ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
General

Tree Top Industries, Inc. (“TTI”, “Tree Top”, “we”. “our”, “us”, “the Company”, “management”) is a Nevada corporation that owns 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of BioEnergy Applied Technologies, Inc. (“BAT”).   BAT is the originator of various proprietary, clean-tech, environmentally friendly technologies and intellectual properties in the areas of hazardous waste destruction, energetic materials, chemical recycling processes, and coal gasification.  BAT also maintains unique electrolytic technology that simplifies the production of bio fuels, specifically biodiesel and its byproducts.  The Company also owns NetThruster, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“NetThruster”), which was formally known as Ludicrous, Inc. (“Ludicrous”).

Western Exploration, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed on July 24, 1980. In 1990, Western Exploration, Inc. changed its name to Nugget Exploration, Inc.  On November 10, 1999, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nugget Exploration, Inc., Nugget Holdings Corporation merged with and into GoHealthMD, Inc., a Delaware corporation.  Shortly thereafter, Nugget Exploration, Inc. changed its name to GoHealthMD, Inc. a Nevada corporation.

On August 18, 2004, GoHealthMD, Inc., the Nevada Corporation, changed its name to Tree Top Industries, Inc.  GoHealthMD, Inc. continues to exist as a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Tree Top Industries, Inc. NetThruster, Inc., BioEnergy Applied Technologies, Inc., Universal Energy and Services Group, Inc. and International Eye Care Centers, Inc. are also wholly owned subsidiaries of Tree Top Industries, Inc.

Effective August 12, 2009, Tree Top completed a stock exchange with BAT, BioEnergy Systems Management Inc., Wimase Limited and Energetic Systems Inc., LLC.  Tree Top acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of BAT.  BAT is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tree Top. Tree Top issued 3,500,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per share, to the Stockholders in exchange for the transfer of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of BAT by the Stockholders.

BAT was acquired to exploit its key intellectual properties, which have been applied to the construction of systems and equipment designed to facilitate the destruction of pharmaceutical, medical, biological, chemical, red bag and other hazardous wastes, with clean reusable energy produced as a byproduct.  The system utilizes cold plasma technology to initiate a chemical reaction inside the unit.  The chemical reaction causes enough heat to facilitate the waste destruction, resulting in a drastically reduced carbon footprint, as no incineration is needed.   The energy needed to start the process is the equivalent of only five light bulbs, resulting in a significantly lower cost of operation.  The unit is relatively compact, can be retrofitted into existing structures or made mobile for smaller venues, and can be scaled up to meet the hazardous waste destruction needs of almost any user.  Tree Top is actively engaged in developing a business platform to showcase the BAT technologies, and will spend the majority of its resources in support of this opportunity.

 On January 28, 2011, the Board of Directors of TreeTop adopted resolutions approving the disposition by the Company of all of the common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, NetThruster, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NetThruster”), in a spin-off to Tree Top’s shareholders on a pro rata basis (the “Spin-Off”).  Thereafter, NetThruster would be owned by Tree Top’s shareholders. David Reichman, the CEO of Tree Top was named Chairman of the Board, CEO and CFO of NetThruster.  Kathy M. Griffin was named a Director and corporate secretary. The Board of Directors of NetThruster is comprised of David Reichman and Kathy Griffin.  On February 9, 2011, Tree Top entered into a distribution agreement with NetThruster (the “Distribution Agreement”).  The Spin-Off is governed by the Distribution Agreement.  A copy of the Distribution Agreement is attached hereto as exhibit 10.5.  The Spin-Off was disclosed in a Form 8–K, filed on February 9, 2011, which announced that the NetThruster division would be spun-off into a separate entity.

Tree Top owns all of the 274,699,100 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of NetThruster.  NetThruster currently has no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.  Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, Tree Top has agreed to distribute all of the common stock of NetThruster to Tree Top’s shareholders, such that each shareholder of record of Tree Top common stock on February 14, 2011 (the “Distribution Record Date”) would receive one share of the common stock of NetThruster for every share of Tree Top’s common stock owned by such shareholder.  Each Tree Top shareholder must have proof of ownership of the Tree Top common stock in order to be eligible to receive the distribution of the common stock of NetThruster in the Spin-Off.  Tree Top expected to make the distribution for the Spin-Off on or before March 10, 2011.  However, Tree Top, upon authorization and a resolution from the Board of Directors, postponed the Spin-Off until a date on or before June 1, 2011.

History

Western Exploration, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed on July 24, 1980.  In 1990, Western Exploration, Inc. changed its name to Nugget Exploration, Inc.  On November 10, 1999, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nugget Exploration, Inc., Nugget Holdings Corporation merged with and into GoHealthMD, Inc., a Delaware corporation.  Shortly thereafter, Nugget Exploration, Inc. changed its name to GoHealthMD, Inc. a Nevada corporation.

On August 18, 2004, GoHealthMD, Inc., the Nevada Corporation, changed its name to Tree Top Industries, Inc.  GoHealthMD, Inc. continues to exist as a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Tree Top Industries, Inc. NetThruster, Inc., BioEnergy Applied Technologies, Inc., Universal Energy and Services Group, Inc. and International Eye Care Centers, Inc. are also wholly owned subsidiaries of Tree Top Industries, Inc.
 
Effective October 19, 2007, TTI entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with all of the stockholders of Ludicrous pursuant to which TTI agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Ludicrous from the stockholders in consideration for the issuance of a total of 68,000,000 newly issued shares of TTI’s common stock, allocated among the stockholders of Ludicrous on a pro rata basis.  Accordingly, after the closing of the stock exchange on November 1, 2007 as contemplated by the Agreement, Ludicrous became a wholly owned subsidiary of TTI, and the prior shareholders of Ludicrous became the majority shareholders of TTI.  In the Agreement, the stockholders of Ludicrous agreed to confer upon a designee of TTI, voting power over their shares of TTI’s common stock acquired by them for a period equal to the lesser of (i) two years or (ii) the sale of the common stock by the stockholder in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.  However, the shares of the two (2) largest stockholders, James Black, and The Davis Family, who held an aggregate of over 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Ludicrous, were each required to execute a two (2) year lock-up agreement. The business combination between TTI and Ludicrous closed on November 1, 2007, and David Reichman, the Chief Executive Officer of TTI, was designated by TTI to be the voting trustee for 68,000,000 outstanding shares of TTI currently owned by the prior stockholders of Ludicrous.  Subsequently, due to the departure of James Black and the non-development and deployment of the technology, approximately 72% or 49,000,000 shares were cancelled and or returned to the Company.

On April 24, 2009, Tree Top entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with BAT, BioEnergy Systems Management Inc ., Wimase Limited and Energetic Systems Inc., LLC.  Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of BAT.   The acquisition resulted in BAT becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Exchange Agreement called for the issuance of a total of 3,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share, in exchange for the transfer of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of BAT to the Company.

BAT is the originator and incubator of environmentally friendly technologies useful in the areas of energetic materials, chemicals and chemical processes, gasification, and the safe and novel destruction of biological and other hazardous wastes.  The Company has been focused on the incubation growth and commercialization of novel technology platforms designed to address the fundamental limitations of many of today’s technologies and businesses.  The Company will seek to provide key technologies to the biofuels sector, designed to help make biofuels more cost effective and of a higher quality.

BAT is also the originator of various proprietary, clean-tech, environmentally-friendly technologies and intellectual properties in the areas of hazardous waste destruction, energetic materials, chemical recycling processes, and coal gasification.  BAT also maintains unique electrolytic technology that simplifies the production of bio fuels, specifically biodiesel and its byproducts.

BAT was acquired by Tree Top in August of 2009 in order to exploit its key intellectual properties, which have been applied to the construction of systems and equipment designed to facilitate the destruction of pharmaceutical, medical, biological, chemical, red bag and other hazardous wastes, with clean reusable energy produced as a byproduct.  The system utilizes cold plasma technology to initiate a chemical reaction inside the unit.  The chemical reaction causes enough heat to facilitate the waste destruction, resulting in a drastically reduced carbon footprint, as no incineration is needed.   The energy needed to start the process is the equivalent of only five light bulbs, resulting in a significantly lower cost of operation.  The unit is relatively compact, can be retrofitted into existing structures or made mobile for smaller venues, and can be scaled up to meet the hazardous waste destruction needs of almost any user.
 
Research and Development

Although our staff is limited, we continue to monitor new developments and any emerging technologies.

Intellectual Property

Our success depends in part upon our ability to protect our core technology and other intellectual capital. To accomplish this, we rely on a combination of intellectual property rights, including patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, domain registrations and contractual protections.

With the acquisition of BAT, Tree Top acquired fifteen (15) intellectual properties pertaining to the construction of the mobile configuration and operation of the glyd-arc medical waste destruction unit, as well as an enhanced configuration and novel method for coal gasification.
 
As of December 31, 2010, Tree Top had received no patents in the United States and no patents in foreign jurisdictions.  We have no pending patent applications in the United States and no pending patent applications in foreign jurisdictions.  We had received no trademarks and had no pending trademark applications in the United States. We had no pending trademark applications in foreign countries and no non-U.S. trademark applications had been issued.

We generally control access to and use of our software and other confidential information through (a) the use of internal and external controls, including physical and electronic security, contractual protections with employees, contractors, customers and partners, and (b) domestic and foreign copyright laws.

Government Regulation

BAT

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), no registration of the BAT system is required because the waste destruction process does not involve incineration.  Incineration processes are subject to regulation by the EPA.  However, any hazardous waste destruction system that is constructed will be subject to the state laws and regulations where the system is located, as well as any regulations pertaining to the storage, transporting and/or destroying hazardous waste.   BAT is also subject to government laws and regulations governing health, safety, working conditions, employee relations, wrongful termination, wages, taxes and other matters applicable to businesses in general.

NetThruster

NetThruster is subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting the telecommunications and Internet industries.  Laws and regulations that apply to communications and commerce conducted over the Internet are becoming more prevalent, both in the United States and internationally, and may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online or providing Internet-related services such as ours. The laws relating to the liability of private network operators for information carried on or disseminated through their networks are unsettled, both in the United States and abroad. Network operators have been sued in the past, sometimes successfully, based on the content of material disseminated through their networks. The Federal Trade Commission and equivalent state agencies regulate advertising and representations made by businesses in the sale of their products, which apply to us.  NetThruster is also subject to government laws and regulations governing health, safety, working conditions, employee relations, wrongful termination, wages, taxes and other matters applicable to businesses in general. 

Competition

BAT

There are currently no direct competitors offering this new and novel technology into the waste destruction market.   The major companies that deal in hazardous waste management are companies such as Waste Management, Inc.  Those companies treat, haul and store hazardous waste in landfills across the country.  Some companies destroy hazardous waste, or any carbon based waste in general, through incineration, which produces a significant carbon footprint and can be as expensive as the storing model.  The BAT technology would destroy the hazardous waste completely through the use of a chemical process, which involves minor energy output to begin, and produces no carbon footprint at the end.  The competitive disadvantage for the BAT process is that it is uncommercialized technology at present, which makes the process of acquiring adequate funding more difficult.

NetThruster

The content delivery network market is highly competitive and is characterized by constantly declining prices and multiple types of vendors offering varying combinations of computing and bandwidth to content providers. A few of NetThruster’s current competitors, as well as a number of NetThruster’s potential competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, broader customer relationships and industry alliances, and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. NetThruster’s primary competitors include content delivery service providers such as Limelight Networks, Akamai, Level 3 Communications and Internap Network Services Corporation, which acquired VitalStream. Also, as a result of the growth of the content delivery market, a number of companies are attempting to enter the market, either directly or indirectly, some of which may become significant competitors of NetThruster in the future. Internationally, NetThruster competes with local content delivery service providers, many of which are very well positioned within their local markets.

We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting the content delivery market include such attributes as:

 
Performance, as measured by file delivery time and end-user media consumption rates;
 
 
Scalability; both in terms of average capacity and special event capacity;
 
 
Proprietary software designed to efficiently locate and deliver large media files;
 
 
Ease of implementation;
 
 
Flexibility in designing delivery systems for unique content types and mixes;
 
 
Reliability; and
 
 
Cost efficiency.

Because of the above situation, our continued inability to raise sufficient capital and our focus on the BAT technology, we ceased further development of the NetThruster technology.  Furthermore, on January 28, 2011, the Board of Directors of TreeTop adopted resolutions approving the disposition by the Company of all of the common stock of NetThruster in the Spin-Off.  Thereafter, NetThruster will be owned by Tree Top’s shareholders and its operations will be run by David I. Reichman.   Tree Top has agreed to distribute all of the common stock of NetThruster to Tree Top’s shareholders, such that each shareholder of record of Tree Top common stock on the Distribution Record Date would receive one share of the common stock of NetThruster for every share of Tree Top’s common stock owned by such shareholder.  Tree Top expected to make the distribution for the Spin-Off on or before March 10, 2011.  However, Tree Top, upon authorization and a resolution from the Board of Directors, postponed the Spin-Off until a date on or before June 1, 2011.

 Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we employed two people on a full-time basis.   Both employees are in executive positions. We project that during the next 12 months, our workforce is likely to increase.  To support our need for technical staffing, we have established relationships with technical staffing organizations that continuously offer qualified personnel to meet our requirements.

Seasonality

Our operations are not expected to be affected by seasonal fluctuations, although our cash flow may be affected by fluctuations in the timing of cash receipts from our potential future customers.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Currently, TTI does not lease, rent or own any property, other than its office which acts only as a mail receipt center.  
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
TTI has filed suit in United States District Court against Dr. Steven Hoefflin for libel. The suit seeks redress in the form of enjoining the shareholder from any further harassment and in the form of damages from the shareholder and others who have allegedly abetted the shareholder’s actions.  This case was dismissed in New York and we are currently evaluating if it would be productive to file the claim in the Los Angeles County Federal Court.  

In addition, this same shareholder filed a third party cross complaint against TTI and one of its officers, in Los Angeles Superior Court. On May 25, 2010, the third party litigation case brought by Dr. Steven Hoefflin against TTI, and one of its officers, in LA Superior Court, Index No .BC 392424, was dismissed with prejudice.

Cautionary Statements

This Form 10-K may contain “forward-looking statements,” as that term is used in federal securities laws, about Tree Top’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and business.  These statements include, among others:
 
 
statements concerning the potential benefits that may be experienced from business activities and certain transactions contemplated or completed; and

 
6

 

 
statements of our expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated developments and other matters that are not historical facts.  These statements may be made expressly in this Form 10-K.  You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “opines,” or similar expressions used in this Form 10-K.  These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied in those statements.  The most important facts that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
 
a) 
volatility or decline of Tree Top’s stock price;
 
 
b) 
potential fluctuation of quarterly results;
 
 
c) 
failure to earn revenues or profits;
 
 
d) 
inadequate capital to continue or expand our business, and inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement our business plans;
 
 
e) 
failure to commercialize our technology or to make sales;
 
 
f) 
decline in demand for our products and services;
 
 
g) 
rapid adverse changes in markets;

litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties against TTI, including but not limited to challenges to intellectual property rights;
 
 
i) 
insufficient revenues to cover operating costs; and

In considering the entire waste destruction business and analyzing where the opportunities can be found, it is apparent that the pharmaceutical, medical, biological, chemical, and red bag waste industries should be the best fit for the BAT technology, both from an environmental and a cost structure perspective.

While municipal, restaurant and/or household wastes cost upwards of $ .30 per pound to incinerate or store, hazardous waste disposal has been calculated at upwards of $2.00 per pound, without taking the volatility of the price of fuel into account. This is because, in order to comply with governmental and environmental regulations, a work-intensive system of processing, handling, storing, transporting, and finally burying hazardous waste is required at most pharmaceutical companies.   Once hazardous waste has been produced, its disposition is the responsibility of the producer thereafter.  If there is an environmental issue resulting from hazardous waste production, the waste generator is solely responsible.

In spite of this, many companies who produce hazardous waste in the pharmaceutical industry and biological / hospital red bag waste area currently use conventional haul-destroy companies and methods to eliminate the waste.   This exposes them to several increased costs, including:

environmental costs
 
transportation costs

insurance costs

storage costs

overall handling costs
 
The BAT technology allows companies to destroy hazardous material streams in-line before they exit the consolidated system, and therefore such companies never become hazardous waste generators. This provides a commercial solution for the processing of hazardous waste in-house and on demand at local sites. Byproducts from the system are essentially water and carbon dioxide, plus trace amounts of organics. The system specifically eliminates oxides of nitrogen, chlorine gas, and other toxic gasses typically produced by conventional incinerators.  The process is completely “green”, converting all the waste into water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.  And, the technology allows for the potential capturing of reusable energy.  This excess energy, in the form of heat, can be utilized within other facility operations.

In the next twelve months, Tree Top plans to target the pharmaceutical industry on a global basis.  In the United States alone, the top pharmaceutical companies produce upwards of 600,000,000 pounds of active pharmaceutical intermediates waste per year. That translates into over $1.2 billion dollars of cost connected to the management of hazardous waste.  Tree Top will be taking steps to produce several working demonstration units that can be showcased to the pharmaceutical industry.  We will be actively seeking partners who may want to share the cost of building the units and testing them at their facilities. On the international side, we have acquired a strategic partner, Asia Pacific Capital, who will be making introductions for us to industry insiders in Vietnam and China.  We are also actively pursuing, through partnerships with other individuals, government agencies to position us in front of possible funding partners.

This plan is totally dependent on the Chairman, David Reichman’s continued support, as well as our ability to raise capital.  Execution of the business plan is subject to this constraint as well as the finding of sufficient funding.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We realized revenues of $-0-during the year ended December 31, 2010. We presently do not have a steady source of revenue. Our operating expenses decreased from $104,931,563 in 2009 to $27,053,670 in 2010. The decrease was primarily the result of stock compensation expenses to officers, directors and consultants. General and administrative expenses increased from $584,503 to $592,644 or 1%. Compensation and professional fees decreased by $75,612,734, due to the decrease in the value of the stock compensation given to each.   Depreciation expense increased from $32,356 to $34,056 because of the purchase of office equipment in 2010.

Our net loss decreased by $77,829,540 from $104,945,249 in 2009 to $27,115,709 in 2010. This translates to a $1.39 decrease in loss per share from $(0.1.56) in 2009 to $(0.17) in 2010. Included in our net loss was $25,637,647 and $101,194,444 for the value of common stock and common stock purchase warrants and options which were issued in 2010 and 2009 respectively. Excluding these non cash expenses, our net loss would have been $1,478,063 and $3,750,805, respectively. We expect that our losses will continue to be approximately $100,000 per month until we are able to establish a reliable revenue flow.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2010 we had cash on hand of $2,674 compared to $104,891 at December 31, 2009. We used cash in our operations of $513,739 in 2010 compared to $488,388 in 2009, a 5% increase. We also used cash of $186,532 in 2010 in our investing activities compared to net cash used of $13,000 in 2009, due to the advances we paid to GeoGreen. We raised $52,575 and $110,500 from the sale of our common stock or exercises of stock options in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Additionally, we raised $574,464 and $208,381 from related party loans in 2010 and 2009, and $192,000 and $292,860 from other notes payable, respectively. We anticipate that we will continue to have a negative cash flow from operations of approximately $100,000 per month for 2011. We do not have sufficient cash on hand at December 31, 2010 to cover our negative cash flow. We will attempt to raise capital through the sale of our common stock or through debt financing.

All of Tree Top’s past due obligations, including our accounts payable, notes payable and judgments, some of which are duplicative, were incurred or obtained prior to 2005.  No actions have been taken by any of the applicable creditors.  Action by any such creditor would materially decrease our liquidity.  Tree Top has no credit facilities with which to resolve these outstanding obligations from prior years, but will fully resolve them upon a successful capital raise and monetary action of the business.   This may have a negative impact on our future liquidity in the event we must prioritize the repayment of these obligations when capital becomes available.  Tree Top shall attempt to negotiate favorable repayment schedules, if and when any applicable creditor takes any collection related actions. In addition, there is an amount due to officers and Directors equal to $2,409,012 as of December 31, 2010 and $1,345,769 as of December 31, 2009 respectively, which may increase if such officers and/or Directors continue to provide additional sums of money and/or services that are payable upon demand.  Our liquidity would decrease materially if any such officer or Director demanded repayment.  These loans must be considered in any capital raise and could continue to restrict our liquidity upon such capital raise if repayment is thereby demanded. Tree Top shall attempt to cause these officers and Directors to request repayment in a way as to not materially harm Tree Top’s liquidity.

Any remedy to our current lack of liquidity must take into account all the foregoing liabilities.  Tree Top intends to continue its pursuit to raise capital in order to monetize its business and pay all its liabilities.  Capital raise plans are under consideration but it cannot be assured that they will materialize in the current economic environment.  Currently, Tree Top is without adequate financing or assets.  Because no actions have been taken on the aforementioned past due obligations and demand has not been made by the applicable officers or Directors, we are unable to accurately quantify the effect the overdue accounts have on Tree Top’s financial condition, liquidity and capital resources.  However, in the event that all of these obligations and notes payable were required to be paid in an amount equal to the full balance of each, Tree Top would not be able to meet the obligations based upon its current financial status.   The liquidity shortfall of $3,776,118 would cause Tree Top to default and, further, would put our continued viability in jeopardy.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These principles require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, cash flow and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates include those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable reserves, income and other taxes, stock-based compensation and equipment and contingent obligations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.

We define our “critical accounting policies” as those U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that require us to make subjective estimates about matters that are uncertain and are likely to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations as well as the specific manner in which we apply those principles. Our estimates are based upon assumptions and judgments about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made and applied and require us to continually assess a range of potential outcomes. A detailed discussion of the critical accounting policies that most affect our company is located in Footnote 2 of the notes to our financial statements.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Tree Top Industries, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
 
 We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tree Top Industries, Inc.(A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. The financial statements for the period from inception (August 1, 2007) to December 31, 2008, were audited by other auditors whose report expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tree Top Industries, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Tree Top Industries, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Tree Top Industries, Inc. has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a working capital deficit and is dependent of financing to continue operations.  These issues raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, the Company has restated its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 to correct errors in its accounting for stock based compensation and valuation of notes receivable.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

A)           HISTORY

Western Exploration, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed on July 24, 1980.  In 1990, Western Exploration, Inc. changed its name to Nugget Exploration, Inc.  On November 10, 1999, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nugget Exploration, Inc., Nugget Holdings Corporation merged with and into GoHealthMD, Inc., a Delaware corporation.  Shortly thereafter, Nugget Exploration, Inc. changed its name to GoHealthMD, Inc. a Nevada corporation.

On August 18, 2004, GoHealthMD, Inc., the Nevada Corporation, changed its name to Tree Top Industries, Inc.  GoHealthMD, Inc. continues to exist as a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Tree Top Industries, Inc. NetThruster, Inc., BioEnergy Applied Technologies, Inc., Universal Energy and Services Group, Inc. and International Eye Care Centers, Inc. are also wholly owned subsidiaries of Tree Top Industries, Inc.
 
On April 24, 2009, the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with BioEnergy Applied Technologies Inc., a Nevada corporation (“BAT”), BioEnergy Systems Management Inc., Wimase Limited and Energetic Systems Inc., LLC.  Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of BAT.  The acquisition resulted in BAT becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company upon closing. The Exchange Agreement calls for the issuance of a total of 3,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.0001 per share, in exchange for the transfer of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of BAT to the Company.

BAT is the originator and incubator of environmentally friendly technologies useful in the areas of energetic materials, chemicals and chemical processes, gasification, and the safe and novel destruction of biological and other hazardous wastes.  The Company has been focused on the incubation growth and commercialization of novel technology platforms designed to address the fundamental limitations of many of today’s technologies and businesses.  The Company will seek to provide key technologies to the biofuels sector, designed to help make biofuels more cost effective and of a higher quality.

The Company has not realized significant revenues as of December 31, 2010 and is classified as a development stage enterprise in accordance with ASC 915.

B)            GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $27,115,709 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and has an accumulated deficit of $141,859,087. During 2009 the Company incurred losses totaling $104,945,249 and is in default on several notes payable (see Note 5). The Company also has negative working capital of $3,776,118 and $2,392,516 at the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and negative cash flow from operations of $513,739 and $488,388.

Since inception (August 1, 2007) through December 31, 2010, the Company has not generated any significant business. Through the date of these financial statements viable operations have not been achieved and the Company has been unsuccessful in raising all the capital that it requires. The Company has had no revenues and requires substantial financing. Most of the financing has been provided by David Reichman, the present Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.  The Company is dependent upon his ability and willingness to continue to provide such financing which is required to meet reporting and filing requirements of a public company.

In order for the Company to remain a going concern, it will need to continue to receive funds from the exercise of outstanding options or through other equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to receive any proceeds from the exercise of warrants or options or that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary funds to finance its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A)           PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ludicrous, Inc. and BioEnergy Applied Technologies Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

B)           USE OF MANAGEMENT’S ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These financial statements have material estimates for valuation of stock and option transactions.
 
 
18

 
 
C)           CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major financial institutions in the U S. Deposits held with these banks at times exceed $250,000 of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, no excess existed. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

D)           FIXED ASSETS

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 3 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the economic life of the asset. Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred.

E)           INCOME TAXES

The Company applies ASC 740 which requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  The asset and liability method requires that the current or deferred tax consequences of all events recognized in the financial statements are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be recovered.
 
The Company adopted ASC 740 at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach, requiring the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The adoption of ASC 740 had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are  reduced by a  valuation  allowance  when,  in the opinion  of  management,  it is more  likely  than not  that  some portion or all of the deferred  tax assets will to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

F)           REVENUE RECOGNITION

We recognize service revenues in accordance with the SEC’s ASC 605 Revenue Recognition and Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Revenue is recognized when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. At the inception of a customer contract for service, we make an assessment as to that customer’s ability to pay for the services provided. If we subsequently determine that collection from that customer is not reasonably assured, we record an allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense for all of that customer’s unpaid invoices and cease recognizing revenue for continued services provided until cash is received.

G)           STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.  ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward- known as the requisite service period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments.
 
Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair values as determined in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 595, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services”, and are periodically revalued as the stock options vest and are recognized as expense over the related service period.

H)           INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company adopted ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, and ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, effective June 2001 and revised in December 2007. ASC 805 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for any business combinations initiated after June 30, 2002, and further clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. Under ASC 350, goodwill and indefinite−life intangible assets are no longer amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually.
 
With the acquisition of BAT, Tree Top acquired fifteen (15) intellectual properties pertaining to the construction of the mobile configuration and operation of the glyd-arc medical waste destruction unit, as well as an enhanced configuration and novel method for coal gasification. These intangibles have an undefined life as the intellectual property has yet to be commercialized. However, because there are no comparable properties, and because there is no cash-flow being generated from these intangibles, the Company could not determine a fair value at December 31, 2009 and therefore recorded an impairment of the entire capitalized value of $2,275,000.
 
19

 
 
I)           FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

 
·
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
 
·
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
 
·
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
The following table presents the Company’s Notes Payable within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010 and 2009:
 

   
Level 1
   
Level 2

    -0-       -0-     $ 597,860

    -0-       -0-     $ 405,860  

The following table presents a Level 3 reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs as of December 31, 2010 and 2009:

   
Notes payable
 
Balance, December 31, 2008

Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (net)
    192,000  
Balance, December 31, 2010
  $ 597,8602  
 
J)           BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Computation of Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period; only in periods in which such effect is dilutive. For 2010 and 2009, 60,500,000 and 36,870,000, common equivalent shares were excluded from the calculation as their effects are anti-dilutive, respectively.

K)           RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements. This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers. Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”) as amendments to certain recognition and disclosure requirements. The amendments remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. Those amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature. All of the amendments in ASU 2010-09 were effective upon issuance for interim and annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2010-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-11, which is included in the Codification under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). This update clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Only an embedded credit derivative that is related to the subordination of one financial instrument to another qualifies for the exemption. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
 
 
20

 
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset derecognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-02 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. Effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis. Adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-01 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Accounting

Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 167. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2009-17 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 166. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2009-16 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standard Codification for EITF 09-1. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2009-15 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. This update changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2009-14 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP. This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation. Effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Due to officers and directors as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 totals $2,409,012 and $1,345,769, respectively.  These balances consist of net cash advances, bonuses, unpaid wages and unpaid expense reimbursements due to David Reichman and Kathy Griffin. The payables are unsecured, due on demand and do not bear interest. During 2010 Mr. Reichman advanced $574,464 to the Company to cover operating expenses, and was repaid $220,985. During 2009 Mr. Reichman advanced $235,138 to the Company and was repaid $0.

NOTE 4 - FIXED ASSETS

Depreciation expense was $34,056 and $32,356 during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Fixed assets consist of the following:

   
2010
   
2009
 
Computer equipment
  $ 128,311     $ 126,278  
Office equipment
    22,600       22,600  
Telephone equipment
    12,900       12,900  
 
    163,811       161,778  
Accumulated Depreciation
    (91,531 )     (60,059 )
 
  $ 72,280     $ 101,719  
 
 
21

 
 
During 2010, the Company disposed of various computer equipment with a net book value of $2,915. The asset and associated accumulated depreciation was removed from the books, generating a loss from disposal of assets of $2,915.

NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE – IN DEFAULT

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

The FASB has issued FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior authoritative literature: Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48)).  FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position.  If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.  As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Deferred tax assets and the valuation account are as follows:

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 740-10 to account for income taxes. The Company currently has no issues creating timing differences that would mandate deferred tax expense. Net operating losses would create possible tax assets in future years. Due to the uncertainty of the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards, an evaluation allowance has been made to the extent of any tax benefit that net operating losses may generate.  A provision for income taxes has not been made due to net operating loss carry-forwards of $5,651,447 and $4,352,390 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which may be offset against future taxable income through 2031. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Reductions in benefit due to income tax expense
    -       -  
Ending balance
  $ -     $ -  

The Company did not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations in the provision for income taxes.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
 
The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit from a supplier alleging nonpayment of amounts owed for services rendered. Management settled this lawsuit on November 30, 2001 and issued a note payable for $18,000 due September 1, 2002 with interest at 6% per annum in full settlement of this claim. As reflected in Notes Payable, the amount due on this note remains unpaid, and management has indicated that it has received no demand for payment from this note holder.

The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit from another supplier also alleging nonpayment of amounts owed for services rendered. This lawsuit was settled on May 1, 2002 by issuing a non interest bearing note payable for $25,000 due on September 12, 2002. The Company defaulted on this note, has not paid it to date and received a notice of motion dated October 22, 2002, seeking entry of a judgment for $30,000 plus interest effective December 6, 2002. The Company adjusted the note balance to $30,000 and has recorded interest expense at 6% per annum from May 1, 2002, the date of settlement, through the end of 2010.
 
The Company was a defendant in another lawsuit from a former consultant alleging nonpayment of amounts owed for services rendered. Management has executed a note payable to this plaintiff for $40,000 which was due on July 10, 2002 and remains unpaid. Pursuant to the terms of this note, the Company has recorded interest payable at 7% for the period July 10, 2002 through December 31, 2010.

TTI has filed suit in United States District Court against Dr. Steven Hoefflin for libel. The suit seeks redress in the form of enjoining the shareholder from any further harassment and in the form of damages from the shareholder and others who have allegedly abetted the shareholder’s actions.  This case was dismissed in New York and we are currently evaluating if it would be productive to file the claim in the Los Angeles County Federal Court.  

In addition, this same shareholder filed a third party cross complaint against TTI and one of its officers, in Los Angeles Superior Court. On May 25, 2010, the third party litigation case brought by Dr. Steven Hoefflin against TTI, and one of its officers, in LA Superior Court, index No .BC 392424, was dismissed with prejudice.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the extension of this contract an additional two years from the date of expiration, at an annual salary of $500,000.  Mr. Reichman’s salary has been accruing because Tree Top is without the resources to pay the salary in full.  This employment agreement was filed on November 7, 2007, as exhibit 99.2 to a current report of the Company on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

This salary increase accrued in 2010 because Tree Top was without resources to pay the salary increase.  This employment agreement was filed on March 25, 2010 as exhibit 10.1 to a current report of the Company on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference

NOTE 9 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On April 24, 2009, the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement with BioEnergy Applied Technologies Inc., a Nevada corporation (“BAT”), BioEnergy Systems Management Inc. , Wimase Limited and Energetic Systems Inc., LLC.  Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of BAT.  The acquisition resulted in BAT becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company upon closing. The Company issued a total of 3,500,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the transfer of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of BAT to the Company.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
 
Intangible assets - technology

Management valued the stock issued to acquire BAT based on the market price of Tree Top’s common stock on the date of closing on August 13, 2009.  This resulted in a price per share of $0.65 and an overall purchase price of $2,275,000.  The entire purchase price was allocated to the acquired technology.

As a result of the Company’s annual impairment analysis for long-lived assets performed in 2009, the Company determined that the intangible technology asset recorded upon the acquisition of BAT was impaired, based on management’s determination of projected future net cash flows of BAT. In connection with the impairment assessment performed, the Company recorded a charge to operations of $2,275,000 to reduce the value of the intangible asset to $-0-.

NOTE 10 – NOTE RECEIVABLE
 
On January 15, 2010, the Company entered into a loan agreement with GeoGreen Biofuels, Inc. (“GeoGreen”), which is effective as of December 1, 2009.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company agreed to finance the final stages of a facility build-out in order to begin processing waste cooking oils into biofuels. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company shall also help GeoGreen secure additional financing.  Furthermore, the Agreement provides the Company with the right of first refusal on future equity financings of GeoGreen. To date, the Company has advanced a total of approximately $192,000 to GeoGreen. During 2010 the Company ceased funding GeoGreen, as it was suffering financially and went out of business. The Company tried to collect on the $192,000 Note with no success, therefore an allowance for doubtful collection of $192,000 was established. During 2009, the Company advanced $13,000 to GeoGreen which was allowed for in the 2009 balance sheet with the remaining $179,000 being allowed for during 2010.

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with ASC 855-10 Company management reviewed all material events through the date of this report and there are no material subsequent events to report other than those reported below.

 On January 28, 2011, the Board of Directors of TreeTop adopted resolutions approving the disposition by the Company of all of the common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, NetThruster, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NetThruster”), in a spin-off to Tree Top’s shareholders on a pro rata basis (the “Spin-Off”).  Thereafter, NetThruster would be owned by Tree Top’s shareholders. David Reichman, the CEO of Tree Top was named Chairman of the Board, CEO and CFO of NetThruster.  Kathy M. Griffin was named a Director and corporate secretary. The Board of Directors of NetThruster is comprised of David Reichman and Kathy Griffin.
 
 
On February 9, 2011, Tree Top entered into a distribution agreement with NetThruster (the “Distribution Agreement”).  The Spin-Off is governed by the Distribution Agreement. The Spin-Off was disclosed in a Form 8–K, filed on February 9, 2011, which announced that the NetThruster division would be spun-off into a separate entity.

Tree Top owns all of the 274,699,100 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of NetThruster.  NetThruster currently has no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.  Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, Tree Top has agreed to distribute all of the common stock of NetThruster to Tree Top’s shareholders, such that each shareholder of record of Tree Top common stock on February 14, 2011 would receive one share of the common stock of NetThruster for every share of Tree Top’s common stock owned by such shareholder.  Each Tree Top shareholder must have proof of ownership of the Tree Top common stock in order to be eligible to receive the distribution of the common stock of NetThruster in the Spin-Off.  Tree Top expected to make the distribution for the Spin-Off on or before March 10, 2011.  However, Tree Top, upon authorization and a resolution from the Board of Directors, postponed the Spin-Off until a date on or before June 1, 2011. As of, and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, NetThrusters had no material operations.
 
Subsequent to year end, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 1,900,689 shares for services rendered.
 
NOTE 12 – RESTATEMENT

The Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 have been restated to record $43,471,396 of stock based compensation from both share issuances and options granted.

ITEM 9 CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

On August 24, 2010, Chisholm, Bierwolf, Nilson & Morrill, LLC (“CBNM”) notified the Company that, effective as of that date, CBNM was not going to stand for re-election as its independent auditor.   Effective the same date, the Company appointed Mark Bailey & Company, Ltd. as its new independent auditor and that decision was approved by the Company's Board of Directors. CBNM issued its auditor’s report on the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, both of which included an explanatory paragraph as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Other than the going concern uncertainty described above, CBNM’s audit report on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the subsequent interim periods through August 24, 2010, the date of resignation of CBNM, there were no disagreements with CBNM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to CBNM’s satisfaction, would have caused CBNM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years.  Furthermore, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company provided CBNM with a copy of the disclosure in the preceding two paragraphs and requested in writing that CBNM furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not they agree with such disclosures. CBNM provided a letter, dated August 24, 2010, stating its agreement with such statements.  Such letter was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to our Form 8-K, filed on August 24, 2010 and is incorporated herein by reference.

During the year ended December 31, 2009 and through the date of the Board of Directors’ decision, the Company did not consult Mark Bailey & Company, Ltd. with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matter or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
 
On February 11, 2011 Mark Bailey & Company (MB) verbally notified the Company that effective as of that date, the firm was resigning as its independent auditor.  Effective the same date, the Company appointed M&K CPAs, PLLC (M&K) as its new auditor and that decision to change the auditor was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on February 11, 2011.
 
At the time of resignation MB only reviewed the Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2010.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission.  David Reichman, our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that all information required to  be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Company’s controls are not effective due to a lack of the segregation of duties.   The Company lacks the appropriate personnel to handle all the varying recording and reporting tasks on a timely basis.  This material weakness was discovered in the first quarter of 2009 when Tree Top was informed by the SEC that its acquisition of Ludicrous, Inc. on October 19, 2007 should have been accounted for as a “reverse merger”, rather than an acquisition. The Company plans to address these material weaknesses as resources become available by hiring additional professional staff, such as a Chief Financial Officer, as funding becomes available, outsourcing certain aspects of the recording and reporting functions, and separating responsibilities.

The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;
 
 
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and
 
 
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 The framework our management uses to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is based on the guidance provided by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in its 1992 report: INTERNAL CONTROL – INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK.  Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2010 due to the same material weaknesses that rendered our disclosure controls and procedures ineffective.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is not effective due to a lack of sufficient resources to hire a support staff in order to separate duties between different individuals.  The Company lacks the appropriate personnel to handle all the varying recording and reporting tasks on a timely basis.   The Company plans to address these material weaknesses as resources become available by hiring additional professional staff, such as a Chief Financial Officer, as funding becomes available, outsourcing certain aspects of the recording and reporting functions, and separating responsibilities.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation requirements by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the year ended December 31, 2010 there was no significant change in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls

TTI’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within TTI 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. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls.  The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 
33

 
 
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of that our reports will be accurate. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concludes that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at that reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K due to the lack of sufficient segregation of duties and the lack of appropriate personnel.  The Company plans to address these material weaknesses as resources become available by hiring additional professional staff, such as a Chief Financial Officer, as funding becomes available, outsourcing certain aspects of the recording and reporting functions, and separating responsibilities.   Our future reports shall also indicate that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed for this reason and shall indicate the related conclusion by the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer as to their effectiveness.

PART III
 
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

As of December 31, 2010, the Board of Directors consisted of five Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the Directors, with the exception of Mr. Reichman and Mrs. Griffin, qualifies as “independent” as defined by SEC rules. In making this determination, the Board has concluded that none of these members has a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a Director.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Board of Directors held a total of 12 meetings.   Mr. Reichman, Mr. Benintendo, Mr. Gilbert and Mrs. Griffin attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and at least 75% of the meetings of the committees on which he or she served.   Mr. Hantman did not attend 75% of the meetings.

Don Gilbert, Treasurer, 75, has been a Director of TTI since November 2006 and a member of the Audit Committee since November 1, 2007.

To the best of our knowledge, during the past five 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 offences); (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 federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

Code of Conduct

We have adopted a Code of Conduct that governs the required ethical conduct of our Directors, officers and employees.  The text of the Code of Conduct has been posted on TTI’s website and can be viewed at www.TreeTopIndustriesInc.com.  Any waiver of the provisions of the Code of Conduct for executive officers and Directors may be made only by the Audit Committee and, in the case of a waiver for members of the Audit Committee, by the Board of Directors. Any such waivers will be promptly disclosed to our shareholders.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our Directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC and the OTCQB initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of shares of common stock of TTI. Officers, Directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Prior to the date of this filing, each of our Directors failed to file Form 3s and/or Form 4s in a timely manner.  However, this was corrected on July 19, 2010, by the filing of all of the required Form 3s and Form 4s by each of the Directors.

Robert Hantman should have filed a Form 3 on February 19, 2009, disclosing his receipt of 2,100,000 shares of common stock of TTI.  Frank Benintendo and Donald Gilbert should have filed Form 4s on February 19, 2009, disclosing their respective receipt of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of TTI.  David Reichman should have filed a Form 4 on February 19, 2009, disclosing his receipt of 3,900,000 shares of common stock of TTI.  Kathy Griffin should have filed a Form 3 on June 8, 2009, disclosing her receipt of 2,400,000 shares of common stock of TTI.  David Reichman should have filed a Form 4 on December 30, 2009, disclosing his receipt of 46,000,000 shares of common stock of TTI.  Kathy Griffin should have filed a Form 4 on May 6, 2010, disclosing her receipt of 7,500,000 shares of common stock of TTI.  On May 25, 2010:, Frank Benintendo should have filed a Form 4 disclosing receipt of 5,166,665 options; Donald Gilbert should have filed a Form 4 disclosing receipt of 5,166,665 options; Kathy Griffin should have filed a Form 4 disclosing receipt of 9,500,000 options; Robert Hantman should have filed a Form 4 disclosing receipt of 4,916,665 options and David Reichman should have filed a Form 4 disclosing receipt of 26,366,675 options.

Prior to the date of this filing, David Reichman failed to file a Form 4 in a timely manner.   However, this was corrected on April 8th, 2011, by the filing the required Form 4.

David Reichman should have filed a Form 4 on December 29th, 2010 disclosing his receipt of 51,000,000 shares of common stock.

Board Vacancies

 In the event of a vacancy on the Board of Directors, the Board will seek to identify and evaluate director candidates. Such evaluation involves (i) soliciting recommendations, (ii) meetings and background material relating to potential candidates and (iii) interviews of selected potential candidates by members of the Board of Directors.

In considering whether to recommend any particular candidate for inclusion in the Board of Directors’ slate of recommended director nominees, the Board reviews each potential candidate’s integrity, business acumen, knowledge of our business and industry, experience, diligence, absence of conflicts of interest and the ability to act in the interest of all stockholders. We believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our Directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will best allow the Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities.

Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Board for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting their names, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials and a statement as to whether the stockholder or group of stockholders making the recommendation has beneficially owned more than 5% of our common shares for at least a year as of the date such recommendation is made. The recommendation should be sent to the Board of Directors, c/o Frank Benintendo, Secretary, Tree Top Industries, Inc. 511 Sixth Avenue, Suite 800, New York, N.Y. 10011. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates recommended by our Board or others. If the Board of Directors determines to nominate a stockholder-recommended candidate and recommends his or her election, then his or her name will be included in the proxy card for the next annual meeting.

Nominating Committee

We do not currently have a nominating committee. We feel this is appropriate due to the small size of our company. Therefore, this function is handled directly by the Board of Directors.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee was established in accordance with section 3(a) (58) (A) of the Exchange Act. It is chaired by Donald Gilbert, a former US Treasury/IRS executive. Our Audit Committee does not have charter.  Our Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380),1 and as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T;

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountant required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant's independence; and

The Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in TTI's annual report on Form 10-K.

The Board determined the compensation for David Reichman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for 2010.  Mr. Reichman’s salary remained at $500,000 for 2010. This is less than the competitive labor market median for someone with his skills and talents, but reflective of the Company’s current cash position. The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Reichman regarding his responsibility for implementing the policies adopted by the Board of Directors    Due to Mr. Reichman’s willingness to forego his salary payment while the Company attempts to raise capital, the Board of Directors decided to issue 10,000,000 and 50,000,000 shares of Tree Top common stock to Mr. Reichman on April 24th, and December 29th, 2010 respectively.

The Board also determined the compensation for Mrs. Griffin, President, based on her undeterred commitment to Tree Top.  Her salary was increased from $127,500 in 2009 to $180,000 in 2010.  Due to the fact that Mrs. Griffin  was willing to forego her salary for the months of March and April, 2010, and her salary increase during 2010, the Board of Directors issued 5,000,0000 and 5,000,000 shares of common stock to Mrs. Griffin on April 24th and December 29th, 2010 respectively. Currently, her salary is less than the competitive labor market median for someone in her position, but reflective of the Company’s current cash position.

During the last fiscal year, both Mr. Reichman and Mrs. Griffin also received 10,000,000 and 5,000,000 options respectively for Tree Top common stock, exercisable through 2020 for their performance in fiscal year 2010.

Employment Agreements

Mr. Reichman’s employment agreement provides for:

·
a twenty-four months term through December 31, 2011 at an annual base salary of $500,000;
 
·
at least one annual salary review by the Board of Directors;
 
·
participation in any discretionary bonus plan established for senior executives;
 
·
retirement and medical plans, customary fringe benefits, vacation and sick leave

Mrs. Griffin’s employment agreement provides for:

·
a thirty-six month term through March 31, 2012 at an annual base salary of $180,000;
 
·
at least one annual salary review by the Chief Executive Officer;
 
·
participation in any discretionary bonus plan established for senior executives;
 
·
retirement and medical plans, customary fringe benefits, vacation and sick leave

Director Compensation

The members of the Board of Directors are compensated by grants of stock and options, in lieu of cash payments. The Directors were compensated with 3,500,000 shares of Tree Top common stock each and 2,500,000 options each.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Company has not and does not provide business services to executives or Directors of the Company or their family members. The Company has no agreement with Mr. Reichman for repayment of loans, other than the Board acknowledges and agrees that such loans, both of cash,  as well as non-payment of  salary and expenses are due on demand and without interest, except to the extent that interest charged by a bank, credit card, or other institution or person who  loaned money.   The Board also acknowledges and agrees that loans by Mrs. Griffin, specifically the non-payment of her salary, are due on demand and without interest.

Mr. Reichman is the principle shareholder in the Company, and has been since 2002.  He also operates as the CEO of the company and Chairman of the Board.  If not for the continued monetary support of Mr. Reichman, the Company would not have been able to meet its obligations for the last eight years.  Mrs. Griffin is the second principle shareholder and is President of the Company.  She has operated as President since May 28, 2009.

The aggregate amount of the loans outstanding and due to Mr. Reichman and Mrs. Griffin, is $2,409,012 as of December 31, 2010.  They are non-interest bearing, due on demand loans.
 
The Company’s Code of Conduct provides that when any potential conflict exists, it must be properly disclosed and an appropriate determination made by the Company. The Chairman and CEO is ultimately responsible for the determination. The Company’s policies and procedures were followed in connection with all of the above.

Director Independence

The Board of Directors has determined that each of the Directors, with the exception of Mr. Reichman and Mrs. Griffin, qualifies as “independent” directors, as that term is defined under the FINRA listing standards.
