Notes to Financial Statements | |
Note 2 - Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in one account with one financial institution, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Companys customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on managements assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the allowance for doubtful accounts was zero. Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value). Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For consolidated financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 2 to 5 years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. Management reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment for impairment on an annual basis. Recoverability of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets The Company has adopted ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of the long-lived and or intangible assets would be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows. The Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of the Companys equipment. No impairment charges were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, CompensationStock Compensation Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value, which are as follows: · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances where the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Companys assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. Cash and cash equivalents were the only asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the Company at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and is considered to be Level 1. Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, customer credits and short-term debt. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated fair value at December 31, 2017 and 2016 due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of the convertible promissory notes payable at December 31, 2017 and 2016 approximated the carrying amount as the notes were issued during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 at interest rates prevailing in the market and interest rates have not significantly changed as of December 31, 2017. The fair value of the convertible promissory notes payable was determined on a Level 2 measurement. Foreign Currency Transactions The Companys functional currency is the United States Dollar (the U.S. Dollar). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar are re-measured to the U.S. Dollar at the period-end exchange rates. Any associated transactional currency re-measurement gains and losses are recognized in current operations. Revenue Recognition The Company records revenue from sales in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition 1. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 2. Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; 3. The sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and 4. Collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) will be based on managements judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company recorded customer acquisition costs totaling $1,287,500 during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company entered into agreements with three new customers during this period. The capitalized balance of customer acquisition costs was $172,333 and $642,203 on December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $469,870 and $443,450, respectively. The Company generated revenues of $27,499,080 and $32,345,540 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company generated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 by (i) delivering product to its commercial customers, (ii) completing and commissioning equipment projects at commercial customer sites and (iii) performing demonstrations of its technology at customers with the intent of entering into long term supply agreements based on the performance of the Companys products during the demonstrations. In accordance with the terms of an agreement with one customer, the Company has agreed to credit $517,060 of payments received in 2017 towards future deliveries. This amount is included as deferred revenue at December 31, 2017 and is expected to be recognized as revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 when product is delivered to the customer . Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprises consolidated financial statements are based on a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2017 or 2016. When necessary, the Company would accrue penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and three state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years prior to 2014 or state tax examinations for years prior to 2013. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. There were no dilutive potential common shares as of December 31, 2017 or 2016, because the Company incurred net losses and basic and diluted losses per common share are the same. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and equivalents on deposit with financial institutions and accounts receivable. The Companys cash as of December 31, 2017 is on deposit in a non-interest-bearing transaction account that is subject to FDIC deposit insurance limits. For each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 100% of the Companys revenue related to eight customers, respectively. At both December 31, 2017 and 2016, 100% of the Companys accounts receivable related to six and five customers, respectively. Contingencies Certain conditions may exist which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Companys management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Companys legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Companys consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they arise from guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In April, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 is intended to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. Deferred tax liabilities and assets will be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position, and the current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount remains the same. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. During 2016, we have implemented this new standard. In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. ASU 2017-11 allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entitys own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance is to be applied using a full or modified retrospective approach. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-11 and changed its method of accounting for certain warrants that were initially recorded as liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2014 on a full retrospective basis. Since the warrants were issued in conjunction with the issuance of certain convertible notes payable. The following table provide a reconciliation of warrant liability, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016: Consolidated Balance Sheet Warrant Liability Additional paid in capital Accumulated deficit Balance, December 31, 2016 (Prior to adoption of ASU 2017-11) $ 1,313,000 $ 49,838,468 $ (54,883,223 ) Reverese beginning balance as of Janaury 1, 2016 (9,854,000 ) - 9,854,000 Issuance of warrants (1,096,000 ) - 1,096,000 Change in fair value of warrant liability (14,021,626 ) (659,685 ) 14,681,311 Stock issued upon cashless warrant exercise 9,147,159 (9,147,159 ) - Loss on debt restructuting 14,511,467 - (14,511,467 ) Balance, December 31, 2016 (After adoption of ASU 2017-11) - $ 40,031,625 $ (43,763,379 ) The following table provide a reconciliation of interest expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, gain (loss) on debt restructuring and net loss on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016: Consolidated Statement Of Operations Interest Expense Change in value of warrant liability Gain on debt restructuring Net loss Balance, December 31, 2016 (Prior to adoption of ASU 2017-11) $ (4,912,855 ) $ (14,681,311 ) $ 406,791 $ (16,883,015 ) Issuance of warrants 1,096,000 - - 1,096,000 Change in fair value of warrant liability - 14,681,311 - 14,681,311 Loss on debt restructuting - - (14,511,867 ) (14,511,867 ) $ (3,816,855 ) - $ (14,105,076 ) $ (15,617,571 ) The Companys consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016 was also impacted by the adoption of ASU 2017-11, including increases in the (i) net loss by $1,265,000 and (ii) loss on debt restructuring by $14,512,000; and the reduction of (i) noncash financing expenses by $1,096,000 and (ii) loss on the change in value of warrant liability by $14,681,000. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Summary - The FASB has made available Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity using U.S. GAAP that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (e.g., assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this ASU. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. For a public entity, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. We will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018, and have determined that the standard will not have a material impact on the companys financial statements. In June, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11, Inventory (Subtopic 330): Simplifying the measurement of Inventory. In February, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-11, Leases (Topic 842). In March, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718). |

Note 3 - Going Concern | The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced a net loss, and has an accumulated deficit of $46,667,000. The Company has convertible notes maturing during 2018 of $1,550,000, and current principal payments due in 2018 on outstanding promissory notes of $2,500,000. These principal payments raise doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Although we anticipate continued significant revenues for products to be used in MATS compliance activities, no assurances can be given that the Company can obtain sufficient working capital through these activities and additional financing activities to meet its debt obligations. Therefore, success in our debt refinancing efforts or negotiations with our note holders is critical. We are currently negotiating with outside sources of additional debt financing in order to fund our obligations however no assurances can be given that the Company can maintain sufficient working capital through these efforts or that the continued implementation of its business plan will generate sufficient revenues in the future to sustain ongoing operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. |

Note 6 - Intellectual Property | On January 15, 2009, the Company entered into an Exclusive Patent and Know-How License Agreement Including Transfer of Ownership with the Energy and Environmental Research Center Foundation, a non-profit entity (EERCF). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company has been granted an exclusive license by EERCF for the technology to develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, lease, and import the technology in any coal-fired combustion systems (power plant) worldwide and to develop and perform the technology in any coal-fired power plant in the world. Amendments No. 4 and No. 5 to this agreement were made effective as of December 16, 2013 and August 14, 2014, respectively, expanding the number of patents covered, eliminated certain contract provisions and compliance issues and restructured the fee payments and buyout provisions while granting EERCF equity in the Company. This agreement now applies to 25 domestic and foreign patents and patent applications. The Company paid EERCF $100,000 in 2009 for the license to use the patents and at the option of the Company can pay $2,500,000 and issue 875,000 shares of common stock for the assignment of the patents or pay the greater of the license maintenance fees or royalties on product sales for continued use of the patents. The license maintenance fees are $25,000 due monthly beginning in January 1, 2014 and continuing each month thereafter. The running royalties are $100 per one megawatt of electronic nameplate capacity and $100 per three megawatt per hour for the application to thermal systems to which licensed products or licensed processes are sold by the Company, associate and sublicensees. Running royalties are payable by the Company within 30 days after the end of each calendar year to the licensor and may be credited against license maintenance fees paid. Running royalties were $0 and $722,380 due to EERCF as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. On April 24, 2017, the Company closed on the acquisition from EERCF of all patent rights, including all patents and patents pending, domestic and foreign, relating to the foregoing technology. A total of 42 domestic and foreign patents and patent applications were included in the acquisition. In accordance with the terms of the License Agreement, the patent rights were acquired for the purchase price of (i) $2,500,000 in cash, and (ii) 925,000 shares of common stock of which 628,998 shares were issued to EERCF and 296,002 were issued to the inventors who had been designated by EERCF. Therefore, the Company has not accrued royalty expense as of December 31, 2017. As a result of the acquisition of the patent rights, no additional monthly license maintenance fees and annual running royalties shall be due and owing to the EERCF following closing which fees and royalties have now been eliminated. The Company was required to pay EERCF 35% of all sublicense income received by the Company, excluding royalties on sales by sublicensees. Sublicense income is payable by the Company within 30 day after the end of each calendar year to the licensor. On April 24, 2017, this requirement ended upon the Companys payment for the assignment and acquisition of the patent rights. There was no sublicense income in 2017 or 2016. License and patent costs capitalized as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows: December 31 December 31 2017 2016 Patents $ 3,068,995 $ - License - 100,000 Less: Accumulated Amortization (134,133 ) (47,055 ) License, Net $ 2,934,862 $ 52,945 The Company is currently amortizing its patents over their estimated useful life of 15 years. Amortization expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $136,083 and $5,880, respectively. Estimated annual amortization for each of the next five years is approximately $201,200. |

The notes bear interest at 10% per annum, are secured by the companys assets, and are convertible into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, with the initial conversion ratio equal to $0.50 per share. The notes had an initial term of three years, but have been extended until July 31, 2018. For each dollar invested, the investor received two warrants to purchase one shares of common stock of the Issuer at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The notes may be converted at any time and from time to time in whole or in part prior to the maturity date thereof. These securities were sold in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the safe harbor of Rule 506 under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, was $155,618 and $238,315, respectively. A discount on the notes payable of $841,342 was recorded based on the value of the warrants issued using a Black-Scholes options pricing model. Amortized interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 on this discount was $152,558 and $152,959, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, total principal of $1,550,000 and $1,575,000, respectively, was outstanding on these notes. On November 1, 2016, the Companies entered into an Amended and Restated Financing Agreement (the Restated Financing Agreement) with AC Midwest, pursuant to which AC Midwest, which held various warrants to acquire shares of the Companys common stock (the AC Midwest Warrants), will exercise on a cashless basis a portion of the AC Midwest Warrants for 10,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock and exchanged the AC Midwest Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and the remaining unexercised portion of the AC Midwest Warrants, for (i) a new senior secured note in the principal amount of $9,646,686 (the New AC Midwest Secured Note), and (ii) a subordinated unsecured note in the principal amount of $13,000,000 (the AC Midwest Subordinated Note). The completion of the transactions contemplated by the Restated Financing Agreement were subject to various conditions including but not limited to the closing by the Company of an equity offering raising at least $10.0 million of gross proceeds prior to December 31, 2016. On November 29, 2016, the Companies closed on the transactions contemplated by the Restated Financing Agreement. The Company recorded a loss of $14,105,076 on these transactions which was primarily related to the elimination of the warrant liability associated with the unexercised AC Midwest Warrants and was offset by the accelerated amortization of the discount and debt issuance costs associated with the AC Midwest Notes. New AC Midwest Secured Note The New AC Midwest Secured Note, which will mature on December 15, 2018 and is guaranteed by MES, is non-convertible and bears interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on or before the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning December 31, 2016. Commencing on June 15, 2017 and continuing on each September 15, December 15, March 15 and June 15 thereafter, the Company pays principal on the New AC Midwest Secured Note in equal installments of (i) $500,000 per quarter for the 2017 the calendar year, (ii) $625,000 per quarter for the 2018 calendar year, and (iii) thereafter $750,000 per quarter, with a final payment of all outstanding principal together with such other amounts as shall then be due and owing from the Company to AC Midwest under the New AC Midwest Secured Note on the maturity date. The New AC Midwest Secured Note is secured by all of the assets of the Companies. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $267,847 and $35,411, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, total principal of $1,146,686 and $2,646,686, respectively, was outstanding on this note. As of April 17, 2018, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants of the Restated Financing Agreement with AC Midwest Energy. Per the terms of the Restated Financing Agreement, AC Midwest has the right to accelerate any outstanding balance of the New Midwest Secured Note. AC Midwest Subordinated Note The AC Midwest Subordinated Note, which will mature on December 15, 2020 and is guaranteed by MES, is non-convertible and bears interest equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 5.0% per annum, payable quarterly on or before the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning December 31, 2016. The interest rate shall be subject to adjustment each quarter based on the then current LIBOR rate. Commencing on June 15, 2017 and continuing on each September 15, December 15, March 15 and June 15 thereafter, the Company pays principal on the AC Midwest Subordinated Note in equal installments of (i) $500,000 per quarter for the 2017 calendar year, (ii) $625,000 per quarter for the 2018 calendar year, and (iii) thereafter $750,000 per quarter, with a final payment of all outstanding principal together with such other amounts as shall then be due and owing from the Company to AC Midwest on the maturity date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the New AC Midwest Secured Note and LC Note are paid in full, AC Midwest will not be entitled to receive any payment on account of the AC Midwest Subordinated Note (other than regularly scheduled interest payments). Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $818,357 and $71,058, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, total principal of $13,000,000 and $13,000,000 respectively, was outstanding on this note. The Company determined that the rate of interest on the AC Midwest Subordinated Note was a below market rate of interest and determined that a discount of $2,400,000 should be recorded. This discount is based on an applicable market rate for unsecured debt for the Company of 15% and will be amortized as interested expense over the life of the loan. Amortized discount recorded as interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $593,094 and $53,622 respectively. On January 28, 2016, the Companies entered into Amendment No. 3 to Financing Agreement and Reaffirmation of Guaranty (the Third Amended Financing Agreement) with AC Midwest Energy LLC (the Lender), pursuant to which Lender agreed to cause its bank to arrange for the issuance to a certain customer of the Company a standby letter of credit in the amount of $2,000,000 (the Letter of Credit) to permit the Company to enter into a contract for mercury capture program with such customer. The Letter of Credit is to guarantee the Companys performance under its contract with such customer. Under the Third Amended Financing Agreement, and in consideration for the issuance of the Letter of Credit for the benefit of the Company, the Company shall pay AC Midwest a fee equal to 12.0% per annum of the amount available to be drawn under the Letter of Credit payable on the last day of each calendar month. No amounts were received on this letter of credit as of December 31, 2017. Fee expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $219,333 and $226,000, respectively. |

Fixed Price Contract The Companys multi-year contracts with its commercial customers contain fixed prices for product. These contracts expire through 2019 and expose the Company to the potential risks associated with rising material costs during that same period. Revenue reported during interim periods were recorded based on the facts and circumstances at the time and any differences noted when the final revenue is determined is considered to be a change in estimate for the period. Legal proceedings The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business. While the ultimate liability, if any, from these proceedings is presently indeterminable, in the opinion of management, these matters should not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements. |

This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions such as the expected stock price volatility and the expected period until the warrants are exercised. When calculating the value of warrants issued, the Company uses a volatility factor of 72.4%, a risk free interest rate and the life of the warrant for the exercise period. On February 16, 2016, the Company entered into a 2013 Noteholder Modification Agreement (the Noteholder Modification Agreement) with each of the investors (through their designated Note Agent) of certain secured promissory notes issued by the Company in 2013 (the 2013 Secured Notes). Such 2013 Secured Notes contain a most favored nations clause (MFN) which provides that following the Companys completion of an equity or equity-linked new financing (each a New Financing), the Company shall provide each of the holders of the 2013 Secured Notes (the Holders) written notice thereof and a 60 day period in which to exchange the 2013 Secured Notes at a value equal to the outstanding principal balance plus accrued outstanding interest into the same securities as issued in the New Financing. Pursuant to the Noteholder Modification Agreement, which was entered into in order to resolve the differences between the parties as to the applicability of the MFN provision to the Second Amended Financing Agreement, the Company (i) agreed that the exercise price for each share of common stock purchasable with respect to the 2013 Warrants held by currently outstanding Holders be reduced to $0.35 per share of common stock (resulting in the exercise price being reduced for 2013 Warrants exercisable for 3,290,000 shares), and (ii) agreed to issue to such currently outstanding Holders of 2013 Secured Notes in the aggregate warrants to purchase up to 1,600,000 shares of common stock at $0.35 per share, exercisable at any time on or before November 15, 2020. In addition, the Noteholder Modification Agreement provided additional carveouts to the applicability of the MFN provision to certain other transactions in the future as described therein. The warrants are fully vested and exercisable as of the date of grant and will expire five year thereafter. Based on a Black-Scholes valuation model, these options were valued at $495,394 in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and this cost was recorded as settlement charge expense during the year ended December 31, 2015. On February 19, 2016, the Company issued to Drexel pursuant to an amendment to its engagement agreement a 5-year warrant to purchase up to 300,000 shares of common stock at $0.35 per share. The warrant is subject to adjustments similar to the Warrant issued to the Lender on November 16, 2014. Approximately 200,000 of these warrants were owed to Drexel as of December 31, 2015 for services rendered. Also pursuant to this agreement, the exercise price on all warrants issued to Drexel on November 16, 2014 was reset to $0.35 per share. On April 26, 2016, pursuant to a consulting agreement executed on that date, the Company granted MZHCI, LLC, a vested warrant with a term of three years to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.65 per share. Per the terms of the agreement, the Company issued MZHCI, LLC an additional warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.90 per share 91 days after the effective date of the agreement. These warrants will each include a cashless exercise provision. Based on a Black-Scholes valuation model, the warrants issued on April 26, 2016 were valued at $19,240 in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Based on a Black-Scholes valuation model, the warrants issued on July 26, 2016 were valued at $58,780 in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. On November 30, 2017, pursuant to an amendment to the consulting agreement, these two warrants were canceled and a new warrant with a term of three years to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.45 was issued. Based on a Black-Scholes valuation model, an additional value of $17,922 was recorded for the warrant issued on November 30, 2017 in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The following table summarizes information about common stock warrants outstanding at December 31, 2017: Outstanding Exercisable Exercise Price Number Outstanding Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (years) Weighted Average Exercise Price Number Exercisable Weighted Average Exercise Price $ 1.25 13,950 0.75 1.25 13,950 1.25 0.87 1,303,300 1.36 0.87 1,303,300 0.87 0.75 683,415 0.80 0.65 683,415 0.65 0.65 515,000 0.82 0.65 515,000 0.50 0.45 150,000 2.92 0.45 150,000 0.45 0.35 4,572,098 * 1.44 0.35 4,572,098 0.35 $ 0.50 - $3.30 7,237,763 1.35 7,237,763 Note * 916,720 warrants exercisable at $0.35 contain dilution protections that increase the number of shares purchasable at exercise upon the issuance of securities at a price below the current exercise price. |

Significant components of the Companys deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows at December 31: 2017 2016 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 3,840,000 $ 5,927,000 Stock based compensation 903,000 1,211,000 Total deferred tax assets 4,743,000 7,138,000 Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment (137,000 ) (228,000 ) Other (11,000 ) (33,000 ) Total deferred tax liabilites (148,000 ) (261,000 ) Valuation Allowance (4,595,000 ) (6,377,000 ) Net deferred tax asset $ - $ 500,000 The Tax Act reduces the federal statutory corporate tax rate from 34.0% to 21.0% for the Companys tax years beginning in 2018, which resulted in the re-measurement of the federal portion of its deferred tax assets and liabilities, and its related valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets, at December 31, 2017, from 34.0% to the new 21.0% tax rate. Refer to Note 13 for further discussion related to the impact of the Tax Act on the Companys accounting for income taxes at December 31, 2017. On a gross basis, the Tax Act resulted in a reduction to the Companys deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowance of approximately $2,936,000, $92,000 and $2,844,000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company had net operating income, however, the use of net operating loss carryforwards eliminate the provision for income tax. The Company recorded a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, we determined there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of some portion of these allowances and recorded a deferred tax asset of $500,000. However, for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, it was determined that sufficient evidence did not exist to support the reversal of some portions of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, we no longer recorded any deferred tax asset, and no benefit for income taxes was recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At December 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $18,284,000 of net operating losses. The net operating loss carryforwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2031. The Companys effective income tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively are different than what would be expected if the statutory rate were applied to net income before income tax expense primarily because of expense charges in connection with various non-cash financing transactions, the use of net operating loss carryforwards, and the change in the valuation allowance. |

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Policies | |
Basis of Presentation | The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP). |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in one account with one financial institution, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. |
Accounts Receivable | Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Companys customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on managements assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the allowance for doubtful accounts was zero. |
Inventory | Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value). |
Property and Equipment | Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For consolidated financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 2 to 5 years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. Management reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment for impairment on an annual basis. |
Recoverability of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets | The Company has adopted ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of the long-lived and or intangible assets would be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows. The Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of the Companys equipment. No impairment charges were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. |
Stock-Based Compensation | The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, CompensationStock Compensation |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value, which are as follows: · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances where the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Companys assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. Cash and cash equivalents were the only asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the Company at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and is considered to be Level 1. Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, customer credits and short-term debt. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated fair value at December 31, 2017 and 2016 due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of the convertible promissory notes payable at December 31, 2017 and 2016 approximated the carrying amount as the notes were issued during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 at interest rates prevailing in the market and interest rates have not significantly changed as of December 31, 2017. The fair value of the convertible promissory notes payable was determined on a Level 2 measurement. |
Foreign Currency Transactions | The Companys functional currency is the United States Dollar (the U.S. Dollar). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar are re-measured to the U.S. Dollar at the period-end exchange rates. Any associated transactional currency re-measurement gains and losses are recognized in current operations. |
Revenue Recognition | The Company records revenue from sales in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition 1. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 2. Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; 3. The sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and 4. Collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) will be based on managements judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company recorded customer acquisition costs totaling $1,287,500 during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company entered into agreements with three new customers during this period. The capitalized balance of customer acquisition costs was $172,333 and $642,203 on December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $469,870 and $443,450, respectively. The Company generated revenues of $27,499,080 and $32,345,540 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company generated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 by (i) delivering product to its commercial customers, (ii) completing and commissioning equipment projects at commercial customer sites and (iii) performing demonstrations of its technology at customers with the intent of entering into long term supply agreements based on the performance of the Companys products during the demonstrations. In accordance with the terms of an agreement with one customer, the Company has agreed to credit $517,060 of payments received in 2017 towards future deliveries. This amount is included as deferred revenue at December 31, 2017 and is expected to be recognized as revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 when product is delivered to the customer . |
Income Taxes | Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprises consolidated financial statements are based on a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2017 or 2016. When necessary, the Company would accrue penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and three state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years prior to 2014 or state tax examinations for years prior to 2013. |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share | Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. There were no dilutive potential common shares as of December 31, 2017 or 2016, because the Company incurred net losses and basic and diluted losses per common share are the same. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and equivalents on deposit with financial institutions and accounts receivable. The Companys cash as of December 31, 2017 is on deposit in a non-interest-bearing transaction account that is subject to FDIC deposit insurance limits. For each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 100% of the Companys revenue related to eight customers, respectively. At both December 31, 2017 and 2016, 100% of the Companys accounts receivable related to six and five customers, respectively. |
Contingencies | Certain conditions may exist which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Companys management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Companys legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Companys consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they arise from guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | In April, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 is intended to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. Deferred tax liabilities and assets will be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position, and the current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount remains the same. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. During 2016, we have implemented this new standard. In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. ASU 2017-11 allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entitys own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance is to be applied using a full or modified retrospective approach. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-11 and changed its method of accounting for certain warrants that were initially recorded as liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2014 on a full retrospective basis. Since the warrants were issued in conjunction with the issuance of certain convertible notes payable. The following table provide a reconciliation of warrant liability, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016: Consolidated Balance Sheet Warrant Liability Additional paid in capital Accumulated deficit Balance, December 31, 2016 (Prior to adoption of ASU 2017-11) $ 1,313,000 $ 49,838,468 $ (54,883,223 ) Reverese beginning balance as of Janaury 1, 2016 (9,854,000 ) - 9,854,000 Issuance of warrants (1,096,000 ) - 1,096,000 Change in fair value of warrant liability (14,021,626 ) (659,685 ) 14,681,311 Stock issued upon cashless warrant exercise 9,147,159 (9,147,159 ) - Loss on debt restructuting 14,511,467 - (14,511,467 ) Balance, December 31, 2016 (After adoption of ASU 2017-11) - $ 40,031,625 $ (43,763,379 ) The following table provide a reconciliation of interest expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, gain (loss) on debt restructuring and net loss on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016: Consolidated Statement Of Operations Interest Expense Change in value of warrant liability Gain on debt restructuring Net loss Balance, December 31, 2016 (Prior to adoption of ASU 2017-11) $ (4,912,855 ) $ (14,681,311 ) $ 406,791 $ (16,883,015 ) Issuance of warrants 1,096,000 - - 1,096,000 Change in fair value of warrant liability - 14,681,311 - 14,681,311 Loss on debt restructuting - - (14,511,867 ) (14,511,867 ) $ (3,816,855 ) - $ (14,105,076 ) $ (15,617,571 ) The Companys consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016 was also impacted by the adoption of ASU 2017-11, including increases in the (i) net loss by $1,265,000 and (ii) loss on debt restructuring by $14,512,000; and the reduction of (i) noncash financing expenses by $1,096,000 and (ii) loss on the change in value of warrant liability by $14,681,000. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | In May, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Summary - The FASB has made available Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity using U.S. GAAP that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (e.g., assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this ASU. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. For a public entity, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. We will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018, and have determined that the standard will not have a material impact on the companys financial statements. In June, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11, Inventory (Subtopic 330): Simplifying the measurement of Inventory. In February, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-11, Leases (Topic 842). In March, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718). |
