NOTE 3. CONCENTRATIONS, SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has concentrated credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in one bank.  These balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  From time to time during the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s cash balances exceeded the federally insured limits. No losses have been incurred relating to this concentration.


At June 30, 2012 and 2011 and for each of the six months then ended, the Company’s revenues and receivables were comprised of the following customer concentrations:

The Company purchases goods and services from two companies that represented 11% and 11% of total purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The Company has one debt facility available for use, of which there were no amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. See note 4 for further details.

The Company’s revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing prices for petroleum-based products.  Historically, the energy markets have been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that these prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future.  A substantial or extended decline in such prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and access to capital and on the quantities of petroleum-based product that the Company can economically produce.

The Company, in its normal course of business, is involved in various other claims and legal action.  In the opinion of management, the outcome of these claims and actions will not have a material adverse impact upon the financial position of the Company.

We intend to take advantage of any potential tax benefits related to net operating losses (“NOLs”) acquired as part of the Company’s April 2009 merger with World Waste Technologies, Inc. (“World Waste”).  As a result of the merger we acquired approximately $42 million of net operating losses that may be used to offset taxable income generated by the Company in future periods.
 
It is possible that the Company may be unable to use these NOLs in their entirety.  The extent to which the Company will be able to utilize these carry-forwards in future periods is subject to limitations based on a number of factors, including the number of shares issued within a three-year look-back period, whether the merger is deemed to be a change in control, whether there is deemed to be a continuity of World Waste’s historical business, and the extent of the Company’s subsequent income. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had utilized approximately $6.6 million of these NOLs leaving approximately $35.4 million of potential NOLs of which we expect to utilize approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company recorded a change in the valuation allowance as of June 30, 2012 for approximately $510,000.
