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.
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.
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 as of March 31, 2011 was an inactive shell company and became
an operating company with the commencement of operations in Moncks Corner,
South Carolina during the third fiscal quarter. To facilitate the
commencement of operations the Company in April, 2011 formed a wholly
owned subsidiary, Tonmik Import/Export Solutions, Inc.

TIRE INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
The financial statements shown in this report include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary 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 prior operating entity.
b) Company Operations
During the current fiscal year the Company has taken several steps to
further its business objective and as a result the Company has emerged
from inactive to operating status in May, 2011. The Company's operations
were initiated through a series of short term agreements with two
companies that operate and own tire recycling and recycled rubber product
manufacturing equipment. Energy City, LLC ("Energy City") is a scrap tire
collection and tire derived fuel production company which owns tire
collection and shredding equipment purchased from Charles View Transport,
Inc. ("Charlesview"), the prior operator. Energy City has operated a tire
collection, shredding and crumb rubber facility at 1620 Cypress Gardens
Road, Moncks Corner, South Carolina 29461 (the "Moncks Corner Facility")
since December 1, 2010 under a lease agreement. Charlesview remains the
owner of most of the tire recycling and crumb rubber manufacturing
equipment at the Moncks Corner Facility.
The Company's operation currently consists of order fulfillment for
Charlesview from sales generated on an internet web site owned by
Charlesview and through distributors. The Company receives scrap tire
shreds from Energy City which are processed to remove and sell scrap steel
and size, color and package the recycled rubber into the finished products
sold as rubber landscape mulch and rubber playground safety flooring.
In anticipation of its long term operations, the Company has entered into
a Letter of Intent to acquire Viva Recycling of South Carolina, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Viva") which was organized for the purpose of
developing an integrated tire recycling, crumb rubber manufacturing and
molded recycled rubber product business by consolidating the base assets
and companies through a series of acquisitions. Viva's acquisition targets
include Charlesview and Energy City which are licensed to accept and
process waste tires and abatement tires pursuant to contracts with
governmental units, private individuals and other companies and operate
the Moncks Corner Facility. The integrated business of accepting waste
tires, processing waste tires, operating the Moncks Corner Facility and
making molded rubber products, collectively, is the "Core Business".
Viva will utilize the Company's $30.5 million allocation and inducement
resolution for private activity bond issued authorized by the South
Carolina Jobs - Economic Development Authority (the "JEDA Bonds") to
complete the purchases of the assets required for the Core Business. The
merger will be contingent upon Viva being able to close the JEDA Bonds in
the amount of at least $25 million. The proceeds of the JEDA Bonds will be
used by Viva to acquire the 22 acres of land, the 98,000 square foot tire
recycling complex and the related improvements, purchase certain molding
equipment currently located in China, purchase the equipment from Tire Spa
to expand the facility, to pay the JEDA Bond closing costs and fund a debt
service reserve, capitalized interest fund and working capital.

TIRE INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
The Company to facilitate its merger with Viva has negotiated an exclusive
license agreement with a manufacturer of molded recycled rubber finished
products for sale; has negotiated an inventory and equipment consignment
sale agreement with the licensee's bank, has signed a Joint Venture
Agreement providing the required technology with an Italian manufacturer
of recycled rubber molding equipment; has received a $30.5 million
allocation and inducement resolution for the JEDA Bonds; is negotiating
the purchase agreement to acquire the 22 acre and 98,000 square foot tire
recycling facility in South Carolina, is negotiating stock and asset
purchase agreements to acquire Energy City and Charlesview to acquire the
required federal, state and local permits to operate at the Moncks Corner
Facility and the tire recycling equipment needed to manufacture the
Company's new product lines; and has retained the services of Guggenheim
Securities, to assist it in placing the JEDA Bonds. The Company has
received a series of South Carolina and Berkeley County real estate,
personal property, sales and income tax incentives and job training grants
to locate its operations in Berkeley County, SC which the Company expects
will provide the Company reimbursement for costs of up to $1 million and
reduce or eliminate real estate, personal property, sales and income taxes
by over $4 million over the life of the project. The Company is also
working to supply the operations with scrap tires from various locations.
These suppliers will use truck, local South Carolina port facilities and
an on site rail spur to deliver the raw material. All of these agreements
are further described in Notes 8 and 9.
c) 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.
d) Going Concern
As of June 30, 2011, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $4,796,442.
The Company has emerged from its inactive status during May 2011 and
expects to complete its planned acquisitions through Viva and JEDA Bond
financing. During 2010 the Company decided to pursue the development of a
fully integrated tire recycling and recycled rubber finished product
manufacturing business. In February, 2011 the Company identified a
location in Moncks Corner, South Carolina and has received a series of
state and local grants and real estate, personal property, sales and
income tax abatements. The Company is moving forward with its business
plan in South Carolina and became operational in the Company's third
fiscal quarter. The Company is in the process of negotiating a series of
agreements to acquire the facilities and equipment necessary to carry out
its long term business plan. While the completion of these agreements
provide the Company with a portion of the required capital through the
issuance of the Company's common stock, it will need to complete the JEDA
Bond issue, an alternative debt issue or negotiate a long term lease to
pursue its long term business plan. At the time of this report the Company
has only received some of the required approvals from the South Carolina
agencies, therefore, the Company can not complete the agreements and has
not completed the additional capital agreements required to be in full
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.
10
TIRE INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
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 thirty 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.
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 nine months ended June 30,
2011 and 2010.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
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 Antonio Care, 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 was
amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the
life of the Note. $164,500 of the Note was converted on June 27, 2011 by
the Note holder into 16,450,000 shares which were transferred to a series
of individuals in exchange for the transfer of Company obligations due to
these individuals in the amount of $164,500 to the Mr. Care.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company accrued interest
of $32,956 related to the Note. An amount of $326,166 is reflected on the
Company's balance sheets as Convertible note - related parties including
the carrying value of $278,524 disclosed above, as well as accrued
interest to June 30, 2011 totaling $47,642.
As of June 30, 2011 Mr. Antonio Care, an officer and Director of the
Company, had outstanding loans to the Company in the amount of $205,522.
The loans bear 10% interest and are due on demand.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company received operating
funds from two of our shareholders in the amount of $76,191 creating a
balance of loan at March 31, 2011 of $87,191. The loans were transferred
on June 27, 2011by these shareholders to Mr. Antonio Care in exchange for
9,950,000 shares of Company common shares owned by Mr. Care. During the
nine month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company paid the principal in
the amount of $10,000.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company received operating
funds from Tonmik which is wholly owned by Antonio Care, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer in the amount of $29,680. The loans bear 10%
interest and are due on demand.

Inc. were organized for the purpose of conducting electronic commerce on the

recapitalization of I Vision USA 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.
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.
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.

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 as of March 31, 2011 was an inactive shell company and became an
operating company with the commencement of operations in Monks Corner, South
Carolina during the third fiscal quarter. To facilitate the commencement of
operations the Company in April, 2011 formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Tonmik
Import/Export Solutions, Inc.
During the current fiscal year the Company has taken several steps to further
its business objective and as a result the Company has emerged from inactive to
operating status in May, 2011. The Company's operations were initiated through a
series of short term agreements with two companies that operate and own tire
recycling and recycled rubber product manufacturing equipment. Energy City Tire
Recycling, LLC ("Energy City") is a scrap tire collection and tire derived fuel
production company which owns tire collection and shredding equipment purchased
from Charlesview Transport, Inc. ("Charlesview"), the prior operator. Energy
City has operated at the Moncks Corner Facility since December 1, 2010 under a
short term lease agreement. Charlesview remains the owner of most of the tire
recycling and crumb rubber manufacturing equipment at the Moncks Corner
Facility.
The Company's operation currently consists of order fulfillment for Charlesview
from sales generated on an internet web site owned by Charlesview and through
distributors. The Company receives scrap tire shreds from Energy City which are
processed to remove and sell scrap steel and size, color and package the
recycled rubber into the finished products sold as rubber landscape mulch and
rubber playground safety flooring.
In anticipation of its long term operations, the Company has entered into a
Letter of Intent to acquire Viva Recycling of South Carolina, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Viva") which was organized for the purpose of developing an
integrated tire recycling, crumb rubber manufacturing and molded recycled rubber
product business by consolidating the base assets and companies through a series
of acquisitions. Viva's acquisition targets include Charlesview and Energy City
which are licensed to accept and process waste tires and abatement tires
pursuant to contracts with governmental units, private individuals and other
companies and operate a tire collection, shredding and crumb rubber facility at
1620 Cypress Gardens Road, Moncks Corner, South Carolina 29461 (the "Moncks
Corner Facility"). The integrated business of accepting waste tires, processing
waste tires, operating the Moncks Corner Facility and making molded rubber
products, collectively, is the "Core Business".
19
Viva will utilize the Company's $30.5 million allocation and inducement
resolution for private activity bond issued authorized by the South Carolina
Jobs - Economic Development Authority (the "JEDA Bonds") to complete the
purchases of the assets required for the Core Business. The merger will be
contingent upon Viva being able to close the JEDA Bonds in the amount of at
least $25 million. The proceeds of the JEDA Bonds will be used by Viva to
acquire the 22 acres of land, the 98,000 square foot tire recycling complex and
the related improvements, purchase certain molding equipment currently located
in China, purchase the equipment from Tire Spa to expand the facility, to pay
the JEDA Bond closing costs and fund a debt service reserve, capitalized
interest fund and working capital.
The Company to facilitate its merger with Viva has negotiated an exclusive
license agreement with a manufacturer of molded recycled rubber finished
products for sale; has negotiated an inventory and equipment consignment sale
agreement with the licensee's bank, has signed a Joint Venture Agreement
providing the required technology with Tire SpA, an Italian manufacturer of
recycled rubber molding equipment; has received a $30.5 million allocation and

and Charlesview to acquire the required federal, state and local permits to
operate at the Moncks Corner Facility and the tire recycling equipment needed to
manufacture the Company's new product lines; and has retained the services of
Guggenheim Securities, to assist it in placing the JEDA Bonds. The Company has
received a series of South Carolina and Berkeley County real estate, personal
property, sales and income tax incentives and job training grants to locate its
operations in Berkeley County, SC which the Company expects will provide
reimbursement for costs of up to $1 million and reduce or eliminate real estate,
personal property, sales and income taxes by over $4 million over the life of
the project. The Company is also working to supply the operations with scrap
tires from various locations. These suppliers will use truck, local SC port
facilities and an on site rail spur to deliver the raw material.
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, financial media relations and

Effective June 16, 2010, the Company has signed a Joint Venture Agreement (the
"Agreement") with Tires SpA. ("TIRES"), an Italian manufacturer of heavy
industrial processing and recycling equipment. Under the terms of the Agreement,
as part of a purchase by the Company of TIRES proprietary equipment, the Company
will own fifty percent (50%) of the TIRES U.S. patent pending for the TIRES
state-of-the-art tire recycling plant, which patent covers the method and
installation of recycling of used tires for conversion into finished products
(the "Waste to Value Technology") for the North American market. The Agreement
between the Company and TIRES calls for a payment by the Company of 75% cash
from the JEDA Bond proceeds and 25% of the Company common stock on at a deemed
price of $0.50 per share. Therefore the Company will be required to issue up to
a total of 8,160,000 shares of common stock to TIRES if all the TIRES
proprietary equipment is required. 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.
According to the agreement between the parties, if the initial payment was 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 date of July 30, 2010. Currently, there is an amended agreement
extending the payment date to the JEDA Bond closing.
On January 18, 2011, the Company completed a Purchase Agreement with Antonio
Care, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Under the Agreement, the Company
subject to certain conditions is acquiring all of the outstanding stock of
Tonmik Import/Export Solutions, Inc ("Tonmik China"). Tonmik China is a Montreal
based distributor of recycled rubber products to big box retailers that are
currently manufactured using purchased recycled crumb rubber at its facility in
China. Tonmik has been operating its Chinese manufacturing facility for 6 years.
The Company expects to develop a fully integrated scrap-tire-to-finished product
business capitalizing on the consumer demand for Tonmik China finished product
order flow that could not be met with the Tonmik Chinese facilities. Tonmik
China could not deliver the required conditions precedent to close this
transaction and as a result the Company has terminated the Agreement.
During April 2011, the Company negotiated an exclusive license agreement with
Tonmik China, to manufacture the Tonmik China Product Line in the United States,
which will allow the Company produce these products at its South Carolina
operations. The Company has also negotiated an inventory and equipment
consignment sale agreement with Tonmik China's bank to sell all of the inventory
and equipment owned by Tonmik China through its distribution channels.
On February 10, 2011, the Company completed an Investment Banking Engagement
Agreement with Stone & Youngberg, LLC ("Stone"). Under the Agreement, the
Company has retained Stone 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. On
March 17, 2011, the Company terminated this agreement to sign a similar
agreement with another Investment Banker.
On March 17, 2011, the Company entered into 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 Guggenheim of a privately placed corporate
obligation non-rated debt financing with net proceeds of $20 million for the
Project. The Company evaluated proposed Projects with Guggenheim in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and South Carolina to select the Moncks Corner, South Carolina
facility for the Company's tire recycling and finished product manufacturing
business. The Company has received an allocation and inducement resolution for
up to $30.5 million of JEDA Bonds. The Company, as part of the Project, is
expecting to arrange $10 million in new equity capital to support the debt
financing. The Company will also pay Guggenheim for expenses incurred under the
Agreement.
21
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had limited cash. Management estimates it will
need $30,000,000 over the next six month period to meet its current business
plan and to close on its planned merger with Viva. The funds will be expended as
follows:
o $25,000,000 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 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.
On March 17, 2011, the Company entered into 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 Guggenheim of a privately placed corporate
obligation non-rated debt financing with net proceeds of $20 million for the
Project. The Company evaluated proposed Projects with Guggenheim in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and South Carolina to select the Moncks Corner, South Carolina
facility for the Company's tire recycling and finished product manufacturing
business. The Company has received an allocation and inducement resolution for
up to $30.5 million of JEDA Bonds. The Company, as part of the Project, is
expecting to arrange $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 limited commitments for funding and it cannot be known
whether the Company will be successful in raising the required funds to allow
them to finalize 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 completed financing agreements with any alternative
sources. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.

Interest Expense increased from $42,606 for the three months ended June 30, 2010
to $88,388 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in interest
was primarily due to the conversion of a non-interest bearing loan payable to a

note included the amortization of $74,243 and accrued interest of $10,465.

related party loans from the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

proposed tire recycling and recycled rubber finished product manufacturing
business and currently expensed consulting fees of $99,000 resulting from the

Company to work exclusively with Guggenheim Securities, LLC to provide
investment banking services for the South Carolina project and an increase in
interest from $48,800 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 to $336,766 for

interest charge associated with this convertible note included the amortization
of $295,755 and accrued interest of $32,956. Additional accrued interest of
