PART I


This Annual Report on Form 10-KSB contains “forward-looking statements." These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as the Company "believes," "anticipates," "expects" or words of similar import.  Similarly, statements that describe the Company's projected future results, future plans, objectives, goals, future conditions or events are also forward-looking statements.  Actual results are inherently difficult to predict.  Any such forward-looking statements are subject to the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results of operations, financial condition, acquisitions, financing transactions, expenditures, expansion and other events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements would be subject to a number of assumptions regarding, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions. Such assumptions would be based on facts and conditions as they exist at the time such statements are made as well as predictions as to future facts and conditions, the accurate prediction of which may be difficult and involve the assessment of events beyond the Company's control.


Further, the Company's business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that would affect any such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:


·

the Company’s critical need for additional cash to sustain existing operations and meet existing obligations and capital requirements (the Company’s auditor’s opinions on our fiscal 2002 through 2007 financial statements contain a “going concern” qualification in which they express doubt about the Company’s ability to continue in business);

·

the ability to contract for and generate profitable operations from large scale remediation projects;

·

the ability of the Company to implement its waste processing operations, including obtaining commercial waste processing contracts and processing waste under such contracts in a timely and cost effective manner;

·

the timing and award of contracts by the U.S. Department of Energy for the cleanup of waste sites administered by it;

·

the acceptance and implementation of the Company’s waste treatment technologies in the government and commercial sectors;

·

the Company’s ability to obtain and perform under other large technical support services projects;

·

developments in environmental legislation and regulation;

·

the ability of the Company to obtain future financing on favorable terms;

·

other circumstances affecting anticipated revenues and costs;

·

the expiration of the Company’s nationwide EPA permit in September 2001 (The Company believes that the permit may be renewed subject to providing additional information.  The Company has not resubmitted information for a new permit); and

·

the ability of the Company to replicate on a large scale, economically viable basis,  the results of its technology test results.


These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results of the Company to differ materially from those projected or implied by such forward-looking statements. 


ITEM 1.

BUSINESS


GENERAL


Commodore Applied Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") is an environmental solutions company offering a range of environmental and technical services to the public and private sectors related to (i) providing services related to environmental management for on-site and off-site identification, investigation remediation and management of hazardous, mixed and radioactive waste, (ii) remediating contamination in soils, liquids and other materials and disposing of or reusing certain waste by-products by utilizing our Solvated Electron Technology (“SET™”) and (iii) sale of safety and protective equipment used in the treatment, handling and disposal of hazardous materials.


The Company’s corporate mission is to serve the environmental remediation market from its primary operating center to profitably provide government and industry with environmental and remediation solutions to legacy waste environmental problems.  Our strategy focuses the Company on the unique and high profit niches of hazardous materials conversion and waste remediation.


The Company was incorporated in Delaware in March 1996.  As used in this Annual Report, and except as the context otherwise requires, the "Company" means Commodore Applied Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Commodore Solutions, Inc., Government Environmental Technologies, Inc., and Commodore Advanced Sciences, Inc.  The Company's



3



principal executive offices are located at 507 Knight Street, Suite B, Richland, Washington  99352, and its telephone number at that address is (509) 943-2565.


SEGMENT INFORMATION


The Company currently has identified two operating segments.  These two segments are as follows:

·

Commodore Advanced Sciences, Inc., which primarily provides various environmental and regulatory services to Government agencies on a fixed rate and lump sum basis and provides safety and protective equipment used to treat, handle or dispose of hazardous materials; and

·

Commodore Solutions, Inc., which is commercializing technologies to treat mixed and hazardous wastes, principally the Company’s SET technology.


Additional information regarding the business of each segment is set forth below, and the information in Note 17 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB is incorporated into this Part I by reference.


COMMODORE ADVANCED SCIENCES, INC. - ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT


The Company, through Commodore Advanced Sciences, Inc. (“Advanced Sciences”), provides specialized technical and project management products and services primarily to government-sector customers, including the Department of Energy (“DOE”) and the Department of Defense (“DOD”), and also to private-sector domestic industrial customers.  Advanced Sciences engages in all aspects of environmental regulation and compliance, as well as access to leading technologies and innovative skills related to the identification, investigation, remediation and management of hazardous, mixed and radiological waste sites. Advanced Sciences also sells safety, protective and technical equipment used by its customers and hazardous material handlers.  Advanced Sciences currently operates from an office located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, with its principal executive officers and administrative activities being performed at the offices of its parent company, Commodore Applied Technologies, located in Richland, Washington.


Services


Environmental Services: Advanced Sciences is a nationwide firm specializing in environmental characterization, regulatory compliance technical support and waste management. Advanced Sciences qualifies as a small business under seven NAICS codes.  This subsidiary employs approximately 30 professionals who are expert in providing environmental sample collection, transportation, and analyses, meeting rigorous quality assurance requirements while performing in accord with equally rigorous personnel health and safety requirements.  


Advanced Sciences’ history of program management and technical services include:


- Environmental Site Restoration Planning

- D & D Planning & Implementation Support

- Preliminary Assessments/Site Investigations

- Waste Minimization

- Environmental Audits & Assessments

- Health & Safety Oversight & Planning

- Underground-Storage-Tank Site Investigation

- Biological Sampling and Characterization

- Environmental Impact Assessments & Statements & Remediation

- Structural Engineering Analysis    

- Remedial Investigations/Feasibility Studies

- Deconstruction Planning

- Environmental Pollution Control

- Regulatory Compliance

- Hazardous, Radioactive, Toxic & Mixed-Waste

- Federal & State Agency Coordination Management Including Treatment

- Public Involvement Support

- Hazardous Waste Site Remediation

The two most significant clients Advanced Sciences has had over the past 10 years have been the DOD and the DOE, while also providing services to private industry. Advanced Sciences’ largest office provides environmental characterization and management, building decontamination and decommissioning (“D&D”), environmental protection, remediation, restoration, safety & health, and environmental regulatory compliance for the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge Complex.

In addition to the Oak Ridge Complex in Tennessee, the Company has performed environmental monitoring and remediation services at Rocky Flats in Colorado, Los Alamos in New Mexico, Chatfield Basin in Colorado and other significant sites, predominantly nuclear energy sites run by the DOD or DOE.


Remediation Services:  Having already established a market position in the consulting and front-end analysis phase, Advanced Sciences plans to follow market demand into remediation services.  After an environmental problem is identified, Advanced Sciences offers alternative remediation approaches that may involve providing on-site waste containment or management of on-site/off-site remediation and waste removal.  Advanced Sciences can also redesign its customers' ongoing production processes and develop technical specifications to minimize or eliminate the generation of hazardous waste.  The Company believes that Advanced Sciences' integration of environmental skills, plus its access to innovative technologies, provide Advanced Sciences with a competitive advantage in redesigning production processes.


Technical Services:  New technologies play a critical role in both the remediation of existing waste sites and in the reduction of waste generated by ongoing production processes.  Advanced Sciences has access to the SET technology and all its derivatives.  Advanced Sciences has at its disposal, on a per project basis, what it believes are some among the most qualified professionals in the environmental consulting business.  Advanced Sciences' scientists have participated on national boards for risk assessment and quality assurance, were instrumental in the development of environmental regulations for the DOE and the DOD, and have served as expert witnesses before the U.S. Congress and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.  To maintain its competitive position, Advanced Sciences intends to continue to develop viable remediation technologies and attract and retain qualified personnel.


Contracts


EDAM Advanced Sciences was awarded an Environmental Data Acquisition and Management contract (“EDAM”) by Bechtel Jacobs Company LLC of Oak Ridge, TN (“BJC”) in September 2004.  Prior to August 2006, Advanced Sciences was the lead small business member of the Commodore Advanced Sciences Team (“CAST”), which also included team members Science Applications International, Inc. (“SAIC”), and RCS Corporation (“RCS”).


CAST performed and managed the EDAM contract through its renewal in August 2006, when Advanced Sciences alone was awarded the full contract of reduced services, with BJC self-performing most tasks previously subcontracted to SAIC as part of the original contract. RCS continues as a teaming partner and subcontractor.  BJC also assumed management and invoicing for 13 analytical laboratories that were subcontracted through Advanced Sciences.  Analytical laboratory costs, although included as revenue of Advances Sciences, were a zero-margin pass-through activity as a condition to the EDAM contract in place for 2005 and most of 2006. As a result, gross contract revenues decreased in 2007, as well as for the balance of the contract period; however, Advanced Sciences expects better profit margin percentages because the pass-through subcontract to SAIC was a very low margin activity for Advanced Sciences.  This program is continuously monitored and audited for safety, quality, productivity, efficiency, and value to BJC and Department of Energy-Oak Ridge.


Sampling activities under the EDAM contract include collection of multiple sample types from hundreds of monitoring locations and packaging and shipping of samples to appropriate analytical laboratories for analysis. Locations and environments include abandoned burial grounds and hazardous waste sites, fields and forests, streams, lakes, and ponds. Sampling tasks support a variety of ongoing monitoring programs, including the Water Resource Restoration Program (“WRRP”) to determine the effectiveness of remedial actions conducted under Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) and the ETTP Environmental Monitoring Program. Regulatory compliance data acquisition and management projects include Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit compliance, the Biological Monitoring and Abatement Program, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (“SWPPP”) activities. All of these compliance sampling programs are closely monitored by regulators, stakeholders, BJC, and DOE-OR.


The Company believes the EDAM contract may attract more DOE client groups than are contemplated in the base scope of the contract.  The Company is seeking to extend its environmental monitoring service capabilities to other DOE sites, such as Portsmouth, OH and Paducah, KY.   The EDAM contract, in which Advanced Sciences participates as a subcontractor, is for a total of approximately $29 million through September of 2008, of which Advanced Sciences’ portion is approximately $2.0 million and is reflected in the Company’s backlog.


Energy Solutions Advanced Sciences was awarded a one-year contract from Duratek Federal Services, Inc. (now Energy Solutions) beginning in January 2005, which was renewed in January 2006 and 2007 for additional one-year periods, to perform environmental monitoring services at two engineered landfills on the Oak Ridge Reservation.  Environmental monitoring services include sample collection, packaging and shipping to offsite analytical laboratories.   Samples are collected



5



from surface water, groundwater, and landfill leachate collection locations on storm event, weekly, monthly, and quarterly bases.


American Aquatics Advanced Sciences is contracted by American Aquatics under the terms of an asset purchase and sale agreement executed in January 2007 to provide fish and aquatic insect sampling collection, taxonomy, and enumeration. As a result of the asset purchase agreement, Advanced Sciences acquired an outstanding staff of aquatic biologists who have extensive experience in evaluation of aquatic ecosystems and collection and identification of benthic macro-invertebrates. Advanced Sciences has the only benthic laboratory in the eastern United States that is licensed and capable of handling aquatic samples that are potentially contaminated with radioactivity, while simultaneously processing uncontaminated samples. The contract with American Aquatics runs through 2008.


Chatfield Watershed Authority Advanced Sciences is contracted annually to implement the Chatfield Water Quality Monitoring Program that involves sample and data collection, laboratory subcontract management, and data management for the entire Chatfield Basin watershed located southwest of Denver.  The contract was ongoing through 2007 and has been renewed annually with Advanced Sciences since 1986.


Legacy Management

 In 2007, a team lead by the Stoller Corporation was awarded the DOE’s Legacy Management Program contract, an approximately $200 Million effort over the next four years.  Commodore is on that team, and while specific scope assignments are being pursued with Stoller, we expect that Commodore’s presence on the team will further enhance the Company’s position as an industry leader in environmental services.  The Legacy Management Program embraces the DOE sites that have been decommissioned and decontaminated (over 94 sites so far).

Tetra Tech Contract Advanced Sciences provides engineering support under Tetra Tech's general engineering support contract with BJC.  BJC is responsible for environmental oversight of the U.S. DOE's Oak Ridge, TN site.  Advanced Sciences provided 1 to 3 engineering personnel on a time and material basis to Tetra Tech on a contract basis.  This contract expired March 31, 2007.


WESKEM Advanced Sciences was awarded a one-year contract in March 2005 from WESKEM LLC., of Oak Ridge to support their sampling efforts with the Waste Disposition Services Project. The Sample Management Office (“SMO”) services required to meet the needs of this project are: (i) Assistance with the preparation of analytical statement of works (“SOW”), (ii) Maintenance of laboratory performance metrics, (iii) Procurement of best value laboratories, (iv) Performance of contract verification of data, and (v) Tracking of samples and sample residue. This contract expired in October 2006.


Sales


Commodore Sales Solutions


A division of Applied Sciences, doing business as Commodore Sales Solution (CSS), sells finished goods used in environmental remediation services and the handling of hazardous materials.  CSS delivers protective coverings and clothing, breathing systems, filtration systems as well as other safety and construction equipment to customers in and around the Company’s Oak Ridge, TN office.   


CSS sells products predominantly used in the environmental remediation and hazardous materials handling. The presence of the Oak Ride National Laboratory and significant number of government sector business working with the DOE and DOD creates a strong market for the products distributed by the Company. CSS also provides Applied Sciences with reliable access to the materials and equipment required in the daily performance of the Company’s environmental services at a reduced cost.  CSS was started in the second quarter of 2007 when the Company acquired the inventory on hand of one of Advanced Sciences main suppliers. Management believes that revenues at CSS will exceed $1 million in 2008.


COMMODORE SOLUTION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.  - DECONTAMINATION


The Company, through Commodore Solutions, Inc. (“Solutions”), has developed and has commercialized its patented process known as SET.  Based on the results of its extensive testing and commercial processing activities, the Company believes that SET is capable of effectively treating and decontaminating soils and other materials, including sludges, sediments, oils and other hydrocarbon liquids, metals, clothing and porous and non-porous structures and surfaces by destroying PCBs, pesticides, dioxins, chlorinated substances and other toxic contaminants to an extent sufficient to satisfy current federal environmental guidelines.  The Company also believes that, based on the results of additional tests, SET is capable of neutralizing substantially all known chemical weapons materials and warfare agents, explosives and concentrating certain radioactive wastes for more effective disposal.



6




The Company believes that SET is the only patented, non-thermal, portable and scalable process that is currently available for treating and decontaminating soils, liquids and other materials containing PCBs, pesticides, dioxins, chemical weapons and warfare agents and other toxic contaminants.


SET Contracts


The Company was awarded an Advanced Remediation Demonstration contract by the Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) for the Company's technology for the separation of radioactive (surrogate) and RCRA heavy metals from sludges and other waste matrices.


The DOE-EM awarded 12 contracts totaling $3.3 million, of which the Company’s demonstration was a part, to support the development of technologies that have the potential to reduce cleanup costs and increase the safety and efficiency of treating and disposing of various waste streams, including radioactive waste at such sites as Hanford, Idaho, Savannah River, and others.


The Company’s Phase I contract was performed over a six month period, concluding in January 2007. Phase I activities included: laboratory/pilot-scale test results, developing a technical approach for demonstration, scale-up and implementation schedule, detailed system design, and a detailed cost estimate for implementation in Phase II. We reported successful results upon which a $300,000 Phase II of the contract has been proposed, and is awaiting approval and funding..  We do not know when or if this Phase will be awarded.


The SET Technology


The Company, its subsidiaries and predecessors have researched, developed, acquired, tested and proven the SET technology, including its processes and equipment, over several years.  


The process is based upon a chemical phenomenon discovered by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1865, shown below for the liquid phase of a sodium and potassium solution:


Na0 + K0    [commodore10ksbapr1508s002.gif]

Na+ + K+ + 2e - (the solvated solution)


The solution has been called solvated electrons since the dissolved metal releases electrons to the solution in huge numbers.  These electrons, also know as free radicals, are the most powerful reducing agents known, quickly reacting with many compounds.  Most of the alkali metals readily dissolve in anhydrous ammonia releasing their valance electrons into the ammonia in a relatively rare but stable state unassociated with any atom.  In this state, both the electrons and the metal atoms are available to react with other elements and compounds.  


The SET technology, which is based upon solvated electron chemistry, mixes anhydrous liquid ammonia and/or other similar solvents with reactive metals and contaminated elements to effect the selective destruction or neutralization of organic compounds (such as PCBs, pesticides and dioxins).  The Company has demonstrated that SET can achieve consistently high levels of contaminant destruction when working with PCBs, dioxins and pesticides.  SET has treated soils containing up to 10,000 parts per million (“ppm”) of contaminants, and oils containing up to 250,000 ppm, leaving residual soils and oils with contamination levels of less than one ppm. In addition, SET has been successfully applied to other PCB-contaminated surfaces such as concrete.  The SET process can be used in conjunction with selected post-treatment processes such that no hazardous or toxic residues will result from the use of SET, nor will there be any toxic emissions into the air, water, soils or other surfaces.  For example, most contaminated soils treated with SET can (subject, in some instances, to re-blending the soil with organic matter) be used subsequently for planting or for any other use for which non-contaminated soils are appropriate.


Equipment utilized in the SET process consists of tanks, pumps and piping to handle anhydrous ammonia and other solvents in liquid and vapor forms, and treatment vessels for holding contaminated materials and for the introduction of solvating solutions.  The system can be transported to field sites and configured in numerous sizes.


The SET process requires placing the contaminated materials into a treatment vessel where they are mixed with a solvent and charged with a base metal (e.g. sodium).  The chemical reaction produces metal salts such as calcium chloride, calcium hydroxide and non-halogenated inert organics.  The ammonia within the treatment vessel is then removed to a discharge tank for later reuse.  The materials are removed, sampled for residual traces of PCB or other halogenated organic compounds, and placed in storage for disposal.  In many cases, the decontaminated soil and metals can be replaced in their original location,



7



recycled or reused.  The solvents do not enter the chemical reaction, but merely serve as dissolving liquids for the solvated electron solution.


Operational Characteristics: Substantially all existing systems in use for the destruction of PCBs and other halogenated compounds involve incineration or other thermal processes, and either the permanent installation of highly complex and expensive incinerators and waste disposal equipment at the affected site, or the removal of contaminated materials to off-site facilities.  The Company believes that SET represents an approach to resolving serious environmental remediation issues that does not create or entail the safety risks of air pollution and transportation of hazardous materials.  The Company believes that SET is more effective than incineration and other destruction processes for toxic substances in that:


·

SET does not emit toxic fumes into the atmosphere, as is sometimes the case with thermal or incineration methods;

·

SET is portable and can be moved directly to the contaminated site, thereby reducing the risk of off-site contamination;

·

SET equipment can be customized and configured for various treatment applications;

·

SET's reaction time is substantially less than that of alternative processes, such as thermal destruction and other forms of chemical treatment;

·

SET equipment can be installed and operated inside industrial plant facilities to treat hazardous wastes “on-line” as a continuation of the manufacturing process;

·

SET, when used to treat soils, yields nitrogen-enriched soils that can be reused on-site, avoiding replacement and the post-treatment costs of off-site disposal; and

·

SET has been shown to neutralize or destroy all chemical weapons material and warfare agents in the United States stockpile, and Lewisite (the primary chemical weapons material and warfare agent of the former Soviet Union), in tests conducted by an independent, federally certified surety laboratory.


The Company believes that SET is the only technology currently available that possesses all of these features and is capable of treating a wide variety of contaminants.  The above characteristics (non-thermal, no air emissions, mobile) are particularly applicable when dealing with mixed waste.  Wastes that contain radioactive material and hazardous waste regulated by RCRA and TSCA are particularly difficult to treat and have extremely limited disposal options.  By applying the SET process to remove the RCRA and TSCA components, leaving only radioactive waste material, disposal options expand.  SET not only removes the hazardous components but also does so by an efficient, non-thermal process that can control and contain the radioactive material so that it remains in the treated material and does not enter the environment in an uncontrolled fashion.  


EPA Nationwide Permit: The Company has previously qualified for a permit from the EPA to enable it to treat PCBs within the United States on all non-Superfund sites.  Most EPA permits granted to date for PCB destruction are solely for single-site incineration treatment centers. Commodore’s initial EPA Nationwide Permit was the first (and only) to be issued for nationwide use as a totally enclosed, non-thermal, chemical destruction process for PCB contaminated organic material.  The permit authorized treatment of soils at contamination levels greater than 1,000 ppm PCBs, and also authorized treatment of miscellaneous metallic materials.  The test results, confirmed by EPA’s contract program laboratory, indicated organics contaminated with PCBs exceeding 5,000 ppm, were treated to non-detect levels of PCBs. In addition to soil treatment, the Nationwide Permit allows the Company to treat PCB contaminated metallic surfaces and waste oils, as well as wastewater (the wastewater is treated by a non-SET process).  The Company has also successfully demonstrated SET as a treatment process for organic materials contaminated with PCBs and radionuclides and has received a draft revised EPA permit for these matrices.  This permit revision covers the destruction of PCBs in soils, waste oils, organic materials, water, and on metallic surfaces.  


Prior to securing a significant contract which utilizes the SET technology, the Company will be required to renew this permit, which expired in 2001.  The renewal process may require the Company to provide additional information to the EPA at the time of renewal.


Based on currently published lists of EPA national operating permits, the Company believes that it possesses the only mobile non-thermal PCB treatment technology for multiple applications permitted under the EPA's Alternate Destruction Technology Program.  The EPA's Alternative Destruction Technology Program is designed to encourage remediation technologies as an alternative to incineration. EPA regulations governing permitting have been in effect for more than 15 years, and according to the latest EPA published list of non-thermal destructive processes, only seven companies have met EPA's stringent requirements for commercial operation.  Of these, only the Company has been permitted for the chemical destruction of such a wide range of PCB contaminated materials.  




8



Test Results:  The Company has performed treatability studies and actual commercial applications of the SET process that have resulted in successful treatment of over 120 regulated compounds.  In more than 1,500 tests using SET, various high levels of contaminants, including PCBs, were reduced to levels approaching non-detectable with the destruction process occurring in a matter of minutes.


The Company has performed various treatability studies and processed commercial quantities of waste utilizing the SET process.  Additionally, the Company has conducted several hundred tests of the SET technology on limited quantities of contaminated material, and there can be no assurance that SET will be able to replicate any of these test results on a large-scale commercial basis or on any specific project.  


Discussions and selected test results are available at the Company’s website at www.commodore.com.


MARKETS AND CUSTOMERS


General


The Company markets its services and technologies to governmental and industrial customers throughout the United States.  Additionally, the Company’s technologies also have application to similar customers in markets abroad, particularly in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.  While the Company currently does not actively market outside the United States, it does receive inquiries from time to time from these markets concerning its technologies. A majority of the Company's sales are technical in nature and involve senior technical and management professionals, supported by the Company's corporate management. During the year ended December 31, 2007, a significant portion of the Company’s environmental management services revenue was derived from contracts with federal, state and municipal government agencies.  Contracts with governmental customers generally may be terminated at any time at the option of the customer. In 2007, two contracts with a single customer, BJC, accounted for approximately 70.9% of Advanced Sciences' service revenues.  In 2006, BJC accounted for approximately 90.2% of Advanced Sciences’ service revenues. The loss of Bechtel Jacobs as a customer would have a material adverse effect upon the Company.


Demand for our environmental technologies is anticipated to arise principally from the following sources:


·

Stricter legislation and regulations mandating new or increased levels of air and water pollution control and solid waste management; and

·

the need for alternative environmental treatment and disposal methods for toxic substances (such as the SET technology), which involve limited safety risks with respect to air pollution and transportation of hazardous materials and do not result in large volumes of residual waste that require further treatment prior to disposal.


Our business strategy is to expand our environmental technologies businesses by:


·

establishing additional collaborative joint working and marketing arrangements with established engineering and environmental service organizations to pursue commercial opportunities in the public and private sector;

·

diversifying the types of service and products offered to clients and potential new customers; and

·

implementing the SET technology in selected niche markets within certain strategic environmental market segments, such as government mixed waste remediation and chemical weapons demilitarization.


Decontamination


The Company anticipates that the initial market for commercial applications of SET will be the hazardous and mixed waste and industrial by-products treatment and disposal market.  Mixed waste is material that contains both a hazardous and radioactive component.  The most common methods of treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes and industrial by-products include landfilling, chemical and biological treatment and incineration.  Most of the current treatment and disposal methods entail air pollution and transportation risks.  In a mixed waste, both hazardous and nuclear regulations apply, making disposal difficult, if not impossible.  Currently, there exists very limited disposal options and these may not provide a permanent solution.  Certain of these treatment and disposal methods result in large volumes of residual waste, which may require further treatment prior to disposal.  As a result, a number of these methods are encountering increased public resistance and added regulatory oversight.


The Company has been working very closely with the DOE site in Portsmouth, OH to demonstrate SET’s effectiveness in removing PCB’s from samples of mixed waste at that facility.  Currently, that facility is relying on the TSCAI incinerator at Oak Ridge, TN to destroy this waste material.  However, that incinerator is currently being evaluated for potential shutdown



9



and decommissioning within the next two years.  Should that occur, the Company believes its SET technology will represent an economical and effective method of neutralizing the millions of pounds of mixed waste at the Portsmouth facility.  The Company has completed bench tests which demonstrate the success of the SET process in removing PCB’s from Pyrenol™ samples provided by the Portsmouth facility.  Phase II of this testing, the timing and accomplishment of which is contingent upon DOE funding of approximately $300,000, will be to move a small SET machine to Portsmouth for larger scale on site testing.  With the anticipated successful completion of Phase II, the Company would be prepared to move its large SET machine, and possibly build additional units, to the facility for full-scale operation to neutralize the entire volume of waste over a multi-year contract.  


As with any new technology or process, there has been initial resistance to the use of SET on a large scale, especially in connection with a strong vested interest on the part of the U.S. Military (based on substantial expenditures and commitments previously made) to use incineration for the destruction of chemical weapons.  In addition, other prospective projects for the Company have already been committed to other forms of destruction technology, including incineration, plasma arc, vitrification, molten metal, molten salt, chemical neutralization, biological treatment, catalytic electrochemical oxidation and supercritical wet oxidation.  The Company, and its collaborative partners, have been attempting to overcome such competition by introducing SET in smaller clean-up projects and through feasibility studies demonstrating its applicability to larger projects, such as the Initial Harrisburg Contract during 2000 and 2001, and the WCS Fixed Facility Processing Contract during  2001.  The SET process provides a significant advantage by allowing the processed material to be disposed of as a non-mixed waste by destroying the hazardous component.


It may also be anticipated that, over an extended period, the market for decontamination of hazardous materials will continue to decline as past environmental degradation is corrected, and as the private and public sectors limit further pollution through prohibitions on production and use of a broad range of hazardous materials and through the modification and improved efficiency of various manufacturing processes.   The mixed waste market is one of the few areas that shows growth and has limited competition when compared to the general hazardous waste market.  The Company believes the SET process brings a unique solution to the problem of remediating mixed waste.


Environmental Management


Based on market data compiled by Advanced Sciences, the largest market for environmental services today within the United States is the U.S. Government.  Government-wide spending levels for environmental services exceed $10 billion per year.  The DOD and DOE are expected to account for approximately 66% of such expenditures and together expect to spend in excess of $200 billion for environmental work over the next twenty years.  Advanced Sciences has a long-term record for providing environmental services to the U.S. Government with the DOD and DOE being its primary customers.


RAW MATERIALS


With the exception of the SET technology, most of the Company’s revenue streams do not require raw materials.

The Company has historically experienced no difficulty in obtaining components used in the SET process for which it relies on a broad range of suppliers.  Nevertheless, business disruptions or financial difficulties of such suppliers, shortages or other causes beyond the Company's control, could adversely affect the Company by increasing the cost of goods sold or reducing the availability of such components.  If the Company was unable to obtain a sufficient supply of required components, it could experience significant delays in the furnishing of components used in the SET process, which could result in the loss of orders and customers and could have a material adverse affect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, if the cost of finished components were to increase, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to pass such increase on to its customers.  The use of outside suppliers also entails risks of quality control and disclosure of proprietary information.

BACKLOG


At December 31, 2007, total potential backlog for the Company was approximately $1.7 million as compared with approximately $2.1 million as of December 31, 2006. The total backlog represents work for which the Company has entered into a signed agreement or purchase order with respect thereto or has received an order to proceed with work up to a specified dollar amount.  The Company estimates that all of the total backlog represents work that will be completed in the next 12 months. Backlog amounts have historically resulted in revenues; however, no assurance can be given that all amounts included in backlog will ultimately be realized, even if covered by written contracts or work orders.



10



RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT


The Company is not currently under taking any research and development projects. Management is continually looking for new technologies or new applications for current Company technology. Research and development expenditures for the Company and its subsidiaries were $0 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY


The Company currently has sixteen (8) issued U.S. and foreign patents.  The average life expectancy for the currently issued patents is 9.7 years.  As patents are issued, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office assigns the Company a twenty (20) year patent-life for each patent issued.


The Company believes that its patent portfolio provides the Company with the proprietary intellectual property to market, distribute, and license the full range of the SET technology and all of its derivatives.  Additionally, the Company’s strength of its patent portfolio may operate as an effective “barrier to entry” in several of the markets in which the Company is presently conducting business.


To protect its trade secrets and the un-patented proprietary information in its development activities, the Company requires its employees, consultants and contractors to enter into agreements providing for the confidentiality and the Company's ownership of such trade secrets and other un-patented proprietary information originated by such persons while in the employ of the Company. The Company also requires potential collaborative partners to enter into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements.


There can be no assurance that any patents that may hereafter be obtained, or any of the Company's confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, will provide meaningful protection of the Company's confidential or proprietary information in the case of unauthorized use or disclosure. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur significant costs and expenses, including the costs of any future litigation, to defend its rights in respect of any such intellectual property.


COMPETITION


Decontamination  


 

The Company anticipates that the market for commercial private sector applications of SET will be hazardous and non-hazardous waste and industrial by-products treatment and disposal, in particular the more recalcitrant “mixed” wastes (wastes containing a radioactive element).  Several large domestic and international companies and numerous small companies, many of whom have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company, compete with the Company in this market.  The Company primarily competes in the hazardous waste treatment market in the U.S.  The top ten competitors in this market account for over 70 percent of the revenues for this market sector.  The dominant companies in this sector include companies with permitted waste treatment and disposal sites, including Energy Solutions, Pacific EcoSolution, and American Ecology, as well as other treatment companies such as PermaFix.  The Company’s revenues for 2007 account for less than 1 percent of the dollar volume of the hazardous waste market.  Any one or more of the Company's competitors or other enterprises not presently known may develop technologies which are superior to the technologies utilized by the Company.  To the extent that the Company's competitors are able to offer comparable services at lower prices or of higher quality, or more cost-effective remediation alternatives, the Company's ability to compete effectively could be adversely affected.

 

The domestic and international governmental public sector of the market is dominated by many large multinational corporations who are presently engaged in providing incineration and other conventional technologies in decontaminating chemical weapons and warfare agents, concentration of nuclear wastes and the decontamination of military vessels and other hardware.  These competitors include Raytheon Corporation (the current general contractor for the Johnston Atoll incinerator), EG&G, Inc. (the general contractor for the Tooele Army Depot), Mason and Hanger (the general contractor for the Newport News Naval Facility), Waste Management Corporation (a bidder for domestic "large burial" stockpile weapons decontamination), and others, including Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc., Jacobs Engineering, Inc., Fluor Daniel Corporation and Lockheed Martin Marietta Corporation.  All of these corporations have substantially greater financial, personnel and other resources than the Company.  In addition, many prospective users of SET have already committed substantial resources to other forms of environmental remediation technology, including incineration, plasma arc, vitrification, bio-remediation, molten salt, chemical neutralization, catalytic electrochemical oxidation and supercritical wet oxidation.

 



11



The Company believes that its ability to compete in both the commercial private and governmental public sectors is dependent upon SET being accepted in these sectors as a superior, more cost-effective method to achieve decontamination of a variety of materials.

 

Environmental Management  

 

In the hazardous waste management market, Advanced Sciences' competitors include such firms as Energy Solutions, Jacobs Engineering, Science Applications International Corp., CH2M Hill and CDM, all of whom have greater financial and other resources than the Company.  In providing environmental impact assessment services, Commodore Advanced Sciences' principal competitors in this market sector include RSI, North Wind, Stoller, Weston Solutions, The Earth Technology Corp., Battelle, URS and Woodward-Clyde.  


Commodore Advanced Sciences currently occupies a position in the waste management and environmental services arena by virtue of its long-term record for providing environmental services to the United States government. Primary factors affecting Advanced Sciences' competitiveness in this market are its ability to continue to attract and retain qualified technical and professional staff with quality project performance records and to control its costs of doing business.


In an effort to maintain its competitive position, Advanced Sciences believes that it has developed a solid infrastructure, acquired a qualified professional staff, and developed aggressive marketing objectives to provide hazardous waste management and environmental sciences to the United States government and private sector industrial customers.  The Company believes its competitive position with the United States government is enhanced by the physical proximity of Advanced Sciences' plants to DOE and DOD sites, its skilled professional staff, prior project experience with the United States government, numerous existing multi-year contracts with the United States government, integrated services and high quality performance.


ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION


The environmental legislation and policies which the Company believes are applicable to SET in the United States primarily include TSCA, RCRA, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 ("SARA"), and may include, on a case by case basis, the Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended (the "Clean Air Act").  These laws regulate the management and disposal of toxic and hazardous substances, provide for the protection of land and groundwater resources, and control the discharge of pollutants into the air.  Many of these laws have international counterparts, particularly in Europe and elsewhere in North America.


TSCA regulates the manufacture, distribution, and sale of chemical substances, and requires testing of new chemicals and new uses of known chemicals that may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.  The EPA, through TSCA, has adopted comprehensive regulations for PCB's and other halogenated substances, as part of a vast regulatory program covering thousands of chemicals.


RCRA was enacted in 1976 with the primary objective to protect human health and the environment and to conserve valuable material and energy resources.  The most important aspect of RCRA is its establishment of “cradle-to-grave” management and tracking of hazardous waste, from generator to transporter, to treatment, storage, and disposal.


CERCLA and subsequent amendments under SARA (often referred to collectively as Superfund) impose strict, retroactive liability upon persons who generated, transported, or arranged for the transportation of hazardous substances or owned or operated the vessels or facilities at which such substances were disposed.  CERCLA provides for the investigation and remediation of hazardous substance sites and mandates that any hazardous substances remaining on-site must meet certain regulatory requirements, with a preference for innovative technology.  These program regulations may create an incentive to utilize environmental-friendly technologies such as SET, which destroy targeted wastes without creating additional residual waste product.  Moreover, to the extent hazardous substances are effectively destroyed, potential liability can be eliminated or significantly reduced.


The Clean Air Act empowered the EPA to establish and enforce ambient air quality standards and limitations on emissions of air pollutants from specific facilities.  In 1987, the EPA began to enforce stricter standards for incineration emissions.  With more stringent regulations on waste reduction technologies, the Company believes that SET could obtain a desired market share since, in most cases, it produces little or no air emissions.



12




CERCLA imposes strict joint and several liability upon owners or operators of facilities when a release or threatened release of a hazardous substance has occurred, upon parties who generated hazardous substances that were released at such facilities and upon parties who arranged for the transportation of hazardous substances to and from such facilities.  The Company's plans to own and operate SET at on-site installations expose the Company to potential liability under CERCLA for releases of hazardous substances at those sites.  In the event that off-site treatment, storage or disposal facilities utilized by the Company for final disposition of residues from SET are targeted for investigation and clean-up under CERCLA, the Company could incur liability as a generator of such materials or by virtue of having arranged for their transportation and disposal.


In light of such potential liability, the Company has designed the SET technology to minimize the potential for release of hazardous substances into the environment.  In addition, the Company has developed plans to manage the risk of CERCLA liability, including training of operators, use of operational controls and structuring of its relationships with the entities responsible for the handling of waste materials and by-products.  The Company also maintains insurance with respect to environmental claims, although there can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate.


The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 impose strict requirements upon owners and operators of facilities that discharge pollutants into the environment.  These amendments may require that certain air emission control technology be installed on the SET systems in the event that there is any discharge of non-recovered gases into the environment.  Such additional air emission controls can be costly and require an air permit to construct and operate.


The Company obtained a Nationwide Permit issued by the EPA under the Alternative Destruction Technology Program that allowed it to use SET on-site to treat PCB-contaminated soils and metallic surfaces, although the permit is currently expired.  The Nationwide Permit contains numerous conditions for maintaining the Nationwide Permit and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with such conditions to maintain and/or secure renewal of the Nationwide Permit.  In addition, if environmental legislation or regulations are amended, or are interpreted or enforced differently, the Company may be required to meet stricter standards of operation and/or obtain additional operating permits or approvals.  Failure to obtain such permits or otherwise comply with such regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its operations.   Various revisions to the equipment and process parameters are being made to the existing permit.  The Company believes that the revised permit will be issued pending the final site selection for the full or part-time operation of any SET system for the treatment of PCB wastes.  The revised permit will require the Company to fund closure costs associated with the implementation of any SET system for the treatment of PCB wastes.  The closure costs are calculated on a site-by-site basis and are funded accordingly by the Company.  


EMPLOYEES


As of December 31, 2007, the Company (including its direct subsidiaries) had a total of 31 full-time and 3 part-time employees, of which approximately 18 are engineers, scientists, environmental technicians and other professionals.  None of such employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements and the Company's relations with its employees are believed to be good.


All 30 persons on the technical staff are extensively trained in proper procedures for handling waste materials and environmental media.  Advanced Sciences’ technical staff has more than 500 years of combined experience performing environmental and waste sampling tasks.  Ten of our personnel hold DOE security clearances.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


Indemnification Matters


The Company, along with several other entities, in a prior year guaranteed a performance bond of Separation relating to a contract with the Port of Baltimore.  The Company was notified on June 28, 2000 that the performance bond was being called. It is not known, at this time, the amount, if any, the Company’s share of any potential liability would be. There has been no communication with the bond issuer or the Port of Baltimore since 2000, and the matter may no longer be an open issue.


As of March 15, 2008, no litigation or claim has been filed against the Company, or any of the Company’s subsidiaries with respect to this indemnification issue.  No amount has been recorded in the financial statements as the Company is unable to determine a loss amount, if any, on the issue of indemnification.


Incidental Matters


The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the conduct of their business.  Management believes that none of this litigation, individually or in the aggregate, is material to the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


OVERVIEW


The Company generates all of its revenues through Advanced Sciences. Revenues are derived from the sale environmental services under contracts with various government agencies and private companies in the U.S and the sale of finished good inventory used in environmental services and hazardous materials handling.  


As some government contracts are funded in one-year increments, there is a possibility for cutbacks as these contracts constitute a major portion of Advanced Sciences’ revenues, and such a reduction would materially affect operations.  However, management believes Advanced Sciences’ existing client relationships will allow the Company to obtain new contracts in the future.  The Company has access to technologies related to the separation and destruction of mixed waste, polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) and chlorofluorocarbons (“CFCs”).  The Company is currently working on the commercialization of these technologies through development efforts, licensing arrangements and joint ventures.


In the second quarter of 2007 Applied Sciences acquired approximately $40 thousand in finished good inventory from a supplier and began selling goods used in the performance of environmental services and hazardous materials handling under the assumed business name Commodore Sales Solution (CSS). CSS gives the Company another revenue source that is complimentary to the sale of environmental services. As the Company’s sales representative continues to build the sales pipeline management expects revenue from CSS to continue to grow.     


The Company has identified two reportable segments in which it operates, based on the guidelines set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131.  These two segments are as follows:  Commodore Advanced Sciences, Inc., which primarily provides various environmental sampling, analysis and data management services to Government agencies on a lump sum and fixed cost basis; and Commodore Solutions, Inc., which is commercializing technologies to treat mixed and hazardous waste.


The Company currently requires additional cash to sustain existing operations and to meet current obligations and ongoing capital requirements.  The Company’s current monthly operating expenses exceed cash revenues by approximately $80 thousand. Currently, the Company is addressing this cash shortfall through loans from The Shaar Fund, Ltd., but The Shaar Fund, Ltd. is under no obligation to continue to make such advances to the Company. If this lender decided to discontinue advances, the Company would not be able to meet its current obligations.  In addition, the Company owes approximately $564 thousand in loans that are currently due or are payable on demand.  Although the lenders on these loans have not yet called the loans, the Company does not currently have the ability to pay these loans absent additional financing.


The reports of our independent registered public accounting firms on our fiscal 2006 and 2007 consolidated financial statements contain a “going concern” qualification in which they express substantial doubt about our ability to continue in business.   The Company currently requires additional cash to sustain existing operations and to meet current obligations and ongoing capital requirements.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Year ended December 31, 2007 compared to Year ended December 31, 2006


Environmental Services


Environmental service revenues were approximately $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The decreases in service revenues is attributable to Advanced Sciences as certain contracts were closed out in 2006 and there was a reduction in the value of the EDAM renewal contract awarded to the Company late in 2006. Service revenues in 2007 were primarily derived from engineering and scientific services performed for the United States government under two contracts similar to those in place in 2006.  Advanced Sciences had one major customer in 2007, which represents more than 10% of annual revenue.  Revenue from this customer was approximately $1.8 million or 71.2% of the Company’s total 2007 service revenue.  The decrease in service revenues at Advanced Sciences is primarily the result of the revision of the EDAM contract at a lower total amount, due to BJC performing more self-assessment tasks and the removal of management of laboratory activities from the contract. This modification to the contract upon renewal results in less pass-through revenues to the Company subcontractors which have very little, if any, margin.  




17



Cost of sales for service revenues decreased from approximately $7.2 million for 2006 to approximately $2.6 million for 2007. A decrease in cost of sales at Advanced Sciences was the result of decreased revenues due to the completion of the original EDAM contract and a decrease in pass through revenue related to self-assessment tasks and laboratory activities. The Company’s backlog at December 31, 2007 totals approximately $1.7 million, all of which represents work to be completed during calendar year 2008. This compares to a backlog of approximately $2.1 million at December 31, 2006, all of which was performed during calendar year 2007. Revenues and associated expenses in relation to the EDAM contract are expected to be lower for calendar 2008 when compared to 2007 as a result of the reduced backlog at the end of 2007.


Contracts of the Company may be subjected to audit by the DCAA. Anticipated losses on contracts are provided for by a charge to income during the period such losses are first identified. During 2007, the Company completed a DCAA audit of a single contract for the period January 1995 through December 1999. The DCAA had asserted that the Company incorrectly overbilled the Government for services rendered under contracts performed during the period under audit. The Company had previously recorded a liability totaling $376 thousand as a reserve to settle any claims or expense that may be incurred as a result of the audit process. The amount recorded was estimated based on an assessment of potential liability using an analysis of available information with respect to pending claims, historical experience and, where available, recent and current trends. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the DCAA completed their audit and a settlement was reached. Contrary to earlier expectations and accruals, the Company recognized additional contract revenues of $86 and subcontractor cost of revenues of $147 were recognized, resulting in a decrease in loss from operations of $315 after eliminating the previous accrual.  


Year Ended December 31, 2007


Commodore Sales Solutions


In the second quarter of 2007 the Company acquired substantially all of the finished good inventory from one of Advanced Sciences main suppliers. The supplier provided materials regularly used by the Company’s environmental service personnel in the performance of their duties under environmental service contracts. The creation of Commodore Sales Solution (“CSS”) provided the Company with an additional source of revenue complementary to the Company’s current service offering, provided for a reliable supply of resources used by Applied Sciences on a regular basis, and reduced material costs on service contracts.


CSS gross margin for the period ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $33 thousand on sales of $607 thousand, a gross margin percentage of approximately 5.4%. Product sales and the related of cost of goods sold have been presented separately on the Statement of Operation.


Management believes there is potential for continued revenue growth for CSS given the large number of government contracts, governmental contractors and  subcontractors located in the Oak Ridge area that use products sold by Sales Solution on a regular basis. There is a cyclical nature to CSS revenues with sales more heavily weighted to the second and third quarters.  As the Company’s sales representative continues to build the sales pipeline management expects 2008 product revenues to exceed 2007 as a result of increased market penetration and a full-years operation results.   Total revenues for 2008 are expected to surpass $1 million.   


Commodore Solutions, Inc.


In the case of Solution, there were no revenues for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Should the Company be successful in securing contract revenues for its SET technology, Solution would reflect revenues once again.


Research and Development


For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not incur any research and development related costs.  



General and Administrative Expense


Consolidated general and administrative expense remained consistent from the prior year, expenses for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $1.5 million.   


In the case of Advanced Sciences, general and administrative costs increased to approximately $517 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2007 from approximately $394 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2006.  This increase reflects additional depreciation expense recognized during the year as a result of the American Aquatics asset purchase in January



18



2007. Advanced Sciences also experienced an increase corporate overhead related to bid and proposal work as well as increased expense related to CSS. Advanced Sciences had focused its sales and marketing efforts on the bid and proposal activities to achieve a higher contract base and to seek new contracting opportunities.  Solution did not incur any general and administrative costs related to bid and proposal activities for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.   Depreciation and amortization expense at Advanced Sciences increased by $56 thousand. Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $81 thousand compared with $25 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2006.  General and administrative expense related to CSS of approximately $22 thousand included advertising, postage and other expenses associated with initial start-up.


Interest expense


Interest expense increased to approximately $808 thousand in 2007 from approximately $659 thousand in 2006, an increase of 23%, due to increased borrowings by the Company under the Amended and Restated Shaar Note.  


OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS


There are no off-balance sheet arrangements, such as financing or variable interest entities, that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The Company currently requires additional cash to sustain existing operations and to meet current obligations and ongoing capital requirements.  The Company's current monthly operating expenses exceed cash revenues by approximately $80 thousand at December 31, 2007.  Currently, the Company is addressing this cash shortfall through loans from The Shaar Fund, Ltd., but The Shaar Fund, Ltd. is under no obligation to continue to make such advances to the Company.  If this lender decided to discontinue advances, the Company would not be able to meet its current obligations.  In addition, the Company owes approximately $564 thousand in loans that are currently due or are payable on demand as of December 31, 2007.  Although the lenders on these loans have not yet called the loans, the Company does not currently have the ability to pay these loans absent additional financing.


The Company has experienced a decrease in total assets for the year ended December 31, 2007. The majority of the decrease was attributable to a reduction in accounts receivable, net. Accounts receivable, net, for the period ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $391 thousand as compared to approximately $802 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The decrease in accounts receivable, net, is due to the decreases in revenue contribution by Advanced Sciences from the EDAM contract in Oak Ridge, TN.  


The reports of our independent registered public accounting firms on our fiscal 2006 and 2007 consolidated financial statements contain a “going concern” qualification in which they express substantial doubt about our ability to continue in business.   The Company currently requires additional cash to sustain existing operations and to meet current obligations and ongoing capital requirements.


For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $2.0 million compared to a net loss of approximately $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The increase in the net loss was attributable to an increase in interest and general and administrative expenses. The Company has also experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of approximately $1.3 million and $596 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006, respectively.  


As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $14.5 million and $12.1 million, respectively.  The Company’s net increase in stockholders’ deficit from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007 is primarily due to the loss for the year ended December 31, 2007.  At December 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company had working capital deficit of approximately $6.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively.  The increase in the working capital deficit from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007 also includes $418 thousand in accrued dividends to preferred stockholders.


Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  These reclassifications have no effect on net loss or total Stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Nature of Operations


Commodore Applied Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Applied" or the “Company”) is engaged in the destruction and neutralization of hazardous waste from other materials.  Through its subsidiary, Commodore Solutions, Inc. (“Solution”), Applied owns technologies related to the separation and destruction of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) and chlorofluorocarbons (“CFCs”).  Applied is currently working on the commercialization of these technologies through development efforts, licensing arrangements and permitting activities.  


Through Commodore Advanced Sciences, Inc. ("Advanced Sciences"), Applied has contracts with various government agencies and private companies in the United States and abroad performing environmental monitoring and engineering services. Advanced Sciences also distributes safety products and other materials used in connection with monitoring and engineering services through its operating division Commodore Sales Solution.  


Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Applied and its majority-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Applied considers cash and highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.


Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers


Applied maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  Applied has not experienced any losses in such accounts.


With respect to trade receivables, Applied generally does not require collateral as the majority of Applied's services are performed for the U.S. Government and prime contractors that serve the U.S. Government.  Applied believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables.  Sales to major customers which exceeded 10 percent of revenues are limited to one customer as follows, in thousands:


       2007

      2006

Customer A

$

 1,835

$

6,542


Customer A accounts for approximately 67.6% of the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2007.

Accounts receivable


Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.


A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 90 days, not counting retainage billed, which is due at the end of the particular phase of the master government contract.  At December 31, 2007 and 2006, retainage of approximately $12 thousand and $568 thousand were included in trade accounts receivable, respectively, all expected to be collected within one year. Interest is not charged on trade receivables.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:


Inventory


Inventories, consisting of finished goods purchased for resale, are valued at the lower of cost or market and are removed from inventory using the average-cost method.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Improvements which substantially increase the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  Upon retirement or disposal, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the Statement of Operations.  Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets; machinery & equipment over 3 to 7 years, furniture and fixtures over 3 to 7 years and computer equipment and software over 3 to 5 years.


Purchased Intangibles


Applied amortizes purchased intangibles on a straight-line basis over their contractual or economic lives.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


Applied reviews its long-lived assets, including property, equipment and intangibles with useful lives, for impairment annually or whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.  The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment.  The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the estimated cumulative undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset group is less than the carrying value.  In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair market value of the long-lived asset. Applied did not record any impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.


Revenue Recognition


Substantially all of Applied's revenues are generated by its subsidiary, Advanced Sciences.  Advanced Sciences’ revenues consist of engineering and scientific services and sales of scientific and safety products. Engineering and scientific services are  performed for the U.S. Government and prime contractors that serve the U.S. Government under a variety of contracts, most of which provide for unit prices. Revenue under unit price contracts is recorded when a contract or arrangement exists, the fees to be charged are fixed or determinable, the services have been provided, and collection of the billed amounts is reasonably assured.


Revenue on product sales is generally recognized when evidence of a customer arrangement exists, prices are fixed and determinable and product title, ownership and risk of loss transfers to the customer. Revenue for product sales also includes freight and handling charges. The Company’s standard shipping terms are FOB shipping point.


Income Taxes


Income taxes are recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," (“SFAS No. 109”) whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:


Income Taxes, Continued:


On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN No. 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In the course of our assessment, we have determined that we are subject to examination of our income tax filings in the United States and state jurisdictions for the 2003 through 2006 tax years. In the event that the Company is assessed penalties and or interest, penalties will be charged to other operating expense and interest will be charged to interest expense.


The Company adopted FIN No. 48 using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2007. There was no impact on the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 as a result of the adoption of FIN No. 48. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of FIN No. 48.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. Accounts receivable, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities and long term debt are financial instruments that are subject to material market variations from the recorded book value.  The fair value of these financial instruments approximates the recorded book value as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair-value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157.


On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.”  The Statement establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting principle. The adoption of this Statement had no material impact on the Company’s financial position or result of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Continued


On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” which amends SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 155 resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1 “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” and:

·

Permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation;

·

Clarifies which interest-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133;

·

Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation;

·

Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and

·

Amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.


The Company adopted SFAS No. 155 using the modified prospective transition method, which requires application of the standard as of January 1, 2007. There was no impact on the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 as a result of adoption of SFAS No. 155. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS No. 155.


On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.”  This Statement amended SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The adoption of this Statement had no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141 (R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company not yet determined the effect on our consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141 (R) or SFAS No. 160.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:


Stock-Based Compensation


Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised), “Share-Based Payment,” using the modified-prospective transition method.  Under this transition method, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for stock-based awards granted subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2005 in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, and the estimated expense for the portion vesting in the period for options granted prior to, but not vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123.


At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had a stock plan for key employees, non-employee directors and management consultants, described more fully in Note 11 “Share-Based Compensation.” Management’s adoption of SFAS 123R resulted in recognition of $0 of stock-based compensation expense in 2007 and 2006.


Reclassifications


Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net loss, total assets or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.  The reclassifications have no effect on net loss or total stockholders’ deficit as previously reported.


2.

Going Concern


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that Applied will continue as a going concern.  Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in the consolidated financial statements, Applied incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.  Applied also has a working capital deficit of approximately $6.8 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $83.1 million at December 31, 2007 and several of the Company’s notes payable are in default.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should Applied be unable to continue as a going concern.


Applied's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitability.  Potential sources of cash include new contracts, external debt, the sale of shares of Company stock or alternative methods such as mergers or sale transactions.  No assurances can be given, however, that Applied will be able to obtain any of these potential sources of cash.  Applied currently requires additional cash funding from outside sources to sustain existing operations and to meet current obligations and ongoing capital requirements.

Sale of Accounts Receivable


Advanced Sciences sells its accounts receivable under the Environmental Data Acquisition and Management (EDAM) contract to Wells Fargo Bank pursuant to the terms of a factoring agreement. The agreement allows Advanced Sciences to receive 90% of eligible receivables up to $2 million. According to the terms of the agreement receivables are sold with full recourse and the Company assumes all risk of collectability. Financing fees are paid monthly at prime plus 2.0 percent of receivables sold, aggregate of 9.25% at December 31, 2007. Financing fees paid for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $11 and $18 thousand, respectively under the agreement.

Contract Acquisition


In January 2007, Advance Sciences acquired net assets in the form of equipment and monitoring services contracts from American Aquatics Inc. in exchange $170 thousand in cash and short-term notes payable. The acquisition increased environmental monitoring revenues by $156 thousand, which are included in Services revenue in the consolidated statement of operations and segment information reported in Note 17. The purchase price resulted in additions to property and equipment of approximately $90 thousand and an intangible asset of approximately $79 thousand for the monitoring service contracts. The acquired intangible will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the monitoring service contracts, which extend through December 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2007 Applied recorded $26 thousand in amortization expense on the purchased intangible. Amortization expense and accumulated amortization will be $26 thousand and $52 thousand, respectively for 2008, and $27 thousand and $79 thousand, respectively for 2009.

Management estimates that our combined federal and state tax rates will be 36.3%. Applied conducts a periodic examination of its valuation allowance, factors considered in the evaluation include recent and expected future earnings and Applied's liquidity and equity positions.  As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, Applied has established a valuation allowance for the entire amount of net deferred tax assets, due to the Company’s belief that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.


Applied has net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards at December 31, 2007 of approximately $43.4 million which expire in years 2010 through 2027.  The NOL carryforwards are limited to use against future taxable income due to changes in ownership and control.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share


Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares determined for the basic computations plus the number of shares that would be issued assuming all contingently issuable shares having a dilutive effect on earnings per share were outstanding for the period.  Options and warrants to purchase 5,890,762 and 5,943,263 shares of common stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Additionally, exercise of a convertible note, interest, Series H and Series J Preferred and dividends would result in issuance of 172,596,534 shares of common stock, subject to provisions that limit the total of these conversions to less than 5% beneficial ownership by the holder.  Shares issuable upon exercise of options, warrants and convertible debt and instruments were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive as the Company has experienced net losses.

15. Commitments and Contingencies


DCAA Audit


Contracts of the Company may be subjected to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). Anticipated losses on contracts are provided for by a charge to income during the period such losses are first identified. During 2007, the Company completed a DCAA audit of a single contract of the Company for the period January 1995 through December 1999. The DCAA had asserted that the Company incorrectly overbilled the Government for services rendered under contracts performed during said period. The Company had previously recorded a liability totaling $376 thousand as a reserve to settle any claims or expense that may be incurred as a result of the audit process. The amount recorded was estimated based on an assessment of potential liability using an analysis of available information with respect to pending claims, historical experience and, where available, recent and current trends. During the fourth quarter the DCAA completed their audit and a settlement was reached. The Company recognized additional contract revenues of $86 and subcontractor cost of revenue of $147 were recognized, resulting in a decrease in the loss from operations of $315.  


Guarantee


Applied, along with several other entities in a prior year, guaranteed a performance bond of Commodore Separation Technologies, Inc. relating to a contract with the Port of Baltimore.  Applied was notified on June 28, 2000, that the performance bond was being called.  It is not known at this time the amount, if any, Applied’s share will be.  No liability has been reflected in the financial statements as of December 31, 2007 or 2006 related to this bond, as the Company feels an adverse determination is not probable, and the amount of loss is not determinable.

401(K) Savings Plan


Applied has adopted a 401(K) savings plan for all employees who qualify as to age and service.  Contributions by Applied are discretionary.  Applied made discretionary contributions of approximately $0 and $14 thousand to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Segment Information


Using the guidelines set forth in SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," Applied has identified two reportable segments as follows:


1.

Advanced Sciences, which primarily provides various engineering, legal, sampling and public relations services to government agencies on a cost plus basis.


2.

Solution which has equipment to treat mixed and hazardous waste through a patented process using sodium and anhydrous ammonia.


Common overhead costs are allocated between segments based on a record of time spent by executives.  Applied evaluates segment performance based on the segment's net income (loss).  The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.  Summarized financial information concerning Applied's reportable segments is shown in the following tables.

Other than as described below, the Company has no knowledge of any other arrangements, including any pledge by any person of its securities, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

·

The Shaar Fund holds a convertible note, together with accrued interest thereon, and convertible Series J Preferred stock, together with accrued dividends on the Series I and J Preferred stock.  The payment of accrued interest and dividends may be made in cash or common stock.  The conversion of the note and the Series J Preferred stock, and the payment of interest and dividends in the form of common stock are subject to limitation, such that no conversion or payment in the form of stock can be exercised or made that would result in the holder owning 5% or more beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock.  Should this limitation be removed, as much as an additional 186 million shares of the Company’s common stock could be issued, which would result in a change in control of the Company.

We are not, to the best of our knowledge, directly or indirectly owned or controlled by another corporation or foreign government.

Fees for audit services include fees associated with the annual audit, the reviews of our quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.  Audit-related fees consist of fees related to the edgarization and filing of SEC forms.


Tax fees include tax compliance and tax consultations.


The board of directors has adopted a policy that requires advance approval of all audit, audit-related, tax services, and other services performed by our independent registered public accountants. The policy provides for pre-approval by the board of directors of specifically defined audit and non-audit services. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the board of directors must approve the permitted service before the independent registered public accountants are engaged to perform it.


Principal Accountant Independence


The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of all non-audit services performed by the principal accountants were compatible with maintaining their independence.
