MyCelx is a registered trademark of MyCelx Technologies. MYCELX – helping solve the Oil and Gas industry’s toughest problems MyCelx is a revolutionary oil-free water technology company solving the world’s toughest oil removal problems in the oil and gas industry. Our systems are based upon scientific breakthrough for a completely different approach to permanent oil removal. MyCelx created the patented MyCelx polymer using innovative molecular cohesion for removing oil from water far beyond what conventional systems have ever achieved. MyCelx systems remove oil to critically low levels in a much smaller physical footprint than conventional systems and in a virtually fail-safe process. MyCelx can achieve oil removal to less than 1 ppm (part per million) or to the discharge level desired by the end user. MyCelx is molecular cohesion, not just filtration. It’s true oil-free water technology. Three to eight times more water than oil is produced during oil and gas production. Reuse of water, especially in water stressed regions, is part of the industry’s water management and business calculations every day. MyCelx is taking oil-free water treatment to new levels, setting the standard with proven technology. MyCelx solutions are fast, efficient, cost-effective and operator-friendly. The oil and gas industry is embracing MyCelx technology and momentum is building. Providing the technology to sustainably reuse water or safely discharge it to the environment is the mission of MyCelx.

During the year the Company leveraged its track record of success with existing customers to secure additional projects with counterparts in other regions of the world as well as contracting projects with new customers. Investment has been made in staff, infrastructure and production capabilities to support the growing business. The Company built momentum in 2012, achieving strong revenue growth of 97%. Operational Review During the year, the Company was active across all regions particularly in the Middle East. MyCelx received its first contract extension of the large equipment leasing program for downstream service in Saudi Arabia. This lease project served as a catalyst for an additional equipment lease for downstream use in the same petrochemical complex, evidencing the success of the new “fast to market” lease strategy. The Company also undertook its first project in the UAE, integrating a MyCelx system into key production processes. The Company invested in four MyCelx systems in order to accelerate expansion in the region by addressing demand for emergency and short lead time water treatment equipment for quick deployment. All four systems were delivered to a new customer in the Middle East and were successfully commissioned later in the year. A further three systems are in fabrication, two of which are under contract and all three are expected to be deployed in the second half of 2013. The Company’s presence in the Middle East was further strengthened through the addition of an office and distribution center as well as additional professionals to accelerate project growth and lease program expansion. Elsewhere the Company also received its first contract in India for delivery of two effluent treatment systems to Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, India’s state-owned oil and gas company, for installation late Q2 2013. The Company has also seen an increase in its new business pipeline due to successful trials in Australia, the US Rocky Mountain region, Alberta, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. All of these projects have moved to the final engineering and design stage and are expected to contribute revenues during 2013. The Company also installed two water treatment systems at a major US-based fuel oil storage terminal, which led to another contract from a major US-based pipeline and terminal operating company. On these projects the Company has made significant advances in building in automated proportional flow controls to its water treatment solutions, enabling its customers to target a specific level of oil-in-water effluent concentration irrespective of influent conditions. Both projects have further established the Company’s presence in the downstream market in the U.S. and Houston in particular. The Company established an office and technology demonstration center in Houston and staff have been recruited to expedite project flow in the Gulf of Mexico and South America as well as to meet the demands of the global Engineering, Procurement and Construction companies located in Houston. Additionally, the Company expanded its London office with a new Business Development Officer focusing on Europe and Asia. Financial The Company continued to record a strong financial performance, with total revenues increasing by 96.5% to $12.30 million for 2012, compared to $6.26 million for 2011. Revenues continued to increase both as a result of new customer wins and increased penetration into some of the Company’s largest customers. Revenues from equipment sales and leases increased by 35.8% to $3.11 million for 2012 (2011: $2.29 million), while recurring revenues from consumable filtration media and service increased 02 Business & Financial ReviewMyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 2012Chairman’s & Chief Executive Officer’s Statement m 3 . 2 1 $ 2 1 0 2 0 1 0 2 1 1 0 2 +97% Revenue $12.3 million (2011: $6.26 million) m 6 5 . 6 $ 2 1 0 2 0 1 0 2 1 1 0 2 +123% Gross profit $6.56 million (2011: $2.94 million) Mark Clark (Chief Financial Officer); Hal Alper (Chief Science Officer); Swinton Griffith (Non-Executive Director); and Brian Rochester (Non-Executive Director) as Directors of the Company.

On behalf of the Board, we would like to express our gratitude for their contributions to the Company through the IPO and during its subsequent development. Summary and Outlook We are extremely pleased with the progress the Company made in 2012. The Company experienced the benefit of recurring consumable media sales as a result of installations in late 2011 and achieved strong revenue growth with new sales and leases secured throughout the year. The market for clean water systems is very robust as the oil and gas sector continues to seek methods and proven technology to better manage the water associated with their production and process activities to meet internal and external goals. The Board expects the Company to meet expectations and looks forward to the future with enthusiasm and confidence. by 131.2% to $9.18 million (2011: $3.97 million). Gross profit increased by 123.1% to $6.56 million in 2012, compared to $2.94 million in 2011. Gross profit margins increased in 2012 to 53.3% from 46.9% for the previous year, due to a revised pricing structure and continuous efforts to reduce third party vendor costs for both raw materials and services. Total operating expenses for 2012 were $8.15 million. The largest component of operating expenses was Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses, which includes $4.22 million of salaries and travel. Additionally, operating expenses include non-cash stock based compensation of $852,000 and $870,000 for Research and Development. The Company recorded a loss before tax of $1.60 million in 2012, compared to a loss before tax of $2.85 million in 2011. Basic loss per share was 15 cents, compared to basic loss per share of 30 cents for the previous year. The Company’s revenue momentum resulting from investing in sales and engineering personnel as well as strategic sales and support locations is expected to carry the Company to profitability for the full year 2013. Corporate In January 2012, the Company appointed Swinton Griffith as a Non-Executive Director and as Chairman of the Audit Committee and member of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Griffith had a 28 year career as a Certified Public Accountant and Partner at Ernst & Young. David Pattillo stepped down from his position as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in May 2012.

In water stressed regions of the world, the ability to reuse water in petrochemical or refining operations is a necessity. Secondly, deep water production technology has enabled the volume of oil and gas produced per well on a daily basis to significantly increase but with water streams that are more difficult to treat with conventional technologies. Lastly, increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the desire of the industry to reduce its environmental impact is also an important opportunity. MyCelx technology addresses these key challenges that currently exist. The MyCelx advantage is the capability to treat difficult streams at high flow rates to low level oil- in-water content for reuse or discharge. MyCelx has proven success with global operators managing these water treatment challenges and expects further success in the future. Where the industry is now – the need for water treatment The oil and gas industry is by necessity in the water management business through the need to deal with naturally occurring water in upstream production or water needed for downstream refining processes, or the need to safely discharge water to the environment. The ability to sustainably manage the enormous volume of water from these activities is crucial to their operational performance and bottom line. Our solutions MyCelx provides novel water treatment solutions that are proven to be highly efficient and cost effective and have been installed successfully at the facilities of leading industry operators around the globe. The acceptance of the MyCelx solutions, as evidenced by MyCelx’s 97% year-over-year revenue growth, illustrates the Company’s success and momentum in an industry that is extremely thorough in evaluating and implementing changes to established practice. MyCelx provides robust technology and systems that give the industry sustainable solutions to meet pressing water management challenges. The core of the MyCelx solutions is the patented MyCelx compound which consists of a chemical polymer that is permanently infused in the consumable media. It is deployed in custom-designed equipment systems and produces treatment results which have been embraced as leading-edge by oil and gas, petrochemical and refining industry customers around the world. 04 Business & Financial ReviewMyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 2012How we do it Water reuse is critical in the Middle East and India where water scarcity is an area of national and industry focus Our Business Model The Company’s business model is based on recurring revenue. The Company sells or leases MyCelx equipment supplied by the Company with the subsequent recurring revenue from sales of MyCelx patented consumable filtration media. The Company continues to sell consumable filtration media on a long-term, recurring basis. The media must be replaced at regular intervals based on a projected change-out schedule or earlier if operational upset conditions occur (such as an increase in hydrocarbon discharge) so that the MyCelx media is consumed faster. The Company also offers technical services on a recurring basis to end users that require it. Our Strategy Our strategy aligns with global trends in the oil and gas industry and with specific water treatment needs that the proprietary MyCelx technology addresses better than other existing water treatment equipment. The efficacy of the MyCelx technology is most apparent in applications in water scarce regions where water reuse or safe discharge is tied to internal initiatives of water guardianship and operational cost savings, applications where a low level oil- in-water discharge is necessary for uninterrupted operations and in support of customer’s goals to meet or exceed environmental regulations. Water reuse is critical in the Middle East and India where water scarcity is an area of national and industry focus. Water used in processes is expensive and consequently adds to operational costs and there are ongoing initiatives to reuse water to conserve it for other uses. The Company will continue to allocate resources to fund growth in the Middle East and India where success in the petrochemical sector has provided a major source of revenue for the Company in 2012. The Company intends to leverage the success in this sector to garner projects within the petrochemical and refining complex, as well as begin to implement the process in other geographic regions. The Company believes it is providing solutions that have the possibility for broad implementation. There are numerous opportunities in upstream water treatment and industrial water streams associated with the oil and gas industry; these include offshore deep water oil and gas production, unmanned, close-to-shore platforms, onshore oil and gas production, discharge water in the terminal and pipeline sector, and storm water run-off. The Company has an installed base for these applications which reach around the world. The technology has proven successful in the expansive produced water treatment market which resulted in multiple installations with a major exploration and production company. Middle East strategy The Company has remained committed to its successful strategy of focus on specific water- stressed geographic regions and applications where there is need for removal of oil to critically low levels. Implementation of the technology in water- stressed regions such as the Middle East has been an important proving ground for MyCelx technology in process water reuse since this initiative is a major priority of the region and the petrochemical industry. MyCelx supports the end users’ initiatives which improve the environment, conserve the scarce resource for other uses, and reduce the cost associated with the purchase of water for operations. The Company installed its first system in Saudi Arabia in 2008 and has since installed two more systems in two other plants and has a contract to install a second system in another location in an existing customer’s plant in 2013. The importance of the continued progress with successful installations is the acceptance and momentum the Company is experiencing with the end users. The Company considers the water reuse applications in the Middle East to be high-value; the benefit to the end user is high value in terms of environmental improvement as well as operational cost savings. The Company believes integrating MyCelx water treatment systems into the plant process and operation has the potential for much broader implementation because very similar water treatment issues exist in the petrochemical sector worldwide. 05 MyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 2012How we do it continued The success of the strategy in the Middle East has been duplicated in India In order to support the operations in the Middle East, a technical service office and distribution center was established in Saudi Arabia in 2012 to provide ongoing services requested by the end users. Additionally, management made the decision in late 2011 to fabricate four equipment skids that could be sold or leased in the Middle East in an effort to shorten the sales cycle through operational leases. All of the skids were installed and leased in 2012 in the petrochemical plants resulting in healthy revenue gains in equipment lease and recurring media and service revenues that will continue in 2013 and beyond. The region contributed $6.8 million of MyCelx’s total revenue for the year and the expectation is for continued growth by leveraging the “fast-to-market” lease program that has worked so well in the region. Additionally, the Company is planning to offer emergency response units that can be leased on a short term basis to address unexpected oily waste water problems. MyCelx technology is uniquely positioned to provide this service with small, efficient treatment skids that are easily trailer mounted. The success of the strategy in the Middle East has been duplicated in India, another water-stressed region, where the Company will install two systems for use in the refining sector in the second quarter of 2013. The Company expects to leverage the momentum in the Middle East, expand the existing business in other Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”) countries, as well as other regions that face the same water scarcity issues. This will be achieved through reference sites and end users, personnel who have been hired to focus on the regional strategy, and capital dedicated to support the equipment lease and emergency response programs. Targeted application strategy The Company has identified specific applications in other sectors of the oil and gas industry where the ability to safely and reliably discharge water to the environment provides the end user with attractive operational benefits. Uninterrupted operations, fail-safe discharge that meets or exceeds environmental regulations, reduced maintenance down time and less waste generation, all of which are provided cost effectively by MyCelx systems. The Company installed two systems in 2012 to treat water in the terminal and pipeline sector to achieve reliable discharge to surface water. During 2012, a second project, to be installed in 2013, was sold to another pipeline company located nearby for similar application. The Company believes the terminal and pipeline sector fits well into its targeted application strategy because so many terminals are located near or on regulated bodies of water and rely on effective water treatment to operate efficiently. MyCelx began projects in upstream onshore and offshore oil and gas production in 2007. The Company has installations in the Gulf of Mexico, one of which is Chevron’s new Jack/St. Malo platform which will be installed late in 2013, as well as the US Rocky Mountain region. The Company is installing on a platform offshore of Australia in the second half of 2013, and has run successful trials in upstream production in Alberta, Qatar, and Australia. We anticipate more trials in 2013 as a result of the opening of our Houston sales, engineering and demonstration center, which is in close proximity to global oil and gas production companies and global engineering, procurement and construction companies. This center has already proven to be important to our strategy as we have made progress with contacts in South America where the Company expects to make sales in the near future. Our targeted application strategy aims to avoid colliding with other water treatment companies over applications that can be served with lower level technology. With superior applications engineering capability, the Company identifies high value, under-served applications where the MyCelx technology provides the most cost effective and robust solutions. The oil and gas industry, well known as careful adopters of technology, are open to systems that improve operations, assist in achieving internal environmental goals and initiatives, and reduce cost. 06 Business & Financial ReviewMyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 2012Principal Risks and Uncertainties The Company continues to face and address a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which are as follows: • Should the Company require additional funds in order to carry out its strategy, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms or at all. The Company is managing its funds with the goal of eliminating the need for additional funding in the near future. • The contribution of the existing executive Directors, senior management team members and certain key employees to the immediate and near-term operations of the Company is likely to be of central importance to the Company’s future success and growth. The Company continuously monitors and reviews compensation and benefits offered to its employees. The Company desires to have competitive remuneration and benefit plans in place to reward and retain key individuals. • The future success of the Company will depend on its ability to enhance its existing products and services, address the increasingly sophisticated and diverse needs of its customers and respond to technological advances and emerging industry and regulatory standards and practices on a cost effective and timely basis. The Company seeks and acts upon feedback from its customers and potential customers through various means including professional societies, industry conferences, trade shows and direct queries. The Company is continuously developing intellectual property to commercialise new products. • The Company relies on certain key manufacturers for the fabrication of MyCelx equipment in accordance with the specifications of the Company’s customers. To attempt to manage this risk, the Company has expanded the number of manufacturers it uses that are capable of conducting manufacture on similar terms. However, any disruption in the Company’s relationship with a manufacturer could affect pending orders placed with that manufacturer and result in transition costs and delays. • The Company operates in a competitive market and it can be expected that the competition will continue and/or increase in the future both from established competitors and from new entrants to the market. The Company’s competitors include companies with greater financial, technical and other resources than the Company. The Company is pursuing a growth strategy to continuously increase its financial and technical resources. • Historically, the oil and gas industry has been subject to “boom-and-bust” cycles. Recession- induced downturns can affect the development of various oil and gas projects, particularly high- cost projects such as those relating to oil sands, deepwater offshore and liquefied natural gas. High-cost oil projects like deepwater offshore and oil sands typically depend on high oil prices. The market price of oil is affected by numerous factors which are beyond the Company’s control. Should oil prices fall and remain low for a prolonged period for any reason including, for example, a lasting economic disruption in China, high cost oil projects may be scaled down, deferred or cancelled. Although the Company is focused on the oil and gas industry, it does sell into other industry sectors and is continuously developing intellectual property to commercialise new products. • Historically, oil supply is subject to periodic disruption due to political unrest or insurrection, sabotage or terrorism, nationalist policies, accident or embargo. These events generally prove to be transient; however they can cause material reductions in production and are often difficult or impossible to predict. A disruption in oil supply can cause significant fluctuations in oil prices which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Although the Company is focused on the oil and gas industry, it does sell into other industry sectors and is continuously developing intellectual property to commercialise new products. 07 MyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 2012Board of Directors Tim Eggar 1 Non-Executive Chairman Mr. Eggar joined MyCelx as Non-Executive Chairman in June 2011.

An evaluation of the Board and its performance was carried out internally in 2012. The evaluation took the form of interviews conducted by the Chairman with each Director, and questionnaires which also provided each Director with an opportunity to comment on Board and Committee procedures. The results were presented to the Board in January 2013. A performance evaluation of the Chairman was carried out by the Non-Executive Directors in conjunction with the CEO. The Nomination and Governance Committee met twice in 2012. 10 Corporate GovernanceMyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 2012• A system of financial reporting, forecasting and budgeting.

Company management accounts are prepared monthly and submitted to the Board for review. Variances from budget and prior year are monitored and the reasons for significant variances are reviewed. • An ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and seeking to manage significant risks across the Company.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MyCelx Technologies Corporation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Nature of business and basis of presentation Basis of presentation – These financial statements have been prepared using recognition and measurement principles of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Nature of business – MyCelx Technologies Corporation (“MyCelx” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Georgia on March 24, 1994. The Company provides clean water technology equipment and related services to the oil and gas, power, marine and heavy manufacturing sectors. 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. Cash and cash equivalents Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash within ninety (90) days of purchase. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at a financial institution in Gainesville, Georgia. At 31 December 2012 all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances were held in non interest-bearing transaction accounts and were fully insured. Trade accounts receivable – Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to its customers and performs ongoing credit evaluations of those customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts, as necessary. Accounts are considered past due based on the contractual terms of the transaction. Credit losses, when realised, have been within the range of the Company’s expectations and, historically, have not been significant. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011. that is in the process of being constructed is also included in inventory (work-in-progress). We apply the FIFO method (first in; first out) to account for inventory. Manufacturing work-in-progess and finished products inventory includes all direct costs, such as labor and material, and those indirect costs which are related to production, such as indirect labor, rents, supplies, repairs and depreciation costs. A valuation reserve is recorded for slow moving or obsolete inventory items. The reserve is determined by item based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand. At 31 December 2012 and 2011, the valuation reserve was $12,000 and $0, respectively. Prepaid expenses and other current assets – Prepaid expenses and other current assets include non-trade receivables that are collectible in less than 12 months, security deposits on leased space and various prepaid amounts that will be charged to expenses within 12 months. Non-trade receivables that are collectible in 12 months or more are included in long-term assets. Property and equipment – All property and equipment are valued at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting over the following useful lives: Office equipment Leasehold improvements Manufacturing equipment 5–10 years 1–5 years 7–15 years Research and development equipment 7–10 years Purchased software Equipment leased to customers 1–5 years 5–10 years Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalised. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible assets – Intangible assets are comprised of patents. Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Inventories – Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and filter media finished goods as well as equipment to house the filter media and are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Equipment Revenue recognition – The Company’s revenue consists of media product and equipment sales. Revenues from media sales are recognised, net of sales allowances, when products are shipped 24 Financial StatementsMyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 2012and risk of loss has transferred to customers, collection is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. The Company offers customers the option to lease or purchase their equipment. Lease agreements range from one to twelve months in length and are renewed at the end of each agreement, if necessary. The lease agreements meet the criteria for classification as operating leases; accordingly, revenue on lease agreements is recognised as income over the lease term. Revenues on long-term contracts related to construction of equipment are recognised on the percentage-of-completion basis using costs incurred compared to total estimated costs. Costs are recognised and considered for percentage completion as they are incurred in the manufacture of the equipment. Therefore, revenues may not be related to the progress billings to customers. Revenues are based on estimates, and the uncertainty inherent in estimates initially is reduced progressively as work on the contract nears completion. Revenues on short-term contracts (six months or less) are recognised on the completed contract method. A contract is considered complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred and delivery of equipment has ocurred. Contract costs include all direct labor and benefits, materials unique to or installed to the project, subcontractor costs, as well as costs relative to contract performance such as travel to a customer site and shipping charges. Provision for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts is made in the period in which such losses are determined. No such provisions have been recognised as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognised in the period in which the revisions are determined. Actual results could vary from estimates used in the financial statements. Unbilled accounts receivable represents revenues recognised in excess of amounts billed. Deferred revenue represents billings in excess of revenues recognised. Contract retentions are recorded as a component of accounts receivable. Impairment of long-lived assets – The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Long-lived assets to be held and used, including property and equipment and intangible assets with definite useful lives, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss, if any, is recognised for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets. Impairment analyses, when performed, are based on the Company’s business and technology strategy, management’s views of growth rates for the Company’s business, anticipated future economic and regulatory conditions, and expected technological availability. For purposes of recognition and measurement, the Company groups its long-lived assets at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows, which are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. No impairment charges were recorded in the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011. Shipping and handling costs – Consistent with FASB ASC 605-45-50 Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, the Company classifies shipping and handling amounts billed to customers as revenue, and shipping and handling costs as a component of costs of goods sold. Research and development costs – Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 was approximately $870,000 and $507,000, respectively. Advertising costs – The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 was approximately $11,000 and $35,000, respectively. Rent expense – The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis for operating lease agreements that contain escalating rent clauses. The deferred rent liability included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet represents the cumulative difference between rent expense recognised on the straight- line basis and the actual rent paid. 25 MyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 20122. Summary of significant accounting policies continued Income Taxes – Income taxes consist of taxes due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of depreciation, inventory capitalisation, and net operating losses, and timing differences of research and development tax credits for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognised for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future federal income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realised or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. The Company has elected to use the reduced credit method, under section 280C, for calculating federal research and development tax credits. Under this method research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company recognises interest accrued related to tax in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 the Company recognised no interest or penalties. The Company’s tax years 2009 through 2012 remain subject to examination by federal, state and foreign income tax jurisdictions. Earnings per share – Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon conversion of the exercise of common stock options and warrants. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. Fair value of financial instruments – The Company uses the framework in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to determine the fair value of its financial assets. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritises the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value as of 31 December 2012 and 2011 include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, the line of credit, and the note payable. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate fair value due to the short term nature of those assets and liabilities. Foreign Currency Transactions – From time to time the Company transacts business in foreign currencies (currencies other than the United States Dollar). These transactions are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Share-Based Compensation – The Company issues equity-settled share-based awards to certain employees, which are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed, based on the company’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Fair value for the share awards representing equity interests identical to those associated with shares traded in the open market is determined using the market price at the date of grant. Fair value is measured by use of the Black Scholes valuation model. Recently Issued Accounting Standards – Recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the ASC), and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants did not or is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year's presentation to be consistent with current year presentation. 26 Financial StatementsNotes to the financial statements continuedMyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 20123.

Intangible assets During 2009, the Company entered into a patent rights purchase agreement with a shareholder. The agreement provided for the immediate payment of $28,000 in 2009 with the possibility of an additional $72,000 based on profits on the sales of a particular product. During 2010, the Company paid $22,000 based on profits on the sales of the product and paid the remaining $50,000 in 2011. The patent is amortised utilizing the straight- line method over a useful life of 17 years which represents the remaining legal life. Accumulated amortization on the patent was approximately $13,000 and $7,000 as of 31 December 2012 and 2011, respectively. Intangible assets as of 31 December 2012 and 2011 consist of the following: Patent defense cost Purchased patents Less accumulated amortization Intangible assets – net Weighted Average Useful lives 15 years 17 years 31 December 2012 31 December 2011 US$000 US$000 706 100 806 (330) 476 579 100 679 (287) 392 Approximate aggregate future amortization expense is as follows: Year ending 31 December 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 $67,000 55,000 48,000 38,000 25,000 Amortization expense for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 was approximately $43,000 and $39,000, respectively. 7.

A reconciliation of the differences between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate is as follows: Federal statutory income tax rates State tax rate, net of federal benefit Valuation allowance Other Withholding Tax Effective income tax rate 31 December 2012 31 December 2011 34.0% .2% (41.8%) (.5%) (15.7%) (23.8%) 34.0% .2% (34.7%) – 3.5% 3.0% The significant components of deferred income taxes included in the balance sheets are as follows: Deferred tax assets Other Accrued liability Charitable contributions Research and development credits Equity compensation Net operating loss Total gross deferred tax asset Deferred tax liabilities Property and equipment Other Equity compensation Total gross deferred tax liability Net deferred tax asset (liability) before valuation allowance Valuation allowance Net deferred tax asset (liability) 31 December 2012 31 December 2011 US$000 US$000 29 131 5 159 442 2,791 3,557 (454) – – (454) 3,103 (3,103) – 2 – – 167 370 2,409 2,948 (366) (3) (180) (549) 2,399 (2,399) – 29 MyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 20127. Income taxes continued Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between an asset or liability’s financial statement value and its tax reporting value using enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse, and for other temporary differences as defined by ASC-740, Income Taxes. At 31 December 2012, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $3.1 million for which it is more likely than not that the Company will not receive future tax benefits due to the uncertainty regarding the realization of such deferred tax assets. As of 31 December 2012, the Company has approximately $7.6 million of gross U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards that will begin to expire in the 2019 tax year. In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation ASC-740-10-25, Income Taxes, an interpretation of ASC-740. The standard clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognised in the financial statements. Under ASC-740, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognised at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. ASC-740 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. ASC-740 applies to all tax positions related to income taxes. As a result of the adoption and implementation of ASC-740, a tax position is recognised as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognised is the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realised on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognises interest and penalties related to tax positions in income tax expense. At 31 December 2012 and 2011, there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions or related interest. 8. Line of credit Since 2010, the Company has had a bank line of credit that allows for borrowings up to $400,000. The line of credit is revolving and is payable on demand. The balance on the line of credit at 31 December 2012 and 2011 was $0. The line of credit carries an interest rate of prime plus 0.30%. The interest rate on 31 December 2012 and 2011 was 3.55%. Interest expense related to this loan for the years ended 31 December, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $0 and $6,000, respectively. 9. Note Payable In April 2011, the Company entered into a lending agreement with a shareholder in the original amount of $1,500,000, payable within 5 days after the Company receives at least $15,000,000 in cash proceeds from an equity offering. The note had an interest rate of 10%, and the Company issued the shareholder 50,000 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The shareholder may exercise his warrants until 3 April 2016. The note was recognised net of a discount related to the stock warrant. The balance of this note was converted to common stock in connection with the Company’s public offering in August 2011. See more discussion of the public offering in Note 10. The warrants remained outstanding at 31 December 2012. 10. Public offering of common stock Authorised Shares and Shares Issuance On July 11, 2011 the authorised share capital of the Company was increased to 100,000,000 Common Shares at a par value of $0.025 each. On 4 August 2011 the Company issued an additional 5,787,455 shares of common stock for $3.44 per share (“the Issuance”). The Company incurred costs in the Issuance of these shares of approximately $3,475,000. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $16,512,000. Shareholder Loan Repayment As part of the Issuance, the note payable to a shareholder of $1,500,000 referred to in Notes 9 and 13 was paid by conversion to 437,353 shares of the Company’s common stock. 30 Financial StatementsNotes to the financial statements continuedMyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 201211. Stock compensation Stock Options In July 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved the Conversion Shares and the Directors’ Shares, as well as the Plan Shares and Omnibus Performance Incentive Plan (“Plan”). This included the termination of all outstanding stock incentive plans, cancellation of all outstanding stock incentive agreements, and the awarding of stock incentives to Directors and certain employees and consultants. The Company established the Plan to attract and retain Directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Company reserved ten percent of the Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately following completion of the issuance of additional shares discussed in Note 10. Upon the Issuance of these additional shares, an award of share options was made to the Directors and certain employees and consultants, and a single award of restricted shares was made to the Chief Financial Officer. In addition, additional stock options were awarded to two employees and a Director in May and September 2012. The awards of stock options and restricted shares made upon the Issuance were in respect of 85 percent of the Common Shares available under the Plan, equivalent to 8.5 percent of the enlarged share capital. The total number of shares reserved for stock awards and options under this Plan is 1,272,121, with 1,256,650 shares allocated as of 31 December 2012. The shares are allocated as 269,713 shares to Non-Executive Directors and 986,937 shares to employees and executives. The options granted to Non-Executive Directors upon the Issuance have an exercise price equal to $0.86 per share. All other options granted under the Plan upon the Issuance have an exercise price equal to $3.44 per share. Options granted in May 2012 have an exercise price equal to $3.87 per share and options granted in September 2012 have an exercise price equal to $4.02 per share. Unless otherwise agreed, all options vest contingent on continuing service with the Company at the vesting date and compliance with the covenants applicable to such service. Employee options vest over three years with a third vesting ratably each year. Vesting accelerates in the event of a change of control. Options granted to Non-Executive Directors and one executive vest partially on issuance and will vest partially one to two years later. All Non-Executive Director options must be exercised during the course of the 2015 or 2016 calendar years. Vesting accelerates in the event of a change of control. As discussed in Note 2, the Company uses the Black Scholes valuation model to measure the fair value of options granted. Since we do not have a sufficient trading history from which to calculate our historical volatility, our expected volatility is based on a basket of comparable companies’ historical volatility. As our initial options were granted in 2011, we do not have sufficient history of option exercise behavior from which to calculate our expected term. Accordingly, the expected terms of options are calculated based on the short-cut method commonly utilised by newly public companies. The risk free interest rate is based on a blended average yield of 2 and 5 year United States Treasury Bills at the time of grant. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes option pricing model for options granted in 2011 and 2012 were as follows: Number of Options Granted Grant Date Risk-Free Interest Rate Expected Term Volatility 2011 253,805 08/05/11 0.34% 3.9 years 45.00% 661,188 08/05/11 0.34% 6 years 45.00% 2012 26,000 110,000 90,000 05/09/12 05/09/12 09/13/12 0.42% 3.9 years 45.00% 0.42% 0.42% 6 years 45.00% 6 years 45.00% Exercise Price $0.86 $3.44 $3.87 $3.87 $4.02 Fair Value $2.63 $1.46 $1.35 $1.65 $1.71 The Company assumes a dividend yield of 0.0%. 31 MyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 201211.

Restricted Share Award On 5 August 2011, the Company issued a restrictive share award to the former Chief Financial Officer. This award consisted of 153,063 shares of Common Stock in the Company. These shares are subject to a number of restrictions and forfeiture provisions that continued for up to two to three years, based on performance, the achievement of certain financial milestones and continuity of service. 17,007 of the restricted shares granted to the former Chief Financial Officer were immediately vested without restrictions or forfeiture provisions effective at the time of the Issuance. 34,014 of the shares were subject to restrictions and forfeiture provisions that lapsed ratably each quarter over a 24 month period. The Working Capital shares, consisting of 51,021 of the shares transferred, were subject to restrictions and forfeiture provisions that lapsed at the time the Company received $15,000,000 in cash from additional investors. The Business Goals shares, also consisting of 51,021 of the shares, were subject to restrictions and forfeiture provisions that lapsed on specific dates as the Company obtained certain prospective revenue amounts in its pipeline. Release of both the Working Capital and Business Goals shares were dependent upon the former Chief Financial Officer’s continued service with the Company. 32 Financial StatementsNotes to the financial statements continuedMyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 2012As previously discussed, the former Chief Financial Officer changed his role within the Company as of 31 May 2012 and the restricted share award was modified. As a result, all of the restrictions related to these share awards immediately lapsed resulting in $171,000 of stock based compensation expense being immediately recognised. Stock Warrants On 29 July 2011 the Company and one of its consultants entered into a warrant agreement for the consultant’s assistance in connection with the Company’s initial public offering on 4 August 2011. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company agreed to grant to the consultant a warrant to subscribe for Common Shares representing 1.5 percent of the total shares outstanding immediately following the initial public offering. The warrant vested upon the Issuance. The exercise price of the warrant is $3.44 per share. The warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time in the period between 5 August 2011 and 5 August 2016. The warrant is exercisable, at the election of the consultant, without payment of the exercise price, for such number of Common Shares as is calculated in accordance with a formula set out in the warrant agreement. In summary, that formula operates by calculating the notional net gain that the shareholder would have made if it had exercised its warrant at the exercise price and then sold its shares at the current market value. The formula then uses the notional net gain to calculate such lesser number of Common Shares that the shareholder would need to acquire (at nil acquisition cost) in order to achieve the same notional net gain. In the event that the shareholder exercises the warrant (or any part of it) in this manner, the warrant is deemed to have been exercised in respect of such number of Common Shares as would have been required in order to achieve the same notional net gain had the warrant been exercised at the exercise price. In addition, either the consultant or the Company may elect, in certain circumstances, including a merger or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, to receive or provide (as the case may be) a cash payment, in substitution for the warrant, calculated in accordance with a formula set out in the warrant agreement. 12. Commitments and contingencies Operating and Capital Leases – The Company has entered into capital lease agreements for equipment through 2014.

The lease was expanded in January 2012 to include additional equipment and modified to become a monthly lease that is cancellable at any time by return of the equipment. The Company utilised the equipment each month in 2012 and made monthly payments of $30,000. The Company entered into an operating lease for a commercial building in Gainesville, Georgia on 1 July 2006. The lease was amended on 19 August 2009. The amended lease commenced December 2009, with monthly payments of approximately $6,000 through June 2011. The lease was amended on 22 March 2011 to extend the term through June of 2013 with monthly payments of approximately $6,000 beginning in July 2011. The amendment also grants a three-year option through June 2016 with monthly payments ranging from approximately $6,000 to $7,000. The Company has not yet determined whether it will execute the option. 33 MyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 201212. Commitments and contingencies continued The Company entered into an operating lease for additional warehouse space in Gainesville, Georgia on 1 March 2012. The lease was amended on 19 July 2012 to include additional space. The lease is for a period of three years with monthly payments of approximately $3,800. The Company entered into an operating lease for warehouse and office space in Jubail Industrial City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in May 2012. The lease is for a period of one year at an annual rate of $67,800 and includes an option to renew for a period of one year. In June 2012, the Company entered into an operating lease for an apartment in Jubail Industrial City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to accommodate Company employees visiting the Jubail Industrial City office. The lease is for a period of one year at an annual rate of $36,000. The lease includes an option to renew for a period of one year or less. The Company entered into an operating lease for office space in London, United Kingdom in September 2012. The lease is for a period of one year at an annual rate of $33,000. The Company entered into an operating lease for a commercial building on 11 September 2012 in Houston, Texas. The lease commenced October 2012, with monthly payments of approximately $6,500 through January 2018.

State Sales Tax The Company has determined that it has a liability for state sales tax resulting from activities in states where it does not currently collect sales tax from customers and remit to taxing authorities. The ultimate amount due will depend on a number of factors, including the jurisdictional tax rates, the amount of sales to customers who already paid the tax or are exempt, and any penalties and interest. The Company recorded a liability of $120,000 in accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheet to cover estimated potential exposure relating to the sales tax that should have been collected from its customers and remitted to tax jurisdictions. The Company is in the process of filing voluntary disclosure agreements with state and local taxing authorities. 34 Financial StatementsNotes to the financial statements continuedMyCelx Technologies Corporation Annual Report & Accounts 201213. Related party transactions The Company has held a patent rights purchase agreement since 2009 with a shareholder as described in Note 6. During 2010, the Company advanced funds in the amount of approximately $33,000 to a shareholder to be repaid over the course of three years. The balance outstanding at 31 December 2012 and 2011 was approximately $5,000 and $14,000, respectively. In April 2011, the Company entered into a borrowing agreement with a shareholder in the original amount of $1,500,000, payable within 5 days after the Company receives at least $15,000,000 in cash proceeds from an equity offering. The note has a stated interest rate of 10%, and the Company issued the shareholder 50,000 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company, as further described in Note 9.

Our systems are based upon scientific breakthrough for a completely different approach to permanent oil removal. MyCelx created the patented MyCelx polymer using innovative molecular cohesion for removing oil from water far beyond what conventional systems have ever achieved. MyCelx systems remove oil to critically low levels in a much smaller physical footprint than conventional systems and in a virtually fail-safe process. MyCelx can achieve oil removal to less than 1 ppm (part per million) or to the discharge level desired by the end user. MyCelx is molecular cohesion, not just filtration. It’s true oil-free water technology. Three to eight times more water than oil is produced during oil and gas production. Reuse of water, especially in water stressed regions, is part of the industry’s water management and business calculations every day. MyCelx is taking oil-free water treatment to new levels, setting the standard with proven technology. MyCelx solutions are fast, efficient, cost-effective and operator-friendly. The oil and gas industry is embracing MyCelx technology and momentum is building. Providing the technology to sustainably reuse water or safely discharge it to the environment is the mission of MyCelx.
