TERRA SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by Terra
Systems, Inc., and its subsidiaries (collectively the Company), and are
unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all necessary adjustments for fair presentation, consisting
of normal recurring adjustments except as disclosed herein.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been
condensed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission; therefore, certain information and disclosures generally included in
financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements
should be read in connection with the Company's annual financial statements
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB as of December 31, 2007.
The financial position and results of operations of the interim periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2008.
NOTE 2 - BUSINESS CONDITION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three-month period
ended March 31, 2008, the Company incurred net loss of $556,583. As of March 31,
2008, the Company's losses accumulated from inception totaled $24,579,906. These
factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a
going concern for a reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that
might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's ability to continue 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 successful operations.
The Company is in the process of negotiating various agreements to
perform research on and the development of pneumatic conveyance systems to
handle materials in a bulk state in industrial research and processing.
Management also intends to use capital and debt financing as needed to
supplement the cash flows that potentially could be generated through the
successful negotiation of agreements. In addition, the Company is in the process
of demonstrating "clean coke" technology that it has licensed and developing
production scale projects based on that technology.
NOTE 3 - LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during
the period. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if all contracts to issue common stock were converted into common stock
except for those that are anti-dilutive.
For the three months ending March 31, 2008, the Company had 12,500,000
stock options and 6,294,014 of warrants that were not included in the
computation of diluted net loss per common share as their effect would have been
anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.
For the three months ending March 31, 2007, the Company had 4,000,000
stock options and 812,867 warrants that that were not included in the
computation of diluted net loss per common share as their effect would have been
anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.
NOTE 4 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company had no stock option grants during the three months ended
March 31, 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company
calculated compensation expense of $387,271 and $76,501 respectively, related to
stock options.
A summary of stock option activity for the three months ended March 31,
2008, is presented below:

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements about our
business, financial condition, and prospects that reflect our assumptions and
beliefs based on information currently available. We can give no assurance that
the expectations indicated by these forward-looking statements will be realized.
If any of our assumptions should prove incorrect, or if any of the risks and
uncertainties underlying those expectations should materialize, our actual
results may differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking
statements.

direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, acceptance
of our products or services, our ability to expand our customer base, our
ability to raise capital in the future, the retention of key employees, and
changes in the regulation of our industry.
There may be other risks and circumstances that we are unable to
predict. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words "believes," "expects,"
"intends," "plans," "anticipates," "estimates" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements, although there may be some
forward-looking statements not accompanied by these expressions. Additionally,
statements concerning our projections, projected business strategies, projected
revenues or performance, or future results may also constitute forward-looking
statements. All forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the
safe harbor created by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We
disclaim any obligation or intention to update any forward-looking statements.
General
Terra Systems was incorporated in Utah on February 17, 1996, and is a
development-stage company. We are pursuing three primary businesses. The first
of these is the development and commercialization of our patented pneumatic
accelerator. This device is a gas linear particle accelerator that conveys and
processes bulk materials at high velocity in a particle isolate state, using air
as the medium of movement. The traditional and more costly medium for processing
bulk materials is water. Our technology operates efficiently at ambient
temperatures and at low pressures and does not use water. We believe that most
if not all-organic and inorganic bulk materials used in basic industries (such
as coal, gypsum, black sands, corn, rice, and wheat) can be more economically
separated and classified by our dry-process technology. This capability
facilitates a number of associated procedures, including: drying,
micropulverizing, mixing, forming, conveying, and loading. In addition, bulk
materials can be beneficiated in important ways including moisture reduction,
ash reduction, and electro-customization. Our system can perform multiple tasks,
needs less maintenance, requires no chemical additives, and can improve the
surrounding environmental quality.
The second business we are pursuing is clean coke technology. We have
obtained the worldwide license to Combustion Resources LLC's ("Combustion
Resources") clean coke technology. We believe that the carbon coke product
produced by this process qualifies for tax credits under IRC Section 45K. The
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the "Energy Act") Section 1321 extended the date that
facilities placed in service will qualify for this tax credit. We worked with
the College of Eastern Utah to apply for and obtain an award of a Federal Center
of Excellence grant under Section 404 of the Energy Act. This award will be used
to further our development of this technology.
The third business we are pursuing is the agglomeration of carbon
products. The material agglomerated may or may not be previously processed
8
utilizing our patented pneumatic accelerator technology. Initially, we are
agglomerating carbon black, a very fine-sized material that poses significant
material handling issues in its unagglomerated state.
Our success and ability to compete will be dependent in part on the
protection of our existing and potential patents, trademarks, trade names,
service marks, trade secrets, and other proprietary rights. Thus, a majority of
our research and development efforts have been focused on product development,
testing, and patent application.
We seek to continue developing our products internally through research
and development, or if appropriate, through strategic partnerships. We expect,
however, that if we can purchase or license products, services, or technologies
from third parties at a reasonable cost, we will do so in order to avoid the
time and expense involved in developing these products, services, or
technologies.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended March 31,
2007:
From inception through March 31, 2008, we have incurred losses totaling
$24,579,906 and generated revenues of $768,136 from operations. During the three
months ended March 31, 2008, we had no sales revenues. This factor, among
others, raises substantial doubt concerning our ability to continue as a going
concern. We intend to use capital and debt financing as needed to supplement the
cash flows that we expect will be provided by licensing agreements. Our primary
source of capital historically has been through the sale of our securities.
Realization of sales of our products and services is vital to
operations. We may not be able to continue as a going concern without generating
and realizing additional sales or raising additional capital. We cannot
guarantee that we will be able to compete successfully or that the competitive
pressures we may face will not have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, a superior
competitive product could force us out of business.
While we have been able to generate some testing and product
development revenues since inception, we have been limited in the scope of
potential clients that could be contacted until our patent application was
approved. In January 2001, we received notification that we had been awarded a
patent on our Pneumatic Accelerator. Since then we have been pursuing project
development contracts and refining our design of the Pneumatic Accelerator. We
have relocated our single Pneumatic Accelerator System to the Hiawatha coal
recovery project site, located in Carbon county, Utah, and expect to begin
operations thereof in the second quarter of 2008.
In addition, we were able to license the "Clean Coke Technology" of
Combustion Resources LLC ("Combustion Resources"). The license agreement
requires that the Company begin paying a $300,000 per year minimum royalty
beginning in the year 2010. The royalty is set as a fixed percentage of the net
operating profit realized from the licensed Clean Coke Technology, subject to a
cap of $3 million in any one year. The Company believes that the Clean Coke
Technology can be utilized to produce coke that qualify under IRC Section 45K
for the tax credit from alternative fuels, provided a plant utilizing the Clean
Coke Technology is built and placed in service by December 31, 2009. The Section
45K credit is subject to reduction as the Federal reference price of oil
increases.
Combustion Resources, the College of Eastern Utah's Western Energy
Training Center, and the Company were successful in obtaining a Federal Center
of Excellence grant to develop the process controls for the system at its pilot
plant (see below) in Price, Utah.
Also during the prior year, we were contracted by Combustion Resources,
and worked with them to build and operate a pilot briquetting plant in Price,
Utah. The pilot plant has a theoretical capacity of 2 tons per hour. The plant
has been used to agglomerate carbon black. Carbon black is a very fine-sized
material that is difficult to handle in its unagglomerated state. The plant has
9
produced 162 tons of agglomerated carbon black to-date, all of which has been
shipped to a major industrial customer for testing at its production plant. The
Company's revenue for the prior year was generated from this activity. Until the
results of the test are known, the pilot plant will be utilized to develop the
Clean Coke Technology process controls mentioned above. We have recently
completed several modifications that were necessary to enable us to utilize the
plant for the production of clean coke. The most substantial of these
modifications was the addition of a calcining oven. Which is used in the process
to produce Clean Coke. We expect that the modified pilot plant will begin to run
Clean Coke material near the end of the second quarter or the beginning of the
third quarter. We anticipate that the modified plant will run Clean Coke
material that will be used by various parties for testing in their production
scale facilities.
Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was $556,583,
compared to a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007, of $1,042,301.
Our expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008, were $556,583 of which
approximately 92% were general and administrative. Our expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2007, were $1,058,511 of which approximately 97% were
general and administrative. For the three months ended March 31, 2008,
depreciation and amortization expense was $2,133 compared to depreciation and
amortization expense of $2,133 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Since inception, we have realized minimal revenues while incurring
normal fixed overhead and debt service costs. This operating trend is projected
to continue for at least the remaining period of fiscal 2008.
Future Business
We see opportunities for our technology and business in an array of
large industries, including power generation, agriculture, mining,
environmental, construction, ceramics, and materials transportation. We
anticipate that we will generate revenues through the sale of our proprietary
equipment, products, fees, royalties, and profit sharing from licensing of our
technology.
Besides the three primary businesses noted above, the Company is also
pursuing potential energy projects through its subsidiary Mountain Island
Energy, LLC, and its joint venture with United Fund Advisors, LLC, in Soda
Springs, Idaho. Wind resource data is being collected at this site as part of
the process of determining the feasibility of an approximate ten megawatt wind
energy project.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Given our current negative cash flows, it will be difficult for Terra
Systems to continue as a going concern. While the issuance of a patent for our
Pneumatic Accelerator Sysyem and the licensing of the Clean Coke technology
should allow us to more aggressively pursue revenue, and cash generating
contracts and opportunities, it will be necessary to raise additional funds or
reduce cash expenditures. Funds could be generated through the issuance of
additional stock or through the sale of existing plant and office equipment.
Cash expenditures could be eased through a reduction in overhead costs,
including but not limited to labor and associated employee benefits.
As mentioned in our audited financial statements included with our
annual report on Form 10-KSB, for the year ended December 31, 2007, our audited
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we
will continue as a going concern. Our product line is limited and it has been
necessary to rely upon financing from the sale of our equity securities to
sustain operations. Additional financing will be required if we are to continue
as a going concern. If additional financing cannot be obtained, we may be
required to scale back or discontinue operations. Even if additional financing
is available there can be no assurance that it will be on terms favorable to us.
In any event, this additional financing will result in immediate and possible
substantial dilution to existing shareholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") Rules
13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act,
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified by the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed
with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and
communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's chief
executive officer and a consultant performing services for the Company commonly
performed by a chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this
report, the Company's chief executive officer and a consultant performing
services for the Company commonly performed by a chief financial officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective to ensure that information required to be included in the Company's
periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the
time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
The Company was advised by Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C., the
Company's independent registered public accounting firm, that during their
performance of audit procedures for fiscal year 2007, Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell,
P.C. identified a material weakness as defined by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board.
This deficiency consisted primarily of inadequate staffing and
supervision that led to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting
and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews.
However, the size of the Company prevents it from being able to employ
sufficient resources to enable the Company to have adequate segregation of
duties within its internal control system. Management is required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
In order to address the deficiency of inadequate staffing and
supervision, management has implemented tighter cash flow controls and has
set-up a centralized computer system to maintain the accounting records.
Management will continue to monitor and review these remediation efforts.
Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the consultant
performing services for the Company commonly performed by a chief financial
officer regarding, among other items, disclosure controls and procedures are
included immediately after the signature section of this Form 10-Q.
