TREE TOP INDUSTRIES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by Tree Top Industries, Inc. (“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 June 30, 2011, 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, 2010 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as disclosed in Item 2 below. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
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 has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
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.
Beneficial Conversion Feature of Debentures and Convertible Notes Payable
In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, we recognize the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible debt. Such rights give the debt holder the ability to convert his debt into common stock at a price per share that is less than the trading price to the public on the day the loan is made to us. The beneficial value is calculated as the intrinsic value (the market price of the stock at the commitment date in excess of the conversion rate) of the beneficial conversion feature of the debentures and related accruing interest, and is recorded as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid in capital. The discount is amortized over the remaining outstanding period of related debt using the interest method.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
No accounting pronouncements were issued during the second quarter 2011 that would have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Company when adopted.
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:
- 6 -
|
·
|
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 valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
|
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables 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 June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The balance due to related parties as of June 30, 2011 of $2,818,238 consisted of advances, payables and accrued wages to David Reichman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer of $2,536,481 and accrued wages to Kathy Griffin, the Company’s President of $281,757. As of December 31, 2010, the related party balance was $2,409,012, consisting of a balance due David Reichman of $2,205,654, and a balance due Kathy Griffin of $203,358. During the three month period ended June 30, 2011, Mr. Reichman advanced the company $89,078 and was repaid $53,073. During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, Mr Reichman advanced the company $158,966 and was repaid $80,746 The amounts due to the officers are due on demand, have no formal agreements, and accrue interest equal to that being charged individually on the debt. Interest accrued during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $5,413, for credit cards used on the Company’s behalf.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE:
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company engaged in four separate convertible note agreements with two individuals. Because the conversion feature was beneficial, a note discount using the intrinsic value was recorded as a contra liability, with the offsetting entry to paid in capital. The note discount was equal to each respective note principal amount. The discount will be accreted over the life of the respective notes using the effective interest method. The accretion was recorded as interest expense in the amount of $47,847 and $60,764 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The details of the new convertible notes payable are as follows:
March 3, 2011 – Convertible Note payable to an individual, payable in stock at double the principal amount on the date of maturity on September 3, 2011, unsecured, interest included in conversion. Conversion shares limited to total available authorized shares.
|
25,000 | |||
March 28, 2011 – Convertible Note payable to an individual, bears interest at 15%, convertible into Common stock at double the principal amount at the market rate on the date of maturity, due on June 28, 2011, unsecured, in default, Conversion shares limited to total available authorized shares
|
12,500 | |||

NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
ISSUANCES OF COMMON STOCK
On February 18, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of common stock to a Tree Top investor and shareholder for the continued use of his apartment in New York City by the president. The current business climate, as well as management’s continued effort and focus on finding additional sources of capital, potential acquisitions, and investment partners, made it essential that the president spend a significant amount of her time in New York. The issuance was valued at $48,200, the market price at the date of authorization.
On May 24, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of common stock to a consultant for services to be performed in assisting the Company to raise capital. The stock was not issued as of June 30, 2011 and has been recorded as Stock payable in the equity section. The shares were valued at the market price on the date of execution, in the amount of $26,800.

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;

|
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.
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
Tree Top Industries, Inc. (“TTI”, “Tree Top”, “we”, “our”, “us”, “the Company”, “management”) is a Nevada corporation, originally incorporated in 1980. Tree Top has the following active wholly owned subsidiaries:
GoHealthMD, Inc. was formed to house global healthcare products and technologies, primarily geared towards the developing world. GoHealthMD looks for prospective acquisition candidates in various emerging areas of scientific research, such as nanoscience, cancer research, and healthy lifestyle products in order to bring them into a public entity for the purpose of transparency and possible capital infusion.
NetThruster, Inc. was formed to provide high-definition content delivery network services to the media, music, video and software industries. Tree Top is currently evaluating the value of spinning the NetThruster subsidiary out as its own private company.
BioEnergy Applied Technologies, (“BAT”) was formed to house and develop 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 was also acquired to exploit its 15 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 warrant. 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 warrant 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 plans a capital raise for BAT in early 2012.
Eye Care Centers International, Inc. was formed to support the further growth and development of WorldWithoutBlindness, (“WWB”), an organization whose primary mission is to bring patented eye screening equipment to the developing world. The WWB technology uses objective parameters instead of traditional subjective eye chart examinations, to screen children as young as six months old. The screening can accurately indicate predisposition for glaucoma and other eye diseases which can lead to blindness, as well as a host of other possible diseases, completely unrelated to eyesight.
Sky Entertainment, Inc. was formed to house the potential acquisition of Sky Corporation. Sky Corporation is headquartered in Belgrade, Serbia and is an event production and management company, a distributor of professional musical equipment across the Adriatic region and the largest retailer of musical instruments and equipment in Serbia. Started as a local guitar shop and demo studio in 1995, Sky Corporation became a distributor for over 80 brands in the fields of music and light equipment. Sky Solutions doo, a division of Sky Corporation, is one of the largest production companies in Eastern Europe. It provides high level production for concerts, corporate events, festivals, etc. Sky Solutions is a turnkey solution for all types of private and corporate events. Adriatic Region Distribution doo, a division of Sky Corporation, is a regional distribution company for musical and sound/light equipment. It is the exclusive distributor in the region of ex-Yugoslavia and Albania for the top industry brands. Sky Music doo is another division of Sky Corporation. Sky Music’s main activity is selling professional audio and light equipment, as well as installing it in discothèques, clubs, public institutions, venues, and concert halls. Sky Music has done more than five hundred audio & light installations all over Serbia. This division also is in direct sales, oriented to selling musical instruments, studio and broadcast equipment, as well as testing and demonstrating instruments, and offering the service of consulting and equipment installation in radio and TV stations, studios, conference rooms and rooms for multimedia presentations. Sky Corporation’s growth plan calls for double digit growth over the next three years and a planned expansion into the rest of Eastern Europe and eventually to Western Europe.

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.
On January 28, 2011, the Board of Directors of Tree Top 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. In a subsequent Board of Directors meeting held on June 30, 2011, the Board directed management to indefinitely postpone the spin-off of NetThruster until such time as management had the resources and time to effectively evaluate the pros and cons of the possible spin-off.

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, 2010. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as of June 30, 2011 and for the six months then ended.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
We had no revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Our operating expenses decreased from $17,699,634 to $279,634 during these periods. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in compensation and professional fees recorded from the market value of shares and options issued to officers and consultants to the Company. Our net loss was $343,488 in the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to a net loss of $17,707,956 in the same period of 2010. The increase in interest expense of $55,532 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to June 30, 2010, was due to the accretion of the note discounts created by beneficial conversion features on convertible debt.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
We had no revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Our operating expenses decreased from $18,486,731 to $661,952 during these periods. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in compensation and professional fees recorded from the market value of shares and options issued to officers and consultants to the Company. During 2010 general and administrative expenses were higher due to bad debt that was recorded on a note receivable of the Company. Our net loss was $753,629 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to a net loss of $18,503,375 in the same period of 2010. Excluding non cash expenses our net loss would have been $455,361 and $381,176 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's cash position was $278 at June 30, 2011 compared to $2,674 at December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had current assets of $278 and current liabilities of $4,266,170 compared to $2,674 and $3,778,792 respectively as of December 31, 2010. This resulted in a working capital deficit of $4,265,892 at June 30, 2011 and $3,776,118 at December 31, 2010.
Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $152,810 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $192,940 of net cash used in operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. Net cash used in operating activities decreased by approximately $40,130.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $0 and $179,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Advances totaling $179,000 were made to GeoGreen Biofuels, Inc pursuant to the loan agreement entered into during January of 2010.
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $150,414 and $268,579 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease from 2010 to 2011 resulted primarily from the decrease in cash received from notes payable and related party loans.
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, 2010. 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.

Item 4. 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 June 30, 2011 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. 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 the Company was informed by the SEC that its acquisition of Ludicrous. 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 Company believes that it would require approximately $250,000 per year in available funds in order to retain the qualified personnel required for effective disclosure controls and procedures.
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 June 30, 2011 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 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. 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, and was dismissed with prejudice.
