Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the related notes filed with this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, references to "we," "our," "us," the "Company," “STW”,  refer to STW Resources Holding Corp. (f/k/a Woozyfly Inc. and STW Global, Inc.), a Nevada corporation.
 
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
Corporate History
 
STW Resources Holding Corp. (“STW” or the “Company”, f/k/a WoozyFly, Inc. and STW Global Inc.) is a development stage corporation formed to utilize state of the art water reclamation technologies to reclaim fresh water from highly contaminated oil and gas hydraulic fracture flow-back salt water that is produced in conjunction with the production of oil and gas.  STW has been working to establish contracts with oil and gas operators for the deployment of multiple water reclamation systems throughout Texas.  STW, in conjunction with energy producers, operators, various state agencies and legislators, is working to create an efficient and economical solution to this complex problem.  The Company is also evaluating the deployment of similar technology in the municipal wastewater industry.

On January 17, 2010, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with STW Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of STW Resources, Inc. (“STW”) and certain shareholders of STW controlling a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of STW.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, STW merged into the Acquisition Sub resulting in an exchange of all of the issued and outstanding shares of STW for shares of the Company on a one for one basis. At such time, STW became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  
 
On February 9, 2010, the Court entered an order confirming the Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Plan and the Merger Agreement were approved.   The Plan was effective February 19, 2010 (the “Effective Date”). The principal provisions of the Plan were as follows:
 
MKM, the DIP Lender, received 400,000 shares of common stock and 2,140,000 shares of preferred stock;
The holders of the Convertible Notes received 1,760,000 shares of common stock;
General unsecured claims received 100,000 shares of common stock; and
The Company’s equity interest was extinguished and cancelled.
 
 
-1-

 
 
On February 12, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, STW merged with and into Acquisition Sub, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).  In consideration for the Merger and STW becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company issued an aggregate of 31,780,004 (the “STW Acquisition Shares”) shares of common stock to the shareholders of STW at the closing of the Merger and all derivative securities of STW as of the Merger became derivative securities of the Company including options and warrants to acquire 12,613,002 shares of common stock at an exercise price ranging from $3.00 to $8.00 with an exercise period ranging from July 31, 2011 through November 12, 2014 and convertible debentures in the principal amount of $1,467,903 with a conversion price of $0.25 and maturity dates ranging from April 24, 2010 through November 12, 2010.

The par value of the exchanged shares changed from $0.00001 to $0.001.  All share amounts presented throughout this document reflect this change in par value.
 
Considering that, following the Merger, the shareholders of the Company control the majority of our outstanding voting common stock of the Company and effectively succeeded our otherwise minimal operations to those that are theirs; the Company is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction. A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of the Company’s securities for our net monetary assets, which are deminimus, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly the Company has not recognized any goodwill or other intangible assets in connection with this reverse merger transaction.
 
Effective March 1, 2010, Woozyfly, Inc. changed its name to STW Global, Inc. in accordance with the Bankruptcy proceeding.  On March 3, 2010, the Company changed its name to STW Resources Holding Corp (STW).  The name change was accomplished by merging a wholly owned subsidiary into the Company, resulting in a name change and the Company being the surviving corporation.
 
The Company is the surviving and continuing entity of the Merger and the historical financials following the Merger are those of STW.   Woozyfly was a "shell company" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately prior to its acquisition of STW pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.  Consequently, management believes that the Merger has caused the Company to cease to be a shell company as it no longer has nominal operations.
 
Overview
 
The Company, based in Midland, Texas, provides customized water reclamation services.  STW’s core expertise is an understanding of water chemistry and its application to the analysis and remediation of complex water reclamation issues. STW provides a complete solution throughout all phases of a water reclamation project including analysis, design, evaluation, implementation and operations.
 
STW’s expertise is applicable to several market segments including:
 
Gas shale hydro-fracturing flow-back;
 Oil and gas produced water;
 Desalination;
 Brackish water; and
 Municipal wastewater.

Understanding water chemistry is the foundation of STW’s expertise.  STW will provide detailed chemical analysis of the input stream and of the process output that conforms to the various environmental and legal requirements and the needs of the customer. STW becomes an integral part of the water management process and provides a customized solution that encompasses analysis, design, and operations including pretreatment and transportation.  Simultaneously, STW evaluates the economic impact of this process to the customer. These processes will use technologies that fit our customer’s needs: fixed, mobile or portable; reverse-osmosis, membrane technology, chemical, other technologies, and any necessary pre-treatment, post-treatment. STW will also supervise construction, testing, and operation of these systems. Our keystone is determining and optimizing the most appropriate technology to effectively and economically address our customers’ particular requirements.  As an independent solutions provider STW is manufacturer-agnostic and is committed to the use of the right technology demanded by the design process.

Market Opportunities
 
Gas shale fracturing flow-back water
 
STW is actively pursuing opportunities in all the major shale formations in Texas. The initial focus, in this sector, is the shale activity in the Permian, Delaware and Eagle Ford basins of Texas.
 
Unconventional tight oil and gas shales such as the Wolfcamp Shale in West Texas require millions of gallons of fresh water to drill and stimulate a new well.  The water returns during the fracture flow-back (“frac”) and production (“production”) with salts or total dissolved solids (“TDS”) at levels unfit for human consumption.  This flow-back or produced water is typically disposed of through various means such as controlled injection into disposal wells.  STW will target the frac water market in the tight oil and gas formations first, and approach the produced water market for oil and gas production subsequently.

Oil and gas reservoirs are usually found in porous rocks, which also contain saltwater.  Cross linked gel fracture fluids with high “proppant” loading (additives that prop open fissures in the geological formation caused by hydraulic fracturing) have been utilized to fracture these zones in order to gain permeability, allowing the oil and gas to flow to the well bore.  The unconventional shale formations have been common knowledge for decades, but the cost of gas production was always considered to be uneconomical.  The wells were drilled and fractured with the same crossed linked system as discussed above.
 
All of the wells were vertical and required stimulation about every three years with a new fracture.  Around 2001, the “slick water fracture” technique was developed. This change required larger volumes of fresh water (1.2 million gallons per fracture on a  well) to be used in the fracturing process, a friction reducing polymer additive, and low concentrations of a proppant in the hydraulic fracture fluid.  Wells using this modified technique now can economically produce oil and gas for over eight years without re-stimulation.  The fresh water is believed to dissolve salts from the shale over time and open up the natural fractures and fissures in the rock, allowing more oil and gas to be produced.  In 2003, horizontal drilling rigs were brought into the Barnett Shale and the slick water fracture volume increased from one to eight plus million gallons per well.  The slick water fracture technique has become the standard for most of the shale formations for stimulation of the wells.

This map illustrates the location of the major shale formations that are discussed below:
The Permian and Delaware Basins in West Texas
 
Producers in West Texas are facing the same water related problems as other producers are nationwide - a shortage of fresh water due to drought and municipality expansion. There are over 450 drilling rigs working in West Texas using approximately 8+ million gallons of fresh water monthly. The formations are shale and the discovery of several new shale formations, West Texas is considered to be one of the largest and most active oil and gas areas in the United States.

Eagle Ford Shale Formation
 
The Eagle Ford Shale is a recently discovered formation located in South Texas.  The development stage of the field is being done with thousands of wells to be drilled and completed annually. This area has limited supplies of fresh water, leading the Company to believe water reclamation will be a required solution in order for producers to access a sufficient supply of frac water in this market. Production of natural gas has been reported at levels in excess of 10 million cubic feet (“Mcf”) per day, and hundreds of barrels of condensate at some of the wells. The Company expects to intensify its efforts to address this market opportunity.

Produced Water
 
Shale zones are typically dry geological formations devoid of any formation or connate water, and hence the fracture flow-back water comprises most of water that returns following gas production.  Outside of shale formations, where most gas and oil production occurs, there is typically a reservoir of connate water in the production zone that generates “produced” water. Produced water is primarily salty water trapped in the reservoir rock and brought up along with oil and/or gas during production, and is the most common oil field waste.  The quality of produced water varies significantly in different parts of the world depending on the geology of the underlying formation.
 
In a large number of the oil fields in the USA, secondary or tertiary means of handling produced water storage, such as water floods and steam floods, are typically utilized. These are operations where the produced water is used to maintain reservoir pressure, prevent subsidence, and sweep the zone to remove the oil. Most of these water floods utilize a fresh water source as a supply so that sufficient volumes are available. As these fields age, more water is required for the flood, so excess contaminated brines concentrate and require disposal. As this water could be reclaimed with STW proprietary systems, STW believes that the market for reclaiming produced water outside the shale reclamation projects represents a considerable opportunity for the Company.
 
Texas is the largest oil and gas production state in the nation and the produced water is unfit for use, poses a threat to the environment and is typically injected into deep injection wells. In accordance with Texas Railroad Commission regulations, water placed in these disposal wells is rendered permanently unavailable for re-use or consumption. The reclaimed water would available for many beneficial uses, including agricultural and environmental applications, as well as re-use in hydraulic fracturing operations. Deep injection well practices in every gas and oil producing region in the world pose the same detrimental environmental and resource conservation issues.  The water reclamation products and services offered by the Company could provide a significant part of the solution to all constituencies concerned.
  
Brackish Water
 
World-wide, there are brackish water zones that contain large volumes of water.  The water contains dissolved salts in the 0.5 to 2% (5,000 to 20,000 mg/l TDS) range and hence unfit for human use.  This water can be treated to reduce the TDS below 500 mg/l or 0.05% TDS making the water fit for human consumption. Factors such as decreasing supplies of fresh ground and surface water, increased competition for surface water resources, and changes in population/demand centers are driving the need for brackish water for water supply.  STW’s potential customers are private companies and municipalities serving fast growing metropolitan areas where demand for water is outpacing the available supply.  For example, aquifers in the Texas Gulf Coast contain a large volume of brackish water (less than 10,000 ppm TDS) that, with desalinization, will help meet increasing demand in the region.
 
There are more than 450 drilling rigs operating in West Texas and each one will use approximately 8+ millions gallons of fresh water per month for drilling and fracking wells. In its current form, brackish water is unsuitable for oilfield use. By cleaning it in an economical way with STW technology, it may be used in the oilfield, thus reducing the strain on current fresh water supplies.
 
STW is also involved in several projects that will be cleaning brackish water for municipal and golf course use. This helps in the conservation of our fresh water resources.
 
With one of the worst droughts in our history, the use of treated brackish water is extremely popular and STW has successfully designed and engineered a system capable of processing this water very economically.

Legislative and Regulatory:
 
Progressively tighter regulations are demanding a thorough review of the entire water-use cycle in industrial applications with the ultimate goal of encouraging and/or mandating reclamation and re-use of water. STW works closely with Federal, State and local regulators and environmental agencies to share our expertise and knowledge on this complex issue and discuss our views on potential solutions.  The Company’s intimate knowledge of this process is a key tool to assist their customers to better understand the legislative and regulatory elements related to water management and advise them of various alternatives.

Process
 
STW’s proprietary systems and processes are predicated upon a thorough understanding of the customer’s water needs and related issues. This understanding is developed through a series of interactive discussions with the customer. The next phase is data gathering and analysis. STW collects samples at various locations and at different time intervals which are then tested at independent laboratories and analyzed by STW. Based upon this analysis, STW would recommend a solution using the most appropriate technologies and negotiate the acquisition and financing of these technologies as well as contracts with engineering procurement construction (“EPC”). Finally, STW oversees the EPC process and operates the facility.
 
STW’s processes are based upon a fundamental understanding of the core issue and developing an appropriate solution using our experience and expertise. It includes sampling and testing, analysis, design and as required by customers, implementation and operation. Some of the steps involved are described below:
 
The inlet water quality must be determined and measurement of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), hardness, barium, strontium, bromine, sulfate and hydrocarbon concentrations are critical.
Multiple samples over time are taken to ensure consistency and accuracy of inlet water quality measurement.
An understanding and analysis of potential uses for the reclaimed water.
A site inspection to determine the various vessels needed such as tanks, pumps, pits, truck off loading racks, and engineering testing of the land.
An analysis of fluid volumes and their variability over time.
Length of time the water needs to be reclaimed at this site.
Determination of appropriate technology: fixed or mobile, evaporation, reverse osmosis or other.
Permitting as needed
An investigation of the handling of the concentrated brines and any other residue from the reclamation process.
Disposal options on the residue including potential use of the by-products.
 
Technology
 
STW has developed relationships with a number of manufacturers that offer best-of-class technologies applicable to its customer base. These technologies include thermal evaporation, membrane technology and reverse osmosis and are available as fixed or mobile units with varying capacities. Various pre and post-treatment options are available as necessary including crystallizers that process very high TDS (>150,000 mg/l).
 
Thermal Evaporation: This process is capable of handling waters that contain up to 150,000 mg/l TDS, with fresh water recovery rates from 50 to 90% or greater depending on inlet water quality. The recovered fresh water, or “distillate”, is highly purified water from the evaporative process and has multiple re-use applications. It is particularly applicable in the gas shale and oil production facilities for reclaiming frac and produced waters.
 
The technology is scalable and can be deployed as mobile units that can process 72,000 gallons per day (“gpd”), or as portable units that can process 216,000 gpd, or as fixed central units capable of processing up to 2,880,000 gpd.

Residual brine concentrate can, depending on local conditions and producer’s priorities, either be disposed off in deep injection wells or be treated further through a Crystallizer that reduces it into distillate and commercially valuable salt residuals.
 
Reverse Osmosis: Waters that are below 34,000 mg/l of total dissolved solids and contain low levels of barium, strontium, bromine, and sulfate can be reclaimed through a reverse osmosis unit (RO).  Reverse osmosis is the process of forcing a solvent from a region of high solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low solute concentration by applying a pressure in excess of the osmotic pressure.  The membranes used for reverse osmosis are generally designed to allow only water to pass through while preventing the passage of solutes (such as salt ions).  This process is best known for its use in desalination (removing the salt from sea water to get fresh water), but it has also been used to purify fresh water for medical, industrial and domestic applications. Recovery rates for seawater to drinking water are about 50%.

A stream of concentrated brine or higher TDS is the by-product.  This brine can be properly disposed of or utilized as a feed solution to a brine concentrator or crystallizer. The latter ensures higher quality water with lower TDS levels for industrial Uses.
 
Most oilfield waters cannot be processed through an RO membrane since they contain barium, strontium, or bromine. The barium and strontium are very large molecules and they plug the membrane and create damage or permanent fouling of the membrane.  Bromine and other such halogens react with the membrane and destroy its integrity.  There are few oil field waters that could be processed through this technology but a thorough study is required to ensure success.  STW will utilize this technology where the water chemistry can be processed through RO membranes.
 
Membrane Bioreactor:   A Membrane BioReactor (“MBR”) is a combination of biological and ultra filtration technologies.  The biological area provides the same process utilized in all sewage treatment facilities.  Bacteria are maintained in an aerobic condition which cause decay in all of the organic materials contained in the water, and oxidizing these organic materials into low molecular weight acids, usually acetic acid.  Maintaining the bacteria in an oxygen rich environment prevents mutation or growth of any anaerobic bacteria, which would produce inorganic acids such as hydrogen sulfide.
 
A filter membrane removes the water fraction from the unit.  The membrane provides filtration in the 0.01 microns or lower range which is sufficient enough to remove viruses, bacteria, and other colloidal materials.  The water exiting the units is potable water and safe for human consumption.
 
Marketing & Sales
 
STW’s business proposition is to provide comprehensive, necessary water treatment solutions. We work closely with our customers to evaluate their water treatment needs, understand how these may change over time, assess the regulatory and economic factors and then design an optimal solution.  STW offers a broad array of technical solutions coupled with a service suite and financial structuring options that provide our customers with the ability to obtain a turnkey solution to their waste water disposal challenges.

 Oil and Gas Shales: Most of the oil and gas producers in each of the shale formations are already well known to the Company.  STW personnel have developed many, and in some cases, long standing relationships with key personnel responsible for well completion and remedial operations at each gas producer.  STW monitors production plans at the producer level, the acreage acquisitions at the shale formations and trends that relate to the demand for water reclamation by region.  In addition, the Company maintains detailed databases that monitor drilling permits, rig counts and other key statistics that forecast gas production rates by geography.  These activities allow the Company to anticipate demand for its services and to prioritize its sales calling effort on those producers for whom fresh water supply is an issue or where shale water disposal pose the greatest challenges.

The foundation of the Company’s sales strategy is to become an integral part of its customer’s water management function.  This involves identifying and finding solutions to customer needs through a multi–step, consultative approach:
 
Evaluate drilling program and production expansion plans.
Identify and define fracture water supply needs and waste brine generation levels.
Study the flowback water volumes and chemistry over time.
Generate economic models jointly with producers, with full consideration of all costs of obtaining, utilizing, and disposing of the water.
Evaluate various water reclamation options, from equipment to logistics, and   develop financial models for all the options.
Provide a customized presentation comparing present practices to all of the options of water reclamation available to the customer, for buy-in to the best scenarios.
Jointly develop a presentation of the best scenarios for water management (present and future) for use by upper management.  Support the presentation as required.
Review and determine optimal system design, location and financial structure.
Develop a time line for water reclamation implementation.
Execute definitive off-take and/or other agreements satisfactory to all parties.

 
-7-

 
 
STW is able to facilitate this part of the sales process through its detailed knowledge of the oil and gas drilling, fracking and production process and economics, shale formation geology, frac water chemistry, well completion techniques and logistics and regional regulatory landscapes. This expertise reduces the time required during the evaluative stage of the sales process and fosters a positive working relationship with our customers.  STW then works together with its engineering and manufacturing partners to complete the technical solution, develop ancillary system requirements (balance of plant) evaluate cost and operating data, model the financial performance of the system and define remaining project parameters and an installation timeline.
 
Water reclamation is a new paradigm for oil and gas producers. Educating them about the economic, environmental and political benefits is key to long-term adoption.
 
Competition
 
In the oil and gas industry, current fracturing and produced water disposal methods – deep injection wells and surface water disposal – represent the Company’s greatest source of competition.
 
Brine Discharge / Deep Injection Wells
 
In many gas shale fields, disposal through a deep injection well offers a cost-effective (though environmentally questionable) alternative to water reclamation.  If suitable geology exists, high TDS flowback waters can be disposed by injection into a deep discharge well.  There are operative brine discharge wells in each of the major shale formations.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information included in this annual report on Form 10-K, as well as the information included in other reports and filings made with the SEC, before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose part or all of your investment.
 
Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future performance.
 
We have a limited operating history and have generated limited revenue.  As a consequence, it is difficult, if not impossible, to forecast our future results based upon our historical data.  Reliance on the historical results may not be representative of the results we will achieve, particularly in our combined form.  Because of the uncertainties related to our lack of historical operations, we may be hindered in our ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in revenues or expenses.  If we make poor budgetary decisions as a result of unreliable historical data, we could be less profitable or incur losses, which may result in a decline in our stock price. 
 
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our 2012 consolidated financial statements contains a going concern modification, and we will need additional financing to execute our business plan, fund our operations and to continue as a going concern, which additional financing may not be available on a timely basis, or at all.

 
-8-

 
 
We have limited remaining funds to support our operations. We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We will not be able to execute our current business plan, fund our business operations or continue as a going concern long enough to achieve profitability unless we are able to secure additional funds. The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our December 31, 2012, consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the recurring losses incurred from operations and a working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. However, in order to sustain and improve operations, we will need to secure additional funds. If adequate financing is not available, we will not be able to sustain operations. In addition, if one or more of the risks discussed in these risk factors occur or our expenses exceed our expectations, we may be required to raise further additional funds sooner than anticipated.

We will be required to pursue sources of additional capital to fund our operations through various means, including equity or debt financing, funding from a corporate partnership or licensing arrangement or any similar financing. However, we may be unable to obtain such financings on reasonable terms, or at all.   Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for our new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have additional dilutive effects. In addition, if we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our product candidates or proprietary technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial results.  As a result, there can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise funds to satisfy our capital needs prior to the end of 2013, we may be required to cease operations.
 
STW’s results of operations have not resulted in profitability and we may not be able to achieve profitability going forward.
 
STW has an deficit accumulated during the development stage of approximately $17,322,000 as of December 31, 2012 and had a net loss of approximately $3,599,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  In addition, as of December 31, 2012, STW had total liabilities of approximately $9,359,000 and total assets of approximately $201,000.
 
Our management is developing plans to alleviate the negative trends and conditions described above.  Our business plan is speculative and unproven. There is no assurance that we will be successful in executing our business plan or that even if we successfully implement our business plan, that we will be able to curtail our losses now or in the future.  Further, as we are a new enterprise, we expect that net losses will continue and our working capital deficiency will exacerbate.
 
We depend upon key personnel and need additional personnel.
 
Our success depends on the continuing services of Stanley Weiner, our chief executive officer and director.  The loss of Mr. Weiner could have a material and adverse effect on our business operations.  Additionally, the success of the Company’s operations will largely depend upon its ability to successfully attract and maintain competent and qualified key management personnel. As with any company with limited resources, there can be no guaranty that the Company will be able to attract such individuals or that the presence of such individuals will necessarily translate into profitability for the Company.  Our inability to attract and retain key personnel may materially and adversely affect our business operations.

We must effectively manage the growth of our operations, or our company will suffer.
 
To manage our growth, we believe we must continue to implement and improve our operational and marketing departments. We may not have adequately evaluated the costs and risks associated with this expansion, and our systems, procedures, and controls may not be adequate to support our operations. In addition, our management may not be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully offer our products and services and implement our business plan on a profitable basis. The success of our future operating activities will also depend upon our ability to expand our support system to meet the demands of our growing business. Any failure by our management to effectively anticipate, implement, and manage changes required to sustain our growth would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
Our business requires substantial capital, and if we are unable to maintain adequate financing sources our profitability and financial condition will suffer and jeopardize our ability to continue operations.
 
We require substantial capital to support our operations.  If we are unable to maintain adequate financing or other sources of capital are not available, we could be forced to suspend, curtail or reduce our operations, which could harm our revenues, profitability, financial condition and business prospects.
 
Our operations are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on us.
 
Our operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Various permits from government bodies are required for our operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages. We generally maintain insurance coverage customary to the industry; however, we are not fully insured against all possible environmental risks. To date, we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations. 
 
Risks associated with the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater may impose significant costs.
 
Our wastewater collection, treatment and disposal operations of our subsidiaries are subject to substantial regulation and involve significant environmental risks. If collection systems fail, overflow or do not operate properly, untreated wastewater or other contaminants could spill onto nearby properties or into nearby streams and rivers, causing damage to persons or property, injury to aquatic life and economic damages, which may not be recoverable in rates.  Liabilities resulting from such damage could adversely and materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, in the event that we are deemed liable for any damage caused by overflow, our losses might not be covered by insurance policies, and such losses may make it difficult for us to secure insurance in the future at acceptable rates.
 
We will require significant capital requirements for equipment, commercialization and overall success.
 
We will require additional financing for our operations, to purchase equipment and to establish a customer base.  We anticipate that we will require a minimum of $3.0 to $5.0 million in additional capital over the next six months to pursue our business plan.  We cannot assure you that we will obtain any additional financing through any other means.  Additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.  Unless we raise additional financing, we will not have sufficient funds to complete the purchase of equipment and commercialization of our services.  As of the date of this Annual Report, we have no firm commitments for additional capital.

 
-10-

 
 
Our additional financing requirements could result in dilution to existing stockholders.
 
We will require additional financings obtained through one or more transactions which effectively dilute the ownership interests of holders of our Common Stock.  We have the authority to issue additional shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock as well as additional classes or series of ownership interests or debt obligations which may be convertible into any class or series of ownership interests in the Company.  The Company is currently authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.  Such securities may be issued without the approval or other consent of the holders of the Common Stock. As of December 31, 2012 and the date of this report, the Company is over subscribed in relation to the number of shares authorized and the number of shares that would be needed if all equity and debt instruments were converted into common shares.
 
A small number of existing shareholders own a significant amount of our Common Stock, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of any shareholder vote.
 
Our executive officers, directors and shareholders holding in excess of 5% of our issued and outstanding shares, beneficially own over 56.0% of our common stock as of December 31, 2012. Under our Articles of Incorporation and Nevada law, the vote of a majority of the shares outstanding is generally required to approve most shareholder action.  As a result, these individuals will be able to significantly influence the outcome of shareholder votes for the foreseeable future, including votes concerning the election of directors, amendments to our Articles of Incorporation or proposed mergers or other significant corporate transactions.
 
We face competition.
 
We face competition from existing companies in reclamation of oil and gas waste water space that provide similar services to the Company’s.  Our competitors may have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, broader customer relationships and industry alliances and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do.  Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements.
 
We rely on confidentiality agreements that could be breached and may be difficult to enforce.
 
Although we believe that we take reasonable steps to protect our intellectual property, including the use of agreements relating to the non-disclosure of our confidential information to third parties, as well as agreements that provide for disclosure and assignment to us of all rights to the ideas, developments, discoveries and inventions of our employees and consultants while we employ them, such agreements can be difficult and costly to enforce.  Although we generally seek to enter into these types of agreements with our consultants, advisors and research collaborators, to the extent that such parties apply or independently develop intellectual property in connection with any of our projects, disputes may arise concerning allocation of the related proprietary rights.  If a dispute were to arise enforcement of our rights could be costly and the result unpredictable.  In addition, we also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that we seek to protect, in part, through confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors or others.
 
Despite the protective measures we employ, we still face the risk that: agreements may be breached; agreements may not provide adequate remedies for the applicable type of breach; our trade secrets or proprietary know-how may otherwise become known; our competitors may independently develop similar technology; or our competitors may independently discover our proprietary information and trade secrets.

There has not been an active public market for our common stock so the price of our common stock could be volatile and could decline at a time when you want to sell your holdings.

 
-11-

 
 
Our common stock is traded on the OTC Pink under the symbol STWS. Our common stock is not actively traded and the price of our common stock may be volatile.  Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. These factors include:
 
expiration of lock-up agreements;
our earnings releases, actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors;
changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock;
speculation about our business in the press or the investment community;
significant developments relating to our relationships with our customers or suppliers;
stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in the oil and gas industry;
customer demand for our products;
investor perceptions of the oil and gas industry in general and our company in particular;
the operating and stock performance of comparable companies;
general economic conditions and trends;
major catastrophic events;
announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures;
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles;
sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant stockholders; and
additions or departures of key personnel.
 
Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources.
 
Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our company at a time when you want to sell your interest in us.
 
Our Common Stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
 
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
 
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
 
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
 
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
 
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 
-12-

 
 
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
 
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
 
Because certain of our stockholders control a significant number of shares of our common stock, they may have effective control over actions requiring stockholder approval.
 
Our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders, and their respective affiliates, will beneficially own approximately 56.0% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31, 2012. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, would have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, these stockholders, acting together, would have the ability to control the management and affairs of our company. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership might harm the market price of our common stock by:
 
 
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in corporate control;
 
impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us; or
 
discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.
 
Any adjustment in the conversion price of our convertible notes or the exercise price of our warrants could have a depressive effect on our stock price and the market for our stock.
 
If we are required to adjust the warrant exercise price pursuant to any of the adjustment provisions of the agreements relating to any of our prior financing transaction, the adjustment or the perception that an adjustment may be required, may have a depressive effect on both our stock price and the market for our common stock.
 
Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting.
 
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, regardless of whether we are required to maintain such controls, could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
 
The Company’s management assessed the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 based on the framework set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at December 31, 2012. See "Item 9 Controls and Procedures" for more a detailed discussion.
 
We have not paid dividends on our common stock in the past and do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
 
No cash dividends have been paid on our common stock. We expect that any income received from operations will be devoted to our future operations and growth. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. Payment of dividends would depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available for those dividends, and other factors as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.
 
We recently became a public company and subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Prior to February 2010, we had not operated as a public company and the requirements of these rules and regulations will likely increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition.  

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting. For example, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that our management report on, the effectiveness of our internal controls structure and procedures for financial reporting. Section 404 compliance may divert internal resources and will take a significant amount of time and effort to complete. We may not be able to successfully complete the procedures and certification and attestation requirements of Section 404 by the time we will be required to do so. If we fail to do so, or if in the future our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determine that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective as defined under Section 404, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Furthermore, investor perceptions of our company may suffer, and this could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock. Irrespective of compliance with Section 404, any failure of our internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our stated results of operations and harm our reputation. If we are unable to implement these changes effectively or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting or financial results. The Company’s management assessed the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 based on the framework set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at December 31, 2012, see "Item 9. Controls and Procedures" for more detailed discussion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, management reviewed the financial statements and underlying information included in this annual report on Form 10-K and believes the procedures performed are adequate to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in all material respects.
 
In order to achieve effective internal controls, we may need to hire a number of additional employees with public accounting and disclosure experience in order to meet our ongoing obligations as a public company, which will increase costs. Our management team and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to new compliance initiatives and to meeting the obligations that are associated with being a public company, which may divert attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
 
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by industry or financial analysts. If no or few analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price of our stock would likely decrease. Even if we do obtain analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
From time to time, the Company may become a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that it considers to be a part of the ordinary course of its business.  The Company is involved currently in two legal proceedings described below that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.  The Company may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.

Viewpoint Securities, LLC Arbitration.  On or about July 9, 2012, the Company and Stan Weiner, the Company’s chief executive officer, received a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. The demand was filed by Viewpoint Securities LLC (“VP”), who entered into that certain engagement agreement, dated March 9, 2008, as amended on March 9, 2008, November 10, 2008, January 1, 2009, February 5, 2010, and December 1, 2010, pursuant to which the Company retained VP to act as its financial and capital markets advisor regarding equity and debt introduced by VP to the Company.  The demand alleges breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealings, negligence prayer for commissions and expenses incurred by VP in its efforts to provide introductions and attempt to provide financing to the Company from March 9, 2008 through February 2, 2012, the date of termination of the Agreement.  VP seeks, among other things, $216,217 and a warrant to purchase 566,667 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company believes that it has valid defenses and intends to contest these claims vigorously.  On August 18, 2012, VP dismissed Stan Weiner from the claim with prejudice.  On February 5, 2013, the Company caused an answer to the complaint to be filed on behalf of the Company, denying the allegations and asserting, among other things, the course of business conduct, lack of FINRA status post termination and recognition of third party entitlement to amounts owed.  The arbitration is now in discovery.

GE Ionics, Inc. Lawsuit. On May 22, 2013, GE Ionics, Inc., d/b/a GE Water & Process Technologies (“GE”) filed a lawsuit against STW in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Index No. 651832/2013 (the “GE Lawsuit”).  STW’s Answer to the GE Lawsuit is not due until 30 days after service.  Although the lawsuit arises out of STW’s obligations to GE under its Settlement Agreement with GE, upon which STW owed GE $2.1 million plus interest, GE has elected to forgo suit on the settlement amount and sue STW for the original debt of $11,239,437, plus interest and attorneys’ fees (the “Original Debt”).  As such, STW is entitled to and shall pursue all of its available legal and equitable defenses to the Original Debt, inasmuch as GE has, among other things, failed to discount the Original Debt sued upon by the amounts that it recovered through re-use and re-sale of the equipment it fabricated for STW. Management has not accrued the original amount of the debt because the probability of recovery is remote.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
Unless otherwise noted, the issuances noted below are all considered exempt from registration by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

During February 2012, the Company issued to certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) revenue participation interest notes with a principal amount of $165,000, which mature on January 31, 2017 and carry an interest rate of 12%. The Investors received warrants to purchase 165,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share which expire two years from the date of issuance. A placement agent was issued 16,500 warrants for services rendered.

On March 20, 2012, pursuant to a debt settlement agreement the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to a note holder who will sell these shares, and the net proceeds will reduce the Company's liability to the note holder. The Company estimated the fair market value of the common stock to be $30,000 on the date of issuance (based on the closing share price on the issuance date) and recorded the amount within prepaid expenses  and other current assets.

On March 23, 2012, the Board of Directors agreed to exchange their accrued compensation for shares of the Company’s common stock. Total compensation expense in the amount of $1,473,900 was converted at a price per share of $0.05, and 29,478,000 shares were issued.
 
On March 23, 2012, the Board authorized the issuance of 425,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its Advisory Board members. The Company estimated the fair market value to be $8,500 based on the closing share price on the date of issuance.

On March 23, 2012, the Company issued 18,750 shares to a consultant. The Company estimated the fair market value to be $375 based on the closing share price on the date of issuance.

In May 2012, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold 1,000,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.375 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”) for aggregate consideration of $50,000. The Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.20. The Company incurred cash fees of $5,000 and issued 150,000 warrants under the same terms.

During 2012, the Company issued to certain accredited investors, new 14% Convertible Notes with a principal amount of $401,000. These notes have the same terms as the 14% Notes issued in 2011. In addition, the investors also received warrants to purchase 3,025,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 and exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The Company also issued 302,500 to the placement agent warrants under the same terms.

On March 29, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to issue 16,950,000 shares of common stock for consulting services received to be performed on behalf of the Company.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following information should be read in conjunction with STW Resources Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries ("we", "us", "our", or the “Company”) consolidated audited financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.    Information in this Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this Form 10-K that does not consist of historical facts, are "forward-looking statements."  Statements accompanied or qualified by, or containing words such as "may," "will," "should," "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "outlook," "forecast," "anticipates," "presume," and "assume" constitute forward-looking statements, and as such, are not a guarantee of future performance.  The statements involve factors, risks and uncertainties including those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section included herein, the impact or occurrence of which can cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results described in such statements.  Risks and uncertainties can include, among others, fluctuations in general business cycles and changing economic conditions; changing product demand and industry capacity; increased competition and pricing pressures; advances in technology that can reduce the demand for the Company's products, as well as other factors, many or all of which may be beyond the Company's control.  Consequently, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as predictive of future results.  The Company disclaims any obligation to update the forward-looking statements in this report, except as otherwise required by law.
 
Overview
 
The Company was formed to utilize state of the art water reclamation technologies to reclaim fresh water from highly contaminated oil and gas hydraulic fracture flow-back salt water that is produced in conjunction with the production of oil and gas.  The Company has been working to establish contracts with oil and gas operators for the deployment of multiple water reclamation systems throughout Texas.  The Company, in conjunction with energy producers, operators, various state agencies and legislators, is working to create an efficient and economical solution to this complex problem.  The Company is also evaluating the deployment of similar technology in the municipal wastewater industry.
 
The Company’s operations are located at 619 W. Texas Ave Ste 126, Midland, TX 79701.
 
On January 17, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with STW Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of STW Resources, Inc. (“STW”) and certain shareholders of STWR controlling a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of STW. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, STW merged into Acquisition Sub resulting in an exchange of all of the issued and outstanding shares of STW for shares of the Company on a one for one basis. At such time, STW became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. 
 
On February 9, 2010, the Court entered an order confirming the Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Plan and the Merger Agreement were approved.   The Plan was effective February 19, 2010 (the “Effective Date”). The principal provisions of the Plan were as follows:
 
MKM, the DIP Lender, received 400,000 shares of common stock and 2,140,000 shares of preferred stock;
the holders of the Convertible Notes received 1,760,000 shares of common stock;
general unsecured claims received 100,000 shares of common stock; and
the Company’s equity interest was extinguished and cancelled.

On February 12, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, STW merged with and into Acquisition Sub, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).  In consideration for the Merger and STW becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company issued an aggregate of 31,780,004 shares of common stock ("the STW Acquisition Shares") to the shareholders of STW at the closing of the merger and all derivative securities of STW as of the Merger became derivative securities of the Company including options and warrants to acquire 12,613,002 shares of common stock at an exercise price ranging from $3.00 to $8.00 with an exercise period ranging from July 31, 2011 through November 12, 2014 and convertible debentures in the principal amount of $1,467,903 with a conversion price of $0.25 and maturity dates ranging from April 24, 2010 through November 12, 2010.

Considering that, following the Merger, the shareholders of the Company control the majority of our outstanding voting common stock of the Company and effectively succeeded our otherwise minimal operations to those that are theirs; the Company is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction.  A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of the Company’s securities for our net monetary assets, which are deminimus, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any goodwill or other intangible assets in connection with this reverse merger transaction.
 
The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to our December 31, 2012 consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and our working capital deficiency at December 31, 2012 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Recent Developments
 
During February 2012, the Company issued to certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) revenue participation interest notes with a principal amount of $165,000 (the “March 2012 Notes”). These March 2012 Notes mature on January 31, 2017 and carry an interest rate of 12%. Principal and interest payments shall come solely from the Investors share of the revenue participation fees from water processing contracts related to brackish and/or produced water. The Investors shall receive 50% of the net revenues from such contracts until such time as they have received 2 times their investment amount, 10% of the net revenues thereafter until such time as they have received an additional $295,000 at which time the March 2012 Notes are retired in full. The Investors received warrants to purchase 165,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $0.20, are immediately exercisable and expire in two years from date of issuance. The Company paid cash financing fees of $16,500 and issued 16,500 warrants under the same terms as those received by the Investors.
 
On March 20, 2012, pursuant to a debt settlement agreement, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to a note holder who will sell these shares, and the net proceeds received by the note holder upon sale will reduce the Company's liability to the note holder.
 
On March 23, 2012, the Board of Directors agreed to exchange their previously accrued compensation of $1,173,900 and 2012 compensation of $300,000 for 29,478,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1,473,900.

On March 23, 2012 the Board of Directors authorized the Company to issue 16,950,000 shares of common stock for consulting services received. Of the 16,950,000 shares of common stock issued, Mr. Stan Weiner, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, was issued 5,000,000, and 10,750,000 were issued to the other consultants. As of the date of the filing of this report, consulting services related to the issuance of 1,200,000 shares have not been performed. The Company is in the process of cancelling such performance agreement and the related shares issued.  The Company determined that the shares estimated fair value to be approximately $786,000 based on the estimated fair value of the share price on the commitment date. The Company will record the estimated fair value to expense for such services as they are performed ratably over the term of the consulting agreements. The consulting agreements mature on various dates through April 2013.
 
On March 23, 2012, the Board authorized the issuance of 425,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its Advisory Board members and an additional 18,750 shares to a consultant.
 
 
In May 2012, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold 1,000,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock par value $0.001 and a warrant to purchase 0.375 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”) for aggregate consideration of $50,000. The Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.20. The Company paid cash financing fees of $5,000 and issued 150,000 warrants under the same terms.

During 2012, the Company issued to certain accredited investors, new 14% Convertible Notes with a principal amount of $401,000. These notes have the same terms as the 14% Notes issued in 2011. In addition, the investors also received warrants to purchase 3,025,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 and exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The Company paid cash financing fees of $40,000 and issued 302,500 warrants under the same terms.

On September 6, 2012, the Company announced that it had signed a contract with Ranchland Hills Golf Club, Midland, TX, to design, build and deliver a proprietary water desalinization facility to produce 700,000 gallons of water a day by converting brackish well water into the equivalent of rain water to maintain the greens and fairways of the golf course.  Under terms of the agreement, STW has received payments to engineer and install customized equipment that adds proprietary technology and chemicals to a desalinization membrane technology to increase the amount of fresh water recovered and lower the cost of operation. In the first quarter of 2013 he Company delivered and installed the equipment related to this contract.

On January 8, 2013, the Company and Black Pearl Energy, LLC, an entity controlled by Stan Weiner and Lee Maddox, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively (“BPE”), entered into an equity exchange agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which BPE transferred 10% of the outstanding membership interests of Black Wolf Enterprises, LLC, (“Black Wolf”) to the Company in exchange for 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares will be issued once the Company amends its articles of incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. The transaction contemplated by the Agreement closed on January 8, 2013.

Between April 30 and June 6, 2013, the Company entered into subscription agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the investors purchased revenue participation interest notes for an aggregate amount of $302,500. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and mature on or before April 30, 2018. The Company has agreed to pay the investors 50% of the net operating revenues (as defined in the Revenue Participation Agreement) from the SWD Sites (as defined in the Revenue Participation Agreement) on a monthly basis until the notes are repaid in full. In connection with the agreement, each investor received a warrant to purchase two (2) shares of common stock for every dollar invested (or 605,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate). The exercise price of the warrants are subject to customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.
 
Effective June 26, 2013, the Company formed STW Energy Services, LLC (the “STW Energy”), a majority owned subsidiary, for the purpose of providing rig washing services in preparation for rig transportation in Western and Southern Texas. STW Energy is owned 75% by the Company and 25% by Crown Financial, LLC (the “Investor”). In connection with the formation of STW Energy, the Investor agreed to loan STW Energy $1,000,000, at 15% interest, and matures June 26, 2016. Interest only payments begin August 1, 2013, and principal and interest payments begin November 1, 2013. The loan is secured by all of STW Energy’s assets and guaranteed by the Company. Further, STW Energy and the Investor entered into an account purchase agreement, whereby the Investor may, at its sole discretion, advance 80% of the face amount of certain STW Energy eligible accounts receivable. Each account receivable acquired is subject to a rebate amount of 18.5%, 17%, 15.5%, and 0% if the Investor collects the full invoice amount within 30, 60, 90, and more than 90 days after the purchase date, respectively. In the event that a receivable remains outstanding beyond the 90 days of the advance, STW Energy is required to repay the advance or replace such receivable with another eligible receivable.

Effective July 1, 2013, Lee Maddox, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, was appointed to the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Maddox will receive the standard board compensation of $75,000 per year, payable in cash or the stock equivalent as determined by the board of directors.

During 2013, the Company formed STW Oilfield Services LLC. There has been no activity since formation.

On July 12, 2013, the state of Nevada approved the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares.
 
Plan of Operations
 
For the next twelve months, our current operating plan is focused on providing water reclamation services to oil and gas producers and other commercial ventures in Texas. Water reclamation services include treating brackish water for use in fracking operations, landscaping and other commercial applications and reclaiming produced water.

As is discussed further in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below, we have limited funds to support our operations. Our continuation as a going concern subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2012 is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing to fund the continued operation of our business model for a long enough period to achieve profitable operations. Based on our current business plan, we currently estimate we will need up to an additional $3 to $5 million of new capital to execute our business plan through the year ending 2013. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available or, if it is available, that we will be able to structure such financing on terms acceptable to us and that it will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements until we can reach a level of profitable operations and positive cash flows. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. We currently have no firm commitments for any additional capital.
 
The downturn in the United States stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our shares of common stock or the debt securities may cause us to be subject to restrictive covenants. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek additional financing. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.
 
Results of Operations
 
Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011
 
Revenues
 
The Company did not generate revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.  

Operating Expenses
 
Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $1,935,027 and consisted of general and administrative of $215,175, salaries and benefits of $285,850, professional fees of $194,127, board compensation of $543,500 and compensation for shares issued to consultants of $696,375.

Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $1,951,797 and consisted of general and administrative of $147,901, salaries and benefits $11,317, professional fees of $544,429, board compensation $1,196,150, and share-based compensation expense  to consultants of $52,000.
 
The increase of general and administrative is due to business development expenses.

The increase of salaries and benefits, and decrease in professional fees, is due to independent contractors becoming employees in 2012.

The decrease in board compensation is due to the number of shares issued to the board of directors.

The increase in share-based compensation to consultants is due to an increase in the services received from consultants and the share price.
 
Other Income / Expense
 
For the year ended December 31, 2012, we had a mark to market expense adjustment on derivative liabilities of $990,751, mark to market expense adjustment on shares of common stock issued to note holder of $19,587 and interest expense of $655,371. The mark to market adjustment on derivative liabilities is due to the increase in fair value of the underlying common stock. The increase in mark to market expense adjustment on common stock to note holder is due to the fair value of the underlying common stock. Interest expense increased due to additional borrowings in the current year and an increase in interest rate on previous outstanding debt.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we had a loss on extinguishment of liabilities, net of $823,573, loss on disposition of assets of $60,749, interest expense of $572,421 and change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $606,293.  The loss on extinguishment of liabilities in 2011 was primarily due to the modification of the GE Note.

 
-21-

 
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $3,598,684 and $2,819,743, respectively. The reason for the increase in the year ended December 31, 2012 to the corresponding period for 2011 was mainly due to increase in mark to market valuation of derivative liabilities, share based compensation for consulting services and an increase in operating expenses due to an increase in advisory and board fees in the current period.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2012, we had current assets of $201,014, including cash of $59,870, and current liabilities of $8,820,037.  As of December 31, 2011, we had current assets of $34,007, including cash of $7,178, and current liabilities of $5,500,199.
 
Operating Activities
 
Our operating activities resulted in net cash used in operations of $451,817 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to net cash used in operations of $359,509 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The net cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 reflects a net loss of $3,598,684 offset by amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $44,675, change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $990,751, share based compensation of $1,004,875 change in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1,343, accounts payables and other accrued expenses of $988,290, and deferred revenue of $97,346.  

 The net cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 reflects a net loss of $2,819,743 offset by depreciation of $3,962, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $185,970, change in fair value of derivative instruments of $(606,293), accounts payables and other accrued expenses of $1,882,396 and other minor factors.    The reason for the increase in comparing the year ended December 31, 2012 to the same period for 2011 was due to the fact that the Company refocused operations on water reclamation opportunities in Texas and consulting service fees.
 
Investing Activities
 
Our investing activities did not generate any cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
 
Financing Activities
 
Our financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $504,500 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $360,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, which represents issuances of notes payable, convertible notes payable and cash for common shares net of issuance costs.
 
Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company, since inception, has not had any significant revenues or significant operating history and has an deficit accumulated during the development stage of $17,322,388 at December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had a net loss of approximately $3,599,000 and cash used in operating activities of approximately $452,000. The Company had a working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficit of approximately $8,619,000 and $9,158,000, respectively, at December 31, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from third parties to sustain its current level of operations. The Company is in the process of securing working capital from investors for common stock, convertible notes payable, and/or strategic partnerships.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts and there can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

 
-22-

 
 
In the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the Company may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy.  To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.

Presently, due to the lack of revenue we are not able to meet our operating and capital expenses. The success of our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon successful permitting of our sites obtaining customers for water reclamation services, and maintaining a break even or profitable level of operations. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely to continue through the fourth quarter of 2013.  

The financial requirements of our Company will be dependent upon the financial support through credit facilities and additional sales of our equity securities. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available or, if it is available, that we will be able to structure such financing on terms acceptable to us and that it will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements until we can reach a level of profitable operations and positive cash flows. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. We currently have no firm commitments for any additional capital.
 
The downturn in the United States stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our shares of common stock or the debt securities may cause us to be subject to restrictive covenants. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek additional financing. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our 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.

Warrants
 
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had 32,407,434 warrants outstanding to acquire the Company’s common stock.  
 
Credit Facility
 
Presently we have no revolving credit facility established.  If needed, it will be necessary to establish a line of credit and it will need to be on favorable terms.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this Annual Report, are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report. Included within these policies are our “critical accounting policies.” Critical accounting policies are those policies that are most important to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and require management’s most subjective and complex judgments due to the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results of operations and/or financial condition.
 
We believe that the critical accounting policies that most impact the consolidated financial statements are as described below.
 
Beneficial Conversion Features and Debt Discounts

If a conversion feature of conventional convertible debt is not accounted for as a derivative instrument and provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount. The convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest rate method.

Derivative Liabilities
 
Certain of the Company’s embedded conversion features on debt and issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants, which have exercise price reset features, are treated as derivatives for accounting purposes. Our derivative liabilities consist of price protection features for embedded conversion features on debt, price protection features on warrants and derivative liabilities due to insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts which are carried at fair value, and are classified as Level 3 liabilities. The common stock purchase warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised, expire or the related rights have been waived. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, the Company estimates the fair value of these warrants and embedded conversion features using Black-Scholes.

 
-24-

 
 
Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
 
Issuances of the Company’s common stock for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates.
  
Income taxes
 
The Company follows ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes for recording the provision for income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled.  Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period.  If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.  Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.  Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate.  Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
 
The Company implemented the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC Topic 740 ,which is intended to clarify the accounting for income taxes prescribing a minimum recognition threshold for a tax provision before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. This guidance also provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  As a result, the Company has concluded that it does not have any unrecognized tax benefits or any additional tax liabilities after applying this guidance.  The adoption of this guidance therefore had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
On January 17, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with STW Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, STW Resources, Inc. (“Acquiree”) and certain shareholders of Acquiree controlling a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of STW.  On February 12, 2010, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Acquiree merged into the Acquisition Sub resulting in an exchange of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Acquiree for shares of the Company on a one for one basis (the “Reverse Merger”). As a result of the Reverse Merger, Acquiree is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the former shareholders of STW now hold a majority of the outstanding stock of the Company.

 
-25-

 
 
At the time of the Reverse Merger, Weaver & Tidwell L.L.P. (the “Weaver Tidwell”) was the independent auditor of record for Acquiree. Accordingly, on February 12, 2010 (the “Engagement Date”), by reason of the Reverse Merger, Weaver Tidwell became the principal independent accountant for the Company.  Therefore, on April 2, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed Weaver & Martin LLC (the “Former Auditor”) from its position as the principal independent accountant for the Company.  
 
On April 2, 2010 (the “Dismissal Date”), the Company advised the Former Auditor that it was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  The decision to dismiss the Former Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 2, 2010.  Except as noted in the paragraph immediately below, the reports of the Former Auditor on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.
 
The reports of the Former Auditor on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company had recurring losses from operations.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and through the Dismissal Date, the Company has not had any disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Former Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and through the Dismissal Date, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
The Company has requested that Former Auditor furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of this letter is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 16.1.
 
As explained above, on the Engagement Date, Weaver Tidwell assumed the position of the principal independent accountant for the Company.  During the 2010, 2009 and 2008 fiscal years and through the Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with Weaver Tidwell regarding either:
 
1.
application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that Weaver Tidwell concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
2.
any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions) or reportable event (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
 
On January 25, 2012, the Company was notified that its principal independent accountant, Weaver Tidwell, had resigned as the independent auditors for the Company and its subsidiaries, effective immediately.

Weaver Tidwell’s reports on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 contained an explanatory paragraph indicating that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Other than such statement, no reports of Weaver Tidwell on the financial statements of the Company for either of the past two years and through January 25, 2012 contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Company’s 2010 and 2009 fiscal years and through January 25, 2012: (i) there have been no disagreements with Weaver Tidwell on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Weaver Tidwell, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and (ii) Weaver Tidwell did not advise the Company of any of the events requiring reporting in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K.
 
The Company provided to Weaver Tidwell the disclosure contained herein and requested Weaver Tidwell to furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of such letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.2.
 
On April 4, 2012, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors authorized the engagement of KMJ Corbin & Company LLP ("KMJ"), a California CPA firm, with offices at 555 Anton Blvd, Suite 1000, Costa Mesa, CA, as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the 2012 and 2011 fiscal years.  The decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by the Company's Board of Directors, effective March 30, 2012.  During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the subsequent interim period through April 4, 2012, KMJ has not been engaged as independent accountants to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company, nor has it been consulted regarding the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or reportable event as defined in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.  

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 
 
We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012, the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses discussed below.
 
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of us;
 
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures of are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
 
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 
-27-

 
 
Because of our inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.
 
The Company restated its consolidated financial statements and other financial information for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the quarters ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009, September 30, 2009, March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010, September 30, 2010, March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, as a result of the Company’s determination that the original accounting for certain of its unit and convertible note offerings failed to appropriately record separate derivative treatment for the conversion option and the warrants issued. See the restated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2012 for more information.

In connection with the restatement our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer considered the effect of the error on the adequacy of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 5), or combination of control deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following six material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

1.  
We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and had concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
 
2.  
We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
 
3.  
We had not effectively implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls.
 
4.  
We did not have a sufficient complement of personnel with appropriate training and experience in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP.
 
5.  
We did not implement financial controls that were properly designed to meet the control objectives or address all risks of the processes or the applicable assertions of the significant accounts.

6.  
Due to material weaknesses identified at our entity level controls we did not test whether our financial activity level controls or our information technology general controls were operating sufficiently to identify a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that may result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
 
-28-

 
 
Remediation of Material Weaknesses.  While management believes that the Company’s financial statements previously filed in the Company’s SEC reports have been properly recorded and disclosed in accordance with US  GAAP, based on the control deficiencies identified above, we have designed and plan to implement, or in some cases have already implemented, the specific remediation initiatives described below:
 
We are in the process of further enhancing our internal finance and accounting organizational structure, which includes hiring additional resources.
 
We are in the process of further enhancing the supervisory procedures to include additional levels of analysis and quality control reviews within the accounting and financial reporting functions.
 
We are in the process of strengthening our internal policies and enhancing our processes for ensuring consistent treatment and recording of reserve estimates and that validation of our conclusions regarding significant accounting policies and their application to our business transactions are carried out by personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training.
 
We do not expect to have fully remediated these material weaknesses until management has tested those internal controls and found them to have been remediated. We expect to complete this process during our annual testing for fiscal 2013.
 
Management has reviewed the consolidated financial statements and underlying information included herein in detail and believes the procedures performed are adequate to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in all material respects.
 
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to such attestation pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
No changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting have come to management's attention during the Company's last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of STW Resources Holding Corp.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of STW Resources Holding Corp. (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  We did not audit the cumulative data of the Company for the period from January 28, 2008 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010 in the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit on its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 STW Resources Holding Corp. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As more fully described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and has had negative cash flows from operations, and at December 31, 2012, has a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $(17,322,388).  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

STW RESOURCES HOLDING CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from January 28, 2008 (Inception) through December 31, 2012
 
1.  Organization, Nature of Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
STW Resources Holding Corp., (“STW” or the “Company”, f/k/a Woozyfly Inc. and STW Global Inc.) is a development stage corporation that was formed to utilize  state of the art water reclamation technologies to reclaim fresh water from highly contaminated oil and gas hydraulic fracture flow-back salt water that is produced in conjunction with the production of oil and gas.  STW has been working to establish contracts with oil and gas operators for the deployment of multiple water reclamation systems throughout Texas.  STW, in conjunction with energy producers, operators, various state agencies and legislators, is working to create an efficient and economical solution to this complex problem.  The Company is also evaluating the deployment of similar technology in the municipal wastewater industry.
 
The Company’s operations are located in the United States of America and the principal executive offices are located at 619 W. Texas Ave. Ste. 126, Midland, TX 79701.
 
On January 17, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with STW Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of STW Resources, Inc. (“STWR”) and certain shareholders of STWR controlling a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of STWR.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, STWR merged into the Acquisition Sub resulting in an exchange of all of the issued and outstanding shares of STWR for shares of the Company on a one for one basis. At such time, STW became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  
 
On February 9, 2010, the Court entered an order confirming the Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Plan and the Merger Agreement were approved.   The Plan was effective February 19, 2010 (the “Effective Date”). The principal provisions of the Plan were as follows:
 
MKM, the DIP Lender, received 400,000 shares of common stock (unaudited) and 2,140,000 shares of preferred stock (unaudited);
the holders of the convertible notes received 1,760,000 shares of common stock (unaudited);
general unsecured claims received 100,000 shares of common stock (unaudited); and
the Company’s equity interest was extinguished and cancelled.
 
On February 12, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, STWR merged with and into Acquisition Sub, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).  In consideration for the Merger and STWR becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company issued an aggregate of 31,780,004 (the “STW Acquisition Shares”) shares of common stock (unaudited) to the shareholders of STWR at the closing of the Merger and all derivative securities of STWR as of the Merger became derivative securities of the Company including options and warrants to acquire 12,613,002 shares of common stock (unaudited) at an exercise price ranging from $3.00 to $8.00 with an exercise period ranging from July 31, 2011 through November 12, 2014 and convertible debentures in the principal amount of $1,467,903 (unaudited) with a conversion price of $0.25 and maturity dates ranging from April 24, 2010 through November 12, 2010.
 
The par value of the exchanged shares changed from $0.00001 to $0.001.  All share amounts presented throughout this document reflect this change in par value.

Considering that, following the Merger, the shareholders of the Company control the majority of our outstanding voting common stock and effectively succeeded our otherwise minimal operations to those that are theirs, the Company is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction.  A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of the Company’s securities for our net monetary assets, which are deminimus, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any goodwill or other intangible assets in connection with this reverse merger transaction.

 
F-7

 
 
Effective March 1, 2010, Woozyfly, Inc. changed its name to STW Global, Inc. in accordance with the Bankruptcy proceeding.   On March 3, 2010, the Company changed its name to STW Resources Holding Corp.  The name change was accomplished by merging a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into the Company resulting in the Company being the surviving Company and changing the name of the Company.
 
STW Resources Holding Corp. is the surviving and continuing entity and the historical financial statements following the reverse merger transaction are those of STW.   WoozyFly was a "shell company" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately prior to its acquisition of STW pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.  Consequently, management believes that the acquisition has caused the Company to cease to be a shell company as it no longer has nominal operations.
 
Going Concern
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company, since inception, has not had any significant revenues or significant operating history and has a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $17,322,388 at December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had a net loss of approximately $3,599,000 and cash used in operating activities of approximately $452,000. The Company had a working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficit of approximately $8,619,000 and $9,158,000, respectively, at December 31, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from third parties to sustain its current level of operations. The Company is in the process of securing working capital from investors for common stock, convertible notes payable, and/or strategic partnerships.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts and there can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S”) (“GAAP”).   Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods presented to conform to the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation
 
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, STW Resources, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
Subsequent Events
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-K, and determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes hereto other than as disclosed in the accompanying notes.

Development Stage Enterprise

The Company is a development stage company as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business, and its planned principal operations have not yet commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.  The period from January 28, 2008 (inception) through December 31, 2010 is unaudited.

 
F-8

 
 
These consolidated financial statements contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a development stage enterprise and has sustained significant losses since inception and expects to continue to incur losses through 2013.

Revenue Recognition

The Company will recognize revenues in accordance with FASB guidance, which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) will be based on management’s 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 will defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or for which services have not been rendered or are subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or services have been rendered or no refund will be required.

At times, we may enter into contracts where we will be acting as the broker on the sale of certain equipment. We will recognize revenue on these contracts on a net basis as we will not take ownership of the equipment, we will not provide any warranty on the equipment and we will not be responsible for installation, repair or maintenance.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company’s significant estimates include the valuation of deferred tax assets and the valuation of derivative liabilities, conversion options, and share-based transactions.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
A financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company places its cash with financial institutions deemed by management to be of high credit quality. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) provides basic deposit coverage with limits to $250,000 per owner. In addition to the basic insurance deposit coverage, the FDIC is providing temporary unlimited coverage for non-interest-bearing transaction accounts from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, there were no uninsured deposits.
 
The Company anticipates entering into long-term, fixed-price contracts for its services with select oil and gas producers and municipal utilities.  The Company will control credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.
 
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, three vendors accounted for 78% and 77% of total accounts payable, respectively.

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.
 
Expenditures for major additions or improvements, which extend the useful lives of assets, are capitalized.  Minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.  Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations.

 
F-9

 
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, which requires that long-lived assets held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  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 undiscounted cash flows.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we do not believe there has been any impairment of our long-lived assets.  There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our products will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, notes payable, convertible notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and derivative liabilities. The carrying value for all such instruments except convertible notes payable and derivative liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.  The Company cannot determine the estimated fair value of its convertible notes payable as instruments similar to the convertible notes payable could not be found.  Our derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value (see Note 6).

We determine the fair value of our financial instruments based on a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements under which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities. Currently, we do not have any items classified as Level 1.

Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Currently, we do not have any items classified as Level 2.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and involve management judgment. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) to determine the fair value of the financial instruments.

If the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, a financial security’s hierarchy level is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Our derivative liabilities consist of price protection features for embedded conversion features on debt, price protection features on warrants and derivative liabilities due to insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts which are carried at fair value, and are classified as Level 3 liabilities. We use Black-Scholes to determine the fair value of these instruments (see Note 6).
 
Beneficial Conversion Features and Debt Discounts

If a conversion feature of conventional convertible debt is not accounted for as a derivative instrument and provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount. The convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest rate method.

 
F-10

 
 
Accounting for Derivatives Liabilities

The Company evaluates stock options, stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

Certain of the Company’s embedded conversion features on debt, price protection features on outstanding common stock purchase warrants, and derivative liabilities due to insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts are treated as derivatives for accounting purposes. The common stock purchase warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised, expire or the related rights have been waived. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market. The Company estimates the fair value of these warrants and embedded conversion features and derivative liabilities due to insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts using Black-Scholes (see Note 6).

Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation.
 
There were no grants of employee options during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
 
Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
 
Issuances of the Company’s common stock for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates (see Note 7).
  
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
 
The Company’s basic loss per share (“EPS”) amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method and as-if-converted method for convertible debt, which could occur if all potentially dilutive securities were exercised. As the Company realized a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, no potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. See Note 7 for a list of all dilutive securities as of December 31, 2012.

Segment Reporting
 
The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled.  Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period.  If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.  Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.  Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate.  Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
 
ASC Topic 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements, provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more likely than not recognition threshold.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there was no unrecognized tax benefits included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rates. It is not anticipated that there will be a significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on its consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and has not recognized interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

New Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these consolidated financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these consolidated financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to December 31, 2012 through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.
 
2.  Property and Equipment
 
The Company recognized total depreciation expense of $0 and $3,962 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Property and equipment consists of computer equipment, vehicles and furniture and fixtures which carry useful lives ranging from three to five years.

3.  Joint Ventures and Acquisitions

On August 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Aqua Verde, LLC (“AV”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, STW and AV agreed to collectively work together through the joint venture to procure water reclamation contracts with natural gas drilling companies in the states of Colorado and Texas. In addition, AV would assign all of its existing master services agreements and master services contracts to the joint venture.  The joint venture was to be named Water Reclamation Partners, LLC, and owned 51% by the Company and 49% by AV, with the Company having exclusive control and management of the business of the joint venture.  The term of the JV Agreement was one year, unless extended by mutual agreement.  During the term, there were no operations within the joint venture, and AV had not contributed the master services contracts to the joint venture, and the JV Agreement expired. There was no impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a result of this transaction. The related joint venture was terminated with no operations being performed within the joint venture.
 
4.  Deferred Revenue

On September 6, 2012, the Company announced that it had signed a contract with Ranchland Hills Golf Club, Midland, TX, to design, build and deliver a proprietary water desalinization facility to produce 700,000 gallons of water a day by converting brackish well water into the equivalent of rain water to maintain the greens and fairways of the golf course. STW has recognized as deferred revenue a payment of $534,000 to engineer and install customized equipment that adds proprietary technology and chemicals to a desalinization membrane technology to increase the amount of fresh water recovered and lower the cost of operation, and a payment of $436,654 related to the equipment and installation needed to complete the contract, for a net of $97,346. The Company completed its obligations under the contract in the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Pursuant to the contract, the Company accrued sales commissions in the amount of $49,500 in accrued consulting fees - officers in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012.

14% Convertible Notes
 
In November 2011, the Company commenced an offer to exchange the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the 12% Convertible Notes (as defined below) with new 14% Convertible Notes (the “2011 14% Convertible Notes”).  The holders of the 12% Convertible Notes were also offered an opportunity to purchase additional 2011 14% Convertible Notes for cash. Each 2011 14% Convertible Note is convertible, at any time at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial conversion price of $0.08 per share (the “14% Note Conversion Price”).   The 2011 14% Convertible Notes bear interest at 14% per annum (6% cash interest and 8% paid-in-kind “PIK” interest) and mature 24 months from the date of issuance.  Warrants associated with the 12% Convertible Notes (the “12% Warrants”) were exchanged for new warrants to purchase three times the number of common shares of the Company that could be purchased with the 12% Warrants.  The new warrants are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.20 per share.  
 
On November 30, 2011, principal of $1,657,903 and accrued interest of $458,332 related to the 12% Convertible Notes were exchanged for new 14% Convertible Notes.  In connection with this transaction, the derivative liability associated with the conversion feature of the 12% Convertible Notes and warrants exchanged were written off and a gain of $21,587 was recognized and is included in loss on extinguishment of liabilities, net. Through December 31, 2011, the Company had issued a total of $2,481,235 face value of its 14% Convertible Notes in exchange for $235,000 cash, $1,657,903 of principal of the 12% Convertible Notes, $125,000 of short-term notes payable (see “Other Financings”), $463,332 of accrued interest and other expenses, of which $5,000 has been classified as a loss on extinguishment of liabilities, net.
 
The conversion features of the 2011 14% Convertible Notes and the associated warrants were not subject to any anti-dilution adjustments.  The Company calculated the relative fair value of the warrants and recorded a debt discount of $63,005 (calculated using Black-Scholes with a volatility of 100%, a risk-free interest rate of 0.25% and 0% dividend yield). The debt discount will be amortized over the life of the notes.

Between June 2012 and September 2012, the Company issued to certain accredited investors, new 14% Convertible Notes with a principal amount of $201,000. These notes have the same terms as the 2011 14% Convertible Notes. In addition, the investors also received warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 and exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The Company incurred cash fees of $20,000 (which is recorded as loan origination fee and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the note) and issued 50,000 warrants under the same terms as the 14% convertible notes warrants.

The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following variables: annual dividend yield of 0%; expected life of 2 years; risk free rate of return of 0.33%; expected volatility of 100%. As the value of the warrants was not significant, the Company did not allocate any portion of the debt proceeds to the warrants, however, the warrants and embedded conversion option are included in the derivative liabilities account each reporting period as the Company has insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts (see Note 6).

On November 27, 2012, STW entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with three accredited investors (each an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”), providing for the sale by the Company to the Investors of a 14% convertible note (each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000. The Notes mature on the second anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum, of which 6% shall be paid in cash semi-annually in arrears and the remaining 8% shall accrue until the Maturity Date. The Investors may convert, at any time, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) at a conversion price equal to $0.08 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Price”).

In connection with the purchase of the Notes, the Investors received  warrants to purchase 2,525,000 shares of common stock of the Company (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.20 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Exercise Price”).

A FINRA registered broker-dealer was engaged as placement agent in connection with the private placement. We paid the placement agent a cash fee in the amount of $20,000 (representing a 10% sales commission) and issued the placement agent a warrant to purchase 252,500 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.20 per share.

The Conversion Price and the Exercise Price are subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, and recapitalizations.

The Company valued the warrants and the embedded conversion feature at inception using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following variables: annual dividend yield of 0%; expected life of 2 years; risk free rate of return of 0.17%; expected volatility of 100%. The estimated fair value of the warrants were $18,651 and the embedded conversion feature was $35,546 at issuance and was recorded as a derivative liability at such time in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The warrants and embedded conversion feature are included in the derivative liabilities account each reporting period as the Company has insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts (see Note 6).

Other Financings

On March 17, 2011, the Company issued a 10% promissory note payable to an unaccredited investor for $75,000.  The note matured 90 days after issuance, but continued to accrue interest at 10% per annum.
 
On May 11, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note payable to an unaccredited investor for $50,000.  The note matured in 60 days and the Company was charged interest of $600 and financing fees of $4,400 during the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
All of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the March 17, 2011 and May 11, 2011 notes were exchanged for 2011 14% Convertible Notes as described above.

12% Convertible Notes
 
In April 2009, the Company commenced an offering of its 12% Convertible Notes (the “2009 12% Convertible Notes”).  Each 2009 12% Convertible Note is convertible, at any time at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share (the “Conversion Price”).   The 2009 12% Convertible Notes bear interest at 12% per annum and mature 12 months from the date of issuance.  For each 2009 12% Convertible Note purchased, each investor received a warrant  to purchase up to such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to one-half of the face amount of the 2009 12% Convertible Note divided by the Conversion Price.  The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.  Through December 31, 2009, the Company had issued a total of $740,000 (unaudited) face value of its 12% Convertible Notes for cash.
 
In connection with the issuance of the 2009 12% Convertible Notes, the Company had issued 2,935,805 warrants (unaudited) to acquire the Company’s common stock to investors and an additional 352,296 warrants (unadited) to acquire the Company’s common stock to the placement agent.
 
The conversion price of the 2009 12% Convertible Notes and the exercise price of the warrants issued in connection with the 2009 12% Convertible Notes, except those warrants issued to the placement agent, are subject to adjustment pursuant to anti-dilution provisions and are considered to be derivative instruments and accounted for as such (see Note 6).
 
The warrants issued to the agent were recorded as a deferred financing cost which was amortized over the term of the note and valued at $31,670 (unaudited) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following variables: volatility of 100%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.5% and 0% dividend yield.
 
In April 2009, the holders of a CEO bridge note, January 2009 bridge notes, a January 14, 2009 bridge note and a March 2009 bridge note agreed to convert the $700,000 (unaudited) total of their outstanding notes, plus accrued interest of $12,903 (unaudited) and deferred fees of $15,000 (unaudited), into the 2009 12% Convertible Notes.
 
These notes were scheduled to mature at various dates during the year ended December 31, 2010.  In 2010, the Company received extensions of the maturity dates for these notes and granted an additional 1,389,152 warrants (unaudited) in consideration for these extensions. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.  These warrants had the same derivative features as the initial warrants, and as such, the Company determined the fair value of the warrants at $92,335 (unaudited) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following variables: volatility of 100%, a risk-free rate of 1.27% - 1.79%, and 0% dividend yield. The fair value of the warrants was recorded as a debt discount that was amortized over the life of the note.

On November 30, 2011, principal and accrued interest of $1,277,903 on the 2009 12% Convertible Notes were exchanged for new 14% convertible notes (see 2011 14% Convertible Notes above). At December 31, 2012, outstanding 2009 12% Convertible Notes amounted to $90,000. These notes are due on demand, the notes are in default, and are thus classified as current. The conversion features in these notes as well as the associated warrants continue to be subject to adjustment pursuant to anti-dilution provisions and are considered derivative instruments (see Note 6).

In January 2010, the Company commenced an offering of its 12% Convertible Notes (the “2010 12% Convertible Notes”).  Each 2010 12% Convertible Note is convertible, at any time at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share (the “Conversion Price”).   The 2010 12% Convertible Notes bear interest at 12% per annum and mature 12 months from the date of issuance.  For each 2010 12% Convertible Note purchased, each investor received a warrant  to purchase up to such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to one-half of the face amount of the 2010 12% Convertible Note divided by the Conversion Price.  The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.  Through December 31, 2010, the Company had issued a total of $705,000 (unaudited) face value of its 2010 12% Convertible Notes for cash.
 
In connection with the issuance of the 2010 12% Convertible Notes, the Company had issued 1,410,000 warrants (unaudited) to acquire the Company’s common stock to investors and an additional 169,200 warrants (unaudited) to acquire the Company’s common stock to the agent, all on the terms set forth above, except as described below.

 
F-16

 
 
The conversion price of the 2010 12% Convertible Notes and the exercise price of the warrants issued in connection with the 2010 12% Convertible Notes, except those warrants issued to the placement agent, are subject to adjustment pursuant to anti-dilution provisions and are considered to be derivative instruments and accounted for as such (see Note 6).
 
The warrants issued to the agent were valued using Black-Scholes, with a volatility of 100%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.15% and 0% dividend yield, and were determined to have a fair value of $10,701 (unaudited), and recorded as a deferred financing cost which was amortized over the term of the note to interest expense.

The 2010 12% Convertible Notes were originally scheduled to mature at various dates in 2011.  During 2010 (unaudited), the Company received six month extensions for certain of these notes in advance of the scheduled maturity dates and granted an additional 112,500 warrants (unaudited)in consideration for the extensions on these notes.  These warrants had the same derivative features as the initial warrants, and as such, the Company calculated the full fair value of the warrants and recorded a debt discount that is amortized over the life of the note. Using Black-Scholes, with a volatility of 100%, a risk-free rate of 1.27% and 0% dividend yield, these extensions warrants were determined to have a fair value of $13,025 (unaudited).
 
On November 30, 2011, principal of $380,000 and related accrued interest on the 2010 12% Convertible Notes were exchanged for new 14% convertible notes (see 2011 14% Convertible Note above). At December 31, 2012, outstanding 2010 12% Convertible Notes amounted to $325,000. These notes are due on demand, the notes are in default, and are thus classified as current. The conversion features in these notes as well as the associated warrants continue to be subject to adjustment pursuant to anti-dilution provisions and are considered derivative instruments (see Note 6).

During 2012, the Company issued certain equity instruments at $0.02 per share. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the outstanding 12% Convertible Notes, the conversion price was reduced to $0.02.

On March 2, 2012, two of the 2010 12% Convertible Note holders with a combined principal balance of $50,000 informed the Company that it is in default and demanded repayment.  As a result of the notice of default, as of the date hereof, the notes immediately became due and payable.  On December 7, 2012, the Company and the note holders agreed that beginning December 1, 2012, the Company would make a monthly payment of $350 to each investor, provided that either party will have the right to terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ notice.  While the Company is currently working with the note holders to honor its obligations, however, there can be no assurance that any such arrangements will ever materialize or be permissible or sufficient to cover any or all of the obligations.
 
Other Short-Term Debt

On September 1, 2011, the Company entered into a note modification with TCA Global Credit Master Fund LP (“TCA”), a holder of $100,000 of the 2010 12% Convertible Notes. The agreement called for a $45,000 extension fee, plus $15,900 of accrued interest, and resulted in total consideration payable to the holder of $160,900 that bears interest at 12% per annum on the original principal amount of $100,000.The agreement called for the Company to issue 2,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock to TCA who would sell these shares for which the proceeds would be used to reduce principal and interest balance of the note. The Company had the right to settle the $160,900 liability in cash at any time and reclaim any remaining Shares provided to TCA. The modified note did not have a conversion feature. The Company was required to issue additional shares of its common stock to TCA because the proceeds from the initial stock sale were insufficient to repay the $160,900 note liability plus accrued interest payable. The Company accounted for this transaction by recording a current liability of $160,900 and recognizing $45,000 as a loss on extinguishment of liabilities, net since the conversion feature was removed. The fair value of the common shares not sold by TCA was revalued at the end of each reporting period based upon the then fair market price and any changes were recognized as income or expense in change in fair value of common shares issued to note holder in other income (expense), net.  As of December 31, 2011, TCA had not notified the Company of any shares sold, thus the liability to TCA was $164,693 (including interest accrued from September 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 of $3,793) and the fair value of the common shares unsold by TCA was $20,000, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

 
F-17

 
 
During 2012, TCA sold the 2,000,000 shares held at December 31, 2011 for cash consideration in the amount of $11,787, which was recorded as a reduction of the note amount owed and recorded a loss of $8,213 related to the change in fair value of the 2,000,000 shares in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company issued TCA an additional 3,000,000 shares (see Note 7) during 2012 to be used to pay off the note balance when such shares are sold. In August 2012, TCA sold the 3,000,000 shares for cash consideration in the amount of $18,626 which the Company recorded as a reduction of the note amount owed and recorded a loss of $11,374 in the current year under change in fair value of common shares issued to note holder in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As a result, the Company recgonzied a total reduction in the debt amount owed of $30,413 and a loss on mark to market adjustment of $19,587. On August 19, 2012, TCA informed the Company that it is in default and demanded repayment of the amount owed. On October 16, 2012, the Company and TCA entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay as follows: (i) $15,000 to be paid on October 18, 2012, (ii) $15,000 to be paid on or before November 1, 2012, (iii) five (5) equal installments of $20,000 to be paid beginning on December 1, 2012 and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter, (iv) $4,280 in principal and $9,068 of interest to be paid on or prior to May 1, 2013 and (v) $3,000 for legal fees to be paid on May 1, 2013.  Under the settlement agreement, if STW is late on any installment, it has ten days after notice from TCA to make a cure payment.  As of December 3,1 2012, all payments under the settlement agreement have been timely made under the regular payment date or within the allowed cure period. During 2013, the Company has not made all of its required payments and is in default.

Revenue Participation Notes
 
During February 2012, the Company issued to certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) revenue participation interest notes with a principal amount of $165,000 (the “March 2012 Notes”). These March 2012 Notes mature on January 31, 2017 and carry an interest rate of 12%. Principal and interest payments shall come solely from the Investors share of the revenue participation fees from water processing contracts related to brackish and/or produced water. The Investors shall receive 50% of the net revenues from such contracts until such time as they have received two times their investment amount and 10% of the net revenues thereafter until such time as they have received an additional $295,000 at which time the March 2012 Notes are retired in full. The Investors received warrants to purchase 165,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $0.20, are immediately exercisable and a two year maturity. The Company incurred cash fees of $16,500 which is recorded as a loan origination fee and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized to interest expense, and issued 16,500 warrants under the same terms as those received by the Investors. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has not generated revenue related to these revenue participating notes.
 
The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following variables: annual dividend yield of 0%; expected life of 2 years; risk free rate of return of 0.33%; expected volatility of 100%. As the value of the warrants was not significant, the Company did not allocate any portion of the debt proceeds to the warrants, however, the warrants are included in the derivative liability account each reporting period as the Company has insufficient authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts (see Note 6).
  
GE Ionics Settlement Agreement

On or about May 22, 2008, STWR entered into a Teaming Agreement, as amended, with GE Ionics, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“GE”) (STWR and GE are collectively referred to as the “Parties”). On or about April 4, 2008 STWR and GE entered into a Purchase Order (the “Purchase Order”), pursuant to which there was due and unpaid a debt by STWR to GE in the amount of $11,239,437 (unaudited) as of August 31 2010 (the “Original Debt”).

 
F-18

 
 
On August 31, 2010, the Parties entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “GE Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which GE permitted the Company to substitute for STWR as to all rights and obligations under the Purchase Order (including the Original Debt) and Teaming Agreement, and such that to fully discharge STW financial obligations to GE under the Purchase Order, the Company shall pay GE $1,400,000 (unaudited) pursuant to a senior promissory note (the “GE Note”). The GE Note bore interest at a rate of the WSJ Prime Rate (as published daily in the Wall Street Journal) plus two percent (2%) per annum. Under the terms of the GE Note, the Company had thirteen (13) months to pay off the GE Note plus all accrued interest.  In addition, upon the consummation and closing of a debt or equity financing following the execution of the GE Note, the Company shall pay GE thirty percent (30%) of any and all tranches (“Tranches” being defined as the cash receipts of the proceeds of any equity investments in or loans to the Company or any affiliated entity by third parties, but excluding any conversions of pre-existing debt to equity by any of the Company’s then current convertible note holders or creditors) until the GE Note is paid in full, including all accrued interest.  On September 29, 2011, the Parties agreed to extend the maturity date of the GE Note from September 30, 2011 to October 30, 2011.

On October 30, 2011, the Parties entered into an amendment to the GE Settlement Agreement, effective October 1, 2011, pursuant to which, among other things, the Parties agreed as follows: (i) the Company will have until September 1, 2013 to pay GE $2,100,000 plus interest accrued after October 1, 2011 under the GE Note in accordance with its terms, (ii) upon the consummation and closing of a debt or equity financing following the execution of the GE Note, the Company shall pay GE thirty percent (30%) of any and all tranches (“Tranches” being defined as the cash receipts of the proceeds of any equity investments in or loans to the Company or any affiliated entity by third parties, but excluding any conversions of pre-existing debt to equity by any of the Company’s then current convertible note holders or creditors) until the GE Note is paid in full, including all accrued interest, provided the Company shall not be obligated to pay GE upon, among other things, the following: (a) short term commercial paper of $200,000 or less, up to a cumulative maximum of $500,000 through December 31, 2012, (b) commercial equipment leasing whereby GE is taking a secured interest in the purchased equipment, (c) proceeds from project, lease and equipment funding to any subsidiary of the Company provided the Company does not receive any proceeds of such funding and (d) a one-time general exception for $1,500,000 of new equity financing of the Company, (iii) the Company shall begin making a regular series of installment payments as follows: (a) $10,000 per month beginning on January 1, 2012, and (b) $15,000 per month beginning on June 1, 2012 through the maturity date of the GE Note and (iv) the Company shall be able to prepay the GE Note, without interest, on or before the maturity date.

On May 7, 2012, GE informed the Company that it had failed to make any required installment payment that was due and payable under the GE Note and that the Company’s failure to make any such installment payment(s) constituted an Event of Default under the GE Note.   Pursuant to the terms of the GE Note, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default for any reason whatsoever, GE shall, among other things, have the right to (a) cure such defaults, with the result that all costs and expenses incurred or paid by GE in effecting such cure shall bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law, and shall be payable upon demand; and (b) accelerate the maturity of the GE Note and demand the immediate payment thereof, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind.    Upon an event of default under the GE Note, GE shall be entitled to, among other things (i) the principal amount of the GE Note along with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon and (ii) any and all expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the collection and enforcement of any rights under the GE Note.  

As of the date hereof, the Company has not repaid any principal or accrued but unpaid interest that has become due and payable under the GE Note.  

On May 22, 2013, GE filed a lawsuit against STW in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Index No. 651832/2013 (the “GE Lawsuit”).  STW’s Answer to the GE Lawsuit is not due until 30 days after service.  Although the lawsuit arises out of STW’s obligations to GE under its Settlement Agreement with GE, upon which STW owed GE $2.1 million plus interest, GE has elected to forgo suit on the settlement amount and sue STW for the original debt of $11,239,437, plus interest and attorneys’ fees.

Deferred Compensation Notes
 
Beginning in February 2009, the Company had been unable to meet its contractual employment related obligations and has been accruing, as a component of accrued expenses, past due salaries to its employees and, as a component of accounts payable, severance payments payable to its former Chief Executive Officer and fees due its in-house counsel.  Through December 31, 2009, the Company, in partial satisfaction of these past due amounts, had issued $1,071,333 (unaudited) principal amount of 12% convertible notes (the “Deferred Compensation Convertible Notes”) on the basis of $2.00 of Deferred Compensation Convertible Note face value for each $1.00 of compensation deferred.  Each Deferred Compensation Convertible Note was convertible, at any time at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share (the “Conversion Price”).  On December 31, 2009, there was $1,071,333 (unaudited) of the Deferred Compensation Convertible Notes outstanding plus related accrued interest of $48,540 (unaudited) under these notes, in addition to accrued salaries of $327,713 (unaudited) recorded (collectively the “Deferred Compensation Liabilities”).
 
On December 31, 2009, the Company entered into a new agreement (the “Deferred Compensation Note Agreement”) with holders of the Deferred Compensation Convertible Notes, who were also owed the accrued salaries of $327,713 (unaudited).  Pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Note Agreement and in settlement of the Deferred Compensation Liabilities, liabilities of $323,735 (unaudited)  were forgiven, the Company converted liabilities of $844,756 (unaudited) to 3,379,024 shares of the Company’s common stock (unaudited), using a conversion price of $0.25, which approximated the fair value of the Company’s common stock at that date, and $279,095 (unaudited) principal amount of 10% notes maturing in 36 months were issued (the “Deferred Compensation Notes”).  The forgiveness of the $323,735 (unaudited) was recorded as a reduction of salary expense.  Pursuant to the note agreements monthly installment payments were to begin on January 1, 2011.  No payments have been made and the Company is in default. As per the terms of the agreement, the interest rate payable on the notes increased to 15% per annum and the amount is now current. The notes matured December 31, 2012, and the Company plans to negotiate with the note holders to extend the due date.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, total interest expense incurred related to all of the convertible notes payable and other notes payable were $655,371 and $572,421 respectively, which included $33,842 and $149,308, respectively, of amortization of debt discount and $10,833 and $36,662, respectively, of amortization of debt issuance costs.  There was no interest capitalized in 2012 and 2011. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, deferred financing costs were $45,667 and $0, respectively, and unamortized debt discount was $80,735 and $60,380, respectively.
 
6.  Derivative Liabilities
 
We apply the accounting standard that provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The standard applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock.
 
From time to time, the Company has issued notes with embedded conversion features and warrants to purchase common stock. Certain of the embedded conversion features and warrants contain price protection or anti-dilution features that result in these instruments being treated as derivatives. In addition, the Company has an insufficient number of available shares of common stock to settle outstanding contracts (see Note 7). The Company estimates the fair value of these embedded conversion features, warrants, and derivatives related to the insufficient number of authorized shares to settle outstanding contracts using Black-Scholes with the following assumptions:
 
Expected volatility is based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using weekly pricing observations for recent periods. We believe this method produces an estimate that is representative of our expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants and embedded conversion features.
 
We currently have no reason to believe that future volatility over the expected remaining life of these warrants and embedded conversion features is likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The expected life is based on the remaining term of the warrants and embedded conversion features. The risk-free interest rate is based on one-year to five-year U.S. Treasury securities consistent with the remaining term of the warrants and embedded conversion features.

The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following variables: annual dividend yield of 0%; expected life of 2 years; risk free rate of return of 0.33%; expected volatility of 100%. As the value of the warrants is not significant, the Company did not allocate any portion of the proceeds to the warrants, however, the warrants are included in the derivative liability account each reporting period as the Company has insufficient authorized shares.

9.  Board of Directors and Advisory Board compensation
 
Directors are expected to timely and fully participate in all regular and special board meetings, and all meetings of committees that they serve on.   In December 2011, the Board voted to authorize the issuance of shares in lieu of cash compensation for past services.
 
Per the Director Agreements, the Company compensates each of the directors through the initial grant of 200,000 shares of common stock and the payment of a cash fee equal to $1,000 plus travel expenses for each board meeting attended, and $75,000 per year as compensation for serving on our board of directors. The Company recorded board compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations of $525,000 and $1,173,900 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, of which the Company has accrued compensation due to its directors (both current and former) of $225,000 at December 31, 2012. The Company had accrued $1,173,900 at December 31, 2011, which is calculated based upon time of service and the number of Board meetings attended and is included in accrued compensation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During the current year, the Company issued shares to the board of directors for prior and current year compensation fees due (see Note 7).

The Company’s advisory board is comprised of three members. Each advisory board member is granted 56,250 shares upon joining the board and 75,000 shares annually thereafter. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was obligated to issue 225,000 shares to the advisory board members and has recorded the fair market value of these shares as an accrued liability totaling $10,000 in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.   As of December 31, 2012, the Company was obligated to issue 225,000 shares to the advisory board members and has recorded the fair market value of these shares as an accrued liability totaling $10,000 in accrued compensation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During the current year, the Company issued shares to the advisory board for prior compensation fees due (see Note 7).

10.  Income Taxes
 
The Company’s net (loss) income before income taxes totaled $(3,598,684) and $(2,819,743) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Based on the weight of available evidence, the Company’s management has determined that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had net U.S. deferred tax assets of $6,656,142. Due to uncertainties surrounding the Company’s ability to generate future U.S. taxable income to realize these assets, a full valuation allowance has been established to offset the net U.S. deferred tax asset. Additionally, the future utilization of the Company’s Federal net operating loss credit carry forwards (“NOLs”) to offset future taxable income maybe subject to an annual limitation, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, as a result of ownership changes that may have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. The Company has not formally analyzed any NOLs to determine the maximum potential future tax benefit that might be available, nor has it performed a Section 382 analysis to determine the limitation of the NOLs. When a formal analysis is finalized, the Company plans to update its unrecognized tax benefits. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, future changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will not impact the Company’s tax provision.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had Federal income tax NOLs of $6,579,642 million. The Federal NOLs expire at various dates through 2032, unless previously utilized. The tax years from 2009 through 2012 remain open for examination.
 
11.  Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company leased its office facilities under a month-to-month lease for a monthly rental expense of $1,174.  Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $14,292 and $16,815, respectively.
 
Indemnities and Guarantees

In addition to the indemnification provisions contained in the Company’s charter documents, the Company will generally enter into separate indemnification agreements with the Company’s directors and officers. These agreements require the Company, among other things, to indemnify the director or officer against specified expenses and liabilities, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by the individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the individual’s status or service as the Company’s director or officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that is knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, and to advance expenses incurred by the individual in connection with any proceeding against the individual with respect to which the individual may be entitled to indemnification by the Company. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Contingencies

Viewpoint Securities, LLC Arbitration.  On or about July 9, 2012, the Company and Stan Weiner, the Company’s chief executive officer, received a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. The demand was filed by Viewpoint Securities LLC (“VP”), who entered into that certain engagement agreement, dated March 9, 2008, as amended on March 9, 2008, November 10, 2008, January 1, 2009, February 5, 2010, and December 1, 2010, pursuant to which the Company retained VP to act as its financial and capital markets advisor regarding equity and debt introduced by VP to the Company.  The demand alleges breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealings, negligence prayer for commissions and expenses incurred by VP in its efforts to provide introductions and attempt to provide financing to the Company from March 9, 2008 through February 2, 2012, the date of termination of the Agreement.  VP seeks, among other things, $216,217 and a warrant to purchase 566,667 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company believes that it has valid defenses and intends to contest these claims vigorously.  On August 18, 2012, VP dismissed Stan Weiner from the claim with prejudice.  On February 5, 2013, the Company caused an answer to the complaint to be filed on behalf of the Company, denying the allegations and asserting, among other things, the course of business conduct, lack of FINRA status post termination and recognition of third party entitlement to amounts owed.  The arbitration is now in discovery.

GE Ionics, Inc. Lawsuit. On May 22, 2013, GE filed a lawsuit against STW in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Index No. 651832/2013 (the “GE Lawsuit”).  STW’s Answer to the GE Lawsuit is not due until 30 days after service.  Although the lawsuit arises out of STW’s obligations to GE under its Settlement Agreement with GE (described more fully in Item 4 Debt, GE Ionics Settlement Agreement), upon which STW owed GE $2.1 million plus interest, GE has elected to forgo suit on the settlement amount and sue STW for the original debt of $11,239,437, plus interest and attorneys’ fees (the “Original Debt”).  As such, STW is entitled to and shall pursue all of its available legal and equitable defenses to the Original Debt, inasmuch as GE has, among other things, failed to discount the Original Debt sued upon by the amounts that it covered through re-use and re-sale of the equipment it fabricated for STW. Management has not accrued the Original Amount of the debt because the probability of recovery is remote.

12.  Subsequent Events
 
On January 8, 2013, the Company and Black Pearl Energy, LLC, an entity controlled by Stan Weiner and Lee Maddox, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively (“BPE”), entered into an equity exchange agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which BPE transferred 10% of the outstanding membership interests of Black Wolf Enterprises, LLC, (“Black Wolf”) to the Company in exchange for 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s shares will be issued once its articles of incorporation are amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock.  The Company will analyze the transaction subsequent to the issuance of shares of common stock to determine the appropriate accounting. The Company will continually evaluate the investment on a recurring basis to determine if the investment becomes a variable interest entity which would require consolidation. Black Wolf currently commercializes the expertise and services of Lone Wolf Resources, LLC, an environmental and civil construction company operating in the oil and gas industry (“Lone Wolf”). Lone Wolf has worked with the Department of Transportation and the Texas Commission on environmental quality to shape the standards for processing hydrocarbon-impacted soils to a reusable road base. Lone Wolf has completed projects internationally and throughout the United States, including the world's largest in-situ thermal remediation project. BPE is an oilfield service company that has developed an evaporation cover that is conservation friendly, economical and can be floated on to existing ponds or installed during construction for the elimination of evaporation on frac ponds used throughout the oilfield. BPE also provides high quality liners with fusion-welded seams, quality control testing including air tests of seams and destruction testing in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico, and intends to expand into South Texas during the first quarter of this year. Black Wolf combines Lone Wolf’s and BPE’s services and constructs drill sites, reserve pits, frac ponds, roads, pit closings, liners, leak detection systems, evaporation covers, and provides associated maintenance. Black Wolf also offers turnkey services for H-11 permitted ponds, including surveys, engineering and design, and permitting for storage of produced and brine waters as well as utilizes proprietary technologies employed by Lone Wolf in the reclamation of hydrocarbon-impacted soils. Black Wolf is currently negotiating on a number of multi-well packages with many of the largest oil and gas producers in West Texas.

On March 7, 2013, the Company filed a certificate of designation to its articles of incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada whereby it designated 210,000 shares of preferred stock as series A-1 preferred stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”).  Except as otherwise expressly required by law, each holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the Company and shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock deliverable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock owned at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited.  Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of common stock on all matters and shall not vote as a separate class.
 
The Series A-1 Preferred Stock pays dividends of 16% per annum (10% cash and 6% paid-in-kind), payable quarterly in arrears.  Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) the dividend rate shall increase to eighteen percent (18%) per annum, of which 12% is payable in cash and 6% paid-in-kind, until such time as the Event of Default is cured.  Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock has a stated value equal to $2.40 per share and is initially convertible at any time, subject to the filing of a certificate of amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock, into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.12 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.   The conversion price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is subject to weighted average price adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, subject to certain exceptions.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion, such Holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of the common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by the applicable holder.  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount equal to two (2) times the original purchase price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, plus all declared and unpaid dividends.
 
Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into common stock, at the then applicable conversion price, upon the earlier to occur of (i) the closing share price of the Company’s common stock being at least $0.75 for 10 consecutive trading days, or (ii) the affirmative consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Company may, at any time, and upon providing a 30 days written notice, require the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to sell all of their shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at a redemption price payable in cash equal to the sum of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid dividends, if any, multiplied by a factor such that each Holder receives an annualized return of 20%. In addition, each holder of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock may, at their option upon certain events, require the Company to purchase all of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by such holder at a price payable in cash equal to the sum of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid dividends, if any, multiplied by a factor such that each holder receives an annualized return of 20%.
