Our Company
 
We are an alternative energy company that creates and produces hydrogen-based alternative fuel through the gasification of liquid waste. We have developed a process which transforms various types of liquid waste through a proprietary plasma arc machine. The result of the process is to carbonize the waste for normal disposal. A byproduct of this process is to produce an alternative to natural gas currently sold in the metalworking market. We produce gas bottled in cylinders for the purpose of distribution to the metalworking market as an alternative to acetylene. Additionally, we market, for sale or licensure, our proprietary plasma arc technology (the “Plasma Arc Flow” or “Plasma Arc Flow System”). Through the course of our business development, we have established a retail and wholesale platform to sell our fuel for use in the metalworking and manufacturing industries. In 2010, we recognized our initial sale of a Plasma Arc Flow unit and are continuing efforts to sell or lease additional equipment to end users. We reported a net loss of $2,937,062 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to a net income of $23,600 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and a net loss of $2,860,615 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to a net loss of $714,467 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. We currently use approximately $250,000 per month to fund our operations.
 
Our Industry
 
We focus our efforts on producing and selling fuel and equipment for the metalworking fuel market. This market is currently dominated by acetylene. Acetylene is a gas that is considered toxic, emits soot when it burns and can be volatile. In recent months, several acetylene production plants have exploded, causing a shortage of acetylene and raising prices. MagneGasfuel (“MagneGas”) on the other hand, emits oxygen when it burns and independent users have rated MagneGas as a cleaner alternative to acetylene.
 
According to a recent report on the global market for metalworking gasses by the Freedonia Group, it was reported that “demand for industrial gases in metal welding and fabrication markets is projected to increase 8.6% per year to $5.6 billion in 2014. Gains will be driven primarily by expanding industrial production and construction activity. As a result, the greatest opportunities for growth will emerge in China, India and other developing economies, where industrialization is proceeding most rapidly and where further infrastructural development is key to sustained economic growth. Western Europe, North America and Japan will remain the largest consumers of industrial gases for welding and fabrication markets, although growth opportunities will not equal those of developing economies.”
 
Our Competitive Strengths
 
Patented, sustainable, disruptive technology and fuel source – Our patented Plasma Arc Flow System recycles liquid waste through a patented process, producing a hydrogen-based fuel called MagneGas, which the we believe can become, among other things, a replacement for acetylene.
 
World class technology team We are led by the Chairman of our board of directors and Chief Scientist, Dr. Santilli, who has been nominated for Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry. He is a former professor at both Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has received numerous Department of Energy research grants for the development of chemically unique clean fuel.
 
Immediate commercial applications – Our MagneGas and Plasma Flow Arc technology are now both selling in the United States and globally. We expect our disruptive technology to displace current fuel gases such as acetylene.
 
Multiple revenue channels – We earn revenue from both clean fuel sales (domestic) and big-ticket sales of equipment (international).
 
Rapid growth potential – We expect to grow revenue through rapid growth in production and sales of MagneGas in the acetylene and natural gas markets, as well as through our international licensing agreement in China.

Our Growth Strategies
 
Our current focus is to continue the penetration achieved to date by MagneGas, primarily as an alternative for acetylene, into the global market for metalworking and fabrication gasses, a market which is projected to grow more than 8% annually to $5.6 billion by 2014. 
 
Our top priority is to grow sales of MagneGas primarily through an expanding network of established industrial gas distributors and strategic customers. We have distributors in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida. We also have a retail operation in Florida selling fuel directly to end users. We have obtained approval from the Department of Transportation to deliver fuel in Florida and currently have several customers purchasing fuel directly.
 
Even at current, early stage, modest production rates, we believe we can sell MagneGas for 20% to 30% less than acetylene. We project that this economic advantage over acetylene will become greater as production scales up to meet the demand that is already in the pipeline.
 
And while MagneGas costs are expected to decrease with scaling, some welding industry participants project that the cost of acetylene will rise due to the increasing costs of the calcium carbide from which acetylene is derived. Furthermore, increasingly stringent health and safety regulations will further constrain the production and use of acetylene. In short, we believe the negative economic and regulatory forces acting on acetylene contribute to the beneficial conditions and timing for the adoption of MagneGas as a substitute product.
 
We plan to expand through the use of direct marketing, exhibiting at trade events and networking opportunities. We plan to expand retail operations in Florida by leveraging existing customers for industry introductions. In the remainder of the United States, we plan to install filling stations in various geographically favorable locations and sell fuel to existing welding fuel distributors for quicker market penetration. In countries outside of the United States, we plan to conduct web-based marketing campaigns and attend industry events to attract potential equipment buyers. Those buyers are expected to purchase or lease equipment from us to produce fuel and sell that fuel to market while paying a royalty to us.
 
Our Products
 
We currently have two products: MagneGas and the machines that produce that gas known as Plasma Arc Flow refineries.
 
Fuel
 
We currently produce MagneGas for the metalworking market from a feedstock of virgin ethylene glycol (automotive anti-freeze), which is purchased in bulk from outside suppliers. This is a temporary measure while we secure the permits required to process and handle post-consumer waste feedstock such as ethylene glycol and eventually municipal streams such as sewage and sludge.
 
MagneGas is hydrogen-based and can be used to replace natural gas. It is currently sold as a replacement for acetylene in the metalworking market.
 
MagneGas is comprised of approximately 65% hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other trace gases. It is stored in hydrogen cylinders which are then sold to market. We believe we can sell the cylinders at a 20% to 30% lower price than acetylene.
 
Equipment
 
The Plasma Arc Flow System can gasify many forms of liquid waste such as ethylene glycol, sewage and sludge.
 
Plasma Arc Flow refineries have been configured in various sizes ranging from 50kw to 500kw depending on the application. Plasma Arc Flow refineries range in price from $1 million to $3 million. A 200kw refinery was sold in 2010 to a customer in China for $1.855 million.
 
The patented Plasma Arc Flow System is based on the flow of a carbon-rich, liquid feedstock through an electric arc between two electrodes submerged in the feedstock. The arc decomposes the liquid molecules into atoms and forms an ultra-high temperature plasma around the tips of the electrodes which sterilizes any waste matter. The Plasma Arc Flow System also controls the formation of MagneGas, a hydrogen-rich fuel, which bubbles to the surface of the refining vessel for easy collection and subsequent compression. In this way, liquid waste streams or oils are converted into MagneGas with minimal by-products such as sterilized water (if using sewage as feedstock) and only a small amount of carbonaceous precipitates or other inert solids which are strained out for periodic removal and disposal.
 
Recent Developments
 
We recently began supplying General Motors (“GM) with MagneGas.  GM is trialing the fuel in maintenance and metal-working activities at its Grand Blanc Weld & Tool Center in Flint, Michigan, including assessing its environmental, health and safety impacts. We will ship their fuel cylinders from our production facility in Michigan.
 
On July 16, 2012, we entered into a binding initial contract with Clear Sky Energy S.A. de C.V. (“CSE”) by which CSE will purchase a refinery from us for an aggregate purchase price of $2.7 million plus 5% royalties, calculated based upon our gross revenue. We will provide CSE with a draft of the definitive agreement no later than August 31, 2012, which we expect will be executed no later than November 1, 2012. We have received an initial deposit of $100,000. Upon execution of the definitive agreement and the payment of an initial installment of $865,000, we will have 120 days to build the refinery, or the purchase price will be reduced by $5,000 per week, up to a maximum reduction of $150,000. Upon the installation of the refinery, we will grant CSE a non-exclusive right to distribute MagneGas throughout Latin America and upon the purchase of two refineries, CSE will automatically obtain exclusive rights to distribute MagneGas in Mexico.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our shares of common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this prospectus.
 
Risks Relating to the Company’s Business
 
We have a limited operating history and there can be no assurance that we can achieve or maintain profitability.
 
We have a limited operating history that can be used to evaluate us, and the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays that we may encounter because we are a small business. As a result, we may not be profitable and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to develop as we have planned.
 
Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow will be dependent upon:
 
management’s ability to maintain the technology and skills necessary for our fuel conversion services;
our ability to keep abreast of the changes by the government agencies and law particularly in the areas of intellectual property and environmental regulation;
our ability to attract customers who require the products and services we offer;
our ability to generate revenues through the sale of our products and services to potential clients; and
our ability to manage the logistics and operations of the company and the distribution of our products and services.
 
We have had operating losses since formation and expect to incur net losses for the near term.
 
We reported a net income of $23,600 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and a net loss of $2,907,062 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. We also reported a net loss of $2,860,615 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to a net loss of $714,467 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  We anticipate that we will lose money in the near term and we may not be able to achieve profitable operations. In order to achieve profitable operations we need to secure sales of fuel and Plasma Arc Flow System. The majority of our revenue in 2010 was the result of a one-time sale of a refinery to our partner in China for the Municipal Wastewater market. However, since that time, we determined that better opportunities exist in the metalworking market to generate revenue in the immediate term. As a result, we have shifted our focus from selling refineries for sewage treatment to generating recurring revenue in metalworking fuel sales. This has resulted in a drop in revenue from 2010 to 2011 as we ramp up sales in this new market. We cannot be certain that our business will be successful or that we will generate significant revenues and become profitable.
 
We may need additional funding to continue operations, which may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all.
 
To date we have generated only limited revenue from our products and have not achieved positive cash flows or profitability.  After completion of this offering, we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future as we incur costs associated with the continuation of our research and development programs, expand our sales and marketing capabilities, increase manufacturing of our products and comply with the requirements related to being a U.S. public company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Additional funding may be needed after completion of this offering and it may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we raise additional funding through the issuance of equity securities, our stockholders may suffer dilution and our ability to use our net operating losses to offset future income may be limited. If we raise additional funding through debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, require us to use our cash to make payments under such indebtedness, force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios or restrict our ability to pay dividends or make acquisitions. If we are unable to secure additional funding, our development programs and our commercialization efforts would be delayed, reduced or eliminated, our relationships with our suppliers and customers may be harmed, and we may not be able to continue our operations.
  
The growth of our business depends upon the development and successful commercial acceptance of our products.
 
We depend upon a variety of factors to ensure that our MagneGas and Plasma Arc Flow System are successfully commercialized, including timely and efficient completion of design and development, implementation of manufacturing processes, and effective sales, marketing, and customer service. Because of the complexity of our products, significant delays may occur between development, introduction to the market and volume production phases.
 
The development and commercialization of MagneGas and Plasma Arc Flow System involves many difficulties, including:
 
retention and hiring of appropriate operational, research and development personnel;
determination of the products’ technical specifications;
successful completion of the development process;
successful marketing of MagneGas and Plasma Arc Flow System and achieving customer acceptance;
managing inventory levels, logistics and operations; and
additional customer service and warranty costs associated with supporting product modifications and/or subsequent potential field upgrades.
 
We must expend significant financial and management resources to develop and market our MagneGas and Plasma Arc Flow System. We cannot assure that we will receive meaningful revenue from these investments. If we are unable to continue to successfully develop or modify our products in response to customer requirements or technological changes, or our products are not commercially successful, our business may be harmed.
 
The possibility of a global financial crisis may significantly impact our business and financial condition and our ability to attract customers to our relatively new technology for the foreseeable future.
 
The turmoil in the global financial system may adversely impact our ability to raise capital, invest in the development and refinement of our technology and to successfully market it to new customers. We may face increasing challenges if conditions in the financial markets do not improve over time. Our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to raise financing, which could have a material negative impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. The economic situation could have a material negative impact on our ability to attract new customers willing to try our alternative fuel products or purchase our technology.
 
 
5

 
Failure to comply with government regulations will severely limit our sales opportunities and future revenue.
 
Failure to obtain operating permits, or otherwise to comply with federal and state regulatory and environmental requirements, could affect our abilities to market and sell MagneGas and the Plasma Arc Flow System and could have a material adverse affect on our business and operations.
 
We and our customers may be required to comply with a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations in the areas of safety, health and environmental controls. In as much as we intend to market the Plasma Arc Flow System internationally, we will be required to comply with laws and regulations and, when applicable, obtain permits in those other countries.
 
We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain or maintain, required permits and approvals, that new or more stringent environmental regulations will not be enacted or that if they are, that we will be able to meet the stricter standards.
 
Our technology is unproven on a large-scale industrial basis and could fail to perform in an industrial production environment.
 
The Plasma Arc Flow System has never been utilized on a large-scale industrial basis. All of the tests that we have conducted to date with respect to our technology have been performed on limited quantities of liquid waste, and we cannot assure you that the same or similar results could be obtained on a large-scale industrial basis. We cannot predict all of the difficulties that may arise when the technology is utilized on a large-scale industrial basis. In addition, our technology has never operated at a volume level required to be profitable. As our product is an alternative to acetylene, the unstable price of acetylene will impact our ability to become profitable and to sell cost competitive fuel. It is possible that the technology may require further research, development, design and testing prior to implementation of a larger-scale commercial application. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that this technology will perform successfully on a large-scale commercial basis, that it will be profitable to us or that our MagneGas will be cost competitive in the market.
 
Our future success is dependent, in part, on the performance and continued service of Scott Wainwright, Dr. Ruggero Maria Santilli, and other key personnel. Without their continued service, we may be forced to interrupt our operations.
 
We are presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of Scott Wainwright, our President and Dr. Ruggero Maria Santilli, our Chief Scientist. Scott Wainwright has developed strategic relationships in our industry that are critical to our success and has obtained knowledge of our product that will take substantial time to replace. Dr. Santilli is the inventor of the technology and the Chief Scientist at our company and as such his knowledge of the intellectual property associated with the development and implementation of our technology is critical to our success. The loss of either of their services would delay our business operations substantially.
 
Our related party transactions may cause conflicts of interests that may adversely affect our business.
 
Our intellectual property was purchased through a related party transaction with Hyfuels, Inc, who through the transaction became a stockholder of our company. We currently lease our building through a related party transaction with a company wholly owned by Dr. Santilli and his spouse and director of our company, Carla Santilli. We own a 20% interest in MagneGas Europe, a company whose major stockholder is Ermanno Santilli, our Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Dr. Santilli has personally contributed a small refinery for our use and we have received various small notes and loans from related parties, all of which have been paid in full.
 
We believe that these transactions and agreements that we have entered into with these affiliates are on terms that are at least as favorable as could reasonably have been obtained at such time from third parties. However, these relationships could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest when our board of directors is faced with decisions that could have different implications for us and these affiliates. The appearance of conflicts, even if such conflicts do not materialize, might adversely affect the public’s perception of us, as well as our relationship with other companies and our ability to enter into new relationships in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise capital or to do business.

We have the potential risk of product liability which may subject us to litigation and related costs.
 
Our Plasma Arc Flow System may be utilized in a variety of industrial and other settings, and may be used to handle materials resulting from the user's generation of liquid waste and the creation of a compressed hydrogen based fuel for distribution to end customers. The equipment, cylinders and gas will therefore be subject to risks of breakdowns and malfunctions. There is also inherent risk in the compression, transportation and use of MagneGas. It is possible that claims for personal injury and business losses arising out of these risks, breakdowns and malfunctions will occur. Our insurance may be insufficient to provide coverage against all claims, and claims may be made against us even if covered by our insurance policy for amounts substantially in excess of applicable policy limits. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Because we are smaller and have fewer financial and other resources than many alternative fuel companies, we may not be able to successfully compete in the very competitive alternative fuel industry.
 
Fuel is a commodity. There is significant competition among existing alternative fuel producers. Our business faces competition from a number of producers that can produce significantly greater volumes of fuel than we can or expect to produce, producers that can produce a wider range of fuel products than we can, and producers that have the financial and other resources that would enable them to expand their production rapidly if they chose to. These producers may be able to achieve substantial economies of scale and scope, thereby substantially reducing their fixed production costs and their marginal productions costs. If these producers are able to substantially reduce their marginal production costs, the market price of fuel may decline and we may be not be able to produce biogas at a cost that allows us to compete economically. Even if we are able to operate profitably, these other producers may be substantially more profitable than us, which may make it more difficult for us to raise any financing necessary for us to achieve our business plan and may have a materially adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
 
Costs of compliance with burdensome or changing environmental and operational safety regulations could cause our focus to be diverted away from our business and our results of operations may suffer.
 
Liquid waste disposal and fuel production involves the discharge of potential contaminants into the water and air and is subject to various regulatory and safety requirements. As a result, we are subject to complicated environmental regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and regulations and permitting requirements of the various states. These regulations are subject to change and such changes may require additional capital expenditures or increased operating costs. Consequently, considerable resources may be required to comply with future environmental regulations. In addition, our production plants could be subject to environmental nuisance or related claims by employees, property owners or residents near the plants arising from air or water discharges. Environmental and public nuisance claims, or tort claims based on emissions, or increased environmental compliance costs resulting therefrom could significantly increase our operating costs.
 
As MagneGas is new to the metalworking market, it may take time for the industry to adapt to it. In addition, the economy may adversely impact consumption of fuel in the metalworking market making it more difficult for us to sell our product.
 
MagneGas is a replacement for acetylene for the metalworking market. As this is a new product in the industry, it may take time for end users to consider changing from acetylene to MagneGas and as such this may adversely impact our sales. In addition, consumption for fuel in the metalworking market is highly dependent on the economic conditions of the manufacturing industry and as such adverse conditions in the economy may also negatively impact our ability to sell our fuel to market.
 
Mergers or other strategic transactions involving our competitors could weaken our competitive position, which could harm our operating results.
 
There is significant competition among existing alternative fuel producers.  Some of our competitors may enter into new alliances with each other or may establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with systems integrators, third-party consulting firms or other parties. Any such consolidation, acquisition, alliance or cooperative relationship could lead to pricing pressure and our loss of market share and could result in a competitor with greater financial, technical, marketing, service and other resources, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Because our long-term plan depends, in part, on our ability to expand the sales of our solutions to customers located outside of the United States, our business will be susceptible to risks associated with international operations.
 
We have limited experience operating in foreign jurisdictions. We continue to explore opportunities for joint ventures internationally.  Our inexperience in operating our business outside of North America increases the risk that our current and any future international expansion efforts will not be successful. Conducting international operations subjects us to new risks that, generally, we have not faced in the United States, including:
 
 
•  
fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
 
•  
unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements;
 
•  
longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;
 
•  
difficulties in managing and staffing international operations;
 
•  
potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of foreign value added tax systems and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings;
 
•  
localization of our solutions, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses;
 
•

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
 
The success of our business depends, in part, upon proprietary technologies and information that may be difficult to protect and may be perceived to infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.
 
We believe that the identification, acquisition and development of proprietary technologies are key drivers of our business. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain the secrecy of our proprietary technology and information, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. We cannot assure you that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business, that the patents that provide us with competitive advantages will not be challenged by third parties, that we will develop additional proprietary technology that is patentable or that any patents issued to us will provide us with competitive advantages. Further, we cannot assure you that others will not independently develop similar or superior technologies, duplicate elements of our biomass technology or design around it.
 
In order to successfully commercialize our proprietary technologies, it is possible that we may need to acquire licenses to use, or to contest the validity of, issued or pending patents. We cannot assure you that any license acquired under such patents would be made available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, or that we would prevail in any such contest. In addition, we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us for alleged infringement of another party's patents or in defending the validity or enforceability of our patents, or in bringing patent infringement suits against other parties based on our patents.
 
In addition to the protection afforded by patents, we also rely on trade secrets, proprietary know-how and technology that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our prospective joint venture partners, employees and consultants. We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any such breach, or that our trade secrets and proprietary know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by others.
 
We cannot assure you that we will obtain any patent protection that we seek, that any protection we do obtain will be found valid and enforceable if challenged or that it will confer any significant commercial advantage. U.S. patents and patent applications may also be subject to interference proceedings and U.S. patents may be subject to re-examination proceedings in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and foreign patents may be subject to opposition or comparable proceedings in the corresponding foreign patent offices, which proceedings could result in either loss of the patent or denial of the patent application, or loss or reduction in the scope of one or more of the claims of, the patent or patent application. In addition, such interference, re-examination and opposition proceedings may be costly. Moreover, the U.S. patent laws may change, possibly making it easier to challenge patents. Some of our technology was, and continues to be, developed in conjunction with third parties, and thus there is a risk that such third parties may claim rights in our intellectual property. Thus, any patents that we own or license from others may provide limited or no protection against competitors. Our pending patent applications, those we may file in the future, or those we may license from third parties, may not result in patents being issued. If issued, they may not provide us with proprietary protection or competitive advantages against competitors with similar technology.

Many of our competitors have significant resources and incentives to apply for and obtain intellectual property rights that could limit or prevent our ability to commercialize our current or future products in the United States or abroad.

Many of our potential competitors who have significant resources and have made substantial investments in competing technologies may seek to apply for and obtain patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use or sell our products either in the United States or in international markets. Our current or future U.S. or foreign patents may be challenged, circumvented by competitors or others or may be found to be invalid, unenforceable or insufficient. Since patent applications are confidential until patents are issued in the United States, or in most cases, until after 18 months from filing of the application, or corresponding applications are published in other countries, and since publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that we were the first to make the inventions covered by each of our pending patent applications, or that we were the first to file patent applications for such inventions.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information and know-how, the value of our technology and products could be adversely affected.

In addition to patented technology, we rely on our unpatented proprietary technology, trade secrets, processes and know-how. We generally seek to protect this information by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, scientific advisors and third parties. These agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors. To the extent that our employees, consultants or contractors use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock and this Offering:
 
Our stock has limited liquidity.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market and has limited liquidity, as our common stock has historically been sporadically and thinly traded.
 
The market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
 
The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to the shares of larger, more established companies that trade on a national securities exchange and have large public floats, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than the shares of such larger, more established companies for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are, compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly traded. Even though our stock has been listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, there is no assurance that there would be an increase in the trading volume of our common stock. As a consequence, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating history, lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that trades on a national securities exchange and has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.

Future sales of our common stock in the public market by management or our large stockholders could lower our stock price.
 
Our largest stockholders, together with the other members of our board of directors and our executive officers, collectively beneficially own 59.0% of our outstanding common stock. If our officers, directors and current stockholders sell, or indicate intent to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the trading price of our common stock may decline significantly. Additionally, 9,909,928 shares of our common stock issued to our officers, directors and 10% stockholders that will be outstanding immediately after completion of this offering will become eligible for sale in the public markets from time to time, subject to restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) following the expiration of lock-up agreements entered into for the benefit of the underwriters by the holders of the common stock, including our directors and executive officers.
 
The sale of the shares of common stock covered by our prospectus dated July 5, 2012 could lower our stock price.
 
Our registration statement covering an aggregate of 3,008,939 shares of our common stock was declared effective by the SEC on July 5, 2012, allowing the holders of those shares to sell the shares in the public market. The registration statement registered shares of common stock, warrants, and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants that were sold to investors in our private placement that closed on March 29, 2012 and April 3, 2012. The over-abundance of shares available in the open market could have a negative impact on our stock price. Additionally, potential investors in the current offering may choose to purchase shares of our common stock from those holders at a lower price than the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus.
 
We have a significant number of warrants outstanding, and while these warrants are outstanding, it may be more difficult to raise additional equity capital. Additionally, certain of these warrants contain price-protection provisions that may result in the reduction of their exercise prices if certain transactions occur in the future.
 
As of August 13, 2012, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 3,060,127 shares of common stock. The holders of these warrants are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock. We may find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital while these warrants are outstanding. At any time during which these warrants are likely to be exercised, we may be unable to obtain additional equity capital on more favorable terms from other sources. Furthermore, the majority of these warrants contain price-protection provisions under which, if we were to issue securities in conjunction with a merger, tender offer, sale of assets or reclassification of our common stock at a price lower than the exercise price of such warrants, the exercise price of the warrants would be reduced, with certain exceptions, to the lower price. Additionally, the exercise of these warrants will cause the increase of our outstanding shares of our common stock, which could have the effect of substantially diluting the interests of our current stockholders.
 
The stock purchase agreements under which we sold securities in certain private placements conducted in 2011 and 2012 contain anti-dilution rights applicable to the common stock sold in such private placements.
 
The stock purchase agreements under which we sold securities in certain private placements conducted in 2011 and 2012 contain anti-dilution rights applicable to the common stock sold in such private placements. These anti-dilution rights allow those investors to receive additional shares of our common stock in the event we sell shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than the prices sold in those offerings.  In the event this occurs, our other stockholders will experience immediate dilution, which may be substantial.
 
Our shares of common stock are very thinly traded, and the price may not reflect our value and there can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock now or in the future.
 
Although our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our shares of common stock are very thinly traded, and the price of our common stock, if traded, may not reflect our value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. Market liquidity will depend on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result, holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our shares should they attempt to sell shares held by them. Consequently, our shares should be purchased only by investors having no need for liquidity in their investment and who can hold our shares for an indefinite period of time. 
 
If a more active market should develop, the price of our shares of common stock may be highly volatile. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in our securities. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of such shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.
 
While we have listed our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market in conjunction with this offering, there can be no guarantee that such listing will improve our liquidity.
 
The members of our board of directors, their affiliates and our executive officers, as stockholders, control our company.
 
Our largest stockholders together with the other members of our board of directors and our executive officers, as stockholders, collectively beneficially own 59.0% of our outstanding common stock. As a result of this ownership, they have the ability to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by stockholders of our company, including the election of directors. In particular, Dr. Santilli, Chairman of the board of directors, beneficially owns 38.4% of our outstanding common stock and DDI Industry International, a 10% shareholder of our company, owns 12.4% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Dr. Santilli and DDI Industry International beneficially own an aggregate of 50.8% of our outstanding stock and have the ability to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by stockholders of our company. In addition to ownership of our common stock, Dr. Santilli and his spouse Carla Santilli beneficially own 100% of our outstanding 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which entitles Dr. Santilli and Carla Santilli to voting rights in the aggregate of 100,000,000,000 votes.  This concentration of ownership also may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company that may be favored by other stockholders. This could prevent transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over current market prices.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or publish negative reports about our business, our share price could decline.
 
Securities analysts currently do not cover our common stock and may not do so in the future. Our lack of analyst coverage might depress the price of our common stock and result in limited trading volume. If we do receive analyst coverage in the future, any negative reports published by such analysts could have similar effects.
 
Future issuance of our common stock could dilute the interests of existing stockholders.
 
We may issue additional shares of our common stock in the future. The issuance of a substantial amount of common stock could have the effect of substantially diluting the interests of our current stockholders. In addition, the sale of a substantial amount of common stock in the public market, either in the initial issuance or in a subsequent resale by the target company in an acquisition which received such common stock as consideration or by investors who acquired such common stock in a private placement could have an adverse affect on the market price of our common stock.
 
The application of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “penny stock” rules to our common stock could limit trading activity in the market, and our stockholders may find it more difficult to sell their stock.
 
Our common stock has recently traded at less than $5.00 per share and was not previously listed on a national securities exchange and therefore has been subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) penny stock rules. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
 
We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and you must rely on increases in the market prices of our common stock for returns on your investment.
 
For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.
 
We will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
 
Our management will have broad discretion to use the net proceeds of this offering for a variety of purposes, including, further development of our products and operations, working capital and general corporate purposes. We may spend or invest these proceeds in a way with which our stockholders disagree. Failure by our management to effectively use these funds could harm our business and financial condition. Until the net proceeds are used, they may be placed in investments that do not yield a favorable return to our investors, do not produce significant income or lose value.
 
Even though our shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not meet the continued listing standards and our stockholders could find it difficult to sell our shares.
 
Our common shares are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, we will be required to fulfill specific requirements in order for their shares to continue to be listed. If our shares are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market at some later date, our stockholders could find it difficult to sell our shares.
 
In addition, we have relied on an exemption to the blue sky registration requirements afforded to “covered securities.” Securities listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market are “covered securities.” If we were unable to meet the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing standards, then we would be unable to rely on the covered securities exemption to blue sky registration requirements and we would need to register the offering in each state in which we planned to sell shares. Consequently, we will not complete this offering if we fail to meet the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing requirements.
 
Our certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the company.
 
Our certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), or (iv) any other action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions described above. This forum selection provision may limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees or stockholders.

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law may delay or deter a change of control transaction.
 
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of deterring takeovers, such as those provisions authorizing our board of directors to issue, from time to time, any series of preferred stock and fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of such series of preferred stock; prohibiting stockholders from acting by written consent in lieu of a meeting; requiring advance notice of stockholder intention to put forth director nominees or bring up other business at a stockholders’ meeting; prohibiting stockholders from calling a special meeting of stockholders; requiring a 66 2/3% majority stockholder approval in order for stockholders to amend certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or adopt new bylaws; providing that, subject to the rights of preferred shares, the directors will be divided into three classes and the number of directors is to be fixed exclusively by our board of directors; and providing that none of our directors may be removed without cause. Section 203 of the DGCL, from which we did not elect to opt out, provides that if a holder acquires 15% or more of our stock without prior approval of our board of directors, that holder will be subject to certain restrictions on its ability to acquire us within three years. These provisions may delay or deter a change of control of us, and could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
 
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, principally in the sections entitled “Description of Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding future events, our future financial performance, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we do not make forward looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” or elsewhere in this prospectus, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include:
 
·  
our limited operating history;
·  
our limited financial resources and our ability to obtain additional financing;
·  
the development and successful commercial acceptance of our products;
·  
the cost of compliance with government regulations;
·  
that our technology is unproven on a large-scale industrial basis;
·  
our dependence on our management team, including Dr. Ruggero Maria Santilli;
·  
risks of product liability;
·  
our competition, including from significantly larger alternative fuel companies;
·  
a slow pace of industry adoption of MagneGas; and
·  
protection of our intellectual property.
 
 Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we address the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
 
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, each of which applies only as of the date of this prospectus. Before you invest in our shares, you should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform our statements to actual results or changed expectations.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
The net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $5,831,937. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares being offered by selling stockholders in this prospectus.
 
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to further develop our products and operations, for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
 
DILUTION
 
A purchaser of our common stock in this offering will experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share of our common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering.
 
Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2012 was approximately $6,151,263, or approximately $0.347 per share. Net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less total tangible liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2012.
 
Net tangible book value dilution per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share of common stock paid by purchasers in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after this offering. After giving effect to our sale of 2,197,827 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $3.00 per share and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, our adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2012 would have been $11,984,744, or $0.602 per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.255 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $2.398 per share to new investors in this offering, as illustrated in the following table:

The foregoing illustration does not reflect potential dilution from the exercise of outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.  If the underwriters exercise in full their over-allotment option to purchase 427,500 shares of common stock, our adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2012 would have been $14,469,969, or $0.711 per share, representing an increase in net tangible book value of $0.364 per share to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering.
 
The above discussion and table are based on 17,724,689 shares outstanding as of August 13, 2012, and excludes:

·
1,977,438 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding as of August 13, 2012 at an exercise price of $3.00;

·
15,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding as of August 13, 2012 at an exercise price of $2.50;

·
1,067,689 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding as of August 13, 2012 at an exercise price of $4.00; and

·
2,910,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding as of August 13, 2012 at an exercise price of $1.50.

On August 15, 2012, the last sale price of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $3.25 per share. On June 26, 2012, we effected a 10-for-1 reverse stock split of our common stock.
 
As of August 13, 2012, there were approximately 264 stockholders of record. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositaries, brokers and other nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of stockholders of record.
 
DIVIDEND POLICY
 
We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future. We are not subject to any legal restrictions respecting the payment of dividends, except that we may not pay dividends if the payment would render us insolvent. Any future determination as to the payment of cash dividends on our common stock will be at our board of directors’ discretion and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and other factors that our board of directors considers to be relevant.
 
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
 
Our common stock currently trades in very limited quantities on the Nasdaq Capital Market.  However, our underwriters are not obligated to make a market in our shares, and even if they choose to make a market, they can discontinue at any time without notice.  Neither we nor the underwriters can provide any assurance that an active and liquid trading market in our shares will develop further or, if developed further, that the market will continue.
 
The public offering price of the shares offered by this prospectus was determined by negotiation between us and the underwriters. The following factors were considered in determining the public offering price of the shares:
 
·  
our history and our prospects;
·  
the industry in which we operate;
·  
our past and present operating results;
·  
recent trading prices of our common stock on the OTCBB and the Nasdaq Capital Market;
·  
the resale of up to 3,008,939 shares of our common stock pursuant to a registration statement that was declared effective by the SEC on July 5, 2012;
·  
the previous experience of our executive officers; and

PENNY STOCK CONSIDERATIONS
  
Our common stock has recently traded at less than $5.00 per share and was not listed on a national securities exchange and therefore has been subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
 
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Our Company
 
We are an alternative energy company that creates and produces hydrogen-based alternative fuel through the gasification of liquid waste. We have developed a process which transforms various types of liquid waste through a proprietary plasma arc machine. The result of the product is to carbonize the waste for normal disposal. A byproduct of this process is to produce an alternative to natural gas currently sold in the metalworking market. We produce gas bottled in cylinders for the purpose of distribution to the metalworking market as an alternative to acetylene. Additionally, we market, for sale or licensure, our proprietary plasma arc technology. Through the course of our business development, we have established a retail and wholesale platform to sell our fuel for use in the metalworking and manufacturing industries. In 2010, we recognized our initial sale of a Plasma Arc Flow unit and are continuing efforts to sell or lease additional equipment to end users.
 
History
 
MagneGas Corporation was organized in the state of Delaware on December 9, 2005. We were originally organized under the name 4307, Inc, for the purpose of locating and negotiating with a business entity for a combination. On April 2, 2007 all the issued and outstanding shares of 4307, Inc. were purchased by Clean Energies Tech Co., a private company owned by Dr. Santilli. Following this stock purchase, our name was changed to MagneGas Corporation.
 
Recent Developments
 
We recently began supplying General Motors (“GM) with MagneGas.  GM is trialing the fuel in maintenance and metal-working activities at its Grand Blanc Weld & Tool Center in Flint, Michigan, including assessing its environmental, health and safety impacts. We will ship their fuel cylinders from our production facility in Michigan.

On July 16, 2012, we entered into a binding initial contract with Clear Sky Energy S.A. de C.V. (“CSE”) by which CSE will purchase a refinery from us for an aggregate purchase price of $2.7 million plus 5% royalties, calculated based upon our gross revenue. We will provide CSE with a draft of the definitive agreement no later than August 31, 2012, which we expect will be executed no later than November 1, 2012. We have received an initial deposit of $100,000. Upon execution of the definitive agreement and the payment of an initial installment of $865,000, we will have 120 days to build the refinery, or the purchase price will be reduced by $5,000 per week, up to a maximum reduction of $150,000. Upon the installation of the refinery, we will grant CSE a non-exclusive right to distribute MagneGas throughout Latin America and upon the purchase of two refineries, CSE will automatically obtain exclusive rights to distribute MagneGas in Mexico. 
 
Our Industry
 
We focus our efforts on producing and selling fuel and equipment for the metalworking fuel market. This market is currently dominated by acetylene. Acetylene is a gas that is considered toxic, emits soot when it burns and can be very volatile. In recent months, several acetylene production plants have exploded, causing a shortage of acetylene and raising prices. MagneGas on the other hand, emits oxygen when it burns and independent users have rated MagneGas as a cleaner alternative to acetylene.
 
According to a recent report on the global market for metalworking gasses by the Freedonia Group, “demand for industrial gases in metal welding and fabrication markets is projected to increase 8.6% per year to $5.6 billion in 2014. Gains will be driven primarily by expanding industrial production and construction activity. As a result, the greatest opportunities for growth will emerge in China, India and other developing economies, where industrialization is proceeding most rapidly and where further infrastructural development is key to sustained economic growth. Western Europe, North America and Japan will remain the largest consumers of industrial gases for welding and fabrication markets, although growth opportunities will not equal those of developing economies.”
 
Our Competitive Strengths
 
Patented, sustainable, disruptive technology and fuel source – Our patented Plasma Arc Flow System recycles liquid waste through a patented process, producing a hydrogen-based fuel called MagneGas, which the we believe can become, among other things, a replacement for acetylene.
 
World class technology team We are led by the Chairman of our board of directors and Chief Scientist Dr. Santilli, who has been nominated for Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry. He is a former professor at both Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has received numerous Department of Energy research grants for the development of chemically unique clean fuel.  
  
Immediate commercial applications – Our MagneGas and Plasma Flow Arc technology are now both selling in the United States and globally. We expect our disruptive technology to displace current fuel gases such as acetylene.
 
Multiple revenue channels – We earn revenue from both clean fuel sales (domestic) and big-ticket sales of equipment (international).
 
Rapid growth potential – We expect to grow revenue through rapid growth in production and sales of MagneGas in the acetylene and natural gas markets, as well as through our international licensing agreement in China.
 
Our Growth Strategies
 
Our current focus is to continue the penetration achieved to date by MagneGas, primarily as an alternative for acetylene, into the global market for metalworking and fabrication gasses, a market which is projected to grow more than 8% annually to $5.6 billion by 2014. 
 
Our top priority is to grow sales of MagneGas primarily through an expanding network of established industrial gas distributors and strategic customers. We have distributors in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida. We also have a retail operation in Florida selling fuel directly to end users. We have obtained approval from the Department of Transportation to deliver fuel in Florida and currently have several customers purchasing fuel directly.
 
Even at current, early stage, modest production rates, we believe we can sell MagneGas for 20% to 30% less than acetylene. We project that this economic advantage over acetylene will become greater as production scales up to meet the demand that is already in the pipeline.
 
And while MagneGas costs are expected to decrease with scaling, some welding industry participants project that the cost of acetylene will rise due to the increasing costs of the calcium carbide from which acetylene is derived. Furthermore, increasingly stringent health and safety regulations will further constrain the production and use of acetylene. In short, we believe the negative economic and regulatory forces acting on acetylene contribute to the beneficial conditions and timing for the adoption of MagneGas as a substitute product.
 
We plan to expand through the use of direct marketing, exhibiting at trade events and networking opportunities. We plan to expand retail operations in Florida by leveraging existing customers for industry introductions. In the remainder of the United States, we plan to install filling stations in various geographically favorable locations and sell fuel to existing welding fuel distributors for quicker market penetration. In countries outside of the United States, we plan to conduct web-based marketing campaigns and attend industry events to attract potential equipment buyers. Those buyers are expected to purchase or lease equipment from us to produce fuel and sell that fuel to market while paying a royalty to us.

Our Products
 
We currently have two products: MagneGas and Plasma Arc Flow System.
 
Fuel
 
We currently produce MagneGas for the metalworking market from a feedstock of virgin ethylene glycol (automotive anti-freeze), which is purchased in bulk from outside suppliers. This is a temporary measure while we secure the permits required to process and handle post-consumer waste feedstock such as ethylene glycol, and eventually municipal streams such as sewage and sludge.
 
The fuel is hydrogen -based and can be used to replace natural gas. It is currently sold as a replacement for acetylene in the metalworking market.
 
The fuel is comprised of approximately 65% hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other trace gases. It is stored in hydrogen cylinders which are then sold to market. We believe we can sell the cylinders at a 20% to 30% lower price than acetylene.
 
Equipment
 
The Plasma Arc Flow System can gasify many forms of liquid waste such as ethylene glycol, sewage and sludge.
 
Plasma Arc Flow refineries have been configured in various sizes ranging from 50kw to 500kw depending on the application. Plasma Arc Flow refineries range in price from $1 million to $3 million. A 200kw refinery was sold in 2010 to a customer in China for $1.855 million.
 
The patented Plasma Arc Flow System is based on the flow of a carbon-rich, liquid feedstock through an electric arc between two electrodes submerged in the feedstock. The arc decomposes the liquid molecules into atoms and forms an ultra-high temperature plasma around the tips of the electrodes which sterilizes any waste matter. The Plasma Arc Flow System also controls the formation of MagneGas, a hydrogen-rich fuel, which bubbles to the surface of the refining vessel for easy collection and subsequent compression. In this way, liquid waste streams or oils are converted into MagneGas with minimal by-products such as sterilized water (if using sewage as feedstock) and only a small amount of carbonaceous precipitates or other inert solids which are strained out for periodic removal and disposal.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
We currently employ one employee focused on developing strategic relationships, one employee focused on marketing, one employee focused on business development and one employee focused on sales. Through the use of industry events, networking opportunities, web based marketing and direct sales, we are launching the market for metalworking fuel sales. The sales strategy is through hands on demonstration of the benefits of the fuel versus acetylene at customer locations. Our personnel bring the fuel onsite to the customer and demonstrate its use in real time as a cutting fuel. We also developed marketing material, videos and feature articles regarding MagneGas product and its uses in the metalworking industry. We distribute this material via direct mail and through the use of press releases.
 
On July 16, 2012, we entered into a binding initial contract with Clear Sky Energy S.A. de C.V. (“CSE”) by which CSE will purchase a refinery from us. Upon the installation of the refinery, we will grant CSE a non-exclusive right to distribute MagneGas throughout Latin America and upon the purchase of two refineries, CSE will automatically obtain exclusive rights to distribute MagneGas in Mexico. 
 
Research and Development
 
We are currently pursuing several near-term R&D objectives, including:
 
Liquifaction of MagneGas – MagneGas is currently a gaseous fuel stored in hydrogen cylinders. We are planning research and development surrounding the liquefaction of the fuel. As a liquid, we believe the fuel will have many additional uses. We believe the gas can be liquefied by locating the proper catalyst. Some research has been completed in this area, however the proper catalyst has not been located at this time and we plan to test various catalysts for this purpose.
 
Separation of Hydrogen from MagneGas – MagneGas contains 65% hydrogen. The hydrogen can be separated via the use of a pressure swing vacuum station or pressure swing adsorption station. We have completed initial testing of hydrogen separation using our in house laboratory. However, further research and development is needed to purify the hydrogen and find industrial equipment that can produce large volumes of hydrogen fuel.
 
Increased productivity – We are exploring methods to increase fuel production via the use of different power units. The goal is to increase the voltage delivered to the arc, thereby increasing fuel production and productivity. We have purchased a new Amatek power unit and are currently developing new electronic controls for use with this unit.
 
In 2011, we spent $84,304 on our R&D activities, while in 2010, we spent $65,574 on our R&D activities.

Manufacturing
 
Equipment
 
The proprietary components of the MagneGas system are manufactured on location in our headquarters in Tarpon Springs, Florida and commercially available components such as generators and compressors are purchased from existing suppliers. The equipment is assembled and tested in Tarpon Springs and installed on location by our personnel.
 
Fuel
 
We have two facilities producing MagneGas, which is currently sold to market, our headquarters in Tarpon Springs and our new satellite location in Detroit, Michigan. Currently, MagneGas is produced and bottled into standard industrial gas cylinders in those facilities and then trucked to regional distributors or delivered directly to local retail customers. We have developed a plan to significantly expand and diversify MagneGas production and simplify distribution logistics by installing Plasma Arc Flow refineries at key locations around the country to be closer to regional distributors. We also plan to install refineries onsite at large end users such as demolition projects and steel recycling centers. We expect planned scale-up of production and reduction in shipping distances will further enhance the cost advantage MagneGas already has over acetylene. MagneGas cylinders and valves are slightly different from those used for acetylene primarily owing to the high hydrogen content of MagneGas. We intend to bring thousands of additional cylinders into rotation shortly.
 
Current MagneGas production is temporarily from a feedstock of virgin ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) as we secure the permits required to process and handle post-consumer waste streams such as anti-freeze. Our capital expansion plan includes provisions to secure the feedstock supplies, relationships and logistical abilities to process post-consumer waste oils such as used motor oils and/or anti-freeze. We estimate that the cost of using post-consumer waste steam feedstock, including related costs such as permitting and waste disposal, will be least 50% lower than using virgin feedstock furthering the advantage of using MagneGas instead of acetylene.
 
Customers
 
Some of our major customers and distributors are listed below:
 
Blue Water Industrial Products – Blue Water Industrial Products, based in New Baltimore, Michigan near Detroit is a leading supplier of metalworking and welding gases in the upper mid-west.
 
J&M Cylinder Gases – J&M is one of the largest independent manufacturers of acetylene in the southeastern United States and has an established sales platform serving eight distributors with 22 retail outlets, as well as three retail stores of its own, across Alabama and Tennessee. As with Blue Water, J&M's goal is to eventually make MagneGas a leading component of its fuel product offering. J&M is a distributor for MagneGas for the state of Alabama and the 250-mile radius around its Decatur, Alabama facility.
 
York Welding Supply – York Welding Supply is a metal fabrication gas distributor located in York, Pennsylvania. They sell several products related to the welding and welding fuel industry and have been actively distributing MagneGas for metalworking.
 
in Florida:
 
Garden Street Iron & Metal – Garden Street is a scrap metal processor and recycler with six facilities in Ohio and Florida.
 
CTL Transportation – CTL is a Florida-based trucking company that hauls chemicals nationwide from eleven terminals in six states. CTL is using MagneGas at its Mulberry, Florida terminal in the repair and maintenance of the location's 150 trucks. We believe it will have the opportunity to expand and extend MagneGas use to all eleven CTL locations.
 
Strategic Relationships
 
We recently entered into commercial testing and discussions with a select group of leading United States strategic industrial companies and military contractors which, after conducting preliminary reviews of MagneGas, are now seeking further testing. This includes a major United States automotive company that is considering eliminating acetylene in favor of MagneGas™ for its manufacturing.
 
 
16

 
In late May 2011, we announced that Edison Welding Supply, a testing contractor for the U.S. Navy is testing MagneGas as an environmentally-friendly alternative for major metal cutting projects, particularly to reduce emissions during the breakup and recycling of retiring vessels. We have received verbal confirmation that we will move to the next stage of hands on testing. However, this second level of testing has not yet been initiated and we have not received an estimated date for the next steps.
 
Competition
 
The main competition for the metalworking market is acetylene fuel. It is distributed through large multinational companies such as Airgas, and also through small regional independent distributors. The primary use of this fuel is for metal cutting and fabrication. It is produced from calcium carbide and is considered toxic and volatile.
 
MagneGas™ vs. Acetylene
 
The heat energy in MagneGas flame is concentrated in the primary cones and the secondary flame producing outstanding results with a thermal density in the flame. This improved energy density permits smaller, faster and cleaner cuts. Independent tests have established that MagneGas is fast, precise and an efficient cutting fuel.  The Welding Journal reported that MagneGas does have advantages as a welding fuel including high quality, clean cuts with less slag and smaller heat-affected zones.
 
For more than 100 years acetylene (C2H2) has been the world's leading welding and metalworking fuel primarily due to its high flame temperature. But acetylene has many drawbacks:
 
it is toxic, emitting heavy carbon soot and noxious fumes when burned;
it produces a wide, sloppy cut with a great deal of slag and top edge roll-over; and
it is a very unstable and volatile gas and can spontaneously detonate.

MagneGas can be a replacement to acetylene and independent users have confirmed that it has a similar cutting speed, no slag and no soot. While we believe that MagneGas provides advantages over acetylene, this type of fuel is a new technology that must gain acceptance by our potential customers.  Because of the long history of acetylene as the world’s primary welding and metalworking fuel, we face competition from existing producers and distributors, such as Airgas, and regional distributors that may have more resources, name recognition, and a larger customer base.
 
Regulation
 
We are subject to several state, federal and local laws and oversight by several agencies, including the Department of Transportation, Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act in addition to local city and state zoning, fire and other regulations. Costs of complying with the various regulation and oversight are minimal.
 
We have obtained a hazardous material transportation permit from the Department of Transportation to allow the transport of MagneGas throughout the state of Florida. We use licensed hazardous waste transporters to deliver fuel to the rest of the country.
 
We currently use virgin ethylene glycol to produce fuel and thereby are not subject to the DEP permit required to process liquid waste. However, we are currently exploring the application process to obtain a hazardous and non hazardous liquid waste processing permit.
 
Internationally, we recently obtained a compliance certification that confirms that the manufacturing and operation of our equipment is in conformance with the mechanical and electrical safety requirements of the European Community laws.
 
 
17

 
We and our customers may be required to comply with a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations in the areas of safety, health and environmental controls. In as much as we intend to market the Plasma Arc Flow System internationally, we will be required to comply with laws and regulations and, when applicable, obtain permits in those other countries.
 
We cannot be certain that required permits and approvals will be obtained; that new environmental regulations will not be enacted or that if they are our customers and we can meet stricter standards of operation or obtain additional operating permits or approvals.
 
Facilities
 
We presently lease 5,000 square feet for our principal offices at 150 Rainville Rd, Tarpon Springs, FL 34689 on a month-to-month basis. The property is a commercial property for our production facility with an attached office. In addition, we have leased a one acre parcel of gated land for storage located adjacent to our facility and a 6,000 square foot gas manufacturing facility in Detroit, Michigan. Additionally, we are under contract to purchase an additional manufacturing facility in Tarpon Springs, FL, in order to expand our operations and increase our ability to manufacture refineries. We expect to close on the property no later than July 31, 2012.
 
Intellectual Property
 
The Plasma Arc Flow refinery forces a high volume flow of liquid waste through an electric arc between carbon electrodes. The benefit of this from a competitive perspective is that it sterilizes the bio-contaminants within the waste without the need to add any chemical disinfecting agents. In addition, while sterilizing the liquid, a clean burning fuel is produced.
 
MagneGas Corporation has patent ownership on the technology in the United States and is exploring filing patents under the Patent Cooperation Treaty in other areas of the world as needed with the exclusion of India, Africa, Europe and China. MagneGas Corporation has a 20% ownership interest in MagneGas entities that control the intellectual property in Europe, Africa and China. MagneGas Corporation owns the following U.S. patents:

Overview
 
Our operating plan and mission is to create a hydrogen-based fuel through the gasification of liquid waste. A process has been developed which transforms various types of liquid waste through a proprietary plasma arc machine. The result of the product is to carbonize the waste for normal disposal. A byproduct of this process is to produce an alternative to natural gas currently sold in the metalworking market. The patented proprietary technology is owned by our company. We are putting the majority of our efforts in launching fuel sales to the metalworking market as we feel this is the best opportunity to generate revenue in the near term.
 
The majority of our revenue in 2010 was the result of a one-time sale of a refinery to our partner in China for the Municipal Wastewater market. However, since that time, we determined that better opportunities exist in the metalworking market to generate revenue in the immediate term. As a result, we have shifted our focus from selling refineries for sewage treatment to generating recurring revenue in metalworking fuel sales. This has resulted in a drop in revenue from 2010 to 2011 as we ramp up sales in this new market.
 
Offering with DDI Industry International (Beijing) Co., Ltd
 
On June 1, 2011, the company executed agreements for two private offerings of its common stock with DDI Industry International (Beijing) Co., Ltd (“DDI”).  In the first offering we issued an aggregate of 384,624 shares of our common stock to DDI for a purchase price of $500,000, at $1.30 per share.  In the second offering, we issued an aggregate of 333,333 shares to DDI for a purchase price of $561,248, at $1.68 per share.  The company intends to use the proceeds received from DDI in the offerings for an investment in the metal working market, cylinders and related matters.
 
Prior to these offerings, we had a material relationship with DDI.  In June 2010, we entered into an agreement with the Investor to form a Chinese joint venture (“MagneGas China”).  Pursuant to the agreement, DDI acquired exclusive MagneGas technology and manufacturing rights for the Greater China Market.  DDI also acquired 1,481,481 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $2 million and purchased a 300kw Plasma Arc Refinery at a purchase price of $1.855 million.  We own 20% of the equity in MagneGas China and our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ruggero Santilli, is a member of the MagneGas China board of directors.
 
2011 Private Placement
 
On October 28, 2011 and November 8, 2011, we entered into definitive agreements with investors to sell in a private placement an aggregate of 1,966,250 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 1,966,250 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.60 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds to us of $3,146,000, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $3.00 per share and expire five years from the initial closing date, which was October 28, 2011.
  
Proceeds from the private placement have been used primarily to launch in full to the national metalworking market by installing refinery filling stations in Detroit, wholly owned and operated by our company, and to significantly expand our fuel cylinder inventory to fill more and larger orders.
 
2012 Private Placement
 
On March 28, 2012, we entered into a definitive agreement with investors to sell in a private placement an aggregate of 1,941,250 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 970,625 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds to us of $3,882,500, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $4.00 per share and expire five years from the initial closing date, which was March 29, 2012.
Metalworking Market
 
We are seeking to expand sales in the metalworking market through the use of established industry wholesalers, trade events and media coverage in trade journals. Our strategy is to sell MagneGas for metal cutting to retail, wholesale and large strategic companies. We are actively working with several independent sales representatives and distributors to support these efforts. The company has completed the installation of its refinery in Michigan and initiated operations in that location as we execute our strategy.  We have secured several large customers and are in the process of appointing additional distributors. In addition, as part of our execution strategy, we are actively seeking additional locations, sales support and manufacturing personnel in order to place our next refinery installations.
 
 
19

 
We have finished a one year analysis by a large automobile manufacturing company in Detroit and have received formal approval for use of the gas as a replacement to acetylene on a trial basis.  We are in the process of introducing the fuel at various locations in Michigan to further this relationship. In addition, we are in various stages of negotiation with other national companies and military contractors seeking to use MagneGas in their facilities. These large strategic relationships have an inherently long sales cycle with uncertain outcome and as such we are complimenting these efforts with an aggressive direct local retail and wholesale distribution strategy in Michigan and Florida.
 
Hydrogen Market
 
We believe that hydrogen can be effectively separated from MagneGas for industrial use.  We believe that the hydrogen created from MagneGas can be produced in large quantities and sold for commercial, industrial and military use.  We are exploring the infrastructure necessary to enter this market profitability and expect to begin sales in early 2013.
 
Municipal Market
 
Although the majority of our focus has shifted to establishing sales in the metalworking market, our long-term plan is to still expand commercially into the municipal wastewater market.  In order to pursue this market, a municipal plant scale demonstration center converting sludge or sewage to fuel and other byproducts is needed. We do not anticipate this will occur until 2013 or later as we are focusing our efforts on generating revenue in the metalworking market and converting existing equipment to produce gas for that market. Although we still plan to pursue the municipal wastewater market in the long term, we are relying on our partners in China and Europe to conduct the extensive testing needed to provide the empirical data to launch this market properly.
 
International Expansion
 
We are seeking to expand globally through the sale of equipment and the establishment of distribution and joint venture arrangements. We are currently in various stages of negotiation with representatives from various countries.
 
Business Continuation and Succession
 
We have developed and trained a team of engineers and consultants to become knowledgeable with MagneGas product and the Plasma Arc Flow System.  In addition, Ermanno Santilli, son of Dr. Santilli has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer effective June 15, 2012.
 
Results of Operations
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
 
Revenues
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we generated revenues of $188,973, $45,862, $320,956 and $144,850, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 we generated revenues from our metal cutting fuel of $165,640, $22,529, $274,290, and $48,184, respectively. We have recognized an increase in revenue through our sales efforts and increased our demand for future orders for our metal cutting fuel due to industry acceptance and sales focus. We anticipate sustained and increasing revenue growth as our operations develop in fulfilling our increasing backlog of orders.  Orders have increased due to our expanded locations and our products performance in initial sales testing with distributors and potential volume customers.  Sales and delivery has been slowed during the first quarter due to our attention to efforts in establishing our facilities in Michigan and Florida, which has been our focus, as we believe our return on investment will be immediately recognized in the near term.  We believe that there is a significant market share which we should attract due to our abilities to set up locations where there is immediate demand. We are experiencing increased interest from new and existing customers. We believe that our metal cutting fuel orders will increase significantly as the economy and the building market recovers.
 
During the second half of 2010, we received contracts for our technology licensing. We have recognized $23,333, $23,333, $46,666 and $96,666 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These license fees are ratably earned over the terms of the licensing agreement.
 
 
20

 
Of our four available units, we have delivered two units for production and distribution at key locations for our metal fuel resellers.  Based on our volume projections, we anticipate that there will be cost recovery within a 3 – 4 year period.

Operating costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $2,238,087, $824,687, $2,997,335 and $1,247,863, respectively. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 we recognized non-cash charge of $1,021,525 and $1,027,523 in stock based compensation, compared to $259,400 and $360,640 in the comparable three and six month period ended June 30, 2011.  Operating expenditure increase was primarily attributable to increases in: (a) technical sales support for production; (b) establishing two locations, as we increase our ability to serve our major customers; (c) stock-based compensation; (d) depreciation and amortization and (e) research and development efforts, due to environmental testing and efficiency design.  During the course of the last year we have executed our operating plan which included the hiring of personnel, primarily technical persons, thereby certain expenses are not comparable to prior year expenses, specifically expenses for technical professionals.
 
In the current quarter, as in prior quarters, we used common stock as a method of payment for certain services, primarily the advertising and promotion of the technology to increase investor awareness and as incentive to its key employees and consultants.   We expect to continue these arrangements, though due to a stronger operating position this method of payment may become limited to employees.
 
Net Loss
 
Our operating results have recognized a losses in the, amount of $2,166,253, $499,054, $2,860,615 and $714,467 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The increase in loss was attributable to stock based compensation and for a general increases incurred for our general internal support for our increasing metal cutting segment.
 
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
 
Revenues
 
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 we generated revenues of $381,892 and $2,036,238, respectively.  We generated revenues of $138,560 and $34,572 from our metal cutting fuel sales operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase was due to the continued expansion of customer relationships. We have fulfilled initial orders and are receiving repeat orders from multiple customers. To attract and attain new customers we have performed demonstrations and sent samples to prospective accounts. Our facility has been set up to fulfill future anticipated orders.
 
The majority of our revenue in 2010 was the result of a one-time sale of a refinery to our partner in China for the municipal wastewater market, for a net sales price of $1,855,000. However, since that time, we determined better opportunities exist in the metalworking market to generate revenue in the immediate term. As a result, we shifted our focus from selling refineries to generating recurring revenue in metalworking fuel sales. This has resulted in a drop in revenue from $1,855,000 in 2010 to $0 in 2011 as we ramp up sales in this new market.
 
During the second half of 2010 we received a contract for our technology licensing. We have recognized in the amount of $243,332 and $146,666 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These license fees are ratably earned over the terms of the licensing agreement.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized $0 and $1,855,000, respectively, from our contract for the sale of our Plasma Arc Flow production unit. Our only contract to date was completed in the third quarter of 2010. We have completed the manufacturing of four units for sale or fuel production, currently in our inventory and fixed assets. Three units have been reclassified as fixed assets, as they have been deployed to locations for the purposes of producing metal cutting fuel, as described earlier as a shift in our marketing efforts towards production.
 
During the last quarter of 2011 we reached agreements with key distributors to place our units at locations as production refineries.  
 
Operating Expenses
 
Operating costs were incurred in the amount of $3,275,665 and $1,264,745 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The operating expenses increased significantly as our operations expanded.  During 2011 we completed the manufacturing of four units, resulting in increases in our wage compensation of approximately $600,000, included in office and administration, as compared to the prior year.   Professional expenses increased over $500,000 in 2011 due to costs associated with closings on our funding, as well as legal fees for several contractual agreements.  Selling costs increased approximately $100,000 in 2011 as compared to 2010, resulting from our increased efforts to expand our metal cutting business as well as our unit sale efforts. There was a significant increase in the issuance of common stock for services valued in the amount of $787,990 in 2011 compared to $262,251 in 2010.  Public and investor relations costs increased approximately $30,000 for the increase in regulatory compliance and the promotion of the public awareness.

We use common stock as a method of payment for certain services, primarily the advertising and promotion of the technology to increase awareness and as incentive to our key employees and consultants. We expect to continue these arrangements, though due to a stronger operating position this method of payment may become limited to specific vendors.
 
Net Income and Loss before Provision for Income Taxes
 
We had a net loss, before taxes, in the amount of $2,937,062 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to a net income before income taxes of $40,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease in the year over year results was primarily due from the sale of a recycling unit that was recognized in 2010, which created positive earnings in that year.  Margin on the 2010 sale of the unit resulted in a profit.  Our general and administrative expenses and stock based compensation, as described above in the operating expense discussion, increased, resulting in the 2011 loss.   Investments through sales of common stock ($2 million investment by DDI, a China company in 2010 and $1 million in 2011) and private placements in excess of $3 million have allowed our expansion of infrastructure and the manufacturing of additional units available for sale and available for production.  We believe that our investment in our infrastructure will have future benefits, as potential sales will be fulfilled and expanded metal cutting fuel fulfillments will generate consistent revenue streams.
 
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
 
Revenues
 
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 we generated revenues of $2,036,238 and $18,564 respectively. Our first unit sale in 2010 was for a net sales price of $1,855,000, compared to $0 for 2009. License fees were recognized in the amount of $146,666 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We generated revenues of $34,572 and $18,564 from our metal cutting fuel sales operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase was due to the continued expansion of customer relationships. We secured new channels for the distribution of our metal cutting fuel. We fulfilled initial orders and received repeat orders from multiple customers. To attract and attain new customers we performed demonstrations and sent samples to prospective accounts. Our facility was set up to fulfill future anticipated orders.
 
We entered into a six month agreement with a potential licenser for the Mexico territory and received a non-refundable payment of $150,000. The payment was for six month consideration period.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Operating costs were incurred in the amount of $1,264,745 and $1,260,073 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The operating expenses remained relatively stable; however, there was a decrease in the issuance of common stock for services valued in the amount of $262,251 in 2010 compared to $822,714 in 2009. This decrease was offset by increases in general administrative expenses. Specifically, due to public filing requirements, there was an increase in investor relations of approximately $20,000 for the promotion of the public awareness. Professional expenses, which included legal, accounting and consulting increased approximately $34,000 to $115,287 in 2010 from $81,265 in 2009, primarily due to increased costs of legal and technical matters involving the engineering of the Plasma Arc Flow unit sold. Selling and advertising increased approximately $250,000 to $319,681 in 2010 from $69,619 in 2009, for efforts in product promotion and trade shows. Office administration increased approximately $219,000 to $293,258 in 2010 from $74,277 in 2009; increase was due to an increase in infrastructure for the support of our unit sale, as well as projected increases in our metal cutting fuel.
 
Net Income and Loss before Provision for Income Taxes
 
Our net income, before taxes, was $40,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to a net loss of $1,256,683 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in the year over year results was primarily due from the sale of a recycling unit. Our margin on the sale of the unit resulted in a profit, although our general and administrative expenses, as described above in the operating expense discussion, increased as this revenue and the subsequent investments through sales of common stock ($2 million investment by DDI) allowed our expansion of infrastructure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
In the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 we received investments of $3,767,195 (net of offering costs of $377,680) and $500,000, respectively.   We believe we can currently satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our current cash and expected revenues.  Management plans to increase revenue to sustain future operational growth.
 
In March 2012, we received an investment of $3,542,500.  Additionally, on April 3, 2012 we completed a private placement of its common stock, receiving an additional $340,000, inclusive of offering costs.  An aggregate of 1,941,250 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 970,625 shares of our common stock were issued at a purchase price of $2.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds to us of $3,882,500.  
 
In both June 2011 and August 2011, we received investments of $500,000. Additionally, on October 28, 2011 and November 8, 2011, we entered into definitive agreements with investors to sell in a private placement an aggregate of 1,966,250 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 1,966,250 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.60 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds to us of $3,146,000. We believe we can currently satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our current cash and expected revenues. Management plans to increase revenue to sustain future operational growth.
 
Completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate and continued revenue. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated.  In the absence of our projected revenues, we believe that we will be able to proceed with limited plan of operation.  Even without significant revenues within the next twelve months, based on our current cash position, we anticipate being able to continue with our present activities.  Although we believe we currently are adequately financed for limited growth, we plan to complete a second round of funding through a fully registered offering in the next six months to allow the complete fulfillment of our long term strategic plan.
 
As reflected in the unaudited financial statements we have an accumulated a deficit of approximately $8.0 million dollars.  Our cash flow from operations used $1,705,168 of cash, primarily used in the manufacturing and completion of our refineries for future use and the installation of two units at locations.  Our investing activities used $1,248,502 of cash for the acquisition of equipment, primarily cylinders to supply our locations.  Our financing activities resulted in cash provided in the amount of $3,546,971 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to the sale of our common shares for net proceeds of $3,767,195, net of $377,680 of offering costs. 
 
At June 30, 2012, we had $2,022,713 in cash to meet current obligations.  
 
Management believes that current revenue generated and recent proceeds from the sale of our common stock provides the opportunity for the company to continue as a going concern and fund the-long term strategic plan through at least the end of 2013.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Management Consideration of Alternative Business Strategies
 
In order to continue to protect and increase stockholder value management believes that it may, from time to time, consider alternative management strategies to create value for the company or additional revenues.  Strategies to be reviewed may include acquisitions; roll-ups; strategic alliances; joint ventures on large projects; and/or mergers.
 
Management will only consider these options where it believes the result would be to increase stockholder value while continuing the viability of the company.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The company’s significant accounting policies are presented in the company’s notes to financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2011 which are contained in this prospectus. The significant accounting policies that are most critical and aid in fully understanding and evaluating the reported financial results include the following:
 
The company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These principals require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the board of directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The company issues restricted stock to consultants for various services.  Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is measurable more reliably measurable.  The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.
 
 
23

 
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset.  The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required.  If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
We have reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We have carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.  The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.  Those standards have been addressed in the notes to the audited financial statement and included this prospectus.

Director Independence
 
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Nasdaq Listing Rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
 
·  
the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;
·  
the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);
·  
the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.
 
As of August 14, 2012, our board of directors is composed of seven members, of which three directors are independent directors. The three independent directors are Christopher Huntington, Jacques Kerrest and Kevin Pollack. In addition, as indicated below, each of our audit committee and compensation committee, described below in “Committees of the Board of Directors,” is composed entirely of independent directors, including the chairperson of the audit committee. Our corporate governance and nominating committee is made up of two independent directors and one employee director, Luisa Ingargiola.  We have not yet appointed chairpersons for the compensation committee and the corporate governance and nominating committee. We believe that the number of independent directors that make up our board benefits the company, as well as our stockholders.
 
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
 
Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have historically determined that it is in the best interests of the company and its stockholders to combine these roles. Dr. Santilli has served as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman from April 2, 2007 through June 15, 2012. Due to the small size and early stage of the company, historically, it was most effective to have the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions combined. As of June 15, 2012, the Chairman and Chief Executive Office positions have become separate roles.
 
Our board of directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The board of directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. The board of directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our company are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While the board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.
 
The audit committee, which was formed on June 21, 2012, assists our board of directors in its general oversight of, among other things, the company’s policies, guidelines and related practices regarding risk assessment and risk management, including the risk of fraud. As part of this endeavor, the audit committee reviews and assesses the company’s major financial, legal, regulatory, environmental and similar risk exposures and the steps that management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The audit committee also reviews and assesses the quality and integrity of the company’s public reporting, the company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the performance and independence of the company’s independent auditors, the performance of the company’s internal audit department, the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and the adequacy and effectiveness of the company’s risk management policies and related practices.
 
Our corporate governance and nominating committee, which was formed on June 21, 2012, addresses risks associated with our management structure by reviewing, among other matters, the qualifications and backgrounds of our directors on an annual basis to ensure that our board is composed of individuals who are capable of providing appropriate oversight and insight to our executive management team in light of the compensation committee’s business.
 
Finally, our compensation committee, which was formed on June 21, 2012, reviews and provides guidance regarding our succession planning and assesses whether our compensation policies and practices incentivize excessive risk-taking.
 
 
Committees of the Board of Directors
 
On June 21, 2012, our board of directors formed three standing committees: audit, compensation, and corporate governance and nominating. Actions taken by our committees are reported to the full board. The board has determined that all members of each of the audit and compensation committees are independent under the current listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our corporate governance and nominating committee is made up of two independent directors and one employee director. Each of our committees has a charter and each charter is posted on our website.

Audit Committee
 
Our audit committee, which currently consists of three directors, provides assistance to our board in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary obligations with respect to matters involving the accounting, financial reporting, internal control and compliance functions of the company. Our audit committee employs an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the company and perform other assigned duties. Further, our audit committee provides general oversight with respect to the accounting principles employed in financial reporting and the adequacy of our internal controls. In discharging its responsibilities, our audit committee may rely on the reports, findings and representations of the company’s auditors, legal counsel, and responsible officers. Our board has determined that all members of the audit committee are financially literate within the meaning of SEC rules and under the current listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our board has also determined that Mr. Kerrest qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.”
 
Compensation Committee
 
Our compensation committee, which currently consists of two directors, establishes executive compensation policies consistent with the company’s objectives and stockholder interests. Our compensation committee also reviews the performance of our executive officers and establishes, adjusts and awards compensation, including incentive-based compensation, as more fully discussed below. In addition, our compensation committee generally is responsible for:
 
  
establishing and periodically reviewing our compensation philosophy and the adequacy of compensation plans and programs for our directors, executive officers and other employees;
  
overseeing our compensation plans, including the establishment of performance goals under the company’s incentive compensation arrangements and the review of performance against those goals in determining incentive award payouts;
  
overseeing our executive employment contracts, special retirement benefits, severance, change in control arrangements and/or similar plans;
  
acting as administrator of any company stock option plans; and
  
overseeing the outside consultant, if any, engaged by the compensation committee.
 
Our compensation committee periodically reviews the compensation paid to our non-employee directors and the principles upon which their compensation is determined. The compensation committee also periodically reports to the board on how our non-employee director compensation practices compare with those of other similarly situated public corporations and, if the compensation committee deems it appropriate, recommends changes to our director compensation practices to our board for approval.
 
Outside consulting firms retained by our compensation committee and management also will, if requested, provide assistance to the compensation committee in making its compensation-related decisions.
 
 
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
 
Our corporate governance and nominating committee, which currently consists of three directors, monitors our corporate governance system, assesses board membership needs, makes recommendations to the board regarding potential director candidates for election at the annual meetings of stockholders or in the event of any director vacancy, and performs any other functions or duties deemed appropriate by the board.
 
Director candidates must have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility and leadership experience in the companies or institutions with which they are or have been affiliated. Directors are selected based upon contributions that they can make to the company. The company does not maintain a separate policy regarding the diversity of its board members. However, consistent with its charter, the corporate governance and nominating committee, and ultimately the board, seeks directors (including nominees for director) with diverse personal and professional backgrounds, experience and perspectives that, when combined, provide a diverse portfolio of experience and knowledge that will well serve the company’s governance and strategic needs.

The warrants are not exercisable, however, to the extent that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Besser at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in Mr. Besser beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock. Mr. Besser may waive this ownership cap on 61 days’ prior notice to us, provided that pursuant to such waiver Mr. Besser shall not exercise an amount of warrants that would result in him beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock. As a result of the 4.99% ownership cap, Mr. Besser beneficially owns 938,855 shares of our Common Stock. If Besser waived this ownership cap, he would beneficially own 1,758,550 shares of our Common Stock or approximately 9.99% of our outstanding Common Stock.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
The following are the related party transactions in which we have engaged since May 2007:
 
At various times we received advances from Dr. Santilli and Carla Santilli for unsecured promissory notes. All funds are at the same terms of the original stockholder note. These promissory notes have no repayment date; however they are payable within 30 days of written demand. Payment is to include accrued simple interest at 4%. Since 2007, the company received promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $257,200. All note principal has been paid in full. Accrued interest, in the amount of $9,754, has been accrued on the net balances contributed, and remains outstanding as of the current date.
 
In 2008, an advance in the amount of $10,000 was made by a company owned by Dr. Santilli and Carla Santilli, for initial deposit for services. There were no repayment terms to this advance, no stated interest, and the amount was payable upon demand. This advance has been paid in full.
 
In February 2008, we entered into a five-year consulting agreement with Dr. Santilli, whose knowledge and expertise of the technology is essential in the development of the MagneGas product. The terms of the consulting agreement consist of issuance of common stock (10,000 shares) and payment of $5,000 per month to Dr. Santilli, upon the determination by the board of directors of MagneGas Corporation of achieving adequate funding. The board of directors has since determined that Dr. Santilli’s monthly accrued salary will be $15,000 per month. This consulting agreement was terminated on June 11, 2012 and was replaced with the employment agreement between Dr. Santilli and the Company, as described above.
 
Beginning in April 2008, we entered into a month-to-month lease, at a monthly rate of $2,500 per month for facilities to occupy approximately 3,000 square feet of a 6,000 square foot building and the use of certain equipment and utilities, as needed. In January 2011, the company expanded to occupy 5,000 square feet of the building and as a result, the rent was increased to $4,000 per month. The facility allows for expansion needs. The lease is held by EcoPlus, Inc., a company that is effectively controlled by Dr. Santilli.
 
On December 28, 2009 we acquired all relevant patents and intellectual property for the MagneGas technology from  Hyfuels, Inc., a company that is related by common management which originally secured an intellectual property license. Dr. Santilli is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Hyfuels, Inc., Carla Santilli is the Secretary of Hyfuels, Inc. and Ermanno Santilli is a director of Hyfuels, Inc. We issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at the fair market trading value of the stock at the time of purchase, in exchange for the intellectual property and U.S. patents. The intellectual property and U.S. patents were valued at the fair market value of $627,000 at the time of the transaction. We have no further transactions contemplated with Hyfuels, Inc.
 
The use of an initial small production refinery has been contributed by Dr. Santilli. The value of the refinery is approximately $210,000; the computed fair value of this month to month rental agreement is $1,870 per month and has been charged to equipment rental expense in the operating expenses, beginning in July 2008. Due to production demand, on December 28, 2011, the company entered into an agreement to transfer the title of the unit to the company in exchange for a promissory note of $210,500. The note was paid in full in April 2012. Accrued interest, in the amount of $17, has been accrued on the net balances contributed, and remains outstanding as of the current date.
 
On June, 25, 2010, we entered into an agreement to acquire a 20% ownership of MagneGas Europe. In exchange, we issued to Magnegas Europe 25,000 shares of common shares, which were valued at the fair market price at the date of grant, June 25, 2010, at $0.95 per share for an aggregate of $23,750.  Dr. Santilli is a stockholder of MagneGas Europe, and at the time of the agreement, Ermanno Santilli, our current Chief Executive Officer, was the Chief Executive Officer of MagneGas Europe and Vice President of MagneGas Corporation.
 
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
Introduction
 
In the discussion that follows, we have summarized selected provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the DGCL relating to our capital stock. This summary is not complete. This discussion is subject to the relevant provisions of Delaware law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws. You should read the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws as currently in effect for provisions that may be important to you.
 
Authorized Capital Stock
 
Our authorized capital stock consists of 900,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $0.001 per share, of which 1,000,000 is designated as Series A Preferred stock. As of August 13, 2012, 17,724,689 shares of our common stock and 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.  On June 26, 2012, we effected a 10-for-1 reverse stock split of our common stock.
 
Common Stock
 
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Our common stock does not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our certificate of incorporation. Although there are no provisions in our charter or by-laws that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control, the board of directors is authorized, without stockholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock that may contain rights or restrictions that could have this effect. Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
 
The stock purchase agreements under which we sold securities in certain private placements conducted in 2011 and 2012 contain anti-dilution rights applicable to the common stock sold in such private placements. These anti-dilution rights allow those investors to receive additional shares of our common stock in the event we sell shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than the prices sold in those offerings.  In the event this occurs, our other stockholders will experience immediate dilution, which may be substantial. 
 
Preferred Stock
 
Our certificate of incorporation provides that we are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.001 per share. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue from time to time the preferred stock in one or more series for such consideration and with such relative rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions that the board may determine. The preferences, powers, rights and restrictions of different series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and purchase funds and other matters. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.
 
Our Series A Preferred Stock has liquidation and dividend rights over common stock. It has no conversion rights or mandatory redemption features. Holders of our Series A Preferred stock are entitled to 100,000 votes for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote.
 
Dividends
 
Since inception we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the exploration and growth of our business, our board of directors will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future. Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and other factors, which our board of directors may deem relevant.
 
Warrants
 
As of August, 2012, we had 1,977,438 warrants to purchase 1,977,438 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 outstanding. 1,660,375 of these warrants are exercisable through October 28, 2016 and 317,063 of these warrants are exercisable through November 8, 2016. The exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications and mergers or other corporate change.
 
We also have outstanding warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50, exercisable through August 4, 2016. The exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers and other corporate change.
 
We also have 1,067,689 warrants to purchase 1,067,689 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 outstanding. 779,376 of these warrants are exercisable through March 29, 2017 and 288,313 of these warrants are exercisable through April 3, 2017. The exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications and mergers or other corporate change. 
 
Options
 
We have no formalized stock option plan. We may in the future establish an incentive stock option plan for our directors, employees and consultants.
 
Pursuant to his employment agreement, the company will issue options to Ermanno Santilli in the amount of 450,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The options will vest over a three-year period at 37,500 shares per quarter.
 
Pursuant to his employment agreement, the company will issue options to Scott Wainwright in the amount of 450,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The options will vest over a three-year period at 37,500 shares per quarter.
 
Pursuant to his employment agreement, the company issued options to Dr. Ruggero Santilli in the amount of 450,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The options will vest over a three year period at 37,500 shares per quarter.
 
Pursuant to her employment agreement, the company issued options to Luisa Ingargiola in the amount of 300,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The options will vest over a three year period at 25,000 shares per quarter.
 
We have issues issued options to various employees in the aggregate amount of 1,200,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The options will vest over a three year period at an aggregate amount 100,000 shares per quarter.
 
We have issues issued options to various employees in the aggregate amount of 60,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The options will vest over a one year period at an aggregate amount 15,000 shares per quarter.
 
Limitation on Directors’ Liability
 
The DGCL authorizes Delaware corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of their directors to them and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty of care. The duty of care requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors must exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Absent the limitations Delaware law authorizes, directors of Delaware corporations are accountable to those corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for conduct constituting gross negligence in the exercise of their duty of care. Delaware law enables Delaware corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors to us and our stockholders to the fullest extent Delaware law permits. Specifically, no director will be personally liable for monetary damages for any breach of the director’s fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:
 
for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; and
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
 
This provision could have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and may discourage or deter our stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us and our stockholders. Our bylaws provide indemnification to our officers and directors and other specified persons with respect to their conduct in various capacities. See “Indemnification of Directors and Officers.”
 
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or person controlling the company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of the DGCL and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
 
Provisions of the DGCL and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that our board of directors may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in improved terms for our stockholders.
 
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. We are also subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover statute. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the acquisition of shares that resulted in a stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.
 
Amendments to Our Certificate of Incorporation. Under the DGCL, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon and a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote thereon is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Under the DGCL, the holders of the outstanding shares of a class of our capital stock shall be entitled to vote as a class upon a proposed amendment, whether or not entitled to vote thereon by the certificate of incorporation, if the amendment would:
 
increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such class;
increase or decrease the par value of the shares of such class; or
alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of such class so as to affect them adversely.
 
If any proposed amendment would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of one or more series of any class of our capital stock so as to affect them adversely, but shall not so affect the entire class, then only the shares of the series so affected by the amendment shall be considered a separate class for the purposes of this provision.
 
Vacancies in the board of directors. Our bylaws provide that, subject to limitations, any vacancy occurring in our board of directors for any reason may be filled by a majority of the remaining members of our board of directors then in office, even if such majority is less than a quorum. Each director so elected shall hold office until the expiration of the term of the other directors. Each such directors shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until the earlier of his or her death, resignation or removal.
 
 
Special Meetings of Stockholders. Under our bylaws, special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time by our President whenever so directed in writing by a majority of the entire board of directors. Special meetings can also be called whenever one-third of the number of shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting shall, in writing, request one. Under the DGCL, written notice of any special meeting must be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the special meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting.
 
No Cumulative Voting. The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless our certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.

All of our officers, directors and certain of our 10% stockholders have entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to offer, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock for a period of 90 days from the date of this prospectus without our prior written consent or, in some cases, the prior written consent of Northland Securities, Inc.  Northland Securities, Inc. has advised us that it has no current intent or arrangement to release any of the shares subject to the lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up period.  There are no contractually specified conditions for the waiver of lock-up restrictions and any waiver is at the sole discretion of Northland Securities, Inc., which may be granted by Northland Securities, Inc. for any reason.  The 90-day lock-up period will be automatically extended if (i) during the last 17 days of the 90-day restricted period we issue an earnings release or announce material news or a material event or (ii) prior to the expiration of the 90-day restricted period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 15-day period following the last day of the 90-day period, in which case the restrictions described in this paragraph will continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the announcement of the material news or material event. After the lock-up period, these shares may be sold, subject to applicable securities laws.  See the “Underwriting” section.

A non-affiliated person who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least one year would be entitled to sell those shares without regard to the provisions of Rule 144.

The underwriters' warrants, which are warrants to purchase common stock, will be exercisable beginning 181 days after the closing date of this offering and ending on the fifth anniversary of the date of effectiveness of the registration statement relating to this offering. In addition, pursuant to Rule 5110(g) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), the underwriters' warrants may not be sold during this offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the underwriters’ warrants, or the shares acquirable upon exercise thereof, by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement relating to this offering, except as provided in paragraph (g)(2) of Rule 5110(g) of FINRA.  The warrants, fees and expenses of the underwriters that we have agreed to reimburse are not included in the underwriting discounts set forth in the table below.
 
The underwriters have not received and will not receive from us any other item of compensation or expense in connection with this offering considered by FINRA to be underwriting compensation under its rule of fair price. The underwriting discount and other items of compensation the underwriters will receive were determined through arms’ length negotiations between us and the underwriters.

Our common stock currently trades in very limited quantities on the Nasdaq Capital Market and previously traded in limited quantities on the OTCBB.  However, our underwriters are not obligated to make a market in our shares, and even if they choose to make a market, they can discontinue at any time without notice.  Neither we nor the underwriters can provide any assurance that an active and liquid trading market in our shares will develop further or, if developed further, that the market will continue.

We entered into an engagement letter with Northland Securities, Inc., which may be terminated by either party subject to certain restrictions, pursuant to which Northland Securities, Inc. provides us with certain financial advisory services.  In connection with the engagement, Northland Securities, Inc. served as placement agent for our March 28, 2012 and April 3, 2012 private placement of 1,941,250 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 970,625 shares common stock at a price of $2.00 per unit, for which Northland Securities, Inc. received cash compensation in the amount of $271,775, warrants to purchase 97,062 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share and reimbursed Northland Securities, Inc. for $51,250 of its accountable expenses in connection with the private placement.  The exercise price of the warrants is subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate change and are on the same terms as the warrants issued to investors in the private placement.  These warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the original issuance date.  Any securities that are unregistered and acquired by any underwriter and related persons during 180 days prior to the filing date, or acquired after the required filing date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and deemed to be underwriting compensation by FINRA, and any securities excluded from underwriting compensation, shall not be sold during the offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date or commencement of sales of the public offering, subject to certain exceptions.  Northland Securities, Inc. has also served as placement agent for our October 28, 2011 and November 8, 2011 private placement of 1,966,250 shares of common stock and 1,966,250 warrants to purchase common stock, for which Northland Securities, Inc. received cash compensation in the amount of $220,220, warrants to purchase 98,315 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share and reimbursed Northland Securities, Inc. for $13,500 of its accountable expenses in connection with the private placement.  We also issued the placement agent warrants to purchase up to 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share as a retainer for providing us with financial advisory services.  These warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the original issuance date. The exercise prices of these warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate change and are on the same terms as the warrants issued to investors in the private placement.
 
We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
 
Our directors and officers, as well as the selling stockholders, have agreed not to offer, sell, agree to sell, directly or indirectly, or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock without the prior written consent of Northland Securities, Inc. for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus.  These “lock-up” agreements cover approximately an aggregate of 9,987,101 shares of our common stock and are subject to limited exceptions.
 
We have agreed to certain restrictions on our ability to sell additional shares of our common stock for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus. We have agreed not to offer, sell, agree to sell, directly or indirectly, or otherwise issue or dispose of, any shares of common stock, securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock, or any related security or instrument, without the prior written consent of the underwriters. The agreement is subject to limited exceptions.
 
To facilitate the offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock during and after the offering. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot or otherwise create a short position in the common stock for its own account by selling more shares than have been sold to it by us. The underwriters may elect to cover any such short position by purchasing shares of common stock in the open market. In addition, the underwriters may stabilize or maintain the price of the common stock by bidding for or purchasing shares of common stock in the open market and may impose penalty bids. If penalty bids are imposed, selling concessions allowed to broker-dealers participating in the offering are reclaimed if shares of common stock previously distributed in the offering are repurchased, whether in connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid may also affect the price of the common stock to the extent that it discourages resales of the common stock. The magnitude or effect of any stabilization or other transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Capital Market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
 
In connection with this offering, the underwriter (and selling group members) may also engage in passive market making transactions in the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Passive market making consists of displaying bids the Nasdaq Capital Market limited by the prices of independent market makers and effecting purchases limited by those prices in response to order flow. Rule 103 of Regulation M promulgated by the SEC limits the amount of net purchases that each passive market maker may make and the displayed size of each bid. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
 
The underwriters may facilitate the marketing of this offering online directly or through one of its affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms and a prospectus online and place orders online or through their financial advisors.
 
We have not taken any action to permit a public offering of the shares outside the United States or to permit the possession or distribution of this prospectus outside the United States. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform themselves about and observe any restrictions relating to this offering of shares and the distribution of the prospectus outside the United States.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MagneGas Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  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 audit.  

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 at this time, 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 controls over financial reporting.   Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audit, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America  
 
These statements have been retroactively restated for a reverse stock split that occurred on June 26, 2012.  See note 12 to the financial statements.

MagneGas Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2011
Restated
 
 1.        Background Information
 
MagneGas Corporation (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Delaware on December 9, 2005. The Company was originally organized under the name 4307, Inc, for the purpose of locating and negotiating with a business entity for a combination. On April 2, 2007 all the issued and outstanding shares of 4307, Inc. were purchased and the Company name was changed to MagneGas Corporation.
 
The Company’s operating plan and mission is to produce a hydrogen based alternative fuel made from liquid waste. A patented process has been developed which transforms contaminated liquid waste through a proprietary plasma arc technology. A byproduct of this process is to produce an alternative to natural gas. The patented proprietary technology is owned by the Company.  The Company produces bottled gas for the purpose of distribution to the metal working market.  Additionally, the Company is marketing, for sale or licensure, its proprietary plasma arc machines.
 
2.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The significant accounting policies followed are:
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These principals require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These principals require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements presented include estimates for patent life, recoverability of deferred tax assets and collections on our receivables.  Our estimates include consideration of the useful lives of our intellectual property, allocations to research and development costs and recognition of deferred tax assets.
 
Variable Interest Entities
 
The Company considers the consolidation of entities to which the usual condition (ownership of a majority voting interest) of consolidation does not apply, focusing on controlling financial interests that may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interest.  If an enterprise holds a majority of the variable interests of an entity, it would be considered the primary beneficiary.  The primary beneficiary is generally required to consolidate assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests at fair value (or at historical cost if the entity is a related party) and subsequently account for the variable interest as if it were consolidated based on a majority voting interest.   The Company has investments in joint ventures that are in development of the MagneGas technology, however the Company is not identified as a primary beneficiary; therefore no consolidation is required and the investments are listed at their cost.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced a framework for measuring fair value and expanded required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  The Company adopted the standard for those financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and the impact of adoption was not significant. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
 
·  
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
·  
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
·  
Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
 
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2011. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.
 
The Company applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States.  Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.  At December 31, 2011, approximately $500,000 was in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed on demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Accounts Receivable, Credit
 
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due for the delivery of MagneGas sales to customers.    An allowance for doubtful accounts is considered to be established for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of the Company’s customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends.  Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary.   Receivables are determined to be past due, based on payment terms of original invoices.  The Company does not typically charge interest on past due receivables.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
The Company generates revenue through two processes: (1) Sale of MagneGas fuel for metal cutting and (2) Sale of its Plasma Arc Flow units.  Additionally we also recognize revenue from territorial license arrangements.
 
        ·
 Revenue for metal-working fuel is recognized when shipments are made to customers. The Company recognizes a sale when the product has been shipped and risk of loss has passed to the customer.
        ·
Revenue generated from sales of its production unit is recognized on a percentage of completion, based on the progress during manufacturing of the unit.  Our machine is a significant investment and generally requires a 6 to 9 month production cycle.  During the course of building a unit the actual costs are tracked to our cost estimates and revenue is proportionately recognized during the process.   Significant deposits are required before production.  These deposits are classified as customer deposits.  During our production, costs and progress earnings are accumulated and included in “Costs and earnings” as an asset.
        ·
Licenses are issued, per contractual agreement, for distribution rights within certain geographic territories.  We recognize revenue ratably, based on the amounts paid or values received, over the term of the licensing agreement.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or market, which approximates actual cost. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.  Inventory is comprised of filled cylinders of MagneGas and accessories (regulators and tips) available for sale and accumulated costs incurred in the manufacturing process of units held for future sales.
 
The Company is manufacturing additional units for sale.  Each unit is assigned a project number and the costs, including labor, are accumulated in the carrying value as inventory.  Upon delivery, the accumulated cost for the unit will be charged to cost of sales.  Units are reclassified to capitalized assets when shipped to location for the production of metal cutting gas for the purpose of resale.
 
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives (3-7 years).  Intellectual property assets are stated at their fair value acquisition cost. Amortization of intellectual property assets is calculated by the straight line method over their estimated useful lives (15 years).  Historical costs are reviewed and evaluated for their net realizable value of the assets.  The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment existed at December 31, 2011.
 
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset.  The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required.  If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
 
 Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company issues restricted stock to consultants for various services Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.   The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services.  Stock compensation for the periods presented were issued to consultants for past services provided, accordingly, all shares issued are fully vested, and there is no unrecognized compensation associated with these transactions.  In May 2008 the Company entered into a consulting agreement for services to be rendered over a five year period.  The consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period.
 
Shipping Costs
 
The Company includes shipping costs and freight-in costs in cost of goods sold.  Total freight-in included in cost of goods sold expense was $19,646 and $118 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Advertising Costs
 
The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expenses are included in the Company’s operating expenses.   Advertising expense was $63,747 and $74,017 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively
 
Research and Development
 
The Company expenses research and development costs when incurred.  Research and development costs include engineering and laboratory testing of product and outputs.  Indirect costs related to research and developments are allocated based on percentage usage to the research and development.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purpose, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares.  The Company has issued options to several investors, upon their purchase of shares.  Options, whose strike price is less than the current market value, are considered common stock equivalents and are included in dilutive earnings per share.

3.         Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). This newly issued accounting standard requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions executed under a master netting or similar arrangement and was issued to enable users of financial statements to understand the effects or potential effects of those arrangements on its financial position. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As this accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact our financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05). This newly issued accounting standard (1) eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity; (2) requires the consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income; and (3) requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income nor do the amendments affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which defers the requirement within ASU 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. During the deferral, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect prior to the issuance of ASU 2011-05. These ASUs are required to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. As these accounting standards do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, the adoption of these standards is not expected to have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (ASU 2011-04). This newly issued accounting standard clarifies the application of certain existing fair value measurement guidance and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (level 3)  inputs. This ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company.  Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

Amortization of the intangible assets was $48,467 and $48,467 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Management periodically reviews the valuation of this asset for potential impairments.  Consideration of various risks to the valuation and potential impairment includes, but is not limited to:  (a) the technology’s acceptance in the marketplace and our ability to attain projected forecasts of revenue (discounted cash flow of projections); (b) competition of alternative solutions; and (c) federal and state laws which may prohibit the use of our production machinery as currently designed.   Management has not impaired this asset, to date, and does not anticipate any negative impact from known current business developments. Management continuously measures the marketplace, potential revenue developments and competitive developments in the scientific industry.
 
6.         Investment in Joint Ventures
 
On June 25, 2010, the Company entered into agreement with a Belgium company, whereby 25,000 shares of MagneGas Corporation’s common stock and territorial license rights were exchanged for a 20% interest in MagneGas Europe.  The Company valued the investment in the Joint Venture at the fair market value of the shares issued ($23,750).   The Company does not have effective or beneficial control over the European entity and is to account for the investment under the Equity Method.  Current year activity for the joint venture was immaterial.
 
 
On June 28, 2010, the Company entered into agreement with DDI Industries, a China company, in formation of MagneGas China.  The Company is to provide mechanical drawings (for complete construction), computer programs, license of patents (Greater China Region), trademarks, etc. of the Plasma Arc Flow Recyclers to the new entity in exchange for a $2 million investment in MagneGas Corporation (received as of September 30, 2011; subscription at a share price of $0.135 or 1,481,481 common shares) and 20% share in MagneGas China.  The Company’s investment has been valued at $466,660, a mutually agreed amount for the technology license.  The MagneGas China entity has been funded in cash for an amount which reflects the intellectual property’s value. The Company does not have effective or beneficial control over the China entity and is to account for the investment under the Cost Method.  Current year activity for the joint venture was immaterial.
 
Our investments in joint ventures are considered as Level 3, as defined in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), and management considers alternative methods for valuing these investments to determine if there would be impairment to the current carrying value, currently our cost basis.   As of December 31, 2011, management does not believe any impairment exists with regard to the investments in joint ventures.

Deferred Income Taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are the result of timing differences between book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, timing of income and expense recognition of certain items and net operating loss carry-forwards.
 
The Company assesses temporary differences resulting from different treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded in our balance sheets. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance on an ongoing basis. In evaluating its deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon generating sufficient future taxable income prior to the expiration of the tax attributes.  In assessing the need for a valuation allowance the Company must project future levels of taxable income. This assessment requires significant judgment. The Company examined the evidence related to a recent history of tax losses, the economic conditions in which it operates recent organizational changes, its forecasts and projections. The Company therefore has recorded deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2010, as it is satisfied the realization standard for the year ended December 31, 2010.  For the year ended 2011 the Company incurred a net operating loss.  The Company expects that future earnings will be in excess of the net operating losses incurred through date, however, management believes that the current loss does not provide positive evidence to which the recognition of future tax benefit can be applied and therefore has not recorded a tax benefit for the net operating loss in the current year.  The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit.
 
The Company had not previously recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated since inception through December 31, 2009 based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods of which, at the time, the realization could not be considered more likely than not.  Based on events occurring in 2010, management recognized such benefits to the extent that it could reasonably forecast.  Management has re-assessed the valuation allowance and the recognition of its deferred tax losses, however, based on the Company’s history of losses and other negative evidence resulting in the allowance, no income tax benefit will be recognized for the periods prior to 2009, as well as the current year.  Future years will require certain considerations in determining to what extent should be recognized, however this is dependent on certain events that will result in positive evidence.   The tax benefit for the prior periods, in the amount of $348,800, arising from operating losses as a start-up company and other temporary differences, has been off-set by an equal valuation allowance.  Current period would have resulted in a $1.2 million deferred tax benefit, which has been off-set by an equal (100%) valuation allowance.

Management believes that the Company has matured and product acceptance will generate the revenues and achieve a level of profitability creating taxable income of approximately $1,212,000 which would utilize the recognized deferred tax assets.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, these losses can be carried forward twenty years.   As of December 31, 2011 the Company has net operating loss carry forwards remaining from the following years:

F-13

 
Common Stock includes 900,000,000 shares authorized at a par value of $0.001. The number of authorized shares reflects an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, increasing the authorized shares from 100,000,000 to 900,000,000. The holders of Common Stock and the equivalent Preferred Stock, voting together, shall appoint the members of the Board of the Directors. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote.
 
Founding contributors were issued 6,705,200 shares during 2007.   As management determined that the Company had negligible value, no value was attributed to the founders’ shares.   
 
During year ended December 31, 2009, the company issued 3,000,000 common shares, valued at $727,000 to secure intellectual property rights and 10,000 common shares under a consulting agreement (see Related Party Transactions).  
 
The Company issues restricted common shares to employees and consultants at various times.  The restricted common shares are valued at the fair market value at the date of grant (closing market price).  The Company has issued 341,500 shares valued at $669,490 and 242,600 shares valued at $240,143 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
In the course of business, the Company has sold shares of common stock for the purposes of raising operating funds.   The Company has issued 2,752,908 shares for $4,256,000 and 1,481,481 shares for $2,000,000 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 50,000 warrants to a consultant with an exercise term of 5 years and a strike price of $1.50.  Additionally the Company issued 15,000 warrants, exercisable within 3 years at $3.00, for services related to the private placement efforts.  The Company calculated the value of these warrants at $98,500, based on using Black Scholes model.  The weighted average of assumptions used in the calculation were volatility of 151.7%, estimated life of 2.5 years, 0% forfeiture and risk free interest rate of 1.8%.  
 
During 2011, the Company also issued options attached to the purchase of shares at a 1:1 ratio, resulting in the issuance of 2,034,950 options.  Values for these attached options were included in the original capitalized transactions, as the values were not bifurcated from the investment proceeds.  These options are exercisable within 3 years at a price of $3.00 per share. There were no options or warrants issued to investors during the year ended December 31, 2010.

The use of an initial small production refinery has been contributed by Dr. Ruggero Santilli, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Scientist, and Chairman of the Board.  The computed rental values were based on the cost basis of the unit, which is approximately $210,000; the month to month rental agreement is $1,870 per month and has been charged to equipment rental expense in the operating expenses.  To reflect the contributed value, the corresponding entry has been charged to additional paid in capital, and is included in the statement of stockholders’ equity.  Total contributed value was $22,440 for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  Due to production demand, on December 28, 2011, the Company and Dr. Santilli entered into an agreement to transfer the title of the unit to the Company in exchange for a demand note in the amount of $210,500 at an interest rate of 3%.
 
9.         Related Party Transactions
 
The following are the related party transactions in which we have engaged since May 2007:
 
At various times we received advances from a stockholder for an unsecured promissory note. All funds are at the same terms of the original stockholder note. These promissory notes have no repayment date; however it is payable within 30 days of written demand. Payment is to include accrued simple interest at 4%. All notes have been paid in full
 
In 2008, an advance in the amount of $10,000 was made by a company owned by a stockholder, for initial deposit for services. There were no repayment terms to this advance and the amount was payable upon demand. This has been paid in full
 
In February 2008, we entered into a 5 year consulting agreement with Dr. Santilli, whose knowledge and expertise of the technology is essential in the development of the MagneGas product. The terms of the consulting agreement consist of issuance of common stock (10,000 shares) and payment of $5,000 per month to Dr. Santilli, upon the determination by the board of directors of MagneGas Corporation of achieving adequate funding. The board of directors has since determined that Dr. Santilli’s monthly accrued salary will be $15,000 per month.
 
Beginning in April 2008, we entered into a month-to-month lease, at a monthly rate of $2,500 per month for facilities to occupy approximately 3,000 square feet of a 6,000 square foot building and the use of certain equipment and utilities, as needed. In January 2011, the Company expanded to occupy 5,000 square feet of the building and as a result, the rent was increased to $4,000 per month. The facility allows for expansion needs. The lease is held by a company that is effectively controlled by Dr. Santilli.
 
On December 28, 2009 we acquired all relevant patents and intellectual property for the MagneGas technology from a company, Hyfuels, Inc. related by common management, that originally secured an intellectual property license. We issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at the fair market trading value of the stock at the time of purchase, in exchange for the intellectual property and U.S. patents. We have no further transactions contemplated with HyFuels, Inc.
 
The use of an initial small production refinery has been contributed by Dr. Santilli. The value of the refinery is approximately $210,000; the computed fair value of this month to month rental agreement is $1,870 per month and has been charged to equipment rental expense in the operating expenses, beginning in July 2008. Due to production demand, on December 28, 2011, the Company and Dr. Santilli entered into an agreement to transfer the title of the unit to the Company in exchange for a demand note in the amount of $210,500 at an interest rate of 3%.
 
We entered into an agreement to acquire a 20% ownership of Magnegas Europe. MagneGas Europe is related by common management. The CEO of Magnegas Europe, Ermanno Santilli, is also the Vice President of the Company and is the son of Dr. Santilli. Dr. Santilli is also a shareholder of Magnegas Europe.
 
The amounts and terms of the above transactions may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent third parties.

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of MagneGas Corporation.
 
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of MagneGas Corporation as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management.
 
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MagneGas Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
 
1. Background Information
 
MagneGas Corporation (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Delaware on December 9, 2005. The Company was originally organized under the name 4307, Inc, for the purpose of locating and negotiating with a business entity for a combination. On April 2, 2007 all the issued and outstanding shares of 4307, Inc. were purchased and the Company name was changed to MagneGas Corporation.

MagneGas Corporation is an alternative energy company that creates and produces hydrogen based alternative fuel through the gasification of liquid waste. We have developed a process which transforms various types of liquid waste through a proprietary plasma arc machine. The result of the product is to carbonize the waste for normal disposal. A byproduct of this process is to produce an alternative to natural gas currently sold in the metalworking market. We produce gas bottled in cylinders for the purpose of distribution to the metalworking market as an alternative to acetylene. Additionally, we market, for sale or licensure, our proprietary plasma arc technology. Through the course of our business development, we have established a retail and wholesale platform to sell our fuel for use in the metalworking and manufacturing industries. In 2010, we recognized our initial sale of a Plasma Arc Flow unit and are continuing efforts to sell or lease additional equipment to end users.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The significant accounting policies followed are:
 
Basis of Presentation
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the result of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011; (b) the financial position at June 30, 2012; and (c) cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, have been made.
  
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year classifications for comparability purposes.

Use of Estimates
 
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements presented include estimates for patent life, recoverability of deferred tax assets and collections on our receivables.  Our estimates include consideration of the useful lives of our intellectual property, allocations to research and development costs and recognition of deferred tax assets.
 
Variable Interest Entities
 
The Company considers the consolidation of entities to which the usual condition (ownership of a majority voting interest) of consolidation does not apply, focusing on controlling financial interests that may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interest.  If an enterprise holds a majority of the variable interests of an entity, it would be considered the primary beneficiary.  The primary beneficiary is generally required to consolidate assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests at fair value (or at historical cost if the entity is a related party) and subsequently account for the variable interest as if it were consolidated based on a majority voting interest. The Company has investments in joint ventures that are in development of the MagneGas technology, however the Company is not identified as a primary beneficiary; therefore no consolidation is required and the investments are listed at their cost.  
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced a framework for measuring fair value and expanded required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  The Company adopted the standard for those financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and the impact of adoption was not significant. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ” (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principle or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
  
Level 1 -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
 
 
Level 2 -
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 -
Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2012. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, inventory, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.  The Company applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States.  Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed on demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Accounts Receivable, Credit
 
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due for the delivery of MagneGas sales to customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is considered to be established for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of the Company’s customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends.  Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary, based on considerations of limited credit history with our customers and in consideration of the economy.  Receivables are determined to be past due, based on payment terms of original invoices.  The Company does not typically charge interest on past due receivables.
 
Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue through two processes: (1) Sale of MagneGas fuel for metal cutting and (2) Sale of its Plasma Arc Flow units.  Additionally we also recognize revenue from territorial license arrangements.
 
Revenue for metal-working fuel is recognized when shipments are made to customers. The Company recognizes a sale when the product has been shipped and risk of loss has passed to the customer.
Revenue generated from sales of its production unit is recognized on a percentage of completion, based on the progress during manufacturing of the unit.  Our machine is a significant investment and generally requires a 6 to 9 month production cycle.  During the course of building a unit the actual costs are tracked to our cost estimates and revenue is proportionately recognized during the process.   Significant deposits are required before production.  These deposits are classified as customer deposits.  During our production, costs and progress earnings are accumulated and included in “Costs and earnings” as an asset.
Licenses are issued, per contractual agreement, for distribution rights within certain geographic territories.  We recognize revenue ratably, based on the amounts paid or values received, over the term of the licensing agreement.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or market, which approximates actual cost. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.  Inventory is comprised of filled cylinders of MagneGas and accessories (regulators and tips) available for sale and accumulated costs incurred in the manufacturing process of units held for future sales.
 
Long-Lived Assets

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives (3-7 years).  Intellectual property assets are stated at their fair value acquisition cost. Amortization of intellectual property assets is calculated by the straight line method over their specific life (15 years).  Historical costs are reviewed and evaluated for their net realizable value of the assets.  The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment existed at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset.  The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required.  If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
 
Stock Based Compensation

The Company issues restricted stock to consultants for various services Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.   The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services.  Stock compensation for the periods presented were issued to consultants for past services provided, accordingly, all shares issued are fully vested, and there is no unrecognized compensation associated with these transactions.  In May 2008 the Company entered into a consulting agreement for services to be rendered over a five year period.  The consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period.
 
Shipping Costs
 
The Company includes shipping costs and freight-in costs in direct costs, for those expenses associated with revenue process. The Company has incurred shipping and delivery costs associated with establishing units at production sites as well as incurring costs in shipping samples, trade shows and other business related functions, which are charged to selling or administrative expense.
 
Advertising Costs
 
The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expenses are included in the Company’s operating expenses.   Advertising expense was $11.658, $20,306, $38,320 and $33,819 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
Research and Development
 
The Company expenses research and development costs when incurred.  Research and development costs include engineering and laboratory testing of product and outputs.  Indirect costs related to research and developments are allocated based on percentage usage to the research and development.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purpose, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares.  In periods of net loss, stock equivalents are excluded, as those shares would be anti-dilutive. The Company has issued options to several investors, upon their purchase of shares.  Options, whose strike price is less than the current market value, are considered common stock equivalents and are included in dilutive earnings per share.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company.  Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Management periodically reviews the valuation of this asset for potential impairments.  Consideration of various risks to the valuation and potential impairment includes, but is not limited to:  (a) the technology’s acceptance in the marketplace and our ability to attain projected forecasts of revenue (discounted cash flow of projections); (b) competition of alternative solutions; and (c) federal and state laws which may prohibit the use of our production machinery as currently designed.   Management has not impaired this asset, to date, and does not anticipate any negative impact from known current business developments. Management continuously measures the marketplace, potential revenue developments and competitive developments in the scientific industry.

6. Investment in Joint Ventures

On June 25, 2010, the Company entered into agreement with a Belgium company, whereby 250,000 shares of MagneGas Corporation’s common stock and territorial license rights were exchanged for a 20% interest in MagneGas Europe.  The Company valued the investment in the Joint Venture at the fair market value of the shares issued ($23,750).   The Company does not have effective or beneficial control over the European entity and is to account for the investment under the Equity Method.
 
On June 28, 2010, the Company entered into agreement with DDI Industries, a China company, in formation of MagneGas China.  The Company is to provide mechanical drawings (for complete construction), computer programs, license of patents (Greater China Region), trademarks, etc. of the Plasma Arc Flow Recyclers to the new entity in exchange for a $2 million investment in MagneGas Corporation (received as of September 30, 2010; subscription at a share price of $0.135 or 14,814,814 common shares) and 20% share in MagneGas China.  The Company’s investment has been valued at $466,660, a mutually agreed amount for the technology license.  The MagneGas China entity has been funded in cash for an amount which reflects the intellectual property’s value. The Company does not have effective or beneficial control over the China entity and is to account for the investment under the Equity Method.

Our investments in joint ventures are considered as Level 3, as defined in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ” (ASC 820), and management considers alternative methods for valuing these investments to determine if there would be impairment to the current carrying value, currently our cost basis.   As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, management does not believe any impairment exists with regard to the investments in joint ventures.
 
7. Deferred Revenue and Customer Deposits

The Company has received deposits on production units and fees for exclusive territorial license.  We have deferred the associated revenues until such time that production order is placed and produced (recognition under percentage of completion method) or through the passage of time (recognition over the life of the license term).

Deferred Income Taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are the result of timing differences between book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, timing of income and expense recognition of certain items and net operating loss carry-forwards.
 
The Company assesses temporary differences resulting from different treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded in our balance sheets. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance on an ongoing basis. In evaluating its deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon generating sufficient future taxable income prior to the expiration of the tax attributes.  In assessing the need for a valuation allowance the Company must project future levels of taxable income. This assessment requires significant judgment. The Company examined the evidence related to a recent history of tax losses, the economic conditions in which it operates recent organizational changes, its forecasts and projections. The Company therefore has recorded deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011, as it is satisfied the realization standard for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit.

The Company had not previously recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated since inception through December 31, 2009 based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods of which, at the time, the realization could not be considered more likely than not.  Based on events subsequent to the balance sheet date, management has re-assessed the valuation allowance and the recognition of its deferred tax losses, however, based on the Company’s history of losses and other negative evidence resulting in the allowance, no income tax benefit will be recognized for prior periods.  The tax benefit for the prior periods, in the amount of $348,800, arising from operating losses as a start-up company and other temporary differences, has been off-set by an equal valuation allowance.
 
The following is a schedule of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

For balance sheet presentation the Company nets its current deferred tax assets and liabilities and non-current deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
Management believes that the Company has matured and product acceptance will generate the revenues and achieve a level of profitability that would create taxable income of approximately $1.2 million which would utilize the recognized deferred tax assets.
 
Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, these losses can be carried forward twenty years.  As of December 31, 2011 the Company has net operating loss carry forwards remaining from the following years:

The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ending December 31, 2006 through 2011. The Company state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ending December 31, 2006 through 2011.
 
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income taxes in income tax expense. The Company had incurred no penalties and interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
 
9. Equity
