Item 1. Business.

 

Our History

 

Enviro Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Idaho on October 19, 1964, under the name Idaho Silver, Inc. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Florida Precision Aerospace, Inc., a Florida corporation (“FPA”), was incorporated on February 26, 1993. Effective November 10, 2017 we filed Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation changing the Company’s name from Enviro Voraxial Technology, Inc. to “Enviro Technologies, Inc.”.

 

General

 

The Company developed and currently manufactures the patented Voraxial ® Separator (“Voraxial ® Separator” or “Voraxial ® ”) pursuant to the agreements discussed below. The Voraxial ® Separator is a proprietary technology now owned by Schlumberger (as defined below) that efficiently separates large volumes of liquid/liquid, liquid/solids or liquid/liquid/solids fluid mixtures with distinct specific gravities. Per the agreements we signed with Schlumberger, we continue to manufacture the technology for Schlumberger for the oil and gas industry and have a non-exclusive license to pursue other industries independent of Schlumberger, which include mining, sewage, wastewater as well as other markets. We have rebranded the technology as V-Inline for other industries.

 

On March 13, 2017, we entered into a Technology Purchase Agreement with Schlumberger Technology Corporation, a Texas corporation, Schlumberger Canada Limited, a Canadian entity, and Schlumberger B.V., an entity organized under the laws of the Netherlands (collectively, “Schlumberger”) which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on May 31, 2017 and completed on June 8, 2017. Under the agreement we sold our intellectual property (the “Purchased Intellectual Property”), substantially consisting of the Voraxial patents, marks, software and copyrights, to Schlumberger in consideration of $4,000,000, of which $3,000,000 was paid at closing and the balance was paid in August 2018 upon the completion of both: (i) the complete transfer of the intellectually property to Schlumberger; and (ii) the provision to transfer information, assets and services to Schlumberger.

 

We utilized a portion of the proceeds from this transaction to pay most of our outstanding debt and are using the balance for general working capital. We are also using some of the proceeds to buy additional manufacturing equipment to meet potential future sales.

 

As part of the agreement, Schlumberger granted us a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free licenses (the “Grant Back Licenses”), to make, use, sell, offer for sale, and import products and processes embodying the Purchase Intellectual Property outside the oil and gas market. Under the terms of the agreement, we can no longer use the tradename Voraxial. We branded the technology licensed to us the “V-Inline”. Our management believes that the Grant Back Licenses can potentially provide additional revenues through the sale of V-inline Separators outside the oil and gas industry, including, but not limited to mining, sewage and industrial wastewater.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Technology Purchase Agreement FPA entered into a Framework Agreement on June 8, 2017 (the “Supply Agreement”) with Cameron Solutions, Inc. (“Cameron Solutions”), a Houston, Texas-based company and affiliate of Schlumberger engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of equipment used in the oil and gas industry. Under the terms of the three-year Supply Agreement, FPA is the exclusive supplier to Cameron Solutions of certain Voraxial series products for use in the oil and gas industry. Sales will be made from time to time in accordance with the terms of purchase orders. The Supply Agreement is cancellable by Cameron Solutions upon 15 days’ notice if we fail to meet delivery or performance schedules or breaches any of the terms of the agreement, including the warranties. Cameron Solutions may also cancel the Supply Agreement without notice in the event we become insolvent or commit any act of bankruptcy. The Supply Agreement contains customary indemnification and confidentiality provisions. There are no assurances that we will generate material revenues under the Grant Back Licenses or Supply Agreement. There are no minimum purchase requirements for Cameron Solutions under the Supply Agreement.

 

For a period of three years following the closing of the Technology Purchase Agreement, the Company and our officers and directors (Raynard Veldman and John Di Bella), have agreed to not participate or cause participation in the oil-and-gas market in relation to phase or constituent sensing or separation which is defined as, liquid-liquid, liquid-solid or liquid-gas separation and

  2  

 

gas or liquid sensing, including all product lines and services related thereto and including the Voraxial product line and services, except to the extent necessary to: (i) repair or service, but not remanufacture, any goods the Company sold to third persons prior to closing; (ii) fulfill, on or after closing, any customer obligation; or (iii) comply with any term or condition of the agreement.

 

We received an order from a utility company for multiple V-Inline Separators to separate solids and oil from their wastewater stream. The V-Inline Separators will be used to process and separate oil and solids from a flow of about 120 gallons per minute. The System will include different technologies with the heart of the system being comprised of two V 2000 Separators working in parallel with a third V-Inline being utilized to further dewater the reject lines from the System. We anticipate shipping the system in the third quarter 2019.

 

Separation Technology - The Grant Back License and Supply Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Technology Purchase Agreement, the Company signed a Supply Agreement to manufacture the Voraxial Separator for Schlumberger for a period of 3 years and a Grant Back License to sell the technology (branded as V-Inline) in other markets outside of the oil and gas markets. The V-Inline Separator is a continuous flow turbo machine that generates a strong centrifugal force, a vortex, capable of separating light and heavy liquids, such as oil and water, or any other combination of liquids and solids at extremely high flow rates. As the fluid passes through the machine, the V-Inline Separator accomplishes this separation through the creation of a vortex. In liquid/liquid and liquid/solid mixtures, this vortex causes the heavier compounds to gravitate to the outside of the flow and the lighter elements to move to the center where an inner core is formed. The liquid stream processed by the machine is divided into separate streams of heavier and lighter liquids and solids. As a result of this process, separation is achieved.

 

The benefits of the V-Inline Separator include:

 

- High volume / small footprint

 

- No Pressure drop requirement

 

- High G force

 

- Treats a wide range of flows, even slugging flows

 

- Handles fluctuation in flow rates without any adjustments

 

- Handles fluctuation in contaminates without any adjustments

 

- Separation of 2 or 3 components simultaneously

 

- Non-clogging - open rotor assembly

 

- Low maintenance with ease of operation and installation

 

- Can operate dry

 

- Since there is no pressure drop, there is very little wear caused by sand

 

The V-Inline Separator is a self-contained, non-clogging device that can be powered by an electric motor, diesel engine or by hydraulic power generation. Further, its scalability allows it to be utilized in a variety of industries and to process various amounts of liquid. The following are the various sizes and the corresponding capacity range:

 

Model   Diameter   Capacity Range
Number   Size   Gallons Per Minute
  V1000   1 inch 3 -5
  V2000   2 inches 20 -70
  V4000   4 inches 100 -500
  V8000   8 inches 1,000 -3,500
             

 

We believe that if sales of this technology by Schlumberger materialize in the oil and gas markets, we will have the resources and opportunity under the Grant Back Licenses to pursue other industries on a cost-effective basis, including: mining, municipal wastewater treatment, industrial wastewater, and numerous other industrial production and environmental remediation processes. As clean water becomes less available to the ever-increasing world population, this technology may become more valuable.

The Market

 

The need for effective and cost efficient wastewater treatment and separation technology is global in scale. Moreover, virtually every industry requires some type of separation process either during the manufacturing process, prior to treatment or discharge of wastewater into the environment, for general clean up, or emergency response capability. Separation processes, however, are largely unknown to the average consumer. These processes are deeply integrated in almost all industrial processes from oil to wastewater to manufacturing. Management believes that the separation technology has applications in most, if not all major separation industries. The unique characteristics of the technology allow it to be utilized either as a stand-alone unit or within an existing system to provide a more efficient and cost effective way to handle the separation needs of the customer. We believe the separation technology can result in a cost savings and other benefits to the customer. These benefits result in and include:

 

A reduction in water and energy usage,
Requires no pressure drop to perform separation,
Less space needed to implement the Voraxial Separator, the Voraxial Separator weights less than existing systems,
A reduction time to process and separate the fluids, allowing the customer to be more efficient,
Creation of more efficient and faster process to treat water to increase the overall productivity of the end-user,
Fewer employees needed to operate the system, and
Reduction of ongoing maintenance and servicing costs.

 

We believe that this separation technology is a unique front-end solution for the separation industry that can offer increased productivity while reducing the physical space and energy required to operate the unit. These advantages translate into the potential for substantial operating cost efficiencies that would increase the profitability of the solution’s end user. The unique characteristic to conduct separation without a pressure loss allows the unit to be installed in locations other technologies cannot. For instance, another separation technology called a hydrocyclone requires a significant pressure loss to perform separation.

 

As environmental regulations, both domestically and internationally, have become more stringent, companies have been required to more effectively treat their wastewater prior to discharge. We believe the Grant Back License offers a great opportunity for the Company as the separation technology can be utilized in most separation applications to significantly increase the efficiency of the separation processes while simultaneously reduce the cost to the end-user.

 

Manufacturing

 

We manufacture and assemble the products at our Fort Lauderdale, Florida facilities.

 

Sources and availability of raw materials

 

The materials needed to manufacture the components of the products we sell, including the Separation Technology, have been provided by leading companies in the precision equipment industry. We do not have any long term contracts with any supplier. We do not anticipate any shortage of component parts.

 

Inventory

 

We maintain a limited inventory of finished parts until we receive a customer order. Most of our inventory is comprised of raw materials, work in process and finished Separator components that can be used for future sales.

 

Marketing

 

Prior to the Technology Purchase Agreement, Management developed relationships with oil service companies and representatives to promote the technology to oil industry customers. Since the Technology Purchase Agreement, we have focused our resources to develop a strong rapport with Schlumberger, which includes scaling up our manufacturing capabilities. In addition, we started to pursue projects in industries outside of the oil and gas market, which resulted in a purchase order from a utility customer. We started to market the V-Inline to companies outside of the oil and gas industry. This process is slower than anticipated as the sales from Schlumberger have not met initial management expectations thus far. We anticipated using the revenues from Schlumberger to invest in new applications and industries for the V-Inline. As these sales did not

  4  

 

materialize as timely as we had planned, the marketing activity in other industries has been slow. The Company does not currently have plans to present at tradeshows in 2019.

 

Intellectual property

 

Under the Technology Purchase Agreement, we sold the Purchased Intellectual Property. We currently hold no patents.

 

Product liability

 

Our business exposes us to possible claims of personal injury, death or property damage, which may result from the failure, or malfunction of any component or subassembly manufactured or assembled by us. We have product liability insurance. However, any product liability claim made against us may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in light of our poor financial condition, losses and limited revenues. We have also obtained directors and officers, and general insurance coverage.

 

Competition

 

We are subject to competition from other manufacturing facilities who have greater manufacturing capacity, which allows them to utilize economy of scale to reduce cost. We are also subject to competition from a number of companies who have greater experience, research abilities, engineering capability and financial resources than we have to market and sell separation technology. Although we believe the separation technology offers applications which accomplish better or similar results on a more cost-effective basis than existing products, other products have, in some instances, attained greater market and regulatory acceptance.

 

Employees

 

We currently have seven employees. All of our employees work full-time. None of our employees are members of a union. We believe that our relationship with our employees is favorable. We intend to add additional employees in the upcoming year related to manufacturing and sales.

 

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

 

Our independent auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our independent auditors have included in their audit report an explanatory paragraph that states that our continuing losses from operations raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have not yet generated significant revenues from the Supply Agreement or Grant Back License. There is no assurance that the Transaction Purchase Agreement will generate sufficient revenues and income, nor is there any assurance that we will be able to leverage the Grant Back License and generate sufficient revenues from other industries. We have limited historical financial data and operating results with which to evaluate our business and our prospects under these agreements. Although we achieved operating income in 2017 due to the sale of our proprietary technology, we will continue to incur net losses until we can produce sufficient revenues to cover our costs. At December 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $15,485,658 including a net loss of $496,864 for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, we have a working capital deficiency of $566,391 as of December 31, 2018.

 

Our ability to generate future revenues will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including competitive efforts and general economic trends. In addition, there are no assurances that we will generate material or significant revenues under the Supply Agreement or Grant Back License. Due to these factors, we cannot anticipate with any degree of certainty that we will be able to sustain or increase our profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

 

We have been limited by insufficient capital, and we may continue to be so limited.

 

In the past, we have lacked the required capital to market the Voraxial Separator. Our inability to raise the funding or to otherwise finance our capital needs could adversely affect our financial condition and our results of operations, and could prevent us from implementing our business plan. We may seek to raise capital through public and private equity offerings, debt financing or collaboration, and strategic alliances. Such financing may not be available when we need it or may not be available on terms that are favorable to us. If we raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities, your ownership interest will be

  5  

 

diluted and the terms of the financing may adversely affect your holdings or rights as a stockholder. If we fail to raise additional funds when needed, or do not have sufficient cash flows from sales, we may be required to scale back or cease operations, sell or liquidate our assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection.

 

We currently rely on a limited number of customers for our revenues.

 

Revenues from two customers accounted for approximately 98% of total revenues during 2018 and revenues from two customers accounted for approximately 92% of total revenues during 2017. We do not have any contracts with minimum guaranteed orders with these customers. If these customers fail to order additional products or we are unable to attract new customers, it could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are dependent upon the Supply Agreement and Grant Back License Agreement which have generated limited revenues to date.

 

Our Supply Agreement and Grant Back License Agreement are important to our future success. To date we have limited revenues under such agreements.  Furthermore, these agreements are non-exclusive and may be terminated if we fail to comply with the terms of such agreements. Failure to generate significant revenues under these agreements or termination of either agreement could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

 

Our market is subject to intense competition. If we are unable to compete effectively, our product may be rendered non-competitive or obsolete.

 

We are engaged in a segment of the water filtration industry that is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Many large companies, academic institutions, governmental agencies, and other public and private research organizations are pursuing the development of technology that can be used for the same purposes as the V-Inline. We face, and expect to continue to face, intense and increasing competition, as new products enter the market and advanced technologies become available. We believe that a significant number of products are currently under development and will become available in the future that may address the water filtration segment of the market. If other products are successfully developed, it may be better received by the market or introduced before the V-Inline.

 

Our competitors' products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any of our products. Many of our competitors have:

 

significantly greater financial, technical and human resources than we have and may be better equipped to discover, develop, manufacture and commercialize products; and

 

more extensive experience in marketing water treatment products.

 

Competitive products may render the Voraxial obsolete or noncompetitive.

 

We are dependent on key personnel.

 

We are dependent upon the availability and the continued performance of the services of John A. DiBella. The loss of the services of John A. DiBella could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, the availability of skilled personnel is extremely important to our growth strategy and our failure to attract and retain such personnel could have a material, adverse effect on us. We do not currently maintain any key man life insurance covering Mr. DiBella or any of our employees.

 

Our operations are subject to governmental approvals and regulations and environmental compliance.

 

Our operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state, and local laws and substantial regulation by government agencies, including the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States Occupational Safety and Health administration (OSHA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Among other matters, these agencies regulate the operation, handling, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials used by us during the normal course of our operations, govern the health and safety of our employees and certain standards and licensing requirements for our aerospace components that we contract manufacture. We are subject to significant compliance burden from this extensive regulatory framework, which may substantially increase our operational costs.

 

  6  

 

We believe that we have been and are in compliance with environmental requirements and believe that we have no liabilities under environmental requirements. Further, we have not spent any funds specifically on compliance with environmental laws. However, some risk of environmental liability is inherent in the nature of our business, and we might incur substantial costs to meet current or more stringent compliance, cleanup, or other obligations pursuant to environmental requirements in the future. This could result in a material adverse effect to our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our business has a substantial risk of product liability claims. If we are unable to obtain appropriate levels of insurance, a product liability claim against us could adversely affect our business.

 

Our business exposes us to possible claims of personal injury, death, or property damage, which may result from the failure, or malfunction of any component or subassembly manufactured or assembled by us. While we have product liability insurance, any product liability claim made against us may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations in light of our poor financial condition, losses and limited revenues.

 

We have received a substantial deposit from a customer which has filed for bankruptcy.

 

In January 2019, our customer in the utility industry filed for bankruptcy protection. We retained counsel to review our contract and the bankruptcy filing. As of March 29, 2019, our counsel does not believe this bankruptcy filing will negatively affect the purchase order we received. However, if the customer were to cancel the order or under bankruptcy law we were required to return the deposit, then our business would be adversely effected.

 

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

 

None.

 

Item 2. Properties.

 

In December 2018, the Company entered into a three (3) year lease for an office and manufacturing facility located at 821 NW 57 th Place, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309. The lease is approximately $4,839 per month. The lease has a one-time renewal option for three years and an increased base rent of 3%. The Company has the option to terminate the lease with three months’ notice.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

 

On or about October 23, 2017, a claim was filed in the 17 th Judicial Circuit Court in and for Broward County in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by the plaintiff, Industrial and Oilfield Procurement Services, LLC, against our company.  The case involves an alleged breach of contract between the parties relating to the purchase and sale of a Voraxial unit in 2015. The plaintiff has demanded a refund and damages. We are defending this action, as we believe this claim is without merit.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Not applicable.

PART II.

 

Item 5. Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “EVTN”.

 

The last sale price of our common stock as reported on the OTCPink on March 26, 2019, was $0.04 per share. As of March 26, 2019, there were approximately 800 record owners of our common stock.

We caution that these statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements that these forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative, and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to in such forward-looking statements.

 

Year ended December 31, 2018 compared to year ended December 31, 2017

 

Overview

 

2018 continued to be a transitional period for us as we finalized the sale of our intellectual property to Schlumberger through the Technology Purchase Agreement. We shipped multiple units to Schlumberger, including models of the V2000, V4000 and V8000. We are focusing our efforts and resources to the manufacturing and assembling of the Voraxial Separator for Schlumberger under the Supply Agreement. We were also granted a Grant Back License to market the technology into other markets outside of the oil and gas market which we plan to pursue. We have branded our licensed products as V-Inline. We received an order from a utility company for multiple V-Inline Separators to separate solids and oil from their wastewater stream. The V-Inline Separators will be used to process and separate oil and solids from a flow of about 120 gallons per minute. The System will include different technologies with the heart of the system being comprised of two V-2000 Separators working in parallel with a third V-Inline being utilized to further dewater the reject lines from the System. We anticipate shipping the system in the third quarter of 2019.

 

To date we have earned limited revenues under the Grant Back Licenses and Supply Agreement.

 

Revenue

 

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased by $1,043,602 to $1,308,762 or approximately 394% from $265,160 for the year ended December 31, 2017. $1 million of the total revenues is the result of multiple Voraxial units we shipped to Schlumberger under the Technology Purchase Agreement signed in June 2017. The majority of the balance reflects additional Separator models we shipped to Cameron under the Supply Agreement we signed in June 2017. We believe there is a

  8  

 

market for the Separator and that the Supply Agreement will provide us with the opportunity to increase revenues in the future in the oil and gas industry. We also believe the Grant Back Licenses can potentially generate additional revenues in other industries that require the separation technology, such as mining, industrial and sewage. We received a purchase order from a utility company for a wastewater system that includes multiple V-Inline Separators. The customer has paid multiple deposits that is reflected on our balance sheet as “Deposits from customers” at December 31, 2018. Due to customer delays, the project has been extended beyond the September 21, 2018 due date. We anticipate delivering this system in the third quarter of 2019.

 

The majority of revenues in 2018 and 2017 were a result of sales of the Voraxial Separator and auxiliary equipment and parts to Schlumberger under the Technology Purchase Agreement and to Cameron under the Supply Agreement, which represents 84% and 57%, respectively, of our total revenues.

 

Cost of goods sold increased to $703,271 for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $112,193 during the year ended December 31, 2017 or an increase of $591,078 or approximately 527%. The increase in our cost of goods sold was related to the increase in number of units sold to Schlumberger and increase in labor and facility utilization during the year. Our cost of goods continues to be reviewed by management in effort to obtain the best available pricing while maintaining high quality standards.

 

Costs and expenses

 

Total costs and expenses increased by approximately 11% or $109,355 to $1,078,327 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $968,972 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was due to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses and professional fees, offset by the decrease in payroll expense.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased by 48% or $106,410 to $330,105 for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $223,695 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was due to an increase of $22,000 for repair and maintenance as a result of the increased manufacturing activities, an increase of $39,000 for insurance which mainly comprises of increase in health and D&O insurance, an increase of $23,000 in depreciation as we incurred depreciation expense over a 12-month period in fiscal year 2018 as compared to a 9-month period in fiscal year 2017 for the recently acquired equipment used to manufacture the Separator.

 

Professional Fees

 

Professional fees increased by approximately 215% or $203,936 to $298,900 for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $94,964 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to a non-cash stock based compensation of $65,000 for shares issued to consultants and director, an increase of $89,000 in professional fees reflecting an increase in advisory and consulting services in our effort to pursue new markets and an increase of $10,000 reflecting an increase in legal fees associated with our pending litigation. In addition, the legal fees were $29,000 lower during the year ended December 31, 2017 due to the reversal of our accrual for legal contingency, which settled in 2017.

 

Payroll Expenses

 

Payroll expense decreased by approximately 31% or $200,991 to $449,322 for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $650,313 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in payroll expense was due to a $95,000 decrease in our CEO’s payroll and a higher utilization and absorption of labor cost into cost of goods sold. This was offset by $50,000 non-cash stock-based compensation for shares issued to our CEO.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

At December 31, 2018, cash was $1,223,863 as compared to $1,010,434 at December 31, 2017. Working capital deficit at December 31, 2018 was $566,391 as compared to a working capital deficit at December 31, 2017 of $166,137. At December 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $15,485,658. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had a net loss of $496,864. Our current assets increased by 34% at December 31, 2018 as compared to December 31, 2017, which reflects increases in our inventory and prepaid expenses as a result of the units we are manufacturing in fulfillment of orders we anticipate receiving under the Supply Agreement and for the purchase order from a utility company. Our current liabilities increased 57% at December 31,

  9  

 

2018 as compared to December 31, 2017, which is primarily attributable to a significant increase in deposits from customers as a result of the purchase order we received from a utility company.

 

Summary of cash flows

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows:

 

    Year Ended
December 31,
    2018   2017
    (audited)
Cash flow data:        
Cash provided by operating activities   $   264,069   $ 1,079,403
Cash used in investing activities   $   --   $ (109,942)
Cash used in financing activities   $   (50,640)   $ --

      

Net cash provided by operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable and increases in deposit from customer and accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset in part by increases in inventory and prepaid expenses. Increases in our inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses are a result of the units we are manufacturing in fulfillment of orders we received. Increase in deposit from customer is primarily attributable to deposit received on a purchase order we received from a utility company. Net cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to the completion of the Technology Purchase Agreement resulting in a gain on the sale of our intellectual property of $3,000,000 less direct costs of $80,000, offset by an increase in accounts receivable and inventory and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to the cash down payment on the purchase of CNC machining equipment. The purchase of the equipment was partially financed through the equipment note payable.

 

Net cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to the repayment of the equipment note payable. Net cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to the issuance of notes payable and advances from related party offset by the repayment of notes payable and advances from related party.

 

Continuing losses

 

While the Company has historically experienced recurring net losses, on June 8, 2017, the Company completed the Technology Purchase Agreement and entered into the Supply Agreement with Cameron Solutions. In addition, Schlumberger granted us the Grant Back Licenses for the sale of products outside the oil and gas industry. While the Company has historically experienced recurring net losses, our management believes that the Grant Back Licenses will provide us the opportunity to possibly leverage future Schlumberger sales in the oil and gas market to penetrate the sale and use of licensed products to other industries, including, but not limited to mining, sewage and wastewater. We believe that including our current cash resources and anticipated revenue to be generated under the Grant Back Licenses and Supply Agreement, we will have sufficient resources to continue business operations in excess of 12 months. However, there are no assurances that we will generate any or significant revenues under the Supply Agreement or Grant Back Licenses and there is limited historical financial data and operating results with which to evaluate our business and our prospects under the new agreements.

 

Our ability to generate future revenues will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include competitive efforts and general economic trends. Due to these factors, we cannot anticipate with any degree of certainty what our revenues will be in future periods. Our independent auditors have included in their audit report an explanatory paragraph that states that our continuing losses from operations raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

If we fail to achieve profitability on a quarterly or annual basis, or to raise additional funds when needed, or do not have sufficient cash flows from sales, we may be required to scale back or cease operations, sell or liquidate our assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection.

  10  

 

As a result of the above, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Note C of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.

 

A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes: 1) we are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and 2) different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. Based on a critical assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that our consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives its revenue from the sale and short-term rental of the V-Inline under the Grant Back Licenses and manufacturing of the Voraxial Separator under the Supply Agreement. We account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, which we adopted on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the timing or amounts of revenue recognized in our consolidated financial statements and therefore did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the year ended December 31, 2018. We did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the impact was immaterial. Also, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

 

Revenues are recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to our customers at a point in time, in an amount specified in the contract with our customer and that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company also assesses our customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including our customer’s historical payment experience and financial condition.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the valuation of deferred tax assets, the allowances for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence and valuation of stock based compensation. Actual results may differ.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the AICPA and the SEC, did not, or are not believed by management, to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements, except as follows:

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “ Leases ,” which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have an impact on our consolidated balance sheet as we will record material assets and obligations primarily related to our corporate office lease. We expect to record operating lease liability of approximately $290,000 based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments using discount rates as of the effective date. We expect to record corresponding right-of-use asset of approximately $290,000, based upon the operating lease liability as of January 1, 2019. We do not expect a material impact on our consolidated statement of income or our statement of cash flows. 

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our principal financial and accounting officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2018. Based upon that evaluation at the end of the period covered by this annual report our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communications to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 based on the 2013 criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls. Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that as of December 31, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as a result of material weaknesses. These material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting result from no segregation of duties, no multiple level of review in the financial close process and lack of experienced accounting staff with expertise in the application of GAAP. 

 

 In order to remediate these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will need to:

 

  · create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources; and
  · hire experienced independent third parties or consultants to provide additional expert advice as needed.

 

Until such time as we remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, there is a likelihood that our financial statements in future periods may contain errors which will require a restatement. In fiscal year 2018, we have made efforts to improve these weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting results by hiring personnel focused on upgrading our internal accounting processes and managing the daily accounting responsibilities, installing a new accounting software, implementing an inventory system to manage inventory and having duplicity in reviewing our accounting records by retaining an outside CPA to review our financials on a quarterly and annual basis. We believe these steps will help to further mitigate issues that may arise from a limited staff.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART III.

 

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

 

Directors and executive officers

 

The following sets forth the names and ages of our officers and directors.

 

Name   Age   Position
John A. DiBella 47   Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director
Raynard Veldman 58   Director

 

John A. DiBella has served as an employee of our Company since January 2002 and a member of the Board of Directors since August 2006. Since November 2011 he has served as chief executive officer and chief financial officer. From 2000 through January 2002 Mr. DiBella provided consulting services to our Company. Mr. DiBella was promoted from Chief Operating Officer to President in November 2011. Mr. DiBella co-founded and served as President of PBCM, a financial management company located in New Jersey from 1997 to 1999. Prior to co-founding PBCM, Mr. DiBella worked for Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette, a NYSE member firm.

 

Raynard Veldman has served as a director of the Company since August 2014. He served as vice president for Magnablend, Inc., a custom chemical blending and manufacturing company from February 2012 to July 2014. From April 2001 through February 2012 he served as business and product manager for Weatherford, Inc. in their Engineered Chemistry Division. He has over 30 years of experience in the domestic and international oil and gas industry. Mr. Veldman has a M.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Houston and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas. He has also periodically served as a consultant to the Company since 2009.

 

Board of Directors

 

Each director is elected at our annual meeting of stockholders and holds office until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until his successor is elected and qualified. If any director resigns, dies or is otherwise unable to serve out his or her term, or if the Board increases the number of directors, the Board may fill any vacancy by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum exists. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor. Vacancies occurring by reason of the removal of directors without cause may only be filled by vote of the stockholders.

 

Board leadership structure and board’s role in risk oversight

 

The board of directors is comprised of one member of our management and one independent director. Given the size of our company, our Board believes the current leadership structure is appropriate for our company. As our company grows, we expect to expand our board of directors through the appointment of independent directors.

 

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputation risk. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face and have responsibility for the oversight of risk management in their dual roles as directors.

  

Committees of the board of directors; stockholder nominations; audit committee financial expert

 

We have not established any committees comprised of members of our board of directors, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, or any committee performing similar functions. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our board of directors as a whole.

 

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our board of directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees, nor do we have a policy regarding director diversity. We have not adopted a policy

  14  

 

regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our board of directors. Given the early stage of our business, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees. In considering a director nominee, it is likely that our Board will consider the professional and/or educational background of any nominee with a view towards how this person might bring a different viewpoint or experience to our Board.

 

None of our directors is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. In general, an “audit committee financial expert” is an individual member of the audit committee or board of directors who:

 

  understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements;
     
  is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;
     
  has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements;
     
  understands internal controls over financial reporting; and
     
  understands audit committee functions.

 

Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committee of our board of directors.

 

Code of Ethics

 

During the year ended December 31, 2003 we adopted a code of ethics. The code of ethics was filed with the Company’s Form 10-KSB annual report for the year ended December 31, 2003. The code of ethics may be obtained by contacting the Company’s executive offices. The code applies to our officers and directors. The code provides written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and promote: (i) honest and ethical conduct; (ii) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure; (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations; (iv) promote reporting of internal violations of the code; and (v) accountability for the adherence to the code.

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of our outstanding common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock. These persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of these reports they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of reports furnished to us, Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with on a timely basis for the period which this report relates. Our director, Raynard Veldman, under his Form 3 filed upon his appointment as director in August 2014 failed to disclose ownership of 441,436 shares of common stock. Mr. Veldman has indicated such Form 3 should have included such number of shares.

 

Item 11. Executive compensation.

 

The table below sets forth compensation for the past two years awarded to, earned by or paid to our chief executive officer and our two most highly compensated executive officers other than our chief executive officer who were serving as executive officers at December 31, 2018 (the “Named Executives”).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of:

Enviro Technologies, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Enviro Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficiency and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Explanatory Paragraph – Going concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $566,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $15,486,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regards to these matters are described in Note B of the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures including examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits include evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Enviro Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018 and 2017

 

 

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

 

Enviro Technologies, Inc., an Idaho corporation (the “Company”), is a manufacturer of environmental and industrial separation technology. The Company developed, and now manufactures the Voraxial ® Separator for Cameron Solutions, Inc., an affiliate of Schlumberger Technology Corporation for a period of 3 years. The Voraxial is a patented technology that was sold to Schlumberger Technology Corporation, a Texas corporation, Schlumberger Canada Limited, a Canadian entity, and Schlumberger B.V., an entity organized under the laws of the Netherlands (collectively, “Schlumberger”) on June 8, 2017. The Company received a Grant Back License to sell the Separation Technology in markets outside of the oil and gas markets, which include oil exploration and production, oil refineries, oil spill, mining, sewage, manufacturing, waste-to-energy and food processing industry.

 

Florida Precision Aerospace, Inc., a Florida corporation (“FPA”), is the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is used to manufacture, assemble and test the Voraxial Separator. Effective November 10, 2017 the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation changing the Company’s name from “Enviro Voraxial Technology, Inc.” to “Enviro Technologies, Inc.” and increasing its authorized common stock to 250,000,000 shares.

 

NOTE B – going concern

 

While the Company has historically experienced recurring net losses, on June 8, 2017, the Company completed a Technology Purchase Agreement with Schlumberger for the sale of the Company’s intellectual property in consideration of up to $4,000,000, of which $3,000,000 was paid at closing and the balance was paid in August, 2018 upon the completion of both: (i) the complete transfer of the intellectually property to Schlumberger; and (ii) the provision to transfer information, assets and services to Schlumberger. In addition, at closing FPA entered into a Framework Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with Cameron Solutions, Inc. (“Cameron Solutions”), a Houston, Texas-based company engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of equipment used in the oil and gas industry. Under the terms of the three-year Supply Agreement, FPA is the exclusive supplier to Cameron Solutions of certain Voraxial series products for use in the oil and gas industry. Pursuant to the Technology Purchase Agreement, Schlumberger also granted us non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licenses (the “Grant Back Licenses”) for the sale of the technology outside the oil and gas industry. We rebranded the technology and it is now called V-Inline. Our management believes that the Grant Back License will provide us the opportunity to possibly leverage future Schlumberger sales in the oil and gas market to penetrate the sale and use of licensed V-Inline products to other industries, including, but not limited to mining, sewage and industrial wastewater.

 

We believe that including our current cash resources and anticipated revenue to be generated under the Grant Back Licenses and Supply Agreement, we will have sufficient resources to continue business operations in excess of 12 months. However, we have not yet generated significant revenues from the Supply Agreement or Grant Back License. There is no assurance that the Supply Agreement will generate sufficient revenues and income, nor is there any assurance that we will be able to leverage the Grant Back License and generate sufficient revenues from other industries.

 

At December 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $15,485,658 including a net loss of $496,864 for the year ended December 31, 2018. We may not be able to sustain or increase our profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. If we fail to sustain or increase our profitability on a quarterly or annual basis, or to raise additional funds when needed, or do not have sufficient cash flows from sales, we may be required to scale back or cease operations, sell or liquidate our assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection. As a result of the above, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE C - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company, Enviro Technologies, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Florida Precision Aerospace, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

 

  F- 6  

 

  Enviro Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018 and 2017

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the valuation of deferred tax assets, the allowances for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence and valuation of stock based compensation. Actual results may differ.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives its revenue from the sale and short-term rental of the Voraxial Separator. We account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, which we adopted on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the timing or amounts of revenue recognized in our consolidated financial statements and therefore did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the year ended December 31, 2018. We did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the impact was immaterial. Also, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

 

Revenues are recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to our customers at a point in time, in an amount specified in the contract with our customer and that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company also assesses our customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including our customer’s historical payment experience and financial condition.

 

Revenues that are generated from sales of equipment are typically recognized upon shipment. Our standard agreements generally do not include customer acceptance or post shipment installation provisions. However, if such provisions have been included or there is an uncertainty about customer order, revenue is deferred until we have evidence of customer order and all terms of the agreement have been complied with. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, there was $1,035,706 and $32,090, respectively, of deposits from customers. The increase in deposits from customer is attributed to the purchase order we received from a utility customer for a wastewater treatment system that is comprised of multiple V-Inline Separators. We anticipate that the project will be completed in the third quarter of 2019.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the short term rental of equipment, ratably over the life of the agreement, which is usually three to twelve months.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowance when there is a doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, customer’s historical payment history, and its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collections. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has $60,254 and $60,254 in the allowance for doubtful accounts, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, inventory, prepaid expense, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deposits from customers at December 31, 2018 and 2017, approximate their fair value because of their relatively short-term nature.

 

ASC 820 “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosures of information regarding the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale of liquidation.

 

The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value is observable in the market. We categorize each of our fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are: 

  F- 7  

 

Enviro Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018 and 2017

 

Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. We have no Level 1 instruments as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities. We have no Level 2 instruments as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. We have no Level 3 instruments as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash balances with various financial institutions. Balances at these institutions may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporate limits. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we have a cash concentration in excess of the FDIC limit of $957,717 and $719,068, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of components for the Voraxial Separator and is priced at lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as sales price less cost of completion, disposable and transportation and a normal profit margin. Inventory may include units being rented on a short term basis or components held by third parties in connection with pilot programs as part of the continuing evaluation by such third parties as to the effectiveness and usefulness of the service to be incorporated into their respective operations. The third parties do not have a contractual obligation to purchase the equipment. The Company maintains the title and risk of loss. Therefore, these units are included in the inventory of the Company.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful life of the assets (5-10 years). Gains and losses recognized from the sales or disposal of assets is the difference between the sales price and the recorded cost less accumulated depreciation less costs of disposal.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

In accordance with the accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “ Earnings per Share” basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

 

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 13,465,000 and 13,465,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of options, respectively, common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company had net income for the year ended December 31, 2017. A separate computation of diluted earnings per share is presented using the treasury stock method.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740-10-25. Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development costs, which includes travel expenses, consulting fees, subcontractors and salaries are expensed as incurred.

 

There was $0 and $12,705 in research and development costs during December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. There was $1,417 and $1,159 in advertising costs during December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees for services in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an employee award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.”

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's net income (loss) or cash flows.

 

NOTE D – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Certification (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “ Leases ”, which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have an impact on our consolidated balance sheet as we will record material assets and obligations primarily related to our corporate office lease. We expect to record operating lease liability of approximately $290,000 based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments using discount rates as of the effective date. We expect to record corresponding right-of-use asset of approximately $290,000, based upon the operating lease liability as of January 1, 2019. We do not expect a material impact on our consolidated statement of income or our statement of cash flows.

 

In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date ” defers the effective date ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU 2014-09. The Company adopted these standards on January 1, 2018. The adoption did not have a material impact on the timing or amounts of revenue recognized in our consolidated financial statements and therefore did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the year ended December 31, 2018. We did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the impact was immaterial. Also, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

 

In June 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-07 “ Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to

  F- 9  

 

Enviro Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018 and 2017

 

Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this Update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, revenue from Contracts from Customers. The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the good or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied. This standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 14, 2020. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than an entity’s adoption of Topic 606. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

On April 16, 2018, we entered into a 12-month business advisory consulting agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued 250,000 restricted shares of common stock for services. The fair value of these shares is $15,000.

 

On May 25, 2018 the Company issued an aggregate of 2,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to Messrs. John A. DiBella and Raynard Veldman. The shares were issued to them as bonus compensation for their efforts in connection with the closing of the Technology Purchase Agreement. The fair value of these shares is $100,000.

 

Options

 

The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees for services in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an employee award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s stock options and warrants have characteristics different from those of its traded stock, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based upon quoted market yields for United States Treasury debt securities with a term similar to the expected term. The expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s history of having never issued a dividend and management’s current expectation of future action surrounding dividends. Expected volatility was based on historical data for the trading of our stock on the open market. The expected lives for such grants were based on the simplified method for employees and officers.

NOTE J - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Termination of Use Agreement

 

On December 29, 2016, the Company entered into a termination, assignment, settlement and general release agreement with an inventor named on certain Company patents and party to a use agreement with the Company. Under the release agreement the parties agreed to mutual releases and the inventor agreed to (1) terminate the use agreement and all rights to the patents and (2) assign any remaining rights to the patents to the Company in consideration of $45,000 (the “Termination Fee”), which was included as a direct cost of the Technology Purchase Agreement. The Company satisfied its obligation to the inventor in May, 2017.

 

Litigation

 

On or about November 17, 2011, a claim was filed in the Broward County Circuit Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida against the company by Raw Energy Tech, LLC. The plaintiff alleges breach of an oral contract between the parties for the alleged design, fabrication and construction of a prototype power pack. Amount of damages sought are approximately $58,000. On October 5, 2017 the lawsuit by Raw Energy Tech, LLC against the Company was settled and voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff.

 

On or about October 23, 2017, a claim was filed in the 17 th Judicial Circuit Court in and for Broward County in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by the plaintiff, Industrial and Oilfield Procurement Services, LLC, against our company.  The case involves an alleged breach of contract between the parties relating to the purchase and sale of a Voraxial unit in 2015. The plaintiff has demanded a refund and damages. We are defending this action, as we believe this claim is without merit.

 

Customer Deposit

 

The Company received a substantial deposit from a customer in the utility industry, which has filed for bankruptcy protection. The customer has paid multiple deposits totaling $1,035,706 as of December 31, 2018. The balance is included in our balance sheet as “Deposits from customers”. In January 2019, our customer filed for bankruptcy protection. We retained counsel to review our contract and the bankruptcy filing. As of March 29, 2019, our counsel does not believe this bankruptcy filing will negatively affect the purchase order we received. However, if the customer was to cancel the order or under bankruptcy law we were required to return the deposit, then our operations would be adversely affected.

 

Operating Lease

 

In December 2018, the Company entered into a three (3) year lease for an office and manufacturing facility located at 821 NW 57 th Place, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309. The lease is $4,839 per month, which includes common area maintenance, taxes and insurance and expires in October 2021. The lease has a one-time renewal option for three years and an increased base rent of 3%. The Company has the option to terminate the lease with three months’ notice.

 

Future minimum lease payments for operating leases at December 31, 2018 are as follows:

 

2019 $ 58,065
2020   58,065
2021   48,388
Total $ 164,518

 

NOTE K - SALE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

On June 8, 2017, the Company and FPA, our wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Sellers”), closed the transactions contemplated by the Technology Purchase Agreement dated March 13, 2017 with Schlumberger Technology Corporation, a Texas

  F-13  

 

Enviro Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018 and 2017

 

corporation, Schlumberger Canada Limited, a Canadian entity, and Schlumberger B.V., an entity organized under the laws of the Netherlands (collectively, (“Schlumberger”).

 

At closing, we sold our intellectual property (the “Purchased Intellectual Property”), substantially consisting of the Voraxial patents, marks, software and copyrights, to Schlumberger in consideration of up to $4,000,000, of which $3,000,000 was paid to us at closing and the balance of $1,000,000 was payable upon satisfaction of the following post-closing conditions: (i) the complete transfer of the Purchased Intellectually Property to Schlumberger; and (ii) the provision to transfer information, assets and services to Schlumberger.

 

In August 2018, we delivered multiple Voraxial units to Schlumberger. Upon delivery, the post-closing conditions were satisfied and the remaining $1,000,000 was received. We recognized the revenue during the year ended December 31, 2018. The amount is included in revenue, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

 

We utilized a portion of the proceeds from this transaction to pay most of our outstanding debt and are using the balance for general working capital. We used some of the proceeds to buy additional manufacturing equipment to meet potential future sales.

 

As part of the agreement, Schlumberger granted us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licenses (the “Grant Back Licenses”), to make, use, sell, offer for sale, and import products and processes embodying the Purchase Intellectual Property outside the oil and gas market. In addition to the proceeds from the sale of our intellectual property, our management believes that the Grant Back License will provide for the potential increase of revenues through the sale of the intellectual technology, possibly leveraging future sales by Schlumberger in the oil and gas market to penetrate the sale and use of licensed products to other industries, including, but not limited to mining, sewage and wastewater.

 

In addition, at closing FPA entered into a Framework Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with Cameron Solutions, Inc. (“Cameron Solutions”), a Houston, Texas-based company engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of equipment used in the oil and gas industry. Under the terms of the three-year Supply Agreement, FPA is the exclusive supplier to Cameron Solutions of certain Voraxial series products for use in the oil and gas industry. Sales will be made from time to time in accordance with the terms of purchase orders. The Supply Agreement is cancellable by Cameron Solutions upon 15 days’ notice if FPA fails to meet delivery or performance schedules or breaches any of the terms of the agreement, including the warranties.

The significant components of the deferred tax asset at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

 

    For the Years Ended December 31
    2018     2017
Statutory rate applied to income (loss) before income taxes $                 (125,930)   $                779,193
Increase (decrease) in income taxes results from:          
  Non-deductible expense                           (74,052)                          753  
  Change in tax rate estimates                --                1,321,015  
  Change in valuation allowance             199,982              (2,100,961)
Income tax expense (benefit) $ --   $                          --

 

The difference between income tax expense computed by applying the federal statutory corporate tax rate and provision for actual income tax is as follows:

 

    For the Years Ended December 31
    2018     2017
Income tax expense (benefit) at U.S. statutory rate of 34%   (21.00)%     34.00%

    For the Years Ended December 31
Deferred tax assets:   2018     2017
Operating loss carryforwards $              2,887,980   $            2,687,998

Net deferred income tax asset $                             --   $                           --
           

 

Increase in the deferred income tax asset is attributable to the estimated deferred income tax benefit arising from operating loss carry forward. The change in valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was an increase (decrease) of $199,982 and $(2,100,961), respectively.

 

The Company has made a 100% valuation allowance of the deferred income tax asset at December 31, 2018, as it is not expected that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $11,390,000 available to offset future taxable income.

 

The Company’s federal income tax returns for 2016, 2017 and 2018 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Services and state tax authorities.

The above and foregoing policies to be obtained by the Tenant shall also contain a provision by which the insurer agrees that such policy or policies shall not be cancelled, materially changed or not renewed without at least thirty (30) days advance notice to Manager, 1242 N.W. 102 nd Way, Coral Springs, Florida 33071, attention: Stan Baumwald, or to such other party or address as may be designated by Landlord or its designee. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of each such policy or a certificate thereof, including a declaration page, evidencing the insurance coverage required hereunder which policy or certificate shall be in form and content satisfactory to Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations with regard to obtaining insurance pursuant to this paragraph 20, Landlord may perform the same and the cost of same shall be deemed additional rent and shall be payable upon Landlord’s demand. Landlord shall have the right during the term of this Lease to periodically review the insurance coverage required hereunder and to require an adjustment of such coverage to reflect then-existing market conditions.

 

Tenant will pay Landlord on a monthly basis, a proportionate share of Landlord’s cost of maintaining all insurance with respect to Landlord’s building including, without limitation, the above and foregoing standard fire and extended coverage insurance, all risk property (including rental income) and liability insurance and rent insurance. Such insurance may be carried at the discretion of Landlord in such amounts and companies, as Landlord shall determine. Such monies are to be considered additional rent.

22. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

 

If the premises shall be damaged by fire, the elements, accident or other casualty (any of such causes being referred to as a “casualty”), but the premises shall not be thereby rendered wholly or partially untenantable, then, subject to the provisions of this paragraph 22, Landlord shall promptly cause such damage to be repaired to the same condition as when possession was delivered and there shall be no abatement of rent. If, as the result of casualty, the premises shall be rented wholly or partially untenantable, then, subject to the provisions of this paragraph 22, Landlord shall cause such damage to be repaired to the same condition as when possession was delivered and all rent (other than any additional rent due Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder) shall be abated proportionately as to the portion of the premises rendered untenantable during the period of such untenantability. All such repairs shall be made at the expense of Landlord (unless said damages are the result of the intentional acts or negligence on the part of the Tenant or its employees or invitees); provided, however, that Landlord shall not be liable for interruption to Tenant’s business or for damage to or replacement or repair of Tenant’s personal property or to any leasehold improvements installed in the premises by or on behalf of Tenant, all of which damage, replacement or repair shall be undertaken and completed by Tenant promptly.

 

If the premises are rendered wholly untenantable, or damaged as a result of any cause which is not covered by Landlord’s insurance or damaged or destroyed in whole or in part or if Landlord’s building is damaged to the extent of 50% or more of Landlord’s floor area, then, in any of such event, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving to Tenant notice of such election within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such event. If such notice is given, the rights and obligations of the parties shall cease as of the date of such notice, and rental (other than any additional rental due Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder) shall be adjusted as of the date of such termination.

 

If Landlord’s building shall be so substantially damaged that it is reasonably necessary, in Landlord’s sole judgment, to demolish same for the purpose of reconstruction, Landlord may demolish the same, in which event the rent shall be abated to the same extent as if the premises were rendered untenantable by a casualty.
