Item 1.  Business.


Overview


We were formed as a Nevada corporation in 1993. Our principal executive office is located at 96 Park Street Montclair, New Jersey 07042 and our telephone number is (973) 655-9001. Our website is www.geco.us. From 1998 until the third quarter of 2004, we provided financial products and related services to the new and pre-owned automotive finance industry. We primarily purchased and subsequently sold automobile finance receivables collateralized by new and pre-owned automobiles. The receivables were predominately purchased from automobile retailers nationwide and sold to banks and credit unions.


We changed our name to Homeland Security Network, Inc. on March 1, 2005 to reflect the direction of a new course of business. HSNI targeted markets such as commercial trucking and cargo management, commercial fleet management, equipment rental and personal vehicle tracking. During the period from March, 2005 until the end of 2007, we provided the GPS tracking industry with state-of-the-art software, as well as low cost tracking hardware, and the ability to offer a cost-effective data transmission fee


In the fourth quarter of 2007, we began investing in a new industry and we secured distribution rights to a patented water restoration technology, which represented a substantial opportunity global water purification market. Our company has proposed the use of its services in the United States and several foreign counties. In August 2008 we changed our name from Homeland Security Network, Inc. to Global Ecology Corporation to better reflect our direction and industry focus.






We have supported a number of events at the United Nations and have established ourselves as a strategic partner with International Renewable Energy Organization (“IREO”), a Brazilian private partner of the United Nations. Peter Ubaldi, our President and Chief Executive Officer has been appointed as Chairman of IREO’s Water Restoration Committee. We have proposed our remediation technology for contaminated bodies of water and for the remediation of soil in South America, Central America, the Philippines and the United States as part of its expanding marketing efforts.  


We entered into a joint venture with Huma-Clean, LLC, a Texas-based soil remediation and re-seller of processed soil for consumer and commercial users.  The first project is underway in Juarez, Mexico, and we are hopeful that the next sites will be located in the United States.   Our initial belief was that revenue from these activities would begin to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 and that the first order of its processed soil has would have been received for in excess of $2,000,000. However, the violence that has occurred in the City of Juarez and the surrounding area has taken the government officials’ focus away from the building and expansion of their farmlands. This has directly impacted potential orders.   Nevertheless, discussions are in progress with potential buyers.  We have advanced $780,000 to the venture.  The terms of the agreement call for the initial revenue to be used to repay the advance; however, we can allow a portion of the repayment to be left in the venture for working capital if we desire.  Management feels that there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the collectability of this asset; therefore they have decided to reserve $780,000 for potential impairment of the asset. As of December 31, 2010 the net carrying value of this asset is $0.   


In December 2010, we executed a Joint Venture Agreement with Isongo Water (Pty), Ltd., of Pietermartizburg South Africa (“Isongo”), whereby we have agreed to form a subsidiary company to be named GEC Africa (the “JV Company”)  with Isongo, which will be jointly owned 50% by each company. The JV Company will pursue business interests throughout South Africa and neighboring countries that will initially commence with the sale of our Mobile PureWater System (“MPWS”) and our ionized mineral solution, IMS1000.  Based on the success of the venture we intend to later incorporate the sale of our other proprietary and licensed technologies through the JV Company in certain African territories.


As part of joint venture relationship, Isongo will be granted an exclusive license for the sole benefit of GEC Africa for the sale and distribution of the MPWS and the IMS1000.  The intention of the parties is for GEC Africa to have its own local manufacturing facility for the MPWS and its solution, which Isongo has the capability to provide.  There will be minimum sales volume requirements for the continuation of the relationship. We can provide no assurances that the joint venture relationship with Isongo will be successful or be able to generate significant revenue, if at all.


We have incurred operating losses of ($767,694) and ($674,824) in years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and we have had working capital deficiencies both years.


Ours financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. We are seeking various types of additional funding such as issuance of additional common or preferred stock, additional lines of credit, or issuance of subordinated debentures or other forms of debt. The additional funding would alleviate our working capital deficiency and increase profitability. However, it is not possible to predict the success of management's efforts to achieve profitability or to secure additional funding.






Developments in 2011


GEC Africa

We continue to develop our relationships in South Africa through our subsidiary GEC Africa which is a joint partnership with Isongo. Representatives of our company demonstrated our MPWS in real time as it produced potable water from several contaminated sources. These demonstrations were performed in the most challenging conditions where rivers look like dark chocolate and E. coli, streptococcus, and other dangerous pathogens are abundant.   

Our group met with government officials from municipalities and water processing facilities including, The Department of Water Affairs and The South African Bureau of Standards, which has now agreed to accelerate the registration process for our licensed, proprietary formula, IMS1000. Many public and private entities in Africa are seeking ways to provide safe water without the use of chlorine and our IMS1000 solution will help to accomplish this goal.  We also had discussions with two municipalities for the use of our bio-remediation technology for the processing of bio-solids from their waste water treatment facilities. Additional uses of IMS1000 such as the de-contamination of large bodies of water, vegetable washes, poultry processing plants, and mining water reclamation are currently under discussion.

GEC Africa has now engaged several distributors to market our products and services throughout the continent. This distribution channel under the supervision of GEC Africa is expected to accelerate the development of our coverage and produce sustainable revenue.

GEC Energy Corporation

In March of 2011 we executed a Letter of Intent with Esoft Informatics, Pvt. Ltd. (“Esoft”), of Noida, India for the development of a thermal solar energy project in India and developing a sales channel for our products in India.  The letter of intent contemplates a formation of a subsidiary of our company, GEC Energy Company, which will b e jointly owned by us and Esoft. If we are able to come to terms with Esoft and enter into definitive agreements with Esoft, the joint venture will encompass the development of a six megawatt solar power plant in India which will provide an alternative source of energy for certain regions within India and will allow to establish distribution channels for our environmental restoration technologies throughout India. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to enter into definitive agreements with Esoft or that if we do that this will be a profitable business venture for our company, which may ultimately negatively impact our earnings and shareholder value.

Clean Tower Technologies, Inc.

In January of 2011, we formed a wholly subsidiary; CleanTower Technologies, Inc. for the purpose of developing a market for our licensed environmentally safe chemical IMS1000.  The solution is produced under a private label arrangement with our Canadian supplier, EnvirEau Technologies, Inc.  This new company will eventually include a number of affiliates with industry experience to help us build the operation.

Plan of Operation

Management is taking the following steps to create shareholder value and revenue growth for our company: (i) development of global partnerships to create distribution channels for our products; (ii) entering into and exploring a number of strategic partnerships both domestically within the United States and internationally to assist us in the development of our technologies; (iii) expansion of sales and marketing efforts into various markets impacted by environmental issues such as the water cooling tower market; (iv) continual development of proprietary technologies as well as development of new licensing arrangements for technologies that complement our current product offerings; and (v) aggressively pursuing regulatory approval in both the united states and internationally to allow for the use of our products in a broad range of environmental remedial markets.






Our future success is likely dependent on its ability to create profitable growth and attain additional capital to support growth and ultimately our ability to reach profitability and maintain profitability one we have reached that stage. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any such financing, or that it will be able to generate sufficient positive cash flow from operations. The successful outcome of these or any future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute its business plans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.  


Our Products and Services


Our current portfolio of proprietary and licensed technologies focus on point-of-use water purification systems, and water and soil remediation solutions which meet the long and short term water and soil quality requirements of world markets for residential, commercial, industrial, and emergency applications.  Our current portfolio of technologies includes:


Mobile PureWater System (MPWS)


MPWS is a flexible and mobile water purification system for use in areas where safe and clean drinking water is scarce or affected by natural disasters. It is the most cost effective, transportable; high-volume purified water production system available in the market today and can meet the daily water consummation needs of 5,000 people.


Water Remediation


Our water remediation licensed technology uses the Ionized Mineral Solution IMS1000™ to treat contaminated bodies of water which is Health Canada, NSF and EU certified and approved. It is used for numerous applications including, treating reservoirs, lakes and other large bodies of water. Additionally we can serve large HVAC systems, waste water systems, drilling water de-contamination, and various agricultural applications. It is also a vital component of our MWPS technology. The chemical not only safely cleans the water, but provides the added benefit of keeping water infrastructure delivery systems free of harmful bacteria and biofouling organisms. IMS 1000™ is produced for GEC by Canadian company EnvirEau Technologies.


Soil Remediation


We use a licensed product from HumaClean’s proprietary mixture of several different organic components that breaks down and eliminates contaminants yielding a very high grade organic top soil.


GEC’s expanding portfolio of patented and licensed environmental remediation technologies are specifically targeted at contaminated water and soil environments. We provide site owners, engineers, consultants, governmental agencies, and the academic community unbiased design and cost-effective remediation strategies. Our field-proven biotechnology-based solutions are used around the world to effectively manage complex, challenging environmental liabilities, while saving clients significant time and money. Our technically superior remediation solutions are proven to treat the widest range of organic contaminants by accelerating natural attenuation in water and soil.





Sales Strategy and Distribution Channels


GEC focuses on three market segments to implement its highly focused sales strategy:


·

National, State and Local Municipalities:  GEC works with domestic governmental agencies on the national, state and local levels to provide its remediation technologies for the treatment of soils and groundwater that these agencies oversee.


·

International Organizations: GEC is an affiliate of two Private Partners to the United Nations.  There are only approximately 186 companies with this designation.  Furthermore, the company is committed to working with other international organizations and foreign governments to address the worldwide problem of contaminated water and soil.


·

Private Engineering Firms: GEC is also committed to serving environmental engineering firms with a range of services in support of on-site and in situ soil and groundwater remediation.


Partnership Approach


Our partnership strategy is to engage and enter into strategic partnerships with local companies capable of deploying our technologies in a particular country, region or continent. We believe this strategy helps to develop relationships with local, national and regional regulatory bodies that are interested in deploying our technology while at the same time giving us a local footprint for construction, development and deployment of our technologies at a lower cost point if we were only to operate within the United States. We also review our customer’s processes to identify value added processes, and reduce redundancy.  This process has been an effective way of integrating our process to customer’s needs and has resulted in improving our customer’s relations and integration of our products into international markets.


Competition


The environmental industry is large, competitive and diverse, and is serviced by many companies, including several that have achieved significant market share. We compete with numerous domestic and foreign firms developing and deploying solutions to environmental concerns impacting many regions around the world.  Because of our market’s size and diversity, we do not typically compete for contracts with a discreet group of competitors.  We compete with different companies depending on the type of service and/or geographic area.  Certain of our competitors may have greater manufacturing, financial, research and development and marketing resources.  We also face competition from current and prospective partners that evaluate our capabilities against the merits of manufacturing products internally or licensing our licensed products directly from the manufacturing source.

·

The Environmental Soil Management Companies: a member of the D.A. Collins family, provide solutions in contaminated soil remediation and recycling. ESMI utilizes a treatment process called thermal desorption — a technology that permanently destroys hydrocarbons and other organic contaminates.  To achieve this, the contaminated materials are heated in a rotary dryer to temperatures between 350 -1,000 F depending on the type of contaminate. The desorbed contaminants enter the secondary treatment phase where they are heated to above 1500 F. The exiting gas stream is then cooled in an evaporative cooling chamber prior to entering a “bag-house” where any particulates are removed, prior to exiting the treatment process.


Competitive Advantage


We believe our company stands alone from any current competition.  Through our portfolio of technologies we are able to offer their customers a comprehensive solution to their contaminated water and soil problems in an “eco-friendly” manner.  Furthermore, we believe that its extensive governmental relationships both with domestic and international agencies provide the company an advantage in over the competition in access to distribution channels for the Company’s products.


Legal and Regulatory Issues


The laws, rules, and standards applicable to water quality and wastewater cleanup vary widely from country to country. The regulations have a profound impact on all who use water and discharge wastewater. The prevailing trend in recent decades favored stricter regulations, with higher levels of monitoring and penalties. Water testing has become routine; companies can be fined for a full day for a momentary lapse. Thus, operators are more vigilant in ensuring that plant effluents meet the mandated minimum levels.


As a general rule, the richest countries have the most restrictive rules about water quality. In North America, Canada and the United States have strong legislation and high standards, and enforcement is becoming more stringent. Canada's system is relatively decentralized, with authority shared among federal, provincial, and local authorities. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency administers primary government directives. Mexico's environmental regulations are considered the weakest of these three North American countries. Regulations in Western Europe are among the toughest in the world. The European Union adopted directives in 1991 vis-a-vis urban and industrial wastewater with deadlines in 2005. In other regions, rules are uneven and enforcement is non-existent or spotty. Along with others, we see a general trend toward stricter laws and improved enforcement.


Reliance on Strategic Partners and Licensors


We rely heavily on strategic partners to deploy our product offering and licensors to continue to license to us their proprietary technologies which are either a main product offering comprising our suite of product offerings or are a main component of our own proprietary technology. If we are unable to continue these strategic partnerships or license our products from our licensors it could have a negative impact on our operations, our potential sources for revenue and such shareholder value that could result from such relationships.






Personnel


At December 31, 2010, we employed a total of 4 people. No employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.


Financial Information About Industry Segments

 


Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. As of December 31, 2010, we only had one sale of our MWPS technology. As such, we evaluate current operations as one segment and do not report segment information.


Item 1A.  Risk Factors.


Going-Concern Opinion of our Financial Statements:


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company had a net losses of ($1,522,855) used $(47,976) in cash from operations and had a total stockholder’s deficit of ($3,706,690) and a working capital deficit of ($3,769,025) for the year ended December 31, 2010; Therefore the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to begin to generate positive cash flow from operations.


Limited Operating History of Present Business:


Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, difficulties and problems frequently encountered in transitioning a company into new business opportunities.


Risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:


·

The ability to maintain adequate liquidity and produce sufficient cash flow to meet our capital expenditure requirements;

·

The ability to attract and retain qualified management and other personnel;

·

The number of potential customers in a target market;

·

Changes in the competitive environment in which we operates;

·

Changes in government and regulatory policies;

·

Uncertainty relating to economic conditions generally and in particular affecting the markets in which we operate;

·

Pricing and availability of equipment, materials, inventory and programming;

·

The ability to complete acquisitions or divestitures and to integrate any business or operation acquired;

·

The ability to enter into strategic alliances or other business relationships;

·

The ability to overcome significant operating losses;

·

The ability to reduce costs;

·

The ability to develop our products and services and to penetrate existing and new markets; and

·

Technological developments and changes in the industry






Risk Associated with Expansion:


Our growth strategy may include future mergers or acquisitions, or expansion of services and products offered. There can be no assurance that management will successfully integrate our “refocused” operations with those that may be acquired or established in the future and effectively manage the combined enterprise. There will be a need to limit overhead as additional operations may be acquired while still maintaining sufficient staff. Failure to do so would have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations See Item 1. Business - Plan of Operations.


Competition:


We will also experience competition in the water purification and soil remediation industries. Both of these segments rely on technologies that must satisfy numerous regulatory and compliance requirements which have already been overcome by the developers of the technology that we have licensed.  We are aligning our self with established professionals and experts in these industries. We anticipate that the new technologies which it will bring to the market should provide a competitive advantage.  However, there are large and well capitalized businesses that will offer competition that could make our progress into this new business segment difficult.


Dependence on Key Alliances:


Presently, we no longer are dependent on a single electronics developer and manufacturer to develop and manufacture our products. However, it is possible that new emerging technologies could render our products obsolete or that procurement of supplies could become scarce or more costly to acquire should our suppliers terminate their alliance with us.


Additionally, we presently rely on the ability of a wholesale distributor, strategic alliances and a limited in-house sales force to market and sell the products. Many competitors are larger and have greater financial and marketing resources than us.


Dependence on Management Information Systems:


Our future success depends in part on the ability to continue to adapt technology on a timely and cost-effective basis to meet changing customer and industry standards and requirements.


Dependence on Key Personnel:


We is highly dependent on the services of certain key employees. We have entered into an employment agreement with some, but not all such employees. The loss of certain key employees' services could have a materially adverse effect on our business and operations. In addition, our future success depends upon its ability to attract and retain qualified general personnel, which have sufficient and suited expertise in the water purification industry and the soil remediation business.  There can be no assurance of success in attracting and retaining qualified personnel in the future.


Market for Common Stock; Volatility of Prices:


There has been a limited public trading market for our shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that a regular trading market for the common stock will ever develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained.  The market price of the common stock could also be subject to significant fluctuations in response to such factors as variations in the anticipated or actual results of operations of the Company, changes in conditions affecting the economy generally, analyst reports, general trends in industry, and other political or socioeconomic events or factors.






Liquidity and Need for Additional Funding:


Due to recurring operating losses and our current working capital deficit, there is a need to obtain additional funding of working capital for us to operate as a going concern. Various types of additional funding such as issuance of additional common or preferred stock, additional lines of credit, or issuance of subordinated debentures on other forms of debt will be pursued. We are currently negotiating additional investments in the company.  However, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available when needed, or if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable.


Substantial Leverage:


Although substantially leveraged at the end of fiscal year 2008, in order to meet the ongoing working capital requirements of us, additional indebtedness may have to be incurred, perhaps resulting in a more highly leveraged capital structure. A highly leveraged capital structure could have adverse consequences, including:


·

Limiting the ability to obtain additional financing;

·

Requiring the use of operating cash flow to meet interest and principal repayment obligations;

·

Increasing our vulnerability to changes in general economic conditions and competitive pressures; and

·

Limiting our ability to realize some or all of the benefits of significant business opportunities.


In addition, any indebtedness that would be incurred is expected to contain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions, pay dividends or take other actions. These covenants may also require the meeting of certain financial tests and the maintenance of a minimum level of collateral and may give the lender the right to perform periodic audits to ensure compliance with the terms of the applicable loan. Non-compliance with any of the terms of such covenants may result in a suspension of funding, acceleration and consequent demand for repayment and a foreclosure on collateral, as well as the pursuit of other rights and remedies, all of which could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the company.


Interest Rate Fluctuations:


Our profitability is based, in part, on the interest rate charged on interest bearing liabilities. Interest rates with respect to outstanding indebtedness or indebtedness that may be incurred in the future are, or will be, as the case may be, based on interest rates prevailing in the market at the time the debt is incurred. In some cases, the rates may be floating rates. Increases in interest rates paid on outstanding indebtedness would adversely affect our profitability and consume cash allocated for other operating activities.


Lack of Prospective Dividends:


We have not paid any dividends on its common stock and anticipates that future earnings, if any, will be used to reduce debt or finance future growth and that dividends will not be paid to shareholders. There can be no assurance that operations will result in sufficient revenues to enable the us to operate at profitable levels or to generate positive cash flow. Accordingly, we do not anticipate the payment of any dividends on common stock for the foreseeable future (see Item 5, Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters).



Inflation:


Higher interest rates, which generally occur with inflation, would tend to increase the cost of credit used by us and would thus, decrease profits.





Possible Other Risks:


In addition to all risks and assumptions including, but not limited to, those identified under this "Risk Factors" section, businesses are often subject to risks not foreseen or fully appreciated by management. In reviewing this report, investors and potential investors should keep in mind other possible risks that could be important. Among key factors that may have a direct bearing on our results are competitive practices in GPS tracking industries and the environmental restoration business, the ability to meet existing financial obligations in the event of adverse industry or economic conditions or to obtain additional capital to fund future research and development requirements of their products, commitments and expansion, and the impact of current and future laws and governmental regulations on operations.


Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.


None.


Item 2. Description of Property.


The principal executive office of the Company is located at 96 Park Street, Montclair, New Jersey 07042 75254. Approximately 1,000 square feet of leased premises are at this location. The rent is approximately $13,000 per year. The lease expires in January 2013.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings.


The Company is presently a party to legal proceeding as follows:  


Plus 4 Credit Union FK/A Houston Postal Credit Union (“HPCU”).  We, through its formerly wholly owned subsidiary, Autocorp Financial Services, Inc. (“ACFS”) had entered into an auto loan servicing agreement dated January 7, 2003. ACFS and HPCU have disputes over collection of certain auto finance receivables and general performance under the servicing agreement.  HPCU and the Company reached a $41,000 settlement agreement.  We paid $5,000 upon signing of the document and a monthly payment of $1,000 per month through February 2009. The total payments made to date under this arrangement are $9,000.  A balloon payment of $24,000 was due on March 1, 2009 but we have extended this date.  This settlement is secured by a $41,000 judgment.


Waterville Associates .  We entered into a consulting service agreement with Waterville Associates on March 20, 2007. The agreement called for certain services by Waterville Associates which included: (a) posting information about us on their web site; (b) production of an 8 to 10 page research report providing data on us; and (c) assisting us in the creation of capital to implement our business plan.  We agreed to compensate Waterville for their services by issuing shares of our common stock as these services were performed.  We have not received any of the services by Waterville as outlined in the agreement.  Waterville is seeking a claim for compensation as provided for in the agreement. Although we believe that the lawsuit is without merit we have determined that based on the potential legal fees to mount a defense, especially given the venue of the proceedings it was better to settle this litigation.  Therefore we issued Waterville 2,000,000 shares of Restricted Stock Common Stock as settlement in full.


Chris Verrone . In May 2008, Mr. Verrone loaned us $100,000 under a convertible note agreement. The note was converted to common shares during June 2008.  Subsequently, Mr. Verrone requested additional consideration and even though we had no obligation to accommodate this request, the Chairman of the Company advanced him $25,000 on behalf of us and we signed an agreement to pay him an additional $75,000 in 60 days.  We were not able to meet this deadline and Mr. Verrone commenced litigation and received a judgment against us.   No attempt to collect on the judgment has been initiated by Mr. Verrone and the status is unchanged.






Market Connexxions. In January 2005, we entered into a Promissory Note with Market Connexxions, LLC in the amount of $229,365.00.  We have asserted inconsistencies in the terms and conditions of the agreement but had in good faith agreed to settle the Note by issuing shares of our common stock to the holder of the Note. The principal of the Note holder ended what we believed to be meaningful negotiations and commenced litigation. However in December 2010, we re-started settlement discussions and all litigation has been suspended pending this resolution.

The Company


We were formed as a Nevada corporation in 1993. Our principal executive office is located at 96 Park Street Montclair, New Jersey 07042 and our telephone number is (973) 655-9001. Our website is www.geco.us. From 1998 until the third quarter of 2004, we provided financial products and related services to the new and pre-owned automotive finance industry. We primarily purchased and subsequently sold automobile finance receivables collateralized by new and pre-owned automobiles. The receivables were predominately purchased from automobile retailers nationwide and sold to banks and credit unions.


We changed our name to Homeland Security Network, Inc. on March 1, 2005 to reflect the direction of a new course of business. HSNI targeted markets such as commercial trucking and cargo management, commercial fleet management, equipment rental and personal vehicle tracking. During the period from March, 2005 until the end of 2007, we provided the GPS tracking industry with state-of-the-art software, as well as low cost tracking hardware, and the ability to offer a cost-effective data transmission fee






In the fourth quarter of 2007, we began investing in a new industry and we secured distribution rights to a patented water restoration technology, which represented a substantial opportunity global water purification market. Our company has proposed the use of its services in the United States and several foreign counties. In August 2008 we changed our name from Homeland Security Network, Inc. to Global Ecology Corporation to better reflect our direction and industry focus.


We have supported a number of events at the United Nations and have established ourselves as a strategic partner with International Renewable Energy Organization (“IREO”), a Brazilian private partner of the United Nations. Peter Ubaldi, our President and Chief Executive Officer has been appointed as Chairman of IREO’s Water Restoration Committee. We have proposed our remediation technology for contaminated bodies of water and for the remediation of soil in South America, Central America, the Philippines, Africa and the United States as part of its expanding marketing efforts.  


We entered into a joint venture with Huma-Clean, LLC, a Texas-based soil remediation and re-seller of processed soil for consumer and commercial users.  The first project is underway in Juarez, Mexico, and we are hopeful that the next sites will be located in the United States.   Our initial belief was that revenue from these activities would begin to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 and that the first order of its processed soil has would have been received for in excess of $2,000,000. However, the violence that has occurred in the City of Juarez and the surrounding area has taken the government officials’ focus away from the building and expansion of their farmlands. This has directly impacted potential orders.   Nevertheless, discussions are in progress with potential buyers.  We have advanced $780,000 to the venture.  The terms of the agreement call for the initial revenue to be used to repay the advance; however, we can allow a portion of the repayment to be left in the venture for working capital if we desire.  Management feels that there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the collectability of this asset; therefore they have decided to reserve $780,000 for potential impairment of the asset. As of December 31, 2010 the net carrying value of this asset is $0.   


In December 2010, we executed a Joint Venture Agreement with Isongo Water (Pty), Ltd., of Pietermartizburg South Africa (“Isongo”), whereby we have agreed to form a subsidiary company to be named GEC Africa (the “JV Company”)  with Isongo, which will be jointly owned 50% by each company. The JV Company will pursue business interests throughout South Africa and neighboring countries that will initially commence with the sale of our Mobile PureWater System (“MPWS”) and our ionized mineral solution, IMS1000.  Based on the success of the venture we intend to later incorporate the sale of our other proprietary and licensed technologies through the JV Company in certain African territories.


As part of joint venture relationship, Isongo will be granted an exclusive license for the sole benefit of GEC Africa for the sale and distribution of the MPWS and the IMS1000.  The intention of the parties is for GEC Africa to have its own local manufacturing facility for the MPWS and its solution, which Isongo has the capability to provide.  There will be minimum sales volume requirements for the continuation of the relationship.We can provide no assurances that the joint venture relationship with Isongo will be successful or be able to generate significant revenue, if at all.


We have incurred operating losses of  $(767,694) and $($674,824) in years ended December 31, 2010and 2009, respectively, and we have had working capital deficiencies both years.


Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company had a net losses of $(1,522,855), used $(47,976) in cash from operations and had a total stockholder’s deficit of $(3,706,690) and a working capital deficit of ($3,769,025) for the year ended December 31, 2010; Therefore the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to begin to generate positive cash flow from operations.






We are seeking various types of additional funding such as issuance of additional common or preferred stock, additional lines of credit, or issuance of subordinated debentures or other forms of debt. The additional funding would alleviate our working capital deficiency and increase profitability. However, it is not possible to predict the success of management's efforts to achieve profitability or to secure additional funding.


Developments in 2011


GEC Africa

We continue to develop our relationships in South Africa through our subsidiary GEC Africa which is a joint partnership with Isongo. Representatives of our company demonstrated our MPWS in real time as it produced potable water from several contaminated sources. These demonstrations were performed in the most challenging conditions where rivers look like dark chocolate and E. coli, streptococcus, and other dangerous pathogens are abundant.   

Our group met with government officials from municipalities and water processing facilities including, The Department of Water Affairs and The South African Bureau of Standards, which has now agreed to accelerate the registration process for our licensed, proprietary formula, IMS1000. Many public and private entities in Africa are seeking ways to provide safe water without the use of chlorine and our IMS1000 solution will help to accomplish this goal.  We also had discussions with two municipalities for the use of our bio-remediation technology for the processing of bio-solids from their waste water treatment facilities. Additional uses of IMS1000 such as the de-contamination of large bodies of water, vegetable washes, poultry processing plants, and mining water reclamation are currently under discussion.

GEC Africa has now engaged several distributors to market our products and services throughout the continent. This distribution channel under the supervision of GEC Africa is expected to accelerate the development of our coverage and produce sustainable revenue.

GEC Energy Corporation

In March of 2011 we executed a Letter of Intent with Esoft Informatics, Pvt. Ltd. (“Esoft”), of Noida, India for the development of a thermal solar energy project in India and developing a sales channel for our products in India.  The letter of intent contemplates a formation of a subsidiary of our company, GEC Energy Company, which will b e jointly owned by us and Esoft. If we are able to come to terms with Esoft and enter into definitive agreements with Esoft, the joint venture will encompass the development of a six megawatt solar power plant in India which will provide an alternative source of energy for certain regions within India and will allow to establish distribution channels for our environmental restoration technologies throughout India. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to enter into definitive agreements with Esoft or that if we do that this will be a profitable business venture for our company, which may ultimately negatively impact our earnings and shareholder value.



Clean Tower Technologies, Inc.

In January of 2011, we formed a wholly subsidiary; CleanTower Technologies, Inc. for the purpose of developing a market for our licensed environmentally safe chemical IMS1000.  The solution is produced under a private label arrangement with our Canadian supplier, EnvirEau Technologies, Inc.  This new company will eventually include a number of affiliates with industry experience to help us build the operation.






Plan of Operation

Management is taking the following steps to create shareholder value and revenue growth for our company: (i) development of global partnerships to create distribution channels for our products; (ii) entering into and exploring a number of strategic partnerships both domestically within the United States and internationally to assist us in the development of our technologies; (iii) expansion of sales and marketing efforts into various markets impacted by environmental issues such as the water cooling tower market; (iv) continual development of proprietary technologies as well as development of new licensing arrangements for technologies that complement our current product offerings; and (v) aggressively pursuing regulatory approval in both the united states and internationally to allow for the use of our products in a broad range of environmental remedial markets.


Our future success is likely dependent on its ability to create profitable growth and attain additional capital to support growth and ultimately our ability to reach profitability and maintain profitability one we have reached that stage. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any such financing, or that it will be able to generate sufficient positive cash flow from operations. The successful outcome of these or any future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute its business plans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.  


Employees


At December 31, 2010, we had employed a total of 5 people. No employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.


Going Concern


Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company had a net losses of $(1,522,855), used $(47,976) in cash from operations and had a total stockholder’s deficit of $(3,706,690) and a working capital deficit of ($3,769,025) for the year ended December 31, 2010; Therefore the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to begin to generate positive cash flow from operations.


We are seeking various types of additional funding such as issuance of additional common or preferred stock, additional lines of credit, or issuance of subordinated debentures or other forms of debt. The additional funding would alleviate our working capital deficiency and increase profitability. However, it is not possible to predict the success of management's efforts to achieve profitability or to secure additional funding.


If the additional financing or arrangements cannot be obtained, we would be materially and adversely affected and there would be substantial doubt about GECO’s ability to continue as a going concern. The   financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classifications of liabilities necessary if we become unable to continue as a going concern.


Revenues


Product Sales:


For the year ended December 31, 2010 revenues from product sales were $0 as compared to $13,030 for the same period in 2009, primarily because the Company elected to concentrate its efforts into developing water treatment and soil remediation technology.






Other Income:


For the year ended December 31, 2010 revenue from sources categorized as other income was $153, 935 compared to $740,950 for the same period in 2009. These amounts are due to the write off of certain accounts payable that were older than 4 years old as a result in the implementation of a company policy to write off inactive accounts that are older than four years old. All accounts were reviewed by management to ensure non activity and age.


Cost of Sales


Operating Expenses


Operating expenses incurred were $643,138 and $648,976, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  

 

Significant expenditures for operating expenses for the year ended December 30, 2010 and 2009 were:

Total expenses

$648,796


Compensation and benefits decreased by $56,378 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the previous year primarily due to a decrease in staff and the related employee benefits expense.


Office, occupancy and equipment decreased by $71,339for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the previous year primarily due to an increase in rent and associated rent expense as a result of opening a new office in Keasbey, NJ offset by a decrease in rent and associated rent expense as a result of moving to less expensive space in Richardson Texas.


Professional and consulting fees Increased by $164,758 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the previous year primarily due to increased needs related to legal council, accounting fee requirements, and consulting fees mostly related to SEC compliance.


Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by 35,866 for the year ended December 31, 20010 as compared to the previous year due to the depreciation of leasehold improvements made to the Keasbey, NJ office in 2008 and amortization of capitalized software acquired in September 2007.


The sales development and marketing expenses increased by $1,692 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the previous year due to the Company entering the water purification industry and aggressively pursuing this business during 2009 and decreasing in 2010.  The Company utilizes the services of several consultants to establish business relationships which include foreign governments, domestic government agencies, and partnerships with United Nations groups and humanitarian organizations.






Other debt settlement fees decreased by $5,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the previous year due to the Company incurring additional fees related to the settlement of notes by common stock in 2009


Interest Expenses


Interest expense increased by $11,187 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the previous year primarily due to the increase debt raised in 2010.


Liquidity


Our   financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Management is seeking various types of additional funding such as issuance of additional common or preferred stock, additional lines of credit, or issuance of subordinated debentures or other forms of debt. The funding should alleviate our working capital deficiency and increase profitability. However, it is not possible to predict the success of our efforts to achieve profitability. Also, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available when needed or, if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable.


These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.  Management is seeking to raise additional capital and to renegotiate certain liabilities in order to alleviate the working capital deficiency.


Due to recurring operating losses and our current working capital deficit, there is a need to obtain additional funding of working capital for us to operate as a going concern. We incurred operating losses of $1,547,694 and net losses of  $(1,522,855 for the year ended December 31, 2010. In 2010, we have been able to minimally sustain its working capital needs based on capital derived primarily from:  issuances of additional common stock and notes payable. .


Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the   statements of cash flows, are summarized in the following table:

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased by $85,566 from cash used in operations for the previous year ended due primarily from the issuance of common stock for services. The operating loss of $(1,547,694) for the year ended December 31, 2010 included the following non cash items:

Accounts payable and other accrued expenses decreased by $95,774, primarily due to the settlement of certain liabilities through the issuance of common stock and the write off of liabilities that are older than four years old (per adopted company policy.


Net cash used by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 remained unchanged at $0.


Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $135,761 for the year ended December 31, 20010 compared to the prior year due to increased borrowing in 2010.


Market for Common Stock; Volatility of Prices


There has been a limited public trading market for shares of our common stock. There can be no assurance that a regular trading market for our common stock will ever develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. The market price of our common stock could also be subject to significant fluctuations in response to such factors as variations in the anticipated or actual results of our operations or other companies in the business of environmental restoration , changes in conditions affecting the economy generally, analyst reports, general trends in industry, and other political or socioeconomic events or factors.


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that constitute off-balance sheet arrangements.


Deferred Tax Valuation


We continue to incur tax net operating losses, which are available to carry forward and offset future taxable income. These net operating losses were generated, principally as a result of losses resulting from our operations.  A deferred tax asset results from the benefit of utilizing these net operating loss carry-forwards in future years.


Due to the current uncertainty of realizing the benefits of the tax net carry loss carry-forward, a valuation allowance equal to the tax benefits for the deferred taxes has been established. The full realization of the tax benefit associated with the carry-forward depends predominately upon our ability to generate taxable income during future periods, which is not assured.






Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Subject to and subsequent to an appointment or election as an officer or director, we provide contractual indemnification.


We also agree to indemnify the positions of directors and officers as follows: A director or officer shall not be liable for any claim or demand on account of damages in any manner. We agree to indemnify and hold directors or officers, without limitation, harmless from any and all damages, losses (which shall include any diminution in value), shortages, liabilities (joint or several), payments, obligations, penalties, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, specifically including without limitation, fees, disbursements and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors and of expert witnesses and cost of investigation and preparation. A director or officer will be indemnified from any decision or action taken prior to his or her hire date as



Stock-Based Compensation


Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments , (SFAS No. 123(R)) for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors including stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchases related to our employee stock purchase plan.  In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), shares issued are recorded based on grant-date fair value.  All shares issued for compensation or services are valued at the fair value of the shares at the time or the value of the services rendered, which ever is more accurately attained at the time.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



Board of Directors

Global Ecology Corporation

96 Park Street

Montclair, NJ  07042



We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Global Ecology Corporation as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.  

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Ecology Corporation as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the period ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Global Ecology Corporation will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4, conditions exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 4.  The financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

GLOBAL ECOLOGY CORPORATION  

NOTES TO AUDITED   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009


 The use of the words “we,” “us,” “our” “GECO” or “the Company” refers to Global Ecology Corporation and its subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.


1. Organization and Description of Business


We were formed as a Nevada corporation in 1993. Our principal executive office is located at 96 Park Street Montclair, New Jersey 07042 and our telephone number is (973) 655-9001. Our website is www.geco.us. From 1998 until the third quarter of 2004, we provided financial products and related services to the new and pre-owned automotive finance industry. We primarily purchased and subsequently sold automobile finance receivables collateralized by new and pre-owned automobiles. The receivables were predominately purchased from automobile retailers nationwide and sold to banks and credit unions.


We changed our name to Homeland Security Network, Inc. on March 1, 2005 to reflect the direction of a new course of business. HSNI targeted markets such as commercial trucking and cargo management, commercial fleet management, equipment rental and personal vehicle tracking. During the period from March, 2005 until the end of 2007, we provided the GPS tracking industry with state-of-the-art software, as well as low cost tracking hardware, and the ability to offer a cost-effective data transmission fee


In the fourth quarter of 2007, we began investing in a new industry and we secured distribution rights to a patented water restoration technology, which represented a substantial opportunity in the multi-billion dollar global water purification market. Our company has proposed the use of its services in the United States and several foreign counties. Soon thereafter, we changed our name from Homeland Security Network, Inc. to Global Ecology Corporation to better reflect our direction and industry focus.


We have supported a number of events at the United Nations and have established ourselves as a strategic partner with International Renewable Energy Organization (“IREO”), a Brazilian private partner of the United Nations.  Peter Ubaldi, our President and Chief Executive Officer has been appointed as Chairman of IREO’s Water Restoration Committee. We have proposed our remediation technology for contaminated bodies of water and for the remediation of soil in South America, Central America, the Philippines, Africa and the United States as part of its expanding marketing efforts.  


We entered into a joint venture with Huma-Clean, LLC, a Texas-based soil remediation and re-seller of processed soil for consumer and commercial users.  The first project is underway in Juarez, Mexico, and we are hopeful that the next sites will be located in the United States.   Our initial belief was that revenue from these activities would begin to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 and that the first order of its processed soil has would have been received for in excess of $2,000,000. However, the violence that has occurred in the City of Juarez and the surrounding area has taken the government officials’ focus away from the building and expansion of their farmlands. This has directly impacted potential orders.   Nevertheless, discussions are in progress with potential buyers.  We have advanced $780,000 to the venture.  The terms of the agreement call for the initial revenue to be used to repay the advance; however, we can allow a portion of the repayment to be left in the venture for working capital if we desire.  Management feels that there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the collectability of this asset; therefore they have decided to reserve $780,000 for potential impairment of the asset. As of December 31, 2010 the net carrying value of this asset is $0.   


We have incurred net losses in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and we have had working capital deficiencies in both periods.


Ours financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. We are seeking various types of additional funding such as issuance of additional common or preferred stock, additional lines of credit, or issuance of subordinated debentures or other forms of debt. The additional funding would alleviate our working capital deficiency and increase profitability. However, it is not possible to predict the success of management's efforts to achieve profitability or to secure additional funding.

NOTES TO AUDITED   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009 – (CONTINUED)


Also, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available when needed or, if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable. We are also seeking to renegotiate certain liabilities in order to alleviate the working capital deficiency.


If the additional financing or arrangements cannot be obtained, we would be materially and adversely affected and there would be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The   financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classifications of liabilities necessary if the Company becomes unable to continue as a going concern.


2. Basis of Presentation


The financial information presented in this report comprises the audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.


We have prepared the accompanying financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).


3. Significant Accounting Policies


Use of Estimates


Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting GAAP. These accounting principles require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. When sources of information regarding the carrying values of assets, liabilities and reported amounts of revenue and expenses are not readily apparent, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that our management believes to be reasonable for making judgments. We evaluate all of its estimates on an on-going basis and may consult outside experts to assist in our evaluations. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Revenue Recognition


We previously recognized revenue related to our GPS tracking business principally on two types of transactions – sales of products and wireless communication service fees. The products sold and bundled in the product offering include a radio transmitter, hosted software, and a data transmission network. Revenue arrangements were accounted for under EITF No. 00-21: Prior to the end of December 31, 2009, we discontinued the GPS operation and as such no revenue related to this business segment has occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2010.


When revenue is generated from the sale of products and services of our environmental restoration activities, we will record this revenue in accordance with guidance provided by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, or SAB No. 104., Revenue Recognition;, revenue is recognized when all of the following are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) title and risk of loss have passed, (iii) delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, (iv) the sales price is fixed or determinable and (v) collection is reasonably assured.

NOTES TO AUDITED   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009 – (CONTINUED)


Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable relating to our tracking device segment consists of payments due from users of the products.  In the normal course of business, we monitor the financial condition of our customer base.  As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has recorded a provision for uncollectible accounts of $133,250 and $133,250, respectively, related to a long-outstanding balance. The account deemed uncollectible relates to an individual customer; we have a note payable outstanding to an affiliated entity (Riverside Corporation) of the customer with a principal balance of $141,875 and $141,875 as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. As the note payable terms do not have a right of offset, we have reserved the balance in full in accordance with its own accounting policies; however, we believe we have a legal right of offset if the affiliated entity of the customer pursues further collection efforts on the notes payable balance.


Inventory


Inventory consists of the radio transmitter units sold in the GPS business and carried at cost.


Property, Plant and Equipment


Furniture and equipment are carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is three years.  Leasehold improvements are carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the life of the lease.


Capitalized Software


We capitalize certain computer software costs, after technological feasibility has been established.  These costs are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the software’s economic life, which has been estimated at five years.  Development costs of the software are accounted for in accordance with SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use (“SOP 98-1”).  SOP 98-1 permits capitalization of software costs if they are expenditures related to the applications development.   In the past, and prospectively, the Company has and will capitalize expenditures directly related to the development of applications.  For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, no expenditures relating to application development were capitalized by our Company.

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009 – (CONTINUED)


Goodwill and Intangible Assets


Goodwill and intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142") (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other). Under Topic 350, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized but instead are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill or other intangible assets may not be recoverable, or at least annually at December 31 of each year. These tests are performed at the reporting unit level using a two-step, fair-value based approach. The first step compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The second step allocates the fair value of the reporting unit to the Company's tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. This derives an implied fair value for the reporting unit's goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess.  In the event that the Company determines that the value of goodwill or other intangible assets have become impaired, the Company will incur a charge for the amount of the impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.


Investment in Joint Venture


In March 2008, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Huma-Clean, LLC of Houston Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, the funding for the venture was $800,000, which was advanced in several installments by us. This funding is in the form of a loan that will be repaid out of the initial proceeds of the venture.  Any income or loss generated by the joint venture is to be allocated 50% to us and 50% to Huma-Clean, LLC. As of December 31, 2010 we advanced $780,000 under this agreement, which has been recorded on a cost basis. The investment has not been recorded on an equity method basis because of our inability to exercise significant influence over the venture. Management feels that there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the collectability of this asset; therefore they have decided to reserve $780,000 for potential impairment of the asset. As of December 31, 2010 the net carrying value of this asset is $0.   


Deferred financing costs


We capitalize costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related debt instruments.

Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. As of December 31, 2010, we had a net operating loss carry forward of $(29,248,255) and a deferred tax asset of $9,944,407 using the statutory rate of 34%. The deferred tax asset may be recognized in future periods, not to exceed 20 years.  However, due to the uncertainty of future events we have booked valuation allowance of $9,944,407.

Long-Lived Assets


We account for our long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, (“SFAS No. 144”) (now contained in FASB Codification Section 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment-- Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Asset subsections), which requires that long-lived assets be evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the total of the undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset or asset group.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


On September 15, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”) (now contained in FASB Codification Section 825-10-65, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Overall-Transition and Open Effective Date Information), which addresses standardizing the measurement of fair value for companies who are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes. The FASB Codification Section 825-10-65 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market

participants at the measurement date.”  The Company’s adoption of the required portions of FASB Codification Section 825-10-65 as of January 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2,  Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157  (“FSP 157-2”), permitting entities to delay application of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company adopted the application of FASB Codification Section 825-10-65to non-financial assets and liabilities effective January 1, 2009; this did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

FASB Codification Section 825-10-65established a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).


·

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.


·

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.


·

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data.


At December 31, 2010, our assets and liabilities reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs include cash and cash equivalents. For these items, quoted current market prices are readily available. We do not currently have any financial instruments utilizing Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.


The following table presents information about the Company’s fair value hierarchy for financial assets as of December 31, 2010:

The carrying amounts of trade receivables and payables, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.  


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”) (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 825-10, Financial Instruments-Fair Value Option subsections), which permits companies to choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently measured at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected would be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred.  The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its existing financial instruments other than those already measured at fair value.  Therefore, our adoption of FASB Codification Topic 825-10 as of January 1, 2008 did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Concentrations of Credit Risk


We maintain our cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation secures each depositor up to $250,000.


Stock-Based Compensation


Prior to January 1, 2006, we elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees , and related interpretations to account for our employee and director stock options, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,  Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(contained in FASB Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation). We accounted for stock-based compensation for non-employees under the fair value method prescribed by Topic 718. Effective January 1, 2006, The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Topic 718  for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors including stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchases related to our employee stock purchase plan. In addition, the Company has applied the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB No. 107), issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, in our adoption of Topic 718.


We adopted FASB Codification Topic 718 using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense recognized after the effective date includes: (1) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the measurement date fair value estimate in accordance with the original provisions of FASB Codification Topic 718, and (2) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the measurement date fair value estimate in accordance with the provisions of FASB Codification Topic 718. Results from prior periods have not been restated and do not include the impact of FASB Codification Topic 718. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2009, we recognized no stock-based compensation expense under FASB Codification Topic 718 relating to employee and director stock options, restricted stock units or the employee stock purchase plan.


Stock-based compensation expense recognized each period is based on the greater of the value of the portion of share-base payment awards under the straight-line method or the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. FASB Codification Topic 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.





GLOBAL ECOLOGY CORPORATION  

NOTES TO AUDITED   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009 – (CONTINUED)


Upon adoption of FASB Codification Topic 718, the Company elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula to value share-based payments granted to employees subsequent to January 1, 2006 and elected

to attribute the value of stock-based compensation to expense using the straight-line single option method. These methods were previously used for our pro forma information required under FASB Codification Topic 718.

On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards , which detailed an alternative transition method for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to FASB Codification Topic 718. This alternative transition method included simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Statement of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of FASB Codification Topic 718. Due to the Company’s historical net operating losses, the Company has not recorded the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation and has no APIC pool. Prior to the adoption of FASB Codification Topic 718, all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options were required to be presented as operating cash flows in the   Statement of Cash Flows. FASB Codification Topic 718 requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. Due to our historical net operating loss position, we have not recorded these excess tax benefits as of December 31, 2010.

Liabilities

We have adopted the policy of writing-off any liabilities outside the statute of limitations and over four years.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”) (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 805- Business Combinations). Among other changes, FASB Codification Topic 805requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction at fair value; and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including earn-out provisions. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Codification Topic 805.  The adoption of FASB Codification Topic 805has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations and financial position.


In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP No. 142-3”) (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 350-30, Intangibles other than Goodwill), which amends the factors that should be considered when developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset under FASB Codification Topic 350-30, in order to improve consistency between FASB Codification Topic 350-30and the period of expected cash flows to measure the fair value of the asset under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007),  Business Combinations, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting practices. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Codification Topic 350-30. The adoption of FSP No. 142-3 has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations and financial position.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in accordance with GAAP.  With the issuance of this statement, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed toward the entity and not its auditor, and reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB as opposed to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company

Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We have evaluated the new statement and has determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of its financial results.


We adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN48”) on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We had no unrecognized tax benefits and no accrued interest or penalties recognized as of the date of our adoption of FIN48. During the years ended December 31, 2010 there were no changes in our unrecognized tax benefits and we had no accrued interest or penalties as of December 31, 2010.


Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation.

  

4. Going Concern Uncertainty


We have incurred net losses in the years ended December 31, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2009 and we have had working capital deficiencies both periods.


Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company had a net losses of $(1,522,855), used $47,976 in cash from operations and had a total stockholder’s deficit of ($3,706,690) and a working capital deficit of ($3,769,025) for the year ended December 31, 2010; Therefore the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to begin to generate positive cash flow from operations.


We are seeking various types of additional funding such as issuance of additional common or preferred stock, additional lines of credit, or issuance of subordinated debentures or other forms of debt. The additional funding would alleviate our working capital deficiency and increase profitability. However, it is not possible to predict the success of management's efforts to achieve profitability or to secure additional funding.


If the additional financing or arrangements cannot be obtained, we would be materially and adversely affected and there would be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

5. Income (Loss) Per Share


Basic profit / (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. At December 31, 2010 the Company had outstanding common shares of 395,769,546 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share.  Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at December 31, 2010 were 374,012,183 As of December 31, 2010 the Company had outstanding preferred shares which would have been assumed to be converted and have a dilutive effect of $21,500,000 common shares  For the years ended, December 31, 2010 and 2009, all of the Company's common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive, due to the Company's net loss in those periods.


6. Property, Plant and Equipment

 

We had no property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:


7. Capitalized Software Costs

 

The Company accounts for the development cost of software intended for sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, (“SFAS No. 86”) (now contained in FASB Codification 985-20, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed). FASB Codification 985-20 requires product development costs to be charged to expense as incurred until technological feasibility is attained. Technological feasibility is attained when the Company’s software has completed system testing and been determined viable for its intended use. Accordingly the Company did not capitalize any development costs other than product development costs acquired through a third party purchase. The Company capitalizes software through technology purchases if the related software under development has reached technological feasibility or if there are alternative future uses for the software.


During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company acquired new software to operate and enhance its GPS

system. The development costs of this software, which totaled $116,682, were capitalized and placed in service at the end of September 2007 and are being amortized over their estimate useful life of five years.  No such

Capitalized software costs and accumulated amortization were as follows as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

8.  Other Intangible Assets


On June 6, 2008, we acquired a mobile water purification plant and computerized ballast water distribution system from Robert Elfstrom. We agreed to purchase these assets in consideration for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued as follows: 100,000 shares upon the execution of the Bill of Sale and the remaining balance of shares to be issued in increments of 300,000 shares each time we accumulate net revenues of $2,000,000 from the utilization of the technology. We initially recorded the asset at the fair value of the full 1,000,000 shares at the date of the sale, which was $215,000, and recorded a liability for the remaining 900,000 shares to be issued.  As of December 31, 2010, no revenues had been generated from this technology and thus no additional shares had been issued. We determined that it was more appropriate to reverse the liability for the remaining contingent shares and to reduce the value of the assets to the fair value of the 100,000 shares issued at execution of the agreement, or $21,500.  If and when the remaining shares are issued, they will be recorded as a royalty expense. However, during 2009 a dispute had arisen with Mr. Elfstrom concerning his performance under this arrangement which we felt would directly impact the success of the System.  All unpaid compensation whether in stock or fees has been withheld pending final negotiation with Mr. Elfstrom. We have also made arrangements with a manufacturing/ joint venture partner for the production of our own Mobile PureWater System (“MPWS”) which is now being demonstrated in Nigeria and has been offered to several relief agencies. The next generation of the MPWS has been completed by the same manufacturer and is being test in New Jersey.


9.

Investment in Joint Venture and Other


In March 2008, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Huma-Clean, LLC of Houston Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, the funding for the venture was $800,000, which was advanced in several installments by us. This funding is in the form of a loan that will be repaid out of the initial proceeds of the venture.  Any income or loss generated by the joint venture is to be allocated 50% to us and 50% to Huma-Clean, LLC. As of December 31, 2010 we advanced $780,000 under this agreement, which has been recorded on a cost basis. The investment has not been recorded on an equity method basis because of our inability to exercise significant influence over the venture. Management feels that there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the collectability of this asset; therefore they have decided to reserve $780,000 for potential impairment of the asset. As of December 31, 2010 the net carrying value of this asset is $0.   


10.   Notes Payable to Related Parties

15.  Stock Plans

 

We have a non-qualified stock option plan (the “Plan”) that was adopted by the Board of Directors in March 1997. The Plan, as authorized, provides for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock.


Persons eligible to participate in the Plan as recipients of stock options include full and part-time employees of the Company, as well as officers, directors, attorneys, consultants and other advisors to the Company or affiliated corporations.


Options issued under the Plan are exercisable at a price that is not less than twenty percent (20%) of the fair

market value of such shares (as defined) on the date the options are granted. The non-qualified stock options are generally non-transferable and are exercisable over a period not to exceed ten (10) years from the date of the grant. Earlier expiration is operative due to termination of employment or death of the issue. The entire Plan expired on March 20, 2007, except as to non-qualified stock options then outstanding, which will remain in effect until they have expired or have been exercised. As of December 31, 2009, 1,990,289 shares had been exercised and issued under the Plan.


On November 8, 2006, we filed a Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan, or the Plan, with the SEC. This Plan was intended as an employment incentive, to aid in attracting and retaining persons of experience and ability and whose services are considered valuable to encourage the sense of proprietorship in such persons, and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in our development and success. This Plan provides for the issuance of non-statutory stock options which are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. There were a total of 15,000,000 shares in the Plan at inception; 14,100,000 shares have been issued from the Plan as of December 31, 2010.

We entered into a consulting service agreement with Waterville Associates on March 20, 2007. The agreement called for certain services by Waterville Associates which included: (a) posting information about us on their web site; (b) production of an 8 to 10 page research report providing data on us; and (c) assisting us in the creation of capital to implement our business plan.  We agreed to compensate Waterville for their services by issuing shares of our common stock as these services were performed.  We have not received any of the services by Waterville as outlined in the agreement.  Waterville is seeking a claim for compensation as provided for in the agreement. Although we believe that the lawsuit is without merit we have determined that based on the potential legal fees to mount a defense, especially given the venue of the proceedings it was better to settle this litigation.  Therefore we issued Waterville 2,000,000 shares of Restricted Stock Common Stock as settlement in full.


We entered into a convertible promissory note for $100,000 with Chris Verrone in May 2008.  In June 2008, the note was converted into shares of common stock at the holder’s request.  Subsequently, the individual

requested additional consideration and even though the Company had no obligation to accommodate the request, the Chairman of the Company advanced him $25,000 of his own funds and the Company signed an agreement in September 2008 to pay him an additional $75,000 within 60 days.  We have not been able to meet this deadline and the individual had commenced litigation and received a judgment. This amount has been provided for in the financial statements under t he notes payable.


In January 2005, we entered into a Promissory Note with Market Connexxions, LLC in the amount of $229,365.00.  We have asserted inconsistencies in the terms and conditions of the agreement but had in good faith agreed to settle the Note by issuing shares of their common stock to the holder of the Note.  We are have currently re-started settlement negotiations with the principal and as a result all legal proceedings have been suspended.  We believe that a settlement will be reached within the next 30 days..


In addition to the matter described above, we are involved in various legal actions and claims from time to time, which arise in the normal course of business. In our opinion, the final disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Corporate Governance


Director Attendance at Meetings of the Board of Directors


Our Board of Directors held five meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Each of our incumbent directors attended at least 75.0% of the aggregate total number of meetings of our Board of Directors held during the period for which he served as a director and of the aggregate total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board of Directors on which he served during the periods in which he served.


Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of the Stockholders


Although we have no policy with regard to attendance by the members of our Board of Directors at our annual meetings, we invite and encourage the members of our Board of Directors to attend our annual meetings to foster communication between stockholders and our Board of Directors. We did not have a Board of Directors meeting in 2010; therefore, our directors did not need to attend a meeting.


Stockholder Communication with the Board of Directors


Any stockholder who desires to contact members of our Board of Directors, or a specified committee of our Board of Directors, may do so by writing to: Global Ecology Corporation, Board of Directors, 96 Park Street, Montclair, New Jersey 07042, Attention: Secretary. Communications received will be distributed by our Secretary to such member or members of our Board of Directors as deemed appropriate by our Secretary, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication received.


Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Subject to and subsequent to an appointment or election as an officer or director, the Company provides contractual indemnification.


The Company agrees to indemnify the positions of directors and officers as follows: A director or officer shall not be liable for any claim or demand on account of damages in any manner. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold directors or officers, without limitation, harmless from any and all damages, losses (which shall include any diminution in value), shortages, liabilities (joint or several), payments, obligations, penalties, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, specifically including without limitation, fees, disbursements and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors and of expert witnesses and cost of investigation and preparation. A director or officer will be indemnified from any decision or action taken prior to his or her hire date as a director or officer.  


Board Leadership Structure; Independent Lead Director


Peter Ubaldi serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Joseph Battiato serves as our chairman of the Board of Directors. We have determined that the most effective leadership structure for our company at the present time is for our Chief Executive Officer and our Chairman of the Board of Directors to be served by two separate individual despite the fact that neither one of them is consider an independent director. Our Board of Directors retains the authority to modify this structure to best address our unique circumstances, and so advance the best interests of all shareholders, as and when appropriate. In addition, although we do not have a lead independent director, our Board of Directors believes that the current structure is appropriate, as we have limited operations and just a four employees.






Committees of our Board of Directors


We do not have any standing committees of our Board of Directors due to the size of our company. From time to time our Board of Directors may establish other committees it deems appropriate to address specific areas in more depth than may be possible at a full Board of Directors meeting, provided that a majority of the members of each committee are independent directors.  All functions that would be performed by an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nomination Committee, Corporate Governance Committee or any other committee that our Board of Directors would deem appropriate to convene is currently performed by our Board of Directors, which we believe is the most effective and efficient approach based on the size of our Board of Directors and our current and anticipated operational requirements. As our company grows and when our Board of Directors deems it is appropriate we will expand our board of directors and establish committees to serve various designated functions.


Director Nomination Procedures and Diversity


Our Board of Directors considers such factors as it deems appropriate which may include: the current composition of our Board of Directors; the range of talents of the nominee that would best complement those already represented on our Board Directors; the extent to which the nominee would diversify our Board of Directors; the nominee's standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; a nominee’s ability to represent the long-term interests of our stockholders as a whole; a nominee’s relevant expertise and experience upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management; a nominee who is accomplished in his or her respective field, with superior credentials and recognition; and the need for specialized expertise. While we do not have a formal diversity policy, we believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow our Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities. Applying these criteria, our Board of Directors considers candidates for membership on our Board of Directors suggested by its members, as well as by our stockholders. Members of our Board of Directors annually review our Board of Directors composition by evaluating whether our Board of Directors has the right mix of competencies, skills, experience and backgrounds.


Our Board of Directors identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of our Board of Directors willing to continue in service. Current members of our Board of Directors with skills and experience relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of our Board of Directors does not wish to continue in service or if our Board of Directors decides not to nominate a member for reelection, our Board of Directors will review the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria set forth above.


Our Board of Directors also considers nominees for our Board of Directors recommended by stockholders. Notice of proposed stockholder nominations for our Board of Directors must be delivered in accordance with the requirements set forth in our bylaws and SEC Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Nominations must include the full name of the proposed nominee, a brief description of the proposed nominee’s business experience for at least the previous five years and a representation that the nominating stockholder is a beneficial or record owner of our common stock. Any such submission must be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. Nominations should be delivered to: Global Ecology Corporation, Board of Directors, 96 Park Street, Montclair, New Jersey 07042, Attention: Secretary.


Qualified candidates for membership on our Board of Directors will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, gender, ancestry, national origin or disability. Our Board of Directors recommends the slate of directors to be nominated for election at the annual meeting of stockholders. We have not and do not currently employ or pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate, or assist in identifying or evaluating, potential director nominees.






Board of Directors Role in Risk Oversight


Our Board of Directors oversees our shareholders’ and other stakeholders’ interest in the long-term health and the overall success of our business strategy and its financial strength.


Our Board of Directors is actively involved in overseeing risks associated with our business strategies and decisions. It does so, in part, through its approval of acquisitions and all assumptions of debt and issuances of securities, as well as its oversight of our executive officers. Our Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing risks related to corporate governance and the selection of nominees to our Board of Directors.


Code of Ethics


The Company has not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or controller, or persons performing similar functions.


The Company deferred its adoption of a code of ethics due to events such as the change of control, the Company's contraction, and the refocus of the Company’s business.


The Company is still undergoing several changes to its structure and operating procedures.  It has entered into an industry with products and services of global significance; water purification and soil remediation. For this reason the Company has not completed the adoption of a code of ethics but as soon as it is practical will be posted on the Company’s web site.


Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, generally requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities (10% owners) to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Directors and executive officers and 10% owners are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. During preparation of this filing, we discovered that the reports required by Section 16(a) were not filed in connection with the securities issuances to our officers and directors during fiscal 2010.

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation.


The following table sets forth, for each of the last two fiscal years, compensation paid by the Company in common stock for its Chief Executive Officer, President and Executive Vice-President.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis


Introduction


The Board of Directors approves all compensation and awards to the individuals included on the Summary Compensation Table (the “named executive officers”).  Annually, the Board of Directors reviews the performance and compensation of the chief executive officer, or CEO, and, following discussions with the CEO and, where it deems appropriate, other advisors, modifies executives’ compensation levels for the subsequent year.  For the remaining named executive officers, the CEO makes recommendations to the Board of Directors for approval.


We currently do not have a compensation committee of the Board of Directors. However, the Board of Directors may establish a compensation committee once the company’s operations increase, which would consist of inside directors and independent members. Until a formal committee is established, our Board of Directors will review all forms of compensation provided to our executive officers, directors, consultants and employees including stock compensation and loans


Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives


We work to attract and retain proven, talented executives who we believe will help to put us in the best position for growth and to meet our Company’s objectives.  We attempt to recruit executives with environmental, scientific, technological or other experience that we believe is transferable to our business with the expectation that they will share their knowledge to create and develop a successful organization.  We strive to provide our named executive officers with a compensation package that is competitive for a given position in our industry and geographic region. Due to our limited cash resources we have and may continue to pay our executives in equity in lieu of cash based compensation.  However, as the Company’s generates revenue sufficient enough to compensate our executives through compensation paid in cash, we intend to pay such base salary compensation in cash.  The purpose of our executive compensation program is to provide incentives for our executives to meet or exceed expectations.  We believe our compensation objectives will be achieved through a combination of base salary, incentive bonus, equity compensation and other benefits.  


Elements of Compensation


During 2010, the compensation packages for our named executive officers included only the payment of our chief executive officers base salary which was paid in stock.


On November 22, 2010 the company issued 15,568,925 shares of its common stock to Peter Ubaldi for payment of unpaid wages from January 2010 through October 2010. Mr. Ubaldi’s Employment Contract called for the payment of $208,333 for the 10 month period and we were unable to pay this amount in cash.  Mr. Ubaldi agreed to accept shares of our common stock in lieu of the required cash payment.  The average share price per month for this period would have required a stock issuance of 20,757,727.  However, Mr. Ubaldi agreed to a 25% reduction and was issued 15,568,925 as settlement in full.  






 Stock Plan


On November 8, 2006, we filed a Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This 2006 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan is intended as an employment incentive, to aid in attracting and retaining in the employ or service of GECO and any affiliated corporation, persons of experience and ability and whose services are considered valuable to encourage the sense of proprietorship in such persons, and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and success of GECO. This Plan provides for the issuance of non-statutory stock options which are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  There were a total of 15,000,000 common shares originally in the Plan. As of December 31, 2010, 14,700,000 shares had been issued under the Plan.


Compensation of Directors


No Directors fees were paid during fiscal 2009 or 2010.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.


Related Party Transactions


Our policy regarding transactions with our officers, directors, principal shareholders and their affiliates is that they may be made on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.  All transactions between us and our officers, directors, principal stockholders and their affiliates must be approved by our Audit Committee or a majority of the disinterested directors, and must continue to be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.


For a discussion of related party transactions see Note 10 and 14 to our consolidate financial statements accompanying this Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Director Independence


We have a two-member Board of Directors. Both of our directors, Peter Ubaldi and Joseph Battiato, are affiliated with us and we do not consider them to be independent directors; however, the exchange we are listed on does not have any standards for director independence and due to the current size of the company we do not have nor do we feel it is necessary to have directors which would be considered independent directors.



Item 14. Principal Accountants Fees and Services.


Audit Fees


On October 26, 2009, our board of directors voted to engage W. T. Uniack & Co. CPA’s P.C. as our new independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and quarterly reviews thereon.


Fees for audit services totaled approximately $24,000 and $24,000 in 2010 and 2009, respectively. There were no other fees paid to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.


Audit Related Fees


None.


Tax Fees


None.


All Other Fees


None.






The Board of Directors Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures


We do not have a separate Audit Committee. Our full Board of Directors performs the functions of an Audit Committee.  During fiscal year 2007, the Board of Directors  adopted  policies  and  procedures  for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit  services  for  the  purpose  of  maintaining  the independence of our independent  auditors.  We may not engage our independent auditors to render any audit or non-audit service unless either the service is approved in advance by the Board of Directors or the engagement to render the service is entered into pursuant to the Board of Director's pre-approval policies and procedures. On an annual basis, the Board of Directors may pre-approve services that are expected to be provided to us by the independent auditors during the following twelve months. At  the  time  such  pre-approval  is granted,  the Board of Directors must (1) identify the particular pre-approved services in a sufficient level of detail so that  management  will  not  be  called  upon  to  make judgment as to whether a proposed service  fits  within  the  pre-approved  services and (2) establish a monetary limit with respect to each particular pre-approved service, which limit may  not  be  exceeded  without obtaining further pre-approval under the policy.


The Board has considered whether the provision of the services described above under the caption "All Other Fees" is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.
