NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the JBI, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Javaco, Inc., Pak-It, LLC, JBI (Canada), Inc., JBI RE #1, Inc., JBI RE One, Inc., Plastic2Oil Land, Inc. and Plastic2Oil Marine, Inc. (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. Interim statements are subject to possible adjustment in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s accounts for the year ended December 31, 2010. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2010 and the results of its operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Results for the three and six months ended are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 as included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A as filed with the commission on July 9, 2010.
Liquidity
While the Company has experienced a cumulative operating loss, a significant portion of the expenses incurred this year have related to non-cash items such as the issuance of stock compensation totaling over $3.1 million. Additionally, the Company has made significant one-time purchases of property and equipment relating to the development of its Plastic2Oil technology and its fuel blending site. Total capital purchases made in 2010 exceed $1.4 million. The Company expects that its current cash balance will sustain operations until an air permit for its first production Plastic2Oil processor is obtained resulting in a new revenue stream from the sale of the output from the process. While the Company does not currently have sufficient cash for the next 12 months, in the event that cash is needed before a permit is obtained, the Company has a good current ratio and potential access to short and/ or long-term borrowings. Additionally, the Company is taking steps to minimize expenses and reduce operating costs.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company has disclosed its significant accounting policies in “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The following significant accounting policies provide an update to those included under the same captions in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. 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. The most significant estimates relate to goodwill, the value of assets and liabilities acquired, valuation of inventory, and the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant.
8
Impairments
If the carrying value of an asset, including goodwill and identifiable intangible assets exceeds the sum of estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Management assesses assets for recoverability at least annually, or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Goodwill
Goodwill resulted primarily from business acquisitions. In accordance with accounting rules, goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an annual impairment test, which the Company performs in the 4th quarter. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company does not believe that the current quarter operating loss has a negative impact on the current goodwill valuation.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represents unsecured obligations due from customers under terms requesting payments upon receipt of invoice up to ninety days, depending on the customer. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and are stated at the amounts billed to the customer net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Customer balances with invoices over 90 days old are considered delinquent. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer remittance, or if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoice.
The allowance for uncollectible accounts reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that may not be collected based on an analysis of the age of receivables and the credit standing of individual customers. Accounts receivable determined to be uncollectible are recognized using the allowance method. The allowance for uncollectible accounts at June 30, 2010 was $187,720 and $59,000 at December 31, 2009.
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. When products are provided, revenue is recognized when the product ships to the customer from either the Company or a supplier. For services, revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment from the customer. As of the end of the second quarter, there were no significant revenues from P2O.
9
Earnings Per Share
The financial statements include basic and diluted per share information. 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 June 30, 2010.
Research and Development
All research, development, and engineering costs are expensed when incurred. During the second quarter, the Company transitioned from the research and development phase of P2O to the commercialization of the processor. Research and development expenses approximated $45,000 in the first quarter and $50,000 in the second quarter of 2010.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (Accounting Standards Update 2010-06)
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” to require additional disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. The standard also clarifies existing disclosures about the level of disaggregation, valuation techniques and inputs to fair value measurements. As this standard only affects disclosures related to fair value, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, results of operations, or cash flows.
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Wall Street Reform Act)
On July 21, 2010, the Wall Street Reform Act was signed into law. Among other provisions, the Act permanently exempts small public companies with less than $75 million in market capitalization (non-accelerated filers) from the requirement to obtain an external audit on the effectiveness of internal financial reporting controls provided in Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) in order to reduce the burden on small public companies. Section 404(b) requires a registrant to provide an attestation report on management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting by the registrant’s external auditor. Despite this exemption, the Company must still comply with Section 404(a) of SOX which requires management to assess the performance of internal controls. The aggregate market value of voting stock held by non-affiliates of the Company on June 30, 2010 was approximately $56 million, thereby qualifying the Company for the exemption. The market capitalization requirement will be assessed again on June 30, 2011.
NOTE 3 – EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
Through January 14, 2010, the Company consummated a confidential private placement with certain accredited investors for the issuance and sale of 8,439,893 shares of the common stock. The offering was at $0.80 and the gross proceeds received by the Company were $6,751,914. The total shares issued pursuant to the offering was 8,439,893, of which 1,259,910 shares were issued in 2010. As a result of the private placement the Company paid all debt (except normal recurring accounts payable and accruals) and added in excess of $3.1 million in available cash.
10
In May, 2010, the Company consummated a confidential private placement with certain accredited investors for the issuance and sale of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share at per share price of $4.00. The net proceeds received by the Company in the amount of $1,915,116 for the sale of 478,779 shares.
The majority shareholder made a capital contribution of approximately $2,000 for foreign currency translation costs.
Year-to-date, the Company has issued 623,974 shares of stock as compensation to various parties at an expense of $3,013,020. Of these, 4,700 were issued to employees of Pak-It, 100 shares per employee, on January 7, 2010. On February 25, 2010, the Company issued a total of 400,000 shares to 5 key employees and consultants as bonuses and for past services. During the second quarter, 175,800 shares were issued for services rendered, 10,000 shares were issued to each of the Company’s three independent members of the Board of Directors, and the remaining 13,474 were issued to 3 employees. The shares issued were generally valued at the closing share price on the respective issue dates and were reported as operating expenses in the statement of operations. Shares issued to settle existing monetary commitments were valued at the existing commitment amount.
NOTE 4 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
During 2009, the Company acquired Javaco and Pak-It, and had completed internal valuations to support the allocation of the purchase price and the enterprise value of the entities. The Company expects to have third party valuations done on the subsidiaries of Javaco and Pak-It during 2010 but management does not expect the valuations to be materially different from those previously performed by management. Any difference will be adjusted when the valuations are completed and recorded as a current period charge as needed.
NOTE 5 – SEGMENT REPORTING
During the quarter, the Company had three principal operating segments, JBI, Pak-It, and Javaco.
These operating segments were determined based on the nature of the products and services offered. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief executive officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker, and directs the allocation of resources to operating segments based on the profitability and cash flows of each respective segment.
The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is net income. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in “Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Intersegment sales are accounted for at fair value as if sales were to third parties. The following tables show the operations of the Company’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010:

The Company has centralized several corporate functions at the Pak-It facility including human resources and purchasing. As such, many US-based transactions are accounted for through Pak-It resulting in an increase in expenses associated with Pak-It that would not otherwise be incurred by the operating unit. For the second quarter, the corporate expenses incurred by Pak-It approximated $400k.
Information as to the Company’s quarterly sales in different geographical areas is as follows:

The Company has concluded that 2009 segment information was not significant to these financial statements.
Sales are attributable to geographic areas based on location of customer. Neither the Company nor any of its segments depends on any single customer, small group of customers, or government for more than 10% of its sales.
Also, because a substantial portion of the Company’s sales are derived from the sales of product manufactured in the United States, long-lived assets located outside the United States are less than 10%.

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The President and CEO returned 21 million shares of Common stock in March 2010.
NOTE 7 – LONG-TERM DEBT
Long term debt consists of the following at June 30, 2010:
Mortgage note payable to bank in monthly installments of $1,610 (Canadian dollars), 7.0% interest only, due on July 15, 2015, secured by office building and land $263,358 |
The debt matures on July 15, 2015.
NOTE 8 – FOREIGN CURRENCY
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are measured using the foreign subsidiary’s local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses of such subsidiary has been translated into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. Monetary assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance-sheet date and nonmonetary assets and liabilities have been translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, unless there is a sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign investments. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulted in gains of $11,973 and $0 in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Foreign currency transaction losses included in operations totaled $4,511 in 2010 and $0 in 2009.
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
There are no known judgments against the Company, nor are there any known actions or suits filed or threatened against it or its officers and directors, in their capacities as such. We are not aware of any claims against the Company or any reputed claims against it at this time, except for claims of two former employees of the Pak-It subsidiary. These former employees have alleged that certain monies are due them pursuant to their employment agreements and the Company has retained legal counsel to handle the claims. The amounts of the claims are immaterial to the Company.
The Company signed an Area Development Agreement in February 2010 with AS PTO, LLC. This agreement is contingent upon the issuance of an air permit for the Company’s P2O processor in New York. Failure to obtain the air permit makes the agreement null and void.
The Company has employment agreements with its officers, key employees and consultants that provide for minimum compensation, the issuance of stock options and severance payments due upon termination.
NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the balance sheet date and has identified the following:
In July 2010, the Company closed the Cambridge, Massachusetts office space that formerly served as the main corporate address. The decision was made to not renew the lease which expires at the end of August in order to minimize expenditures. The new corporate address is 1783 Allanport Road, Thorold, Ontario, Canada L0S 1K0.
On July 21, 2010, the Company received notice that its application for its stock to be quoted on the OTCQX marketplace had been accepted. The Company subsequently was notified by the OTCQX that such quotation could not commence until removal of the “E” from its ticker symbol occurred. On August 5, 2010 FINRA hearing officer issued a decision stating that the Company’s securities were ineligible for continued quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board due to the late filing of its first quarter Form 10-Q. The “E” was removed from the Company’s ticker symbol on August 6, 2010. The Company believes that quotation of its stock on the OTCQX will commence in the near future.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
JBI, Inc. (“JBI” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated on April 20, 2006 in the State of Nevada as 310 Holdings Inc. (“310”). 310 had no significant activity from inception through March 2009. In April 2009, John Bordynuik purchased 63% of the issued and outstanding shares of 310, and was subsequently appointed President and CEO of the Company.
During 2009, JBI acquired three revenue sources, and began researching opportunities for continued expansion and development.
During June, 2009, the Company purchased certain assets of John Bordynuik, Inc. (“Data”), a Delaware corporation. The assets acquired from Data included custom tape drives, computer hardware, servers, and a mobile data recovery container to read and transfer data from computer tapes.
During August 2009, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of Javaco, Inc. (“Javaco”). Javaco distributes over 100 lines of equipment including fiber optic transmitters and radio frequency connectors used in the telecommunications industry.
During September, 2009, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interests of Pak-It, LLC (“Pak-It”). Pak-It manufactures cleaning chemicals, and owns a patent that allows for delivery of condensed cleaning chemicals in water soluble film, most often currently used in industrial cleaning operations. All U.S. Home Depots are cleaned using Pak-It products.
In the first half of 2009, the Company began developing its Plastic2Oil technology using a laboratory model. Results of the desk-top unit were used to build a 1-ton processor to test the scalability of the process. Output from the test unit was ASTM certified. The Company procured and began installing a 20 metric-ton (“20T”) processor in late 2009 at its facility in Niagara Falls, New York. The Company engaged IsleChem, a state certified laboratory, in December 2009 to provide chemical, analytical and process engineering. Together with IsleChem, the Company has assembled and tested its 20T processor. Extensive data has been gathered and modifications have been made to the process to reach a steady state configuration.
The Company currently owns five P2O processing machines including the original desk-top unit, a 1-ton unit which will continue to be used for research and development purposes as needed, a 20T processor located at the Company’s Niagara Falls location, as well as component parts that have been procured to assemble two additional production size processors. The Company believes that these machines are capable of converting waste plastic to oil through a process using a chemical catalyst. The currently operating machine is a 20 metric-ton processor intended for commercial use. The Company intends to assemble more of these machines, which it will own and manage itself, or license to commercial operators in the United States, Canada and elsewhere. Through a joint venture with a third party, the Company plans to install machines intended for international use on ships that will travel overseas. The machines have undergone extensive testing to determine whether, among other things, they satisfy air quality standards enforced by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”). To date, test results indicate that the machines comply with these standards. The Company is operating its 20T processor to gather data for a DEC air permit to allow full commercial production.
14
During 2010 the Company has formed a number of new companies and entered into agreements with third parties. They are:
·
|
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 in December, 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. These agreements are pending full commercial production of our first 20T P2O processor.
|
·
|
During February, 2010, the Company formed two Nevada corporations as wholly owned subsidiaries: Plastic2Oil Land, Inc., and Plastic2Oil Marine, Inc. to operate Plastic2Oil (“P2O”) operations on land and sea, respectively. The Company hopes to begin commercial operations of converting waste plastic to oil in the third quarter of 2010.
|
·
|
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 2010, Plastic 2 Oil of Clearwater 1, LLC (a Delaware LLC) was formed as a joint venture and a licensing agreement was executed with members Plastic2Oil Land, Inc., AS PTO, LLC and ES Resources, LLC. During February, 2010, the Company formed a wholly owned New York corporation, JBI RE #1, Inc. to secure an industrial building in Niagara Falls, NY. This building houses the Company’s 20T processor which is intended to be the first commercial operation of the P2O entities.
|
·
|
During February, 2010, the Company formed a wholly-owned Ontario corporation, JBI (Canada), Inc., to produce, market and sell the Pak-It™ products in Canada.
|
·
|
During February, 2010, the Company formed a wholly owned Ontario corporation, JBI RE One, Inc., to purchase an industrial building in Thorold, Ontario.
|
·
|
In May, 2010 the Company formed a wholly-owned New York limited liability company, Plastic2Oil of NY #1, LLC, to operate the P2O operations and R&D functions at the Niagara Falls, NY facility.
|
·
|
On June 21, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement with Mark Peikin to provide Investor Relations services in exchange for shares of the Company’s restricted stock.
|
On May 19, 2010, the Company executed an Employment Agreement with CEO John Bordynuik which takes effect upon issuance of an air permit for the Company’s P2O processor. The agreement provides for minimum annual compensation as well as the issuance of stock options contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones, none of which have been met as of August 13, 2010.
Products and Competition
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.
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.
15
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™ uses patented technology to deliver liquid cleaner in a water soluble sachet. The products are fully biodegradable and much easier to ship than bulky liquid products. The user simply adds water to the container without measuring or cutting the Pak-It™. Large retailers (like Home Depot, Game Stop and Barnes and Noble) and many national building service contractors already using the product have documented significant cost savings from shipping, training, inventory controls 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 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 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 Company’s P2O operations are subject to the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on July 9, 2010.
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 an anticipated launch in 2010. Detailed summaries of each acquisition and P2O are described in detail 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 both private and public entities will see the environmental benefit, positive cost analysis, and potential savings from unnecessary disposal of waste plastic using Plastic2Oil, which will provide incentives for expansion of sites. By offering “green” products and continuing to use its proprietary technologies the Company hopes to 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 believes it is well positioned for growth.
Significant Developments and Strategic Actions
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 hopes 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 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.
16
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. Since acquiring Pak-It, the Company has spent over $500k to upgrade the manufacturing facility and equipment to automate the production process and increase capacity. In 2010, Pak-It has hired four new salespeople to manage the existing customer accounts as well as expand national accounts and distribution channels.
On July 30, 2010 Pak-It launched a new retail product line called Drop ShotTM. The advertising campaign was managed by Western Creative and includes 60-second and 120-second commercials as well as an online store, www.buydropshot.com. The product launch began with a special TV offer available for phone or online orders only. The DropShot Cleaning kit includes the following products: the DropShot Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner, All-Purpose Citrus Cleaner, Multi-Surface Heavy-Duty Grease Cutter, and the Autumn Fresh Odor Eliminator. When buying the special introductory offer, customers will receive two refills for each cleaner - a total of 12 cleaners for $19.95.
The Company is currently focused on making its Plastic2Oil technology commercially available. To assist in the process development, IsleChem was engaged by the Company on December 9, 2009 to verify the Company’s Plastic2Oil process. During 40 runs of tests, IsleChem was able to isolate the conditions that allowed the process to run optimally and provide engineering support to gather data to apply for a New York state DEC air permit. IsleChem verified our Plastic2Oil process is scalable and repeatable.
In 2010, the Company assembled its 20T Plastic2Oil processor at its P2O factory in Niagara Falls, NY. The Company purchased a shredder and granulator to preprocess bulk plastic. A complete automation system with 63 sensors was installed on the Plastic2Oil processor for control, data logging, and management. The processor was run to gather operational steady state data for a stack test. Oxygen sensors supplied by a major US sensor manufacturer failed when exposed to the process over time and delayed our permit application process. A number of oxygen sensors were tested until a suitable replacement was found. Sensors on the processor are now functioning properly.
A minor by-product of the process is an off-gas much like natural gas. The process consumes much less off-gas to operate than is generated when operating at maximum capacity. Further testing at high processing rates proved that all the off-gas could not be burned (temporarily for a stack test) in the process furnace. Flaring the excess off-gas is common in the oil and gas industry but is not environmentally friendly, would waste the fuel value, and would require a separate permit. To avoid flaring the excess gas, the Company purchased a gas compression system to buffer and regulate the off-gas to 1) resell or 2) to cold start the process. The gas compression system and mobile storage tanks were installed on the Company’s 20T Plastic2Oil processor in June 2010.
In July and August 2010, we have been able to run our processor in steady-state. We require a NY DEC simple air permit to enable us to run our Plastic2Oil process in full commercial production. To acquire an air permit we must have a stack test that is conducted by a third party (in our case CRA) and supervised by the NY DEC.
In July 2010, the Company scheduled a tentative date in August for an air permit test for its first production P2O processor. The configuration of the processor is in working condition and has allowed the stack test to be scheduled, contingent upon the availability of testing and regulatory attendees. The Company intends to operate the processor in full commercial capacity upon receipt of the air permit.
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company worked to upgrade its 1 million litre (250,000 gallons) fuel blending site to current standards. Equipment was fully tested and parts were replaced as required. The site was also completely repainted. The fuel testing lab at our blending site was equipped with analyzers that will allow the company to test both diesel and gasoline for commercial and retail sale. Several employees attended an independent training program to become certified operators.
17
The bulk fuel blending site enables the Company to
1.
|
Store fuel from our P2O processors.
|
2.
|
Blend additives (if required) to bring our fuel to a standard that permits the wholesale/commercial/retail sale of our fuel.
|
3.
|
In-house testing of blended fuel without the cost and delays of using external laboratories.
|
4.
|
Distribute our fuel to commercial and retail customers.
|
5.
|
Load four tanker trucks simultaneously through our bottom-loading rack.
|
6.
|
Unload tanker trucks through a separate unloading rack.
|
7.
|
Inject butane or ethanol consistent with industry practices.
|
8.
|
Flexibility to blend fuels including: gasoline, diesel, kerosene, furnace oil, and specialty fuels.
|
By acquiring the bulk fuel blending site, JBI is not dependent on 3rd party fuel refining, processing, testing, sales, and distribution. The site will service local JBI processors and enables the Company to maximize the sale price of the output by selling further down the value chain. The output from the process can still be sold to refineries at market rates.
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 transfer 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 partnerships with international companies that will allow the Company to realize tape revenues faster, thereby decreasing the backlog. The data recovery business was not a priority in the first half of 2010 because the Company’s focus was directed toward developing Plastic2Oil, but revenues are anticipated to increase in the third quarter.
Results of Operations
Quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009
For the quarter year ended June 30, 2010, we generated $3,791,743 in revenues, and incurred a net loss of $2,071,340. We had no significant activity during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Year-to-date through June 30, 2010, the Company’s revenues total $7,365,173 with a net loss totaling $5,367,949.
Revenue Sources
We derive revenues from the sale of bulk cleaning chemicals and patented cleaning solutions in water soluble sachets through our Pak-It subsidiary, which comprised $1,721,356 of total revenues during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Additionally, we derive revenues through Javaco through the sales and distribution of electronic components marketed in Mexico and Latin America, which comprised $2,059,522 of total revenues during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Finally, we generate sales through reading high volume legacy data computer tapes for large institutions and corporations. However, this unit has not produced significant revenues through the first half of 2010 due to the allocation of resources to our Plastic2Oil technology development. We do maintain contracts to perform these services and receive revenues on an irregular basis.
We expect that the commercial launch of Plastic2Oil will result in sales of the product produced by our commercial processor units. These products will include diesel fuel, gasoline, propane and butane.
Operating Expenses
The Company’s operating expenses for 2010 have exceeded gross margin by $5,367,949, resulting in a net loss. Many of the expenses incurred in 2010 have been non-cash and/or non-recurring.
The Company’s current run rate on recurring expenses is approximately $1,000,000 per quarter. This includes cost of salaries and selling, general and administrative expenses.
18
Year-to-date, stock compensation has been issued and expensed totaling $3,013,020, with $643,120 occurring in the second quarter. This non-cash expense will likely continue in future quarters but the amount will vary based on number of shares issued and the stock price on the date of issuance.
The Company has incurred many non-recurring expenses in preparation for the commercialization of its Plastic2Oil technology and the operation of its fuel blending site.
Approximately $24,000 was spent on one-time services for the blending site, including environmental, tank, pipeline and gasket repairs, corrosion system upgrades as well as general repairs and upgrades such as having the facility painted.
Relating to Plastic2Oil, the Company has invested around $28,000 in security equipment, $14,000 in fencing around the property, $2,000 for a guard building, $4,000 for engineering support relating to the off-gas and sensors, $25,000 for chemical engineering and $10,000 for general engineering relating to the processor.
Additional expenditures include approximately $23,000 toward new software to centralize accounting and reporting for all of the Company’s operating units. The Company paid approximately $65,000 to host the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in April in Niagara Falls.
The Company incurred auditing and accounting fees of approximately $178,000 and legal fees of $132,000 during the second quarter.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company periodically issues shares of common stock for services rendered or for financing costs. Such shares are valued based on the market price on the transaction date.
The Company plans to adopt a formal plan which addresses all forms of share-based payment awards, including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. No such plan had been adopted as of August 13, 2010.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2010, we had $1,945,594 cash on hand. The Company is developing a cash plan to help manage future expenditures.
During the quarter the Company purchased property and equipment of $819,360 principally relating to development of the P2O processor and to upgrade the fuel blending site, bringing the total investment in property and equipment to $1,475,478 year-to-date. Some specific investments include approximately $130,000 for the fuel blending site and $25,000 for equipment relating to the site as well as approximately $140,000 for parts and equipment relating to P2O, including the off-gas compression system, a shredder and a granulator. During the quarter the Company paid approximately $100,000 toward the purchase of a new corporate office building located in Thorold, Ontario. The purchase price of the building was $369,769 at an interest rate of 7%. The vendor took back the mortgage on the building, which is denominated in Canadian dollars and will fluctuate based on the exchange rate in effect. The Company expects to continue to make significant investments in property and equipment in the future.
While the Company has experienced a cumulative operating loss, a significant portion of the expenses incurred this year have related to non-cash items such as the issuance of stock compensation totaling $3,013,020. The Company expects that its current cash balance will sustain operations until an air permit for its first production Plastic2Oil processor is obtained, resulting in a new revenue stream from the sale of the output from the process. While the Company does not currently have sufficient cash for the next 12 months, in the event that cash is needed before a permit is obtained, the Company has a good current ratio and access to short and long-term borrowings. Additionally, the Company is taking steps to minimize expenses and reduce operating costs.
19
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.
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 assure you that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all.

For information concerning these factors and related matters, see Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in this Report, and the following sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009: (a) “Risk Factors” in Part I, and (b) “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II. However, other factors besides those referenced could adversely affect the Company’s results, and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Any forward-looking statements made by the Company herein speak as of the date of this Report. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions
The Company believes the following discussion addresses its most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Accounting policies, in addition to the critical accounting policies referenced below, are presented in Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, “Summary of Accounting Policies.”
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. 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. The most significant estimates relate to Goodwill, the value of assets and liabilities acquired, valuation of inventory, and the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant.
20
Inventories
Inventories, which consist primarily of electrical components and chemicals, are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of determining cost.
Property and Equipment
Property and Equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets as follows:
Leasehold improvements | lesser of useful life or term of the lease | |
Machinery and office equipment | 5-7 years | |
Vehicles | 5 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 7 years | |
Office and industrial buildings | 25 years |
Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the statement of operations in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Impairments
If the carrying value of an asset, including goodwill and identifiable intangible assets exceeds the sum of estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Management assesses assets for recoverability at least annually, or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable
Goodwill
Goodwill resulted primarily from business acquisitions. In accordance with accounting rules, goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an annual impairment test, which the Company performs in the 4th quarter. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year, and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the year resulted in no impairment losses.
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. When products are provided, revenue is recognized when the product ships to the customer from either the Company or a supplier. For services, revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment from the customer. As of the end of the second quarter, there were no significant revenues from P2O.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Because of inherent limitations, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of such disclosure controls and procedures are met and no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Management’s Discussion of Material Weakness
Management has identified the following groups of control deficiencies, each of which, in the aggregate, represents a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010:
o
|
Material journal entries identified and recorded as a result of audit procedures
|
|
o
o
|
Restatement of previously issued financial statements
Overall ineffective oversight of the financial reporting process including:
· Omitted disclosures for related party transactions, loss contingencies and accounting policies.
· Controls over accounting for acquisitions.
· Timing and proper recording of equity transactions.
· Documentation of material transactions related to acquisitions.
|
Management of the Company takes very seriously the strength and reliability of the internal control environment for the Company. During 2010, the Company has implemented new internal policies and intends to undertake additional steps necessary to improve the control environment that include:
22
o
|
The Company has implemented an internal disclosure policy to govern the disclosure of material, non-public information in a manner designed to provide full and fair disclosure of information about the Company. This disclosure policy is intended to ensure that management and employees of the Company comply with applicable laws including the U.S, Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Fair Disclosure Rules (Regulation FD) governing disclosure of material, non-public information to the public.

|
o
o
o
|
Strengthening the effectiveness of corporate governance by hiring a new CFO and establishing an audit committee of the Board.
Engaging a non-independent PCAOB registered accounting firm to provide accounting advice to Management.
Assigning additional members of the Management team to assist in preparing and reviewing the ongoing financial reporting process.
|
Management acknowledges its responsibility for internal controls over financial reporting and seeks to continually improve these controls. In order to achieve compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, we are performing system and process documentation and evaluation needed to comply with Section 404, which is both costly and challenging. We believe our process for documenting, evaluating and monitoring our internal control over financial reporting is consistent with the objectives of Section 404 of the Act.
Changes in Internal Controls
The Company has continued to take remediation steps to enhance its internal control over financial reporting and reduce control deficiencies. The remediation efforts were slowed as a result of trying to integrate the operations of the Company’s acquisitions and to streamline the resulting organization. We will continue to work on the elimination of control weaknesses and deficiencies noted.
Part II OTHER INFORMATION
There are no known judgments against the Company, nor are there any known actions or suits filed or threatened against it or its officers and directors, in their capacities as such. We are not aware of any claims against the Company or any reputed claims against it at this time except for claims of two former employees of the Pak-It subsidiary. These former employees have alleged that certain monies are due them pursuant to their employment agreements and the Company has retained legal counsel to handle the claims. The amounts of the claims are immaterial to the Company.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on July 9, 2010.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
