September 30, 2014 Financial Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, revenues were $516,331, as compared to $391,698 for the same period in 2013. Metal cutting revenue was up at $391,991 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $321,699 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Metal cutting revenue was up primarily due to the addition of new customers and a shift in focus to fabrication industries. In addition, overall revenue was up due to the recognition of the balance of the proceeds received from the sale of the gasification system to Kazakhstan.

Operating expenses increased 9% from $4,690,376 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $5,125,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Operating Expenses (excluding non-cash items) decreased 3.6% from $2,712,568 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 versus $2,860,546 during the same period in 2013. This increase was attributed to expenses related to investor relations and research and development related to co-combustion and the oil processing unit. This was offset by general cost savings implemented in the general and administrative area in this quarter. In addition, stock based compensation decreased from $1,180,021 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $1,112,563 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
