EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 3 on Form 10-K amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “Original Report”) and is being filed by Blue Earth, Inc. (the “Company”) f/k/a Genesis Fluid Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“Genesis”); f/k/a Cherry Tankers, Inc. (“CT”) solely to include the report of Lake & Associates, CPA’s in place of the audit report of Davis Accounting Group, P.C. which the Company previously removed as described below. There were no changes to the numbering in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes previously filed.
The financial statements of Genesis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, contained in the Original Report filed on April 15, 2010, were audited by Davis Accounting Group P.C. The audit report was issued by Davis Accounting Group, P.C. from Cedar City, Utah and was dated November 11, 2009. The license of Mr. Edwin Reese Davis, Jr. and his firm, Davis Accounting Group, P.C., lapsed on September 30, 2008 and was formally revoked as of November 4, 2010 by the Utah Division of Occupational & Professional Licensing (“DOPL”) after the Original Report had been filed.
You can find a copy of the order at https://secure.utah.gov/llv/search/detail.html?license_id=3599263.
As Davis Accounting Group, P.C. was not licensed when it issued its audit reports on the Company’s financial statements, we may not include its audit reports in our filings with the Commission.
Unless expressly noted otherwise, the disclosures in this Form 10-K/A continue to speak as of the date of the Original Report, and do not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report. For additional information on subsequent events, the reader should refer to the Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q and Forms 8-K the Company has filed in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The filing of this Form 10-K/A shall not be deemed an admission that the Original Report, when made, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Genesis Fluid Solutions, Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Genesis Fluid Solutions, Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Genesis Fluid Solutions, Ltd. as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced operating losses, and has negative working capital. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Genesis Fluid Solutions, Ltd. (“Genesis” or the “Company”) is an environmental company that supplies a Rapid Dewatering System (“RDS”) technology for dredged material, including fine-grained sediment, for lake and waterway restoration. The Company was incorporated on October 26, 2005 under the laws of the State of Colorado. The accompanying financial statements of Genesis were prepared from the accounts of the Company under the accrual basis of accounting.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers, and employees. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts in amounts sufficient to absorb potential losses on accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary. While management uses the best information available upon which to base estimates, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used for the purpose of analysis.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues from professional services contracts.
Revenues from professional services are recognized on a completed-contract basis, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “ Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ” (“SAB No. 104”) and Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. ” Revenues are recognized when completion of professional services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by the customer, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is probable. Customers are billed, according to individual agreements, typically based upon the amount of cubic yards of material processed. All professional service costs are deferred and recognized on completion of the contract and customer acceptance. A provision is made for the amount of any expected loss on a contract at the time it is known. The Company is transitioning to a licensing model, under which it will not be performing dredging services. Under such a contract arrangement, license fees would typically be paid to the Company at a negotiated, flat monthly rate not tied to the volume of material processed.
The Company is not required to perform significant post-delivery obligations, does not provide warranties and does not allow product returns. As such, no provision is made for costs of this nature.
The Company does not sell products with multiple deliverables. It is management’s opinion that EITF 00-21, “ Revenue Arrangements With Multiple Deliverables, ” is not applicable.

Inventory
Inventory is stated at the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost method or market. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, no allowance for obsolescence or slow moving inventory was deemed necessary.
Property and Equipment
The components of property and equipment are stated at cost. Property and equipment costs are depreciated or amortized for financial reporting purposes over the useful lives of the related assets by the straight-line method. Useful lives utilized by the Company for calculating depreciation or amortization are as follows:
| Computer and office equipment |
| 3 to 5 years |
| Equipment and tools |
| 5 to 10 years |
Upon disposition of an asset, its cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Patent Rights
The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the application for and issuance of international patents related to its technology. Such costs are classified as patents pending in the accompanying financial statements until such time as the patents are issued. After issuance of the patents, the related costs are amortized over the useful life of the related patents. For the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded patent amortization of approximately $4,400 and $4,400, respectively.
Lease Obligations
All non-cancellable leases with an initial term which is greater than one year are categorized as either capital or operating leases. Assets recorded under capital leases are amortized according to the same methods employed for property and equipment or over the term of the related lease, if shorter.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company uses the fair value recognition provision of FASB No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), which requires the Company to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date.
The Company also uses the provisions of EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (“EITF 96-18”), to account for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services. Such awards for services are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in EITF 96-18.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets and the related estimated remaining lives when events or circumstances lead management to believe that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For the period ended December 31, 2008, as a result of an analysis by management, the Company determined that an impairment charge and write off of certain pieces of RDS equipment were appropriate. The Company recorded an impairment reserve as of December 31, 2008 of $124,630 and wrote off the net book value of RDS equipment amounting to $174,125. No other events or circumstances occurred for which an evaluation of the recoverability of long-lived assets was required.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Research and Development Costs
The Company conducts research and development activities. All costs incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred.
Advertising and Promotion Costs
Advertising and promotion costs are charged to operations when incurred. For the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, advertising and promotion costs amounted to approximately $8,000 and $29,000, respectively.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company presents comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with FASB Statement No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (“SFAS No. 130”). SFAS No. 130 states that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income (loss) be reported in the financial statements. For the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the only components of comprehensive (loss) were the net (loss) for the periods, and the foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company accounts for foreign currency translation pursuant to FASB Statement No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” (“SFAS No. 52”). The Company’s functional currency is the United States Dollar but it has a capital lease obligation that is denominated in Euros. Under SFAS No. 52, the capital lease obligation denominated in Euros is translated into United States Dollars using the current exchange rate at the end of each fiscal period. Such debt translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the period. Expenses are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the respective periods. Translation gains or losses related to operating and interest expenses are recognized for each reporting period in the related statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period under Federal tax laws.
Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s financial instruments approximated fair value due to the nature and short-term maturity of such instruments.
Concentration of Risk
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company maintained its cash account at one commercial bank. The balance in the account is subject to FDIC coverage of up to $250,000.
Estimates
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and revenues and expenses for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Segment reporting
The Company has adopted FASB Statement No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” (“SFAS No. 131”) requires a business enterprise, based upon a management approach, to disclose financial and descriptive information about its operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker(s) of an enterprise. Under this definition, the Company operated as a single segment for all periods presented. The single segment is comprised of our Dewatering segment. All of our sales in the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were to customers in the United States of America.

DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007
(2) Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses through December 31, 2008 and 2007, and has insufficient cash resources and revenues to cover its on-going operating costs and business plan. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
While management of the Company believes that the Company will be successful in increasing its working capital from operations, the generation of additional business revenues from new and existing clients, and additional capital formation activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate the funds needed to meet its debt and working capital obligations under its business plan, or be successful in the sale of its services to generate sufficient revenues to allow the Company to achieve profitability, and to sustain its operations.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
(3) Accrued Liabilities
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, accrued liabilities consisted of the following:

(8) Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters:
From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business.
Except as described below, no legal proceedings, government actions, administrative actions, investigations or claims are currently pending against us or involve the Company which, in the opinion of the management of the Company, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition.
There are no proceedings in which any of the Directors, officers, or affiliates of the Company, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to that of the Company.
On May 27, 2008, Eagle North America, Inc. (“Eagle”), which provided certain equipment and consulting services to the Company, filed suit against the Company and Michael Hodges, Chief Executive Officer and Director, for monies owed pursuant to an equipment lease agreement between Eagle and the Company. Eagle claimed damages of $152,103.28. The Company made counter claims against Eagle for a breach of representations and warranties and alleged damages related to the performance and operation of certain leased equipment and losses incurred as a result of its inadequate operation and maintenance of approximately $280,000. The two parties entered mediation in November 2008.
On June 26, 2009, the parties entered into a settlement agreement under which Eagle dismissed its claims against the Company, and the Company dismissed its claims against Eagle. The settlement agreement provided that the Company was to pay Eagle the sum of $152,000 payable as follows;
| • |
| $25,000.00 within thirty days of the settlement, and |
|
|
|
|
| • |
| thereafter 15 equal installments of $8,466.67 beginning on August 26, 2009 |
Other Contingencies:
In September 2006, the Company entered into a five year exclusive license agreement with an entity located in the Netherlands (the “Entity”) to complete projects and develop the revenues and marketing presence of the Company in the Netherlands, France, and Germany. Though never consummated, it was the intent of the parties to enter into a joint venture. The parties completed one project, which has become the subject of a dispute. Each party has alleged certain damages and defenses as a result of the project. However, the parties are working together to resolve the matter.

(8) Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
To conduct the project completed with the Entity, the Company relocated certain RDS equipment from the United States to the Netherlands. The RDS equipment transferred is currently under the control of the Entity, and is part of the dispute between the parties described above. During the period ended December 31, 2008, the Company wrote off $174,125 in net book value of RDS equipment located in the Netherlands, which management of the Company
believes is not in suitable operating condition, and provided a 50 percent reserve for impairment in the carrying value of other RDS equipment, in the amount of $124,630, also under control of the Entity.
At December 31, 2008, the extent of any additional loss, contingent or otherwise, was not determinable or probable of occurrence and as a result, no general reserve for the dispute has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements of the Company. Further, as of December 31, 2008, no formal legal claim had been filed with any jurisdiction by either party.
Commitments:
In June 2009 but effective as of Novembers 2008, the Company signed a Contractor Agreement (the “Contractor Agreement”) with Carol Shobrook (“Shobrook”) for consulting services. The Contractor Agreement called for payments to Shobrook based on a 40-hour week at $37 per hour. However, upon the earlier of November 1, 2009 or after two projects were awarded to the Company the rate was scheduled to increase to $52 per hour. The Contractor Agreement was terminable by either party with 14 days notice. However, if the Contractor Agreement was terminated by the Company, Shobrook is entitled to a payment of $300,000 in cash upon termination. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had not been awarded two projects. Further, in October 2009, the Contractor Agreement was terminated by the parties without any amounts due to Shobrook.
(9) Employee Benefit Plan
The Company does not maintain any employee benefit plans as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company maintains a key man life insurance for the benefit of Michael Hodges, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company.
(10) Income Taxes
The Company was originally formed in October 2005 as an “S” corporation and filed its federal and state income tax returns according to the rules and regulations of that section of the Internal Revenue Code. On October 31, 2007, the Company revoked its status as an “S” corporation and converted to a “C” corporation.
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,730,000 and $195,000 for Federal and state tax purposes, which expire in various amounts through 2027. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon future income, if any, the amount and timing of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
Under the provision of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, when there has been a change in an entity’s ownership of 50 percent or greater, utilization of net operating loss carry forwards may be limited. As a result of the Company’s equity transactions, the Company’s net operating losses will be subject to such limitations and may not be available to offset future income for tax purposes.

Utilization of the net operating losses and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization and in the event we have a change of ownership, utilization of the carryforwards could be restricted.

The Company has determined that its net deferred tax asset did not satisfy the recognition criteria set forth in SFAS No. 109 and, accordingly, established a valuation allowance for 100 percent of the net deferred tax asset. Given lack of earnings history and anticipated future losses, as of December 31, 2008, and 2007, the net deferred tax assets were fully offset by a valuation allowance.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. The Company files income tax returns under Federal tax laws and in Colorado. The Company’s federal income tax returns for tax years 2005 and beyond remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company’s Colorado income returns for tax years 2005 and beyond remain subject to examination by the Department of Revenue. In addition, all of the net operating losses that may be used in future years are subject to adjustment.
The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months. In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company will recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. For the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
(11) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ” (SFAS No. 159), which permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. An entity would report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The decision about whether to elect the fair value option is applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions; the decision is irrevocable; and it is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS No. 159 requires disclosures that facilitate comparisons (a) between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities and (b) between assets and liabilities in the financial statements of an entity that selects different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. Upon implementation, an entity shall report the effect of the first re-measurement to fair value as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Since the provisions of SFAS No. 159 are applied prospectively, any potential impact will depend on the instruments selected for fair value measurement at the time of implementation. The management of the Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations - Revised 2007” (“SFAS No. 141R”), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141, “ Business Combinations .” SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements intending to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This is accomplished through requiring the acquirer to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. This includes contractual contingencies only if it is more likely than not that they meet the definition of an asset of a liability in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, “ Elements of Financial Statements - a replacement of FASB Concepts Statement No. 3. ” This statement also requires the acquirer to recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date, measured as a residual. However, this statement improves the way in which an acquirer’s obligations to make payments conditioned on the outcome of future events are recognized and measured, which in turn improves the measure of goodwill. This statement also defines a bargain purchase as a business combination in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and it requires the acquirer to recognize excess in earnings as a gain attributable to the acquirer. This, therefore, improves

the representational faithfulness and completeness of the information provided about both the acquirer’s earnings during the period in which it makes a bargain purchase and the measures of the assets acquired in the bargain purchase. The management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information in its consolidated financial statements. This is accomplished by requiring all entities, except not-for-profit organizations, that prepare consolidated financial statements to (a) clearly identify, label, and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; (b) clearly identify and present both the parent’s and the noncontrolling’s interest attributable consolidated net income on the face of the consolidated statement of income; (c) consistently account for changes in parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in subsidiary and for all transactions that are economically similar to be accounted for similarly; (d) measure of any gain, loss, or retained noncontrolling equity at fair value after a subsidiary is deconsolidated; and (e) provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This Statement also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods on or after December 15, 2008. The management of Genesis does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: (a) an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” ; and (c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Specifically, FASB No. 161 requires:
| • |
| Disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation; |
|
|
|
|
| • |
| Disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format; |
|
|
|
|
| • |
| Disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features; and |
|
|
|
|
| • |
| Cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which derivative-related information is disclosed. |
FASB No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Earlier application is encouraged. The management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The sources of accounting principles that are generally accepted are categorized in descending order as follows:

On May 26, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts ” (“SFAS No. 163”). SFAS No. 163 clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, “ Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises ” (“SFAS No. 60”), applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts.
The accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 163 are intended to improve the comparability and quality of information provided to users of financial statements by creating consistency. Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under SFAS No. 60, “ Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. ” That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No. 5, “ Accounting for Contingencies ” (“SFAS No. 5”). SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations and (b) the insurance enterprise’s surveillance or watch list.
SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. Disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities are effective the first period beginning after issuance of SFAS No. 163. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its financial statements.
Reverse merger
On October 12, 2009, the stockholders of Genesis approved an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement’’) by and among the Company, Cherry Tankers, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“CT-DE’), and Genesis Fluid Solutions Acquisition, Corp., a newly formed wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of CT-DE
(“Acquisition Sub’’). Upon closing the merger transaction on October 30, 2009 as described in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger’’), Acquisition Sub will be merged with and into Genesis, and Genesis will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CT-DE. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, following the Merger, CT-DE will change its name to Genesis Fluid Solutions Holdings, Inc.

(12) Subsequent Events
Each share of Genesis common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive ten shares of CT-DE common stock. A total of 948,100 shares of common stock of Genesis will be converted. The remaining outstanding common shares of CT-DE were 1,150,000 shares. Accordingly, the shareholders of the Company are expected to obtain 9,481,000 common shares of a total of 10,631,000 common shares outstanding immediately following the closing of the Merger resulting in an approximate 90 percent controlling voting interest in the consolidated entity. In addition, the Board of Directors and officers of CT-DE are expected to be changed to include existing Directors and officers of Genesis resulting in management control of the entities.
Due to the change in control of CT-DE, the transaction under the Merger Agreement will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition of CT-DE by the Company and recapitalization.
Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company subsequent to the recapitalization will consist of the balance sheets of both companies at historical cost, the historical operations of the Company, and the operations of CT-DE and the Company from the recapitalization date of October 30, 2009. The Company will be deemed to have issued 1,150,000 common shares to the existing pre-recapitalization shareholders of CT-DE.
Private Placement
In connection with the Merger, the Company may accept subscriptions for a total of 300 units in a private placement, each unit consisting of 25,000 shares of our common stock and a three-year warrant to purchase 12,500 common shares at an exercise price of $2 per share, at a purchase price of $25,000 per unit (the “Private Placement”). The Company e may receive maximum proceeds from the Private Placement in the amount of $6,825,000 (net of $675,000 of planned bridge loan conversions) and issue 7,500,000 common shares. In the first closing of the private placement on October 30, 2009, we sold 3,707,500 common shares which resulted in net proceeds of $3,090,000 and included $475,000 of bridge notes which converted to our common stock. We expect to have subsequent closings and sell additional common shares as described above.
The Private Placement was made solely to “accredited investors,’’ as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. The units and the common stock were not registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws.
The common shares to be issued under the Private Placement will be subject to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The agreement states that the registration statement shall be (i) filed within 90 days of the close, (ii) declared effective within 180 days of the close and (iii) kept effective until the earlier of (a) 12 months after the close or (b) the date when all registrable securities have been sold or are able to be sold under Rule 144.
The registration rights agreement contains a liquidated damages provision whereby liquidated damages may accrue and are payable in cash, at the rate of 1 percent of the aggregate amount invested by the investors per 30 day period or pro-rated for partial periods if (i) the registration statement is not filed within 90 days of the close, or (ii) if the registration statement is not declared effective within 180 days of the close. The liquidated damages are limited under the registration rights agreement to a 10 percent maximum amount.
The Company has determined that the registration rights agreement will be considered a derivative instrument subject to classification as a liability at fair value. The maximum liquidated damages amount computed at 10 percent would be $750,000, and the Company will value the derivative liability at fair value subject to that maximum amount.

Convertible Bridge Loan
In May and June 2009, the Company sold $600,000 of convertible notes to lenders. The notes were issued to bridge the Company’s funding requirements through the contemplated Merger period. $400,000 of the notes are automatically convertible and $200,000 convert at the holder’s option, at the conclusion of the Merger or completion of a similar financing transaction. The convertible notes which bear a 10 percent interest rate, are due and payable on the earlier of the completion of the Merger transaction or November 9, 2009. The notes and accrued but unpaid interest are convertible at a rate of 130 percent and are also entitled to the warrant coverage offered to Private Placement investors as part of the transaction.
In September and October 2009, the Company issued an additional $75,000 of convertible notes to two lenders. The convertible notes were issued to bridge the Company’s funding requirements through the Merger period. The notes are convertible at the option of the holders at the conclusion of the Merger or completion of a similar financing transaction. The convertible notes which bear a 10 percent interest rate are due and payable on the earlier of the completion of the Merger transaction or November 9, 2009. The notes and the accrued but unpaid interest are convertible into our common stock at a rate of 130 percent and are also entitled to the warrant coverage offered to Private Placement investors as part of the transaction.$475,000 of these notes converted to common stock as part of the first close of the private placement on October 30, 2009.
Common Stock Cancelations
In October 2009, Michael Hodges, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, cancelled 123,273 common shares held by him. He received no compensation for the cancellation.
In September 2009, several stockholders who had received an aggregate of 197,200 shares of common stock agreed to cancel the shares and accept options to purchase 2,042,000 shares in the post-reverse merger company. The agreements may generally be rescinded by the holder at their discretion if the Merger is not completed by December 31, 2009. The options will have a term of 10 years, and upon issuance, be vested immediately (except for a former Director of the Company whose 770,000 options will vest on April 30, 2010) and have an average strike price of $0.93.
Common Stock issued for Services
In October 2009, the Company issued 258,400 shares of common stock to consultants and received gross proceeds of $258. All of the shares issued to consultants of the Company in exchange for services provided or to be rendered in the future.
