CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q (“Report”) contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws.  Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the Company’s beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, goals and expectations, including expectations about the future financial or operating performance of the Company and its projects, capital expenditures, capital needs, government regulation of the industry, environmental risks, limitations of insurance coverage, and the timing and possible outcome of regulatory matters, including the granting of patents and permits.  Words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “attempt”, “may”, “will”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “estimate”, and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.
 
These statements are based on and were developed using a number of factors and assumptions including, but not limited to: stability in the U.S. and other foreign economies; stability in the availability and pricing of raw materials, energy and supplies; stability in the competitive environment; the continued ability of the Company to access cost effective capital when needed; and no unexpected or unforeseen events occurring that would materially alter the Company’s current plans.   All of these assumptions have been derived from statements currently available to the Company including information obtained by the Company from third party sources. Although management believes that these assumptions are reasonable, these assumptions may prove to be incorrect in whole or in part. As a result of these and other factors, actual results may differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward looking statements, which reflect the Company’s expectations only as of the date hereof.
 
Factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed, implied or forecasted by the forward looking statements include risks associated with general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; risks associated with changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; risks associated with failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; risks associated with accidents or labor disputes; risks associated in delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing, or in the completion of development or construction activities; risks associated with financial leverage and the availability of capital; risks associated with the price of commodities and the inability of the Company to control commodity prices; risks associated with the regulatory environment within which the Company operates; risks associated with litigation including the availability of insurance; and risks posed by competition. These and other factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed, implied or forecasted by the forward looking statements are discussed in more detail in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part IA of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  
 
The Company does not intend to, and the Company disclaims any obligation to, update any forward looking statements, whether written or oral, or whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Unless otherwise noted, references in this registration statement to “JBI” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” means JBI, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
 
JBI, Inc. (the “Company” or “JBI”) was originally incorporated as 310 Holdings, Inc. (“310”) in the State of Nevada on April 20, 2006.  310 had no significant activity from inception through 2009.  In April 2009, John Bordynuik purchased 63% of the issued and outstanding shares of 310.  During 2009, the Company changed its name to JBI, Inc. and began operations of its main business operation, Plastic2Oil (“P2O”).  Plastic2Oil is a combination of proprietary technologies and processes developed by JBI which convert waste plastics into fuel.  JBI currently, as of the date of this filing, operates two processors at its Niagara Falls, NY, facility (the “Niagara Falls Facility”).
 
On August 24, 2009, the Company acquired Javaco, Inc. (“Javaco”), a distributor of electronic components, including home theater and audio video products.  In July 2012, the Company closed Javaco and sold substantially all of the inventory and fixed assets of Javaco.  The operations of Javaco have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented (Note 16).
 
Going Concern
 
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern which assumes the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $50,582,330 for the period ending March 31, 2013. The report of the Company’s auditor on the Company’s financial statements for December 31, 2012 and 2011 contained a “going concern” opinion regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to operate in the normal course of business. The Company has funded our activities to date almost exclusively from equity financings. 
 
The Company will continue to require substantial funds to continue the expansion of its P2O business to achieve significant commercial productions, and to significantly increase sales and marketing efforts. Management’s plans in order to meet its operating cash flow requirements include financing activities such as private placements of its common and preferred stock, issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments.
 
While the Company believes that it will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, meet regulatory requirements and achieve commercial production goals, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that it will succeed in its future operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Plastic2Oil of NY#1, LLC, JBI (Canada) Inc., John Bordynuik, Inc., JBI CDE Inc., JBI Re One Inc., JBI Re#1 Inc., Plastic2Oil Marine Inc., Javaco, Pak-it and Plastic2Oil Land Inc..  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.  Amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in US dollars. Javaco has also been consolidated; however, as mentioned its operations are classified as discontinued operations (Note 16).
 
Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for impairment of intangible assets, share based compensation, asset retirement obligations, inventory obsolescence, accrued liabilities and accounts receivable exposures.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
 
Restricted Cash
 
Restricted cash relates to cash on deposit, which secures the Company’s letter of credit with a banking institution, related to a fuel sales bond.  
 
Cash Held in Attorney Trust
 
The amount held in trust represents retainer payments the Company have made to law firms which were being held on our behalf for the payment of future services. 
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable represent unsecured obligations due from customers under terms requesting payments upon receipt of invoice up to ninety days, depending on the customer.  Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and are stated at the amounts billed to the customer net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts.   Customer balances with invoices over 90 days old are considered delinquent. Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer remittance, or if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoice. 
 
The allowance for uncollectible accounts reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that may not be collected based on an analysis of the age of receivables and the credit standing of individual customers.   The allowance for uncollectible accounts for the periods ending March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $10,507 and $57,991, respectively. 
 
Inventories
 
Inventories, which consist primarily of plastics, costs to process the plastic and processed fuel are stated at the lower of cost or market.  We use an average costing method in determining cost.  Inventories are periodically reviewed for use and obsolescence, and adjusted as necessary.  
  
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets, and capital leased assets are given useful lives coinciding with the asset classification they are classified as.  These lives are as follows:
 
Leasehold improvements 
lesser of useful life or term of the lease
Machinery and office equipment  
3-15 years
Furniture and fixtures
7 years
Office and industrial buildings
25 years
 
 
9

 
 
Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the statements of operations in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred and expenditures that increase the value or useful life of the asset are capitalized.
 
Construction in Process
 
The Company capitalizes customized equipment built to be used in the future day to day operations at cost. Once complete and available for use, the cost for accounting purposes is transferred to property, plant and equipment, where normal depreciation rates are applied.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets on an asset by asset basis. Impairment is recognized on properties held for use when the expected undiscounted cash flows for a property are less than its carrying amount at which time the property is written-down to fair value. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. The sale or disposal of a “component of an entity” is treated as discontinued operations. The operating properties sold by the Company typically meet the definition of a component of an entity and as such the revenues and expenses associated with sold properties are reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented (Note 16).
 
Asset Retirement Obligations

The fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligations is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets when identified and a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The asset retirement cost, equal to the estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation, is capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset. The asset retirement costs are depreciated over the asset’s estimated useful life and are included in depreciation and accretion expense on the consolidated statements of income. Increases in the asset retirement obligation resulting from the passage of time are recorded as accretion of asset retirement obligation in the consolidated statements of operations. Actual expenditures incurred are charged against the accumulated obligation.  As at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company recorded asset retirement obligations of $29,644 and $29,423, respectively.  These costs include disposal of plastic and other non-hazardous waste, site closing labor and testing and sampling of the site upon closure.  This liability is included in other long-term liabilities.
 
Environmental Contingencies

The Company records environmental liabilities at their undiscounted amounts on our balance sheets as other current or long-term liabilities when environmental assessments indicate that remediation efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. These costs may be discounted to reflect the time value of money if the timing of the cash payments is fixed or reliably determinable and extends beyond a current period. Estimates of our liabilities are based on currently available facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into consideration the likely effects of other societal and economic factors, and include estimates of associated legal costs. These amounts also consider prior experience in remediating contaminated sites, other companies’ clean-up experience and data released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or other organizations. Our estimates are subject to revision in future periods based on actual costs or new circumstances. We capitalize costs that benefit future periods and we recognize a current period charge in operation and maintenance expense when clean-up efforts do not benefit future periods.
 
We evaluate any amounts paid directly or reimbursed by government sponsored programs and potential recoveries or reimbursements of remediation costs from third parties including insurance coverage separately from our liability. Recovery is evaluated based on the creditworthiness or solvency of the third party, among other factors. When recovery is assured, we record and report an asset separately from the associated liability on our balance sheets. No amounts for recovery have been accrued to date.

Deposits

Deposits represent payments made to vendors for fabrication of key pieces of property, plant and equipment that have been made in accordance with the Company’s agreements to purchase such equipment.  Payments are made to these vendors as progress is made on the fabrication of the equipment, with final payments made when the equipment is delivered.  Until we have possession of the equipment, all payments made to these vendors are classified as deposits on assets.  Deposits were $1,578,182 and $839,005 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
 
Leases

The Company has entered into various leases for buildings and equipment. At the inception of a lease, the Company evaluates whether it is operating or capital in nature.  Operating leases are recorded as expense in the appropriate periods of the lease.  Capital leases are classified as property, plant and equipment and the related depreciation is recorded on the assets.  Also, the debt related to the capital lease is included in the Company’s short- and long-term debt obligations, in accordance with the lease agreement.

Lease inducements are recognized for periods of reduced rent or for larger than usual rent escalations over the term of the lease. The benefit of a rent free period and the cost of future rent escalations are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and collection is reasonably assured.  The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

P2O sales are recognized when the customers take possession of the fuel since at that stage the customer has completed all prior testing necessary for their acceptance of the fuel. At the time of possession they have arranged for transportation to pick it up and the sales price has either been set in their purchase contract or negotiated prior to the time of pick up through the issuance of a purchase order. The Company negotiates the pricing of the fuel based on the quality of the product and the type of fuel being sold (i.e. Naphtha, Fuel Oil No. 6 or Fuel Oil No. 2).
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
The Company’s shipping and handling costs of $13,357 and $13,335 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are included in cost of goods sold for all periods presented.
 
Advertising costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were $2,865 and $5,757 for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Research and Development
 
The Company is engaged in research and development activities. Research and development costs are charged as operating expense of the Company as incurred. For the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company expensed $109,046 and $95,150, respectively, towards research and development costs. Components of the processors that are fabricated or purchased with research and development plans and then used on the processor in production are capitalized into the cost of the processor and depreciated over the remaining life of the processor.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830. All monetary items have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. All non-monetary items have been translated using the historical exchange rates at the time of transactions. Amounts included in the consolidated statement of operations have been translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Foreign exchange losses of $11,657 and $16,603 are included as general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to measure and record deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
 
11

 
 
The Company adopted the accounting standards associated with uncertain tax positions as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or financial position. Upon adoption, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. Furthermore, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. The Company files tax returns in the US federal and state jurisdictions as well as in Canada.  The years ended December 31, 2009 through December 31, 2012 are open tax years for IRS review.
 
Loss Per Share
 
The financial statements include basic and diluted per share information. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.  For the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, potentially dilutive common stock equivalents consisted of the Preferred Stock Series B, the Common Stock Warrants and the outstanding stock based compensation awards, which were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share, as the impact would have been anti-dilutive.
 
Segment Reporting

The Company operates in two reportable segments. ASC 280-10, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in their consolidated financial statements. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our operating segments include plastic to oil conversion (Plastic2Oil), which includes our fuel sales as well as sales of waste paper fiber and Data Recovery and Migration, our magnetic tape reading segment. Our chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
 
Concentrations and Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s policy is to place our cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions that are insured by the FDIC, however, account balances may at times exceed insured limits. The Company extends limited credit to its customers based upon their creditworthiness and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other pertinent information.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value is defined under FASB ASC Topic 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value.  The levels are as follows:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
  
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, cash held in attorney trust, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, mortgage payable and capital leases approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these items. Per ASC Topic 820 framework these are considered Level 2 inputs where estimates are unobservable by market participants outside of the Company and must be estimated using assumptions developed by the Company. The short-term notes receivable is carried at fair value and is valued using Level 2 inputs, see Note 13.
 
Reclassifications
 
To conform with the basis of presentation adopted in the current year, certain figures previously reported have been reclassified.
 
Specifically, during 2012, the Company identified certain amounts of employee payroll related to employees that were predominantly involved in research and development activities as defined under ASC 730-10-25. Accordingly, it was determined that the employee payroll expenses related to these individuals should be reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to research and development for all periods presented.  The resulting impact is a reclassification of $95,150 for the period ended March 31, 2012 As this is a reclassification between two expense categories, there is no impact on the balance sheet, net loss, accumulated deficit or cash flows for the all periods presented.  Additionally, the opening balances of additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit were overstated and understated by $16,193, respectively.  This amount has been reclassified into the correct accounts for the balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.  This reclassification had no impact on the balance sheet, net loss or cash flows for the periods presented.

NOTE 3 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that impact the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
The Company believes the above discussion addresses its most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had recorded impairment losses on property, plant and equipment of $Nil and $36,500, respectively.  These charges related to the impairment of tape reading equipment in the Data Business.
 
For the period ended March 31, 2013, total depreciation expense consists of $7,646 included in Cost of Sales (March 31, 2012 - $2,838) and depreciation of property, plant and equipment and accretion of long-term liability of $189,327 (March 31, 2012 - $137,196), which is separately disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
NOTE 6 – SHORT-TERM NOTES RECEIVABLE
 
Upon consummation of the sale of Pak-It, the Company entered into a long-term note receivable (the “Note”) with the buyer of Pak-It in the amount of $500,000.  The Note was recorded as of the date of closing at the fair value determined by discounting the face value of the Note using 7%, based on factors considered by the Company at the time of recording the Note.  Interest income is amortized into the value of the Note during the life of the Note and is recognized as interest income throughout the term of the Note, which is due on July 1, 2013.  Interest income recognized on the Note for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $6,139 and $Nil, respectively.

During 2012, the Company entered into a letter of credit with one of its financial institutions to secure a performance bond required by a governmental agency for the sale of fuel.  This letter of credit is fully secured by restricted cash held by this institution and was not utilized at any point during the period ended March 31, 2013.  Restricted cash consists of $100,000 plus interest earned on the balance.
   
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
 
The Company calculates its income tax expense by estimating the annual effective tax rate and applying that rate to the year-to-date ordinary income (loss) at the end of the period.  The Company records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not be able to recover the value of its deferred tax assets.  As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company calculated its estimated annualized effective tax rate at 0% and 0%, respectively, for both the United States and Canada.  The Company had no income tax expense on its $2,714,521 pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The Company recognized no income tax expense based on its $2,770,493 pre-tax loss from continuing operations and $57,736 pre-tax loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
 
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit.   For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.  The Company recognizes interest accrued on uncertain tax positions as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within interest expense.   The Company recognizes penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expenses.   As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.
 
The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. The years ending December 31, 2009 through December 31, 2012 are open tax years.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

One of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a consulting service contract with a shareholder. The minimum future payment is equal to fifty percent of the operating income generated from the operations of two of the most profitable devices and 10% from all the other devices.  This agreement relates to Plastic2Oil Marine, Inc, which the Company is currently not operating.
 
The Company leases the JBI Recycling Facility in Thorold, Ontario, Canada with terms remaining of up to 17 years.

Our lease on the Recycling Facility contained both a rent free period as well as rent escalations. In order to recognize these items on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease the Company has recorded a deferred rent liability of $63,173 and $60,277, which is included in accrued liabilities at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

In August 2010, a former employee filed a complaint against the Company’s subsidiary alleging wrongful dismissal and seeking compensatory damages.  The Company denied the validity of the contract which was signed by the former employee as employee and president of the subsidiary. The Company entered into negotiations with the former employee to trade-off some of the benefits of the alleged employment agreement in return for repayment of debts to the Company incurred by the former employee while in the employment of the Company’s subsidiary.  The debt in the amount of $346,386 was written off.  Prior to December 31, 2011, the former employee settled the dispute with the Company and agreed to repay $250,813 to the Company.  The employee owns shares of the Company and will sell and use the proceeds to make the repayments.  The Company recognizes these receipts as recoveries when realized.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company has received $94,250 of repayments; however, no repayments were received during the period ended March 31, 2013.

As previously reported, on July 28, 2011, certain of the Company’s stockholders filed a class action lawsuit against the Company and Messrs. Bordynuik and Baldwin on behalf of purchasers of its securities.  In an amended complaint filed on July 10, 2012, these shareholders sought to represent such purchasers during the period August 28, 2009 and January 4, 2012. The original and amended complaints in that case, filed in federal court in Nevada, allege that the defendants made false or misleading statements, or both, and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects in press releases and filings made with the SEC. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that the defendants made false or misleading statements or failed to disclose material information, or a combination thereof regarding: (1) that the Media Credits were substantially overvalued; (2) that the Company improperly accounted for acquisitions; (3) that, as such, the Company's financial results were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; (4) that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, a lead plaintiff was appointed in the case and an amended complaint was filed. The defendants’ answer to the amended complaint was filed during the fourth quarter of 2012.  Subsequently, a case management order was entered and limited discovery commenced.  The Company cannot predict the outcome of the class action litigation at this time.
 
As previously reported, on January 4, 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil complaint in federal court in Massachusetts against the Company. The complaint alleges that the Company reported materially false and inaccurate financial information in our financial statements (which were later restated) for the third quarter of 2009 and the year end 2009 by overvaluing certain media credits (“Media Credits”) on its balance sheet, in violation of, among other things, the antifraud, reporting, books and records, internal controls and periodic report certification provisions of the U.S. Securities Laws.  The Complaint named the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and current Chief of Technology, John Bordynuik, and its former Chief Financial Officer, Ronald Baldwin, Jr., as co-defendants. Among other relief requested, the complaint sought an order requiring the defendants to pay unspecified disgorgement and civil penalty amounts.  The SEC approved a settlement under which the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer and current Chief of Technology, John Bordynuik, would pay fines of $150,000 and $110,000, respectively, and consent to the imposition of injunctions against future violations.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the court approved this settlement and the Company paid $150,000 which had previously been accrued for and was classified as cash held in attorney trust at December 31, 2012.
 
As previously reported, on March 16, 2012, a stockholder derivative suit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the State of Massachusetts, naming the Company as a nominal defendant and naming as defendants each member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, including current director Mr. John Wesson, former director Mr. John Bordynuik and other former directors.  The complaint alleges that the individual members of the Board breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with the alleged improper accounting treatment of the Media Credits and public disclosures regarding the status of its Plastic2Oil, or P2O, process.  During the third and fourth quarters of 2012, the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint arguing, among other things, that the plaintiff stockholder failed to allege sufficient facts demonstrating that presenting a demand  to the Company’s Board of Directors prior to filing suit would have been futile.  The plaintiff filed an opposition to this motion and the Company has replied to that opposition.  The Company cannot predict the outcome of the litigation at this time.
 
At March 31, 2013, the Company is involved in litigation and claims in addition to the above mentioned legal claims, which arise from time to time in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, based upon the information and facts known to them, any liability that may arise from such contingencies would not have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
 
NOTE 11 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock and Additional Paid in Capital
 
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company issued 34,247 shares of common stock that had previously been subscribed.  These shares were valued at $0.73 per share, on the date of approval by the Board of Directors.
 
Warrants
 
Pursuant to a private placement that took place between December 30, 2011 and January 6, 2012, the Company issued 1,997,500 warrants to purchase shares of common stock for $2.00 to the subscribers of the December 2011 through January 2012 private placements.  The warrants have an eighteen month term from the date of issuance and expire on July 6, 2013.  As of March 31, 2013, all 1,997,500 warrants were still outstanding.  As of the date of their issuance, the warrants were determined to have a fair value of $1.02.  The Company determined this valuation through use of a binomial pricing model, the assumptions in valuing these Warrants consisted of:
 
Volatility – 163.67%, based on the Company’s Historical Stock Price
Probability of Occurrence – 100%, based on the expectation and discussions the Company held with additional investors during and after the consummation of this private placement
Risk Free Rate – 2.70%, based on the long-term US Treasury rate

Preferred Stock

Series A Preferred Stock

The Company’s founder and current Chief of Technology holds all outstanding 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.  These shares have no participation rights, however, they carry super voting rights in which each share of Preferred Stock has 100:1 times the voting rights of common stock.
 
Series B Preferred Stock
 
The Series B Preferred Stock was created pursuant to the Certificate of Designation setting forth the powers, designations, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on December 24, 2012 (the “Series B Designation”).  Pursuant to the Series B Designation, the Series B Preferred Stock are convertible at the election of the holder into shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company, at the rate of seven (7) shares of Common Stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to proportional adjustment for stock splits, combinations, consolidations, stock dividends, stock distributions, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications and other similar events. Upon any conversion, a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock must convert all shares of Series B Preferred Stock then held by such holder. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock that remain outstanding on June 30, 2014 shall be automatically converted into Common Stock.
 
Pursuant to the Series B Designation, in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders of the Company, prior and in preference to any distribution to the holders of any other capital stock of the Company, an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the original purchase price for such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will vote together with the Common Stock and not as a separate class, except as otherwise required by law.  Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The approval of the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock will be required to amend the Certificate of Designation or to alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a manner that adversely affects such shares.
 
The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock; provided, however, in the event the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) declares and pays a dividend in respect of any Common Stock, then the Board shall declare and pay to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock in an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible on the record date established by the Board or under applicable law for such dividend multiplied by the per share amount declared and paid in respect of each share of Common Stock.
 
The Series B Preferred Stock was valued at the subscribed amount less issue costs. The beneficial conversion feature was valued using the number of common shares available upon conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the differential between the closing market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the execution of the subscription agreements and the exercise price of the conversion option, the number of shares and market prices are as follows:
 
Date of Closing

    860,544     $ 0.80  
December 31, 2012

January 31, 2013
    109,000     $ 1.29  
Total     2,300,000          
 
The beneficial conversion feature was valued at $2,451,378 on the Preferred Stock Subscribed as at December 31, 2012, and issued during the period ended March 31, 2013, and at $2,817,622 on the additional Preferred Stock Series B shares issued during the period. The beneficial conversion feature is then amortized into accumulated paid in capital as a deemed dividend, since the conversion option may be exercised at any time, the beneficial conversion feature will be amortized over eighteen months, which is the term of the conversion option. During the period ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized a deemed dividend of $800,818 related to the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature.
 
The Company incurred stock issue costs in relation to the Series B Preferred Stock.  Stock issue costs of $29,361 were recorded for the Series B Preferred Stock Subscribed as at December 31, 2012, which were issued during the period ending March 31, 2013.  Stock issue costs of $39,154 were recorded for the Series B Preferred Stock subscribed and issued during the period ending March 31, 2013.
 
NOTE 12 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS AND AWARDS
 
The Company’s 2012 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) provides for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to members of management and key employees. The 2012 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company, or in the absence of a committee, the full board of directors of the Company.
 
Valuation of Awards
 
The per-share fair value of each stock option with a service period condition was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There has not been an issuance of stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2013 or March 31, 2012.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s financial instruments by the following three categories as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities

We have elected to use the income approach to value the short term note receivable, using observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled, to transact.  Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically Prime interest rates). Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements. Fair value measurement of the asset must reflect the nonperformance risk of the counterparty. Therefore, the impact of the counterparty’s creditworthiness has also been factored into the fair value measurement and did not have a material impact on the fair value of these derivative instruments.  The counterparty is expected to perform under the contractual terms of the note receivable.  Additionally, during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized an increase in the carrying value of its short term note receivable of approximately $6,139 of interest income related to this note, which has been classified as net interest income in the statement of operations.
 
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has no non-financial assets or liabilities that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, and our other financial assets or liabilities generally consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash held in attorney’s trust, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, mortgage payable, short-term loans and stock subscriptions payable.  The estimated fair values of our cash and cash equivalents is determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of the other financial assets and liabilities is based on the value that would be received or paid in an orderly transaction between market participants and approximates the carrying value due to their nature and short duration.

NOTE 14 – SEGMENTED REPORTING
 
The Company has two operating segments, Plastic2Oil and Data Recovery & Migration. These operating segments were determined based on the nature of the products and services offered. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker, and directs the allocation of resources to operating segments based on the profitability and cash flows of each respective segment.
 
 
19

 
 
The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is net income. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in “Note 2: Summary of Accounting Policies.” The following tables show the operations of the Company’s reportable segments:

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

The following management’s discussion and analysis (the “MD&A”) of the results of operations contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws.  Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, goals and expectations, including expectations about our future financial or operating performance and ours projects, capital expenditures, capital needs, government regulation of the industry, environmental risks, limitations of insurance coverage, and the timing and possible outcome of regulatory matters, including the granting of patents and permits.  Words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “attempt”, “may”, “will”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “estimate”, and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward looking information. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.
 
These statements are based on and were developed using a number of factors and assumptions including, but not limited to: stability in the U.S. and other foreign economies; stability in the availability and pricing of raw materials, energy and supplies; stability in the competitive environment; our continued ability to access cost effective capital when needed; and no unexpected or unforeseen events occurring that would materially alter our’s current plans.   All of these assumptions have been derived from statements currently available to us including information obtained by us from third party sources. Although management believes that these assumptions are reasonable, these assumptions may prove to be incorrect in whole or in part. As a result of these and other factors, actual results may differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward looking statements, which reflect our expectations only as of the date hereof.
 
Factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed, implied or forecasted by the forward looking statements include risks associated with general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; risks associated with changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; risks associated with failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; risks associated with accidents or labor disputes; risks associated in delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing, or in the completion of development or construction activities; risks associated with financial leverage and the availability of capital; risks associated with the price of commodities and our inability to control commodity prices; risks associated with the regulatory environment within which we operate; risks associated with litigation including the availability of insurance; and risks posed by competition. These and other factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed, implied or forecasted by the forward looking statements are discussed in more detail in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part IA of the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
 
We do not intend to, and the Company disclaims any obligation to, update any forward looking statements , whether written or oral, or whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

For financial reporting purposes, we operate two business segments, which are our fuel production business using our P2O solution, which also includes revenue from waste paper fiber and our Data Recovery & Migration Business.  Previously, we operated an electronic and video equipment distribution business, conducted by Javaco, Inc. (“Javaco”).  As of March 31, 2013, no assets related to Javaco remained on the books.  For the period ending March 31, 2012, the operations of Javaco have been classified as discontinued.    
 
Our P2O business has begun the transition from research and development to a commercial production business. We anticipate that this segment will continue to grow and ultimately will account for substantially all of our revenues for the remainder of 2013 and periods thereafter.   Historically, however, our revenues have been derived primarily from our other segments and products, including those noted above as discontinued operations.

Our P2O solution is a proprietary process that converts waste plastic into fuel through a series of chemical reactions.  We developed this process in 2009 and began limited commercial production in 2010 following our receipt of a consent order from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“NYSDEC”) allowing us to commercially operate our first large-scale P2O processor located at our Niagara Falls, New York facility.  Currently, as of the filing of this report, we have two operational P2O processors and are in the process of assembling a third, all of which are located in Niagara Falls, NY.  Each of these processors are capable of producing naphtha, Fuel Oil No. 2 and Fuel Oil No. 6, which are fuels produced to the specifications published by ASTM International, the organization that establishes the international technical standards for fuel products.  Our process also produces two by-products, an off-gas similar to natural gas and a petcoke carbon residue.  The off-gas is used in our process to fuel the burners when the processors are in steady operating state and the petcoke carbon residue is scrapped.  We currently sell our fuel product to fuel wholesalers and directly to commercial and industrial end-users.

Our P2O process accepts certain mixed, unwashed waste plastics. Although many sources of plastic waste are available, we concentrate our feedstock procurement efforts on sources primarily including post-commercial and industrial waste plastic.  Generally, this waste stream offers a more constant supply of the same waste streams, requiring less ongoing testing of the plastics and more consistent deliveries of feedstock.

As we move from research and development to commercial production, we plan to grow from both expansion of current production capabilities and through expansion of new locations and processors.  In the future, we do not anticipate providing updates at a processor by processor level. However, in an effort to give a update, the following is the current status of our processors as of the date of this filing:
 
Processor #1 – This is our first processor that was built and provided key research and development data.  The new layout of Processor #1 has resulted in a lower feedrate than our other processor, however, we have been able to have regular runs, consisting of lower amounts of feedstock and shorter timeframes from this processor, while still generating high quality fuel.  The run times and amount of feedstock able to be processed during a cycle is dependent on the types of feedstock put into the processor.

Processor #2 – The second processor operated throughout the first quarter.  As previously disclosed, during January 2013, after the successful testing of processing heat transfer fluid through Processor #2, we had residual downtime on the processor caused by certain preventative maintenance and follow-up testing from the heat transfer fluid trial period.  Also, as previously disclosed, weather related feedstock issues also contributed to downtime during January and the early part of February.  Since then, we have been operating Processor #2 on a regular basis based on our production schedules.
 
Processor #3 – The assembly of the third processor is nearing completion.  at our Niagara Falls facility.  Highlights of the progress include:
·  All kilns and towers are in place;
·  Erection of the emission stack is nearly complete;
·  50,000 gallons of new fuel storage tanks are in place and connected;
·  Two new loading docks are in place to enable increased material handling of feedstock;
·  Testing of all subsystems is expected to begin shortly.
 
Other –We are continuing to negotiate the final site details with RockTenn and have been in constant contact with our fabricator partners regarding the longer lead time components for this site.  We expect that upon final approval of the contracts, we will have the components ready to begin construction.
 
 
Routinely, our fuel buyers have communicated that they are very pleased with the quality of all of our fuel products.  Our fuel is sold without the need for additives or further refining, directly from our processors to our customers.  We remain extremely satisfied with our processors’ ability to make a range of fuels, which allows us to take advantage of changing market conditions.  
 
Data Recovery & Migration Business
 
In 2009 the Company purchased the Data Recovery & Migration Assets (“Data Assets”) from John Bordynuik, Inc., thereby providing the Company with the ability to operate what was once John Bordynuik, Inc.’s data restoration and recovery business. This was a business originally developed by our founder, John Bordynuik in 2006.

The Data Recovery & Migration Business is not as capital intensive as the other businesses of JBI, but is time consuming with regards to the allocation of the time of John Bordynuik, our founder. Revenues for this segment will vary based on the availability of Mr. Bordynuik to dedicate portions of his time to reading and interpreting the data from our customers’ media.

Results of Operations

Quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to March 31, 2012

Revenue

Revenue is primarily derived from our P2O business through the sale of our fuels and processed waste paper fiber.  Additionally, from time to time, we are able to supplement this revenue with revenue from our Data Business through reading and interpreting magnetic tape media, dependent on the time constraints of our founder, John Bordynuik.  The following table shows a breakdown of our revenues from these sources.

Our fuel revenue comprised approximately 66% of our total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, as compared to approximately 53% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  Fuel sales are based on either a set pricing structure with our customers or the prevailing market rate for the specific type of fuel being sold.  Our fuels are sold under both long term sale contracts with specified pricing or through the issuance of purchase orders by our customers.  Generally, we are able to obtain a higher price per gallon for our Fuel Oil No. 2 as compared to Fuel Oil No. 6, and a significantly lower price for our Naphtha.  The increase in fuel revenue in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 was mainly due to increased production from Processor #2, which came online in March of 2012 and increased output from Processor #1 which did not produce any fuel subsequent to early February 2012.  The following tables provide a comparison of production and sales of our three specific fuels for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 as well as a comparison of our average price per gallon of fuel sold in each of the two periods.

Revenues from the Data Business were driven by the completion of open and outstanding purchase orders.  During the first quarter of 2013, we were able to complete certain open orders and ship them to the customer and recognize the related revenue.

Cost of Goods Sold

Our costs of goods sold consist of feedstock procurement costs, overhead incurred at both our recycling facility in Thorold, Ontario and our Niagara Falls, NY facility as well as the freight associated with the shipments of our plastics and fuels.  The costs incurred at our recycling facility are directly proportional to the amount of plastic that is processed at this facility as well as the costs incurred to process waste paper fiber.   Our feedstock procurement strategy is geared towards obtaining significant amounts of high quality feedstock at the lowest pricing available.  The following table provides a breakdown of the costs of goods sold:

For the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recorded a total gross profit of $36,841 and $48,613, respectively.
 
The gross profit related to our fuel sales for the first quarter of 2013 was positively impacted by our ability to secure pricing for feedstock that was lower than during the same period of 2012.
 
Our gross profit of $29,372 related to waste paper fiber was mainly driven by the commodities markets for the product.  We are generally able to procure waste paper fiber at low costs and then bale the raw materials for sales to local paper mills.  Additionally, we use the waste paper fiber markets to gain access to other feedstock waste streams.
   
The gross profit of $6,460 in the Data Business was mainly due to the limited capital needed to read the magnetic tapes and minimal staffing that we maintain to perform these functions.

Operating Expenses
 
We incurred operating expenses of $2,755,074 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $3,067,804 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  This is a decrease in the current period, mainly driven by a decrease in accounting fees and stock compensation expense, and offset by increases in payroll as the Company continues to execute on the construction of the third processor, legal fees as the Company continues to work diligently to finalize all outstanding litigation and insurance costs, which are related to the Company’s expansion and need for additional coverage.  A breakdown of the components of operating expenses for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

Gain on Fair Value Measurement of Equity Derivative Liability
 
For the quarter ended March 31, 2012 we recorded a gain of $213,812 on the fair value measurement of the price protection clause contained in the Private Placement that occurred in January 2012.   This gain was based on the difference between the closing price of our common stock on the valuation date (January 6, 2012) when we closed the private placement and the closing price of our common stock when the price protection clause was triggered (June 7, 2012) and subsequently paid to the requisite investors.  There was no such clause in any future private placement and thus, no similar amount in the period ending March 31, 2013.
 
Income Tax Expenses
 
For the quarters ending March 31, 2013 and 2012, we had no federal taxable income due to net losses and have recorded a deferred tax asset and a valuation allowance to the extent that those assets are attributable to net operating losses. We recognized the valuation allowance because we are unsure as to the ability to use these assets in the near future due to continued operating losses.  

For the quarters ending March 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $Nil current income tax and future income tax expenses from continuing operations.
 
Net Loss
 
We incurred a net loss of $2,714,521 in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to a net loss of $2,828,229 in the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  These losses consisted of losses from continuing operations of $2,714,521 and $2,770,493 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and losses from discontinued operations of $Nil and $57,736 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The decrease in net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was driven mainly by the exclusion of the losses on discontinued operations from Javaco which were included in 2012, coupled with the reductions in operating expenses we realized in the current year, as discussed previously.   
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2013 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,963,490 on hand.  The Company does not currently have a formal cash management policy in place but continues to investigate the potential for implementing one to manage future cash flow.

The Company’s cash flow for the periods are summarized below:

The Company does not generate sufficient cash to fund operations and it has limited capital resources. To fund operations during its development, the Company has primarily relied on net proceeds from the sale of its equity securities in private placement transactions. If the Company fails to raise additional capital as and when needed, then it may be forced to severely curtail or cease operations.  There can be no assurance that financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. If the Company raises additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities may result in dilution to existing stockholders.

The Company’s limited capital resources and recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and may adversely affect the ability to raise additional capital. The audit report prepared by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm relating to its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
In the periods ending March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had significant charges included in the reported Net Loss that had no effect on cash flows.  In both periods, these charges included depreciation of property, plant and equipment, allowances for uncollectible amounts, and stock issued for services.  In addition, in the prior period ending March 31, 2012, the Company recorded an adjustment for the mark-to-market adjustment of the Company’s derivative equity liability related to the price protection clause issued to investors in the Company’s January 2012 private offering.  There were no such clauses in recent placements and therefore, no corresponding amounts arose in the quarter ending March 31, 2013.
 
Investing activities include the Company’s cash investment in property, plant and equipment which amounted to $1,024,507 in the current period, as compared to $1,218,895 in the first quarter of 2012.   As we continue to grow and expand the number of processors, potential P2O location and make any necessary modifications to the processor, buildings housing the processors and other enhancements, we expect to continue to make significant investment in property, plant and equipment in future periods.
 
Financing activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 represent the cash received upon the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock during the period. During the same period of 2012, cash from financing activities represented cash received from stock issuances and stock subscription advances as well as short term loans, offset by repayments of stock subscription advances.  We expect to rely upon proceeds from future private placements of equity and debt securities to implement our growth and construction plans and meet our liquidity needs going forward.
 
While the Company has been successful in securing financing, in sufficient amounts and under suitable terms, to meet its needs in the past there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than those items listed in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements as Commitments.
 
Transactions with Related parties

There are no related party transactions to report.   
 
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

The Company believes the following discussion addresses its most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

The Company has disclosed its accounting policies in “NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  The following accounting policies provide an update to those included under the same captions in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for impairment of intangible assets, share based compensation, asset retirement obligations, inventory obsolescence, accrued liabilities and accounts receivable exposures and the valuation of the equity derivative liability and warrants.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable represent unsecured obligations due from customers under terms requesting payments upon receipt of invoice up to ninety days, depending on the customer. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and are stated at the amounts billed to the customer net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Customer balances with invoices over 90 days old are considered delinquent. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer remittance, or if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoice.
 
 
28

 
 
The allowance for uncollectible accounts reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that may not be collected based on an analysis of the age of receivables and the credit standing of individual customers. Accounts receivable determined to be uncollectible are recognized using the allowance method. The allowance for uncollectible accounts for the period ended March 31, 2013 and year ended December 31, 2012 was $10,507 and $57,991.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories, consist of plastics and processed fuel at P2O and are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company uses an average costing method for determining cost (see Note 4). Inventories are periodically reviewed for use and obsolescence, and adjusted as necessary.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets on an asset by asset basis. Impairment is recognized on properties held for use when the expected undiscounted cash flows for a property are less than its carrying amount at which time the property is written-down to fair value. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. The sale or disposal of a “component of an entity” is treated as discontinued operations. The operating properties sold by the Company typically meet the definition of a component of an entity and as such the revenues and expenses associated with sold properties are reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations

The fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligations is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets when identified and a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The asset retirement cost, equal to the estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation, is capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset. The asset retirement costs are depreciated over the asset’s estimated useful life and are included in amortization expense on the consolidated statements of income. Increases in the asset retirement obligation resulting from the passage of time are recorded as accretion of asset retirement obligation in the consolidated statements of operations. Actual expenditures incurred are charged against the accumulated obligation.  The balance of such asset retirement obligation is included in other long-term liabilities with balances of $29,644 and $29,423 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
 
Environmental Contingencies

We record environmental liabilities at their undiscounted amounts on our balance sheet as other current or long-term liabilities when environmental assessments indicate that remediation efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. These costs may be discounted to reflect the time value of money if the timing of the cash payments is fixed or reliably determinable and extends beyond a current period.   Estimates of our liabilities are based on currently available facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into consideration the likely effects of other societal and economic factors, and include estimates of associated legal costs. These amounts also consider prior experience in remediating contaminated sites, other companies’ clean-up experience and data released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or other organizations. Our estimates are subject to revision in future periods based on actual costs or new circumstances. We capitalize costs that benefit future periods and we recognize a current period charge in operation and maintenance expense when clean-up efforts do not benefit future periods.
 
We evaluate any amounts paid directly or reimbursed by government sponsored programs and potential recoveries or reimbursements of remediation costs from third parties including insurance coverage separately from our liability. Recovery is evaluated based on the creditworthiness or solvency of the third party, among other factors. When recovery is assured, we record and report an asset separately from the associated liability on our balance sheet. No amounts for recovery have been accrued to date.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and collection is reasonably assured.  The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

P2O sales are recognized when the customers take possession of the fuel since at that stage the customer has completed all prior testing necessary for their acceptance of the fuel. At the time of possession they have arranged for transportation to pick it up and the sales price has either been set in contract or negotiated prior to the time of pick up. The Company negotiates the pricing of the fuel based on the quality of the product and the type of fuel being sold (i.e. Naphtha, Fuel Oil No.6 or Fuel Oil No. 2).

Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We may be exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of business. Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur as a result of movements in interest rates and equity prices. We currently do not use financial instruments in the normal course of business that are subject to changes in financial market conditions.
 
Currency Fluctuations and Foreign Currency Risk
 
The Company mainly operates in the United States and Canada.  Due to the relative stability of the Canadian Dollar in comparison to the U.S. Dollar, we do not have significant foreign currency risk.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
We deposit surplus funds with banks earning daily interest. We do not invest in any instruments for trading purposes. All of our outstanding debt instruments carry fixed rates of interests. The amount of current portion of capital leases outstanding as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $23,223 and $23,068, respectively. We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our capital leases and mortgage.
 
Management monitors the banks’ prime rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.
 
Credit Risk
 
We have not experienced significant credit risk, as most of our customers are long-term customers with superior payment records. Our receivables are monitored regularly by our credit managers.
 
Inflation Risk
 
Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

Controls and Procedures

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO), we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2013.  Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 
 
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
During the period covered by this report, in order to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, we have taken numerous steps to address the underlying causes of the internal control deficiencies, primarily through the development of and documentation of policies and processes as well as the implementation of these policies and procedures.  

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
  
We are subject to various types of litigation arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We believe we have adequate reserves for these liabilities and that there is no individual case or group of related cases pending that is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Other than the litigation described immediately below, we are not engaged in any litigation which we believe is material to our operations. Additionally, we maintain insurance policies with insurers in amounts and with coverage and deductibles as our board of directors believes are reasonable and prudent.  However, we cannot be assured that this insurance will be adequate to protect us from all material expenses related to potential future claims for personal and property damage or that these levels of insurance will be available in the future at economical prices.

As previously reported, on January 4, 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil complaint in federal court in Massachusetts against us. The complaint alleges that we reported materially false and inaccurate financial information in our financial statements (which were later restated) for the third quarter of 2009 and the year end 2009 by overvaluing certain media credits (“Media Credits”) on its balance sheet, in violation of, among other things, the antifraud, reporting, books and records, internal controls and periodic report certification provisions of the U.S. Securities Laws.  The Complaint named the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and current Chief of Technology, John Bordynuik, and its former Chief Financial Officer, Ronald Baldwin, Jr., as co-defendants. Among other relief requested, the complaint sought an order requiring the defendants to pay unspecified disgorgement and civil penalty amounts.  Subsequent to year-end, the SEC approved a settlement under which the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer and current Chief of Technology, John Bordynuik, would pay fines of $150,000 and $110,000, respectively, and consent to the imposition of injunctions against future violations.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the court approved this settlement and the Company paid $150,000 which had previously been accrued for and was classified as cash held in attorney trust at December 31, 2012.
