TREE TOP INDUSTRIES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at Mach 31, 2010, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2009 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2010 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $403,525 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and has an accumulated deficit of $71,675,509.
Since inception (August 1, 2007) through December 31, 2009, the Company has not generated any significant revenue and has sustained recurring losses. Through the date of these financial statements viable operations have not been achieved and Tree Top has been unsuccessful in raising all the capital that it requires. Tree Top 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. . Tree Top 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 warrants and options or through other equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that Tree Top will continue to receive any proceeds from the exercise of warrants or options or that Tree Top 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 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 de-recognition 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 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.

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 Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-14 to 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 (deliverables) 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 prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This update provides amendments to Topic 820 for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-12 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

The provisions of EITF 09-1, clarifies the accounting treatment and disclosure of share-lending arrangements that are classified as equity in the financial statements of the share lender. An example of a share-lending arrangement is an agreement between the Company (share lender) and an investment bank (share borrower) which allows the investment bank to use the loaned shares to enter into equity derivative contracts with investors. EITF 09-1 is effective for fiscal years that beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and requires retrospective application for all arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Share-lending arrangements that have been terminated as a result of counterparty default prior to December 15, 2009, but for which the entity has not reached a final settlement as of December 15, 2009 are within the scope. Effective for share-lending arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the provisions of EITF 09-1 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cautionary Statements
This Form 10-Q may contain "forward-looking statements," as that term is used in federal securities laws, about Tree Top Industries, Inc.'s financial condition, results of operations and business. These statements include, among others:
o
|
statements concerning the potential benefits that Tree Top Industries, Inc. ("TTI" or the "Company") may experience from its business activities and certain transactions it contemplates or has completed; and
|
o
|
statements of TTI's 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-Q. 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-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause TTI's actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by TTI in those statements. The most important facts that could prevent TTI from achieving its stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
(a) volatility or decline of TTI's stock price;
(b) potential fluctuation of quarterly results;
(c) failure of TTI to earn revenues or profits;
|
(d) inadequate capital to continue or expand its business, and inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement its business plans;
|
(e) failure to commercialize TTI's technology or to make sales;
(f) decline in demand for TTI's products and services;
(g) rapid adverse changes in markets;
|
(h) litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties against TTI, including but not limited to challenges to TTI's intellectual property rights;
|
(i) insufficient revenues to cover operating costs;
(j) failure of the BAT technology to function properly
There is no assurance that TTI will be profitable, TTI may not be able to successfully develop, manage or market its products and services, TTI may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and technology personnel, TTI may not be able to obtain customers for its products or services, TTI's products and services may become obsolete, government regulation may hinder TTI's business, additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock options, or the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options, and other risks inherent in TTI's businesses.
12
Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. TTI cautions you not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that TTI or persons acting on its behalf may issue. TTI does not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts' expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Current Overview
Effective August 13th, 2009, TTI completed a stock-for-stock exchange with BioEnergy Applied Technologies, Inc. (“BAT”), BioEnergy Systems Management, Inc. (“Bio”), Wimase Limited (“Wimase”) and Energetic Systems Inc., LLC, (“Energetic”, and together with Bio and Wimase, the “Stockholders”). TTI acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of BAT. TTI 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 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.
BAT was acquired to exploit their 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.
TTI 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.
TTI also owns 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of NetThruster, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“NetThruster”), which was formally known as Ludicrous, Inc. (“Ludicrous”). TTI was previously known as GoHealth.MD, Inc. (“GoHealth.Md”). GoHealth.Md was incorporated in Nevada in May 2000. GoHealth was a web based resource provider for certain alternative health- care oriented professionals. In January 2002, GoHealth.MD, Inc. ceased these operations. TTI continued to exist as a public company with no active operations until 2007.
NetThruster was formed to be a provider of high-performance content delivery network (“CDN”) services. Currently, due to recent industry developments, TTI is in the process of re-evaluating the NetThruster technology, and as such, has temporarily ceased active development of this subsidiary.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We monitor our estimates on an on-going basis for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.
Certain of our accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal and understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require us to apply significant judgment in their application. As a result, these policies are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, we use our judgment in making certain assumption and estimates. Our critical accounting policies are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as of March 31, 2010 and for the three months then ended.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
We had no revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Our operating expenses decreased from $1,229,710 to $395,203 during these periods. The decreased is primarily due to reductions in officer compensation and professional fees. In the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company issued a total of $923,963 in common stock and stock options to management and consultants as compared to $260,000 in the same period ended 2010. This amount will be amortized over the three month term of the agreement. This amount will be amortized over the three month term of the agreement. Our net loss was $403,525 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a net loss of $1,231,786 in the same period of 2009. Excluding non cash expenses our net loss would have been $135,437 and $303,638 in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's cash position was $21,966 at March 31, 2010 compared to $104,891 at December 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had current assets of $367,077 and current liabilities of $2,872,343 compared to $117,891 and $2,487,720 respectively as of December 31, 2009. This resulted in working capital deficit of $2,505,266 at March 31, 2010 and $2,369,829 at December 31, 2009.
Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $272,545 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $260,435 of net cash used in operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. Net cash used in operating activities increased only marginally and was mainly due to the Company paying increase in salaries and wages offset by a decrease in rent and travel expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $179,000 and $17,977 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company purchased equipment during 2009 and no capital expenditures were made during 2010. Advances totaling $179,000 were made to GeoGreen Biofuels, Inc pursuant to the loan agreement entered into during January of 2010.
14
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $368,620 and $569,755 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease from 2009 to 2010 resulted primarily from the sale of common stock for cash totaling $725,000 in 2009. The Company had net repayments of officers’ loans of $155,245 in 2009 compared to net borrowings of $176,620 in 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 the Company also received $192,000 in proceeds from notes payable.
The Company does not have sufficient capital to meet its current cash needs, which include the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends to seek additional capital and long-term debt financing to attempt to overcome its working capital deficit. The Company will need between $150,000 and $200,000 annually to maintain its reporting obligations. Financing options may be available to the Company either via a private placement or through the public sale of stock. The Company will seek to raise sufficient capital to market the BAT technology and to sustain monthly operations. There is no assurance, however, that the available funds will be available or adequate. Its need for additional financing is likely to persist.
Going Concern Qualification
The Company has incurred significant losses from operations, and such losses are expected to continue. The Company's auditors have included a "Going Concern Qualification" in their report for the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, the Company has limited working capital. The foregoing raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include seeking additional capital and/or debt financing. There is no guarantee that additional capital and/or debt financing will be available when and to the extent required, or that if available, it will be on terms acceptable to the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The "Going Concern Qualification" may make it substantially more difficult to raise capital.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure 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 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 March 31, 2010 these disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective 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.
15
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.
|
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control 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.
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 ineffective at that reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. 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 II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
TTI has filed suit in United States District Court.against Dr. Steven Hoefflin for libel against the Company. 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. TTI is confident of prevailing in this suit although there is no assurance regarding the results of litigation. 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, we have recently become aware this same shareholder has filed a third party cross complaint against TTI and one of its officers, in Los Angeles Superior Court. TTI is confident of prevailing in this suit although there is no assurance regarding the results of litigation.
