(Name)		(Area Code)		(Telephone Number)

 

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes [X] No [  ]

 

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

Yes [X] No [  ]

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

On June 2, 2017, the Registrant initiated a corporate wide realignment of its strategic direction, reallocation of resources and reduction in workforce in response to significant operating losses due to the impact that continuing low oil prices were having on the company’s dual fuel and flare capture businesses. The realignment resulted in a reduction in annual operating costs of over $2 million on a go forward basis.

 

The Registrant anticipates reporting revenues of approximately $382,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to approximately $524,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Because the Registrant’s dual fuel technology displaces higher cost diesel fuel with lower cost and cleaner burning natural gas, the low price of oil/diesel over the past several years has negatively impacted the economic returns of utilizing the Registrant’s dual fuel solution.

 

Market conditions for the Registrant’s flare capture and recovery services in the Bakken region of North Dakota continue to be very soft, again due to low oil prices and reduction in the number of drill rigs operating in the region. With no material positive changes foreseen in flare capture market conditions in the near term the Registrant has elected to discontinue their flare capture initiative. As a result, the Registrant anticipates reporting a non-cash impairment loss of approximately $1.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

The Registrant anticipates reporting a net loss of approximately $3,670,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to a net loss of approximately $1,598,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2017 reflect the inclusion of approximately $1,500,000 of non-cash impairment losses.

 

As a result of the net losses incurred to date, the Registrant anticipates reporting a net working capital deficit of approximately $5,053,000 (including $3,000,000 of Contingent Convertible Notes Payable) at June 30, 2017 as compared to a net working capital deficit of approximately $1,120,000 at June 30, 2016.
