NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a) Organization
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
February 19, 1986 with authorized common stock of 10,000,000 shares with
par value of $0.0025. On April 25, 1998 the authorized common stock was
increased to 100,000,000 shares with a change in par value to $0.001 and
on February 9, 1999 the Company changed its name to IVision Group Ltd. On
April 15, 1998 the Company completed a reverse common stock split of two
shares of its outstanding stock for one share and on January 8, 1999 a
forward common stock split of one share of outstanding stock for four
shares. This report has been prepared showing after stock split shares
with a par value of $0.001 from inception. On January 27, 1999, the
Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of I Vision USA Inc. through
a stock for stock exchange in which the stockholders of I Vision USA Inc.
received 8,000,000 common shares of the Company in exchange for all of the
stock of I Vision USA Inc. I Vision USA Inc. was organized in the state of
Delaware on December 15, 1998 and had purchased all of the outstanding
stock of I Vision Integral Inc. which was organized in Canada during March
1998. I Vision USA Inc. and I Vision Integral Inc. were organized for the
purpose of conducting electronic commerce on the World Wide Web. For
reporting purposes, the acquisition was treated as an acquisition of the
Company by I Vision USA Inc. (reverse acquisition) and a recapitalization
of I Vision USA Inc. The historical financial statements prior to January
27, 1999 are those of I Vision USA Inc. and its subsidiary I Vision
Integral Inc. During September 1999, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding stock of La Societe De Services, Bergeron Conseils Et
Realisation Inc., and Ixiem Production Inc. by the issuance of 234,000
shares of its common stock and a promissory note of $150,000 CDN. This
debt was settled for stock and the companies have since been discontinued
or abandoned.
The financial statements shown in this report include the accounts of the
Company as outlined in the notes above. These financial statements are
presented from the inception date of December 15, 1998 which was the date
of incorporation of I Vision U.S.A, Inc. as this company was the last
operating entity.
During fiscal year 2003, the Company and its subsidiaries ceased
operations and on April 1, 2004, the Company divested itself of all of its
subsidiaries by way of a divestiture agreement whereby the Company
transferred all of the shares of the subsidiaries in exchange for the
assumption of all of the outstanding debt of the subsidiaries. The impact
of these divestitures on the balance sheet of the Company was to
substantially reduce the outstanding liabilities.
On December 21, 2006, the Company issued a total of 500,000 post split
common shares pursuant to a debt settlement agreement between the Company
and Mr. Antonio Care. This issuance of shares effected a change in control
of the Company.
On February 8, 2007, the Company effected a reverse split of its shares of
common stock on the basis of 1 new share for every 100 shares held at the
time of the reverse split. Concurrent with the reverse split of its shares
the Company changed its name to Tire International Environmental Solutions
Inc.
On March 13, 2007, the Company issued a total of 4,900,000 common shares
at a deemed price of $0.001 per share in settlement of a total of $49,000
in related party debt. The related party required the shares be issued to
a total of 14 stockholders.
On December 7, 2007, the Company issued a total of 2,805,000 common shares
at a deemed price of $0.001 per common share in settlement of a total of
$28,050 in related party debt. The related party required the shares be
issued to a total of 14 stockholders.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
On December 1, 2010, the Company entered into a three-month term
consulting contract with HAWK Associates Inc. ("HAWK"), an investor
relations and consulting firm. HAWK provides investor relations, finical
media relations and other appropriate consulting and advisory services. In
consideration for such services, HAWK: (i) will be paid a retainer fee per
month; (ii) will be paid a one-time cash setup fee of $2,000; and HAWK
will accept as payment per month for their retainer fee the following: (i)
$2,000 in cash payment and (ii) 6,000 shares of restricted Rule 144 stock,
priced at the closing price of the stock on the effective date of the
contract. On December 1, the Company paid $4,000 in cash and issued a
total of 18,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company for cash
consideration valued at $3,600.
On December 1, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting contract with
Aquiline Group Inc. ("AQUILINE"), a full service public relations and
consulting firm dedicated to the peak performance of private and public
companies. AQUILINE was to provide services for consulting, business
advisory, shareholder information and public/investor relations. In
consideration for such services, AQUILINE: (i) will be paid a retainer fee
of $50,000 per month; and (ii) will issue a total of 120,000 shares of
restricted common stock of the Company per quarter. The term of the
contract began on December 1, 2010 and ending December 15, 2010 when
services were minimized from December 18, 2010 and resumed on January 3,
2011 in observation of national holidays. The contract will continue and
renew quarterly until terminated in accordance with certain terms. On
December 1, 2010 the Company paid $50,000 in cash and issued a total of
120,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company. On January 10,
2011 the Company terminated the AQUILINE consulting contract for lack of
performance. The shares issued were valued at $24,000.
On December 1, 2010 the Company changed its stock transfer agent to Island
Stock Transfer ("Island") and as a payment in lieu of cash issued 25,000
shares of restricted common stock. Island provides stock transfer agent
and related services to the Company. The shares issued were valued at
$5,000.
The Company has been seeking acquisitions since it discontinued
operations. During 2010 the Company determined it would focus its effort
in the tire recycling and recycled rubber finished product manufacturing
industry. The Company has taken several steps to further this business
objective including signing a purchase agreement to acquire all of the
equity securities of Tonmik Import Export Solutions, Inc., a manufacturer
of recycled rubber finished products in China for sale to big box
retailers further described in Note 8 and signing a Joint Venture
Agreement with an Italian manufacturer of tire recycling and recycled
rubber molding equipment further described in Note 8. The Company has also
retained the services of Guggenheim Securities, LLC as described in Note 8
to assist it in evaluating facilities in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
South Carolina for locating its new business venture and in raising debt
and equity financing for the selected facility. The Company ended its
consulting services arrangements with three prior advisors to work
exclusively with Guggenheim and to focus on the current opportunities and
as a result has in the three months ended December 31, 2010 expensed
$99,000 in consulting fees.
The Company as of December 31, 2010 is an inactive shell company, but will
become an operating company upon the completion of the Tonmik acquisition
or the commencement of operations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania or South
Carolina.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
b) Basis of presentation
On November 3, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company, by quorum,
approved a change of the fiscal year end from December 31 to September 30
effective as of November 3, 2010. The change was made to align its fiscal
periods more closely with the seasonality of its business and improve
comparability with industry peers.
c) Going Concern
As of December 31, 2010, the Company has an accumulated deficit of
$4,390,211 and remains in the development stage due to its lack of
business operations. The Company has entered into a Joint Venture
agreement and a Purchase Agreement to acquire Tonmik Import Export
Solutions, Inc. The Company has decided to pursue the development of a
fully integrated tire recycling and recycled rubber finished product
manufacturing business. It will need to raise substantial capital to
pursue its business plan, complete its joint venture agreement and the
acquisition of Tonmik. At the time of this report no capital has been
raised for operations. These factors create an uncertainty about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized in accordance with applicable accounting
standards under which product revenues (or service revenues) are
recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery
has occurred (or service has been performed), the sales price is fixed
and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with
original maturities of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
c) Comprehensive Income
Since 1999, the Company adopted ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income", for the
reporting of comprehensive income and its components.
d) Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under
this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on the differences between the financial and tax bases of assets
and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates
and laws. ASC 740 requires recording a valuation allowance against
deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is
more likely than not that some or all of its deferred tax assets will
not be realized.
e) Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on
a diminishing balance basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets, generally five to seven years. Trademarks and patents are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of twenty years.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred.
Betterments and renewals are capitalized.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
f) Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities,
and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from
the estimates that were assumed in preparing the financial statements.
g) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per
share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and
common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common
equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock
warrants.
h) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The
allowance is based upon management's periodic analysis of receivables,
evaluation of current economic conditions and other pertinent factors.
Ultimate losses may vary from current estimates and, as additions to the
allowance become necessary, they are charged against earnings in the
period they become known. Losses are charged and recoveries are credited
to the allowance.
i) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets using
future undiscounted cash flows attributed to such asset. The company
recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book
value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows
attributable to such assets.
j) Advertising Costs
The Company recognizes advertising expense on the cost of communication
advertising in the period in which the advertising space or airtime is
used. There were no advertising costs for the three months ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009.
k) Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and
accounts receivable. Cash is deposited with high credit, quality
financial institutions. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and
are derived from revenues earned from customers located throughout the
United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses;
historically, such losses have been within management's expectations.
l) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments, including cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and long-term obligations
are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of the
short-term maturity of these instruments.

NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed recent accounting pronouncements and determined they will have
no present or future impact on our business.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS
I. Stockholder loans:
On June 12, 2010, pursuant to a letter of default on accounts payable owed
to a Director and Officer of the Company, the Company restructured its
related party outstanding accounts payable totaling $443,024 as of March
31, 2010. The accounts payable was restructured to a one year, 10%
interest bearing convertible promissory note ('Note") dated June 1, 2010
and due on May 31, 2011. The conversion price of the Note is $0.01. As of
June 12, 2010, using the guidance provided in ASC 470-20-25, we evaluated
the Note and concluded that the convertible promissory note has an
embedded beneficial conversion feature. The embedded beneficial conversion
feature was valued and had been recognized as additional paid-in-capital
by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of
the feature. The resulting discount on the Note is amortized to interest
expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Note.
The carrying value and terms of the Note is as following:
December 31, 2010
Face value due May 31, 2011 $ 443,024
Less: Unamortized discount (183,782)
--- ------------------
Carrying value: $ 259,242
During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company accrued
interest of $25,854 related to the Note. An amount of $285,096 is
reflected on the Company's balance sheets as Convertible note - related
parties including the carrying value of $259,242 disclosed above, as well
as accrued interest to December 31, 2010 totaling $25,854.
As of December 31, 2010 Mr. Antonio Care, an officer and Director of the
Company, had outstanding loans to the Company in the amount of $40,023.
The loans bear 10% interest and are due on demand. As of December 31,
2010, the Company accrued interest in the amount of $2,432.
During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company received
operating funds from two of our shareholders in the amount of $76,191
creating a balance of loan at December 31, 2010 of $87,191. The loans bear
10% interest and are due on demand. As of December 31, 2010, the Company
accrued interest in the amount of $722. During the three month period
ended December 31, 2010, the Company paid the principal in the amount of
$10,000.
During December 31, 2010, the Company received operating funds from Tonmik
which is wholly owned by Antonio Care, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer in the amount of $22,180. The loans bear 10% interest and are due
on demand.

II. Consulting Services and Employment Contacts
On April 16, 2010, Mr. Dean Petkanas joined the Board of Directors of the
Company and on June 11, 2010, Mr. Dean Petkanas was appointed Interim
Chief Operating Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
During the two month period from April 1, 2010 to June 1, 2010, Mr.

recycling and recycled rubber finished product manufacturing industry. The
Company has taken several steps to further this business objective including
signing a purchase agreement to acquire all of the equity securities of Tonmik
Import Export Solutions, Inc., a manufacturer of recycled rubber finished

Agreement with an Italian manufacturer of tire recycling and recycled rubber
20

consulting fees.

become an operating company upon the completion of the Tonmik acquisition or the
commencement of operations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania or South Carolina.

opportunities in the tire recycling business, having identified a technology
that management believes is the next generation of tire recycling equipment for
removal of harmful waste tire stockpiles and the production of finely crafted
value added products, both of which are much needed in the fast growing green
technology and tire recycling industry. In furtherance of this business
decision, the Company has entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the
"Agreement") with TIRES SpA ("TIRES"), an Italian manufacturer of heavy
industrial processing and recycling equipment. Effective June 16, 2010, the
Company has signed a Joint Venture Agreement (the "Agreement") with Tires SpA

The above amounts reflected in USD for the payment of this joint venture
agreement are subject to change dependent upon the fluctuation of the exchange
rates between the Euro and the U.S. dollar. Upon the issuance of the first
shares to TIRES, TIRES shall have the right to appoint a representative to the
Board of Directors of the Company. The issuance of shares to TIRES may effect a
change in control of the Company, dependent upon whether Mr. Care has converted
his shares under his convertible note and whether all of the shares as required
under the above contract with TIRES are issued.
According to the agreement between the parties, if the initial payment is not
made by July 30, 2010, the contract will be null and void. The Company
negotiated with several potential funders but was not be able to make the
payment on July 30, 2010. Currently, there is a verbal agreement to extend the
payment date to June 16, 2011.
The Company will be seeking land on which to construct the plant as required
under the agreement.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31,2010,the Company had limited cash. Management estimates it
will need $35,000,000 over the next nine month period to meet its current
business plan and to close on the joint venture agreement. The funds will be
expended as follows:
o $30,000,000 to finalize the purchase or lease of land, building and
improvements required to develop its the tire recycling and recycled
rubber finished product manufacturing facility, equip the facility
with the required recycling and manufacturing equipment which may
include all cash payments to be made under the Joint Venture Agreement
with TIRES and the costs of financing,
o $5,000,000 for general working capital which will include as yet
undetermined amount of management fees, general and administration
expenses including legal, accounting and audit.
Management is currently attempting to raise funds by way of either equity or
loans. The Company has entered into Investment Banking Agreements to assist in
the raising of the required debt and equity.
On February 10, 2011 the Company completed an Investment Banking Engagement
Agreement with Guggenheim Securities, LLC ("Guggenheim"). Under the Agreement,
the Company has retained Guggenheim to act as sole manager for the anticipated
debt financing for the Company's new US tire recycling and finished product
manufacturing project (the "Project"). Compensation under the Agreement is based
on the successful completion by Stone of a privately placed corporate obligation
non-rated debt financing with net proceeds of $20 million for the Project. The
debt financing may qualify for tax exempt status in the Project state. The
Company is evaluating proposed Projects with Guggenheim in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and South Carolina to determine the most suitable host facility for
the Company's tire recycling and finished product manufacturing business. The
Company, as part of the Project, is arranging for $10 million in new equity
capital to support the debt financing. The Company will also pay Guggenheim for
expenses incurred under the Agreement.
At this time there are no commitments for funding and it cannot be known whether
they will be successful in raising any funds to allow them to finalize the joint
venture agreement and pursue their business plan. Should they not be successful,
the Company would again be seeking acquisition opportunities and would revert
back to shell company status. Management believes that the funds required to
maintain minimal operations of regulatory filings will be available by way of
loans from related parties, however, there is not a legal obligation for either
management or stockholders to provide additional future funding. Should they
fail to provide financing, the Company has not identified any alternative
sources. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the three month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009: The
Company had no revenues for the three month periods ended December 31, 2010 and
2009.
23
Total expenses for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 were $159,826
as compared to $8,892 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase
in expenses was mainly related to an increase in salaries of $32,500 as
executives have been brought into the company to focus on the development of the
Company's proposed tire recycling and recycled rubber finished product
manufacturing business and currently expensed consulting fees of $99,000
resulting from the termination of non performing investment banking consultants
to allow the Company to work exclusively with Guggenheim Securities, LLC in
analyzing proposed Projects in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South Carolina and
an increase in interest from $4,649 (2009) to $124,735 (2010). The increase in
interest was primarily due to the conversion of a non-interest bearing loan
payable to a convertible promissory note bearing interest at 10% per annum.
During the three months ended December 31, 2010 the interest charge associated
with this convertible note included the amortization of $111,973 and accrued
interest of $11,167. Additional accrued interest of $1,599 was recorded as a
result of a series of related party loans from the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and two shareholders. The Company expects to convert from shell status
to an operating company during the current fiscal year as it enters the tire
recycling and recycled rubber finished product manufacturing business, but will
continue to incur losses during the start up and construction period of it new
facilities through the year ended September 30, 2011.
Loss per share for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $.03
and $.00, respectively.
