PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “risk factors” section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.
About Us
Enerteck Corporation (the “Company” or “EnerTeck Parent”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on July 30, 1935 under the name of Gold Bond Mining Company for the purpose of acquiring, exploring, and developing precious metal mines and, if warranted, the mining of precious metals. We subsequently changed our name to Gold Bond Resources, Inc. in July 2000. On January 9, 2003, we acquired EnerTeck Chemical Corp. (“EnerTeck Sub”) as our wholly owned operating subsidiary. For a number of years prior to our acquisition of EnerTeck Sub, we were an inactive, public “shell” corporation seeking to merge with or acquire an active, private company. As a result of the acquisition, we are now acting as a holding company, with EnerTeck Sub as our only operating business. Subsequent to this transaction, on November 24, 2003, we changed our domicile from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware, changed our name from Gold Bond Resources, Inc. to EnerTeck Corporation and effected a one from 10 reverse common stock split. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us” or “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®, 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”).
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 EnerBurn®. 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 are presently the trucking, heavy construction and maritime shipping industries. We also expect that revenues will be derived in the future from the railroad, mining and offshore drilling industries. 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 effect the operating margins of its customers while contributing to a cleaner environment.
Our corporate address is 10701 Corporate Drive, Suite 150, Stafford, Texas 77477. Our telephone number is (281) 240-1787.

We undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revision of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities is highly speculative and extremely risky. You should carefully consider the following risks, in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, before deciding to buy our securities.
Business and Financial Risks
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, 2006 and 2005, we generated revenues of $641,000 and $48,000, respectively, and incurred net losses of $639,000 and $11,248,000, respectively. Our failure to increase our revenues significantly or improve our gross margins 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 improve, 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.
2
OUR CHANCES FOR SUCCESS ARE REDUCED BECAUSE WE ARE AN EARLY STAGE COMPANY WITH REGARD TO OUR NEW BUSINESS OPERATION. In recent years we were inactive and had not generated revenues until we acquired EnerTeck Sub on January 9, 2003. Furthermore, EnerTeck Sub was only formed in November 2000 and has a limited operating history. Accordingly, we are subject to all the risks and challenges associated with the operation of a new enterprise, including inexperience, lack of a track record, difficulty in entering the targeted market place, competition from more established businesses with greater financial resources and experience, an inability to attract and retain qualified personnel (including, most importantly, sales and marketing personnel) and a need for additional capital to finance our marketing efforts and intended growth. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming these and other risks and challenges that we face as a new business enterprise.
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 depend upon a number of factors including:
· | favorable pricing vis 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 |
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’ 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.
SINCE WE MARKET A RANGE OF PRODUCTS WITHIN ONLY ONE PRODUCT LINE, WE ARE ENTIRELY DEPENDENT UPON THE ACCEPTANCE OF ENERBURN IN THE MARKET PLACE FOR OUR SUCCESS. Our business operations are not diversified. If we do not generate sufficient sales of the EnerBurn product, we will not be successful, and unlikely to be able to continue in business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop other product lines to hedge against our dependency on EnerBurn, or if our EnerBurn sales will be sufficient for us to generate revenue or be profitable.
OUR SALES PROCESS IS COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING WHICH DECREASES OUR ABILITY TO EFFECT SALES. In order to effect 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 effect 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.
3
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, 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’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. 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 affect 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.
LOSS OF OUR LARGEST CUSTOMER COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL DECREASE IN REVENUES. Primarily as a result of our relationship with Custom Fuel Services Inc. (“Custom”), we had product sales in 2006 amounting to $641,000. At present this one customer represents a majority of our sale revenues. With Custom’s assistance, negotiations are currently underway with several over large customers in the same industry to expand this market. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to expand this market. The loss of Custom as a customer would adversely affect our business and we cannot provide any assurances that we could adequately replace the loss of this customer.
4
RELIANCE UPON THIRD-PARTY MANUFACTURER FOR OUR PRODUCTS. The manufacturing of our EnerBurn products are 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 has been appointed as our non-exclusive manufacturer, blender and packager of our EnerBurn product for a term of three years. ICP is presently our sole manufacturer. Although we believe we can secure other manufacturers, we expect that the deterioration or cessation of our relationship with ICP would have a material adverse effect, at least temporarily, until new relationships are satisfactorily in place. In addition, any manufacturers that we rely upon may possibly become unreliable in meeting delivery schedules, experience their own financial difficulties or provide products of inadequate quality. Any problems with our third-party manufacturers can be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business, results of operations and continued growth prospects.
THE PAYMENTS DUE TO THE SELLER OF THE ENERBURN TECHNOLOGY WILL DRAW SIGNIFICANTLY ON FUTURE CASH RESERVES. 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. 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 foregoing payments will draw significantly on future cash reserves. In addition, if we are unable to make such payment obligations, the Seller could foreclose on its lien on the Purchase Assets or take other action, all of which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business.
WE DEPEND ON OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND NEED ADDITIONAL MARKETING AND TECHNICAL PERSONNEL TO SUCCESSFULLY MARKET OUR PRODUCT. WE CAN NOT ASSURE YOU THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO RETAIN OR ATTRACT SUCH PERSONS. Since we are a small company, a loss of one or both of our current officers would severely and negatively impact our operations. To implement our business plan, we will need additional marketing and technical personnel to successfully market our product. The market for such persons remains competitive and our limited financial resources may make it more difficult for us to recruit and retain qualified persons.
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 the date hereof, we have 17,761,359 shares of common stock outstanding. Up to an additional 4,936,650 shares are issuable upon the exercise of the warrants currently outstanding. The exercise of all of these warrants substantially dilute the ownership interests of our existing shareholders.
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.
THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE. The trading price of our shares has, from time to time, fluctuated widely and in the future may be subject to similar fluctuations. The trading price may be affected by a number of factors including the risk factors set forth in this report as well as our operating results, financial condition, announcements of innovations or new products by us or our competitors, general conditions in the market place, and other events or factors. Although we believe that approximately 19 registered broker dealers currently make a market in our common stock, we cannot assure you that any of these firms will continue to serve as market makers or have the financial capability to stabilize or support our common stock. A reduction in the number of market makers or the financial capability of any of these market makers could also result in a decrease in the trading volume of and price of our shares. In recent years, broad stock market indices, in general, and the securities of technology companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations. Such broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the future trading price of our common stock.
5
OUR STOCK PRICE MAY EXPERIENCE VOLATILITY. The market price of the common stock, which currently is listed in the OTC Bulletin Board, 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” 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 one-year holding period, may, under certain circumstances sell within any three-month period a number of shares which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any quantity limitation by a person who is not an affiliate of the Company and who has satisfied a two-year holding period. 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’s securities.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. Our Common Stock is classified as a penny Stock, which is traded on the OTCBB. 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” 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’s account by obtaining information concerning the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker-dealer must also make a 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’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’s Common Stock.
LIMITATIONS OF THE OTCBB CAN HINDER COMPLETION OF TRADES. Trades and quotations on the OTCBB involve a manual process that may delay order processing. Price fluctuations during a delay can result in the failure of a limit order to execute or cause execution of a market order at a price significantly different from the price prevailing when an order was entered. Consequently, one may be unable to trade in the Company’s Common Stock at optimum prices.
THE OTCBB IS VULNERABLE TO MARKET FRAUD. OTCBB securities are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation, both because of their generally low prices and because OTCBB reporting requirements are less stringent than those of the stock exchanges or NASDAQ.
INCREASED DEALER COMPENSATION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT STOCK PRICE. OTCBB dealers’ spreads (the difference between the bid and ask prices) may be large, causing higher purchase prices and less sale proceeds for investors.

BUSINESS
Introduction
Enerteck Corporation (the “Company” or “EnerTeck Parent”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on July 30, 1935 under the name of Gold Bond Mining Company for the purpose of acquiring, exploring, and developing precious metal mines and, if warranted, the mining of precious metals. We subsequently changed our name to Gold Bond Resources, Inc. in July 2000. On January 9, 2003, we acquired EnerTeck Chemical Corp. (“EnerTeck Sub”) as our wholly owned operating subsidiary. For a number of years prior to our acquisition of EnerTeck Sub, we were an inactive, public “shell” corporation seeking to merge with or acquire an active, private company. As a result of the acquisition, we are now acting as a holding company, with EnerTeck Sub as our only operating business. Subsequent to this transaction, on November 24, 2003, we changed our domicile from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware, changed our name from Gold Bond Resources, Inc. to EnerTeck Corporation and effected a one from 10 reverse common stock split. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us” or “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®, 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”). The decision to form EnerTeck Sub and acquire the EnerBurn business was motivated by Mr. Reese’s belief that:
· | EnerBurn was clearly beginning to gain market acceptance; |
· | the gross margins associated with EnerBurn sales would support the business model, since existing customers would likely continue to buy the product due to the significant impact on diesel fuel savings and reduced emissions; |
· | EnerBurn had been professionally tested extensively in field applications as well as in the laboratory, clearly demonstrating its effectiveness in increasing fuel economy and reducing emissions and engine wear; |
· | use of the product in diesel applications has a profound impact on a cleaner environment. |

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 EnerBurn®. 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 are presently the trucking, heavy construction and maritime shipping industries. We also expect that revenues will be derived in the future from the railroad, mining and offshore drilling industries. 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 effect 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 Purchase of the EnerBurn Technology” below). Since we were primarily a sales and marketing organization prior our acquisition of the EnerBurn formulas and technology, we have not spent any funds on research and development activities through 2006. We expect this to change however in the future.
Since inception and through 2005, we engaged in limited marketing of the EnerBurn technology and generated minimal sales, principally to the trucking and maritime industries. Total revenue from sales for 2004 amounted to $179,000 and for 2005 amounted to $48,000, much of which came during the fourth quarter of 2005. Due to a lack of working capital, and a nearly complete turnover in upper management and sales staff dating back into 2004, senior management changed its method of marketing the operation during 2005. The majority of the marketing effort for 2005 was directed at targeting and gaining a foothold in one of our major target areas, the inland marine diesel market. Management focused virtually all of our resources at pinpointing and convincing one major customer within this market, Custom Fuel Services Inc. (“Custom”) to go full fleet with our diesel fuel additive product lines. A substantial portion of 2005 was spent testing our primary product, EnerBurn, on one large inland marine vessel belonging to this major potential customer.
As a result thereof, on July 28, 2005, EnerTeck Sub had entered into an Exclusive Reseller and Market Development Agreement (the “Custom Agreement”) with Custom Fuel Services, Inc. (“Custom”), a subsidiary of Ingram Barge. Under the Custom Agreement, EnerTeck Sub has appointed Custom, which provides dockside and midstream fueling from nine service locations in Louisiana, Kentucky, Illinois, West Virginia, Missouri and Iowa, as its 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. The Agreement has an initial term of three years but can be terminated upon 60 days prior written notice by either party. Custom is not required to purchase a minimum volume of EnerBurn during the term of the Custom Agreement. Subsequent to the signing of the Custom Agreement, Custom obtained the regulatory approvals and installed the blending equipment necessary to facilitate its distribution of EnerBurn. In February 2006, we delivered our first shipment of EnerBurn to Custom by delivering 4,840 gallons. During most of 2006, Custom concentrated on completing the required infrastructural work to allow Custom to begin servicing the Ingram and other fleets. This work was completed late in the second quarter of 2006 and treatment of the Ingram fleet was commenced. Late in the second quarter, Custom placed a second order of 4,840 gallons and began treatment on the Mississippi River. This initial purchase order plus the second order received in the second quarter of 2006, amount in size to more revenue and a higher margin than all the orders combined for 2005, 2004 and 2003. In addition to our efforts in the marine sales, the sales effort resulted in initial sales to customers in the heavy constructions market during the third quarter of 2006. Primarily as a result of our relationship with Custom, we had product sales in 2006 amounting to $641,000. At present this one customer represents a majority of our sale revenues. With Custom’s assistance, however, negotiations are currently underway with several over large customers in the same industry to expand this market. The loss of Custom as a customer would adversely affect our business and we cannot provide any assurances that we could adequately replace the loss of this customer.
9
However, sales revenues to Custom and its clients have been less to date than had originally been projected. This has been due primarily to the much longer than anticipated time required to complete the installation of the infrastructure requirements necessary to allow for the product to be made available to the Custom and other clients on the Mississippi River and its tributaries. It is anticipated that as this infrastructure expansion is completed that sales should increase significantly starting later in 2007 and in 2008. It is also anticipated that other new customers coming on board during 2007 and 2008 will lessen the impact of a loss of Custom, should that happen. In this regard, in June 2007, we entered into an Exclusive Reseller and Market Development Agreement with Tanner Fuel Services, LLC appointing Tanner the exclusive reseller of EnerBurn on the Inter Coastal Waterway from Houma, Louisiana to the Port of Houston, Texas.
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 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 o Difficulty getting it to burn completely o 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 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’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” 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” tailpipe emissions, especially on smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and “toxins”; the organic compounds of diesel exhaust.
10
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.
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’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 | Application | |
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 horespowere and engine wear (See “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”) of San Antonio, Texas has extensively tested the EnerBurn technology. This institute is an 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 more the 2,700 employees who perform contract work for industry and government clients.
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.
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’s specific vehicles or vessels. In connection with these proof of performance demonstrations, we provide fleet monitoring services and forecasts of fuel consumption for purposes of the prospective customer’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 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’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’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”). 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’s bulk fueling barge. A proof of performance protocol was developed under the guidance and supervision of this company’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 consumption. Additionally five vessels with different diesel engines were selected for proof of performance under the same protocols yielding results in excess of 10% in fuel savings, significant reductions in opacity, from 33%-86%, reductions of NOx emissions between 11% and 20%. |
Overview of Worldwide Diesel Fuel Consumption

Our Target Markets
Our primary domestic target markets presently include the trucking, heavy construction and maritime shipping industries. We also expect that revenues will be derived in the future from the railroad, mining and offshore drilling industries. Combined, management believes these industries consume billions of gallons of diesel fuel. Furthermore, each of these industries typically experiences relatively small operating margins. Because of these financial factors, management believes that the ability to reduce fuel consumption, even by a small amount, could have a dramatic effect on its customers’ competitive viability.
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” 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.
13
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 - Product Testing - EnerBurn Proof of Performance 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”), 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’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.
The BATL Agreement and Our Purchase of the EnerBurn Technology
As mentioned above, prior to 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 December 8, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “BATL Agreement”) with BATL Bioenergy LLC (“BATL”), then an unrelated third party, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to BATL, for the aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 (the “BATL Purchase Price”), (i) 2,450,000 shares (the “BATL Shares”) of the common stock of the Company, and (ii) a warrant (the “BATL Warrant”) expiring in five years to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. In accordance with the terms of the BATL Agreement, BATL shall be entitled to nominate one director to the Board of Directors of the Company. On December 9, 2005 (the “BATL Closing Date”), the transactions contemplated by the BATL Agreement were completed with the Purchase Price being paid and the BATL Shares and BATL Warrant being issued. In addition, on the BATL Closing Date, Thomas Donino, President of BATL, was appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company to serve on the Board. The BATL Agreement provides that for so long as BATL shall beneficially own in excess of 10% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company, BATL shall be entitled to nominate one director to the Board of Directors of the Company.
In accordance with the terms on the BATL Agreement, we agreed that the proceeds of the Purchase Price shall be used as follows: (i) $1,000,000 to complete the purchase of Ruby Cat Technology, LLC (the “Ruby Cat Transaction”); (ii) no more than $340,000 to repay certain outstanding debt of the Company and its subsidiary; and (iii) the balance for working capital purposes. We have granted BATL an irrevocable, unconditional right, exercisable on one occasion only for a period of 90 days following the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of any definitive agreement or letter of intent in respect of the Ruby Cat Transaction, and (ii) if the Ruby Cat Transaction shall not yet have been consummated, 90 days following the BATL Closing Date, to sell to the Company up to 816,667 shares of common stock at a per share purchase price of $1.2245 per share.
In connection with the BATL Agreement, the Company and BATL entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 8, 2005 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), whereby we have agreed to prepare and file with the Commission not later than the 60th day (the “Filing Date”) after the BATL Closing Date a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the BATL Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the BATL Warrant. We have agreed to use our best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the 240th day after the Filing Date (such day referred to as the “Effective Date”); provided that, if the Registration Statement is not filed by the Filing Date or declared effective by the Effective Date (each a “Penalty Event”) then we shall issue a five-year warrant (“Penalty Warrant”) to BATL to acquire another 49,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the BATL Warrant, per each 30-day period following the Penalty Event that the Registration Statement has not been filed and/or that the Effective Date has not occurred. In April 2006, we entered into a letter agreement with BATL amending and clarifying certain provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the April 2006 letter agreement, it was agreed (i) that the number of Penalty Warrants issuable for all periods prior to April 30, 2006 in respect of delays in filing the Registration Statement shall be 30,000, and (ii) 28,500 of such warrants shall be issued to Thomas F. Donino and 1,500 of such warrants shall be issued to Jay Goldstein. In October 2007, we entered into another letter agreement with BATL pursuant to which it was agreed that in the event the Effective Date occurs during the period from and including April 30, 2006 through April 30, 2008 (the “Fixed Period”), the number of shares of Common Stock underlying any Penalty Warrant issuable due to the fact that the Registration Statement was not declared effective by the Effective Date shall be 510,000 (the “Fixed Penalty Warrant”), regardless of at which point during the Fixed Period the Effective Date occurs. In October 2007, the Fixed Penalty Warrant was delivered to BATL. The October 2007 letter agreement further provides that if the Effective Date shall have not occurred on or prior to April 30, 2008, then we shall once again be obligated to issue a Penalty Warrant to BATL per 30-day period following the Fixed Period that the Effective Date has not occurred, in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
14
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. 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 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.
In addition, so long as any amounts payable to the Seller under the Note remain unpaid, the Company shall provide observation rights to one representative designated by the Seller to attend meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors. Such observer shall have the right to observe and participate in such meetings but shall not have the right to vote.
Contemporaneously with the closing, the Company granted the Seller a non-exclusive, fully paid, perpetual, non-revocable, royalty-free, assignable license, to manufacture, market and sell a certain product known as “Thermoboost II”, which has the same chemical formulation as one of the Products and which is used exclusively in 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. The manufacturing of our EnerBurn product is now 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 has been appointed as our non-exclusive manufacturer, blender and packager of our EnerBurn product for a term of three years. As provided in the agreement, we have agreed to purchase and supply certain tanks and related equipment and raw materials to be used by ICP to manufacture, blend and package the EnerBurn product, and ICP has agreed to provide its 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 ICP its fees pursuant to an agreed upon fee schedule.
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, the we believe that new technologies, including additives, will further increase competition.
15
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.
Management believes that the principal competitive factors in the Company’s market include the:
· | effectiveness of the product; |
· | cost; |
· | proprietary technology; |
· | ease of use; and |
· | quality of customer service and support. |
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”) (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 develops 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 effected. 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 effecting 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 additives
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.
Employees
We currently employ five individuals on a full-time basis, and we also engage independent sales representatives. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that relations with our employees are good.
16
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any pending material legal proceeding nor are we aware of any proceeding contemplated by any individual, company, entity or governmental authority involving the Company except as follows. A former employee of the Company’s subsidiary, has threatened legal action against EnerTeck Sub for breach of his employment contract. We feel there is no merit to this threatened action, and will defend this position and include counterclaims in the event a suit is initiated.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We do not own any real estate. We lease approximately 2,722 square feet of space for our executive offices at 10701 Corporate Drive, Suite No. 150, Stafford, Texas. Such lease, which commenced on February 1, 2001, had an original term of three years and has been extended to April 30, 2010. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 totaled approximately $43,140 and $52,327, respectively. Management believes that the current facility is adequate for the foreseeable future.
MANAGEMENT’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 herein and is qualified in its entirety by the foregoing.
Executive Overview
EnerTeck Corporation (the “Company” or “EnerTeck Parent”) was incorporated in the State of Washington on July 30, 1935 under the name of Gold Bond Mining Company for the purpose of acquiring, exploring, and developing and, if warranted, the mining of precious metals. We subsequently changed our name to Gold Bond Resources, Inc. in July 2000. We acquired EnerTeck Chemical Corp. (“EnerTeck Sub”) as a wholly owned subsidiary on January 9, 2003. For a number of years prior to our acquisition of EnerTeck Sub, we were an inactive, public “shell” corporation seeking to merge with or acquire an active, private company. As a result of this acquisition, we are now acting as a holding company, with EnerTeck Sub as our only operating business. Subsequent to this transaction, on November 24, 2003 we changed our domicile from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware, changed our name from Gold Bond Resources, Inc. to EnerTeck Corporation and affected a one for 10 reverse common stock split. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us” or “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®, 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”).
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 presently include the trucking, heavy construction and maritime shipping industries. We also expect that revenues will be derived in the future from the railroad, mining and offshore drilling industries. 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.

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
Results of Operations
Revenues
On July 28, 2005, EnerTeck Sub had entered into an Exclusive Reseller and Market Development Agreement (the “Custom Agreement”) with Custom Fuel Services, Inc. (“Custom”), a subsidiary of Ingram Barge. Under the Custom Agreement, EnerTeck Sub has appointed Custom, which provides dockside and midstream fueling from nine service locations in Louisiana, Kentucky, Illinois, West Virginia, Missouri and Iowa, as its 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. The Agreement has an initial term of three years but can be terminated upon 60 days prior written notice by either party. Custom is not required to purchase a minimum volume of EnerBurn during the term of the Custom Agreement. Subsequent to the signing of the Custom Agreement, Custom obtained the regulatory approvals and installed the blending equipment necessary to facilitate its distribution of EnerBurn. In February 2006, we delivered our first shipment of EnerBurn to Custom by delivering 4,840 gallons. During most of 2006, Custom concentrated on completing the required infrastructural work to allow Custom to begin servicing the Ingram and other fleets. This work was completed late in the second quarter of 2006 and treatment of the Ingram fleet was commenced. Late in the second quarter, Custom placed a second order of 4,840 gallons. However, Custom was unable to take delivery until late in the fourth quarter of 2006. Sales to Custom, currently the Company’s largest customer have been slower than initially anticipated principally due to the longer than anticipated time that has been required for the construction and installation of the required infrastructure and equipment required to allow for the servicing of Custom’s EnerBurn market on the Mississippi River. It is anticipated that this will be completed during 2007 and sales in this market will increase significantly during the later parts of 2007.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded sales revenues of $19,000 and $56,000, respectively, versus sales revenues of $287,000 and $561,000 for the same periods of 2006. This decrease in revenues for the three month and six month periods of 2007, as compared to the prior year periods, can be traced directly to the fact that there were no orders for Custom Fuel during the first or second quarters of 2007. There was a large order from Custom which was shipped during the fourth quarter of 2006, just prior to the beginning of the first quarter of 2007. It is expected that the shipments to Custom will pick up significantly during the later portion of 2007 as the infrastructure for EnerBurn fuel dosage is completed. During the first and second quarters of 2007, the bulk of the sales effort has been spent mainly in expanding the marine market to other areas and to expansion into new markets.
Gross Profit
Gross profit, defined as revenues less cost of goods sold, was $12,000 or 63.5% of sales for the three months and $37,500 or 67.0% of sales for six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $230,000 or 80.1% of sales for the three months and $367,000 or 65.4% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006. In terms of absolute dollars, the decrease in Gross Profits during the first and second quarters of 2007 as compared to the prior year periods is a direct reflection of the obvious difference in sales volume for the two periods. In terms of the percentage of sales, the overall percentage increase in Gross Profit as a percentage of sales of 65.4% in 2006 to 67.0% in 2007 is due primarily to the fact that we are now the manufacturer of our core product lines, rather than being simply a purchaser and relabeler. As our overall volume increases we feel confident that this improvement in the Gross Profit ratio should remain or possibly increase, somewhat.
18
Cost of goods sold was $7,000 for the three months and $19,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 respectively. This represented 36.5% and 33.2% of revenues for the three and six month periods, respectively, as compared to $57,000 for the three months and $194,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, which represented 20.0% and 34.6%, respectively, of revenues for that three and six month periods. This overall decrease in costs of goods sold as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the prior year period, while it is still somewhat higher than anticipated primarily due to some introductory offers for certain new customers, does reflect the decrease in overall product cost which commenced with our initiation of the manufacturing of our products, when compared to the costs of purchasing our products from an outside vendor. We have owned the EnerBurn technology and associated assets since its purchase in July 2006. Although our actual manufacturing is performed for us by an unrelated third party under contract to us, we should continue to realize a better gross margin due to our now manufacturing our own product lines, than we have achieved in the past when we were required to purchase all of our products from an outside vendor.
Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses were $226,000 for the three months and $464,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $287,000 for the three months and $625,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $69,000 and $169,000, respectively. The majority of such decrease was due to the issuance of stock for outside consultants and warrant expenses during the first and second quarters of 2006, which resulted in a non-cash charge to earnings. There were no comparable charges in the first or second quarters of 2007. Costs and expenses in all periods primarily consisted of wages, professional fees, rent expense, amortization expense and other selling, general and administrative expenses.
Net Loss
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we reported a net loss of $209,000 and $429,000, respectively, as compared to a net loss of $7,000 and $153,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. This change was primarily due to the decrease in sales for the first and second quarters of 2007 compared to the prior year periods while expenses (other than the non-cash charge described above in 2006) remained relatively constant. Net income in the future will be dependent upon our ability to increase revenues faster than we increase our selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expense and other expenses.
Operations Outlook
Beginning in 2005, management began a period of reassessing the Company’s direction. Due to a lack of working capital, and a nearly complete turnover in upper management and sales staff dating back into 2004, senior management changed its method of marketing the operation during the later parts of 2005 and in 2006. The majority of the marketing effort has for the last year been directed at targeting and gaining a foothold in one or more of our major target areas. The first target market for our company was the inland marine diesel market. For over a year, Management focused virtually all resources at pinpointing and convincing one major customer within this market, Custom, to go full fleet with our diesel fuel additive product lines. A substantial portion of 2005 and 2006 was spent testing our primary product, EnerBurn, on one large inland marine vessel belonging to this major potential customer. This resulted in the signing of the Custom Agreement and delivery of the first shipments of EnerBurn to Custom as discussed above. This initial purchase order plus the second order delivered late in 2006, amount in size to more revenue and a higher margin than all the orders combined for 2005, 2004 and 2003.
At present, one customer (Custom) represents a majority of our sale revenues. The loss of Custom as a customer would adversely affect our business and we cannot provide any assurances that we could adequately replace the loss of this customer. Sales revenues to Custom and its clients have been less to date than had originally been projected. This has been due primarily to the much longer than anticipated time required to complete the installation of the infrastructure requirements necessary to allow for the product to be made available to the Custom and other clients on the Mississippi River and its tributaries. It is anticipated that as this infrastructure expansion is completed that sales should increase significantly starting later in 2007 and in 2008. It is also anticipated that other new customers coming on board during 2007 and 2008 will lessen the impact of a loss of Custom, should that happen. In this regard, in June 2007, we entered into an Exclusive Reseller and Market Development Agreement with Tanner Fuel Services, LLC appointing Tanner the exclusive reseller of EnerBurn on the Inter Coastal Waterway from Houma, Louisiana to the Port of Houston, Texas.
19
A major change in the way EnerTeck does business commenced early in the third quarter of 2006, with the completion of the purchase of the EnerBurn technology and the commencement of in house manufacturing operations. This gives us permanent, exclusive rights to the EnerBurn formulas and protocols and allows for a much better gross margin than in the past. The purchase of the EnerBurn technology and associated assets was completed on July 13, 2006 and both the formulation equipment and raw materials are presently in place to manufacture for both on and off road product lines. The opening of the on road market to our products offers great potential to the Company in coming years.
In addition to our efforts in the marine sales, other additional markets have been researched and targeted. A second product market, the heavy construction industry, was targeted starting late in the third quarter of 2006. This sales effort resulted in initial sales to four new customers in this market. Initial product results for these customers have been very encouraging and it is felt that this should become a very good second EnerBurn market. Another potentially large market for EnerBurn is the on road trucking industry. The purchase of the rights to the EnerBurn technology and the subsequent issuance to Enerteck of its manufacturing permit for “On Road” versions of EnerBurn, allows us to now pursue this market and it is our intention to do that during 2007 and 2008. We have been working closely for over two years with two competing engineering firms on the development of a reliable and economically priced truck mounted dosing unit which will better allow for the efficient utilization of EnerBurn for the trucking markets. One of these firms has reported to us the successful completion of its testing of its computer controlled truck mounted unit and that it will be available to the market with a short lead time. With this development stage now complete, we now anticipate that this market should begin opening up for the marketing of EnerBurn much more heavily during the latter part of 2007 and during 2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On June 30, 2007, we had working capital of $147,000, a debt to equity ratio of 0.66 to 1, and stockholders equity of $2,289,000 compared to working capital of $301,000, a debt to equity ratio of 1.07 to 1, and stockholders equity of $1,968,000 on December 31, 2006. On June 30, 2007, we had $453,000 in cash, total assets of $3,806,000 and total liabilities of $1,517,000, compared to $429,000 in cash, total assets of $4,073,000 and total liabilities of $2,104,510 on December 31, 2006.
The decrease in total liabilities on June 30, 2007 as compared to that at December 31, 2006 was primarily due to the payment made in the second quarter of 2007 on the note payable in connection with purchase of the EnerBurn technology. One half of the $3,000,000 purchase price for the technology has been paid, with the next payment due during the third quarter of 2008.
Cash used in operating activities was $244,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, which was primarily the result of the $429,000 year to date loss in operations, offset by the $252,000 decrease in accounts receivable, decrease in prepaid expenses of $18,000 and non-cash charges for depreciation of $24,000.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, we had financing activities from the sale of a private placement of common stock in the amount of $750,000 used primarily to fund the scheduled 2007 payment due on the purchase of the intellectual property. This is compared to $12,000 obtained from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 from the exercise of warrants.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, cash provided by investing activities was $18,000 due to employee repayment of advances of $16,000 and proceeds from a sale of equipment of $5,000, compared to no investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
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. 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 foregoing payments will draw significantly on future cash reserves. This acquisition, however, allows us to manufacture our own on and off road versions of the EnerBurn product line and will allow for significant savings in the cost requirements of product sales from manufacturing.
20
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. Our contemplated cash requirements for 2008 and beyond will depend primarily upon level of sales of our products, inventory levels, product development, sales and marketing expenditures and capital expenditures.
Other than the Note payable for the purchase of the intellectual property, we currently have no material commitments for capital requirements.
Inflation has not significantly impacted our operations.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005
Restatement of Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 31, 2005
In December 2005, the Company sold 2,450,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 warrants to BATL Bioenergy LLC for $3,000,000 in cash. An expense for $2,299,420 was recognized in error as compensation cost associated with the issuance of the warrants. As a result, the Company has restated its 2005 financial statements in order to properly reflect the value assigned to the warrants as a pro-rata share of the equity financing, rather than an expense of the Company. In addition, in connection with the reissuance of shares of common stock to the four founding shareholders of the Company as described in Note 5 to the financial statements included with this prospectus, the Board of Directors recognized in the fourth quarter of 2006 that the Company had not reissued the full amount of shares it was obligated to under the terms of those agreements. The balance of 250,000 shares were reissued to such founding shareholders in December 2006. As a result, the Company failed to record compensation expense associated with those unissued shares during 2005. The Company has further restated its 2005 financial statements to reflect an accrual as of December 31, 2005, for $587,500, the value assigned to the subsequently reissued shares. A summary of the effects of these restatements are shown in Note 11 to the financial statements included with this prospectus. The financial information reflected in the discussion below relating to 2005 takes into account the restatement of the 2005 financial statements.
Results of Operations
Revenues
We recognized revenues of $641,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to revenues of $48,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $593,000 or 1235.4%. The primary source of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 is from the sale of EnerBurn to the trucking, heavy construction and maritime industries. Such increase in revenues can primarily be traced to a concerted marketing effort extended well back into 2005, which targeted our marine diesel market and culminated in an initial order from Custom Fuel Services Inc. (“Custom”), a subsidiary of Ingram Barge, during the first quarter of 2006.
On July 28, 2005, EnerTeck Sub entered into an Exclusive Reseller and Market Development Agreement (the “Custom Agreement”) with Custom. Under the Custom Agreement, EnerTeck Sub has appointed Custom, which provides dockside and midstream fueling from nine service locations in Louisiana, Kentucky, Illinois, West Virginia, Missouri and Iowa, as its 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. The Agreement has an initial term of three years but can be terminated upon 60 days prior written notice by either party. Custom is not required to purchase a minimum volume of EnerBurn during the term of the Custom Agreement. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that any meaningful revenues will be derived from the Custom Agreement. Subsequent to the signing of the Custom Agreement, Custom obtained the regulatory approvals and installed the blending equipment necessary to facilitate its distribution of EnerBurn. In February 2006, we delivered our first shipment of EnerBurn to Custom by delivering 4,840 gallons. This was followed in late 2006 with a second order of the same size.
21
We expect future revenue trends to initially come from the trucking, heavy construction and maritime industries, and subsequently expect revenues to also be derived from the railroad, mining and offshore drilling industries. We expect this to occur as sales increase and the sales and marketing strategies are implemented into the targeted markets and we create an understanding and awareness of our technology through proof of performance demonstrations with potential customers.
Our future growth is significantly dependent upon our ability to generate sales from heavy construction companies such as those currently coming on line, trucking companies with fleets of 500 trucks or more, and barge and tugboat companies with large maritime fleets, and railroad, mining and offshore drilling and genset applications. Our main priorities relating to revenue are: (1) increase market awareness of EnerBurn product through its strategic marketing plan, (2) growth in the number of customers and vehicles or vessels per customer, (3) accelerating the current sales cycle, and (4) providing extensive customer service and support.
In early September, 2006, we made our initial sale to a member of the heavy construction industry working in the South Central Texas area. After successful testing this initial customer has led to introductions and initial testing with a large concrete company in West Texas, one of the largest highway contracts in the state of Texas and most recently one to largest highway and heavy construction contractor in the United States. We feel as this market matures it can become a major source of business for the Company.
Gross Profit
Gross profit, defined as revenues less cost of goods sold, was $401,000 or 62.6% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $19,000 or 39.6% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2005. In terms of absolute dollars, gross profit increased $382,000 and the gross profit percentage increased 23.0% for the 2006 calendar year compared to the 2005 calendar year due primarily to the fact that we are now a manufacturer of our core products, instead of a purchaser and relabeler.
Cost of good sold was $241,000 for the 2006 calendar year which represented 37.6% of revenues compared to $29,000 for the 2005 calendar year which represented 60.4% of revenues. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues primarily reflects the decrease in overall product cost from our initiation of manufacturing of our products in house as compared to purchasing it from outside vendors.
Cost and Expenses
Costs and expenses decreased to $1,132,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 10,532,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $9,400,000. Such decrease was primarily due to a significant decrease in the amounts recognized for non-cash charges due to the issuance of warrants during 2005, the re-issuance of shares to certain founding shareholders and an increase in staff during 2005. Costs and expenses in all periods primarily consisted of professional fees, rent expense, amortization expense and general and administrative expenses.
Net Loss
During the year ended December 31, 2006, we reported a net loss of $639,000 as compared to a net loss of $11,248,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. This change was primarily due to the decreases in costs and expenses primarily to the decrease in amounts recognized for non-cash charges due to the issuance of shares and warrants.
Net income in the future will be dependent upon our ability to increase revenues faster than we increase our selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expense and other expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 31, 2006, we had working capital of $301,000 and stockholders’ equity of $1,968,000 compared to a restated working capital of $1,745,000 and stockholders’ equity of $1,851,000 on December 31, 2005. On December 31, 2006, the Company had $429,000 in cash, total assets of $4,072,000 and total liabilities of $2,105,000 compared to $2,522,000 in cash, total assets of $2,690,000 and restated total liabilities of $839,000 on December 31, 2005.

The decrease in cash for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the prior year was primarily due to an increase in the cash required to purchase the manufacturing rights to our product lines and the fixed assets required to manufacture them. The decrease in working capital for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the prior year was primarily due to such decrease in cash together with an increase in current liabilities at December 31, 2006 compared to the prior year primarily due to the inclusion in 2006 of the current portion of the promissory note issued in 2006 to acquire the manufacturing rights to our product lines.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we issued 250,000 shares of its common stock to certain accredited investors for aggregate proceeds of $250,000. In addition, in December 2005, we sold to BATL Bioenergy LLC 2,450,000 shares of the common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share for the aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000. Also, in 2005, we received loans for working capital of an aggregate of $115,000 from various parties. All loans were repaid in December 2005. During 2006 an additional 50,000 shares were issued for prior services rendered, 250,000 additional shares were returned to founders, 10,000 shares were redeemed from warrants and an additional 30,000 warrants at $2.00 per share were issued on behalf of BATL Bioenergy LLC.
Cash used in operating activities was $985,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, which was primarily the result of a loss of $639,000 partially offset by non-cash charges for depreciation of $48,000 and common stock and warrants issued for services of $157,000. Cash used in operating activities was $648,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 which was primarily the result of a loss of $11,248,000 partially offset by non-cash charges for depreciation of $41,000 and common stock and warrants issued for services of $9,938,000.
Cash used by investing activities was $1,119,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 which was primarily the result of the acquisition of the intellectual property. The $3,000,000 purchase of the Intellectual Property related to the manufacture of EnerBurn was paid for by an initial down payment of $1,000,000 and the issuance of a note payable for $2,000,000, $500,000 of which will come payable during 2007. Cash used by investing activities was $20,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 which was the result of certain capital expenditures.
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. 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 foregoing payments will draw significantly on future cash reserves. This acquisition, however, allows us to manufacture our own on and off road versions of the EnerBurn product line and will allow for significant savings in the cost requirements of product sales from manufacturing.
Cash provided by financing activities was $12,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 which was the result of the exercise of warrants. Cash provided by financing activities was $3,190,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 primarily from the sale of equity securities to certain investors. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we issued 250,000 shares of its common stock to certain accredited investors for aggregate proceeds of $250,000. In addition, in December 2005, we sold to BATL Bioenergy LLC 2,450,000 shares of the common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share for the aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000. Also, in 2005, we received loans for working capital of an aggregate of $115,000 from various parties. All loans were repaid in December 2005.
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. Our contemplated cash requirements for 2008 and beyond will depend primarily upon level of sales of our products, inventory levels, product development, sales and marketing expenditures and capital expenditures.
23
Other than the Note Payable for the purchase of the intellectual property, we currently have no material commitments for capital requirements.
Inflation has not significantly impacted the Company’s operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Significant Accounting Policies
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.
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 consists of market ready EnerBurn plus raw materials required to manufacture the products. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. Also included in inventory are four large Hammonds EnerBurn doser systems amounting to $76,000 which will be transferred to marine customers during 2007. Substantially all the Company's remaining inventory was comprised of raw materials at December 31, 2006.
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. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no uncollectible accounts and no allowance has been provided.
24
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.
Intangible Assets
Intellectual property and other intangibles are recorded at cost. The Company has determined that its intellectual property has an indefinite life because there is no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factor to limits its useful life, and therefore will not be amortized. For other intangibles, amortization would be computed on the straight-line method over the identifiable lives of the assets. The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for periods beginning January 1, 2002, and thereafter. SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. Specifically, the statement 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 will test 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. The Company tested its intangible assets for impairment as of December 31, 2006. It was determined at that time that no impairment existed based primarily on projected sales and the resulting discounted projected cash flow analyses.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" which was issued in December 2003, and recognizes revenues when evidence of a completed transaction and customer acceptance exists, and when title passes, if applicable. SAB No. 104 codified, revised and rescinded certain sections of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", in order to make this interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting guidance and SEC rules and regulations.
Revenues from sales are 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.
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.
Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income 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 2006 and 2005, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
25
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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Prior to January 1, 2006, EnerTeck had accounted for stock options according to the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and therefore no related compensation expense was recorded for awards granted with no intrinsic value. The Company adopted the modified prospective transition method provided for under SFAS No. 123R, and, consequently, has not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. Under this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock options recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes the quarterly amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of all stock option awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. There was no unvested portion of stock options or warrants as of January 1, 2006.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 established standards for how a company classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The statement requires that a company classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) if certain criteria are met. Freestanding financial instruments that obligate the issuer to redeem the holder’s shares, or are indexed to such an obligation, and are settled in cash or settled with shares meeting certain conditions would be treated as liabilities. Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity.
In June 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 150-5, Issuers Accounting under FASB Statement No. 150 for Freestanding Warrants and Other Similar Instruments on Shares that are Redeemable (“FAS 150-5”). FAS 150-5 clarifies that freestanding warrants and similar instruments on shares that are redeemable should be accounted for as liabilities under FAS 150 regardless of the timing of the redemption feature or price, even though the underlying shares may be classified as equity. FAS 150-5 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after June 30, 2005. Although the Company had outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2006, the shares issued upon exercise of the warrants are not redeemable; consequently, management does not expect the adoption of FAS 150-5 to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued FAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—A replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (“FAS 154”). FAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes (“APB 20”), and FAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements (“FAS 3”) and changes the requirements for the accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principles. FAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. Under previous guidance, changes in accounting principle were recognized as a cumulative effect in the net income of the period of the change. FAS 154 requires retrospective application of changes in accounting principle, limited to the direct effects of the change, to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle. Additionally, FAS 154 requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle and that correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The provisions in FAS 154 are effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
26
In March 2006, the EITF reached a tentative consensus on Issue No. 06-03, How Sales Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation) (“EITF 06-03”). EITF 06-03 addresses income statement classification and disclosure requirements of externally-imposed taxes on revenue-producing transactions. EITF 06-03 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the effect implementation of EITF 06-03 will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN No. 48 provides a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement and disclosure in the financial statements of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. We will adopt FIN No. 48 in the quarter ending March 31, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this interpretation may have on its future financial position, results of operations, earnings per share and cash flows.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108 was issued to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. Current practice allows for the evaluation of materiality on the basis of either (1) the error quantified as the amount by which the current year income statement was misstated (“rollover method”) or (2) the cumulative error quantified as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet was misstated (“iron curtain method”). The guidance provided in SAB No. 108 requires both methods to be used in evaluating materiality (“dual approach”). SAB No. 108 permits companies to initially apply its provisions either by (1) restating prior financial statements as if the dual approach had always been used or (2) recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the “dual approach” as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements in financial statements, but standardizes its definition and guidance in GAAP. Thus, for some entities, the application of this statement may change current practice. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement may have on its financial position, results of operations, earnings per share, and cash flows.
During June 2006, The FASB has issued FIN 48 which prescribes rules for the financial statements accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. FIN 48 requires all material tax positions to undergo a new two-step recognition and measurement process. All material tax positions in all jurisdictions in all tax years in which the statute of limitations remains open upon the initial date of adoption are required to be assessed. The criteria for asset recognition is that it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based solely on its technical merits. If the recognition standard is not satisfied, then no tax benefit otherwise arising from the tax position can be recorded for financial statement purposes. If the recognition standard is satisfied, the amount of tax benefit recorded for financial statement purposes is the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. FIN 48 is effective for the Company's fiscal 2007 year. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of the operations, or cash flows.
The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on The Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

2003 Stock Option Plan
In September 2003, our shareholders approved an employee stock option plan authorizing the issuance of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. This plan is intended to give us greater ability to attract, retain, and motivate officers, key employees, directors and consultants; and is intended to provide us with the ability to provide incentives more directly linked to the success of our business and increases in shareholder value. To date no options have been issued under the plan.
2005 Stock Compensation Plan
In June 2005, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Stock Compensation Plan (the “2005 Stock Plan”) authorizing the issuance of up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the 2005 Stock Plan, employees, directors, officers or individuals who are consultants or advisors of the Company or any subsidiary may be awarded shares under the 2005 Stock Plan. The 2005 Stock Plan is intended to offer those employees, directors, officers, or consultants or advisors of the Company or any subsidiary who assist in the development and success of the business of the Company or any subsidiary, the opportunity to participate in a compensation plan designed to reward them for their services and to encourage them to continue to provide services to the Company or any subsidiary. To date, 2,050,000 shares have been awarded under the 2005 Stock Plan, of which 1,000,000 were granted to Parrish B. Ketchmark. At the time of the grant, Mr. Ketchmark was an officer and director of the Company but has since resigned. In December 2005, Mr. Ketchmark agreed to return 500,000 shares granted to him under the 2005 Stock Plan. No other officers or directors of the Company have been granted shares under the 2005 Stock Plan.
Other Options, Warrants or Rights
We have no outstanding options or rights to purchase any of its securities. However, as of the date of this Prospectus, we do have outstanding warrants to purchase up to 4,936,650 shares of its common stock.
Employment Agreements - Executive Officers and Certain Significant Employees
None of our officers and key employees are presently bound by employment agreements. However, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into with BATL in December 2005 and as a further inducement to BATL for making an investment in the Company, Dwaine Reese has agreed not to unilaterally resign as our Chief Executive Officer for a period of two years from December 7, 2005.
We do not have any termination or change in control arrangements with any of our named executive officers.
Compensation of Directors
At the present time, directors receive no cash compensation for serving on the Board of Directors, other than reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings. In June 2005, we issued 200,000 shares of common stock to each of Gary B. Aman and Jack D. Cowles, each a director of the Company, for their services as Board members.
Indebtedness of Management
No member of management was indebted to the Company during its last fiscal year.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, of which 17,761,359 are outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
Holders of our common stock have equal rights to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. Holders of our common stock have one vote for each share held of record and do not have cumulative voting rights.
Holders of our common stock are entitled, upon liquidation of the Company, to share ratably in the net assets available for distribution, subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any preferred stock then outstanding. Shares of common stock are not redeemable and have no preemptive or similar rights. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share, none of which are issued and outstanding. The preferred stock will be entitled to preference over the common stock with respect to the distribution of assets of the Company in the event of its liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of the corporation among its stockholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs. The authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may be divided into and issued in designated series from time to time by one or more resolutions adopted by our Board of Directors. The Board in its sole discretion shall have the power to determine the relative powers, preferences, and rights of each series of preferred stock. The issuance of preferred shares with such voting or conversion rights may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company.
There are no other provisions in our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws that may result in the delaying, deferring or preventing of a change in control of our Company.
Dividend Policy
We have paid cash dividends on our common stock. Our Board of Directors does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future as we intends to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the growth of the business. The payment of future dividends will depend on such factors as earnings levels, anticipated capital requirements, the operating and financial condition of the Company and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.
The transfer agent for our common stock is Jersey Transfer & Trust Company, 201 Bloomfield Avenue, Verona, New Jersey 07044. Its telephone number is 973-239-2712.

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for the elimination of the personal liability of our officers, directors, corporate employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Delaware General Corporation Law. Under such provisions, the director, officer, corporate employee or agent who in his capacity as such is made or threatened to be made, party to any suit or proceeding, shall be indemnified if it is determined that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our company.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the selling stockholders. Sales of shares may be made by the selling stockholders, including their respective donees, transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest directly to purchasers or to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or through agents. Sales may be made from time to time on the over-the-counter market, or on any other exchange upon which our shares may trade in the future, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, or at negotiated or fixed prices. The shares may be sold by one or more of, or a combination of, the following:
· | a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction (including crosses in which the same broker acts as agent for both sides of the transaction); |
· | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer, including resales for its account, pursuant to this prospectus; |
· | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases; |
· | through options, swaps or derivatives; |
· | in privately negotiated transactions; |
· | in making short sales or in transactions to cover short sales; and |
· | put or call option transactions relating to the shares. |
If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling their shares of common stock to or through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of common stock for whom they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). Any brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the sale of common stock by them and any discounts, concessions or commissions received by any such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with those transactions, the broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short positions or other derivative transactions relating to the shares of our common stock or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for the shares of our common stock in the course of hedging positions they assume with the selling stockholders and may deliver such securities to close out their short positions or otherwise settle short sales or other transactions. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares to broker-dealers or other third parties. In connection with those transactions, the broker-dealers or other third parties may sell such loaned or pledged shares. The selling stockholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery of shares offered by this prospectus to those broker-dealers or other financial institutions. The broker-dealer or other financial institution may then resell the shares pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if required by applicable law, to reflect those transactions).
33
Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. The selling stockholders are advised to ensure that any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents effecting transactions on behalf of the selling stockholders are registered to sell securities in all fifty states. In addition, in certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Penny stocks are stock: (i) with a price of less than $5.00 per share; (ii) that are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) whose prices are not quoted on the Nasdaq automated quotation system (Nasdaq listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or (iv) in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years.
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.
The selling stockholders should be aware that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Registration M, the selling stockholders or their agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, our shares of common stock while such selling stockholder is distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Accordingly, except as noted below, the selling stockholders are not permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place. The selling stockholders are advised that if a particular offer of common stock is to be made on terms constituting a material change from the information set forth above with respect to the Plan of Distribution, then, to the extent required, a post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be filed with the SEC.
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of their shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of Rule 144.
We will pay all the expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the shares of common stock to the public hereunder other than commissions, fees and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders.

See “Business - The BATL Agreement and Our Purchase of the EnerBurn Technology”.
The following table sets forth, to our best knowledge and belief, with respect to the selling stockholders:
· | The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned as of the date hereof, |
· | The number of shares of common stock eligible for resale and to be offered by each selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus, |
· | The number of shares owned by each selling stockholder after the offering contemplated hereby, assuming all the shares eligible for resale pursuant to this prospectus actually are sold, |
· | The percentage of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder after the offering contemplated hereby, and |
· | In the notes to the table, additional information concerning the selling stockholders including the material terms of the warrants described in the notes. Except as indicated in the notes to the table, no selling stockholder which is not a natural person, is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer. In addition, except as indicated in the notes to the table, no selling stockholder has had a material relationship during the past three years with the Company or any of its predecessors or affiliates. |
We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. We will receive proceeds from the warrants, if exercised.
The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under the rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling stockholder has or within 60 days has the right to acquire sole or shared voting power or investment power, and each selling stockholder’s percentage ownership is computed without regard to the amounts of shares that other selling stockholders have the right to acquire.

EnerTeck Corporation
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of EnerTeck Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of EnerTeck Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited the adjustments described in Note 11 that were applied to restate the 2005 financial statements to correct errors. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2005 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2005 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of EnerTeck Corporation as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of EnerTeck's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EnerTeck Corporation as of December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As described in Note 11, the accompanying statements as of December 31, 2005 and for the year then ended have been restated to properly record warrants issued in connection with an equity financing.

ENERTECK CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ENERTECK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
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 consists of market ready EnerBurn plus raw materials required to manufacture the products. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. Also included in inventory are four large Hammonds EnerBurn doser systems amounting to $76,000 which will be transferred to marine customers during 2007. Substantially all the Company's remaining inventory was comprised of raw materials at December 31, 2006.
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. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no uncollectible accounts and no allowance has been provided.
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.
F-6
Intangible Assets
Intellectual property and other intangibles are recorded at cost. The Company has determined that its intellectual property has an indefinite life because there is no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factor to limit its useful life, and therefore will not be amortized. For other intangibles, amortization would be computed on the straight-line method over the identifiable lives of the assets. The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for periods beginning January 1, 2002, and thereafter. SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. Specifically, the statement 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 will test 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. The Company tested its intangible assets for impairment as of December 31, 2006. It was determined at that time that no impairment existed based primarily on projected sales and the resulting discounted projected cash flow analyses.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" which was issued in December 2003, and recognizes revenues when evidence of a completed transaction and customer acceptance exists, and when title passes, if applicable. SAB No. 104 codified, revised and rescinded certain sections of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", in order to make this interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting guidance and SEC rules and regulations.
Revenues from sales are recognized at the point when a customer order has been shipped and invoiced.
Income Taxes
EnerTeck 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.
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.
F-7
Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income 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 2006 and 2005, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not 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, EnerTeck began recording compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Prior to January 1, 2006, EnerTeck had accounted for stock options according to the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and therefore no related compensation expense was recorded for awards granted with no intrinsic value. EnerTeck adopted the modified prospective transition method provided for under SFAS No. 123R, and, consequently, has not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. Under this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock options recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes the quarterly amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of all stock option awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. There was no unvested portion of stock options or warrants as of January 1, 2006.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if EnerTeck had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based compensation in years prior to 2006.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 established standards for how a company classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The statement requires that a company classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) if certain criteria are met. Freestanding financial instruments that obligate the issuer to redeem the holder’s shares, or are indexed to such an obligation, and are settled in cash or settled with shares meeting certain conditions would be treated as liabilities. Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity.
In June 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 150-5, Issuers Accounting under FASB Statement No. 150 for Freestanding Warrants and Other Similar Instruments on Shares that are Redeemable (“FAS 150-5”). FAS 150-5 clarifies that freestanding warrants and similar instruments on shares that are redeemable should be accounted for as liabilities under FAS 150 regardless of the timing of the redemption feature or price, even though the underlying shares may be classified as equity. FAS 150-5 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after June 30, 2005. Although the Company had outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2006, the shares issued upon exercise of the warrants are not redeemable; consequently, management does not expect the adoption of FAS 150-5 to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued FAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—A replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (“FAS 154”). FAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes (“APB 20”), and FAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements (“FAS 3”) and changes the requirements for the accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principles. FAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. Under previous guidance, changes in accounting principle were recognized as a cumulative effect in the net income of the period of the change. FAS 154 requires retrospective application of changes in accounting principle, limited to the direct effects of the change, to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle. Additionally, FAS 154 requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle and that correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The provisions in FAS 154 are effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
In March 2006, the EITF reached a tentative consensus on Issue No. 06-03, How Sales Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation) (“EITF 06-03”). EITF 06-03 addresses income statement classification and disclosure requirements of externally-imposed taxes on revenue-producing transactions. EITF 06-03 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the effect implementation of EITF 06-03 will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
F-9
During June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48") which prescribes rules for the financial statements accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. FIN 48 requires all material tax positions to undergo a new two-step recognition and measurement process. All material tax positions in all jurisdictions in all tax years in which the statute of limitations remains open upon the initial date of adoption are required to be assessed. The criteria for asset recognition is that it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based solely on its technical merits. If the recognition standard is not satisfied, then no tax benefit otherwise arising from the tax position can be recorded for financial statement purposes. If the recognition standard is satisfied, the amount of tax benefit recorded for financial statement purposes is the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. FIN 48 is effective for the Company's fiscal 2007 year. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of the operations, or cash flows.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108 was issued to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. Current practice allows for the evaluation of materiality on the basis of either (1) the error quantified as the amount by which the current year income statement was misstated (“rollover method”) or (2) the cumulative error quantified as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet was misstated (“iron curtain method”). The guidance provided in SAB No. 108 requires both methods to be used in evaluating materiality (“dual approach”). SAB No. 108 permits companies to initially apply its provisions either by (1) restating prior financial statements as if the dual approach had always been used or (2) recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the “dual approach” as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements in financial statements, but standardizes its definition and guidance in GAAP. Thus, for some entities, the application of this statement may change current practice. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement may have on its financial position, results of operations, earnings per share, and cash flows.
EnerTeck does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on EnerTeck's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

$ | 166,832 | $ | 105,231 |
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, and (ii) a promissory note for $2.0 million. EnerTeck has determined that the life of the intellectual property is indefinite, therefore, the asset is not amortized. The Company has tested the asset for impairment and has determined that no impairment exists at December 31, 2006.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
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 $8,150,000 at December 31, 2006, and will expire beginning in 2024.
Deferred income taxes consist of the following at December 31, 2006 and 2005:
2006 | 2005 | ||||||
Deferred tax assets | $ | 2,850,000 | $ | 2,665,000 | |||
Valuation allowance | (2,850,000 | ) | (2,665,000 | ) | |||
$ | — | — |
The change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, was $185,000 and $965,000, respectively
NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On March 20, 2004 four of the founders of EnerTeck's wholly owned operating subsidiary, EnerTeck Chemical Corp., returned for cancellation 3,000,000 of the 5,000,000 shares of their common stock that they were issued in connection with the acquisition of EnerTeck Chemical Corp.
Also during 2004, two consultants were issued a total of 400,000 shares of common stock for services to be rendered to EnerTeck Corporation.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, EnerTeck received $224,800 from the exercise of 220,000 warrants at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and 4000 warrants at an exercise price of $1.20 per share, resulting in the issuance of 224,000 common shares. Additionally, 135,484 common shares were issued to our investment banker, Maxim Partners, LLC. under a cashless exercise provision to a warrant agreement. We received no proceeds from this exercise.

The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company authorized an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the par value of the Company's common stock from $.001 to $.0001 to enable it to affect a four to one forward stock split. An Information Statement was circulated to all shareholders of the Company in October 2004. However, the Board of Directors, as was its right, chose to indefinitely postpone these actions because of market conditions and the public trading price of the Company's common stock.
During August of 2004, EnerTeck authorized ten million shares of Preferred Stock with $0.001 par value. None of the Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding for the period ended December 31, 2004.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, EnerTeck issued 250,000 shares of its common stock to certain accredited investors for aggregate proceeds of $250,000. All of such securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506, hereunder.
During 2005, EnerTeck issued a total of 1,560,000 shares of common stock to various individuals for services valued at $706,400.
In April 2005, EnerTeck cancelled 260,150 shares of common stock.
In July 2005, EnerTeck issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to its President and acting Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Parrish B. Ketchmark, as compensation for his continued services to the company. These shares were recorded at their fair value of $985,000.
On September 6, 2005, Mr. Ketchmark submitted his resignation as both an officer and director of EnerTeck to pursue other outside interests. On December, 2005, he agreed to allow the company to redeem 500,000 shares of this previous issued common stock, along with 500,000 warrants held by him.
During 2005, EnerTeck issued 650,000 shares of common stock to settle debt of $155,687. The shares had a value of $874,000 on the settlement date. EnerTeck recorded a loss of $718,313 on the settlement of the debt.
In December 2005, EnerTeck reissued 2,750,000 shares of the 3,000,000 shares of common stock cancelled in 2004 (see above) to four of its founding shareholders. The 250,000 remaining shares were not reissued until December 2006. The 3,000,000 shares were valued at $7,050,000, which was recorded as compensation expense for 2005. $587,500 of the compensation expense, represented by the shares not yet reissued as of December 31, 2005, has been reported as a current accrued liability at that date.
On December 9, 2005, EnerTeck sold 2,450,000 shares of common stock to BATL Bioenergy LLC for $3,000,000. BATL Bioenergy LLC was granted 1,000,000 warrants for future common stock purchases at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.
NOTE 6 - STOCK WARRANTS
During 2005 and 2006, EnerTeck issued warrants to consultants and employees as follows:
During 2005, EnerTeck's board of directors approved the issuance of warrants to acquire 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share to BATL Bioenergy LLC as part of BATL’s equity investment transaction.
In December 2005, warrants to acquire 100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share were issued to an employee as an incentive to join the company. These warrants were valued using Black-Scholes with the resulting fair value of $24,000 charged to compensation expense.
F-12
Also, in December 2005, Atheneum Capital LLC was issued warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share for past consulting services. These warrants were valued using Black-Scholes with the resulting fair value of $1,172,380 charged to compensation expense.
Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the value of the warrants issued during 2005 include (1) risk-free interest rate of 5.0%, (2) expected life is the actual remaining life of the warrants, (3) expected volatility is 198.48%, and (4) zero expected dividends.
In April, 2006, an additional 30,000 warrants were granted to Mr. Thomas Donino of BATL Bioenergy LLC and his designee pursuant to the terms of an agreement made as part of the BATL stock purchase in December, 2005.

F-13
NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
RubyCat Technology Agreement-
Effective September 7, 2001, EnerTeck entered into an Exclusive Market Segment Development Agreement with RubyCat Technology, Inc. (“RubyCat”). The agreement provided EnerTeck exclusive rights to market RubyCat products, which includes EnerBurn, to on-highway diesel large fleet truck market, small engine marine (<7,000 horsepower) market, railroad diesel and the international diesel fuel market. In addition, EnerTeck was able to obtain approval from the Environmental Protection Agency to sell the product through its agreement with RubyCat.
In October 2005, we entered into a letter of intent to acquire Ruby Cat, the formulator of our products (the “Ruby Cat LOI”). Despite the Ruby Cat LOI to acquire Ruby Cat, we subsequently changed negotiations to simply acquire the EnerBurn technology and associated assets. These negotiations were successfully completed during the third quarter of 2006, with the completion of the acquisition of the EnerBurn technology and associated assets on July 13, 2006 for a total purchase price of $3,000,000. As a result of the acquisition, we were required to make an immediate payment of $1,000,000 at closing and we will make additional annual payments of $500,000 per year, plus interest at a rate of 4% for four years, all of which will draw significantly on future cash reserves. This acquisition allows us to manufacture our own on and off road versions of the EnerBurn product line and will allow for significant savings in the cost requirements of product sales from manufacturing.
Office Lease -
EnerTeck leases office space under a non-cancelable operating lease. Future minimum rentals due under non-cancelable operating leases with an original maturity of at least one-year are approximately as follow:
December 31, | Amount | |||
2007 | $ | 47,616 | ||
2008 | 47,616 | |||
2009 | 47,616 |
Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 totaled approximately $43,140 and $52,327, respectively. The current lease expires March 31, 2007. A three year lease is currently being negotiated and will be signed at terms similar to those of past years.
NOTE 9 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
For the year ended December 31, 2005 EnerTeck purchased 100% of its products from RubyCat. In July, 2006 EnerTeck completed the purchase of the RubyCat technology rights.
Financial instruments that potentially subject EnerTeck to concentration of credit risk are accounts receivable. Currently all Accounts Receivable are considered collectible. EnerTeck performs ongoing credit evaluations as to the financial condition of its customers. Generally, no collateral is required.
EnerTeck at times has cash in bank in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. At December 31, 2006, EnerTeck had $429,483 in cash which is in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
F-14
NOTE 10 - REVENUE FROM MAJOR CUSTOMERS
During 2006, one customer represented a majority of the company’s sale revenues and receivables.
Note 11 - RESTATEMENT OF 2005 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In December 2005, EnerTeck sold 2,450,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 warrants for $3,000,000 cash as described in Note 5. An expense for $2,299,420 was recognized in error as compensation cost associated with the issuance of the warrants. As a result, the Company has restated its 2005 financial statements in order to properly reflect the value assigned to the warrants as a pro-rata share of the equity financing, rather than an expense of the Company.
In addition, in connection with the reissuance of the founders' shares described in Note 5, the Company discovered it had not reissued the full amount of shares it was obligated to under the terms of those agreements. As a result, it failed to record compensation expense associated with those unissued shares during 2005. The Company has further restated its 2005 financial statements to reflect an accrual as of December 31, 2005, for $587,500, the value assigned to the unissued shares.
A summary of the effects of these restatements are shown in the following table:
As previously reported | As restated | ||||||

ENERTECK CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARY,
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of EnerTeck Corporation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in EnerTeck’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2006 as reported in the Form 10-KSB have been omitted.
NOTE 2 - 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.
Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income 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 2007 and 2006, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
NOTE 3 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
In July 2006, EnerTeck acquired the EnerBurn technology. The purchase price for the EnerBurn technology is to be paid as follows: (i) $1.0 million cash paid on July 13, 2006, and (ii) promissory note for $2.0 million 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. EnerTeck has determined that the life of the intellectual property is indefinite. Therefore, the asset is not amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually.
Effective January 1, 2006, EnerTeck began recording compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Prior to January 1, 2006, EnerTeck had accounted for stock options according to the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and therefore no related compensation expense was recorded for awards granted with no intrinsic value. EnerTeck adopted the modified prospective transition method provided for under SFAS No. 123R, and, consequently, have not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. Under this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock options recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes the quarterly amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of all stock option awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123.
EnerTeck did not grant any stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2007 or 2006.
In April 2006, EnerTeck granted a total of 30,000 warrants to two individuals pursuant to the terms of an agreement made as part of the BATL Bioenergy LLC stock purchase in December 2005. These warrants have an exercise price of $2.00 per share and expire in 5 years from date of grant. These warrants were valued using Black-Scholes Model and the fair value of $64,500 was charged to operating expense in April 2006.

PROSPECTUS
_________________, 2007
PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
The Delaware General Corporation Law and the Registrant’s Bylaws provide for indemnification of the Registrant’s officers and directors for liabilities and expenses that they may incur in such capacities. In general, the Registrant’s directors and officers are indemnified with respect to actions taken in good faith and in a manner such person believed to be in the Registrant’s best interests, and with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, actions that such person has no reasonable cause to believe were unlawful. Furthermore, the personal liability of the Registrant’s directors is limited as provided in the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION
Expenses of the Registrant in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered, other than the underwriting discount, are estimated as follows:
SEC Registration Fee | $ | 1,500 | ||
Printing and Engraving Expenses | $ | 10,000 | ||
Legal Fees and Expenses | $ | 30,000 | ||
Accountants’ Fees and Expenses | $ | 10,000 | ||
Miscellaneous Costs | $ | 3,500 | ||
Total | $ | 55,000 |
All of these expenses, except for the SEC registration and filing fees, represent estimates only. The Registrant will pay all of the expenses of this offering.
ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On January 9, 2003, the Registrant, then an inactive public corporation, issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding common stock of EnerTeck Chemical Corp., whereby it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant.
On January 9, 2003, the Registrant issued 500,000 shares of its common stock to Parrish Brian & Co., Inc. for business, financial and marketing consulting services previously rendered to the Registrant's subsidiary before its acquisition.
On April 30, 2003 and May 28, 2003, the Registrant sold a total of 3,150,000 shares of its common stock at $.50 per share (1,000,000 shares to 22 investors and 2,150,000 shares to eight investors, respectively) for total gross proceeds of $1,575,000 in two separate private placement offerings to accredited investors only. These securities were sold both directly by the Registrant with regard to some sales and through a NASD registered broker-dealer (“Selling Agent”) with regard to others. The offerings were conducted without engaging in any advertising or general solicitation of any kind and without payment of underwriting discounts or commissions to any person except commissions to the Selling Agent on sales effected by it.
In addition, in 2003, the Registrant granted warrants to purchase up to 4,025,650 shares of common stock at varying exercise prices ranging from $.01 to $1.20 per share. During 2003, the Registrant issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants granted in 2003 at an aggregate exercise price of $10,000.
In 2004, the Registrant granted warrants to purchase up to 705,000 shares of common stock at varying exercise prices ranging from $.01 to $1.20 per share. During 2004, the Registrant issued 224,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants at an aggregate exercise price of $224,800. Also, during 2004, the Registrant issued an additional 135,484 shares of common stock to Maxim Partners, LLC which exercised its rights under a cashless exercise provision to the warrant agreement whereby it exercised 200,000 warrants and received 135,484 common shares by forfeiting 64,516 warrants. The Registrant received no cash proceeds from this exercise.
In 2005, the Registrant received loans for working capital of an aggregate of $40,000 from three individuals. As an added inducement to the lenders and as additional consideration for making the loans, the Registrant issued an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock to such individuals.

In December 2005, the Board of Directors of the Registrant authorized the return and immediate reissuance of an aggregate of 2,750,000 shares of common stock to the four founding shareholders.

In addition to the warrants granted to BATL, the Registrant also granted warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 600,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $2.00 per share.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to:
File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
1. Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
2. Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement, and
3. Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form SB-2 and authorizes this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in Stafford, Texas, on this 10th day of October, 2007.
