PART I
Item 1. Business
History
We were incorporated under the name “DP Charters” in Nevada on December 18, 1997. On April 18, 2002, we changed our name to “Nomadic Collaboration International, Inc.” Effective May 30, 2003, LGC Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Nomadic Collaboration International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, merged with and into LiquidGolf Corporation, a Delaware corporation, such that LiquidGolf Corporation was the surviving entity, and by virtue thereof, LiquidGolf corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of Nomadic Collaboration. On September 29, 2003, the Company completed a re-incorporation merger into a Delaware Corporation thus changing the state of incorporation from Nevada to Delaware. As a result of the merger, the name of the Company changed to LiquidGolf Holding Corporation. Our business operations at this time became the sale of golf equipment.
On August 12, 2004, we determined to change the name of the Company from LiquidGolf Holding Corporation to Horizon Holding Corporation to reflect our business decision to diversify our business operations beyond the sale of golf equipment. As part of this effort, in January 2006, we purchased the Silent SwordTM software and all trademarks, service marks, and logos. On April 28, 2006 a majority of our stockholders approved changing the name of the Company from Horizon Holding Corporation to Inverted Paradigms Corporation to reflect our business direction of developing the Silent SwordTM software. Eventually we were not successful in achieving commercially viable operations in the sale of golf equipment or in the sale software. We discontinued the sale of golf equipment in August of 2006 and the sale of software in March of 2007. On October 2, 2007, we entered into an agreement with GAMI, LLC for GAMI, LLC to purchase from the Company the Silent SwordTM software and thereafter consummated the sale.
In September, 2007, it was determined to focus business interests on researching, developing and commercializing innovative, leading-edge technologies. On September 7, 2007, Mr. Chris Trina was hired to be our CEO to pursue this business direction since he was experienced in this industry. Our name would eventually be changed to Transfer Technology International Corp. (“TTIN”) to reflect this business direction.
Transfer Technology
TTIN’s goal is to build a large intellectual properties portfolio and develop effective commercialization strategies that will lay the groundwork for the company’s future growth and success. To execute this business plan, the company plans to: (1) identify, evaluate and acquire promising technologies; (2) assess the potential market for each technology and recruit likely business partners; and (3) capitalize on the technology potential through commercialization.
- 3 -
During the first quarter of 2008, TTIN acquired patents relating to two technologies. The first is a patented process for preventing flash rust on low carbon steel. The second patent is for a product that protects citrus groves from citrus canker, a disease that causes millions of dollars of crop damage each year. Both of these technologies address large markets and offer significant sales opportunities. A study by CCT Technologies estimates that rust damage costs U.S. businesses approximately $276 billion annually. Regarding citrus canker, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has spent more than $436 million since 2000 on citrus canker eradication efforts. In addition, the company is currently evaluating other patents for possible acquisition.
TTIN plans to research, develop and commercialize innovative, leading-edge technologies through the acquisition of licenses and the design of effective commercialization strategies in conjunction with business partners who can facilitate market penetration. The company will also help clients identify and acquire development-stage technologies and processes that can enhance the client’s business in exchange for milestone and royalty payments.
Three-fold strategy for technology acquisition
The company seeks to identify technologies that represent a significant advance over existing technologies, address an established market and are socially responsible. TTIN plans to pursue technology licensing opportunities in the government, academic and private sectors:
1. TTIN intends to negotiate Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) with the Department of Energy, Department of Agriculture and other federal agencies. As part of these agreements, the company will fund research and development of technologies discovered by scientists employed by these government agencies;
2. In the academia market, TTIN plans to target numerous “orphaned” inventions and technology improvements. Approximately 70 percent of university patents never find a practical application or a commercial market;
3. TTIN will also search for licensing opportunities in the private sector by evaluating new technologies and entering into licensing agreements with developers.
- 4 -
First two patents acquired in the first quarter of 2008:
Flash Off rust preventative targets multi-billion dollar corrosion market
Flash Off rust preventative (U.S. patent number 7,008,910) inhibits flash rusting on low carbon steel. Applications for this product include structural steel, marine vessels, offshore structures, marine terminals, cranes, bridges, storage tanks, pipelines and potable water storage tanks. Rusting and corrosion adversely affect the performance of unprotected steel and may eventually result in structural failures. The U.S. Navy has conducted extensive tests of Flash Off that yielded favorable results. Sherwin Williams is currently evaluating Flash Off with its line of coatings.
A study titled “Corrosion Costs and Preventive Strategies in the United States” conducted by CCT Technologies with support from the Federal Highway Administration and National Association of Corrosion Engineers estimates total direct cost of corrosion damage at $276 billion annually. The is the world wide market in which we expect to eventually compete with out Flash Off product.
Our commercialization strategy for Flash Off is to continue signing non-disclosure agreements with coatings company's who then conduct in-house testing. We have six such agreements with potential end users at the present time. In addition, we need to raise further capital to finish a six month test with Corrpro out of New Jersey to suffice Navy and Sherwin Williamns protocal for efficacy. When funded we will immediately commence this test.
Canker Kill product protects citrus groves
Canker Kill is an environmentally-friendly spray that protects citrus groves from a group of diseases commonly known as citrus canker. ABC Research Corporation lab tested Canker Kill and found it effective against the Xanthomonas bacteria. Field tests by Glades Crop Care Inc. indicated Canker Kill was more effective than traditional copper spray treatments and much better than leaving trees untreated. Canker Kill also reduces or stops the growth of spoilage-causing micro-organisms such as Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, mold, yeast and spores. As a result, Canker Kill has potential applications in the food and beverage processing industries.
Citrus canker is a disease that causes lesions on the leaves, stems and fruit of citrus trees, including lime, orange and grapefruit. Eradicating canker is extremely costly and typically involves burning citrus orchard trees. Since 2000, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has spent $436 million compensating commercial citrus growers in Florida for losses resulting from citrus canker eradication efforts.
Our Canker Kill product contains the active ingredient d-limonene which is required to be registered for use with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”). D-limonene is already registered for a use different from ours under the herbicide label, EPA Reg No. 82052-4; 55% d-limonene. In January, 2009, the EPA led us to believe that because of the existing registration, a simple label review is all that would be required for our use of the product. To that end we named our application of d-limonene EcoAvenger Citrus Canker Control and submitted it for approval expecting a four month turn around. However, subsequent to our submission, the EPA shifted its position and insisted that it would classify our regulatory request under PRIA 2 as a new use, requiring a 15 month time for review. The new additional use registration (R230) application was submitted early in July, 2009, and was issued a PRIA 2 date of November 3, 2010. We expect EPA approval of our use of the Canker Kill product by the November 3, 2010 date but probably not before.
Our commercialization strategy for Canker Kill is to procure our EPA label for Canker kill now known as eco avenger and continue the ongoing testing required to generate sales by citrus growers in Florida. Sales should commence in 2011. We have already invested over $200,000 into the label and testing and we continue to test today. Our greenhouse study finsished this past April with good results. We are conducting another field study in August with one of largest growers in Florida, Barron Collier farms.

Other Technologies and Operations
Organic Products International
The Company has begun the development of a subsidiary corporation called Organic Products International which markets organic products. We are in a strategic distribution partnership with cutting edge formulations in distributing their top selling products; Avenger Organics De-weeder, Bug and Insect killer, Bed Bug killer, kelp and granular fertilizers and nutrients and insect powder. Sales in 2009 totaled approximately $15,000. We had anticipated higher sales in this subsidiary but due to lack of funding were unable to assemble a sales team to realize the potential of this product. However, these potential revenues presuppose the Company will be able to raise operation capital sufficient to build a sales team, fund Internet go-to-market strategies and other basic advertising venues. It is not certain working capital will be available to fund these efforts.
Xt2000 Orange Oil and X-Terminate, Inc
In about June, 2009, we were introduced to a new organic product call Xt2000 Orange Oil used for termite eradication. After becoming familiar with the product, management decided to add Xt2000 Orange Oil to its organic product line and to market the oil in the State of Florida. In November, 2009, we went further into this market and formed a new subsidiary called Xterminate, Inc., a Florida corporation, which would take us directly into the eco-friendly pest control business of applying the oil for termite control purposes. On March 1, 2010, we opened a freestanding, full service pest control operation at 5501 54th Ave. N., St. Petersburg, Florida and have five applicators who work out of that office on an independent contractor basis. All applicators together with the subsidiary itself are licensed as wood destroying organism ID card badge holders with the state of Florida. We generated revenues of approximate $10,000 in 2009 from the sale of the XT-2000 orange oil and approximately $12,000 so far in 2010 from the operation of our termite control subsidiary and its services. The termite swarming season in Florida runs from May to September and represents the months of our greatest opportunity.

Growth outlook
The company hopes to raise $1 million in the last six months of 2010, which will be used in part to commercialize Flash Off and Canker Kill and pursue additional technologies. During 2010, TTIN plans to build its presence in the technology transfer market, negotiate agreements with research partners and complete the acquisition of additional patents.
By year-end 2010, TTIN’s goal is to have technology transfer agreements covering around 3 to 6 projects. In addition, the company expects to begin commercializing some products. In 2011, management expects TTIN to begin achieving some revenue, albeit small in nature, from these projects.
Management team and Scientific Advisory Board
The company’s CEO Chris Trina was introduced to UTEK Corp., a leading technology transfer company, during his tenure as senior vice president of sales at GunnAllen Financial Inc. Mr. Trina was responsible for almost $1.5 million of an approximate $6 million private capital raise for UTEK. Schneider Securities took UTEK public in 2000. Early UTEK investors have benefited from the company’s growth from an initial market capitalization of $22 million in 2000 to over $100 million in 2008.
Intrigued by the UTEK business model and how well his private investors did, Mr. Trina followed the company’s development closely. After five years of watching and studying and being involved in UTEK, he decided to replicate many of UTEK’s successful strategies at TTIN while replacing those components of the UTEK plan that have proved less effective.
In addition, Mr. Trina has assembled a Scientific Advisory Board for evaluating new technologies. TTIN’s expert advisors include: Dr. Sandy W. Shultz MD, Chief of Radiology at the Lower Keys regional medical center in Key West Florida. Dr. David Silver; and Valerie McDevitt.
Industry and Market opportunity
Technology transfers begin with the notion that in a world of widely distributed knowledge, companies cannot afford to rely entirely on their own research efforts, but should instead seek to acquire or license relevant processes or patents from other companies. In addition, internally developed technologies not used by the company should be monetized through licensing, joint ventures or spin-offs.
The transfer technology market includes virtually every university, research facility, government agency and private enterprise worldwide where new technologies are researched. This market consists of literally thousands of facilities researching tens of thousands of new technologies across a broad spectrum of industries.
Stanford University alone filed more than 300 patents in 2004, and has spun off technologies that helped build well-known companies such as Google, Sun Microsystems, Netscape, Cisco Systems and Yahoo. Each year, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology executes almost 100 licenses. The Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh have dedicated considerable resources to building productive technology transfer businesses. Universities receive hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties each year from businesses that have licensed and commercialized their inventions through technology transfers.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Marilyn Simmons
On January 27, 2010, TTIN was sued by Marilyn Simmons who had invested $90,000 with the Company. The suit claimed the investment was not suitable for her and was fraudulent. TTIN disagreed with the claims and believes the suit could have been successfully defended. However, TTIN did not have the money to retain legal counsel to defend the suit and in March, 2010, Simmons obtained a default judgment against TTIN in the amount of $97,786.
On April 9, 2010, TTIN entered into an agreement with Simmons wherein Simmons would stay any execution of the judgment if TTIN would pay her a total of $120,000. TTIN must pay 7% of any money it raises for working capital purposes toward this obligation until paid in full. During any calendar quarter that working capital is not raised, TTIN must pay at least $5,000 from other sources on this obligation. No interest will accrue on the $120,000 and no fees will be added to the $120,000. If TTIN defaults on the agreement, the stay will be lifted and Simmons will be able to execute on the judgment against the assets of TTIN.
Brown and Goldfarb, LLC
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Brown and Goldfarb, LLC, wherein the Company was granted an exclusive license to sell a therapeutic device for thermally assisted urinary function. On April 28, 2010, the Company was sued by Brown and Goldfarb, LLC in the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, in and for Hillsborough County, Florida, Division K, Case Number 10008285, for failure to pay cash advance fees of $40,000 and issue 250,000 shares of Company common stock required by the Agreement. The parties have settled the lawsuit by the Company agreeing to pay $10,000 on June 30, 2010 and $15,000 on July 30, 2010. If the first payment is not made, a stipulated judgment for $50,000 will be entered against the Company. If the first payment is made but the second payment is not made, a stipulated judgment for $40,000 will be entered against the Company. If both payments are made, the action will be dismissed. The parties have entered into a stipulation agreeing to these terms which has been filed with the court. Due to funding that is pending, management believes the Company will be able to make the payment that is coming due on June 30, 2010.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
Not required.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Due to insufficient progress in prior business operations, approximately two and one- half years ago the Company liquidated its business assets and launched a new business plan. Its business assets had been comprised of software known as Silent Sword which protected computers from viruses and spyware. The Company had not been successful in marketing the software at levels sufficient to make further development of the software commercially viable. At the time of transfer on October 4, 2007, the software was not being carried on the books of the Company. The software was transferred in exchange for the acquirer’s agreement to invest $150,000 in the Company’s common stock.
To launch its new business plan, the Company hired a new CEO with experience in its new direction. The industry in which the Company is now engaged is described by the Company as technology transfer. The Company changed its name to Transfer Technology International Corp. to reflect involvement in this industry.
The Company commercializes new or underused technologies through the acquisition of licenses and through the design of effective commercialization strategies in conjunction with business partners who can facilitate market penetration. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company acquired patents relating to two technologies. The first is a patented process for preventing flash rust on low carbon steel. The second patent is for a product that protects citrus groves from citrus canker, a disease that causes millions of dollars of crop damage each year. In addition, the company is currently evaluating a third patent for possible acquisition. The Company has to date realized no revenues from the first two patents and is not carrying any value for the patents or any rights therein on its financial statements.
The Company is now beginning the commercialization process for these acquired technologies. However, as of the date of this filing, a revenue stream from these technologies has commenced only in a nominal way. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had no revenues from business operations and during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company had revenues from business operations in the amount of $96,450.
In addition to the commercialization of our technologies, the Company has acquired the rights to be a reseller of certain organic products. Since the Company is a reseller of products that are already developed and ready for market, the resale of the organic products has the potential to bring the Company immediate operational revenues. Though the revenues will likely start out slow, management believes this business activity has significant potential for the Company.
- 11 -
Capital Resources
Current business operations have been funded by financing activities including borrowing money and the sale of notes and equity capital. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company realized net cash of $1,485,129 through financing activities and $825,214 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Even though management believes operating revenues may be generated soon through the commercialization of acquired technologies and the sale of organic products, management plans on continuing meeting it cash obligations in the foreseeable future through the continued sale of its common stock in private placements. Other sources of capital to the Company include bridge financings from shareholders.
Fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company incurred $2,255,933 in general administrative expenses and a net loss of $2,698,247. Of that amount, $1,653,162 was in the form of non-cash adjustments such as stock issued to directors and executive officers for services rendered and stock issued to vendors and consultants for compensation. Changes in certain assets and liabilities such as accounts payable and accrued expenses were $(294,499). Accordingly, net cash used in operating activities was $1,339,584 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The operations of the Company were sustained by proceeds from the sale of our common stock and proceeds from notes.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred $2,422,296 in general administrative expenses, up $166,363 or approximately 7% from the prior year. During 2009 the Company branched into new areas of operations thereby incurring startup costs resulting in increased expense. Of the expense amount, $1,160,842 was in the form of non-cash adjustments and changes in certain assets and liabilities were $665,352. Since the Company had insufficient working capital during 2009 to conduct business operations, this increase was due to an increase in the use of stock to pay executives, employees, consultants and suppliers and an increase in liabilities such as accrued expenses and settlement liability. Accordingly, net cash used in operating activities was $969,214. Expenses were offset by operating revenues of $96,450. Revenues came from the sale of organic products and from the Company’s new termite control operation.
Management estimates fixed cash expenditures in the future to total approximately $50,000 per month and variable monthly cash expenditures average $5,000 to $15,000 per month. Accordingly, going forward, the Company needs approximately $180,000 per quarter to stay solvent and to pursue it business plan. As mentioned earlier, these cash needs will be met in the near term through the sale of equity capital and eventually through revenues from its business operations.
- 12 -
Liquidity
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company funded its business operations through the sale of convertible notes and equity capital. During the spring and summer of 2009, it became more difficult than it had been in the past to raise operating capital in this manner. This was due to the resignation of our VP of Corporate Finance who moved on to a different industry group and who was directly involved in our capital raising activities. In addition, since our stock price fell drastically, it was more difficult to raise money through the sale of our equity capital. On May 1, 2010, the Company had cash assets of approximately $2,900. Nevertheless, the Company continues its efforts to raise money through the sale of convertible notes.
The Company had also anticipated that it would be generating revenue by mid 2009 through the commercialization of technologies currently owned or acquired by the Company, principally its Canker Kill product. However, label delays for the Canker Kill product at the EPA has pushed back commercialization of this product approximately one year to the end of 2010 and an inability to raise large amounts of capital has delayed our ability to acquire and commercialize other technologies.
Our current plans for addressing liquidity concerns is to continue raising money through the sale of convertible notes and to generate revenue through marketing our organic products and operating our termite eradication unit. If we are not successful in raising sufficient capital and achieving sufficient operating revenues, the Company will cease to exist as a going concern.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The following is a discussion of various circumstances that could become material liability for the Company.
Settlement with Gary Harrison
In the first quarter of 2009 a dispute arose with Gary Harrison regarding his consulting responsibilities with the Company. In the final settlement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Harrison $67,857 together with interest that accrues at 8% per annum. The payment came due on January 25, 2010 but has not been paid. The parties have agreed upon a six month extension of the payment due date to July 25, 2010.

Stock Issuance to Shareholder
In January, 2009, SB Investment Trust, a shareholder and related party to the Company transferred free trading shares to a third party. Sometime after that, the Company issued restricted shares to SB Investment Trust to replace the transferred shares to induce SB Investment Trust to transfer the free trading shares to three investor relation firms for services provided to the Company. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) takes the position that this type of transaction may violate Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933.
At the time of the transaction, Company management did not know the stock issuance violated any rule or regulation of the SEC. When informed of the SEC’s position on such matters, management cancelled the stock that had been issued to the SB Investment Trust in 2010. The shares transferred to the three investor relation firms valued at a total of $50,000 have not been returned.
Purchase of Company Shares
Beginning in 2008 and from time to time, the Company became aware of certain shareholders who wanted to sell their stock. Rather than have large sales in the market that could put downward pressure on the market price, the board of directors approved a plan whereby the Company could purchase those shares if it determined to do so. The plan also allowed the Company to purchase its own shares in the open market. The Company issued a press release on October 2, 2008, discussing the plan and its intent to purchase its own stock from time to time. There were 20 non-market purchases of 1,725,351 common shares in the aggregate at a combined cost of $288,552.47.
A tender offer is a means of buying a substantial portion of the outstanding stock of a company by making an offer to purchase all shares, up to a specified number, tendered by shareholders within a specified period at a fixed price. The Company believes the relatively small number of shares it purchased at individually negotiated prices from a limited number of shareholders does not come under the purpose or the intent of tender offer regulation nor subject it to that regulation.
Default on Buy Back Agreements
In February, 2009, the Company was contacted by three investors requesting the Company buy back their investments. The Company agreed to do so. The combined investment price was $235,000 and was to be paid by the Company over time on monthly payments. The Company was only able to make the first two payments and is now in default on the agreements. One of the investors who was to receive $70,000 has now contacted the Company through his lawyer and is taking the position that he was not given all appropriate rights when he made his investment and is demanding payment in full of the $70,000 plus interest. The Company is adamantly taking the position that the investment was made properly and will defend any legal action if it is brought. However, the Company is in default on the three Buy Back Agreements and is subject to the liability as a result thereof. The Company has accrued for the settlement as of December 31, 2009, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Claims by Two additional Shareholders
The Company was contracted by an attorney representing two of the Company’s investors on April 30, 2010. The attorney demanded the investments in the Company by the investors totaling $262,000 plus interest be paid by the Company immediately. The $262,000 in investments was comprised of $160,000 in purchases of stock and/or warrants to purchase stock and $102,000 in convertible notes. The attorney maintains the investors were not given all of their rights at the time of the investments. The Company adamantly denies any such claims but is nevertheless under the burden of settling the dispute or potentially defending litigation that may be brought by the investors.
Forward-Looking Statements
We may have made forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities and the effects of future regulation and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. You should understand that many important factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the rapidly changing industry and regulatory environment, our limited operating history, our ability to implement our growth strategy, our ability to integrate acquired companies and their assets and personnel into our business, our fixed obligations, our dependence on new capital to fund our growth strategy, our ability to attract and retain quality personnel, our competitive environment, economic and other conditions in markets in which we operate, increases in maintenance costs and insurance premiums and cyclical and seasonal fluctuations in our operating results. TTIN, unless legally required, undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements and do not anticipate entering into any off-balance sheet arrangements that would have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.

TRANSFER TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL CORP.
Tampa, FL
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Transfer Technology International Corp. (The “Company”) as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
The consolidated financial statements of Transfer Technology International Corp. as of December 31, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2008 was audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated April 3, 2009.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transfer Technology International Corp., as of December 31, 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed above, the consolidated financial statements of Transfer Technology International Corp. were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. As discussed in Note 1, these financial statements have been restated. We audited the adjustments described in Note 1 that were applied to restate the December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2008 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to such adjustments and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2008 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2009 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial accumulated deficits and operating losses. These issues lead to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also discussed in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Note 2 - Organization
|
Transfer Technology International Corp. (the “Company”) was previously known as Inverted Paradigms Corporation (“Inverted Paradigms” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 18, 1997. On September 29, 2003, the Company completed a re-incorporation merger into a Delaware Corporation thus changing the state of incorporation from Nevada to Delaware. On September 18, 2007 a majority of the stockholders approved changing the name of the Company from Inverted Paradigms Corporation to Transfer Technology International Corp.
On March 17, 2009 The Company announced the creation of its wholly owned subsidiary Organic Products International Corp. (OPI). The decision to launch OPI is based on the development of three market ready products, and licensing agreements that provide a base of product offerings.
In November, 2009, we formed a new subsidiary called Xterminate, Inc., a Florida corporation, which launched our eco-friendly termite control business. We apply oil for termite control purposes.
|
Note 3 - Basis of Presentation – Going Concern
|
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced net losses since February 16, 1999 (date of inception), which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of $46,784,233 as of December 31, 2009. This factor, among others, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management has been able, thus far, to finance the losses through a series of private placements and convertible notes payable. The Company is continuing to seek other sources of financing and attempting to explore alternate ways of generating revenues through partnerships with other businesses. Conversely, the seeking of new technology is expected to result in operating losses for the foreseeable future. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.
In view of these conditions, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or capital sources, to meet its financing requirements, and ultimately to achieve profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)
|
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to federally insured limits.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services are rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enacted date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflects the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related assets or liabilities for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences, if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or laws is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Income Tax Uncertainties
The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process prescribed by applicable accounting principles. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as this requires the Company to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties as incurred in finance income, (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Net Loss Per Share Information
Basic and diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The Company’s common stock warrants have been excluded from the diluted loss per share computation since their effect is anti-dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted EPS:

Recently issued accounting issues
Codification of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168 the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 168”). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification has become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB effective September 15, 2009. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws continue to be sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.
In August 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that the fair value measurement of liabilities in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available should be developed based on a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that there is no requirement to adjust the fair value related to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. This guidance was effective for the Company as of October 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Settlement with Gary Harrison
In the first quarter of 2009 a dispute arose with Gary Harrison regarding his consulting responsibilities with the Company. In the final settlement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Harrison $67,857 together with interest that accrues at 8% per annum. The payment came due on January 25, 2010. The Company was unable to make the payment and the parties have agreed upon a six month extension of the payment due date. This amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in settlement liabilities.
Default Judgment in favor of Marilyn Simmons
On January 27, 2010, TTIN was sued by Marilyn Simmons who had invested $90,000 with the Company. The suit claimed the investment was not suitable for her and was fraudulent. TTIN disagreed with the claims and believes the suit could have been successfully defended. However, TTIN did not have the money to retain legal counsel to defend the suit and in March, 2010, Simmons obtained a default judgment against TTIN in the amount of $97,786.
On April 9, 2010, TTIN entered into an agreement with Simmons wherein Simmons would stay any execution of the judgment if TTIN would pay her a total of $120,000. TTIN must pay 7% of any money it raises for working capital purposes toward this obligation until paid in full. During any calendar quarter that working capital is not raised, TTIN must pay at least $5,000 from other sources on this obligation. No interest will accrue on the $120,000 and no fees will be added to the $120,000. If TTIN defaults on the agreement, the stay will be lifted and Simmons will be able to execute on the judgment against the assets of TTIN.

Lawsuit by Brown and Goldfarb, LLC
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Brown and Goldfarb, LLC, wherein the Company was granted an exclusive license to sell a therapeutic device for thermally assisted urinary function. On April 28, 2010, the Company was sued by Brown and Goldfarb, LLC in the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, in and for Hillsborough County, Florida, Division K, Case Number 10008285, for failure to pay cash advance fees of $40,000 and issue 250,000 shares of Company common stock required by the Agreement. The parties have settled the lawsuit by the Company agreeing to pay $10,000 on June 30, 2010 and $15,000 on July 30, 2010. If the first payment is not made, a stipulated judgment for $50,000 will be entered against the Company. If the first payment is made but the second payment is not made, a stipulated judgment for $40,000 will be entered against the Company. If both payments are made, the action will be dismissed. The parties have entered into a stipulation agreeing to these terms which has been filed with the court. Due to funding that is pending, management believes the Company will be able to make the payment that is coming due on June 30, 2010.
Stock Issuance to shareholder
In January, 2009, SB Investment Trust, a shareholder and related party to the Company transferred free trading shares to a third party. Sometime after that, the Company issued restricted shares to SB Investment Trust to replace the transferred shares to induce SB Investment Trust to transfer the free trading shares to three investor relation firms for services provided to the Company. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) takes the position that this type of transaction may violate Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933.
At the time of the transaction, Company management did not know the stock issuance violated any rule or regulation of the SEC. When informed of the SEC’s position on such matters, management cancelled the stock that had been issued to the SB Investment Trust in 2010. The shares transferred to the three investor relation firms have not been returned.
Purchase of Company Shares
Beginning in 2008 and from time to time, the Company became aware of certain shareholders who wanted to sell their stock. Rather than have large sales in the market that could put downward pressure on the market price, the board of directors approved a plan whereby the Company could purchase those shares if it determined to do so. The plan also allowed the Company to purchase its own shares in the open market. The Company issued a press release on October 2, 2008, discussing the plan and its intent to purchase its own stock from time to time. There were 20 non-market purchases of 1,725,351 common shares in the aggregate at a combined cost of $288,552.47.
A tender offer is a means of buying a substantial portion of the outstanding stock of a company by making an offer to purchase all shares, up to a specified number, tendered by shareholders within a specified period at a fixed price. The Company believes the relatively small number of shares it purchased at individually negotiated prices from a limited number of shareholders does not come under the purpose or the intent of tender offer regulation nor subject it to that regulation.
Default on Buy Back Agreements
In February, 2009, the Company was contacted by three investors requesting the Company buy back their investments. The Company agreed to do so. The combined investment price was $235,000 and was to be paid by the Company over time on monthly payments. The Company was only able to make the first two payments and is now in default on the agreements. One of the investors who was to receive $70,000 has now contacted the Company through his lawyer and is taking the position that he was not given all appropriate rights when he made his investment and is demanding payment in full of the $70,000 plus interest. The Company is adamantly taking the position that the investment was made properly and will defend any legal action if it is brought. However, the Company is in default on the three Buy Back Agreements and is subject to the liability as a result thereof. The Company has accrued for the settlement as of December 31, 2009, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Claims by Two additional Shareholders
The Company was contracted by an attorney representing two of the Company’s investors on April 30, 2010. The attorney demanded the investments in the Company by the investors totaling $262,000 plus interest be paid by the Company immediately. The $262,000 in investments was comprised of $160,000 in purchases of stock and/or warrants to purchase stock and $102,000 in convertible notes. The attorney maintains the investors were not given all of their rights at the time of the investments. The Company adamantly denies any such claims but is nevertheless under the burden of settling the dispute or potentially defending litigation that may be brought by the investors.
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due. Deferred taxes related to differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting will either be taxable or deductible when the assets or liabilities are recovered or settled. The difference between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting are not material therefore, the provision for income taxes from operations consist of income taxes currently payable.
There was no provision for income tax for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
At December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company had an accumulated deficit approximating $46,784,233 and $43,988,825. Due to changes in ownership during year 2007 the accumulated deficit available to offset future taxable income through 2029 are approximately $5,553,658 and $2,758,253 for the years 2009 and 2008 respectively.

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as discussed below, the Company’sdisclosure controls and procedures had not been effective at the reasonable assurance level to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 and has noted that effective controls are not in place. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management identified the material weaknesses discussed in the following section.
- 45 -
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Prior to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, management had identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting in that only one individual, our CEO Chris Trina, who, as an officer and director of the Company, had sole access and authority to receive cash and make cash disbursements. To remedy the weakness, management determined to take the following measures:
1.
|
Identify and/or retain a second employee or member of management who is appropriately trained who will also have dual control with respect to the receipt of cash and the making of cash disbursements; and
|
|
2.
|
Establish formal general accounting policies and procedures.
|
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, we made arrangements for our CFO, Robert J. Calamunci to have independent access to and independent review authority for, all banking records for the purpose of reviewing as a second authority all cash transactions of the Company. Further, members of our staff who are not officers or directors of the Company have responsibility for preparing all financial record keeping relating to the collection and payment of invoices. In light of these changes, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have determined the aforementioned material weakness has been remedied.
On October 20, 2009, management discovered an additional material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, namely, that we did not have adequately designed procedures to review accounting entries. As a result, we have determined to establishing a procedure whereby no entries will be made to the general ledger of the Company before proposed entries have been concurrently reviewed by the CEO and the CFO of the Company.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
There have been no transactions by the company within last two years where either the company as an issuer, or a director, officer or shareholder of the company, had an indirect or direct interest other than the purchase by TTIN of the rights to two patents. The rights were acquired from the SB Investment Trust in exchange for the issuance of 600,000 shares of common stock. The beneficiary of the SB Investment Trust at the time was Susan Burns, the sister of Mr. Chris Trina, the CEO and director of TTIN. Further, Mr. Trina is now the Trustee of the SB Investment Trust. In part because of the related nature of the purchase, the transaction was approved by the board of directors with Mr. Trina abstaining from the vote.
Director Independence
We have four directors. Chris Trina is not considered an independent director. William Parsons, Sandy W. Shultz, M.D. and Henry G. "Harry" Ulrich III are considered independent directors. The definition the Company uses to determine whether a director is independent is NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). A copy of that rule is attached to this filing as Exhibit 99.1.
