PART I
Business Overview
We are in the business of developing, producing, and marketing high performance fire extinguishing and prevention products that are based on environment friendly and biological formulations.
We intend to build a leading position within the niche of environmentally friendly fire fighting and prevention solutions in the United States and internationally, both through organic growth and the acquisition of complementary companies and patents. We believe the time is right for our products. The general emphasis on environmental protection and the increased focus on health hazards in chemicals used in conventional fire fighting products paves the way for the substitution of chemical-based fire combatant products with “greener,” non-harmful products.
For this strategy to become a viable one, we have collaborated with Indonesian corporation Hartindo Industries. We are a preferred partner of Hartindo Industries, with Hartindo Saudi as its principal supply partner for logistical reasons. Hartindo Industries and its founder have developed an unparalleled line of biological extinguishing and retardant formulations, which we have utilized as a basis for our proprietary application innovations. We have also acted as an exclusive partner in the sales and marketing of the biological bulk product line of Hartindo Industries.
Fire extinguishers available on the market today mainly use dry chemical powder, chemical foam, CO2 or halon type of gaseous media as bases. These products in general will extinguish fires with a varying efficacy, but most also contain chemical substances that harm the environment or compose a hazard to people. In addition, they can be messy and damage metals (corrosion), increasing the collateral damage. Our products offer water-based clean alternatives which are completely harmless to humans and the environment, and are non-toxic. Combined with their exceptional extinguishing characteristics, we believe these products point to the future of professional and personal fire fighting. In conventional forest fire fighting, the primary media is water which offers good extinguishing power, but has some drawbacks: it must be used in large quantities; it evaporates relatively quickly; and has a short lifespan in hot environments. Chemical AFFF foams and agents are often used to enhance the fire extinguishing or retardant capabilities, but these chemicals affect the environment and leave long-lasting toxic residue. The toxins found in foams accumulate in the food-chain and are detectable in human organs. We believe our products will have no such negative effect upon life.
Our primary focus for 2012 and 2013 is the production and market penetration of our proprietary Bioflamex aerosol extinguishers intended for everyday consumers. We are now preparing the first production batches. The collaboration agreement with our key partner and supplier of core raw materials (biological fire extinguishing/retardant media), Hartindo Saudi, has been drafted but not yet finalized. We also have a draft agreement, not yet finalized, with our aerosol production partner, Dansoll A/S. The collaboration agreement with our key partner and supplier of core raw materials (biological fire extinguishing/retardant media), Hartindo Saudi, has been drafted. We also have an agreement in place with our aerosol production partner, Dansoll A/S. We have acquired the core raw materials needed for production.
Parallel to this, we have commenced the closing of key distribution agreements and we are focused on the sales and marketing of our aerosol products to consumer and business segments. We intend to submit UL and DIN certifications for our products during June-August 2012. These certifications will enable us to effectuate sales and deliveries to key clients and partners in the U.S., Europe and selected Asian markets.
We have
submitted a patent application for our Bioflamex aerosols in January 2011 to ensure the security of our intellectual property
rights and enhance the market response to our product propositions. We expect to have more information on the patent process during
Q3 2012. We plan to build a solid portfolio of intellectual property within the “clean tech” fire prevention industry.
3 |
Due to the death of our key partner in the development and completion of the Sentinel forest fire detection and suppression system, the process of producing a prototype of the system for testing and certification has been delayed, and we are currently exploring alternative partners to build and/or supply the thermal/infrared fire detection units. The most probable partner will be Hartindo Saudi and its parent corporation Hartindo Industries Malaysia. Due to the above we expect to submit the patent application for this product during Q4 2012/Q1 2013.
Our Products
Our main products can be divided into two main product types: fire extinguishers (fight fires once they start) and fire retardants (fight fires before they start). Our product range is set forth in the figure below. The scope of business covered by the product range is diverse and targets professional markets, business to business markets and consumer markets across the globe.
Of the various industry segments, we focus our business on biological fire fighting. The table below depicts the various industry segments, those industry segments we intend to engage in, and the types of extinguishers and retardants we expect to develop in those segments.
4 |
Given that most current fire fighting- and prevention methods contain toxins and chemicals that can harm humans, animals, and entire ecosystems, there is a real market requirement for more eco-friendly fire fighting methods. In that space, there are small number of independent companies, usually limited in geographic scope and characterized by entrepreneurship and a limited product range. We believe that we are well-positioned to take a significant role in a relatively new “clean” niche of the market. We intend to capture market share by organic growth and from acquisitions to make us the foremost player in this segment.
Extinguishers
Small Scale Extinguishers:
Our Bioflamex aerosol extinguisher is a water-based portable fire extinguishing product that has been designed to put out oil and grease fires. We have dubbed the concept as “the potential Red Bull of the fire fighting industry.” Bioflamex has been developed as a user friendly, efficient and safe supplement to conventional fire fighting means. Anyone can easily use Bioflamex to quickly and efficiently extinguish dangerous and potentially fatal frying oil or cooking fat kitchen fires.
Our Bioflamex aerosol extinguisher has been in development for a considerable period of time, with the assistance of the Copenhagen Fire Department and the aerosol producer Dansoll A/S. Following a series of trials and tests the developers have created the perfect combination of the extinguishing media, the bottle, the nozzle, the propellant and the pressure.
The proprietary extinguishing media used from Hartindo Industries is based on a biological formula that is composed of a mix of water, natural potassium, salt combinations and plant root extracts in combinations with a concentrated foaming agent. The contents are under pressure in the can and the propellant is recycled CO2.
Bioflamex is characterized by its significant “clean” extinguishing performance, as well as easy and convenient handling. The biological formulation provide some benefits outside the pure extinguishing attributes, namely the benefits of less collateral damage and clean-up after use. It is non-toxic, non-corrosive and bio degradable.
5 |
The Bioflamex formula provides 2 significant performance criteria: The biological additive ensures quick knock-down of flames; and the special foam formulation creates a cover that prevents re-ignition of flames, especially relevant when combating oil based fires.
Bioflamex comes in 2 different sized bottles:
· | 650 ml for home and professional use in conjunction with cooking (kitchens, grill) |
· | 1000ml for use in boats, cars, camping etc. |
In the 650 ml bottles for kitchen use, the product contains a heavy foam concentration which is developed to tackle Class F/K fire types, i.e. frying oils and fats used in conjunction with cooking.
The larger 1000 ml bottle is ideal for more all-round emergency/first response extinguishing use. It contains a smaller amount of foam, and is suited for engine fires in cars/boats and Class A/B fire types, i.e. on dry matter such as textiles, wood etc.
Both versions of our Bioflamex aerosol extinguisher bottles are scheduled to be submitted for UL approval in Q3 2012. We intend to launch the product in the U.S. market during Q3-Q4 2012.
Consequently, the Bioflamex products can be targeted towards both the private consumer market as well as small businesses.
The product highlights are as follows:
· An easy way to extinguish even deep frying oil fires quickly. One bottle of Bioflamex will extinguish a 365 degrees celcius deep frying oil pan on fire in 2-5 seconds. · The same performance applies to an oil fire in an engine, e.g. on a boat or in a car. The bottle is easy to handle and use as it works as a normal aerosol bottle. · Security against re-ignition. Bioflamex contains a combination of a fire extinguishing media and PFC-free foam, thus both putting out the fire and preventing re-ignition, by creating a protective layer on the surface of the oil. · Less property and material damage. Bioflamex is safe to use and contains no corrosive ingredients, as opposed to certain chemical extinguishing media. This prevents serious damage to metals, e.g. in kitchens and engines. · Easy clean-up. Bioflamex can be removed by using ordinary cleaning products and requires no special safety precautions. This also reduces the potential total costs of a fire. · An biological solution. Bioflamex contains a biological extinguishing media, based on a combination of natural salts and plant extracts. This reduces the environment impact as 98% of the media is biodegradable within 7 days. The propellant is carbonic acid known from sparkling water. · A biological heavy duty foam concentrate that reduces the environmental impact and reinforces the uniqueness of this versatile and effective remedy against kitchen and car fires.
|
We believe this product is an ideal and vital product for private households, and boat and car owners for the growing United States market. It is the right product to always have handy in the kitchen, in the boat, in the auto camper or in the car.
6 |
Large Scale Extinguishers:
Conventional extinguishing products will be based on the current manufactured products by Hartindo Saudi, adjusted to meet EU and U.S. standards. These products provide a viable and sustainable alternative to conventional products in terms of performance, environment and health. They have been tested extensively by professional institutes, and have proven to be radical improvement over extinguishers available on the market today.
Using the same base Hartindo Industries formulations of biological additives and foam, BioflamexCorp will also enter the market for conventional fire-sized extinguishers, i.e. the 2, 3 and 6 liter EN-3 types.
The formulation ensures effective extinguishing performance against Class A, B and C fires, providing a broad base of usage in circumstances such as small wildfires and urban residential buildings.
Ideal users would be businesses, offices, hotels and public spaces where fire regulations dictate fire extinguishers as part of the general fire safety and emergency plan.
We believe the biological water based extinguisher type will gain market share and revenue on account of substitution for existing chemical foam and chemical powder extinguishers.
Bulk Extinguishers:
The bulk products are suited large-scale extinguishing tasks such as fighting fires on professional equipment and tankers, or forest fire fighting.
|
The solutions can be tailored to fit various needs of professional fire fighting organizations and large business operations, forest fire fighting and prevention, chemical compounds, oil and gas installations and storage facilities.
The Hartindo extinguisher formulations have proven to be extremely efficient in fighting heavy fuel fires, such as diesel oil, petroleum and jet fuel, especially in combination with systems like IFEX. Since the properties of the product enable the use of less fluids to put out a fire it reduces damage to machines and property.
Through a series of tests, the products demonstrated unparalleled extinguishing power, reducing both the consumption of solution, collateral damage and the burden on the environment. Some examples are as follows:
· | A mock-up aircraft-engine fire was extinguished with only 13 liters of foam in under 120 seconds. |
· | A full blaze car fire was extinguished with only 7 liters of foam in under 2 minutes. |
These cases show that we can provide users dramatic reductions in direct costs of operations, both in terms of manpower and materials.
The biological ingredients are non-toxic and non-corrosive, posing no threat to human beings. In gaseous form they can even act as direct replacement of Halon and other chemical substances.
We have developed a plan, in collaboration with Hartindo Saudi, to create further interest amongst fire fighting organizations in the Nordic region, in substituting conventional chemical foam types with the biological alternatives we carry. We expect this project to commence Q3 2012 with basic trials in Copenhagen and Malmö, Sweden.
7 |
In various formulations, Bioflamex’s bulk extinguishers can be used for:
· | Oil and gas industries (class A, B, C, D and K fires) |
· | Professional systems for Fire brigades |
· | Wood and forest fires (class A, C) |
· | Rubber fires |
· | Trains and busses |
· | Furniture and textiles |
· | Natural gas and oil plants |
· | Telecom facilities |
· | Industrial machines |
· | Shipping |
Fire Retardants
Industrial retardants:
A fire retardant inhibits fire from being nurtured in textiles, wood, insulation materials etc., and therefore obstructs fires from erupting or spreading. Many different industrial types of fire retardants exist today, but many contain chemicals or compounds that may be harmful to people, the environment or materials - bromides have been banned due to some of these reasons.
Every year over thousands are killed or seriously wounded in fires. Often fires are caused by cigarettes, decorations, open fire or electrical malfunctions. The typical places for fires to start are in kitchens, living rooms, meeting rooms and bedrooms, where furniture or textiles catch fire. The risk of a fire is especially pronounced during Christmas, where the use of candles and dry decorations are a real threat.
We market the industrial retardants under the brand name SAFIRE®. Due to their effectiveness and harmless eco-friendly components, SAFIRE® fire retardants can ensure that a damaging fire becomes a less likely event both at home and in the office.
All SAFIRE® products are based on Hartindo Industries’ 100% biological components, which contain fire inhibiting capabilities. This makes it possible to treat textiles, wood and insulation materials in a safe and environment friendly way. SAFIRE® not only slows down the spread of fire, but in most instances completely prevents ignition.
The active ingredients are mainly composed of salt combinations and extracts. The remaining substance is water, used to ensure that the active ingredients are absorbed in the fibers or mass.
|
We are working with Hartindo Industries to create proprietary applications that ultimately pave way for patents; experience shows that the retardants need to be contained in readymade/ready to use solutions to end users, and this opens up for a wide spectrum of product development and innovation which we will pursue the coming years.
8 |
Forest Fire Prevention Retardants:
Forest fires are certain to proliferate in the coming decades, due to climate changes especially in the United States, Spain, Greece, France, and Australia.
The number of wildfires in the United States range from 60,000-75,000 annually costing more than US$1.4 billion in direct damages, but long term effects on ecosystems and personal lives are far beyond that number
In the past few years, California has experienced a number of fires, with increasing intensity and property damage. In 2008 alone, extensive wildfire events led to both civilian casualties and casualties amongst the fire fighting units combating the fires, and led to State of Emergency called by the President. Such events are recurring and have an ever more pronounced effect on the environment and urban planning, as fires draw closer to urbanized/residential areas.
For most government agencies in the United States and globally, the emphasis has now been put on prevention of forest wildlife fires to erupt, and improved preventative measures to reduce risks, especially in “high seasons” of March, July and August.
We provide an eco friendly and highly effective solution to promote better forest fire prevention. We work on several levels to develop new methods to enhance fire protection in the high risk areas, and to improve protection of residential/industrial compounds/facilities, in collaboration with our partners.
Our plan is to promote and develop:
- The biological fire retardant AF31 from Hartindo Industries that is effective for up to 2-3 months after application to vegetation, acting as passive “fire barriers” that can protect areas of high risk. It is the intention that forest fire services can utilize the product before fire breaks out, for example covering areas around camping sites. The product is also intended to be used to reinforce safe zones and fire breaks as the event unfolds.
- A residential fire detection and suppression concept where garden facility services companies offer to protect the perimeter of private or business compounds, by spraying the fire retardant onto vegetation around perimeter at relevant intervals.
- A business fire detection and suppression concept where the fire retardant is used in fixed detection and suppression systems, that protect sensitive installations such as mobile antennas located in forest areas, to reduce commercial loss in the event of fires.
Internationally, wildfires compose an equally threatening phenomenon. It is believed that in Spain alone, the incidents will increase from about 25,000 fires a year up to about 50,000 in a years to come due to dryer and warmer climate – or if the number of incidents do not escalate, then the intensity is believed to increase with larger burnt area per fire incident. “Desertification” is a real threat to many areas as a result of this, contributing to further climate warming in local and regional areas. The same trend is applicable to Australia, which has experienced an increasing number of uncontrollable wildfires that approach urban areas such as Melbourne and Sydney, causing extensive damage and casualties.

Our main products have a base consisting of biological water based solutions, either by itself or in combination with specialized foam types.
We work with a range of key partners for product development and production:
- Hartindo Saudi / Hartindo Industries Indonesia
- Dansoll A/S in Denmark (production of aerosols)
- PL Brandteknik (product development consultancy)
- Prime Solutions in Spain/US (Sentinel fire detection and suppression system)
- Paper Manufacturer TBD (fire protected cardboard boxes)
- Insulation Manufacturer TBD (fire protected wall/roof insulation and panelling)
The outcome of our product development efforts will result in BioflamexCorp taking full or partial intellectual property rights on product concepts and formulations. Below is a summary of the most imminent patent application we would like to submit to ensure protection of those rights. The first two could be submitted as one general application, as the basic formulations are more or less the same, except that foam concentrations vary.
- Bioflamex Extinguishing Foam Spray (Aerosol) for Kitchen Use
The Patent Application Number 1100255.7 registered at the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) at Concept House, Cardiff Road, Newport, South Wales, United Kingdom covers this patent. We are currently in the process of filing a counterpart patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Basically, the kitchen related Bioflamex product consists of 88% biologic water based fire extinguishing solution (appx 40% active ingredients, 60% water) combined with a 10-15% eco-friendly foam concentrate.
This formulation is designed to generate knock-down on even high temperature oil/fats fire and prevent reigniting, as the foam forms a protective layer allowing the liquid to cool down.
The packaging itself also contain a special process, utilizing recycled CO2 for the pressurization, a special nozzle for the distribution of extinguishing liquid and foam and a low pressure level, which is designed to avoid exaggerated splashing of the burning liquid.
- Bioflamex Extinguishing Foam Spray (Aerosol) for General Use
As above, but with less foam, higher pressure and a different nozzle for longer range.
- SAFIRE Forest Fire Break Solution
This is a water based biological solution with active ingredients (appx 60% water and 40% salts, citric compunds, natural polymers/binders) designed to protect live vegetation against ignition. Patent application is planned for the end of 2012/start of 2013, as the detection unit needs further development.
The salts and natural compounds are designed to slow down or prevent ignition of the vegetation. The biological binder has the purpose of ensuring that the retardant stays on vegetation for up to 2 months, and thus enabling the product to be used as a preventive measure around facilities in areas prone to fires.
The purpose of the product is to create or enforce fire breaks, which will slow down or hinder spread of forest fire. The application can be by ordinary tenders (tankers with hoses) airplane or other dispersement systems.
10 |
- Fire Protected Cardboard Boxes (with Partner)
This product concept is for implementation into the production process of carton and paper materials. Patent application is not due before the end of 2012 as new partners must be identified.
The water based Hartindo Industries fire retardant is mixed with the paper pulp (replacing water) and thus creating en end product that is fire protected to be used, for instance, with storage boxes.
We anticipate this concept will be completed in collaboration with a manufacturer of carton and paper products.
- Fire Protected Wall and Ceiling Insulation (with Partner)
As above, the main difference being that the retardant will be mixed with a mix of base materials.
Approvals and Certifications
We are in the process of filing for UL approvals and Government Dep’t endorsements (USFA, NFPA, CAL FIRE) for the United States, covering the Bioflamex aerosols and also bulk extinguishers. In addition to this, DIN and TÜV certification of aerosols covering Europe shall be obtained. The timings of these items is Q3 2012.
EN3 certification of standard extinguishers must also be initiated for the EU in collaboration with Hartindo Saudi.
Forest Fire certifications and approvals will be obtained gradually as we target markets; Spain and Cyprus/Greece will be the first focus-markets for the approvals during Q3/Q4 2012.
The following table shows specifically where we are at in the approval and certification process.
Bioflamex | We are in the process of obtaining UL approval for sales in the United States, which takes 3-6 months. We are planning the DIN as well as TÜV, which is a faster process (2-3 months). NFPA (United States) endorsement is also a key to success. |
Extinguishing Foam | Must be UL certified in US and EN3 certified for normal extinguishers in EU. Both take 3-6 months. |
Forest Retardant | Must be tested and approved by United States (CAL FIRE), Greek, Spanish and Russian Forest Fire Authorities for use in forest fire fighting. Will take 3-6 months, depending on timing for initial demonstrations. |
Retardant | Has all required certifications from BS/DIN. |
In addition to the above, any number of local and/or regional approvals may be necessary for the markets we aim to penetrate, as is the case in states like California, countries like Russia and the individual CIS countries, and even some countries in EU (France for example).
Product Production
We intend to use a number of partners to develop and manufacture our products. These partners include those that follow in this section. In order to successfully reach our objectives, a number of tests, demonstrations, approvals and certifications are in the process of being completed.
We are in the last stages of exclusive collaboration and production agreements with Hartindo Industries/Hartindo Saudi, Dansoll A/S, Denmark for the development of a range of versatile and multipurpose retardant and extinguishing formulations. We have also been appointed exclusive Agent for EU on the PurifyAir smoke hoods from CY Holdings.
11 |
Hartindo Saudi:
The core biological formula has been developed by Hartindo Industries and shall form the basis for the water based biological additives mixed with water.
A key component for our patent-pending Bioflamex aerosol extinguishers is the unique proprietary Hartindo extinguishing media. The Bioflamex extinguishers utilize the exceptional Hartindo AF31 formula and the corresponding Foam Concentrate, to achieve its clean and extremely effective properties.
This sourcing agreement will tie into the partner agreement with our aerosol production partner, currently being drafted, and ensure the optimal conditions for the sale and marketing of the Bioflamex aerosols.
In addition to covering the aerosol extinguishers, the cooperation agreement will also grant us exclusive rights to market the unique Hartindo AF31 bulk products and EN3 type extinguishers in selected EU markets. That will effectively spur growth within sales to the professional sectors, especially forest fire fighting authorities and organizations. The understanding also embodies an expressed wish to jointly develop new projects, to maximize synergies and commercial success for both companies over time.
The collaboration agreement has been drafted at present, and covers the direct transfer of certain WW and regional rights to Bioflamex Corp. We expect this agreement will be formalized and signed during Q2 2012.
Dansoll A/S:
Dansoll manufactures over 3,000,000 aerosols per annum, and can easily expand operations in current location and also abroad. The primary suppliers of cannisters and nozzle system have capacity that supercedes any need in the distant future.
One significant feature of our proprietary and patent-pending Bioflamex aerosol extinguishers is the fact that it utilizes recycled CO2 as propellant.
The exclusive partnership agreement will enable us to benefit from the production partner’s advanced proprietary CO2 aerosol production technology, which -- amongst a number of features -- optimizes production. Using CO2 as propellant will enable us to fill up aerosol bottles with appx. 15% more product compared to conventional aerosols, which should impact positively on material usage and margins on sales.
The partner's production experience and technology play a significant part in enabling us to market our Bioflamex aerosol products at highly competitive end-user prices, and still maintain satisfactory margins on the volume business.
This is currently a draft agreement which will be formalized and signed during Q2 2012.
Partnerships for Industrial Development:
We are working with two insulation manufacturers and one paper/carton manufacturer to complete trials of industrial-level fire retardants. This work will take 3-6 months to complete after the work with Solberg has been completed, and should result in 1-2 patent applications.
In addition, development of a washable fire retardant for textiles (especially beddings) should open up for collaboration with industrial linen service companies, as the likes of Berendsen and gain access to hospitals, hotels and prisons to mention a few institutional clients.
National
Fire Departments: Upon completion of formula work, critical testing will be conducted in collaboration with fire
departments in the United States (California, Chicago and New York initially and with other states/cities to be added later),
Denmark, Spain and Greece during 2012, with close cooperation of Hartindo Saudi and PL Brandteknik.
12 |
Distribution
The company will use a number of distribution channels and distribution partners, depending on the type of product, market segment and region. In some cases, we have already secured verbal agreements with distributors and end user outlets, which we expect to be formalized in the near future.
Distribution in the United States will be determined by the certifications/approvals obtained, but we are in dialogue with networks that have been developed over the years that we believe will open the distributions channels to government and retail targets.
In some instances we will enter collaboration on all products with one partner for a country or region, and in others multiple distributors will operate individual sectors, depending on the nature of the market and the positioning of partner companies.
We intend to have our sales personnel primarily servicing the distribution partner as key account managers; however some key multinational companies will be approached and handled directly by management.
At the present, we have discussed preliminary Exclusive Distributor/Agent agreements ready for execution with companies covering United States and regions such as India, UAE, Kuwait, Egypt, Saudia Arabia. Partners for certain sectors and/or regions in EU and Asia have also been identified and soft negotiations initiated.
We have initiated negotiations with personal safety solutions company Cardia Europe concerning collaboration on key market segments in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Austria, Poland, Germany, UK and the Global maritime market.
Cardia Europe is a dynamic Danish importer and distribution Company which distributes defibrillators, fire extinguishers and related products to the public and private sector.
The key component for the collaboration will be Bioflamex aerosol extinguishers and the PurifyAir Smoke Escape Hoods. The first trial projects will be conducted in Denmark
Consumer / Retail
The main product for the Retail/Consumer segment is the Bioflamex extinguisher, which we believe holds a global potential (“The Red Bull of fire fighting”).
The key to the distribution strategy is to gain access to consumer outlet networks as well as semi-professional / specialty outlets. The distribution and marketing will initially be conducted through the networks’ own marketing programmes/media towards potential end users.
As an example, the Automobile Owners’ Associations in the United States counts more than 50,000,000 members and publishes web content and magazines directed at its members. In EU the same applies, counting more than 40,000,000 members and publishing magazines that have circulations of more than 7,000,000 copies monthly or quarterly depending on the country/region. This composes a strong promotion vehicle for the All-purpose Bioflamex for car/boat owners.
The push for distribution in the United States will be focused around a number of key distribution partners and 5 key states with a high population/business density, high media saturation and high level of distribution outlets. These states include: New York, California, Illinois, Texas and Florida.
We have
identified these states as being highly relevant for penetration into the retail/private consumption sphere as well as the public
institutions and businesses.
13 |
In addition to this, the states selected individually have some characteristics that support focused efforts into certain business areas. Examples of this include:
- The high proportion of Oil & Gas industry in Texas supports the distribution and sales of bulk extinguishers and retardants to professional clients;
- The high level of forest fire threats in California, makes it an ideal market to introduce the forest fire solutions to local Government departments and fire fighting departments; and
- The high number of elderly people in Florida supports the introduction of Bioflamex kitchen extinguisher and textile retardants to Government Departments and institutions as well as key retail partners.
We also intend to focus on a number of countries in Europe with high population/business density, high media saturation and high level of distribution outlets. These countries include: the Nordic Countries, Germany, France, Benelux, England, and Spain.
It is our goal to achieve a 10% penetration into the market through professional, business to business and retail distribution/sales partners, over the course of a 3 year period.
Business to Business / Professional
The distribution of product for the business to business and professional market will mainly be conducted either through large multinational corporations with a strong sales and distribution networks in key markets or through local/regional partners with strong association and sales record to the primary clients.
Large multinational distribution partners may include: TYCO, UTC, ISS (50+ countries), G4S (70+ countries), and Würth (40+ countries). Local/regional distribution partners may include:
Delma Group (Middle East/India), Blue Dome Company (Middle East), and Falck (Nordic),
Industrial
The industrial segment will primarily be targeted by our staff directly with potential clients, as significant consultancy and development of applications is involved in this. Main clients are manufacturers of paper product, insulation material for construction, timber and wood manufacturers and textile/furniture producers.
PurifyAir Smoke Escape Hoods
We have been awarded the appointment as exclusive distributor covering the EU for the PurifyAir smoke escape hoods from CY Holdings, China.
The appointment consolidates the collaboration between the companies, and represents an important addition to our product portfolio for international sales.
The PurifyAir smoke escape hoods have been developed by the Head of the fire protection export section of CY Holdings, Mr Robert Coleman. Through his dedication to innovation and quality, PurifyAir smoke escape hoods have become widely recognized and certified. The single-use smoke filters provide unique benefits at very competitive pricing. The filters provide 30-60 minutes of cleaned air and the flame protected hood material ensures face protection against fire.
Being ideal
for both residents and corporate employees in multiple-storey buildings, mining personnel, forest fire fighters etc., this agreement
will help us to penetrate high interest business segments and supplement our ability to serve multiple needs of our clients.

We expect sales of PurifyAir to compose approximately 10% of total sales within the coming 5 years, amounting to $10 million.

Staff Development
Our ability to generate revenue will require 2-3 offices and a consistent increase in staff count over the first 1-4 years, as reflected in the personnel chart below:
However, we do not have an ambition to become a high headcount operation; but rather have a tight and highly skilled group of people employed within the technical, sales and marketing Divisions.
Mainly, the distribution sales and marketing efforts will require support and key account capacity, and we will be looking to hire individuals with strong skills within regional or global sales, and also recruit from the professional fire services environment to ensure deep understanding of the technical aspects within the sales/marketing force and to leverage industry insight and professional connections.
In addition to this, we aim to recruit technical staff with fire fighting, biochemistry and/or logistics skills who can ensure strong coordination with manufacturing partners, counseling of distributors and key clients (for the professional / industrial segments), and drive the product development within the company.
Advisory Board
We have an advisory board that consists of a collection of individuals who bring unique knowledge and skills which complement the knowledge and skills of our board members in order to more effectively govern the organization. We currently have 3 members on our advisory board.

Market Information
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), which is sponsored by FINRA. The OTCBB is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current "bids" and "asks", as well as volume information. Our shares are quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “BFLX.”
The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid quotations for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCBB. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Penny Stock
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
16 |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.
Holders of Our Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of May 24, 2012 we had 150,550,121 shares of common stock outstanding. Our shares are held by approximately 7 shareholders of record, with others held in street name.
Dividends
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1. | we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or; |
2. | our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution. |
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On March 28, 2012, we issued 6,000,000 shares to Mr. Kristian Schiørring, our Chief Executive Officer, and 6,000,000 shares to Mr. Henrik Dahlerup, our Chief Operating Officer, as compensation for their services to our company.
On May 21, 2012, we issued 12,000,000 shares to each of Mr. Schiørring and Mr. Dahlerup as compensation for future services to our company.
The above
shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration found in Regulation S. Each purchaser represented to us that the
purchaser was a Non-US Person as defined in Regulation S. We did not engage in a distribution of this offering in the United States.
Each purchaser represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view toward distribution.
All purchasers were given adequate access to sufficient information about us to make an informed investment decision. None of
the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011
We generated no revenue for the period from August 25, 2004 (Date of Inception) until February 29, 2012. Our Operating Expenses were $257,872 for the year ended February 29, 2012, as compared with $45,377 for the year ended February 28, 2011. The increase was the result of consulting fees of $152,979 and compensation expenses of $30,000 for the year ended February 29, 2012, that were not incurred for the year ended February 28, 2011. Our operating expenses were $382,456 for the period from August 25, 2004 (Date of Inception) until February 29, 2012.
We recorded a net loss of $264,581 for the year ended February 29, 2012, as compared with $45,377 for the year ended February 28, 2011, and $399,164 for the period from August 25, 2004 (Date of Inception) until February 29, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of February
29, 2012, we had current assets of $191. We had total assets of $1,191,191 as of February 29, 2012. We had current liabilities
of $243,555 and total liabilities of the same as of February 29, 2012. We had a working capital deficit of $243,364 as of February
29, 2012.
18 |
Operating activities used $53,902 in cash for the year ended February 29, 2012. Our net loss of $264,581 was the contributing factor to our negative operating cash flow, offset mainly by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $151,247. Investing activities used $0 for for the year ended February 29, 2012. Financing activities for the year ended February 29, 2012 generated $54,034 as a result of the sale of common shares for proceeds of $50,000 and proceeds from a related party note payable of $4,034.
We will require a cash injection of $2,000,000 to: begin operations, launch a full marketing and branding campaign, manufacture and deliver products and to begin and increase revenues from its products.
On May 14, 2012, we entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor committed to purchase, subject to certain restrictions and conditions, up to $10,000,000 of the our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), over a period of 36 months from the first trading day following the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of shares purchased by the Investor pursuant to the Investment Agreement (the “Equity Line”).
We may draw on the facility from time to time, at our discretion. The maximum amount that we are entitled to put to the Investor in any one draw down notice is up to five million shares (5,000,000) multiplied by the daily volume weighted average price (VWAP) on the day prior to the put date. The purchase price shall be set at ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest VWAP of the our Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive trading day period beginning on the date of delivery of the applicable draw down notice. The Investor will not be obligated to purchase shares if the Investor’s total number of shares beneficially held at that time would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of the our common stock as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, we are not permitted to draw on the facility unless there is an effective Registration Statement (as defined below) to cover the resale of the shares. Upon notice to the Investor, the Company is entitled at any time in its discretion to terminate the Investment Agreement.
The Investment Agreement further provides that we and the Investor are each entitled to customary indemnification from the other for, among other things, any losses or liabilities they may suffer as a result of any breach by the other party of any provisions of the Investment Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement, or as a result of any lawsuit brought by a third-party arising out of or resulting from the other party’s execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Investment Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of May 14, 2012 between us and the Investor (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), we are obligated to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) within 30 days with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the resale by Investor of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under the Investment Agreement. We are required to initially register 16,000,000 shares of Common Stock. We are obligated to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 90 days after the filing of the Registration Statement.
As of February 29, 2012, we have insufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months and insufficient cash to achieve our business goals. The success of our business plan beyond the next 12 months is contingent upon us obtaining additional financing. We intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, or other cash requirements. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of February 29, 2012, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations for the next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. We have not yet achieved profitable operations and since our inception (August 25, 2004) through February 29, 2012 we have accumulated losses of $399,164 and a working capital deficit of $243,364. Management expects to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.
We expect to continue to incur substantial losses as we execute our business plan and do not expect to attain profitability in the near future. Since our inception, we have funded operations through short-term borrowings and equity investments in order to meet our strategic objectives. Our future operations are dependent upon external funding and our ability to execute our business plan, realize sales and control expenses. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from additional borrowings and private placements to meet our business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of time. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of our business operation, or if obtained, upon terms favourable to us.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Our accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to the financial statements. Management does not believe that our accounting policies are critical enough to mention in the body of this annual report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operation, financial position or cash flow.

BIOFLAMEX CORP.
(formerly known as Deer Bay Resources Inc.)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company was incorporated as Deer Bay Resources Inc. in the State of Nevada, United States of America on August 25, 2004. The Company’s principal business up to January 25, 2011 was the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. On January 25, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire certain intellectual property related to a line of fire extinguishing and prevention products that are based on environment friendly and biological formulations. In consideration for the newly acquired assets, the Company issued 38,000,000 shares at $ 0.013 per share. We have not produced any revenues from the Company’s newly acquired assets or commenced significant business operations and are considered a development stage company as defined by SEC Guide 7 with reference to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topic 915.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit and Business Risk
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risks consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, may at times, exceed federally-insured limits.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.
Long –lived Assets
The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the assets; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will be more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.
Loss Per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed exercise or conversion of stock options, warrants, and debt to purchase common shares, would have an anti-dilutive effect. At February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 the Company had no potential common shares that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC subtopic 605-10 (formerly SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 and 13A, “Revenue Recognition”) net of expected cancellations and allowances. As of February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, the Company has not generated any revenue.
Upon the generation of revenue, which do not require any significant production, modification or customization for the Company's targeted customers and do not have multiple elements, are recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the Company's fee is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collectability is probable.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10 for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has financial instruments whereby the fair value of the financial instruments could be different from that recorded on a historical basis in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments approximate their fair values as of February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 due to their short-term nature.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuance of warrants that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.
The Company accounts for stock-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 718 and Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Stock-based payments to non-employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuances of warrants that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on the value of the vested portion of the award over the requisite service period as measured at its then-current fair value as of each financial reporting date. The Company calculates the fair value of option grants and warrant issuances utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time stock options are granted and warrants are issued to employees and non-employees, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock option or warrant. The Company estimates forfeiture rates for all unvested awards when calculating the expense for the period. In estimating the forfeiture rate, the Company monitors both stock option and warrant exercises as well as employee termination patterns.

Share-Based Compensation (continued)
The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
For the year ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, the Company recorded $30,000 and $0, respectively in share-based compensation expense.
Foreign currency transactions
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with ASC 820, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. The amendments result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), and do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of the new requirement is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. In this update, FASB eliminated the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within these years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of the new requirement is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow. As a result, these changes impact how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their significant accounting policies. The Company implemented the Codification in this Report by providing references to the Codification topics alongside references to the corresponding standards.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements
International Financial Reporting Standards:
In November 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued for comment a proposed roadmap regarding potential use of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Under the proposed roadmap, the Company would be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS in fiscal year 2014, including comparative information also prepared under IFRS for fiscal 2013 and 2012. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of IFRS on its financial statements and will continue to follow the proposed roadmap for future developments.
Year-end
The Company has adopted February 28, as its fiscal year end.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has not yet achieved profitable operations and since its inception (August 25, 2004) through February 29, 2012 the Company had accumulated losses of $399,164 and a working capital deficit of $243,364. Management expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.
The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses as it executes its business plan and does not expect to attain profitability in the near future. Since its inception, the Company has funded operations through short-term borrowings and equity investments in order to meet its strategic objectives. The Company's future operations are dependent upon external funding and its ability to execute its business plan, realize sales and control expenses. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from additional borrowings and private placements to meet its business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of its business operation, or if obtained, upon terms favourable to the Company.
NOTE 4 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On January 25, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire certain intellectual property related to a line of fire extinguishing and prevention products that are based on environment friendly and biological formulations. In consideration for the newly acquired assets, the Company issued 38,000,000 shares at $ 0.013 per share, totalling $ 1,190,000 to two individuals who became the entire Board of Directors and the two senior officers of the Company. The Company followed SAB Topic 5 G in determining value as the transaction was considered a non-monetary related party transaction. Value was determined based on historical costs associated with testing, patenting and trademarking the intellectual property and also supported by an independent valuation of the intellectual property. The entire purchase price was allocated to the intangible asset category of Patents and Trademarks.
NOTE 5 – LOAN PAYABLE, RELATED PARTY
On October 1, 2011, the Company entered into a promissory note with an officer and shareholder of the Company in the amount of $4,034. The note bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum, is unsecured, callable at the option of the holder, and matured December 31, 2012. The note is currently in default. At February 29, 2012, the principal balance owed is $4,034 and accrued interest totaled $258.
NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT
On December 13, 2010, the Company entered into a Convertible Debenture and Subscription Agreement in the amount of $60,500. The debenture is convertible at a rate of $0.01 at the option of the holder for a period of two years. In the event of acceleration or conversion on default, the holder may at its discretion declare the amount outstanding to be immediately due and payable in an amount equal to 120% of the outstanding loan amount payable in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

The net change in the valuation for 2012 was $216,615
The Company has a net operating loss carryover of approximately $399,164 available to offset future income for income tax reporting purposes, which will expire in various years through 2031, if not previously utilized. However, the Company’s ability to use the carryover net operating loss may be substantially limited or eliminated pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
Our policy regarding income tax interest and penalties is to expense those items as general and administrative expense but to identify them for tax purposes. During the periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, there were no income tax, or related interest and penalty items in the income statement, or as a liability on the balance sheet. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. We are subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examination by tax authorities for years beginning at our inception of August 25, 2004, through current. We are not currently involved in any income tax examinations.
NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company adopted ASC Topic 820-10 at the beginning of 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC Topic 820-10 did not impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 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 on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (CONTINUED)
Level I – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.
Level II – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level III – Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our sole chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of February 29, 2012, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company’s management, including our company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as identified below under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated. Our company intends to remediate the material weaknesses as set out below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) for our company. Our company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that our company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
22 |
Our Management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2012 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as at February 29, 2012 due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.
Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending February 28, 2013, subject to obtaining additional financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely effected in a material manner.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 29, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
The following table contains information with respect to our current executive officers and directors:
Name | Age | Principal Positions With Us | ||||
Kristian Schiorring | 48 | President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director | ||||
Henrik Dahlerup | 50 | Chief Operating Officer and Director |
23 |
Kristian Schiorring is an experienced entrepreneur and businessman. During the 1980s he launched a number of successful food and entertainment businesses throughout Northern Europe. Later, he established and ran three separate commercial businesses: Printex ApS, DataNordic A/S and Telecom Accessories Consult A/S, all within the Office and Mobile Supplies industry. During this span he has become a seasoned manager and has developed a strong ability to establish networks, acquire distribution and sales rights of commercial products, and implement production systems. Kristian´s main areas of strength are partnerships, product development, import and production logistics, and administration/back office management.
Henrik Dahlerup has an extensive background in communication and strategic marketing and consulting through his employment as a senior management member at the most prominent international communications corporations: Young & Rubicam (1991-1997), McCann (1997-1999) Rapp Collins (1998-2002) and DDB (2002-2005). His experience in this field counts for 16 years of management and servicing of prime local and international corporations. Mr. Dahlerup completed O&A levels at the International School of ECOS in Marbella Spain in 1981, 1 year of business school at Niels Brock Business School from 1984-1985, and 2 years of a bachelor degree in marketing from Copenhagen Business School from 1987-1989. Since his formal education, Mr. Dahlerup has completed several complementary educational programs related to business and leadership that were financed by prior employers.
Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
Committees of the Board
Our
company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does
our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary
to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.
24 |
Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our CEO and director, Kristian Schiorring, at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by us, the following persons have failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal year ended February 29, 2012:
