Note 1: Organization and summary
of significant accounting policies
Nature of business
ThermoEnergy Corporation (“the
Company”) was incorporated in January 1988 for the purpose of developing and marketing advanced municipal and industrial
wastewater treatment and carbon reducing power generation technologies.
The Company’s
wastewater treatment systems are based on its proprietary Controlled Atmosphere Separation Technology (“CAST®”)
platform. The Company’s patented and proprietary platform technology is combined with off-the-shelf technologies
to provide systems that are inexpensive, easy to operate and reliable. The Company’s wastewater treatment systems have global
applications in aerospace, food and beverage processing, metal finishing, pulp & paper, petrochemical, refining, microchip
and circuit board manufacturing, heavy manufacturing and municipal wastewater. The CAST® platform technology is owned by its
subsidiary, CASTion Corporation (“CASTion”).
The Company
also owns a patented pressurized oxycombustion technology that converts fossil fuels (including coal, oil and natural gas) and
biomass into electricity while producing near zero air emissions and removing and capturing carbon dioxide in liquid form for
sequestration or beneficial reuse. This technology is intended to be used to build new or to retrofit old fossil fuel power plants
globally with near zero air emissions while capturing carbon dioxide as a liquid for ready sequestration far more economically
than any other competing technology. The pressurized oxycombustion
technology is held in the Company’s subsidiary,
ThermoEnergy Power Systems, LLC (“TEPS”).
Principles of consolidation and
basis of presentation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Financial results for Unity Power Alliance (“UPA”) have been
consolidated for the period from inception until the date it became a Joint Venture. Financial results for UPA as a Joint Venture
are accounted for under the equity method, as discussed in Note 4.
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant
estimates affecting amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements relate to revenue recognition using the percentage-of-completion
method.
The 15% third party ownership interest
in TEPS is recorded as a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenues using
the percentage of completion method. Under this approach, revenue is earned in proportion to total costs incurred in relation
to total costs expected to be incurred. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and indirect costs related
to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation.
Recognition of revenue and profit is
dependent upon a number of factors, including the accuracy of a variety of estimates made at the balance sheet date such as engineering
progress, materials quantities, the achievement of milestones, penalty provisions, labor productivity and cost estimates made.
Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, actual completion costs may vary from estimates. Changes in job performance,
job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized beginning in the period
in which they become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which the
estimated loss first becomes known.
Certain long-term contracts include
a number of different services to be provided to the customer. The Company records separately revenues, costs and gross profit
related to each of these services if they meet the contract segmenting criteria in ASC 605-35. This policy may result in different
interim rates of profitability for each segment than if the Company had recognized revenues using the percentage-of-completion
method based on the project’s estimated total costs.
THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
In circumstances when the Company cannot
estimate the final outcome of a contract, or when the Company cannot reasonably estimate revenue, the Company utilizes the percentage-of-completion
method based on a zero profit margin until more precise estimates can be made. If and when the Company can make more precise estimates,
revenues will be adjusted accordingly and recorded as a change in an accounting estimate. The Company recorded two contracts which
represented 8% of its revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 and one contract which represented approximately 5% of its
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 utilizing the percentage-of-completion method based on a zero profit margin.
Variable interest entities
The Company assesses whether its involvement
with another related entity constitutes a variable interest entity (“VIE”) through either direct or indirect variable
interest in that entity. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE, the Company must determine if it is the primary beneficiary (i.e.
the party that consolidates the VIE), in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of variable interest entities.
The Company qualitatively evaluates if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s based on whether the Company has (i) the
power to direct those matters that most significantly impacted the activities of the VIE; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses
or the right to receive benefits of the VIE. See Note 4 for further discussion of UPA as a variable interest entity.
Cash
The Company places its cash in highly
rated financial institutions, which are continually reviewed by senior management for financial stability. Effective December
31, 2010, extending through December 31, 2012, all “noninterest-bearing transaction accounts” are fully insured, regardless
of the balance of the account. Generally the Company’s cash in interest-bearing accounts exceeds financial depository insurance
limits. However, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that its cash is not exposed to significant
credit risk.
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable are recorded at
their estimated net realizable value. Receivables related to the Company’s contracts have realization and liquidation periods
of less than one year and are therefore classified as current.
The Company maintains allowances for
specific doubtful accounts based on estimates of losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments and
record these allowances as a charge to general and administrative expense. The Company’s method for estimating its allowance
for doubtful accounts is based on judgmental factors, including known and inherent risks in the underlying balances, adverse situations
that may affect the customer’s ability to pay and current economic conditions. Amounts considered uncollectible are written
off based on the specific customer balance outstanding.
The Company did not have any activity
in its allowance for doubtful accounts for the year ended December 31, 2012. The following is a summary of the Company’s
allowance for doubtful accounts activity for the year ended December 31, 2011:

One customer accounted for 53% and
96% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the year ended December
31, 2012, one customer accounted for 73% of the Company’s revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2011, two customers
each accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues and collectively accounted for 92% of total revenues.
THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower
of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method and consist primarily of raw materials and supplies.
The Company evaluates its inventory
for excess quantities and obsolescence on a periodic basis. In preparing our evaluation, the Company looks at the expected
demand for its products for the next three to twelve months. Based on this evaluation, the Company records provisions
to ensure that inventory is appropriately stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at
cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful life of each asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method.
The Company evaluates long-lived assets based on estimated future undiscounted net cash flows or other fair value measures whenever
significant events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If that evaluation
indicates that an impairment has occurred, a charge is recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted cash
flows or fair values of the asset, whichever is more readily determinable.
The Company recorded a loss of $131,000
in 2012 related to the disposal of a system previously used for pre-sales testing. This loss is included in sales and marketing
expense on its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. In 2011, the Company recorded a loss
of $62,000 on the disposal of property and equipment in conjunction with relocating its corporate headquarters. This loss is included
in general and administrative expense on its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Contingencies
The Company accrues for costs relating
to litigation, including litigation defense costs, claims and other contingent matters, including liquidated damage liabilities,
when such liabilities become probable and reasonably estimable. Such estimates may be based on advice from third parties or on
management’s judgment, as appropriate. Revisions to payroll tax and other accruals are reflected in income in the period
in which different facts or information become known or circumstances change that affect the Company’s previous assumptions
with respect to the likelihood or amount of loss. Amounts paid upon the ultimate resolution of contingent liabilities may be materially
different from previous estimates and could require adjustments to the estimated liability to be recognized in the period
such new information becomes known.
Stock options
The Company accounts for stock options
in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.
This topic requires that the cost of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized
in the financial statements based on their fair values on the measurement date, which is generally the date of grant. Such
cost is recognized over the vesting period of the awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to
estimate the fair value of “plain vanilla” stock option awards.
Income taxes
The Company uses the liability method
of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences
between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted rates and laws that will
be in effect when the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. A valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets is provided if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
Company recognizes interest and penalties related to underpayments of income taxes as a component of interest and other expense
on its Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company estimates contingent income
tax liabilities based on the guidance for accounting for uncertain tax positions as prescribed in ASC Topic 740, “Income
Taxes.” The Company uses a two-step process to assess each income tax position. The Company first determines whether
it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based on technical merits, upon examination by the
taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the Company then records
the benefit in the financial statements that equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its
ultimate settlement. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there are no uncertain tax positions that require accrual.
THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
The Company is subject to taxation
in the U.S. and various states. As of December 31, 2012 the Company’s tax years for 2009, 2010 and 2011 are subject to examination
by the tax authorities. With few exceptions, as of December 31, 2012, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state
or local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009. Tax year 2008 was open as of December 31, 2011.
Fair value of financial instruments
and fair value measurements
The carrying amount of cash, accounts
receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, short-term borrowings and other current liabilities in the consolidated financial
statements approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s
convertible debt was $1,838,000 and $1,571,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and approximates the fair value of
these instruments, as the interest rate on this debt approximates the interest rate on the Company’s recent borrowings.
The Company’s derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value.
The Company's assets and liabilities
carried at fair value are categorized using inputs from the three levels of fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level
1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level
3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair
value of the liabilities.
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company determined the initial
value of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock using the monte carlo simulation valuation model. Because the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock has an indefinite life, it is classified within the stockholders’ deficiency section of the
Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings
(loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders (the
numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (the denominator) during the reporting periods.
Fully diluted earnings per share is computed by increasing the denominator by the weighted average number of additional shares
that could have been outstanding from securities convertible into common stock, such as stock options and warrants (using the
“treasury stock” method), and convertible preferred stock and debt (using the “if-converted” method),
unless the effect on net income per share is antidilutive. Under the “if-converted” method, convertible instruments
are assumed to have been converted as of the beginning of the period or when issued, if later. The computations of diluted net
loss per share do not include 392,326 and 420,004 options and warrants which were outstanding as of the years ended December 31,
2012 and 2011, respectively, as the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive.
Concentration of Credit Risk and
Major Customers
Financial instruments which potentially
expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash equivalents, investments in treasury bills, certificates of deposits
and commercial paper, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We restrict our cash equivalents and
investments in marketable securities to repurchase agreements with major banks and U.S. government and corporate securities which
are subject to minimal credit and market risk.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2011,
the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements
in U.S. GAAP and IFRS,” which converges fair value measurement and disclosure guidance in U.S. GAAP with fair value measurement
and disclosure guidance issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The amendments in the authoritative
guidance do not modify the requirements for when fair value measurements apply. The amendments generally represent clarifications
on how to measure and disclose fair value under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” The authoritative guidance is effective
prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption of the authoritative guidance
is not permitted.
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-04 in the Company’s fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2012, and the provisions of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial statements or disclosures.
THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
There were no other accounting standards
recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures.
Note 2: Management's consideration
of going concern matters
The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate
continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial losses from operations in recent
years, and such losses have continued through the year ended December 31, 2012.
At December 31, 2012, the Company had
cash of approximately $4.7 million. The Company has incurred net losses since inception, including a net loss of approximately
$7.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $120.9 million at December
31, 2012.
In view of the matters described in
the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet
is dependent upon continued operations of the company, which in turn is dependent upon the company’s ability to meet its
financing requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain present financing, and to succeed in its future operations.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts
or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue in existence. Management
is considering several alternatives for mitigating these conditions.
These uncertainties raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included in this Form 10-K have been
prepared on a going concern basis and as such do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management is actively seeking to raise
substantial funding through additional equity or debt financing that will allow the Company to operate until it becomes cash flow
positive from operations. Management is also actively pursuing commercial contracts to generate operating revenue. Management
has determined that the financial success of the Company is largely dependent upon the Company’s ability to collaborate
with financially sound third parties to pursue projects involving the Technologies.
As more fully
described in Note 7, the Company initiated the following equity financing transactions during 2012:
On January 10, 2012, the Company received
proceeds totaling approximately $498,000, net of issuance costs, from the exercise of an aggregate of 5,633,344 warrants at an
exercise price of $0.095 per share.
On July 11,
2012, the Company received proceeds totaling approximately $1,566,000, net of issuance costs, from the issuance of 17,316,250
shares of the Company’s Common Stock, warrants for the purchase of an additional 18,670,375 shares at an exercise price
of $0.15 per share and warrants for the purchase of an additional 1,354,125 shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.
On August
9, 2012, the Company received proceeds totaling approximately $729,000, net of issuance costs, from the issuance of 8,287,500
shares of the Company’s Common Stock, warrants for the purchase of an additional 9,116,250 shares at an exercise price of
$0.15 per share and warrants for the purchase of an additional 828,750 shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.
On October
9, 2012 the Company received proceeds of approximately $331,000, net of issuance costs, from the issuance of 3,765,000 shares
of the Company’s Common Stock, warrants for the purchase of an additional 4,141,500 shares at an exercise price of $0.15
per share and warrants for the purchase of an additional 376,500 shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.
Also, as more fully described in Note
5, on November 30, 2012 the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement with certain investors on November 30, 2012 pursuant
to which the Company received proceeds totaling $3.7 million.

December 31, 2012 and 2011
Note 3: Risks and Uncertainties
On August 22, 2012, the NYCDEP issued
a stop work order to the Company relative to its contract to install an Ammonia Removal Process (“ARP”) system at
the NYCDEP’s wastewater treatment facility in the 26
th
Ward. On November 13, 2012, the NYCDEP notified the Company
that it is terminating the contract, effective November 29, 2012.
The Company suspended all work on this
contract as of August 22, 2012 and suspended all work with its major vendors. Upon notification of the contract termination, the
Company cancelled all orders from its major vendors. The Company ceased recognition of revenues as of November 29, 2012 and has
recorded all incremental costs as period costs on its Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company has billed approximately
$15.5 million to the NYCDEP related to this contract as of December 31, 2012, of which approximately $14.8 million has been paid
and approximately $662,000 was outstanding. The outstanding amounts were paid by the NYCDEP in January 2013. The Company has accounts
receivable of approximately $662,000, deposits of approximately $1.4 million, accrued contract costs of approximately $1.4 million
and billings in excess of costs of approximately $4.5 million related to this contract as of December 31, 2012. The Company is
working through the termination process directly with the NYCDEP. There may be additional billings or adjustments related to this
termination process. Accordingly, the Company cannot determine a final outcome at this time; however, the Company does not believe
its exposure extends beyond the amounts reported on its Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2012.
Because of this contract termination,
the Company's revenues, expenses, and income will be adversely affected in future periods, as this contract represented approximately
73% and 80% of the Company's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Note 4: Joint Ventures
Babcock-Thermo Clean Combustion
LLC
On February 25, 2009, the Company’s
subsidiary, TEPS, and Babcock Power Development, LLC (“BPD”), a subsidiary of Babcock Power, Inc., entered
into a Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) establishing Babcock-Thermo Carbon Capture LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (the “Joint Venture”) for the purpose of developing its proprietary pressurized
oxycombustion technology. In 2011, the joint venture changed its name to Babcock-Thermo Clean Combustion LLC.
TEPS entered into a license agreement
with the Joint Venture and BPD, pursuant to which it has granted to the Joint Venture an exclusive, irrevocable (except as otherwise
provided therein), world-wide and royalty-free license to TEPS’ intellectual property related to or necessary to practice
the pressurized oxycombustion technology (the “License”). In the LLC Agreement, BPD has agreed to
develop, at its own expense, intellectual property in connection with three critical subsystems relating to the pressurized oxycombustion
technology: a combustor subsystem, a steam generating heating surface subsystem, and a condensing heat exchangers subsystem (collectively,
the “Subsystems”) and BPD has entered into a license agreement with the Joint Venture and TEPS pursuant
to which it has granted the Joint Venture an exclusive, irrevocable (except as otherwise provided therein), world-wide, fully
paid up and royalty-free license to BPD’s know-how and other proprietary intellectual property related to or necessary to
practice the Subsystems.
Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, each
of ThermoEnergy Power Systems and BPD owned a 50% membership interest in the Joint Venture. The LLC Agreement provides
that each member may be required, from time to time, to make capital contributions to the Joint Venture to fund its operations. The
Company made capital contributions of $400,000 in 2011.
The Company accounted for the Joint
Venture using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company reduced the value of its investment in the Joint Venture
by $26,000 in 2012 and $389,000 in 2011 to account for its share of net losses incurred by the Joint Venture. The carrying value
of the Company’s investment in the Joint Venture is $10,000 and $32,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively,
and is classified as Other Assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
On March 2, 2012, TEPS entered into
a Dissolution Agreement with BPD to terminate the Limited Liability Company Agreement and dissolve the Joint Venture. The BTCC
Board of Managers is supervising the wind down and dissolution process.
Unity Power Alliance LLC
On March 8, 2012, the Company announced
the formation of Unity Power Alliance LLC (“UPA”). UPA was formed with the intention to work with partners and stakeholders
to develop and commercialize its pressurized oxycombustion technology.
On June 20, 2012, the Company entered
into an agreement with Itea S.p.A. (“Itea”) for the development of pressurized oxycombustion in North America. The
two parties, through UPA, will utilize the two parties’ propriety technology to advance, develop and promote the use of
the coal application of pressurized oxycombustion, construct a pilot plant utilizing the technology, and subsequently construct
a demonstration facility based on the technology as implemented in the pilot plant. Itea was granted the option to acquire a 50%
ownership interest in UPA for $1,250. On July 16, 2012, Itea exercised its option and acquired the 50% ownership interest in UPA.
UPA is governed by a Board of Directors,
with half of the directors nominated by each of the Company and Itea. Administrative expenses of UPA are borne jointly by the
Company and Itea, and financing for development expenses will be obtained from third parties.
Also on June 20, 2012 the Company and
Itea entered into a License Agreement whereby the Company and the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, TEPS, and Itea granted
a non-exclusive, non-transferable royalty-free license to UPA to use their intellectual property relating to pressurized oxycombustion.
The licenses to UPA became effective upon Itea’s acquisition of its ownership interest in UPA. The License Agreement further
provides that, if UPA successfully obtains funding and project support to construct the pilot plant, the parties may grant licenses
of their respective intellectual property and know-how to each other or to third parties for the operation of power plants based
on such intellectual property and know-how, and royalties will be shared as defined in the License Agreement.
In September 2012, UPA was awarded
a $1 million Phase 1 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to help fund a project under a special DOE program to advance technologies
for efficient, clean coal power and carbon capture. As of December 31, 2012, UPA has not received any funding and has not recorded
any revenues related to this grant. As part of UPA's project, in October 2012, the Company received a $900,000 contract from UPA
to build a bench-scale “flameless” combustion reactor under the grant. The Company has not commenced work on this
contract as of December 31, 2012.
In October 2012, the Company and Itea
entered into a Loan Agreement with UPA through which funds required to maintain the operations of the joint venture would be loaned
in the form of notes receivable. The notes bear interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 2% per year, with interest calculated
monthly and added to the balance of the notes. Each of the Company and Itea loaned $100,000 to UPA in October 2012 in conjunction
with this Loan Agreement.
In accordance with ASC 810,
Consolidation
,
the Company determined that it held a variable interest in UPA and that UPA was a variable-interest entity. However, the Company
has concluded that it is not required to consolidate the financial statements of UPA for the year ended December 31, 2012. The
Company reviewed the most significant activities of UPA and determined that because the Company shares the power to direct the
activities of UPA with Itea, it is not the primary beneficiary of UPA. Accordingly, the financial results of UPA are accounted
for under the equity method of accounting.
Financial results for UPA have been
consolidated for the period from inception until July 16, 2012, when Itea acquired its 50% ownership interest in UPA. Accordingly,
the Company included $129,000 of sales and marketing expense related to UPA on its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
year ended December 31, 2012. The Company accounted for UPA using the equity method of accounting after Itea acquired its ownership
interest. The Company increased the value of its investment in the Joint Venture by $18,000 in 2012 to account for its share of
net income. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the Joint Venture is a shortfall of $104,000 as of December
31, 2012 and is classified as Other Long Term Liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Project Financing Line of Credit
On October 4, 2012, the Company entered
into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with C13 Thermo LLC (the “Lender”), a related party whose
owners are related to an officer of the Company. Under this Loan Agreement, the Lender established a credit facility allowing
the Company to borrow up to $700,000 (the “Credit Facility”) to finance the fabrication and testing of an Ammonia
Reduction Process system utilizing the Company’s proprietary technology (the “Project”). The Company issued
to the Lender a promissory note in the principal amount of $700,000 (the “Note”). As of December 31, 2012 the Company
borrowed approximately $491,000 against this Credit Facility.
Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility
will not bear interest (except in the case of an event of default, in which case all amounts borrowed, together with all fees,
expenses and other amounts due, shall bear interest at the default rate of 8% per annum). Upon maturity of the Note, the Company
will be charged a commitment fee equal to 10% of the aggregate principal amount borrowed under the Credit Facility. The Credit

THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
March 21, 2007 Financing
On March 21, 2007 the Company issued
to Mr. Martin A. Roenigk, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors as of that date, a 5% Convertible Promissory Note
due March 21, 2013 in the principal amount of $750,000. The principal amount and accrued interest on the Note was convertible
into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share at any time at the election of the holder. As
further consideration, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the
daily volume weighted average price per share of the common stock for the 365-day period immediately preceding the date on which
the warrant is exercised, subject to a minimum exercise price of $0.50 per share and a maximum exercise price of $1.00 per share.
The warrant expires on March 21, 2013.
Interest on the Note was payable semi-annually.
The Company could, at its discretion, defer any scheduled interest payment until the maturity date of the Note upon payment of
a $2,500 deferral fee. The Company added $213,000 and $188,000 of accrued interest to the principal balance of the
Note as of June 20, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
On June 20, 2012, the Noteholder tendered
this Note, together with the 2008 Convertible Promissory Note discussed below, as consideration for the issuance of the 2012 Convertible
Promissory Note, as discussed below.
March 7, 2008 Financing
On March 7, 2008, Mr. Roenigk exercised
his option to make an additional $750,000 investment in the Company under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement between
the Company and Mr. Roenigk dated March 21, 2007. The Company issued to Mr. Roenigk a 5% Convertible Promissory Note due March
7, 2013 in the principal amount of $750,000. The principal amount and accrued interest on the Note was convertible into shares
of common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share at any time at the election of the holder. As further consideration,
the Company issued a warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the daily volume weighted
average price per share of the Company’s common stock for the 365-day period immediately preceding the date on which the
warrant is exercised, subject to a minimum exercise price of $0.50 per share and a maximum exercise price of $1.00 per share.
The warrant expires on March 7, 2014.
Interest on the Note was payable semi-annually.
The Company could, at its discretion, defer any scheduled interest payment until the maturity date of the Note upon payment of
a $2,500 deferral fee. The Company added $165,000 and $142,000 of accrued interest to the principal balance of the
Note as of June 20, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
On June 20, 2012, the Noteholder tendered
this Note, together with the 2007 Convertible Promissory Note discussed above, as consideration for the issuance of the 2012 Convertible
Promissory Note, as discussed below.
CASTion Acquisition Financing
On July 2, 2007, the Company issued
Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,353,127 as part of the consideration for the acquisition
of CASTion. The outstanding principal and accrued interest were convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at
a conversion price of $0.50 per share at any time at the holders’ discretion. The Notes contained conventional weighted-average
anti-dilution provisions for the adjustment of the conversion price of the Notes in the event the Company issued additional shares
of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price less than the then-effective exercise price or conversion
price. The Notes originally matured on May 31, 2010, and were in default, as the Company had not made required prepayments from
a private placement of equity that closed on December 18, 2007.
Interest on the Notes was payable semi-annually,
and the Company had the option of deferring interest payments and rolling the deferred amount into the principal amount of the
Notes.
On January 7, 2011 the Company entered
into Note Amendment and Forbearance Agreements (the “Agreements”) with the holders of the CASTion Notes (the “CASTion
Noteholders”). Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company (i) made payments totaling $1,144,336 against the outstanding balances
of the CASTion Notes; (ii) converted an aggregate of $902,710 in principal and accrued interest on the CASTion Notes into a total
of 376,129 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; (iii) issued to the CASTion Noteholders warrants
for the purchase of an aggregate of 17,585,127 shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share and an aggregate
of 6,018,065 shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share ; (iv) made additional cash payments to the CASTion
Noteholders totaling $37,914; and (v) the CASTion Notes were amended and restated.
THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
The amended and restated CASTion Notes
bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum, and the maturity date on the CASTion Notes was extended to February 29, 2012. Installment
payments (based on a 10-year amortization schedule) were due on the last day of each month beginning January 31, 2011. The restated
CASTion Notes were convertible, in whole or in part, at any time at the election of the CASTion Noteholders, into shares of the
Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the rate of $2.40 per share. The restated CASTion Notes provided that,
in the event, on or before July 5, 2011, the Company made any payments of principal or accrued interest, then simultaneously with
the making of such payment a portion of the remaining principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the restated CASTion Notes
in an amount equal to the amount of such payment automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock at the rate of $2.40 per share. The restated CASTion Notes also provided that, in the event that (i) the closing
price of the Company’s Common Stock equaled or exceeded $0.72 per share for 20 consecutive trading days and (ii) the daily
average trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock exceeded 30,000 shares for 20 consecutive trading days, then the entire
principal amount, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, would automatically convert into shares of the Company’s
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the rate of $2.40 per share.
The Company accounted for the restated
CASTion Notes as a debt extinguishment, as the present value of cash flows of the restated CASTion Notes was substantially different
than the present value under the original terms. The restructuring of the CASTion Notes resulted in the Company recording a loss
on extinguishment of debt of $7,361,000 in the first quarter of 2011.
On July 1, 2011, the Company exercised
its right to prepay a portion of the outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest on the restated CASTion Notes
by making payments in the aggregate amount of $1,568,267. These payments represent slightly in excess of 50% of the balance of
principal and accrued interest balance on the restated CASTion Notes. Accordingly, on July 1, 2011, the Company issued 653,439
shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants for the purchase of 10,455,024 shares of its Common Stock per
the terms of the restated CASTion Notes. As a result, the restated CASTion Notes are repaid in full.
The Company accounted for the repayment
and conversion of the restated CASTion Notes as a debt extinguishment, as the fair value of the instruments tendered was substantially
different than the carrying value of the restated CASTion Notes. The extinguishment of the CASTion Notes resulted in the Company
recording a loss on extinguishment of debt of $952,000 in the third quarter of 2011.
2010 Bridge Note Financing
On March 10, 2010, the Company entered
into a Bridge Loan Agreement with six of its principal investors (“the Investors”), all related parties, pursuant
to which the Investors agreed to make bridge loans to the Company of $2.6 million in exchange for 3% Secured Convertible Promissory
Notes (the “Bridge Notes”). The Bridge Notes bear interest at the rate of 3% per year and were due and
payable on February 28, 2011. The entire unpaid principal amount, together with all interest then accrued and unpaid under each
Bridge Note, was convertible, at the election of the holder, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.24 per share.
On June 30, 2010, the parties amended the Bridge Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Investors agreed to increase by $2 million
the amount of the bridge loans as provided under the Bridge Loan Agreement.
The Bridge Notes contained other conventional
provisions, including the acceleration of repayment obligations upon the occurrence of certain specified Events of Default. The
Bridge Notes were secured by all of the Company’s assets except for the shares of the Company’s subsidiary, CASTion
Corporation (in which no security interest has been granted).
THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
On February 25, 2011 the Company and
the Investors entered into Note Extension and Amendment Agreements amending the terms of the 2010 Bridge Notes. As amended, the
“Amended 2010 Bridge Notes” bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum and matured on February 29, 2012. The Amended
2010 Bridge Notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the rate of $2.40
per share at any time at the election of the holders. In the event, prior to the maturity date of the Amended 2010 Bridge Notes,
the Company paid in full the restated CASTion Notes as detailed above, then the Amended 2010 Bridge Notes would convert, at the
Company’s election, into shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the rate of $2.40 per share.
In the event that (i) the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock equaled or exceeded $0.72 per share for 20 consecutive
trading days and (ii) the daily average trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock exceeded 30,000 shares for 20 consecutive
trading days, then the entire principal amount of the Amended 2010 Bridge Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, would automatically
convert into shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the rate of $2.40 per share. Upon conversion
of all or any portion of the Amended 2010 Bridge Notes, the Company would issue five-year warrants for the purchase, at an exercise
price of $0.30 per share, of that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing (i) 200% of the
amount of principal and interest so converted by (ii) $0.30 (the “Warrants”). The Amended 2010 Bridge Notes contained
other conventional terms, including events of default upon the occurrence of which the Amended 2010 Bridge Notes become immediately
due and payable.
The Company accounted for the amendment
of the 2010 Bridge Notes as a debt extinguishment, as the change in fair value of the embedded and beneficial conversion features
of the Amended 2010 Bridge Notes was substantially different than the fair value under the original terms. The amendment of the
2010 Bridge Notes resulted in the Company recording a gain on extinguishment of debt of $327,000 in the first quarter of 2011.
As stated above, on July 1, 2011 the
Company repaid the entire principal balance of the restated CASTion Notes by making payments totaling $1,568,267 and converting
the remaining balance into shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Per the terms of the amended 2010 Bridge Loan Agreement,
as described above, the repayment of the CASTion Notes triggered the Company’s right to convert the entire outstanding balance
of principal and interest on the Amended 2010 Bridge Notes (approximately $4.5 million) into shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock and five-year warrants for the purchase, at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, of that number of shares of the Company’s
Common Stock determined by dividing (i) 200% of the amount of principal and interest so converted by (ii) $0.30 (the “Warrants”).
The Company effected this conversion on August 11, 2011, and as a result, the Amended 2010 Bridge Notes are repaid in full.
The Company accounted for the conversion
of the Amended 2010 Bridge Notes as a debt extinguishment, as the fair value of the instruments tendered was substantially different
than the carrying value of the Amended 2010 Bridge Notes. The extinguishment of the CASTion Notes resulted in the Company recording
a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2,618,000 in the third quarter of 2011.
June 2011 Bridge Note Financing
On June 17, 2011 the Company entered
into a Bridge Loan and Warrant Amendment Agreement (the “June 2011 Bridge Loan Agreement”) with six of its principal
investors (“the 2011 Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued Promissory Notes (the “June 2011 Bridge
Notes”) in exchange for proceeds of approximately $2.9 million. This Agreement was amended on July 12, 2011 to provide for
an additional $1.6 million of funding to the Company and the issuance of additional June 2011 Bridge Notes in such principal amount.
The Company used approximately $1.6 million of the proceeds from the issuance of the June 2011 Bridge Notes to pay down the principal
balance of the restated CASTion Notes as described above.
The June 2011 Bridge Notes were originally
payable on demand at any time on or after February 29, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”). They did not bear interest
until the Maturity Date and bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum from and after the Maturity Date. The 2011 Bridge
Notes may not be prepaid, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the 2011 Investors. The 2011 Investors
agreed to surrender the June 2011 Bridge Notes in payment of the exercise price for warrants held by or issuable to them (the
“Warrants”) if and when the conditions to their amendment and exercise were satisfied.
Pursuant to the June 2011 Bridge Loan
Agreement, the Company agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to amend the Warrants (i) to provide that they
will be exercisable for the purchase of shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series
B Stock”) instead of Common Stock (with the number of shares of the Series B Stock determined by dividing by ten (10) the
number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are currently exercisable) and (ii) to change the exercise prices of all
Warrants (which currently range from $0.30 to $1.82 per share of Common Stock) to $1.30 per share of Series B Stock (the equivalent
of $0.13 per Common-equivalent share). The Investors agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to
exercise all of the Warrants. The principal amount of the June 2011 Bridge Notes was equal to the aggregate exercise
price of the Warrants (after they are amended as described above).
THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
Because the June 2011 Bridge Notes
did not bear interest, the Company calculated the present value of the June 2011 Bridge Notes using an imputed interest rate of
10% and recorded imputed interest of $60,000 as a debt discount. The debt discount was amortized to interest expense.
On August 11, 2011, upon satisfaction
of all of the conditions set forth in the 2011 Bridge Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement, the Company reduced the exercise price
of the Warrants, and the holders of the June 2011 Bridge Notes exercised all of the Warrants and tendered all of the June 2011
Bridge Notes for the purchase of an aggregate of 3,469,387 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1.30
per share. As a result, the June 2011 Bridge Notes were repaid in full. As a result of the tender of the June 2011 Bridge Notes,
the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,799,000 in the third quarter of 2011.
December 2011 Bridge Note Financing
On December 2, 2011 the Company entered
into Bridge Loan Agreements with four of its principal investors pursuant to which the Investors agreed to make bridge loans to
the Company of $1.25 million in exchange for 12.5% Promissory Notes (the “December 2011 Bridge Notes”). The
December 2011 Bridge Notes bear interest at the rate of 12.5% per year and were due and payable on December 31, 2012. The entire
unpaid principal amount, together with all interest then accrued and unpaid under each December 2011 Bridge Note, is convertible
into shares of a future series of Preferred Stock.
The December 2011 Bridge Notes contain
other conventional provisions, including the acceleration of repayment obligations upon the occurrence of certain specified Events
of Default.
On November 30, 2012, in conjunction
with the issuance of the November 2012 Bridge Notes (see Note 5), the investors who participated in the December 2011 Bridge Note
financing agreed to extend the maturity date such that the December 2011 Bridge Notes are due on demand on or after January 31,
2013. The company accounted for this amendment as a debt modification.
Roenigk 2012 Convertible Promissory
Note
On June 20, 2012, the Company issued
a Convertible Promissory Note dated April 1, 2012 in the principal amount of $1,877,217 to the Roenigk Family Trust in exchange
for the 2007 Convertible Promissory Note and the 2008 Convertible Promissory Note discussed above (the “Old Notes”).
The Note bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum from April 1, 2012 through May 31, 2012, then bears interest at the rate of
8% per annum until the maturity date, March 31, 2014. The principal amount and accrued interest on the Note is convertible into
shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share at any time at the election of the holder. Interest on the Note
is payable semi-annually. The Company may, at its discretion, defer any scheduled interest payment until the maturity date of
the Note upon payment of a $5,000 deferral fee. The Company added $67,000 of accrued interest to the principal balance of the
Note during the year ended December 31, 2012.
The exchange of the Old Notes for this
Note has been accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. The Company was granted a one year extension of the maturity date
of the Old Notes, and the interest rate was increased from 5% to 8% per annum. The Company evaluated the anticipated future cash
flows of this Note and determined that they exceed the carrying value (and accrued interest thereon) of the Old Notes. As a result,
the Company did not record a loss or gain on this transaction.
Note 7: Equity
On July 11, 2011 the Company received
written consents from stockholders representing 71.3% in voting power of the Company’s capital stock authorizing an amendment
of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation for the following purposes:
|
·
|

12,000,000 shares of the Preferred Stock designated “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” and the remaining shares
undesignated; and

attached as Exhibit A to the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights filed in the Office of the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware on November 18, 2009 (the “Series B Terms”)) to exclude any shares of Common Stock issued

THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
The July, August and October Agreements
described above include a price protection provision pursuant to which, at any time on or before January 11, 2014, the Company
issues and sells any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”)
at a price less than $0.10 per share (a “Dilutive Transaction”), the purchase price for the Shares shall automatically
be reduced to a price equal to the price at which such shares were issued and sold (the “Reduced Price”) and the Company
will issue to the Investors, for no additional consideration, a sufficient number of additional Shares so that the effective price
per Share equals the Reduced Price. The Warrants include a similar price protection provision pursuant to which, upon a Dilutive
Transaction, the exercise price of the Warrants shall automatically be reduced to a price equal to 150% of the Reduced Price.
Upon such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall automatically be adjusted by multiplying
the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance by a fraction, (i) the
numerator of which shall be the exercise price immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance and (ii) the denominator of which shall
be the exercise price as adjusted.
See Note 8 for further discussion of the accounting
treatment of these price protection revisions.
At December 31, 2012, approximately
253 million shares of Common Stock were reserved for future issuance under convertible debt and warrant agreements, stock option
arrangements and other commitments.
Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the

of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s Common Stock and has a liquidation
value of $1.20 per share.
The Company designated and began issuing
shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in 2009. Each share of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
is convertible, at any time at the discretion of the holder, into ten shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Except with
respect to the election of the Board of Directors, holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will vote on an as-converted
basis together with the Common Stock holders on all matters. The Company’s Board of Directors consists of seven members,
four of whom are elected by holders of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (three to be designated by Quercus
and one by Robert S. Trump) and three by the holders of the Company’s Common Stock.
As stated in Note 6, on July 1, 2011
the Company repaid the entire principal balance of the restated CASTion Notes by making payments totaling $1,568,267 and converting
the remaining balance into 653,439 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase a total of 10,455,424
shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
Per the terms of the amended 2010 Bridge
Loan Agreement, as described in Note 6 above, the repayment of the CASTion Notes triggered the conversion of the entire outstanding
balance of principal and interest on the 2010 Bridge Notes. As a result, on August 11, 2011 the Company converted principal and
accrued interest totaling $2,932,108 into 1,221,707 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 19,547,385
shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.
As stated in Note 6, on August 11,
2011, upon satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in the 2011 Bridge Note and Warrant Amendment Agreement, the holders
of the June 2011 Bridge Notes exercised all of the Warrants in accordance with the Agreement and surrendered all of the June 2011
Bridge Notes for the purchase under the Warrants of an aggregate of 3,469,387 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at
a price of $1.30 per share.
Stock Options
The Company’s 1997 Stock Option
Plan (the “Plan”) provided for incentive and non-incentive stock options for an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common
Stock for key employees and non-employee Directors of the Company. The Plan, which expired on December 31, 2007, provided that
the exercise price of each option must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
The Plan contained automatic grant provisions for non-employee Directors of the Company.

The ThermoEnergy Corporation 2008 Incentive
Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”) provides for the granting of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation
rights (“SAR”) and incentive stock options for officers, employees, non-employee members of the Board of Directors,
consultants and other service providers. Options may not be granted at an exercise price less than the fair market
value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant and the term of the options may not be in excess of ten years.
The Company has reserved 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2008 Plan. As discussed in Note 14, on March
20, 2013 the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2008 Plan to increase the number of shares reserved to
40,000,000.
Although the granting of awards under
the 2008 Plan is generally at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, the 2008 Plan provides for
automatic grants of stock options to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Each non-employee Director who is elected
or appointed to the Board for the first time shall automatically be granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase 30,000 shares
of the Company’s Common Stock. Thereafter, at each subsequent Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each non-employee Director
who is re-elected to the Board of Directors or continues to serve a term that has not expired will receive a non-qualified
stock option grant to purchase an additional 30,000 shares. All options granted to non-employee Directors vest and become fully
exercisable on the date of the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders occurring after the end of the fiscal year of the Company
during which such option was granted and shall have a term of ten years. As discussed in Note 14, on March 20, 2013 the Company’s
shareholders approved an amendment to the 2008 Plan to increase the number of shares granted to non-employee Directors to 100,000.

During 2012, the Board of Directors
awarded officers, employees, and various members of the Board of Directors a total of 7,560,000 stock options. The
options are exercisable at exercise prices ranging from $0.085 to $0.268 per share for a ten year period. The exercise price was
equal to or greater than the market price on the respective grant dates during the year.
During 2011, the Board of Directors
awarded officers, employees, and various members of the Board of Directors a total of 3,320,000 stock options. The
options are exercisable at exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.30 per share for a ten year period. The exercise price was
equal to or greater than the market price on the respective grant dates during the year.
The fair value of options granted during
2012 and 2011 were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate is based
on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods over the expected life of the option. The expected
option life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration
to vesting schedules and the Company’s historical exercise patterns. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility
of the Company’s common stock over the expected life of the option granted.
Option expense for the year ended December
31, 2012 was calculated using an expected forfeiture rate of 5%. A forfeiture rate of 0% was used for the comparative period of
2011.

The weighted average grant date fair
value of options granted were $0.11 per share and $0.21 per share for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The total fair value of options vested were approximately $1,137,000 and $958,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Exercise prices for options outstanding
as of December 31, 2012 ranged from $0.085 to $1.50. The weighted average remaining contractual life of those options was approximately
7.4 years at December 31, 2012. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options vested and exercisable was approximately
6.5 years at December 31, 2012.
As of December 31, 2012, there was
$514,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the

Note 8: Derivative Liabilities
The Company has periodically issued
Common Stock and Common Stock purchase warrants with anti-dilution provisions as additional consideration with certain debt instruments.
Additionally, certain debt instruments have been convertible into shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock and have anti-dilution provisions and liquidation
preferences. Because these instruments contain provisions that are not indexed to the Company’s stock, the Company is required
to record these as derivative instruments.

As part of the financing transactions
in July, August and October 2012 as discussed in Note 7, if the Company issues and sells any shares of Common Stock or securities
convertible into Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) at a price less than $0.10 per share at any time on or before
January 11, 2014 (a “Dilutive Transaction”), the purchase price for the shares shall automatically be reduced to a
price equal to the price at which such shares were issued and sold (the “Reduced Price”), and the Company will issue
to the Investors, for no additional consideration, a sufficient number of additional shares so that the effective price per share
equals the Reduced Price.
The Warrants include a similar price
protection provision pursuant to which, upon a Dilutive Transaction, the exercise price of the Warrants shall automatically be
reduced to a price equal to 150% of the Reduced Price. Upon such adjustment, the number of shares issuable upon exercise shall
automatically be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrant immediately prior to the
Dilutive Transaction by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the exercise price immediately prior to the Dilutive Transaction
and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the exercise price as adjusted.
Because these provisions as described
above are not indexed to the Company’s Common Stock, the value of the anti-dilution features of the Common Stock and the
value of the Warrants must be bifurcated and treated as derivative liabilities. As a result, the Company initially recorded derivative
liabilities totaling $3,064,000 in the third and fourth quarters of 2012. Because the Company recorded derivative liabilities
that exceeded the proceeds received, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $567,000. This amount is recorded as other
derivative expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2012.
The fair value of these derivative
liabilities as of December 31, 2012 was $2,234,000, of which derivative liabilities with an aggregate value of $20,000 expire
in one year or less and are classified as current liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Monte Carlo
Simulation lattice model was used to determine the fair values at December 31, 2012. The significant assumptions used were: exercise
prices between $0.10 and $0.36; the Company’s stock price on December 31, 2012, $0.09; expected volatility of 55% - 75%;
risk free interest rate between 0.16% and 0.72%; and a remaining contract term between 5 months and 55 months.
The risk-free interest rate is based
on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of issuance for periods over the expected life of the derivative. Expected
volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected term of the derivative.
The decrease in fair value of the Company’s
derivative liabilities resulted in income of $1,637,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The income results primarily from
the passage of time and decreases in the Company’s stock price.

During 2011, as part of the amendments
to its CASTion Notes and 2010 Bridge Notes as discussed in Note 6, the Notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at a rate of $2.40 per share at any time at the discretion of the Noteholder. As discussed
in Note 7, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at any time.
The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock also contains anti-dilution provisions that allow for a reduction on the conversion price
in the event of a future financing at an exercise price lower than the conversion price of the Preferred Stock. The Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock also contains liquidation preferences to the holder. Because these provisions in the Series B Stock are not indexed
to the Company’s Common Stock, the value of these conversion features must be bifurcated and treated as derivative liabilities.
As a result, the Company recorded derivative liabilities totaling $4,306,000 in the first quarter of 2011.
The decrease in fair value of the Company’s
derivative liabilities resulted in income of $3,936,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The income results primarily from
the passage of time and decreases in the Company’s stock price.
Note 9: Related party transactions
The Company has an 85% ownership interest
in ThermoEnergy Power Systems, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TEPS”) for the purpose of transferring
the Company’s rights and interests in its pressurized oxycombustion technology. Alexander Fassbender, former Executive Vice
President and Chief Technology Officer, as the inventor of the technology, has a 7.5% ownership interest, and the remaining 7.5%
is owned by an unrelated third party. Accordingly, the Company records the value of the noncontrolling interest on the Company’s
Consolidated Balance Sheets, which totaled $2,000 and $6,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Company has employment agreements
with certain of its senior officers that specify base compensation, minimum annual increases and lump sum payment amounts in the
event of a change in control of the Company.
See Notes 4, 5 and 6 for additional
related party transactions.
Note 10: Income taxes
A valuation allowance equal to the
total of the Company's net deferred tax assets has been recognized for financial reporting purposes. The net changes in the valuation
allowance were increases of approximately $3.1 million and decreases of $2.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2012
and 2011, respectively. The Company's deferred tax liabilities are not significant.

At December 31, 2012, the Company has net operating loss
carryforwards, which expire in various amounts during 2013 through 2032, of approximately $58.5 million. The Internal
Revenue Code provides for limitations on the use of net operating loss carryforwards for acquired entities. The Company’s
annual limitation for the use of CASTion’s net operating loss carryforwards for periods prior to the date of acquisition
for income tax reporting purposes is approximately $300,000. As further discussed in Note 13,
the
Company has agreed, in conjunction with the Offer in Compromise accepted by the IRS in March 2011, that any net operating losses
sustained for the years ending December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012 will not be claimed as deductions under the provisions
of Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code except to the extent that such net operating losses exceed the amount of interest
and penalties abated, which totaled $2,263,000.
Note 11: Employee benefit plans
The Company has adopted an Employee
Stock Ownership Plan. However, as of December 31, 2012, the Plan had not been funded nor submitted to the Internal Revenue Service
for approval. The Company has a 401(k) Plan, but no employer contributions have been made to date.

Operating segments are identified as
components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available to the chief operating decision maker,
or decision-making group, in assessing performance and allocating resources. As stated in Note 1, the Company markets and develops
advanced municipal and industrial wastewater treatment and carbon reducing clean energy technologies. The Company currently generates
all of its revenues from the sale and application of its water treatment technologies. Revenues from its clean energy technologies
have been limited to grants received from governmental and other agencies for continued development. The Company’s efforts
to develop and commercialize its clean energy technologies are discussed in Note 4. Separate disclosure of financial information
related to the Company’s clean energy technologies is not required, as all operating activity is captured in the Company’s
joint venture. The financial information presented in these financial statements represents all the material financial information
related to the Company’s water treatment technologies as the sole reportable segment.

On March 25, 2011, the Company was
notified by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that it had accepted the Company’s Offer in Compromise with respect to its
tax liabilities relating to (i) employee tax withholding for all periods commencing with the quarter ended September 30, 2005
and continuing through September 30, 2009 and (ii) federal unemployment taxes (FUTA) for the years 2005 through 2008 that were
not paid by the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to the Offer in Compromise, it has agreed to satisfy
its delinquent tax liabilities by paying a total of $2,134,636 (representing the aggregate amount of tax due, without interest
or penalties). The Company made its final payment of $176,636 in January 2012. In connection with the Offer in Compromise, the
Company has agreed that any net operating losses sustained for the years ending December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012 will
not be claimed as deductions under the provisions of Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code except to the extent that such net
operating losses exceed the amount of interest and penalties abated. The IRS acceptance of the Offer in Compromise is conditioned,
among other things, on the Company filing and paying all required taxes for five tax years commencing on the date of the IRS acceptance.
Accrued payroll taxes, which includes
penalties and interest related to state taxing authorities, totaled $399,000 as of December 31, 2012. The Company continues to
work with the various state taxing authorities to settle its remaining payroll tax obligations.
On July 16, 2012, Andrew T. Melton,
the Company’s former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“Melton”), filed a Complaint in the
United States District Court, Eastern District of Arkansas alleging that his employment had been terminated in breach of his employment
agreement and claiming damages in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.2 million, including unpaid salary, reimbursement of
expenses, and other payments under his employment agreement. The Company is currently in the discovery process and intends to
vigorously defend this litigation.
The Company is involved from time to
time in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business. Judgments could be rendered or settlements entered that could adversely
affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period. The Company routinely assesses all of its litigation
and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability and records its best estimate of the ultimate
loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable.
Note 14: Subsequent Events
As discussed in Note 5, on March 4,
2013 the Company amended its Loan Agreement with C13 Thermo LLC, a related party, to extend the expiration date to the earlier
of (i) April 5, 2013 or (ii) one business day following the date the Company first draws against the irrevocable documentary letter
of credit.
On March 20, 2013, the Company’s

THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2013
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Organization and summary
of significant accounting policies
Nature of business
ThermoEnergy Corporation (“the
Company”) was incorporated in January 1988 for the purpose of developing and marketing advanced municipal and industrial
wastewater treatment and carbon reducing power generation technologies.
The Company’s
wastewater treatment systems are based on its proprietary Controlled Atmosphere Separation Technology (“CAST”) platform. The
Company’s patented and proprietary platform technology is combined with off-the-shelf technologies (the “Technologies”)
to provide systems that are inexpensive, easy to operate and reliable. The Company’s wastewater treatment systems have global
applications in hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) in the oil and gas industry, food and beverage processing, metal
finishing, pulp & paper, petrochemical, refining, microchip and circuit board manufacturing, heavy manufacturing and municipal
wastewater. The CAST platform technology is owned by the Company’s subsidiary, CASTion Corporation (“CASTion”).
The Company
also owns patents on technology for the combustion of coal at high pressure using pure oxygen (oxy-combustion) for clean, coal-fired
power generation while producing near zero air emissions and removing and capturing carbon dioxide in liquid form for sequestration
or beneficial reuse. This technology is intended to be used to build new or to retrofit old fossil fuel power plants. This technology
is held in the Company’s subsidiary, ThermoEnergy Power Systems, LLC (“TEPS”).
Principles of consolidation and
basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation. The 15% third-party ownership interest in TEPS is recorded as a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated
financial statements. Financial results for Unity Power Alliance (“UPA”) as a Joint Venture are accounted for under
the equity method, as discussed in Note 4.
Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to current year classifications.
The accompanying unaudited financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
The preparation of these unaudited
interim 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 financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2012
has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes
required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 of ThermoEnergy Corporation.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenues using
the percentage-of-completion method. Under this approach, revenue is earned in proportion to total costs incurred in relation
to total costs expected to be incurred. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and indirect costs related
to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation.
THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2013
(Unaudited)
Recognition of revenue and profit is
dependent upon a number of factors, including the accuracy of a variety of estimates made at the balance sheet date such as engineering
progress, materials quantities, the achievement of milestones, penalty provisions, labor productivity and cost estimates made.
Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, actual completion costs may vary from estimates. Changes in job performance,
job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized beginning in the period
in which they become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which the
estimated loss first becomes known.
Certain long-term contracts include
a number of different services to be provided to the customer. The Company records separately revenues, costs and gross profit
related to each of these services if they meet the contract segmenting criteria in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
605-35. This policy may result in different interim rates of profitability for each segment than if the Company had recognized
revenues using the percentage-of-completion method based on the project’s estimated total costs.
In circumstances when the Company cannot
estimate the final outcome of a contract, or when the Company cannot reasonably estimate revenue, the Company utilizes the percentage-of-completion
method based on a zero profit margin until more precise estimates can be made. If and when the Company can make more precise estimates,
revenues will be adjusted accordingly and recorded as a change in an accounting estimate.
Variable interest entities
The Company assesses whether its involvement
with another related entity constitutes a variable interest entity (“VIE”) through either direct or indirect variable
interest in that entity. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE, the Company must determine if it is the primary beneficiary (i.e.
the party that consolidates the VIE), in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of variable interest entities.
The Company qualitatively evaluates if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s based on whether the Company has (i) the
power to direct those matters that most significantly impacted the activities of the VIE; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses
or the right to receive benefits of the VIE. See Note 4 for further discussion of UPA as a variable interest entity.
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable are recorded at
their estimated net realizable value. Receivables related to the Company’s contracts have realization and liquidation periods
of less than one year and are therefore classified as current assets.
The Company maintains allowances for
specific doubtful accounts based on estimates of losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments and
records these allowances as a charge to general and administrative expense. The Company’s method for estimating its allowance
for doubtful accounts is based on judgmental factors, including known and inherent risks in the underlying balances, adverse situations
that may affect the customer’s ability to pay and current economic conditions. Amounts considered uncollectible are written
off based on the specific customer balance outstanding. The Company did not have any allowance for doubtful accounts as of March
31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower
of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method and consist exclusively of raw materials.
The Company evaluates its inventory
for excess quantities and obsolescence on a periodic basis. In preparing its evaluation, the Company looks at the expected
demand for its products for the next three to twelve months. Based on this evaluation, the Company records provisions
to ensure that inventory is appropriately stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at
cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful life of each asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method.
The Company evaluates long-lived assets based on estimated future undiscounted net cash flows or other fair value measures whenever
significant events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If that evaluation
indicates that an impairment has occurred, a charge is recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted cash
flows or fair values of the asset, whichever is more readily determinable.
THERMOENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2013
(Unaudited)
The Company recorded a loss of $131,000
in the first quarter of 2012 related to the disposal of a system previously used for pre-sales testing. This loss is included
in sales and marketing expense on its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.
Contingencies
The Company accrues for costs relating
to litigation, including litigation defense costs, claims and other contingent matters, including liquidated damage liabilities,
when such liabilities become probable and reasonably estimable. Such estimates may be based on advice from third parties or on
management’s judgment, as appropriate. Revisions to accruals are reflected in earnings (loss) in the period in which different
facts or information become known or circumstances change that affect the Company’s previous assumptions with respect to
the likelihood or amount of loss. Amounts paid upon the ultimate resolution of such liabilities may be materially different from
previous estimates and could require adjustments to the estimated liability to be recognized in the period such new information
becomes known.
Stock options
The Company accounts for stock options
in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.
This topic requires that the cost of all share-based payments to vendors and employees, including grants of employee stock options,
be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values on the measurement date, which is generally
the date of grant. Such cost is recognized over the vesting period of the awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing
model to estimate the fair value of “plain vanilla” stock option awards.
Fair value of financial instruments
and fair value measurements
The carrying amount of cash, accounts
receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, short-term borrowings and other current liabilities in the consolidated financial
statements approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s
convertible debt was $3,187,000 and $3,088,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and approximates its fair
value, as the interest rate on this debt approximates the interest rate of the Company’s recent borrowings. The Company’s
derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value.
The Company's liabilities carried at
fair value are categorized using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level
1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level
3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value
of the liabilities.
Net income (loss) per share
Basic
income (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders
(the numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (the denominator) during the reporting periods.
Fully diluted income per share is computed by increasing the denominator by the weighted average number of additional shares that
could have been outstanding from securities convertible into common stock, such as stock options and warrants (using the “treasury
stock” method), and convertible preferred stock and debt (using the “if-converted” method), unless the effect
on net income per share is antidilutive. Under the “if-converted” method, convertible instruments are assumed to have
been converted as of the beginning of the period or when issued, if later.
The computations of diluted net loss
per share do not include 333,169 and 414,291 options and warrants which were outstanding as of the three-month periods ended March
31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 2: Management's consideration
of going concern matters
The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate
continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial losses from operations in recent
years, and such losses have continued through the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. Furthermore, as discussed in Note 3,
the Company’s contract with the New York City Department of Environment Regulation (“NYCDEP”) was terminated
for convenience effective November 29, 2012.
At March 31, 2013, the Company had
cash of approximately $2.3 million, a decrease of approximately $2.4 million from December 31, 2012. The Company has incurred
net losses since inception, including a net loss of approximately $1.1 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013
and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $122 million at March 31, 2013.
In view of the matters described in
the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet
is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its
financing requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain present financing, and to succeed in its future operations.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts
or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
These uncertainties raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been
prepared on a going concern basis and as such do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management is actively pursuing commercial
contracts to generate operating revenue. Management has determined that the financial success of the Company is dependent upon
the Company’s ability to obtain profitability from contracts with financially sound third parties to pursue projects involving
the Technologies. In addition, management is considering opportunities to raise substantial funding through additional equity
or debt financing that will allow the Company to operate until it becomes cash flow positive from operations.
As more fully
described in Note 11, on April 5, 2013, the Company issued shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for the
entire principal and accrued interest amounts of the Company’s December 2011 Bridge Notes and the Company’s November
2012 Bridge Notes.
Note 3: Risks and Uncertainties
On August 22, 2012, the NYCDEP issued
a stop work order to the Company relative to its contract to install an Ammonia Removal Process (“ARP”) system at
the NYCDEP’s wastewater treatment facility in the 26
th
Ward. The NYCDEP terminated the contract for convenience,
effective November 29, 2012.
Upon notification of the contract termination,
the Company cancelled all orders from its major vendors. The Company ceased recognition of revenues as of November 29, 2012 and
has recorded all incremental costs as period costs on its Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company has billed approximately
$16.0 million to the NYCDEP related to this contract as of March 31, 2013. Of this amount, approximately $15.5 million has been
paid and approximately $536,000 was outstanding. The NYCDEP paid approximately $456,000 against the outstanding amounts due in
April 2013 and paid the remaining $80,000 in May 2013. The Company has accounts receivable of approximately $536,000, deposits
of $151,000, accrued contract costs of $80,000 and billings in excess of costs of approximately $4.9 million related to this contract
as of March 31, 2013.
The Company delivered all equipment,
including all material from third party vendors, to the NYCDEP during the first quarter of 2013. The Company believes its contractual
obligations under the agreement have been met, and the Company continues to work through the termination process with the NYCDEP.
While there may be additional billings or adjustments related to this termination process, the Company does not expect to incur
any additional expenses related to this project in future periods. Accordingly, the Company cannot determine a final outcome
at this time; however, the Company does not believe its exposure extends beyond the amounts reported on its Consolidated Balance
Sheet at March 31, 2013.
THERMOENERGY CORPORATION

Because of this contract termination,
the Company's revenues, expenses, and income will be adversely affected in future periods, as this contract represented approximately
73% of the Company's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Note 4: Joint Ventures
Babcock-Thermo Clean Combustion
LLC
On February 25, 2009, the Company’s
majority-owned subsidiary, TEPS, and Babcock Power Development, LLC (“BPD”), a subsidiary of Babcock Power, Inc.,
entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) establishing Babcock-Thermo Carbon Capture
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company now known as Babcock-Thermo Clean Combustion LLC (the “Joint Venture”) for
the purpose of developing and commercializing its pressurized oxy-combustion technology.
On March 2, 2012, TEPS entered into
a Dissolution Agreement with BPD to terminate the Limited Liability Company Agreement and dissolve the Joint Venture. The BTCC
Board of Managers is supervising the wind down and dissolution process, and the Company expects the Joint Venture to be dissolved
in the second quarter of 2013.
Unity Power Alliance LLC
On March 8, 2012, the Company announced
the formation of Unity Power Alliance LLC (“UPA”). UPA was formed with the intention to work with partners and stakeholders
to develop and commercialize its pressurized oxycombustion technology. On July 16, 2012, Itea S.p.A. (‘‘Itea”)
acquired a 50% ownership interest in UPA.
UPA is governed by a Board of Directors,
with half of the directors nominated by each of the Company and Itea. Administrative expenses of UPA are borne jointly by the
Company and Itea, and financing for development expenses will be obtained from third parties.
On June 20, 2012, the Company and Itea
entered into a License Agreement whereby the Company and the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, TEPS, and Itea granted
a non-exclusive, non-transferable royalty-free license to UPA to use their intellectual property relating to pressurized oxycombustion.
The licenses to UPA became effective upon Itea’s acquisition of its ownership interest in UPA. The License Agreement further
provides that, if UPA successfully obtains funding and project support to construct the pilot plant, the parties may grant licenses
of their respective intellectual property and know-how to each other or to third parties for the operation of power plants based
on such intellectual property and know-how, and royalties will be shared as defined in the License Agreement.

In September 2012, UPA was awarded
a $1 million Phase 1 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to help fund a project on a cost-sharing basis under a special DOE
program to advance technologies for efficient, clean coal power and carbon capture. As part of UPA's project, in October 2012,
the Company received a $900,000 contract from UPA to build a bench-scale “flameless” combustion reactor under the
grant. UPA and its subcontractors received contract definitization during the first quarter of 2013 and began to receive funding.
Accordingly, UPA has received funding totaling $170,000 related to this grant. The Company recorded revenues totaling $157,000
on a time and materials basis related to this contract in the first quarter of 2013.
In accordance with ASC 810,
Consolidation
,
the Company determined that it held a variable interest in UPA and that UPA was a variable-interest entity. However, the Company
has concluded that it is not required to consolidate the financial statements of UPA as of and for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2013. The Company reviewed the most significant activities of UPA and determined that because the Company shares the
power to direct the activities of UPA with Itea, it is not the primary beneficiary of UPA. Accordingly, the financial results
of UPA is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the Joint
Venture is a shortfall of $164,000 and $109,000 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and is classified as
Other Long Term Liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Project Financing Line of Credit
On October 4, 2012, the Company entered
into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with C13 Thermo LLC (the “Lender”), a related party whose
owners are related to an officer of the Company. Under this Loan Agreement, the Lender established a credit facility allowing
the Company to borrow up to $700,000 (the “Credit Facility”) to finance the fabrication and testing of an Ammonia
Reduction Process system utilizing the Company’s proprietary technology (the “Project”). The Company issued
to the Lender a promissory note in the principal amount of $700,000 (the “Note”). The Company borrowed approximately
$680,000 and $491,000 against this Credit Facility as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and the Company agreed
to reimburse legal fees of $34,000 to the Lender in 2013.
Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility
will not bear interest (except in the case of an event of default, in which case all amounts borrowed, together with all fees,
expenses and other amounts due, shall bear interest at the default rate of 8% per annum). Upon maturity of the Note, the Company
will be charged a commitment fee equal to 10% of the aggregate principal amount borrowed under the Credit Facility. The Credit
Facility expires, and all amounts due under the Note, together with all commitment fees incurred under the Loan Agreement, will
become due and payable, on the earlier of (i) March 4, 2013 or (ii) the date on which the Company first draws against an irrevocable
documentary letter of credit that has been issued for the Company’s benefit in connection with the Project. The Credit Facility
was amended in March 2013 to extend the expiration date to the earlier of (i) April 5, 2013 or (ii) one business day following
the date the Company first draws against the irrevocable documentary letter of credit. The Company may repay the Note in whole
or in part at any time without premium or penalty. The Credit Facility is secured by all of the Company’s assets. The Credit
Facility contains certain non-financial covenants, and the Company believes it is in compliance with these covenants as of March
31, 2013.
On April 5, 2013 the Company repaid
in full all outstanding principal and accrued commitment fees related to this Credit Facility.
November 2012 Bridge Note Financing
On November 30, 2012 the Company entered
into Bridge Loan Agreements with six of its principal investors pursuant to which the Investors agreed to make bridge loans to
the Company of $3.7 million in exchange for 8% Promissory Notes (the “November 2012 Bridge Notes”). The
November 2012 Bridge Notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per year and are due and payable on April 15, 2013.

December 2011 Convertible Promissory
Notes
On December 2, 2011 the Company entered
into Bridge Loan Agreements with four of its principal investors pursuant to which the Investors agreed to make bridge loans to
the Company of $1.25 million in exchange for 12.5% Promissory Notes (the “December 2011 Bridge Notes”). The
December 2011 Bridge Notes bear interest at the rate of 12.5% per year and were due and payable on December 31, 2012. The entire
unpaid principal amount, together with all interest then accrued and unpaid under each December 2011 Bridge Note, is convertible
into shares of a future series of Preferred Stock.
The December 2011 Bridge Notes contain
other conventional provisions, including the acceleration of repayment obligations upon the occurrence of certain specified Events
of Default.
On November 30, 2012, in conjunction
with the issuance of the November 2012 Bridge Notes (see Note 5), the investors who participated in the December 2011 Bridge Note
financing agreed to extend the maturity date such that the December 2011 Bridge Notes are due on demand on or after January 31,
2013. The Company accounted for this amendment as a debt modification.
As further discussed in Note 11, on
April 5, 2013 the Investors exchanged these December 2011 Bridge Notes for shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock and Warrants.
Roenigk 2012 Convertible Promissory
Note
On June 20, 2012, the Company issued
a Convertible Promissory Note dated April 1, 2012 in the principal amount of $1,877,217 in exchange for a 5% Convertible Promissory
Note issued on March 21, 2007 and due March 21, 2013 and a 5% Convertible Promissory Note issued on March 7, 2008 and due March
7, 2013 (the “Old Notes”). The Note bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum from April 1, 2012 through May 31,
2012, then bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum until the maturity date, March 31, 2014. The principal amount and accrued
interest on the Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share at any time at the election
of the holder. Interest on the Note is payable semi-annually. The Company may, at its discretion, defer any scheduled interest
payment until the maturity date of the Note upon payment of a $5,000 deferral fee. The Company added $79,000 of accrued interest
to the principal balance of the Note during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The fair value of options granted during
the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate is based
on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods over the expected life of the option. The expected
option life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration
to vesting schedules and the Company’s historical exercise patterns. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility
of the Company’s common stock over the expected life of the option granted.
Option expense for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was calculated using an expected forfeiture rate of 5%.
A summary of the Company’s stock
option activity and related information for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 follows:

The weighted average fair value of
options granted was approximately $0.07 and $0.18 per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The weighted average fair value of options vested was approximately $144,000 and $141,000 for the three-month periods ended March
31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Exercise prices for options outstanding
as of March 31, 2013 ranged from $0.054 to $1.50. The weighted average remaining contractual life of those options was approximately
8.1 years at March 31, 2013. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options vested and exercisable was approximately
5.8 years at March 31, 2013.
As of March 31, 2013, there was approximately
$1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under
the Company's stock option plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The Company
recognizes stock-based compensation on the graded-vesting method.

Note 8: Derivative Liabilities
The Company has periodically issued
Common Stock and Common Stock purchase warrants with anti-dilution provisions as additional consideration with certain debt instruments.
Additionally, certain debt instruments have been convertible into shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock and have anti-dilution provisions and liquidation
preferences. Because these instruments contain provisions that are not indexed to the Company’s stock, the Company is required
to record these as derivative instruments.
Liabilities measured at fair value
on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 are as follows: (in thousands)

Note 9: Segments
Operating segments are identified as
components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available to the chief operating decision maker,
or decision-making group, in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company has two operating segments: the design
and manufacture of wastewater treatment systems and the development of carbon reducing clean energy technologies. The Company
currently generates almost all of its revenues from the sale and application of its water treatment technologies. Revenues from
its clean energy technologies have been limited to grants received from governmental and other agencies for continued development.
In 2009, the Company established BTCC,
a joint venture with Babcock Power Development, LLC, for the purpose of developing and commercializing the Company’s clean
energy technology. This joint venture is currently in the dissolution process. In March 2012, the Company established UPA to work
with partners and stakeholders to develop and commercialize its pressurized oxycombustion technology, and in July 2012, Itea acquired
a 50% ownership interest in UPA, making it a joint venture.
As discussed in Note 4, the Company
received a $900,000 contract from UPA to build a bench-scale “flameless” combustion reactor under UPA’s grant
from the Department of Energy. The Company recorded revenues totaling $157,000 and cost of sales totaling $123,000 related to
this contract in the first quarter of 2013. All other financial information presented in these financial statements relates to
the Company’s water treatment technologies.
The Company’s operations are
currently conducted solely in the United States. While the Company has begun marketing and selling its products in South America,
Asia and Europe, the Company has not generated any revenues from such activities. The Company will continue to evaluate how its
business is managed and, as necessary, adjust the segment reporting accordingly.
Note 10: Commitments and contingencies
On July 16, 2012, Andrew T. Melton,
the Company’s former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“Melton”), filed a Complaint in the
United States District Court, Eastern District of Arkansas alleging, among other things, wrongful termination of employment. Mr.
Melton is claiming damages in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.2 million, including unpaid salary, reimbursement of expenses,
and other payments under his employment agreement. The Company is currently in the discovery process and intends to vigorously
defend this litigation.
The Company is involved from time to
time in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business. Judgments could be rendered or settlements entered that could adversely
affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period. The Company routinely assesses all of its litigation
and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability and records its best estimate of the ultimate
loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable.

Note 11: Subsequent events
On April 5, 2013, following the filing
of the Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Company effected the following transactions:
|
·
|
Investors
in the Company’s
December 2011 Bridge
Notes and the Company’s
November 2012 Bridge
Notes exchanged
such Notes with
an aggregate principal
amount of $4,950,000
plus accrued interest
totaling $314,177
for a total of
6,926,553 shares
of the Company’s
Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock
and Warrants for
the purchase of
a total of 69,265,530
shares of Common
Stock.
|
The effective price of the
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was $0.76 per share (or $0.076 per equivalent share of Common Stock). The Warrants entitle
the holders to purchase, at any time on or before April 5, 2018 , shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.114 per share.
The Warrants contains other conventional terms, including provisions for adjustment in the Exercise Price and/or the securities
issuable upon exercise in the event of certain specified extraordinary corporate events, such as stock splits, combinations, and
stock dividends.
|
·
|
As
additional consideration
to the Investors
for their participation
in the Bridge Note
issuances mentioned
above, for each
$100 of principal
and interest converted
into Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock
and Warrants, each
Investor exchanged
41.67 shares of
Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock
held for 131.58
additional shares
of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock
(the number of
shares of Series
C Convertible Preferred
Stock that would
be purchased for
$100 at a purchase
price of $0.76
per share). Accordingly,
the Company issued
an aggregate of
6,926,553 additional
shares of Series
C Convertible Preferred
Stock in exchange
for an aggregate
of 2,193,414 previously-outstanding
shares of Series
B Convertible Preferred
Stock. The additional
shares of Series
C Convertible Preferred
Stock were issued
without Warrant
coverage. The shares
of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock
surrendered were
cancelled and are
no longer outstanding.
|
|
·
|
Because
the effective issuance
price of the Shares
was less than $0.10
per Common Share-equivalent,
the Company issued
to those Investors
who purchased shares
of the Company’s
Common Stock and
Warrants at closings
on July 11, 2012,
August 9, 2012
and October 9,
2012 (the “PIPE”),
for no additional
consideration,
a sufficient number
of additional shares
of Common Stock
so that the effective
price per share
of Common Stock
paid by the PIPE
Investors equals
the effective issuance
price of the shares
of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock
on an as-converted
basis ($0.076 per
share). Accordingly,
the Company issued
a total of 9,274,364
shares of Common
Stock to the PIPE
Investors.
|
|
·
|
In
2011, as an inducement
to certain holders
of Common Stock
Purchase Warrants
to exercise such
warrants or to
surrender such
warrants in exchange
for shares of Common
Stock, the Company
agreed to allow
such holders to
exchange shares
of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock
for an equal number
of shares of Series
B-1 Convertible
Preferred Stock.
On April 5, 2013,
the Company issued
an aggregate of
6,031,577 shares
of Common Stock
as consideration
for the surrender
of Warrants for
the purchase of
an aggregate of
39,205,234 shares.
Accordingly, the
Company issued
an aggregate of
8,839,500 shares
of Series B-1 Convertible
Preferred Stock
in exchange for
an equal number
of shares of Series
B Convertible Preferred
Stock.
