TERRA SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the
Company, and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited financial statements contain all necessary adjustments for fair
presentation, consisting of normal recurring adjustments except as disclosed
herein.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been
condensed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission; therefore, certain information and disclosures generally included in
financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements
should be read in connection with the Company's annual financial statements
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB as of December 31, 2006.
The financial position and results of operations of the interim periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2007.
NOTE 2 - BUSINESS CONDITION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred net losses of $3,101,917
and $1,142,994, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, the Company's losses
accumulated from inception totaled $22,292,731. These factors, among others,
indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a
reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate
sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain
additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain successful
operations.
The Company's management is in the process of negotiating various
agreements to perform further research on and the development of three primary
technologies. These include pneumatic conveyance systems to handle bulk
materials in industrial research and processing applications, clean
metallurgical coke technologies to produce high grade coke from an assortment of
quality carbon fuels through a process expected to qualify for the Internal
Revenue Code Section 45K tax credits, and carbon black agglomeration to
facilitate bulk handling and processing. Management intends to use equity and
debt financing as needed to supplement the cash flows that potentially could be
generated through the successful negotiation of agreements. However, there can
be no guarantee that these plans will be successful.
NOTE 3 - BASIC AND DILUTED PER SHARE
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
loss per share is calculated to give effect to potentially issuable common
shares except during loss periods when those potentially issuable common shares
would decrease the loss per share. For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2007, the Company had 12,500,000 stock options and 912,867 warrants,
compared to 4,000,000 stock options and 812,867 warrants for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006, that were not included in the computation of
diluted net loss per common share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive,
thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.

disclaim any obligation or intention to update any forward-looking statements.
General
Terra Systems was incorporated in Utah on February 17, 1996, and is a
development-stage company. We are pursuing three primary businesses. The first
of these is the development and commercialization of our patented pneumatic
accelerator. This device is a gas linear particle accelerator that conveys and
processes bulk materials at high velocity in a particle isolate state, using air
as the medium of movement. The traditional and more costly medium for processing
bulk materials is water. Our technology operates efficiently at ambient
temperatures and at low pressures and does not use water. We believe that most
if not all organic and inorganic bulk materials used in basic industries (such
as coal, gypsum, black sands, corn, rice, and wheat) can be more economically
separated and classified by our dry-process technology. This capability
facilitates a number of associated procedures, including: drying,
micropulverizing, mixing, forming, conveying, and loading. In addition, bulk
materials can be beneficiated in important ways including moisture reduction,
ash reduction, Btu enhancement, and electro-customization. Our system can
perform multiple tasks, needs less maintenance, requires no chemical additives,
and can improve the surrounding environmental quality.
The second business we are pursuing is clean coke technology. We have
obtained the worldwide license to Combustion Resources LLC's ("Combustion
Resources") clean coke technology. We believe that the carbon coke product
produced by this process qualifies for tax credits under IRC Section 45K. The
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the "Energy Act") Section 1321 extended the date that
facilities placed in service will qualify for this tax credit. We worked with
the College of Eastern Utah to apply for and obtain an award of a Federal Center
of Excellence grant under Section 404 of the Energy Act. This award will be used
to further our development of this technology.
The third business we are pursuing is the agglomeration of carbon
products. The material agglomerated may or may not be previously processed
utilizing our patented pneumatic accelerator technology. Initially, we are
agglomerating carbon black, a very fine-sized material that poses significant
material handling issues in its unagglomerated state.
8
Our success and ability to compete will be dependent in part on the
protection of our existing and potential patents, trademarks, trade names,
service marks, trade secrets, and other proprietary rights. Thus, a majority of
our research and development efforts have been focused on product development,
testing, and patent application.
We seek to continue developing our products internally through research
and development, or if appropriate, through strategic partnerships. We expect,
however, that if we can purchase or license products, services, or technologies
from third parties at a reasonable cost, we will do so in order to avoid the
time and expense involved in developing these products, services, or
technologies.
Results of Operations
Nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2006:
From inception through September 30, 2007, we have incurred losses
totaling $22,308,443 and generated revenues of $777,428 from operations. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we had sales revenues of $159,286.
This factor, among others, raises substantial doubt concerning our ability to
continue as a going concern. We intend to use capital and debt financing as
needed to supplement the cash flows that we expect will be provided by licensing
agreements. Our primary source of capital historically has been through the sale
of our securities.
Realization of sales of our products and services is vital to
operations. We may not be able to continue as a going concern without realizing
additional sales or raising additional capital. We cannot guarantee that we will
be able to compete successfully or that the competitive pressures we may face
will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition. Additionally, a superior competitive product could
force us out of business.
While we have been able to generate some testing and product
development revenues since inception, we have been limited in the scope of
potential clients that could be contacted until our patent application was
approved. In January 2001, we received notification that we had been awarded a
patent on our Pneumatic Accelerator. Since then we have been pursuing project
development contracts and refining our design of the Pneumatic Accelerator.
In addition, during the first quarter, we were able to license the
"Clean Coke Technology" of Combustion Resources LLC ("Combustion Resources").
The license agreement requires that the Company begin paying a $300,000 per year
minimum royalty beginning in the year 2010. The royalty is set as a fixed
percentage of the net operating profit realized from the licensed Clean Coke
Technology, subject to a cap of $3 million in any one year. The Company believes
that the Clean Coke Technology can be utilized to produce coke that qualifies
under IRC Section 45K for the tax credit from alternative fuels provided a plant
utilizing the Clean Coke Technology is built and placed in service by December
31, 2009. The Section 45K credit is subject to reduction as the Federal
reference price of oil increases.
Combustion Resources, the College of Eastern Utah's Western Energy
Training Center, and the Company were successful in obtaining a Federal Center
of Excellence grant to develop the process controls for the system at its pilot
plant (see below) in Price, Utah.
Also during the current year, we were contracted by Combustion
Resources, and have worked with them to build and operate a pilot briquetting
plant in Price, Utah. The pilot plant has a theoretical capacity of 1 ton per
hour. The plant has been used to agglomerate carbon black. Carbon black is a
very fine-sized material that is difficult to handle in its unagglomerated
state. The plant has produced 162 tons of agglomerated carbon black to-date, all
9
of which has been shipped to a major industrial customer for testing at its
production plant. The Company's revenue for the quarter and year has been
generated from this activity. Until the results of the test are known, the pilot
plant will be utilized to develop the Clean Coke Technology process controls
mentioned above.
Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was
$3,117,629, compared to a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
of $1,142,994. The net loss was attributable to lower than expected revenues
from sales of our products and services. Our expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, were approximately $3,163,875 of which approximately 97%
were general and administrative expenses. Our expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, were approximately $1,143,660, of which approximately 91%
were general and administrative expenses. The increase in general and
administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was due
to the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 stock options
valued at approximately $2,180,608 for services. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, depreciation and amortization expense was $6,398, compared
to depreciation and amortization expense of $6,399 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006.
Three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2006:
Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2007, was
$598,556, compared to a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2006,
of $344,274. The net loss was attributable to lower than expected revenues from
sales of our products and services. Our expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2007, were approximately $597,954, of which approximately 96% were
general and administrative. Our expenses for the three months ended September
30, 2006 were approximately $344,274, of which approximately 91% were general
and administrative expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2007,
depreciation and amortization expense was $2,132, compared to depreciation and
amortization expense of $2,133 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Since inception, we have realized minimal revenues while incurring
normal fixed overhead and debt service costs. This operating trend is projected
to continue for at least the remaining period of fiscal 2007.
Future Business
We see opportunities for our technology and business in an array of
large industries, including power generation, agriculture, mining,
environmental, construction, ceramics, and materials transportation. We
anticipate that we will generate revenues through the sale of our proprietary
equipment, fees, royalties, and profit sharing from licensing of our technology.
Besides the three primary businesses noted above, the Company is also
pursuing potential energy projects through its subsidiary Mountain Island
Energy, LLC, and its joint venture with United Fund Advisors, LLC, in Soda
Springs, Idaho. Wind resource data is being collected at this site as part of
the process of determining the feasibility of an approximate ten megawatt wind
energy project.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Given our current negative cash flows, it will be difficult for Terra
Systems to continue as a going concern. It will be necessary to raise additional
funds or reduce cash expenditures. Management anticipates generating cash by
issuing more equity and incurring debt.
As mentioned in our audited financial statements included with our
annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, our audited
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we
will continue as a going concern. Our product line is limited and it has been
necessary to rely upon financing from the sale of our equity securities to
10
sustain operations. Additional financing will be required if we are to continue
as a going concern. If additional financing cannot be obtained, we may be
required to scale back or discontinue operations. Even if additional financing
is available there can be no assurance that it will be on terms favorable to us.
In any event, this additional financing will result in immediate and possible
substantial dilution to existing shareholders.
