General
JBI, Inc.
(f/k/a 310 Holdings Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 20,
2006. John Bordynuik purchased 63% of the issued and outstanding shares of 310
Holdings on April 24, 2009. Subsequently, John Bordynuik was appointed President
and CEO of the Company. Management is transitioning our company to become a
global technology leader whose purpose is to mine data from Bordynuik’s large
information archive, find under-productive entities to inject our superior
proprietary technologies into, and benefit from increased productivity and
profitability, beginning with Plastic2Oil. Management believes that it has
assembled an experienced team of professionals that will allow the Company to
grow both organically (within each subsidiary) and through synergistic
acquisitions that have a demonstrated propensity towards being
eco-friendly.
On June
25, 2009, JBI, Inc. (f/k/a 310 Holdings, Inc.) (the “Company”) entered into an
asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) to purchase and assume certain assets
of John Bordynuik, Inc. (“JBI”), a Delaware corporation. This was an
arms-length agreement between the Company and JBI by President and CEO John
Bordynuik, who is the majority shareholder in both 310 Holdings (now JBI, Inc.)
and John Bordynuik Inc.
Under the
terms of the Agreement, the Company issued 809,593 shares of common stock, par
value $0.001 per share in consideration for the assets of
JBI. The closing of the Agreement occurred on July 15,
2009.
1
In 2009
Mr. Bordynuik exchanged cash for 66,667 shares of stock (at $3 per share) and he
received 23,846 shares to cancel debt at $3 per share. Since
April 2009, Mr. Bordynuik has returned 31 million shares of his personal stock
to the Company. The Company issued Mr. Bordynuik 1 million
shares of preferred stock with no conversion, no dividend rights but with
100 to 1 voting rights (as compared to common stock).
On August
24, 2009, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of
JavaCo, Inc. from Domark International, Inc. in exchange for $150,000 in cash
and 2,500,000 shares of common stock. On the same date the Company
issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Domark in exchange for media credits
that were valued at $9,997,134.
On
September 30, 2009, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interests of
Pak-It, LLC in exchange for $1,200,000 in cash and 625,000 shares and the
assumption of $2,665,000 in short and long term debts. Pak-It, LLC
owns 100% of the stock of Dickler Chemical Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a DCL
Solutions.
On
January 14, 2010, the Company consummated a confidential private placement with
certain accredited investors for the issuance and sale of 8,260,842 shares of
the common stock. The offering was at $0.80 and the gross proceeds
received by the Company were $6,608,673. The offering was made in
connection with the acquisition of Pak-It, LLC and within the offering converted
$2,736,000 of debt owed to the Pak-It members at a per share price of
$0.80. The total shares issued pursuant to the offering were
8,260,842.
JBI,
Inc., the holding company, is an operating parent company which includes certain
corporate officers and certain assets of John Bordynuik, Inc. which was acquired
by the Company on July 15, 2009. The assets acquired from John Bordynuik, Inc.
were predominantly custom tape drives, computer hardware, servers, and a mobile
data recovery container to read and migrate data from computer tapes. The
Company used the hardware to immediately service existing clients of the Company
which includes processing tapes from NASA. Other clients include MIT, Harvard,
the US Army, and Fortune 100 companies. This Agreement will allow the Company to
read tapes to realize the revenue of migrating data of customers’ tapes at a
flat rate.
As
“JavaCo” the Company is part of the Supplier Diversity Network, WBENC and
currently distributes over 100 lines of equipment from fiber optic transmitters
to RF connectors.
As
“Pak-It™” the Company manufactures and supplies cleaning chemicals for “back of
the house” cleaning for regional and national accounts. All U.S. Home
Depots are cleaned using Pak-It products. The Company owns a patent that allows
the Company to deliver condensed cleaning chemicals in water soluble
film. In the second quarter of 2010 the Company expects to enter the
retail market.
On
December 22, 2009, the Company and Rick Heddle agreed to a Joint Venture whereby
Heddle Marine Service, Inc. will retrofit ships with P2O processors. The Company
is now finalizing a JV Agreement for production of its first P2O ship with
Heddle. JBI anticipates contracting with various countries to convert their
plastic waste into oil. Also, JBI signed a Letter of Intent for the
establishment of an Area Development Agreement (ADA) for 45 P2O sites in the
State of Florida with AS PTO, LLC, an entity controlled by Al Sousa of Largo,
Florida. Both Heddle and Sousa have strong management capabilities
and are expected to be essential to the scaling up of a nationwide P2O
launch.
On
February 4, 2010, the Company formed a wholly owned New York corporation, JBI RE
#1, Inc. to purchase an industrial building containing 14,860 square feet that
is situated on about 3.37 acres of land in Niagara Falls, NY. This
entity will house the first commercial operation of Plastic2Oil
(“P2O”). On February 9, 2010, the Company formed two Nevada
corporations as wholly owned subsidiaries; Plastic2Oil Land, Inc., Plastic2Oil
Marine, Inc. to operate P2O operations on land and sea,
respectively. The Company expects to begin commercial operations of
converting waste plastic to oil in the second quarter of 2010. In
addition, the Company entered into its first Area Development Agreement with AS
PTO, LLC to promote licensing and P2O operations in Florida using a combination
of Joint Ventures (JV’s) and Company owned sites. In February the
first license was issued to Plastic 2 Oil of Clearwater 1, LLC (a Delaware LLC)
and was arranged with members Plastic2Oil Land, Inc., AS PTO, LLC, and ES
Resources, LLC.
2
John
Bordynuik is the CEO and Director of the Plastic2Oil corporations and he is
overseeing a professional team that is primarily comprised of value based
managers who are also shareholders of JBI. The Plastic2Oil Land, Inc.
Chief Operating Officer will be Robert Shoemaker who, prior to taking on this
role, was CEO of Pak-It, LLC. Mr. Shoemaker takes no
salary. Assisting Mr. Shoemaker (also with no salaries) are Richard
M. Haber, Esq., Steven Weiss, Esq., Paul Raymond, Esq., Geoffrey Weber, CPA, and
Al Sousa (Mr. Sousa is the Area Developer for Florida and he provides advisory
services to P2O at no-charge).
Michael
Kaplanis (JBI VP of Mergers, Acquisition & Strategy) provides research and
analytical support to the P2O operations as does JBI Chief Financial Officer,
Ronald Baldwin. The P2O professionals have developed a strategy and
business plan for the global launch of P2O that utilizes a combination of Area
Development Agreements, licenses, JV’s and Company owned sites. Their
compensation is strictly “value based” and will be directly correlated with P2O
profitability.
Data
Migration
JBI reads
high volume legacy data computer tapes for large institutions and corporations.
JBI is sole sourced by NASA and reads their 7 & 9 track computer tapes
written from the 1960’s to 2000’s. Millions of tapes were written during this
period and the data has not been recoverable to date.
John
Bordynuik, President of JBI, has developed the technology to read legacy data
computer tapes and to extract and recover the valuable data contained therein.
Mr. Bordynuik has built a strong reputation in legacy data recovery and has
completed recovery projects for NASA, MIT, United Nations, the Ontario
Provincial Government, and other institutions and their founders.
Mr.
Bordynuik has experience cracking encryption used to store data onto tapes and
deciphering data for clients; this is extremely valuable in the process of
legacy data recovery and provides a value–added service to customers. Usually,
JBI’s services are required to decipher tape data after recovery. All data,
sensitive or private, is stored in a secure location and viewed only by Mr.
Bordynuik. JBI employs Mr. Bordynuik’s software to decipher all data and convert
it to modern file formats as requested by clients.
Mr.
Bordynuik has developed technology to prove mechanically that the recovered data
is 100% accurate. Prior to the development of this technology old media read on
original equipment could not be validated and its output was generally
poor.
JBI’s
technology is valuable to governmental and educational institutions, and in the
recovery of seismic data. As an example, earth science sensor data compiled by
NASA and stored on tapes can now be viewed and studied on a single computer. At
the time that these legacy tapes were written, it was not uncommon for large IBM
mainframes to have 8 kilobytes of dynamic memory and no disk drive. In the past,
it has not been possible to process decades of sensor data due to limited disk
storage, lack of dynamic memory and limited processing power, and inability to
read old tapes. From a business-unit perspective, every tape is considered a
“national asset” and high volumes of paperwork, administration and storage costs
are required to manage them. JBI can usually amalgamate 200,000 national assets
(tapes) into one national asset (hard disk array).
We have
scaled to handle multiple clients and have developed a tape transcription,
migration and normalization technology for the oil and gas market. To date,
JBI’s business has been unsolicited. In the future, JBI will utilize existing
relationships to seek new business and will seek relationships with oil and gas
clients to read their seismic data tapes.
JBI
designed and manufactured a 40-foot Mobile Data Recovery Container complete with
18 tape drives, photographing stations, servers, air handling, tape dehydration
systems, and room for tape libraries. This container is capable of reading in
excess of 700 tapes per day. It is an innovative solution to remotely read large
volumes of seismic data tapes for Oil and Gas as well as highly sensitive tapes
for Government Defense Departments. JBI is now able to transport its proprietary
technologies and processes directly to clients’ sites in order to read tapes
that contain exceptionally sensitive data or are restricted through governmental
regulations from going off-site.
3
JBI does
not use off-the-shelf-hardware and software and has the ability to design
technology to recover most legacy data and most modern media. Through
proprietary research and development that applies technology solutions with
artificial intelligence and custom hardware, firmware and software, JBI provides
the innovation necessary to be competitive in today’s market.
JBI holds
a US patent (7,115,872) for a dirty bomb detector and is exploring the
possibilities of licensing this technology to the market.
JBI
sponsored the IEEE Mass Storage Systems and Technologies Conference in Maryland
in September 2008. Mr. Bordynuik spoke at the event to highlight JBI’s findings.
The attendees are representatives from institutions in the United States and
internationally. This was a significant event for JBI.
Data
Migration Products
Magnetic Computer Backup
Tapes:
JBI is
sole sourced by institutions to read their large volume of legacy data 7 & 9
track tapes. In August 2008, JBI met with NASA to discuss further procurement
requirements and to work out scheduling for the arrival of more tapes. NASA has
since sole sourced JBI for all their legacy tape recovery and migration and
sends shipments of tapes on a regular basis.
JBI has
read thousands of tapes for MIT. These were written from the 1960s through 1995.
The scalability of its proprietary technology enables JBI to easily expand data
recovery services for new media types. JBI will continue to use economies of
scale to increase volume and lower costs.
JBI will
use economies of scope to provide data recovery solutions for newer types of
magnetic media that include microfiche, optical media and film. JBI will
leverage the unique strategic alliance with Mr. Bordynuik to establish long-term
licensing of technologies used in our products and services. JBI will focus on
reliable and timely delivery and quality outcomes. JBI will build, strengthen
and manage the JBI brand.
Radiation
Detection Products
JBI owns
a broad-based patent for a handheld and network able dirty bomb detection
sensor. JBI has not built or sold any product under this patent to
date.
Plastic2Oil
Plastic2Oil
(“P2O”) was discovered by President John Bordynuik while mining through tape
drive research archives. Mr. Bordynuik found the solution to a process involving
breaking down plastic molecules. This research was conducted when plastic was in
its infancy and oil prices were very low. It appears to our management that the
research was conducted for non-commercial purposes and had no commercial value
at the time.
Mr.
Bordynuik explored plastic recycling when employed at the Ontario, Canada
Legislature but there was no research available at that time to make the
conversion commercially viable. Mr. Bordynuik's research was triggered when
beverage companies began to phase out returnable glass bottles, in favor of
plastic. JBI's research has revealed that this process and catalyst
is not presently commercialized. By integrating this technology into a large
batch processor the Company believes that it can accomplish the
following:
·
|
Approximately
one liter of fuel is extracted from a kilogram of
plastic
|
·
|
The
gas byproduct provides the energy necessary to fuel the process thereby
eliminating energy costs
|
·
|
Due
to our catalyst and a highly optimized process, fuel can be extracted in
four hours from a large source of raw unwashed, mixed
plastics
|
·
|
Raw
plastic materials can be acquired in many forms at little or no
cost.
|
·
|
This
technology has significant advantages over biodiesel operations due to
biodiesel's high operating costs, the high costs of raw materials, and the
high energy requirements by their
processes.
|
4
Alan
Barnett, JBI's Head Chemist, will oversee the optimization and deployment of
JBI's first volume Plastic2Oil processor. Alan’s experience includes
over 25 years as a chemist and the key to the P2O process involves a chemical
catalyst that is used to break down the plastic most efficiently.
It is
important to note that technology exists to convert plastic to oil; however the
processes presently utilized require excessive amounts of energy, have low
yields, and in many cases cause dramatic emission pollutants. In addition there
are alternative fuels being produced that do not appear to be economically
viable. For instance, many biodiesel facilities have filed bankruptcy because
their energy conversion costs exceed the value of the diesel product they
produce.
In
particular biodiesel producers have the following challenges:
·
|
High-energy
requirements;
|
·
|
Very
poor energy return;
|
·
|
As
oil prices rise, biodiesel won't necessarily become more
viable;
|
·
|
Large
biodiesel plants incur high transportation costs of raw and processed
materials;
|
·
|
Algae
biodiesel presently costs $32/gallon to
produce;
|
·
|
Biodiesel
factories are heavily dependent on commodity prices of raw materials and
energy prices
|
Management
intends to exploit its technology to overcome the challenges facing
alternative energy corporations.
JAVACO,
Inc.
In August
2009, JBI and Domark closed a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby JBI
purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of JAVACO, Inc.
(“Javaco”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Domark, in exchange for $150,000 and
the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to
Domark.
In
connection with the Agreement, Domark has also assigned $9,997,134 of media
credits in print and radio to the Company in exchange for the issuance of
1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company intends
to move quickly to make use of the media credits as they are available to
Pak-It, P2O and Javaco. The value of these credits is expected to be
realized through faster market penetration.
JAVACO,
Inc., formerly JAVA Company, opened for business in 1997 as a sole
proprietorship. Prior to opening JAVA Company, Judith Vazquez, owner and
President, worked several years in distribution sales and finally with RMS
Electronics/Channel. JAVA Company's initial focus was the sale of used cable TV
equipment, including amplifiers and converters to Colombia, Venezuela and
Mexico.
JAVA
Company teamed up with a distributor in Argentina to jointly cover a larger
Latin American market. JAVA Company acted as their US office, providing sales
expertise and a much needed North American connection with the manufacturers.
JAVA Company coordinated the sale, expediting, invoicing and exporting of
equipment purchased from the US and Canadian suppliers.
JAVACO,
Inc. incorporated in March 2000. JAVACO, Inc. is part of the Supplier Diversity
Network, WBENC. JAVACO, Inc. currently distributes over 100 lines of equipment
from fiber optic transmitters to RF connectors. To further enhance business in
the United States, new distribution lines are frequently being added including a
line of home theater and audio video products. Early in 2002, JAVACO, Inc.
expanded its US business when it hired Tina Tomblin, with over 20 years in the
cable television industry in both operations and sales, to manage sales in the
United States. JAVACO, Inc. will assist in establishing Plastic2Oil
sites in Mexico and Latin America using its established business connections and
knowledge in those areas. JAVACO, Inc. also has access to high quality plastics
generally discarded by cable television and telephone companies.

Pak-It, LLC
Pak-It
was formed in 2007 to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Dickler Chemical
Laboratories, Inc. (“DCL”). DCL was formed in 1968 to
manufacture and sell industrial cleaning chemicals regionally (the Philadelphia
"tri-state” area). For about 10 years prior to the acquisition, the company had
consistently recorded revenues in the $5 million to $6 million range with
profits in the $200,000+ range. Pak-It purchased DCL stock in
October, 2007 and on January 1, 2008 merged the DCL Pennsylvania corporation
into a newly formed Florida corporation of the same name. The company
now does business as Pak-It™, DCL Solutions, and Vanguard with its
administrative and selling office at 311 Park Place, Suite 190 Clearwater,
Florida, and the DCL factory leased at 4201 Torresdale Avenue, Philadelphia,
PA. The DCL factory is situated on about 1.5 acres of land and has
nearly 60,000 SF of manufacturing space under roof.
Using the
patented Pak-It™ delivery system (liquid cleaner in a water soluble sachet) the
company delivers glass cleaner, disinfectant, multi-purpose, and many more
cleaning products (42 products currently) shipped in tiny packages of condensed
cleaner (inside a ‘dry’ 1 quart container). This delivery method is
“green” since it’s fully biodegradable and saves thousands of dollars in
shipping. The user simply adds water to the container without measuring or
cutting the Pak-It™. Large retailers (like Home Depot and Office
Depot) and many national Building Service Contractors already using the product
have documented significant cost savings from shipping, training, inventory
control and space utilization.
Pak-It
also produces private label liquid cleaning supplies for a variety of well known
companies, including a retail marine supply company and an international company
that sells Pak-It’s with its pressure washers.
Pak-It
provides an innovative, technological approach to chemicals, both in terms of
portion control solutions and product breadth that constantly seeks to improve
quality and consistency. Pak-It also provides an operational focus on
logistics that offers individual “kits” designed to meet specific cleaning
requirements, delivered directly to each location, while remaining flexible
toward meeting other customer needs.
The
combination of Pak-It and the Company will assure that the Company will continue
to focus on strong internal growth. For instance, the Company has
relationships with buyers from NASA and other government agencies that will
facilitate Pak-It products being tested and hopefully purchased by these large
institutions.
The
acquisition of Pak-It provides the Company with an expanded management and
consulting team that has vast experience in operations, including setting up
joint ventures, franchises and real estate based ventures. This team
will be instrumental in executing the P2O model to market.
Further,
with the addition of Pak-It, LLC, Mr. Barnett will have access to the Pak-It
laboratory and the Pak-It chemist (who also has over 25 years of industry
experience) and the Company will be well positioned to begin P2O operations in
Philadelphia and the tri-state area.
JBI has
engaged the services of Western Creative to launch Pak-It products in the retail
market through a comprehensive infomercial campaign.
Competition
In each of its operating units, JBI is
subject to highly competitive environments in the industries in which it
operates.
The Pak-It business faces a highly
competitive environment in the bulk chemical cleaning industry. As Pak-It moves
towards a retail launch of its products, it will face competition from domestic
and international brands of cleaning solutions. Pak-It faces numerous
competitors in every product category:
6

|
Javaco
operates in a very competitive environment in the distribution of fiber optic
transmitters and RF connectors. Competition in Mexico and South America can come
from local and international suppliers of similar technologies and products. As
Javaco adds new lines of products, it faces new risks and competition associated
with diversifying its product offerings.
The
renewable energy sector and recycled products sectors are highly competitive.
Plastic2Oil is in the process of commercializing its processor and catalyst
technologies and there is risk associated with being a new entrant into the
alternative energy sector. Profitability in the Plastic2Oil business will depend
largely on the access to waste plastic feedstock where prices can fluctuate
significantly. Plastic2Oil faces competition from other recycling solution
products for access to feedstock in addition to facing competition from the
traditional refined products industry.
The data
migration business faces competition from industry specialists who may seek to
develop 7 & 9 track computer-reading technologies to gain access to data
that has not been recoverable to date.
Research
and Development
JBI does
not use off-the-shelf-hardware and software and has the ability to design

Environmental
As JBI develops and commercializes its
Plastic2Oil business it will be subject to extensive and frequently developing
federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to
those relating to emissions requirements, fuel production, fuel transportation,
fuel storage, waste management, waste storage, composition of fuels and
permitting. Compliance with current and future regulations increases the
potential costs of operating JBI’s subsidiaries.
Employees
As of
December 31, 2009, JBI and its subsidiaries have approximately 61 employees
other than our CEO. The Company also uses a broad base of experienced
consultants who generally work on valued added agreements.

ITEM
1A. RISK
FACTORS
Risks
Relating to Our Business
In addition to the other information
included in this Form 10-K, the following risk factors should be considered in
evaluating our businesses and future prospects. These risk factors represent
what we believe to be the known material risk factors with respect to us and our
business. Our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition
are subject to these risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual
results to vary materially from recent results or from anticipated future
results.
We
need to manage growth in operations to maximize our potential growth and achieve
our expected revenues and our failure to manage growth will cause a disruption
of our operations resulting in the failure to generate revenue.
In order
to maximize potential growth in our current and potential markets, we believe
that we must expand our marketing operations. This expansion will place a
significant strain on our management and our operational, accounting, and
information systems. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our
financial controls, operating procedures, and management information systems. We
will also need to effectively train, motivate, and manage our employees. Our
failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent
us from generating the revenues we expect.
In order
to achieve the above mentioned targets, the general strategies of our company
are to maintain and search for hard-working employees who have innovative
initiatives; on the other hand, our company will also keep a close eye on
expanding opportunities.
If
we need additional capital to fund our growing operations, we may not be able to
obtain sufficient capital and may be forced to limit the scope of our
operations.
If
adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms, we may not
be able to undertake expansion, continue our marketing efforts and we would have
to modify our business plans accordingly. There is no assurance that additional
financing will be available to us.
In
connection with our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs
and, accordingly, we may not have sufficient capital to fund our future
operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend
on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of
competitive products by our competition; (iii) the level of our investment in
research and development; and (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures,
including acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain
capital in the future to meet our needs.
Even if
we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms
and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us.
Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and
adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In
addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain
financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common
stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be
available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
Need
for additional employees.
The
Company’s future success also depends upon its continuing ability to attract and
retain highly qualified personnel. Expansion of the Company’s business and the
management and operation of the Company will require additional managers and
employees with industry experience, and the success of the Company will be
highly dependent on the Company’s ability to attract and retain skilled
management personnel and other employees. Competition for such personnel is
intense. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or
retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for skilled personnel in
8
our
industry is significant. This competition may make it more difficult and
expensive to attract, hire and retain qualified managers and employees. The
Company’s inability to attract skilled management personnel and other employees
as needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business,
operating results and financial condition. The Company’s arrangement with its
current employees is at will, meaning its employees may voluntarily terminate
their employment at any time. The Company anticipates that the use of stock
options, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights, and phantom stock
awards will be valuable in attracting and retaining qualified personnel.
However, the effects of such plan cannot be certain.
Our
future success is dependent, in part, on the performance and continued service
of our officers.
We are
presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and
continued services of John Bordynuik. The loss of services of Mr.
Bordynuik could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operation.
Changes
in government regulations and laws affecting the IT industry, including
accounting principles and interpretations and the taxation of domestic and
foreign operations, could adversely affect our results of
operations.
Changing
laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public
disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new SEC regulations,
are creating uncertainty for companies such as ours. These new or changed laws,
regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations which, in many
instances, is due to their lack of specificity. As a result, the application of
these new standards and regulations in practice may evolve over time as new
guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in
continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs
necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We are
committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public
disclosure. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations
and standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in,
increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time
and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. In
particular, our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 and the related regulations regarding our required assessment of our
internal controls over financial reporting and our independent auditors’ audit
of that assessment has required the commitment of significant internal,
financial and managerial resources.
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board, SEC or other accounting rulemaking
authorities may issue new accounting rules or standards that are different than
those that we presently apply to our financial results. Such new accounting
rules or standards could require significant changes from the way we currently
report our financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles have been the subject of frequent
interpretations. As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
and the review of accounting policies by the SEC as well as by national and
international accounting standards bodies, the frequency of future accounting
policy changes may accelerate. Such future changes in financial accounting
standards may have a significant effect on our reported results of operations,
including results of transactions entered into before the effective date of the
changes.
We are
subject to income taxes in the United States. Our provision for income taxes and
our tax liability in the future could be adversely affected by numerous factors
including, but not limited to, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets
and liabilities, and changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles or
interpretations thereof, which could adversely impact our financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows in future periods.
Our
future success is dependent upon our ability to protect our intellectual
property.
The
Company may not be able to protect unauthorized use of its intellectual property
and take appropriate steps to enforce its rights. Although management
does not believe that its services infringe on the intellectual rights of
others, there is no assurance that the Company may not be the target of
infringement or other claims. Such claims, even if not true, could
result in significant legal and other associated costs and may be a distraction
to management. We plan to rely on a combination of copyright, trade
secret, trademark laws and non-disclosure and other contractual provisions to
protect our proprietary rights. Because the policing of intellectual
and intangible rights may be difficult and the ideas and other aspects
underlying our business model may not in all cases be protectable under
intellectual property laws, there can be no assurance that we can prevent
competitors from marketing the same or similar products and
services.
9
Product
liability claims against us could result in adverse publicity and potentially
significant monetary damages.
As with
other producers of cleaning agents, we are also exposed to risks associated with
product liability claims if the use of our products results in injury or
illness. We cannot predict what impact such product liability claims or
resulting negative publicity would have on our business or on our brand image.
The successful assertion of product liability claims against us could result in
potentially significant monetary damages, diversion of management resources and
require us to make significant payments and incur substantial legal expenses,
although we do carry product liability insurance for potential product liability
claims. Even if a product liability claim is not successfully
pursued to judgment by a claimant, we may still incur substantial legal expenses
defending against such a claim. Finally, serious product quality concerns could
result in governmental action against us, which, among other things, could
result in the suspension of production or distribution of our products, loss of
certain licenses, or other governmental penalties.
Control
of oil and gas reserves by state-owned oil companies may impact the demand for
our Plastic2Oil services and create additional risks in our
operations.
Much of
the world’s oil and gas reserves are controlled by state-owned oil companies.
State-owned oil companies may require their contractors to meet local content
requirements or other local standards, such as joint ventures, that could be
difficult or undesirable for the Company to meet. The failure of our planned P2O
to meet the local content requirements and other local standards may adversely
impact the Company’s operations in those countries.
In
addition, many state-owned oil companies may require integrated contracts or
turn-key contracts that could require the Company to provide services outside
its core business.
Growth
in our revenues and earnings depends on our ability to successfully assimilate
our new businesses.
We have
recently acquired several new businesses and cannot guarantee that we will be
able to successfully assimilate our new businesses in the future. Moreover,
acquisitions involve a number of risks, including:
● | Integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired businesses; |
● | Operating in new markets with which we are not familiar; |
● | Incurring unforeseen liabilities at acquired businesses; |
● | Disruption to our existing business; |
● | Failure to retain key personnel of the acquired businesses; |
● | Impairment of relationships with employees, manufacturers and customers; and |
● | Incorrectly valuing acquired entities. |
In
addition, integrating acquired businesses into our existing mix of businesses
may result in substantial costs, diversion of our management resources or other
operational or financial problems. Unforeseen expenses, difficulties and delays
frequently encountered in connection with the integration of acquired entities
and the rapid expansion of operations could inhibit our growth, result in our
failure to achieve acquisition synergies and require us to focus resources on
integration rather than other more profitable areas. Acquired entities may
subject us to unforeseen liabilities that we did not detect prior to completing
the acquisition or liabilities that turn out to be greater than those we had
expected. These liabilities may include liabilities that arise from
non-compliance with environmental laws by prior owners for which we, as a
successor owner, will be responsible.
Volatility
in refined product margins could materially affect our Plastic2Oil business and
operating results
Plastic2Oil
operating results will be dependent to a large extent upon the relationship for
what we pay for plastic feedstock and the prices at which we are able to sell
our end products. Volatility in the pricing of feedstock as well as the supply
and demand for commodities could have a significant impact on this
relationship.
10
Our
inability to obtain adequate supplies of plastic feedstock could affect our
business and future operating results in a materially adverse way.
We will
meet our plastic supply through purchases and agreements with third party
suppliers. It is possible that an adequate supply of plastic feedstock may not
be available to our processors to meet daily processing requirements.
Risks
Associated with Our Shares of Common Stock
If
we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we
may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent
fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results
accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading
price of our common stock.
Effective
internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and
prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or
prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we
would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and
reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size
and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operation and access to capital. We have not
performed an in-depth analysis to determine if in the past un-discovered
failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our
internal control that need improvement.
Our
common stock is quoted on the OTC bulletin board which may have an unfavorable
impact on our stock price and liquidity.
Our
common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC Bulletin
Board is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or
NASDAQ system. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board
may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential
stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading
price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our
ability to raise capital in the future.
There
is limited liquidity on the OTCBB.
When
fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTCBB, volatility of prices
may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate
quote information. Due to lower trading volumes in shares of our common stock,
there may be a lower likelihood of one's orders for shares of our Common Stock
being executed, and current prices may differ significantly from the price one
was quoted at the time of one's order entry.
Our
common stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near asking
prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise
desire to liquidate your shares.
Currently
our Common Stock is quoted in the OTC Bulletin Board market and the trading
volume we will develop may be limited by the fact that many major institutional
investment funds, including mutual funds, as well as individual investors follow
a policy of not investing in Bulletin Board stocks and certain major brokerage
firms restrict their brokers from recommending Bulletin Board stocks because
they are considered speculative, volatile and thinly traded. The OTC Bulletin
Board market is an inter-dealer market much less regulated than the major
exchanges and our Common Stock is subject to abuses, volatility and shorting.
Thus there is currently no broadly followed and established trading market for
our Common Stock. An established trading market may never develop or be
maintained. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility
and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders. Absence of an active
trading market reduces the liquidity of the shares traded there.
The
trading volume of our Common Stock has been and may continue to be limited and
sporadic. As a result of such trading activity, the quoted price for our Common
Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of
its fair market value. Further, if we cease to be quoted, holders would find it
more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market
value of our Common Stock and as a result, the market value of our Common Stock
likely would decline.
11
Our
common stock is subject to price volatility unrelated to our
operations.
The
market price of our Common Stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety
of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned
growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry,
trading volume in our Common Stock, changes in general conditions in the economy
and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us.
In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume
fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price
of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating
performance and could have the same effect on our Common Stock.
Our
common stock may be classified as a “penny stock” as that term is generally
defined in the securities exchange act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a
price of less than $5.00.As such our common stock would be subject to rules that
impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage
in certain transactions involving a penny stock.
We may be subject to the penny stock
rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to
provide extensive disclosure to its customers prior to executing trades in penny
stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading
activity of our Common Stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult
for our stockholders to sell their securities.
Rule
3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 establishes the definition of a
"penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a
minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less
than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not
available to us. This classification would severely and adversely affect any
market liquidity for our Common Stock.
For any
transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules
require that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in
penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written
agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the
penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account
for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial
information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a
reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for
that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in
financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny
stocks.
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market,
which, in highlight form, sets forth:
•
|
The
basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination,
and
|
•
|
That
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and commission payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Because
of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the
above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter
difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our Common Stock, which may
affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares
in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading
activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure
requirements could impede the sale of our common stock, if and when our common
stock becomes publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our common stock
may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our common stock.
Our Common Stock, in all probability, will be subject to such penny stock rules
for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it
difficult to sell their common stock.

Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June
25, 2009, JBI, Inc., f/k/a 310 Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”) entered into an
asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) to purchase and assume certain assets
of John Bordynuik, Inc. (“JBI”), a Delaware corporation. This is an
arms-length agreement between the Company and JBI by President and CEO John

7. MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that
involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 8-K,
including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow
sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”,
“believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions,
identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business, including
but not limited to, reliance on key customers and competition in its markets,
market demand, product performance, technological developments, maintenance of
relationships with key suppliers, difficulties of hiring or retaining key
personnel and any changes in current accounting rules, all of which may be
beyond the control of the Company. The Company adopted at management’s
discretion, the most conservative recognition of revenue based on the most
astringent guidelines of the SEC in terms of recognition of revenue. The
Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set
forth therein.
15
In

Plan
of Operations
Overview
Management
began executing its business plan in 2009 by acquiring three revenue generating
sources in 2009 and concentrating R & D resources on scaling P2O for a 2010
launch. Detailed summaries of each acquisition and P2O are described
below.
Through
recruiting efforts and these acquisitions, management believes that it has
quickly assembled an experienced team of professionals that will allow the
Company to grow both organically (within each subsidiary) and through
synergistic acquisitions that have a demonstrated propensity towards being
eco-friendly.
The
Company believes that synergistic conglomerates will reemerge as an effective
way to pool financial and management resources and as such, JBI is positioning
itself to pool resources so it can effectively deal with local and global issues
of sustainability. By offering “green” products and continuing
to use its proprietary technologies the Company will help create solutions to
enormous problems. From Pak-It™ products, where we save fuel by “not
shipping water”, to Plastic2Oil where we will create fuel from what is currently
a costly plastics disposal problem, the Company is well positioned for
growth.
In
addition to the management expertise that came with the acquisitions, the
Company has hired Ronald C. Baldwin, Jr. as CFO and Jacob Smith as
COO. These seasoned executives have already identified areas for
improvement and have acted to make the acquisitions more
profitable.
For
instance, on or about January 20, 2010, Pak-It reduced its workforce from 49 to
36 employees as part of a corporate restructuring of the bulk cleaning component
of the business. The Company’s Chief Operating Officer, Jacob Smith,
is overseeing the transition of the plant from primarily a bulk chemical
manufacturing company to a highly automated plant that will allow the Company to
grow revenues by becoming more efficient and producing the water soluble packets
at a rate that will support a national retail launch. The retail
launch will lead to job creation through an expansion of the bulk manufacturing
capacity as well as the set-up of a new Pak-It plant which is expected to be in
southern New Jersey.
Significant
Developments and Strategic Actions in 2009
In April
2009, John Bordynuik purchased 63% of the issued and outstanding shares of 310
Holdings on April 24, 2009. Subsequently, John Bordynuik was appointed President
and CEO of the Company.
On August
24, 2009, the Company acquired Javaco, Inc. (“Javaco”), for its know-how in
world-wide communications and its business experience in Mexico and South
America. Management intends to utilize Javaco’s expertise to launch Plastic2Oil
sites in Mexico and South America and to develop a secure communications
infrastructure between the Plastic2Oil sites and the Company. JAVACO,
Inc. currently distributes over 100 lines of equipment from fiber optic
transmitters to RF connectors. To further enhance business in the United States,
new distribution lines are frequently being added including a line of home
theater and audio video products.
On
September 30, 2009, the Company acquired Pak-It, LLC, a Florida limited
liability company. Pak-It operates two business units: 1) a bulk chemical
processing, mixing, and packaging facility, and 2) a patented delivery system
that packages condensed cleaners in small water-soluble packages. The
acquisition of Pak-It, LLC was primarily driven by the Company’s desire to
access the experience that the Pak-It management team has in chemistry,
marketing, sales, operations, finance, and particularly in real estate and
franchise related mergers and acquisitions. Management intends to utilize the
Pak-It team to help grow all of the Company’s business segments, including the
Philadelphia plant, which will perform the following:
16
·
|
Bulk
packaging facility will mix and package the catalyst used in the
Plastic2Oil process.
|
·
|
Continue
to manufacture Pak-It™ water-soluble sachets and assist in setting up
Canada operations for manufacturing and sale of Pak-It products in
Canada.
|
·
|
To
sell cleaners using Pak-It’s technology in the retail
market.
|
The
Company has also focused on restructuring the Philadelphia plant and revised the
business plan for growth into the retail market. Management is going forward
with a full retail rollout of Pak-It products. The company engaged Western
Creative, Inc. on January 12, 2010 to assist in planning and marketing the
retail launch. In anticipation of increased demand for product from the retail
launch, management is also reconfiguring the plant and updating its equipment.
The Company is also establishing Canadian manufacturing and distributing
operations in its Niagara Falls location.
Creating
New Technology – Bit by Bit
To
continue the Company’s plan of commercializing data mined from the tape recovery
sector of our business we continue our work on a retrofitted lab-model
Plastic2Oil processor. We also procured a 20 MT (metric ton) Plastic2Oil
processor and are now developing all aspects of the process from procurement, to
automated systems of feeding, processing, and collecting oil..
Using the
prototype, the Company has been successful in producing ASTM certified fuel from
the Plastic2Oil process and proprietary catalyst in quantities up to 100 liters.
The company was unable to test its process in larger quantities as the 20MT
processor is still being assembled. The 20MT processor is being meticulously
assembled and each assembly process is being photographed and logged so that the
processes and procedures for the final operating unit can modeled, independently
tested, and the put into production quickly where plastic discards are readily
available. Management believes, based upon prototype testing to date,
that each large processor will process 20 metric tons of plastic in a continuous
operation. Results will vary by location and feedstock
type.
The
Company has made very positive productive progress with its P2O
operations.
On
December 22, 2009, the Company and Rick Heddle agreed to a Joint Venture whereby
Heddle Marine Service, Inc. will retrofit ships with P2O processors. The Company
is now finalizing a JV Agreement for production of its first P2O ship with
Heddle. JBI anticipates contracting with various countries to convert their
plastic waste into oil. Also, JBI has signed a Letter of Intent for the
establishment of an Area Development Agreement (ADA) for 45 P2O sites in the
State of Florida with AS PTO, LLC, an entity controlled by Al Sousa of Largo,
Florida. Both Heddle and Sousa have strong management capabilities
and are expected to be essential to the scaling up of a nationwide P2O
launch.
JBI continues
to maintain its data recovery and migration business through the use of its tape
drives. It currently has a mobile data container that can be deployed to
migrate data onsite for customers with highly sensitive data. It acquired tape
drives, servers, and the mobile data container through the acquisition of
certain assets from John Bordynuik Inc. The Company has a large
backlog of tapes to be migrated and is seeking strategic alliances with
international companies that will allow the Company to realize tape revenues
faster, thereby ecreasing the backlog. The Company is also developing
an intern program that will allow it to recruit, train, and retain top
engineering talent.

Revenues
Consolidated
revenues decreased $409,000 from $13.811 million for the year-ended December 31,
2008 to $13.402 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The
Pak-It and tape reading units recorded increases in revenue and JavaCo recorded
a decrease in revenue.
Revenue
Sources
PakIt: We
derive revenues from the sale of bulk cleaning chemicals (DCL Solutions) and
patented cleaning solutions in water soluble sachets through our Pak-It
subsidiary. Pak-It had increased revenues primarily due to its
success in marketing Pak-It™ products to national accounts for their own
use.
JavaCo:
We derive revenues through the sales and distribution of electronic
components marketed in Mexico and Latin America. JavaCo had a
decrease in revenue due to general economic conditions and the inability to
provide extended payment terms to Latin American customers.
JBI: We
generate sales through reading high volume legacy data computer tapes for large
institutions and corporations. JBI had no revenues in 2008 and
therefore had increased sales in 2009.
P2O:
There was no revenue recorded in 2009 for P2O. We expect that the
commercial launch of Plastic2Oil will result in 2010 sales of the oil which is
expected to be produced by our units.
Gross
Profit
For the
year ended December 31, 2009, our consolidated cost of sales totaled $10.327
(77% of net sales), as compared to $11.189 (82% of net sales) in 2008,
representing a decrease of $862,511, or an improvement of 7% as a percentage of
sales.
The
improvement in costs resulted in an increase in gross profit of
$636,000.
The
largest component of our operating expenses consists of direct costs of
producing product, including material and direct labor costs. Cost of
sales also includes allocations of other direct and indirect costs associated
with production including such things as utilities, insurance and
depreciation.
Gross profit consists of our total
revenues less our cost of services. Our gross profit has been, and will be,
affected by many factors including (a) demand for our data migration solutions,
Pak-It products, JavaCo products, (b) the selling price of our products, (c) our
cost of services, (d) the introduction of new competitors into each of our
operating business unit industries, (e) our ability to launch our Plastic2Oil
business, and (f) our ability to launch our Pak-It solutions into the retail
market. Additionally, gross profit will be affected by the way in which we
manage the commercial launch of Plastic2Oil and the varying cost, if any, to
acquire plastic feedstock.
18
General and Administrative
Expenses
Selling,
General and Administrative (“S, G & A”) expenses increased by $454,000 in
2009. The increases were primarily due to increased costs of
professional services and administrative support. Included in S,G
& A are other expenses such as interest expense, travel, 401K expenses for
DCL Solutions (PakIt) employees.
General
and administrative expenses consist of selling and marketing, general and
administrative, and research and development expenses. Personnel related costs
are the most significant component of each of these expense categories. We
expect to continue to hire employees to support growth in our various operating
subsidiaries for the foreseeable future. In addition, we expect to incur
significant start up costs associated with the expansion of our Plastic2Oil
business as well as the retail launch of Pak-It and further product offerings at
JavaCo. Although we expect our overall operating expenses to increase in
absolute dollar terms for the foreseeable future as we grow our existing
business segments, we expect our overall annual operating expenses to decrease
as a percentage of total annual revenues as we use our existing employees and
our existing products.

Selling
and Marketing
Selling
and marketing expenses are included in S, G & A and consist primarily of (a)
salaries and related personnel costs, (b) commissions for sales, (c) travel,
lodging and other out-of-pocket expenses, (d) other related
overhead.
Commissions
are recorded as an expense when earned by an employee or independent contractor.
We expect increases in selling and marketing expenses in absolute dollar terms
for the foreseeable future as we increase the number of our sales professionals.
We expect that over time our selling and marketing expenses will decrease as a
percentage of total annual revenues as we utilize our current sales
personnel.
Research
and Development
Research
and development expenses are included in S, G & A and consist primarily of
(a) salaries and related personnel costs related to our engineering
organization, (b) payments to suppliers and laboratories for design and
consulting services, (c) costs related to the design and development of new
solutions and enhancement of existing technologies, (d) quality assurance and
testing, and (e) other related overhead expenses.
Stock-Based Compensation
The
company plans to adopt a formal plan which addresses share-based payment awards,
including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options,
restricted stock and stock appreciation rights.
19
Other Income
Other
income consists primarily of royalty payments for license fees and interest
income earned on cash balances and other non-operating
income. Royalty and interest income increased from $54,537 in 2008 to
$91,244 in 2009. We historically have invested our cash in money
market funds only.
Interest Expense
Interest
expense in 2009 consisted of interest on bank and private debt. As of
December 31, 2009 the Company had paid all such interest bearing loans to
zero. Interest expense was $87,801 in 2009 as compared to $127,940 in
2008.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of
December 31, 2009 we have $4,059,123 cash on hand.
Historically,
we have funded our operations through financing activities consisting primarily
of private placements of debt and equity securities with existing shareholders
and outside investors. Our principal use of funds has been for capital
expenditures and general corporate expenses.
During
the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, there was $8,816,714 received from
the sale of company securities. This amount included cash and the conversion of
debt (related to the purchase of PakIt, LLC). In 2009 cash proceeds
were utilized to pay bank and other interest bearing debts, pay deposits on new
equipment, and pay for operating expenses.
We expect
to rely upon funds raised from private placements, as well as future equity and
debt offerings to implement our growth plan and meet our liquidity needs going
forward. Management believes that our Company’s cash will be
sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve month
period at which point further funding will be necessary. However, we cannot make
assurances that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at
all.

ORGANIZATION
Industry – JBI, Inc,
(formerly known as 310 Holdings, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the
state of Nevada on April 20, 2006. Our efforts have focused primarily on the
development and implementation of our business plan. Management is transitioning
our company to become a global technology leader whose purpose is to mine data
from John Bordynuik’s large information archive, find under-productive entities
to inject our superior proprietary technologies into, and benefit from increased
productivity and profitability, beginning with Plastic2Oil.
Management
immediately started to execute the business plan by acquiring two
revenue-generating sources during last year. Detailed summaries of each
acquisition are described below.
JAVACO,
INC. - 100% owned
subsidiary
On August
24, 2009, the Company acquired JAVACO, Inc. (“Javaco”), for its know-how in
world-wide communications and its business experience in Mexico and South
America. Management intends to utilize Javaco’s expertise to launch Plastic2Oil
sites in Mexico and South America and to develop a secure communications
infrastructure between the Plastic2Oil sites and the Company. JAVACO,
Inc. currently distributes over 100 lines of equipment from fiber optic
transmitters to RF connectors. To further enhance business in the United States,
new distribution lines are frequently being added including a line of home
theater and audio video products.
PAK-IT,
LLC. – 100% owned subsidiary
On
September 30, 2009, the Company acquired Pak-It, LLC, a Florida limited
liability company. Pak-It operates two business units: 1) a bulk chemical
processing, mixing, and packaging facility, and 2) a patented delivery system
that packages condensed cleaners in small water-soluble packages. The
acquisition of Pak-It, LLC was primarily driven by the Company’s desire to
access the experience that the Pak-It management team has in chemistry,
marketing, sales, operations, finance, and particularly in real estate and
franchise related mergers and acquisitions. Management intends to utilize the
Pak-It team to help grow all of the Company’s business segments, including the
Philadelphia plant, which will perform the following:
·
|
Bulk
packaging facility will mix and package the catalyst used in the
Plastic2Oil process.
|
·
|
Continue
to manufacture Pak-It water-soluble sachets and assist in setting up
Canada operations for manufacturing and sale of Pak-It products in
Canada.
|
·
|
To
sell cleaners using Pak-It’s technology in the retail
space.

The
Company’s fiscal year end is December 31, a calendar year end.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying interim financial statements for the twelve months ended December
31, , 2009, and 2008 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of
operations realized during an interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for a full year.
27
Principles of
Consolidation.
The
Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements include assets,
liabilities and operating results of wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Estimates and
adjustment
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 at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company applies FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue
recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or
realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The
Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the
following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
(ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the
customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv)
collectability is reasonably assured.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months
or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The
Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about
fair value of its financial instruments of the FASB Accounting Standards to
measure the fair value of its financial instruments. FASB Accounting Standards
Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase
consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related
disclosures, FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value
hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy
gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by FASB
Accounting Standards Codification are described below:
Level
1
|
Quoted
market prices available in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities as of the reporting date.
|
|
Level
2
|
Pricing
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1,
which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting
date.
|
|
Level
3
|
Pricing
inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market
data.
|
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash
and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short
maturity of these instruments.
The
Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any
fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at
December 31, 2009 or 2008, nor gains or losses are reported in the statement of
operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses
relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date for
the interim period ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Income
Taxes
28
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to measure and record deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 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.
Earnings Per
Share
Net loss
per common share is computed pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards
Codification. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially
outstanding shares of common stock during each period. There were no
potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of December 31 , 2009 or
2008.
Concentrations of Credit
Risk
Financial
instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of operating demand deposit accounts. The Company’s
policy is to place its operating demand deposit accounts with high credit
quality financial institutions that are insured by the FDIC.
Recently Re-codified
Accounting Standards
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) took Accounting Standard
Pronouncements and EITFs and codified them into the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification. The Company also uses as reference SEC rules,
regulations, interpretive releases, and SEC staff guidance.
In June
2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted final rules under
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”), as amended by SEC
Release No. 33-9072 on October 13, 2009. Commencing with its annual
report for the year ending December 31, 2010, the Company will be required to
include a report of management on its internal control over financial reporting.
The internal control report must include a statement
-
|
of
management’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over its financial
reporting;
|
-
|
of
management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over
financial reporting as of year-end;
and
|
-
|
of
the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
|
Furthermore,
it is required to file the auditor’s attestation report separately on the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that
the Company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control
over financial reporting.
Effective
July 1, 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification”
(the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S.
GAAP. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is
intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all
the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one
place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded
and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be
considered non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and
annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does
not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
29
In August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-04 “Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments - Amendment to Section 480-10-S99” which represents an update to section 480-10-S99, distinguishing liabilities from equity, per EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-05 “Fair Value
Measurement and Disclosures Topic 820 – Measuring Liabilities at Fair
Value”, which provides amendments to subtopic 820-10, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of
liabilities. This Update provides clarification that in circumstances
in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not
available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or
more of the following techniques: 1. A valuation technique that uses: a. The
quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, b. Quoted
prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets. 2.
Another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of topic 820;
two examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or
a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the
measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical
liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability. The amendments
in this Update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability,
a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to
other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the
transfer of the liability. The amendments in this Update also clarify that both
a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability when traded as an
asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset
are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The Company does
not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-08 “Earnings Per Share –
Amendments to Section 260-10-S99”,which represents technical corrections
to topic 260-10-S99, Earnings per share, based on EITF Topic D-53, Computation of Earnings Per Share
for a Period that includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of
a Class of Preferred Stock and EITF Topic D-42, The Effect of the Calculation of
Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred
Stock. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-09 “Accounting for
Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures and Accounting for Equity-Based
Payments to Non-Employees”. This Update represents a
correction to Section 323-10-S99-4, Accounting by an Investor for
Stock-Based Compensation Granted to Employees of an Equity Method
Investee. Additionally, it adds observer comment Accounting Recognition for Certain
Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees
to the Codification. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material
impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-12 “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 – Investment in Certain Entities That
Calculate Net Assets Value Per Share (or Its Equivalent)”, which provides
amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Overall,
for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate
net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this Update
permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value
of an investment that is within the scope of the amendments in this Update on
the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent)
if the net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a
manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the
reporting entity’s measurement date, including measurement of all or
substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance
with Topic 820. The amendments in this Update also require disclosures by major
category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of
the amendments in this Update, such as the nature of any restrictions on the
investor’s ability to redeem its investments a the measurement date, any
unfunded commitments (for example, a contractual commitment by the investor to
invest a specified amount of additional capital at a future date to fund
investments that will be made by the investee), and the investment strategies of
the investees. The major category of investment is required to be determined on
the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner consistent with
the guidance for major security types in U.S. GAAP on investments in debt and
equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-1B. The disclosures are required for
all investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update regardless of
whether the fair value of the investment is measured using the practical
expedient. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on
its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3 -
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Long-lived
assets, including property and equipment and certain intangible assets, to be
held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not
be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if expected future
cash flows of the related assets are less than their carrying
values. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value
of the asset. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value
less cost to sell.
Property
and Equipment are first recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various
classes of assets as follows:
Computer equipment | 3 years |
Vehicles | 5 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 7 years |
Plant and plant machinery | 15 years |
Office and industrial buildings | 25 years |

9. CHANGES
IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
(a) On August 6, 2009, Board
of Directors of the Registrant dismissed Moore & Associates Chartered, its
independent registered public account firm. On the same date, August 6, 2009,
the accounting firm of Seale and Beers, CPAs was engaged as the Registrant's new
independent registered public account firm. The Board of Directors of the
Registrant and the Registrant's Audit Committee approved of the dismissal of
Moore & Associates Chartered and the engagement of Seale and Beers, CPAs as
its independent auditor. None of the reports of Moore & Associates Chartered
on the Company's financial statements for either of the past two years or
subsequent interim period contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion,
or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles, except that the Registrant's audited financial statements contained
in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 a going concern
qualification in the registrant's audited financial statements.
During
the registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods
thereto, there were no disagreements with Moore and Associates, Chartered
whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not
resolved to Moore and Associates, Chartered's satisfaction, would have caused it
to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with
its report on the registrant's financial statements nor were there any up to and
including the time of dismissal on August 6, 2009.
Due to
the circumstances set forth above, the Company could not obtain an amended
letter from Moore and Associates for this amended Form 8-k.
b) On
August 6, 2009, the registrant engaged Seale and Beers, CPAs as its independent
accountant. During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim periods
preceding the engagement, the registrant has not consulted Seale and Beers, CPAs
regarding any of the matters set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K.
As
disclosed in our Form 8-K filed on August 17, 2009 we dismissed Seale and Beers,
CPA as our independent accountant and retained the independent registered public
accounting firm, Gately & Associates, LLC as of August 14,
2009.

of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control
systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of
internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial
reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the
financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into
the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of the
year ended December 31, 2009 management assessed the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective
internal control over financial reporting established in Internal
Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting
such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that,
during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures
were effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more
fully described below.
It should
be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these
and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation's
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the
Corporation's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of
the SEC that permit the Corporation to provide only the management's report in
this annual report.

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
General
As of
March 31, 2010, our authorized capitalization was 155,000,000 shares of capital
stock, consisting of 150,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per
share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per
share.
Common
Stock
We are
authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per
share. As of the date hereof, 50,102,200 common shares are issued and
outstanding.
Holders
of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters
submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have
cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the
shares of common stock voting for the election of directors cannot necessarily
elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority
of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at
any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our
outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate
changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of
Incorporation.
Holders
of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of
directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the
event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles
its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of
liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having
preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no
pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions
applicable to our common stock.
Preferred
Stock
We are
authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per
share. As of the date hereof, 1,000,000 Series A Super Voting
Preferred Shares are issued and outstanding. Holders of the Series A Super
Voting Preferred Shares have one hundred (100) times the number of votes that
holders of common stock are entitled to on all matters submitted to shareholders
for their action or consideration.
Subject
to the approval of the then current shareholders, the Board of Directors is
empowered to designate and issue from time to time one or more classes or series
of Preferred Stock and to fix and determine the relative rights, preferences,
designations, qualifications, privileges, options, conversion rights,
limitations and other special or relative rights of each such class or series so
authorized. If approved by the shareholders, such action could adversely affect
the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Company’s capital shares
or could have the effect of discouraging or making difficult any attempt by a
person or group to obtain control of the Company.
Dividend Policy
It is
unlikely that we will declare or pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We intend to retain earnings, if any, to expand our operations.

The
Company’s Audit Committee has policies and procedures that require the
pre-approval by the Audit Committee of all fees paid to, and all services
performed by, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. At
the beginning of each year, the Audit Committee approves the proposed services,
including the nature, type and scope of services contemplated and the related
fees, to be rendered by these firms during the year. In addition, Audit
Committee pre-approval is also required for those engagements that may arise
during the course of the year that are outside the scope of the initial services
and fees initially pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
