment which were primarily done at cost. We have owned the EnerBurn technology and associated assets since its purchase in July 2006. It is somewhat out of line due to an initial incentive arrangement for a new customer related to the cost of their initial injection equipment. Although our actual manufacturing function is performed for us by an unrelated third party under contract to us, we should continue to realize better gross margins through the manufacturing of our product lines, compared to those we achieved in the past when we purchased all of our products from an outside vendor.

Cost and Expenses

Costs and expenses for operations increased to $1,244,000$64,343 for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $1,199,0002022 which represented 64.1% of revenues compared to $9,987 for the year ended December 31, 2014, an2021 which represented 14.9% of revenues. We wrote off slow-moving inventory valued at $37,524 in 2022 which led to the increase of $45,000, primarily due to professional fees.in 2022 versus 2021.

 

Net LossCost and Expenses

 

Total net lossOperating expenses were $950,139 for the year ended December 31, 2015, was $1,255,0002022 as compared to a total net loss of $1,290,000$1,145,942 for the year ended December 31, 2014. This amounts to2021 a decrease of $195,803. Costs and expenses in both periods primarily consisted of payroll, professional fees, rent expense, amortization expense and other general and administrative expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized $202,816 of stock-based compensation for the extension of expiration dates and the issuance of new stock warrants and stock options.

Net Loss

We reported a net loss of $1,202,348 for the year ended December 31, 20152022 compared to a net loss of $35,000 as compared with$1,203,578 for the year ended December 31, 2014. While sales have improved slightly in 2015 compared to the prior year, there was2021 , a decrease of $1,230. The expectation is that sales will increase in non-cash compensation for2023 as several trials and evaluations are currently underway in the issuanceU.S. and various other countries.

Operations Outlook

 

The majority of our marketing effort since 2005 has been directed at targeting and gaining a foothold in one of several major target areas, including the inland marine diesel market, trucking, heavy construction and mining. Management concedes that sales revenues for 2022 and prior years have been considerably less than earlier anticipated. One of the issues we have faced in recent years has focused virtually all resources at pinpointing and convincing certain large potential customers within these markets, with our diesel fuel additive product lines. Whilebeen the very long timeline from initial contact to contract signing subsequent to completion of an evaluation. Although we still believe that this is a valid theory,many times in the results, to date,past, we have been less than we had expected. For example, in 2005, we appointed Custom Fuel Services Inc., a subsidiary of Ingram Barge and which provides dockside and midstream fueling from nine service locations in Louisiana, Kentucky, Illinois, West Virginia, Missouri and Iowa, as our exclusive resellerproven the benefits of EnerBurn, various evaluating companies have opted not to move forward for a variety of reasons which we believe were beyond our control.

Nevertheless, at both the Company and the related technology on the Western Riversdistributor level, we have recently completed or are proceeding with evaluations of the United States, meaning the Mississippi River, its tributaries, South Pass, and Southwest Pass, excluding the Intra Coastal Waterway. Since 2006, sales have been sporadic with Custom andEnerBurn in many field trials. As we cannot guarantee thatcontinue to string together a series of positive evaluations in more industries, we will ever generate meaningful revenuesshould begin to see more business generated from our relationship with Custom.such results. New trials are either in progress or should be commencing shortly.

 

A substantial portion of 2010the last few years was spent redirectingre-directing our marketing emphasis for our primary product, EnerBurn,EnerBurn. Our current sales process now requires a signed commitment letter from the prospective customer for a minimum of a 3-year supply agreement, prior to solidifythe commencement of an evaluation of any of our major customersproducts. Should the evaluation meet or exceed the established benchmarks as outlined in the evaluation protocol document, the supply agreement would become binding. We have adopted this strategy as we had numerous successful evaluations in the past that did not result in the customer moving forward and expanding to newer, more innovative areas. As such,adopting the technology, with most of those evaluations being at the Company’s expense.

Additionally, we have created marketing alliances domesticallycontracted with outside sales representatives, both in the United States and internationallyin other parts of the world to act as distributors of our products. We currently have distribution agreements with two new marketing groups, EnerGreen Technologies PTY, basedDiesel-E Pty Ltd in Australia ("EnerGreen"), and G2 Fuel Technologies, LLC ("G2 Technologies"),with Green Group in South America. Diesel-E Pty Ltd completed its first EnerBurn evaluation with Robson Civil Projects Pty Limited of Australia and is currently working on multiple other opportunities leveraging on that successful trial. Green Group is currently running two evaluations in Peru, one for a minority owned marketing firmmining railroad and another for a large mining conglomerate. We also have a representative working on mining evaluations in bothMexico and expect that once the domestic and foreign markets.

As testing continues with potential new customers andCOVID-19 pandemic subsides, we will commence an evaluation at a large mine in new areas with existing customers, more sales should hopefully occur.Mexico. In addition, due primarily to environmental benefitsthe U.S. we have a representative working on a number of currently ongoing EnerBurn evaluations in the Midwest, two of which have been showncompleted successfully and we have recently started to be derived fromsupply one of them with chemical. Two other evaluations recently started but were terminated due to the usepandemic. We believe such will resume when it is safe to do so.

Since the latter part of 2022, we have been working on a research and development project to automate injection of Enerburn. In the past, we have found that the need to hand treat Enerburn at a customer site has been a hindrance to our ability to sell our products to potential customers. We believe this has prevented our success to spread our technology not only to existing customers to also to potential new customers. In this regard, we recently completed the design and the building of our primary product, EnerBurn, certain marketsfirst drum automatic system for use at one of our existing customer’s sites, which was installed at such customer’s site in underdeveloped countries have shown significant interest in our products whichFlorida at the end of February 2023. If successful, we believe mayare encouraged that this will lead to substantialadditional customers in 2023 and the installation of such additional automatic injection systems.

Management concedesIt should be noted that sales revenues for 2015the ongoing coronavirus outbreak which began at the beginning of 2020 has impacted various businesses throughout the world, including travel restrictions and 2014the extended shutdown of certain businesses in impacted geographic regions. A pandemic typically results in social distancing, travel bans and for years prior have been considerably less than earlier anticipated primarily duequarantine, and the effects of, and response to, circumstancesthe COVID-19 pandemic has so far limited access to our corporate office, personnel and professional advisors, and has also hampered, and may continue to hamper, our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If the coronavirus outbreak situation should worsen, we may experience additional disruptions to our business. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations or those of our third-party partners will depend on future developments, which are making a continued effort to correct. Tests which were expected tohighly uncertain and cannot be run and completed during 2013 and 2014 were, for reasons beyondpredicted, including the Company's control either delayed, rescheduled or in some cases gave inconclusive results, such as the PEx river test. Management expected that marine, railroad and trucking sales would show significant increases in 2015 over what has been generated in the past. That has not materialized, as of yet. Delays in the completion of long term client demonstrations for several extremely large new clients which were initially intended to be completed during 2014 have caused problems which have been very hard to overcome. The PEx technology testing and analysis, which appeared to be extremely successful, was not completed due to financial reversals on the partduration of the independent testing company. Conclusive testingoutbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the PEx technology will havecoronavirus and the actions to be totally redone to provecontain the marketability of the product line. On the upside, testing is underway for several large new domestic clients of our principal domestic distributor, which look extremely promising to date. Other tests are however finally close to completion. While it remains to be seen if all will be successful, it is believed that the final results will be in our favor and that the Company will show significant improvement over the next two years.coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.

Cash provided by financing activities was $563,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the proceeds from the sale of common stock of $353,0002022 and related party note payable and advances of $210,000, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $423,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 from the proceeds from the sale of common stock of $123,000 and related party note payable and advances of $300,000.

On July 13, 2006, we completed the acquisition of the EnerBurn formulas, technology and associated assets pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement executed as of the same date (the "EnerBurn Acquisition Agreement") between the Company and the owner of Ruby Cat (the "Seller"). Pursuant thereto, the Company acquired from the Seller all of its rights with respect to the liquid diesel motor vehicle fuel additives known as EC5805A and EC5931A products (the "Products") as well as its rights to certain intellectual property and technology associated with the Products (collectively, the "Purchased Assets"). The purchase price for the Purchased Assets was $3.0 million, payable as follows: (i) $1.0 million paid on July 13, 2006 in cash, and (ii) the remaining $2.0 million evidenced by a promissory note (the "Note") bearing interest each month at a rate of 4.0% per annum, compounded monthly, and which shall be paid in four annual payments of $500,000 plus accumulated interest to that date on each anniversary of the closing until the entire purchase price is paid in full. All payments have been made and, as of July 2010, we have now completed our monetary obligations under the EnerBurn Acquisition Agreement and the Note. Through 2010 this obligation drew significantly on our cash reserves. Starting in 2011 this is no longer the case.2021, respectively.

 

In the past, we have been able to finance our operations primarily from capital which has been raised. To date, sales have not been adequate to finance our operations without investment capital. During 2015 and 2014,Cash provided by financing activities was $572,013 for the year ended December 31, 2022, a result of funds received from related party notes and advances. This is compared to cash provided $563,000by financing activities of $442,779 for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily resulting from a PPP Small Business loan in the amount of $73,100 and $423,000, respectively, for working capital$435,000 from the proceeds from sales of common stock, loansrelated party notes and other advances.

 

We anticipate, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to our operations, that in addition to our current cash and cash equivalents together with projected cash flows from operations and projected revenues, we will require additional investment to satisfy our contemplated cash requirements for the next 12 months. No assurance can be made that we will be able to obtain such investment on terms acceptable to us or at all. We anticipate that our costs and expenses over the next 12 months will be approximately $3.0$1.0 million. Our continuation as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenues and cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. As mentioned above, management acknowledges that sales revenues have been considerably less than earlier anticipated. This was primarily due to a combination of circumstances which have been corrected or are in the process of being corrected and therefore should not reoccur in the future and the general state of the economy. Management expects that sales should show increases in 2016.2023. No assurances can be made that we will be able to obtain required financialfinancing on terms acceptable to us or at all. Our contemplated cash requirements in 2023 and beyond 2016 will depend primarily upon level of sales of our products, inventory levels, product development, sales and marketing expenditures and capital expenditures.

 

Due to our lack of meaningful revenues, we have been forced to finance our operations primarily from capital which has been raised from third parties and promissory notes and advances from related parties. As of December 31, 2015, suchSuch loans and advances from related parties total $1,730,000 as compared to $2,315,000. for the previous year. The decrease in this number is due to the decision of a related party (who is a principal shareholder$4,112,500 and director of the Company) to convert a sizable amount of this debt to equity in the form of 3,173,811 shares of common stock which was issued during the second quarter$3,492,500 on 2015.December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Many of these remaining loans are past due and certain others are due on demand. The Company does not expect any of such related parties to demand payment until the Company has adequate resources to pay back such loans and advances, there can be no assurance that such will be the case. This debt presents a significant risk to the Company in that in the event any of such related parties demand payment, the Company may not have the necessary cash to meet such payment obligations, or if it does, such payments may draw significantly on the Company'sCompany’s cash position. Any of such events will likely have a materially detrimental effect on the Company. The related party, who is a principal shareholder and director of the Company and has advanced most of the funds to date, has expressed his interest in converting the majority of his remaining loans to common stock at some point in the future, although there can be no assurance that such will be completed on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

Inflation has not significantly impacted the Company'sCompany’s operations.

Business and Basis of Presentation

EnerTeck Corporation, formerly Gold Bond Resources, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on July 30, 1935. On January 9, 2003, the Company acquired EnerTeck Chemical Corp. ("EnerTeck Sub") as its wholly owned operating subsidiary. As a result of the acquisition, the Company is now acting as a holding company, with EnerTeck Sub as its only operating business. Subsequent to this transaction, on November 24, 2003, the Company changed its domicile from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware, changed its name from Gold Bond Resources, Inc. to EnerTeck Corporation.

EnerTeck Sub, the Company's wholly owned operating subsidiary is a Houston-based corporation. It was incorporated in the State of Texas on November 29, 2000 and was formed for the purpose of commercializing a diesel fuel specific combustion catalyst known as EnerBurn (TM), as well as other combustion enhancement and emission reduction technologies for diesel fuel. EnerTeck's primary product is EnerBurn, and is registered for highway use in all USA diesel applications. The products are used primarily in on-road vehicles, locomotives and diesel marine engines throughout the United States and select foreign markets.

During 2012, EnerTeck acquired a 40% membership interest in EnerTeck Environmental, LLC (Environmental). Environmental was formed for the purpose of marketing and selling diesel fuel emission reduction technology with the creators of such specific technology.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EnerTeck Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EnerTeck Chemical Corp. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Inventory

Inventory primarily consists of market ready EnerBurn plus raw materials required to manufacture the products. Inventory has been valued at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method.

Included in inventory at December 31, 2010, were three large Hammonds EnerBurn doser systems amounting to $57,000 which were projected to be transferred to marine customers during 2010, but in 2011 were traded for injection units which are more universally adaptable to other customers. Included in inventory at December 31, 2015 and 2014, are various injector units and R & D Equipment amounting to $38,000 and $42,000, respectively.

Finished product amounted to approximately $47,000 and $9,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively: the remaining inventory comprises raw materials.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent uncollateralized obligations due from customers of the Company and are recorded at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and charged to the provision for doubtful accounts. The Company calculates this allowance based on historical write-offs, level of past due accounts and relationships with and economic status of the customers. Accounts are written off as bad debts when all collection efforts have failed and the account is deemed uncollectible. Management has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts of $32,000 as of both December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line or accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The average lives range from five (5) to ten (10) years. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred. Depreciation expense totaled $5,007 and $14,428 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

23

Intangible Assets

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FASB ASC 350 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Specifically, FASB ASC 350 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition, as well as how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The statement requires the Company to evaluate its intellectual property each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite life. In addition, the Company tests its intellectual property for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The statement requires intangible assets with finite lives to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable and that a loss shall be recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible exceeds its fair value.

Intellectual property and other intangibles are recorded at cost. Prior to 2009, the Company determined that its intellectual property had an indefinite life because it believed there was no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factor to limit its useful life, and therefore would not be amortized. For other intangibles, amortization would be computed on the straight-line method over the identifiable lives of the assets.

Management made the decision during 2009 to change the characterization of its intellectual property to a finite-lived asset and to amortize the remaining balance of its intangible assets to the nominal value of $150,000 by the end of 2012, due to its determination that this now represents the scheduled end of its exclusive registration during that year.

As a result of a review by management of its intangible asset and policies related thereto as of December 31, 2010, it was determined that a further impairment was required to be recorded. This impairment serves to reduce its intellectual property to an amount which management believes represents its fair value. This value would be considered a level 3 measurement under FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, since it is based on significant unobservable inputs. The Company will re-assess the value of this asset in future periods and make adjustments as considered necessary, rather than record additional amortization. No adjustment was required during the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and recognizes revenues when evidence of a completed transaction and customer acceptance exists, and when title passes, if applicable.

Revenues from sales of product and equipmentare recognized at the point when a customer order has been shipped and invoiced.

Income Taxes

The Company will compute income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on evidence from prior years, may not be realized over the next calendar year or for some years thereafter.

The current and deferred tax provisions in the financial statements include consideration of uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Management believes there are no significant uncertain tax positions, so no adjustments have been reported from adoption of FASB ASC 740. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the Internal Revenue Service for years prior to 2012. For state tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2010.

24

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

The basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, EnerTeck entered into stock sales agreements with investors who contributed $123,000 in cash to the Company for 615,000 shares of common stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, EnerTeck entered into stock sales agreements with investors who contributed $352,500 in cash to the Company for 1,700,000 shares of common stock. In addition, $877,000 of debt plus related interest expenses was removed from the books of the company through a Debt to Equity conversion in exchange for 3,173,811 shares of Enerteck Corporation common stock.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For 2015 and 2014, potential dilutive securities had a dilutive effect on the shareholders' equity in the company and were included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

Management Estimates and Assumptions

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments recorded on the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and note payable. The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

Stock Options and Warrants

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company began recording compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation.

Taxes Collected

The Company collects sales taxes assessed by governmental authorities imposed on certain sales to customers. Sales taxes collected are included in revenues; net amounts paid are reported as expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Website Costs

As more fully described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2015, the Company acquired the rights to various domain names relevant to its business. The cost of these domain names was $8,497 and has been capitalized as part of website costs on the balance sheet. Management intends to continually renew these domain names, therefore, they are considered nonamortizable intangible assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The transaction price for each sale is explicitly stated within the contract with a customer. We do not accept returns nor do we provide warranty on our product’s performance, as control of performance is based on the proper utilization by the final user. Normal payment terms for domestic sales to both customers and distributors shipping within the United States are net 30 days. All foreign shipments are cash in advance of shipment from our location. Our sole performance obligation to customers and distributors is the manufacturing and shipment of EnerBurn. Revenues from sales of our product are recognized at the point when a customer or distributor order has been completed and shipped. Sales of all product are f.o.b. shipping point. All sales contracts between the individual distributor and end customer are the responsibility of the individual distributor and the amount of mark up above the distributors’ wholesale price per unit is the purview of the distributor.

As stated above, we do not accept returns nor do we provide warranty on our product’s performance, as control of performance is based on the proper utilization by the final user. We periodically test the product manufactured prior to shipment for its proprietary quality standards and guarantees to the distributors that the product will always maintain the level of strict quality standard that is integral to the performance of its product for the end customer. We will provide a Certificate of Analysis, (“C of A”) on each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment asshipment of our product, if requested by the customer. The C of A provides proof that the product is manufactured to meet chemical specifications that insure performance standards.

Forfeitures of any options are accounted for as they occur.

Fair value measurements

We estimate fair value at a price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the asset or liability. The valuation techniques require inputs that are categorized using a three-level hierarchy, from highest to lowest level of observable inputs, as follows: (1) significant observable inputs, including unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (“Level 1”), (2) significant other observable inputs, including direct or indirect market data for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or identical assets or liabilities in less active markets (“Level 2”) and (3) significant unobservable inputs, including those that require considerable judgment for which there is little or no market data (“Level 3”). When multiple input levels are required for a valuation, we categorize the entire fair value measurement according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement even though other significant inputs that are more readily observable may have also utilized.

Going Concern

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements –accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Going Concern, (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Abilitymanagement evaluates whether relevant conditions and events that, when considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable the Company will be unable to Continuemeet its obligations as a Going Concern" ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 defines management's responsibilitythey become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. When relevant conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, initially indicate that it is probable that the Company will be unable to evaluate whether there ismeet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued (and therefore they raise substantial doubt about an organization'sthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concernconcern), management evaluates whether its plans that are intended to mitigate those conditions and provides related footnote disclosure requirements. Under U.S. GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organizationevents, when implemented, will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. The update provides guidance on when there isalleviate substantial doubt about an organization'sthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are considered only to the extent that 1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented and 2) it is probable that the plans will mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and how the underlying conditions and events should be disclosedsatisfaction of liabilities in the footnotes. Itnormal course of business. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred recurring net losses of $1,202,348 and $1,203,578, respectively. Further, most of the Company’s notes payable are overdue and payment may be demanded at any time. These conditions 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 be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. 

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenues and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. The Company has been able to obtain cash in the past through private placements and issuing promissory notes and believes that these avenues will remain available to the Company. These financings are intended to reduce diversity that existed in footnote disclosures becausemitigate the substantial doubt raised by our historical operating results and satisfying our estimated liquidity needs 12 months from the issuance of the lackconsolidated financial statements. However, there is no certainty that additional financing can be obtained in the future at terms acceptable to the Company.

Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of guidance about when substantial doubt existed.Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. In addition, the ASU requires credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The amendments in this update are effective beginningASU broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. For smaller reporting companies, the first quarter of 2017. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updatednew standard will have on the financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 – "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset, consistent with debt discounts. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. The update is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and required retrospective application. Early adoption permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We do not expect this adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory", which simplifies the measurement of inventories valued under most methods. Under this new guidance, inventories valued under these methods would be valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with net realizable value defined as the estimated selling price less reasonable costs to sell the inventory. The new guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal periods starting after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-11 to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes." The amendments in ASU 2015-17 eliminate the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments may be applied prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented.2022. The Company isdoes not currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires lessees to recognize most lease liabilities on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. The update states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingbelieve the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)." The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by amending certain existing illustrative examples and adding additional illustrative examples to assist in the application of the guidance. The effective date and transition of these amendments is the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)". Public entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption will be permitted in any interim or annual period for which financial statements have not yet been issued or have not been made available for issuance. If early adoption is elected, all amendments in the ASU that apply must be adopted in the same period. In addition, if early adoption is elected in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the standardmaterial on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2015,2022, these disclosure controls and procedures were effectiveineffective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission'sCommission’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There have been no material changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Management'sManagement’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our control environment.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Despite these controls, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies, like us, face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and can find it difficult to employ resources for complicated transactions and effective risk management. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.

Based on our evaluation under the frameworks described above, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2015.2022. The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies: (i) all accounting functions are performed by limited accounting personnel; (ii) lack of formalized controls in the financial close and revenue recognition processes; (iii) review of monthly, quarterly and yearly consolidated financial statements was not performed at a sufficient level of precision and specificity in order to detect material errors in the financial statements; and (iv) lack of formalized agreements maintained between parties during the normal course of business.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company'sCompany’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management'sManagement’s report was not subject to attestation requirements by the company'scompany’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management'smanagement’s report in this annual report.

Table of Contents

Despite the existence of the material weaknesses above, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-K fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in all material respects.

Material Weakness

In connection with our annual audit for the year ended December 31, 2022, management determined that controls as described above constitute material weaknesses in disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting. As a result, it was determined that a control deficiency that constitutes a material weakness in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting was present. Management believes that these material weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of these items results in ineffective internal controls, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods. Due to our size and nature, segregation of duties within our internal control system may not always be possible or economically feasible. Likewise, we may not be able to engage sufficient resources to enable us to have adequate staff and supervision within our accounting function.

Remediation

During 2022, certain actions were taken to address certain aspects of the material weaknesses disclosed above. We intend to continue to actively plan for and implement control procedures to improve our overall control environment including but not limited to documenting necessary internal control policies and developing and delivering appropriate internal control training to our personnel. Due to the nature of the remediation process and the need to allow adequate time after implementation to evaluate and test the effectiveness of the controls, as well as our limited cash resources, no assurance can be given as to the timing of achievement of remediation.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no material changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Intellectual property impairment assessment. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company has recognized an intellectual property asset of $100,000 at December 31, 20152022. The Company performs an impairment assessment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intellectual property may not be recoverable. If a triggering event is identified, the Company compares the carrying amount of the intellectual property to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the intellectual property. If the carrying amount of the intellectual property exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the intellectual property to its estimated fair value.

We identified the evaluation of the Company’s intellectual property for impairment as a critical audit matter. Subjective and 2014, andchallenging auditor judgement was required to evaluate certain assumptions used in determining the recoverability of this asset. Management’s impairment analysis of its intellectual property was significant to our audit because the amounts are material to the consolidated results of their operationsfinancial statements. Auditing management’s assessment is complex and theirinvolves significant judgment as the Company’s ability to generate future cash flows for eachand may be impacted by various economic and industry conditions.

How we addressed the matter in our audit

We obtained an understanding of the yearsdesign and implementation of management’s controls and evaluated the inputs used and significant assumptions underlying the impairment analysis.

Our testing of the Company's impairment analysis included, among other procedures, evaluating the method used to develop the estimate, testing the accuracy and completeness of operating data used in the two-year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally acceptedcalculation, identifying projected revenues and future costs as significant assumptions, assessing the reasonableness of undiscounted future cash flows by comparison to current and historical performance, and performing sensitivity analyses of the significant assumptions to evaluate the potential changes in the United Statesfair value estimate.

ENERTECK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY- ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business and Basis of PresentationOPERATIONS

 

EnerTeck Corporation, formerly Gold Bond Resources, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on July 30, 1935. On January 9, 2003, the Company acquired EnerTeck Chemical Corp. ("(“EnerTeck Sub"Sub”) as its wholly owned operating subsidiary. As a result of the acquisition, the Company is now acting as a holding company, with EnerTeck Sub as its only operating business. Subsequent to this transaction, on November 24, 2003, the Company changed its domicile from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware, changed its name from Gold Bond Resources, Inc. to EnerTeck Corporation.

 

EnerTeck Sub, the Company'sCompany’s wholly owned operating subsidiary, is a Houston-based corporation. It was incorporated in the State of Texas on November 29, 2000 and was formed for the purpose of commercializing a diesel fuel specific combustion catalyst known as EnerBurn (TM), as well as other combustion enhancement and emission reduction technologies for diesel fuel. EnerTeck'sEnerTeck Sub’s primary product is EnerBurn and is registered for highway use in all USA diesel applications. The products are used primarily in on-road vehicles, locomotives and diesel marine engines throughout the United States and select foreign markets.

 

During 2012, EnerTeck acquired a 40% membership interest in EnerTeck Environmental, LLC (Environmental)(“Environmental”). Environmental was formed for the purpose of marketing and selling diesel fuel emission reduction technology with the creators of such specific technology. Such company is presently inactive with no business operations.

 

Principles of ConsolidationNOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Consolidation:The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include the accounts of EnerTeck Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EnerTeck Chemical Corp. All significant inter-company accountstransactions and transactions areaccount balances have been eliminated inupon consolidation.

 

Segment Reporting: The Company has one operating segment based on the guidelines of ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The chief operating decision maker considers the marketing of EnerBurn to be the main factor by which operating segments are determined. All revenues, profit and loss metrics, and assets of the operating segment are consistent with the consolidated financial information presented with the audited consolidated financial statements as well as the notes thereto.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Equivalents:The Company considers all highly liquid investmentsinstruments purchased with an original maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Inventory

Inventory:Inventory primarily consists of market ready EnerBurn plus raw materials required to manufacture the products. Inventory has beenWith the adoption of ASU 2015-11, inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market,net realizable value, using the average cost method.

 

Included in inventoryFinished product costs amounted to approximately $79,000 and $89,000 at December 31, 2010, were three large Hammonds EnerBurn doser systems amounting2022 and 2021, respectively, and include required blending costs to $57,000 which were projectedbring the Company’s products to be transferred to marine customers during 2010, but in 2011 were traded for injection units which are more universally adaptable to other customers. Included in inventory at December 31, 2015 and 2014, are various injector units and R & D Equipment amounting to $38,000 and $42,000, respectively.their finished state.

 

Finished product amounted to approximately $47,000 and $9,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively: the remaining inventory comprises raw materials.

F-6

Accounts Receivable

Receivable:Accounts receivable represent uncollateralized obligations due from customers of the Company and are recorded at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and charged to the provision for doubtful accounts. The Company calculates this allowance based on historical write-offs, level of past due accounts and relationships with and economic status of the customers. Accounts are written off as bad debts when all collection efforts have failed, and the account is deemed uncollectible. Accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021 are $6,950, $0 and $36,606, respectively. Management has provided allowances for doubtful accounts of $32,000$6,722, $6,722 and $32,000$631 as of both December 31, 20152022, December 31, 2021 and 2014.January 1, 2021, respectively.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company maintains its cash in bank deposits with financial institutions. These deposits, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institution and has not experienced any losses on such accounts. The Company is not party to any financial instruments which would have off-balance sheet credit or interest rate risk.

Table of Contents

Property and Equipment

Equipment:Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line or accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The average lives range from five (5) to ten (10)seven (7) years. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred. Depreciation expense totaled $5,007 and $14,428 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Intangible Assets

Assets:The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FASB ASC 350 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Specifically, FASB ASC 350 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired should be accounted for in consolidated financial statements upon their acquisition, as well as how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The statement requires the Company to evaluate its intellectual property each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite life. In addition, the Company tests its intellectual property for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The statement requires intangible assets with finite lives to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable and that a loss shall be recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible exceeds its fair value.

Intellectual property and other intangibles are recorded at cost. Prior to 2009, the Company determined that its intellectual property had an indefinite life because it believed there was no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factor to limit its useful life, and therefore would not be amortized. For other intangibles, amortization would be computed on the straight-line method over the identifiable lives of the assets. Management made the decision during 2009 to change the characterization of its intellectual property to a finite-lived asset and to amortize the remaining balance of its intangible asset to the nominal value of $150,000 by the end of 2012, due to its determination that this now represented the scheduled end of its exclusive registration during that year.

As a result of a review by management of its intangible asset and policies related thereto as of December 31, 2010, it was determined that a further No impairment was required to be recorded. This impairment served to reduce its intellectual property to an amount which management believes represents its fair value. This value would be considered a level 3 measurement under FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, since it is based on significant unobservable inputs. The Company will re-assess the value of this asset in future periods and make adjustments as considered necessary, rather than record additional amortization. No adjustment was considered necessary during the years ended December 31, 20152022 and 2014.

Revenue Recognition2021.

 

The Company followshas determined its intellectual property to have a finite life of 12 years. Amortization expense was $12,500 for the provisions of FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, years ended December 31, 2022 and recognizes revenues when evidence of a completed transaction and customer acceptance exists, and when title passes, if applicable.2021.

 

Revenue Recognition: The Company follows Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively Topic 606) which creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope. The core principle of Topic 606 is that a reporting entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the reporting entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services.

While the Company has had some direct customers over the years, the principal method of selling the Company’s product EnerBurn is through the use of independent distributors, for both domestic and international markets. The transaction price for each sale is explicitly stated within the contract with a customer. The Company does not accept returns nor does it provide warranty on its product’s performance, as control of performance is based on the proper utilization by the final user. Normal payment terms for domestic sales to both customers and distributors shipping within the United States are net 30 days. All foreign shipments are cash in advance of shipment from the Company’s location. The Company’s sole performance obligation to customers and distributors is the manufacturing and shipment of EnerBurn. Revenues from sales of the Company’s product and equipmentareare recognized at the point when a customer or distributor order has been shippedcompleted and invoiced.shipped. Sales of all product are f.o.b. shipping point. All sales contracts between the individual distributor and end customer are the responsibility of the individual distributor and the amount of mark up above the distributors’ wholesale price per unit is the purview of the distributor.

The Company may from time to time enter into contracts to sell exclusive distributorship rights to certain markets for a fee. The contracts typically contain a term of market exclusivity as well as other performance obligations. The Company has determined the performance obligations on these types of contracts are satisfied evenly over the term of the contract and recognizes revenue evenly over the term of the contract. For such contracts that were classified as deferred revenue at the beginning of 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $695 and $8,333 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The remaining performance obligations on these contracts as of December 31, 2022 is $0.

As stated above, the Company does not accept returns nor does it provide warranty on its product’s performance, as control of performance is based on the proper utilization by the final user. The Company periodically tests the product manufactured prior to shipment for its proprietary quality standards and guarantees to the distributors that the product will always maintain the level of strict quality standard that is integral to the performance of its product for the end customer. The Company will provide a Certificate of Analysis, (“C of A”) on each shipment of its product, if requested by the customer. The C of A provides proof that the product is manufactured to meet chemical specifications that insure performance standards.

 

EnerTeck will compute income taxes usingCost of Goods Sold: Cost of goods sold includes costs related to the assetmanufacture of the Company’s product EnerBurn. The primary costs included are raw materials that are mixed to produce the finished product that is then sold to customers and/or distributors. Other costs included are packaging and liability method. Underfreight.

Income Taxes: The Company follows the asset and liability method deferredof accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based onrecognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting and tax basesstatements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided forexpected to apply to taxable income in the amount ofyears in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that based on evidence from prior years, may notincluded the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized over the next calendar year or for some years thereafter.realized.

 

Earnings per Share:The current and deferred tax provisions in the financial statements include consideration of uncertain tax positionsCompany accounts for earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes260 ”Earnings Per Share”. Management believes thereBasic earnings per share amounts are no significant uncertain tax positions, so no adjustments have been reported from adoption of FASB ASC 740. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinationscalculated by dividing net loss by the Internal Revenue Service for years prior to 2012. For state tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2010.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

The basicweighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income (loss)loss per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, EnerTeck entered into stock sales agreements with investors who contributed $123,000 in cash to the Company for 615,000 shares of common stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, EnerTeck entered into stock sales agreements with investors who contributed $352,500 in cash to the Company for 1,700,000 shares of common stock. In addition, $877,000 of debt plus related interest expenses was removed from the books of the company through a Debt to Equity conversion in exchange for 3,173,811 shares of Enerteck Corporation common stock.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss)loss applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as“as if converted"converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For 2015 and 2014, potential dilutive securities had a dilutive effect on the shareholders' equity in the company and were included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

 

Management Estimates and Assumptions

Use of Estimates:The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Financial InstrumentsFair value measurements: The Company estimates fair value at a price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the asset or liability. The valuation techniques require inputs that are categorized using a three-level hierarchy, from highest to lowest level of observable inputs, as follows: (1) significant observable inputs, including unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (“Level 1”), (2) significant other observable inputs, including direct or indirect market data for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or identical assets or liabilities in less active markets (“Level 2”) and (3) significant unobservable inputs, including those that require considerable judgment for which there is little or no market data (“Level 3”). When multiple input levels are required for a valuation, the Company categorizes the entire fair value measurement according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement even though other significant inputs that are more readily observable may have also utilized.

Stock Options and Warrants:Compensation cost for equity awards is based on the fair value of the equity instrument on the date of grant and is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Compensation cost for liability awards is based on the fair value of the vested award at the end of each period.

 

The Company's financial instruments recordedCompany values warrant and option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock options and warrants expire on the balance sheet include cashdates designated in the instrument.

Taxes Collected

Sales Tax:The Company collects sales taxes assessed by governmental authorities imposed on certain sales to customers. Sales taxes collected are included in revenues; net amounts paid are reported as expenses in the consolidated statementstatements of operations.

Website Costs

As more fully described in Note 5, during 2015, the Company acquired the rights to various domain names relevant to its business. The cost of these domain names was $8,497 and has been capitalized as part of website costs on the balance sheet. Management intends to continually renew these domain names, therefore, they are considered nonamortizable intangible assets.

In addition, during 2015, the Company incurred costs to modify and improve the functionality of its website. Such costs amounted to $32,737 and are being amortized over their expected useful life of five years. Amortization for 2015 was $3,930. Future amortization is expected to be as follows: $6,547 for 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, with final amortization of $2,618 in 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)", which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and limited early adoption is permitted. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of two transition methods, either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company has not yet selected a transition method, and is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" ("ASU 2014-15"). Under U.S. GAAP,

In accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Going Concern, management evaluates whether relevant conditions and events that, when considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are prepared underissued. When relevant conditions or events, considered in the presumptionaggregate, initially indicate that it is probable that the reporting organizationCompany will continuebe unable to operatemeet its obligations as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to asthey become due within one year after the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting establishesdate that the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. The update provides guidance on when there isconsolidated financial statements are issued (and therefore they raise substantial doubt about an organization'sthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and how the underlyingconcern), management evaluates whether its plans that are intended to mitigate those conditions and events, should be disclosed in the footnotes. It is intended to reduce diversity that existed in footnote disclosures because of the lack of guidance about when implemented, will alleviate substantial doubt existed. The amendments in this updateabout the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are effective beginning inconsidered only to the first quarter of 2017. Early applicationextent that 1) it is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effectprobable that the updated standardplans will have onbe effectively implemented and 2) it is probable that the financial statements and related disclosures.plans will mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 – "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset, consistent with debt discounts. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and required retrospective application. Early adoption permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We do not expect this adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory", which simplifies the measurement of inventories valued under most methods. Under this new guidance, inventories valued under these methods would be valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with net realizable value defined as the estimated selling price less reasonable costs to sell the inventory. The new guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal periods starting after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-11 to have a significant effect on ouraccompanying consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred recurring net losses of $1,202,348 and $1,203,578, respectively. Further, most of the Company’s notes payable are overdue and payment may be demanded at any time. These conditions 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 be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. 

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes." The amendments in ASU 2015-17 eliminate the current requirement for organizationsCompany’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to present deferred tax liabilitiesobtain additional financing and assets as currentto generate revenues and noncurrent incash flow to meet its obligations on a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments may be applied prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented.timely basis. The Company is currentlyhas been able to obtain cash in the process of evaluatingpast through private placements and issuing promissory notes and believes that these avenues will remain available to the impactCompany. These financings are intended to mitigate the substantial doubt raised by our historical operating results and satisfying our estimated liquidity needs 12 months from the issuance of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements. However, there is no certainty that additional financing can be obtained in the future at terms acceptable to the Company.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires lessees to recognize most lease liabilities on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. The update states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)." The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by amending certain existing illustrative examples and adding additional illustrative examples to assist in the application of the guidance. The effective date and transition of these amendments is the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)". Public entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "CompensationNOTE 3 - Stock Compensation" which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption will be permitted in any interim or annual period for which financial statements have not yet been issued or have not been made available for issuance. If early adoption is elected, all amendments in the ASU that apply must be adopted in the same period. In addition, if early adoption is elected in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

In July 2006, EnerTeck acquired the EnerBurn technology. The purchase price for the EnerBurn technology is as follows: (i) $1.0 million cash paid on July 13, 2006,Depreciation expense totaled $64 and (ii) a promissory note for $2.0 million. In May of 2007, we made the initial payment of $500,000 plus interest against the loan. Prior to 2009 EnerTeck had determined that the life of the intellectual property was indefinite; therefore, the asset was not amortized. The Company tested its intangible assets for impairment as of December 31, 2008. As a result of an independent examination based on sales for the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company determined that an impairment of the asset in the amount of $825,000 was required to be recorded.

F-10

Management made the decision during 2009 to change the characterization of its intellectual property to a finite-lived asset and to amortize the remaining balance of its intangible asset to the nominal value of $150,000 by the end of 2014, due to its determination that this now represents the scheduled end of its exclusive registration during that period. As a result, amortization expense of approximately $579,000 was recorded$208 for the years ended December 31, 20102022 and zero for years after 2010.2021, respectively.

 

Management madeNOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company follows ASC Topic 820-10 as it relates to financial assets and financial liabilities, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the decision effective December 31, 2010price that would be received to recordsell an additional impairment ofasset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the assetmeasurement date. Hierarchical levels, as defined in this guidance and directly related to the amount of $868,000subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities are as a result of the Company's inability to generate sufficient sales to support its previously recorded amount. This impairment adjustment results in a value of $150,000 being placed on the Company's intellectual property, which management believes is adequately supported by existing levels of sales and market data.follows:

The changereported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 or that will be realized in the valuation allowancefuture and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual sale or settlement.

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable, trade payable and related party notes payable. With the exception of the related party notes payable, the carrying value of the financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying value of the related party notes payable may not represent the fair values of these financial instruments.

NOTE 5 - LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The Company follows ASC 260, ”Earnings Per Share” for share-based payments that are considered to be participating securities within the definition provided by the standard. All share-based payment awards that contained non-forfeitable rights to dividends, whether paid or unpaid, were designated as participating securities and included in the computation of earnings per share (“EPS”).

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for stock optionsincome taxes under our planASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

EnerTeck has incurred net losses since the merger with Gold Bond and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative operating loss carry-forward is approximately $26,795,000 at December 31, 2022 and expires beginning in 2023.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company has recorded no unrecognized tax benefits or related penalty and interest. Additionally, the Company does not expect any unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months.

A reconciliation of the expected U.S. income tax expense (benefit) to income taxes is as follows:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts reported for income tax purposes at the enacted tax rates in effect when the differences are anticipated to reverse. A deferred tax asset will be reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on the Company’s estimates, it is more likely than not that a portion of those assets will not be realized in a future period.

The Company's continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenues and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. Management concedes that sales revenues for 2015 and 2014 and for years prior have been considerably less than earlier anticipated primarily due to circumstances which are making a continued effort to correct. Tests which were expected to be run and completed during 2013 and 2014 were, for reasons beyond the company's control either delayed, rescheduled or in some cases gave inconclusive results, such as the PEx river test. Management expected that marine, railroad and trucking sales would show significant increases in 2015 over what has been generated in the past. That has not materialized, as of yet. Delays in the completion of long term client demonstrations for several extremely large new clients which were initially intended to be completed during 2014 have caused problems which have been very hard to overcome. The PEx technology testing and analysis, which appeared to be extremely successful, was not completed due to financial reversals on the part of the independent testing company. Conclusive testing of the PEx technology will have to be totally redone to prove the marketability of the product line. On the upside, testing is underway for several large new domestic clients of our principal domestic distributor, which look extremely promising to date. Other tests are however finally close to completion. While it remains to be seen if all will be successful, it is believed that the final results will be in our favor and that the company will show significant improvement over the next two years.

The Company has been able to generate working capital in the past through private placements and issuing promissory notes and believes that these avenues will remain available to the Company if additional financing is necessary. No assurance can be made that any of these efforts will be successful.

NOTE 12 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

F-17


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. In addition, the ASU requires credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The amendments in this ASU broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. For smaller reporting companies, the new standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company does not currently believe the impact of this guidance will be material on its consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
