PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Our Company
Environmental Science and Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company), formerly known as APEX 5, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 18, 2012. On June 21, 2013, the Company completed an acquisition of intangible assets comprised of intellectual property and trademarks from its Chief Executive Officer. In conjunction with the acquisition of the intangible assets, the Company commenced operations. As of June 30, 2013 the Company had more than nominal operations and no longer considered itself to be a shell company within the meaning of applicable securities laws. In particular, as of such date, the Company had raised capital, hired employees, leased space, engaged consultants and advisors, conducted extensive sales and marketing related activities (both domestically and internationally), negotiated vendor and supplier relationships and engaged sellers representatives. Moreover, the Company has, since June 30, 2013, realized material revenues from its EnviroPack and SpillCon businesses, which arose from its sales and marketing activities conducted prior to June 30, 2013. In addition to the foregoing, through December 31, 2013, the Company realized approximately $521,000 in revenues. Based upon the foregoing, the Company no longer considers itself a Development Stage Company.
The Companys business had been operated through four wholly-owned subsidiaries, each of which is a Delaware corporation: Remote Aerial Detection Systems, Inc., EnviroPack Technologies, Inc., SpillCon Solutions, Inc., and SorbTech Manufacturing, Inc. Remote Aerial Detection Systems, Inc. (RADS) was intended to be an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) reseller of dedicated mission specific non-aerial ISR and aerial ISR aircraft platforms for the oil and gas industry, as well as government agencies. To date, RADS has no revenue and is currently inactive. EnviroPack Technologies, Inc. is a provider of United Nations/Department of Transportation (UN/DOT) certified environmental waste packaging solutions for the safe disposal of a variety of hazardous waste streams. SpillCon Solutions, Inc. (SpillCon) is a distribution business, comprised of environmental spill response and control products (primarily absorbent products), which sells to the oil and gas industry, environmental cleanup industry, and government agencies. The Company is developing a b2b ecommerce website, EnviroMart.com, for the procurement of environmental protection products by environmental, health and safety businesses and professionals. Subject to the receipt of additional funding, the Company intends to invest further into the development of its e-commerce software infrastructure, order fulfillment and internet marketing, in order to establish EnviroMart.com as a market leader in the environmental, waste management and health care industries. SorbTech Manufacturing, Inc. (SorbTech) is a new business which is anticipated to manufacture, distribute and sell proprietary consumer and commercial spill control products for the hazardous and bio-hazardous waste clean-up markets.
Products and Services
EnviroPack Technologies, Inc./SpillCon Solutions
EnviroPacks principal business is the distribution of environmental compliance packaging solutions for environmentally sensitive waste materials. SpillCons principal business is in the distribution of spill control products for marine and land based oil and chemical spills.
The following constitute EnviroPacks current major product categories: hazardous waste disposal and containment products for environmentally sensitive waste materials. Waste materials are typically generated from the by-products of a diverse list of manufacturing companies. In addition, EnviroPack products are used for the remediation and clean-up of legacy Superfund waste sites related to the disposal of environmental waste accumulated over time.
SpillCons current major product categories include products designed to aid in the detection, response, deployment, containment, clean up and remediation of oil and chemical spills. SpillCons product mix is a compilation of several of the premier sorbent manufacturers in the industry. Certain of SpillCons products are proprietary and unique in design and functionality.
In addition to our current product lines, subject to the availability of sufficient funds, which we do not currently have, we anticipate that we will over the next three to six months be developing a line of private label products for both EnviroPack and SpillCon. Our products are largely geared towards environmental cleanup and emergency response firms that are certified to handle, process and treat a wide variety of hazardous and non-hazardous waste materials. In addition, both large and small manufacturing companies that generate waste through their processing facilities are ideal candidates for our products. Municipalities, utilities and military agencies are also prime prospects for our proprietary product lines.
5
The market for EnviroPack/SpillCon products is broken down into three customer categories - Environmental Response companies, Supply Dealers and Waste Generators. Each group consists of three sub-groups: a few Tier 1, several Tier 2 and an unlimited number of Tier 3 Customers. Tier 1 Environmental customers consist of national environmental response firms with multiple locations throughout the US. Environmental Tier 2 clients are more regional in scope with several locations. The Tier 1 and 2 firms are all about the same size in specific locations. Environmental Tier 3 customers are smaller and regional in scope with one main location from which they operate. The same basic market structure (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) exists with respect to Supply Dealers and Waste Generators.
Demand for our EnviroPack/SpillCon products is driven to a significant extent by the existence and rigorous enforcement of federal environmental and transportation regulations. In particular, strict enforcement of regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Transportation (DOT) and Homeland Security (US Coast Guard) has a positive impact on the demand for our products.
Remote Aerial Detection Systems, Inc. (RADS)
RADS was intended to embody the detection component of the corporate strategy by specializing as an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems integrator. RADS was intended to be a reseller of dedicated mission specific non-aerial ISR and aerial ISR aircraft platforms for the oil and gas industry as well as government agencies. RADS plan was to provide customers with state of the art electronics, such as ground penetrating radar, LIDAR, FLIR and hyper-spectral camera systems. All systems are mission dependent, able to perform multiple missions with various quick-change applications for oil spill monitoring & detection, as well as proactive security and border patrol, and natural resource exploration in offshore and onshore territories.
RADS has not realized any revenue and is currently inactive.
Marketing and Distribution
We market and distribute our products and services primarily through a direct sales force. In addition, we market and distribute our products and services through authorized distributors.
EnviroPack/SpillCon
EnviroPack/SpillCon products are distributed through several channels. Our core method of distribution is through select and established container, safety supply and material handling distributors strategically located throughout the US and Canada. The use of public warehousing facilities throughout the US will assist in rapid delivery of products to the environmental emergency response market. All products will be initially warehoused in our central distribution center in Southern NH. We also anticipate a line of private label products which we expect to distribute through a few hand-picked online catalog safety supplier companies, such as Lab Safety, New Pig, Uline and Grainger.
RADS
RADS is essentially intended to be a reseller of aerial and non-aerial ISR systems. If and when we re-activate RADS, we anticipate that it will, in general, through its own internal sales force, either broker or direct sell ISR systems to end-users. RADS may also utilize the services of third party agents for the purpose of facilitating introductions to prospective customers. These third party agents will be compensated by RADS upon consummation of transactions with customers for which they made the relevant introduction.
Competition
In general, we compete against much larger entities, most of which have substantially greater financial resources than we do. We operate in an extremely competitive market for all of our product offerings.
6
EnviroPack/SpillCon
Our environmental waste packaging business (EnviroPack) competes against offerings of such companies as Georgia-Pacific and International Paper. Our environmental spill response and control products business (SpillCon) competes with such companies as New Pig Corporation, Brady Corporation, Complete Environmental Products, Inc. and Sellars Absorbent Materials, Inc. Our main competitors consist of a few regional companies scattered throughout the US. No one company has dominant market share. There are no major competitors in our geographical region. We anticipate that as our sales grow, our buying power will increase, which should in turn improve our competitive position. We also believe that our product designs and certifications are superior in quality to the other regional companies in our space. We believe that the EnviroPack brands are among the most recognized in the environmental waste containment industry.
RADS
RADS, now inactive, competed directly with mainly European and Australian companies, as well as large US corporations. Competitors include such companies as Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Harris Corporation, KEYW Corporation, BAE Systems, L3, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and AeroVironment, Inc. In general, however, because RADS was focused on nonmilitary applications, it was not generally competing against these much larger companies. If and when we re-activate RADS, we expect to compete on the basis of price and customer service. In particular, we believe that, in general, we would have lower overhead than our competitors, which would enable us to offer more competitive pricing, while maintaining acceptable gross margins. In addition, because we are smaller and less bureaucratic than many of our competitors, we believe that we would be able to be more responsive to the needs of our customers.
In general, the companies that our businesses compete with have financial and other resources far in excess of our resources, which results in a very difficult competitive environment for the Company. This challenging competitive environment has many potential adverse effects, including making it much more difficult for the Company to secure new business, as well as retain existing business. In addition, the competitive environment in which we operate tends to limit our gross margins and our ability to pass increasing costs onto our customers. Finally, since our competitors generally have substantially greater financial and other resources, than do we, they generally have a far greater capacity to innovate, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage, and, accordingly have an adverse effect upon our long-term profitability and growth.
We compete in all our markets on the basis of meeting our customers business needs with a viable solution that offers high quality products at an affordable price, coupled with a high level of customer support and service.
Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers
EnviroPack/SpillCon
Our manufacturers, which are ISO certified, source the raw materials for and manufacture our finished products utilizing our proprietary designs. Generally, our products are produced on a purchase order basis, as we do not have manufacturing agreements with the companies who manufacture our products. We hand pick our manufacturers based on several factors, including location, size, certifications, machinery capabilities and price competitiveness. Our EnviroPack products incorporate primarily the following raw materials: corrugated paper, polyethylene and polypropylene. Currently, with respect to EnviroPack, our manufacturers include International Paper, Greif, Norampac and Laddawn. We also utilize Tier 2 manufacturers for approximately 25% of our purchased inventory. Our SpillCon products incorporate primarily the following raw materials: polypropylene, polymers, cellulose, and other organic, inorganic and synthetic materials, all with various degrees of sorbency properties. With respect to SpillCon, our manufacturers include Spilltech, ESP, ProSorbents and Omni/Ajax, among others. We are negotiating with a few more key manufacturers that will co-develop the next generation sorbent products with us. We anticipate that these agreements will facilitate an exclusive agreement to manufacture our own private label brands. Subject to the availability of sufficient funds, which we do not currently have, we expect to enter into these agreements over the next three to six months.
RADS
Because RADs, currently inactive, was intended to be a reseller of ISR systems, third-party manufacturers would have sourced the raw materials for and manufacture the ISR systems that we intended to sell to end-users. In general, if we re-activate RADS, we would expect to work with ISR system integrators, such as Summit Technologies, Commuter Air Technologies and Stevens Aviation. We could also work with integrators that are affiliated with manufacturers such as Diamond, Technam, Stemme and King Air. These ISR system integrators generally purchase components (aircraft and various types of sensors) from third-party manufacturers for incorporation into the required ISR system.
7
Customers
Through December 31, 2013, the Company realized approximately $521,000 in revenues.
EnviroPack/SpillCon
We anticipate that our largest account will not represent more the 15% of our overall EnviroPack business.
RADS
RADS has no revenue and no customers; it is currently inactive. If we re-activate RADS, we anticipate that we would at least initially engage in transactions with a limited number of large customers, principally governmental entities. Accordingly, at least initially, we expect that if we re-activate RADS, one or more of our customers could make up a large percentage of our overall RADS business. We anticipate that if we were able to expand this business over time, our dependence on a limited number of customers would diminish.
Personnel
As of December 31, 2013, we employed 6 persons.
Intellectual Property
In general, we rely primarily on a combination of trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws, and confidentiality procedures to protect our technology. Due to the technological change that characterizes our business, we believe that the improvement of existing products, reliance upon trade secrets and unpatented proprietary know-how and the development of new products are generally as important as patent protection in establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage.
EnviroPack/SpillCon
Our EnviroPack product mix is considered proprietary and unique in its design and functionality. Our SpillCon product mix is comprised of many products which are also considered proprietary in design and functionality.
As of December 31, 2013, we do not own any patents and had no patents pending. We have not been nor are we currently involved in or aware of any litigation regarding any of our intellectual property.
We have a number of registered trademarks which we consider important to the protection of our EnviroPack brands.
Governmental Regulation
EnviroPack/SpillCon
EnviroPack products must undergo an extensive certification process by a 3rd party permitted testing facility as designated by the Department of Transportation. The products must comply with applicable federal regulations. Each product carries with it its own unique certification number and must be legibly marked on each package. The certification must be performed annually to ensure compliance with QA/QC standards. SpillCon products undergo specific sorbency testing by our manufacturers and many products are tested at OMHSETT in New Jersey. OMHSETT is the largest outdoor saltwater wave/tow tank facility in North America and is the only facility where full-scale oil spill response equipment testing, research, and training can be conducted in a marine environment with oil under controlled environmental conditions (waves and oil types).
Vigorous enforcement of environmental laws and regulations drives demand for our environmental containment products, as our products enable our customers to maintain compliance with regulations concerning packaging, storage and shipping of environmentally sensitive waste materials for processing and disposal. In addition, vigorous enforcement of regulations of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as the governing agency for the US Coast Guard also drive demand for our SpillCon products. Conversely, lax enforcement of these laws and regulations could diminish demand for our containment and spill control products.
8
If we re-activate RADS, we would expect to resell ISR systems throughout the world, and thus would be subject to US Federal Export Regulations. In general, these regulations require persons who sell products that can be used for military purposes in foreign countries to be registered with the US State Department to broker and sell such products. We would need to comply with all such regulations to the extent applicable to us. If we re-activate RADS, we would expect non-U.S. based revenue to be potentially substantial; we do not however view these regulations as particularly onerous nor would we expect the related compliance costs to be material to our operations.
Seasonality
Through December 31, 2013, the Company realized approximately $521,000 in revenues. Accordingly, we do not yet have a historical basis to determine whether our revenue will be subject to seasonal fluctuation. We do, however, anticipate some seasonality in our revenues, with somewhat lower revenues during the summer and winter months.
Available Information
We are currently developing a corporate Internet site. The public may read and copy any materials we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to the foregoing, at the SECs Public Reference Room at 100 F St., NE, Washington, DC 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10 AM to 3 PM. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding the Company and other issuers that file electronically with the SEC.
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We are headquartered in Plaistow, New Hampshire, where we lease space from an entity controlled by Michael R. Rosa, our Chief Executive Officer and a significant shareholder. Currently, we are leasing approximately 10,000 square feet of space, of which 2,000 square feet is dedicated to administration, 500 square feet is dedicated to research and development and 7,500 square feet is dedicated to warehouse. The monthly rent for this facility is $7,500. This is a gross lease under which the landlord pays taxes, utilities and maintenance and repairs. We believe that our current office space is adequate for current and anticipated near term levels of business activity.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Except as disclosed herein, we are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. To the knowledge of our management, except as disclosed herein, no federal, state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any proceeding against us.
On or about August 12, 2014, we received a Notice of Debarment from the US Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) (the Notice). The Notice (i) prevents us from bidding on new government contracts and (ii) precludes the renewal of any existing contract that is otherwise renewable. The Notice was issued to us because our CEO (who is also a significant shareholder of our company) is affiliated with a company that is alleged to have sold products to the DLA that did not conform to the applicable contract. The DLA has not alleged any wrongdoing whatsoever with respect to our company or its contracts with the DLA.
As a result of the Notice, we are not able to bid on any new US government contracts that might otherwise be of interest to us, unless and until the Notice is withdrawn or rescinded as a result of our negotiations with the government or through an adjudication on the merits.
On November 3, 2014, the Company filed a letter with DLA opposing the proposed notice of debarment based on ESTs alleged affiliation with the other company. DLA has not yet acted upon the matter.
If we are unable to have the Notice rescinded/terminated, we will not be able to bid on future US government contracts, in which case there could be an adverse effect on our revenues and profitability, unless we are able to replace the resulting revenue loss. We intend to vigorously pursue rescission/termination of the Notice.

Unregistered Sales
The company issued a consultant 32,500 shares on October 1, November 1 and December 1, 2013. These shares were valued at $0.10 per share
The Company believes that the foregoing transactions were exempt from the registration requirements under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act) or Section 4(2) under the Act, based on the following facts: in each case, there was no general solicitation, there was a limited number of investors, each of whom was an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act, as amended) and/or was (either alone or with his/her purchaser representative) sophisticated about business and financial matters, each such investor had the opportunity to ask questions of our management and to review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and all shares issued were subject to restrictions on transfer, so as to take reasonable steps to assure that the purchasers were not underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) under the 1933 Act.

Shell Companies
The following is an excerpt from Rule 144(i) regarding resales of securities of shell companies:
(i) Unavailability to securities of issuers with no or nominal operations and no or nominal non-cash assets.
(1)
This section is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by an issuer defined below:
(i)
An issuer, other than a business combination related shell company, as defined in §230.405, or an asset-backed issuer, as defined in Item 1101(b) of Regulation AB (§229.1101(b) of this chapter), that has:
(A)
No or nominal operations; and
(B)
Either:
(1)
No or nominal assets;
(2)
Assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or
(3)
Assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets; or
(ii)
An issuer that has been at any time previously an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i).
11
(2)
Notwithstanding paragraph (i)(1), if the issuer of the securities previously had been an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i) but has ceased to be an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i); is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issue was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports (§249.308 of this chapter); and has filed current Form 10 information with the Commission reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i), then those securities may be sold subject to the requirements of this section after one year has elapsed from the date that the issuer filed Form 10 information with the Commission.
(3)
The term Form 10 information means the information that is required by Form 10 or Form 20-F (§249.220f of this chapter), as applicable to the issuer of the securities, to register under the Exchange Act each class of securities being sold under this rule. The issuer may provide the Form 10 information in any filing of the issuer with the Commission. The Form 10 information is deemed filed when the initial filing is made with the Commission.
Securities of a shell company cannot be publicly sold under Rule 144 in the absence of compliance with this subparagraph.
Section 4(1) of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the Securities Act)
Since we are a shell company as defined in subparagraph (i) of Rule 144, our shares of common stock cannot be publicly resold under Rule 144 until we comply with the requirements outlined above under the heading Shell Companies. Until those requirements have been satisfied, any resales of our shares of common stock must be made in compliance with the provisions of the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided in Section 4(1) thereof, applicable to persons other than an issuer, underwriter or a dealer. That will require that such shares of common stock be sold in routine trading transactions, which would include compliance with substantially all of the requirements of Rule 144, regardless of its availability; and such resales may be limited to our non-affiliates. It is the position of the SEC that the Section 4(1) exemption is not available for the resale of any securities of an issuer that is or was a shell company, by directors, executive officers, promoters or founders or their transferees. See NASD Regulation, Inc., CCH Federal Securities Law Reporter, 1990-2000 Decisions, Paragraph No. 77,681, the so-called Worm-Wulff Letter.

Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Overview
On June 21, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets from Michael R. Rosa, its chief executive officer, and commenced business operations. Since completing the acquisition, the Company has raised capital, hired employees, leased space, engaged consultants and advisors, conducted extensive sales and marketing related activities both domestically and internationally, negotiated vendor relationships and engaged sellers representatives. As of June 30, 2013 the Company had more than nominal operations and no longer considered itself to be a shell company within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The Company has, since June 30, 2013, realized revenues from its EnviroPack and SpillCon businesses. The Companys business has been operated through four wholly-owned subsidiaries, each of which is a Delaware corporation: Remote Aerial Detection Systems, Inc. (RADS), EnviroPack Technologies, Inc., SpillCon Solutions, Inc. and SorbTech Manufacturing, Inc. RADS has not realized and revenue and is currently inactive.
The Company, through June 30, 2013, had not earned revenue from operations. Accordingly, previously, the Companys activities had been accounted for as those of a Development Stage Company as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915. Among the disclosures required by ASC 915 are that the Companys financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Companys inception. Since June 30, 2013, the Company has realized approximately $1,539,000 in revenues, and therefore no longer considers itself a Development Stage Company.
RADS, a wholly owned subsidiary, was intended to be a reseller of aerial (manned and unmanned) and non-aerial surveillance systems (ISR systems) for use by the oil and gas industry in leak and spill detection, exploration and security for oil and gas assets (production and distribution). In addition, our ISR systems can be used for border security, mineral exploration and topographical mapping. RADS has not realized and revenue and is currently inactive.
EnviroPack, a wholly owned subsidiary, is a provider of United Nations/Department of Transportation (UN/DOT) certified environmental waste packaging solutions for the safe disposal of a variety of hazardous waste streams. SpillCon is a distribution business comprised of environmental spill response and control products (primarily absorbent products), which will be sold to the oil and gas industry, environmental cleanup firms, industry and government agencies. SorbTech Manufacturing, Inc. will manufacture, distribute and sell proprietary consumer and commercial spill control products for the hazardous and bio-hazardous waste clean-up markets.
The Company is developing a b2b ecommerce website, EnviroMart.com, for the procurement of environmental protection products by environmental, health and safety businesses and professionals. Subject to the receipt of additional funding, the Company intends to invest further into the development of its e-commerce software infrastructure, order fulfillment and internet marketing, in order to establish EnviroMart.com as a market leader in the environmental, waste management and health care industries.
As the Company only established its business operations on June 21, 2013 (and was a shell company prior to such date), the Company has no meaningful historical business operations, with which to compare the current calendar year period. Since the Company has no comparable historical business operations, the following discussion omits discussion of income from continuing operations, expenses and other matters related to results of operations, as well as information relating to the statement of cash flows, as the Company does not believe that analysis of this information would be meaningful to investors.
Recent Developments
In addition to the asset acquisitions and commencement of business operations on June 21, 2013 described above, the Company has raised capital from equity and debt financings. During 2013, the Company raised an aggregate of $385,000 through the sale of common stock and convertible notes.
13
In addition, during July 2014, the Company received $131,000 in proceeds from the sale of common stock. In connection with this investment, our founder and CEO, Michael R. Rosa, surrendered to our treasury for cancellation 6,692,500 shares of our common stock. Following these transactions, we had 35,257,429 shares outstanding as of December 23, 2014. On September 26, 2014, we entered into a secured inventory financing agreement with Rushcap Group, Inc. a significant shareholder. Under this agreement, Rushcap Group may provide in its discretion up to $300,000 in purchase order financing. As of December 23, 2014, we had drawn down $200,000 under this agreement, which is the current amount outstanding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 23, 2014, we had no cash on hand. Consequently, we have an immediate and urgent need for additional capital. At December 31, 2013, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $437,000, compared with a current working capital deficiency of $764,000 as of November 30, 2014.
Although we are generating increasing revenues, we are incurring significant costs and expenses in connection with our business operations, implementation of our business plan and ongoing compliance costs associated with being a public company. Consequently, we are currently experiencing negative cash flows from operations.
We commenced operation during the second quarter of 2013. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013, our operating activities used $36,000 in cash (or approximately $12,000 per month) and $352,000 in cash (about $39,000 per month), respectively. The decrease in monthly cash used during the fourth quarter was caused by an increase in our current liabilities to cover product and operating costs. We do not expect to be able to continue our operating activities through increased current liabilities. We expect that our operations will continue to use cash in coming quarters as we further ramp up our operations, at least until we are able to generate additional revenue from our operating activities.
As noted above, as of December 23, 2014, we had no cash on hand. We do not have sufficient cash to fund our operations and the implementation of our business plan. As a result, we have an immediate and urgent need for additional funds. Inventory financing provided by Rushcap Group, Inc. has enabled us to grow our revenues during the last several months. We are seeking to raise funds from third parties, either in the form of debt or equity.
As of December 31, 2013, the company was delinquent with respect to the payment of Payroll Taxes for the period July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 in the amount of $46,450. As of December 30, 2014, the Company owed an aggregate of $64,554, including $18,104 in penalties and interest related to the 2013 delinquency. In addition, as of December 30, 2014, the Company is delinquent with respect to the payment of Payroll Taxes for the period January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014 in the amount of $89,046, including $16,417 in penalties and interest. Accordingly, at December 30, 2014, the Company owes an aggregate of $153,603, including $34,521 in penalties and interest. The Company believes that it will be able to secure a waiver of penalties in the aggregate approximate amount of $31,000, leaving the Company with a payroll tax liability (including interest) of approximately $122,000. The company expects to pay this amount out in installments over a three year period (approximately $3,500 per month). Since June 30, 2014, the Company has been current in the payment of its payroll taxes.
Due to the previously described inventory funding, the Company has been able significantly grow its revenue during the fourth quarter of 2014, as compared with the prior three quarters. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company had revenues of approximately $1,018,000 (or about $113,000 per month). As of December 23, 2014 and based on current orders in process, the Company expects to realize revenue of approximately $679,000 in the fourth quarter (or about $226,000 per month). Accordingly, the Company has doubled its monthly sales revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company believes this level of sales can be maintained or surpassed during the next calendar year.
In the event we do not generate sufficient funds from revenues or financing through the issuance of common stock or from debt financing, we may be unable to fully implement our business plan and pay our obligations as they become due, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to recover the value of its assets or satisfy its liabilities. See Note 3 to the Financial Statements - Going Concern.
14
In order to remedy this liquidity deficiency, we need to raise additional capital immediately, and ultimately we will need to generate substantial positive operating cash flows. Our internal sources of funds will consist of cash flows from operations, but not until we begin to realize additional sales revenues. As previously stated, our operations are generating negative cash flows, and thus adversely affecting our liquidity. We intend to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt financing. If we are unable to raise additional funds in the near term, we will not be able to implement our business plan, and it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Subject to the availability of funds, which we currently do not have, we expect to incur approximately $250,000 in capital expenditures over the next 12 months. The purpose of these capital expenditures will be for the installation of a cellulose blending system, along with an industrial sewing machine center for use in a customized cutting and sewing operation, and specific testing equipment for a research and development lab for the SpillCon business, along with other equipment modifications. We also intend to complete the build out of our Enviromart.com B2B website.
We expect to fund these capital expenditures through a combination of cash flows from operations and proceeds from equity and or debt financing. If we are unable to generate positive cash flows from operations, and/or raise additional funds (either through debt or equity), we will be unable to fund our website development expenditures, in which case, there could be an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We expect to raise additional funds in the near term from sales of shares of common stock. Additional sales of common stock will reduce the percentage interest of existing shareholders in our company. We may also raise additional funds through the sale of debt securities in the near term.
On or about August 12, 2014, we received a Notice of Debarment from the US Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) (the Notice). The Notice (i) prevents us from bidding on new government contracts and (ii) precludes the renewal of any existing contract that is otherwise renewable. The Notice was issued to us because our CEO (who is also a significant shareholder of our company) is affiliated with a company that is alleged to have sold products to the DLA that did not conform to the applicable contract. The DLA has not alleged any wrongdoing whatsoever with respect to our company or its contracts with the DLA.
As a result of the Notice, we are not able to bid on any new US government contracts that might otherwise be of interest to us, unless and until the Notice is withdrawn or rescinded as a result of our negotiations with the government or through an adjudication on the merits.
On November 3, 2014, the Company filed a letter with DLA opposing the proposed notice of debarment based on ESTs alleged affiliation with the other company. DLA has not yet acted upon the matter.
If we are unable to have the Notice rescinded/terminated, we will not be able to bid on future US government contracts, in which case there could be an adverse effect on our revenues and profitability, unless we are able to replace the resulting revenue loss. We intend to vigorously pursue recission/termination of the Notice.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Environmental Science & Technologies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Environmental Science & Technologies, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Environmental Science & Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has negative cash flows from operations, has experienced recurring net losses, and has an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2013 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013 and 2012
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Environmental Science and Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company), formerly known as APEX 5, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 18, 2012. On June 21, 2013, the Company completed an acquisition of intangible assets comprised of intellectual property and trademarks from its Chief Executive Officer. In conjunction with the acquisition of the intangible assets, the Company commenced operations. As of June 30, 2013 the Company had more than nominal operations and no longer considered itself to be a shell company within the meaning of applicable securities laws. In particular, as of such date, the Company had raised capital, hired employees, leased space, engaged consultants and advisors, conducted extensive sales and marketing related activities (both domestically and internationally), negotiated vendor and supplier relationships and engaged sellers representatives. Moreover, the Company has, since June 30, 2013, realized material revenues from its EnviroPack and SpillCon businesses, which arose from its sales and marketing activities conducted prior to June 30, 2013. In addition to the foregoing, through December 31, 2013, the Company realized approximately $521,000 in revenues. Based upon the foregoing, the Company no longer considers itself a Development Stage Company.
The Companys business has been operated through four wholly-owned subsidiaries, each of which is a Delaware corporation: Remote Aerial Detection Systems, Inc., EnviroPack Technologies, Inc., SpillCon Solutions, Inc., and SorbTech Manufacturing, Inc. Remote Aerial Detection Systems, Inc. was intended to be an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) reseller of dedicated mission specific non-aerial ISR and aerial ISR aircraft platforms for the oil and gas industry, as well as government agencies. RADS has not realized any revenue and is currently inactive EnviroPack Technologies, Inc. is a provider of United Nations/Department of Transportation (UN/DOT) certified environmental waste packaging solutions for the safe disposal of a variety of hazardous waste streams. SpillCon Solutions, Inc. (SpillCon) is a distribution business, comprised of environmental spill response and control products (primarily absorbent products), which sells to the oil and gas industry, environmental cleanup industry, and government agencies. SorbTech Manufacturing, Inc. (SorbTech) is a new business which is anticipated to manufacture, distribute and sell proprietary consumer and commercial spill control products for the hazardous and bio-hazardous waste clean-up markets.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Remote Aerial Detection Systems, Inc., EnviroPack Technologies, Inc., SpillCon Solutions, Inc, and SorbTech Manufacturing, Inc. The Company has formed two additional subsidiaries, Earth Management Technologies, Inc. and Protective Technologies, Inc., both of which are inactive. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to customers that satisfy defined credit criteria. Accounts receivable is recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value, and is presented in the Company's consolidated balance sheets net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2013, an allowance for doubtful accounts had not been deemed necessary, and therefore, not recorded.
F-7
Inventory
The Companys inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated realizable value, with cost primarily determined on a weighted-average cost basis on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company continuously evaluates the composition of its inventory, assessing slow-turning product. Estimated realizable value of inventory is determined based on an analysis of historical sales trends of our individual products, the impact of market trends and economic conditions, and a forecast of future demand, giving consideration to the value of current orders in-house relating to the future sales of inventory. Estimates may differ from actual results due to quantity, quality, and mix of products in inventory, customer demand, and market conditions. The Companys historical estimates of these costs and any provisions have not differed materially from actual results. Any reserves for inventory shrinkage, representing the risk of physical loss of inventory, are adjusted based upon physical inventory counts. As of December 31, 2013, an inventory reserve of $7,193 has been recorded.
Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash. Our cash balances are maintained in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions located in the United States. The Company occasionally maintains amounts on deposit with a financial institution that are in excess of the federally insured limits. The risk is managed by maintaining all deposits in high quality financial institutions.
For the year ended December 31, 2013 two customers represented 39% and 28%, respectively, of our total revenue, respectively.
Machinery and Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful life of depreciable assets, which is three years for machinery and equipment.
Long-lived Assets
Machinery and equipment, along with other long-lived assets, are evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their related carrying values may not be recoverable, or are less than their fair value. In evaluating long-lived assets for recoverability, the Company uses its best estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. To the extent that estimated future undiscounted net cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset and its fair value, considering external market participant assumptions. Assets to be disposed of and for which there is a committed plan of disposal are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
Intangible Assets
The Companys intangible assets have both indeterminable and finite lives, and primarily consist of intellectual property with 10 year useful lives. Intangible assets with indeterminable lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. These conditions may include a change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used or a change in future operations. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying amount by preparing estimates of future revenue, margins, and cash flows. If the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. Fair value of these assets may be determined by a variety of methodologies, including discounted cash flow models. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and, along with other long-lived assets, are evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. As of December 31, 2013, all deferred tax assets continue to be fully reserved.
F-8
Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income/loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted loss per share is considered the same as the effect of dilutive shares is anti-dilutive for all periods presented. As of December 31, 2013, there were 1,200,000 common stock equivalents that were not included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized across all segments of the business when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, price has been fixed or is determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized at the time title passes and risk of loss is transferred to customers.
Sales Reserves and Uncollectible Accounts
A significant area of judgment affecting reported revenue and net income is estimating sales reserves, which represent that portion of gross revenues not expected to be realized. In particular, wholesale revenue is reduced by estimates of returns, discounts, markdowns, and operational chargebacks. In determining estimates of returns, discounts, markdowns and operational chargebacks, management analyzes current economic and market conditions. We review and refine these estimates on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2013, a sales reserve had not been deemed necessary, and therefore, not recorded.
Cost of Goods Sold and Selling Expenses
Cost of goods sold includes the expenses incurred to acquire and produce inventory for sale, including product costs, freight-in, and any import costs, as well as changes in reserves for shrinkage and inventory realizability. Any costs of selling merchandise, including those associated with preparing the merchandise for sale, such as picking, packing, warehousing, and order charges (handling costs), are included in general and administrative fees.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company expenses all stock-based payments to employees and non-employee directors based on the grant date fair value of the awards over the requisite service period, adjusted for estimated forfeitures.
Convertible Notes
The Company records a discount to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments, as appropriate. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized to noncash interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the related debt to their date of maturity.
If a security or instrument becomes convertible only upon the occurrence of a future event outside the control of the Company, or, is convertible from inception, but contains conversion terms that change upon the occurrence of a future event, then any contingent beneficial conversion feature is measured and recognized when the triggering event occurs and contingency has been resolved.
Recent Accounting Guidance
In July 2012, the FASB issued revised guidance surrounding testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012 02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012 02). ASU 2012 02 simplifies the testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by providing entities with the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. The results of such assessment may be used as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test required under ASC topic 350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). The application of ASU 2012 02 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
F-9
ASU 2013 11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists was issued in July, 2013. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
During the year ended December 31, 2013, although the Company has generated revenue, thus far it has been unable to generate cash flows sufficient to support its operations and has been dependent on debt and equity financing. In addition to negative cash flow from operations, the Company has experienced recurring net losses, and has an accumulated deficit of $772,536 as of December 31, 2013. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to remedy this liquidity deficiency, we need to raise additional capital immediately, and ultimately we will need to generate substantial positive operating cash flows. Our internal sources of funds will consist of cash flows from operations, but not until we begin to realize substantial additional revenues from the sale of products. As previously stated, as of the date of filing of this quarterly report, we have only limited revenues, and our operations are generating negative cash flows, and thus adversely affecting our liquidity. We intend to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt financing. In addition, we expect that our operations will begin to generate increasing revenues during the last quarter of 2014, which should improve our liquidity deficiency. If we are unable to raise additional funds in the near term, we will not be able to implement our business plan, and it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Subject to the availability of funds, which we currently do not have, we expect to incur approximately $250,000 in capital expenditures over the next 12 months. The purpose of these capital expenditures will be for the installation of a cellulose blending system, along with an industrial sewing machine center for use in a customized cutting and sewing operation, and specific testing equipment for a research and development lab for the SpillCon businesse, along with other equipment modifications.
We expect to fund these capital expenditures through a combination of cash flows from operations and proceeds from equity financing. If we are unable to generate positive cash flows from operations, and/or raise additional funds (either through debt or equity), we will be unable to fund our capital expenditures, in which case, there could be an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Since March, 2013, we have raised an aggregate of approximately $515,000 from the sale of shares of common stock and convertible promissory notes. We expect to raise additional funds in the near term from the further equity and/or debt offerings. Additional sales of common stock or securities convertible into common stock will reduce the percentage interest of existing stockholders in our Company.
NOTE 4. INVENTORY
Inventory consisted of finished goods and raw materials amounting to $44,780 as of December 31, 2013. The Company had an inventory reserve of $7,193 as of December 31, 2013.
NOTE 5. EQUIPMENT
Equipment, net consisted of the following as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:
|
| December 31, 2013 |
| December 31, 2012 |
Machinery and equipment | $ | 78,256 | $ | − |
Less: accumulated depreciation |
| (7,460) |
| − |
Equipment, net | $ | 70,796 | $ | − |
The Company recorded depreciation expense of $7,460 and $-0- for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
F-10
NOTE 6. CONVERTIBLE NOTES
During September, 2013, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to accredited investors in the principal amounts of $100,000 and $50,000. These notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The original maturities of the $100,000 note and the $50,000 note were July 15, 2014 and September 10, 2014. The notes are convertible into shares of common stock at the rate of $0.125 per share. The convertible note in the principal amount of $100,000 was amended in July 2014 to extend its maturity date to July 15, 2015 and to make it non-interest bearing. The convertible note in the principal amount of $50,000 was amended in October 2014 to extend its maturity date to September 10, 2015, reduce the conversion rate of the note from $0.125 to $0.05 per share, allow the note holder to elect to receive stock in lieu of cash for his interest and issue the note holder 100,000 shares of common stock in consideration of this agreement. See Note 12 Subsequent Events.
At the time of issuance the Company assessed the conversion feature to determine if it contained a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) as per ASC 470. The Company determined it did not have a BCF since the conversion price was greater than the market price of the common stock on the date of issuance.
As of December 31, 2013 the Company owed principal and accrued interest of $151,274 related to the convertible promissory notes.
NOTE 7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On June 21, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of its common stock to an officer of the Company for the purchase of intellectual property and trademarks. Given that the officer owned more than 50% of the Companys stock at the time the transaction was deemed to be between entities under common control, the asset is required to be recorded at historical cost. As such, the asset was valued at $-0- since the Company had not incurred any cost in creation of the intellectual property or trademarks. Had the officer owned less than 50% of the Companys stock, the asset would have been recognized at fair value, which is $0.10 per share or $325,000. See Notes 9 and 10.
On September 23, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 350,000 shares of its common stock and agreed to pay $25,000 in cash to a third party for the purchase of intellectual property, patents and unregistered trademarks at a price of $0.10 per share resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $60,000.
On December 31, 2013, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the intangible assets as it related to the likelihood that their full value would be received. Based on the evaluation, the Company determined that the value of the assets should be permanently impaired as the trademarks are unregistered and the patents were either expired or would be expiring within the next 12 months.
The Company realized a charge of $60,000 related to the impairment of these assets.
NOTE 8. LEASES
The Company leases its primary facility in Plaistow, New Hampshire for $7,500 per month from an entity owned beneficially by the Companys CEO and significant shareholder. The lease commenced on May 1, 2013 and expires on April 30, 2015. See Note 9.
The Companys future minimum lease payments are as follows:
2014 |
| 90,000 |
2015 |
| 30,000 |
Total | $ | 120,000 |
NOTE 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On March 6, 2013, an officer of the Company contributed $500 to the Company. The amount was considered a contribution to capital.
From the Companys inception date (June 18, 2012) through June 30, 2013, a former officer of the Company paid $2,924 of the Companys expenses. The related liability was released by the former officer and settled in full during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The settlement was considered a contribution to capital.
F-11
The Company leases its facility, which consists of 10,000 square feet of office and warehouse space located in Plaistow, New Hampshire for $7,500 per month from an entity owned beneficially by the Companys CEO and majority shareholder. The lease is a gross lease under which the landlord pays all taxes, maintenance and repairs, and insurance. The lease commenced on May 1, 2013 and expires on April 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2013, $7,500, is due under this agreement.
During May 2013, the Company entered into an arrangement with Enco Industries, Inc. (Enco), a company that is controlled by the Companys CEO and then majority shareholder, under which Enco provided administrative and support related services, including warehouse personnel, to the Company for a fixed price of $15,000 per month. The Company recorded the related expenses as support services, which amounted to $97,500 for the year ended December 31, 2013. $11,463 of the support services expense was classified as cost of goods sold for year ended December 31, 2013. This agreement was terminated on November 15, 2013.
During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Companys board of directors authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 11,221,429 founders shares, at a price of $0.0001 per share, being the par value per share. Of the 11,221,429 founders shares, 2,921,429 shares were authorized for issuance to individuals not considered related parties. The aggregate purchase price was $1,123. See Note 10 - Stockholders Equity.
On June 21, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of its common stock to the CEO and then majority shareholder of the Company for the purchase of intellectual property and trademarks. Given that the officer owned more than 50% of the Companys stock at the time, the asset is required to be recorded at historical cost. As such, the asset was valued at $-0- since the Company had not incurred any cost in creation of the intellectual property or trademarks. Had the officer owned less than 50% of the Companys stock, the asset would have been recognized at fair value, which is $0.10 per share or $325,000. See Note 10 Stockholders Equity.
As of December 31, 2013, $10,000 of the $25,000 cash portion of the consideration paid for the purchase of intellectual property had been paid. The remaining $15,000 is included on the consolidated balance sheet as a due to employee because the seller of the intellectual property was hired as an employee of the Company subsequent to the effectiveness of the transaction.
NOTE 10. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Founders Shares

Common Stock Issued for the Purchase of Assets
On July 29, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of its common stock to an officer of the Company for the purchase of intellectual property and trademarks. Given that the officer owned more than 50% of the Companys stock at the time, the asset is required to be recorded at historical cost. As such, the asset was valued at $-0- since the Company had not incurred any cost in creation of the intellectual property or trademarks. Had the officer owned less than 50% of the Companys stock, the asset would have been recognized at fair value, which is $0.10 per share or $325,000.

NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES
A reconciliation of the expected income tax benefit (provision) computed using the federal statutory income tax rate of 34% and New Hampshire statutory income tax rate of 8.5% to the Companys effective income tax rate is as follows:

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting computed at the effective income tax rate. The Company has established a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets. Management periodically evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. At such time it is determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced.
The Company files U.S. federal and New Hampshire income tax returns. Our major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and the State of New Hampshire and are subject to tax examinations for the open years from 2012 through 2013. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not filed its tax return for the fiscal year ended 2013. While none are anticipated, fines and/or penalties may be associated with the delinquent filing.
F-13
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $618,000 and $1,000, respectively. Such carry-forwards may be used to reduce taxable income, if any, in future year subject to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income and New Hampshire tax purposes. The Company believes an ownership change may have occurred, as defined by Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, which could result in the forfeiture of a significant portion of its net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company is not using any tax attributes in the current year, but will analyze whether a change occurred and the related impact on its gross deferred tax assets, if needed. As the Company's analysis is not complete, the impact to its gross deferred tax assets is uncertain.
NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 750,000 shares of common stock to Network 1 Financial Securities LLC (Network 1) and its designees as compensation for services to be rendered in connection with a placement agent agreement entered into with Network One. These shares were valued at $0.10 per share.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company's CEO paid $98,268 in expenses of the Company through the use of his personal funds and personal credit cards. See Below. Through December 23, 2014, the Companys CEO has paid $138,989 in expenses of the Company.
On July 12, 2014, the Company sold 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to a single accredited investor for gross proceeds of $6,000 (a per share price of $.002).

Mr. Rosa agreed to accept a promissory note in the amount of $98,268 for amounts he has advanced on behalf of the Company through June 30, 2014. This note is non-interest bearing and matures July 15, 2015.
The Agreement also provides that if the Board of Directors should at any time determine to discontinue the business operations of the Company, then, subject to compliance with applicable laws, the Company will transfer to Michael R. Rosa its discontinued operating businesses, in exchange for his surrendering to the Company all shares of common stock of the Company owned or controlled by him.
In connection with the foregoing transaction, the Company, on July 14, 2014, sold to Rushcap Group, Inc. (Mark Shefts designee) (an accredited investor) 10,000,000 shares of its common stock, for aggregate consideration of $125,000 (a per-share price of $.0125).
Except as disclosed herein, we are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. To the knowledge of our management, except as disclosed herein, no federal, state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any proceeding against us.
F-14
On or about August 12, 2014, we received a Notice of Debarment from the US Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) (the Notice). The Notice (i) prevents us from bidding on new government contracts and (ii) precludes the renewal of any existing contract that is otherwise renewable. The Notice was issued to us because our CEO (who is also a significant shareholder of our company) is affiliated with a company that is alleged to have sold products to the DLA that did not conform to the applicable contract. The DLA has not alleged any wrongdoing whatsoever with respect to our company or its contracts with the DLA.
As a result of the Notice, we are not able to bid on any new US government contracts that might otherwise be of interest to us, unless and until the Notice is withdrawn or rescinded as a result of our negotiations with the government or through an adjudication on the merits.
On November 3, 2014, the Company filed a letter with DLA opposing the proposed notice of debarment based on ESTs alleged affiliation with the other company. DLA has not yet acted upon the matter.
If we are unable to have the Notice rescinded/terminated, we will not be able to bid on future US government contracts, in which case there could be an adverse effect on our revenues and profitability, unless we are able to replace the resulting revenue loss. We intend to vigorously pursue rescission/termination of the Notice.
In August, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with an accountant pursuant to which he is compensated for his services at a rate of $75 per hour for the first 20 hours per week, then 1,000 shares per hour for every hour, or partial hour, thereafter. These shares are valued at $0.0125 per share. Through December 23, 2014, the Company has issued 54,000 shares and is obligated to issue an additional 132,000 shares under this agreement.
In September 26, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Rushcap Group, Inc. (controlled by Mark Shefts (a significant shareholder)) to provide a revolving line of credit to purchase inventory to the Company. The maximum borrowing amount under this agreement is $300,000. Interest is charged at a rate of 3.5% per advance for the first 30 day period or portion thereof, then 1.5% per 30 day period or portion thereof until paid with a maximum borrowing term of 120 days per advance. Payments are due within 30 days of the Company receiving payment from the customer for invoices which are funded under this agreement. Through December 23, 2014, $200,000 had been advanced to the company under this agreement (currently outstanding),
In October, 2014, the convertible note in the principal amount of $50,000 was amended to extend its maturity date to September 10, 2015, reduce the conversion rate of the note from $0.125 to $0.05 per share and allow the note holder to elect to receive stock in lieu of cash for his interest. The Company issued the note holder 100,000 shares of common stock in consideration of this agreement.
As of December 31, 2013, the company was delinquent with respect to the payment of Payroll Taxes for the period July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 in the amount of $46,450. As of December 30, 2014, the Company owed an aggregate of $64,554, including $18,104 in penalties and interest related to the 2013 delinquency. In addition, as of December 30, 2014, the Company is delinquent with respect to the payment of Payroll Taxes for the period January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014 in the amount of $89,046, including $16,417 in penalties and interest. Accordingly, at December 30, 2014, the Company owes an aggregate of $153,603, including $34,521 in penalties and interest. The Company believes that it will be able to secure a waiver of penalties in the aggregate approximate amount of $31,000, leaving the Company with a payroll tax liability (including interest) of approximately $122,000. The company expects to pay this amount out in installments over a three year period (approximately $3,500 per month). Since June 30, 2014, the Company has been current in the payment of its payroll taxes. The Company has accrued the penalties and interest assessed by the IRS in the years for which the payroll taxes were due.

ITEM 5. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 5A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the president and secretary, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our president and controller, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our president and treasurer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. We have since June 30, 2014 hired a financial controller (part time) to oversee our books and records, as well as our internal accounting function.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Our President and controller evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992). Based on this evaluation, our President concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, based on having insufficient resources to establish an effective control environment during 2013.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Security and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the year covered by this report, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Notice (i) prevents us from bidding on new government contracts and (ii) precludes the renewal of any existing contract that is otherwise renewable. The Notice was issued to us because our CEO (who is also a significant shareholder of our company) is affiliated with a company that is alleged to have sold products to the DLA that did not conform to the applicable contract.

We intend to vigorously pursue rescission/termination of the Notice.

Officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Code of Ethics
As of yet, we have not adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

Owned by record by Rushcap Group, Inc., a company controlled by Mark Shefts.
SEC Rule 13d-3 generally provides that beneficial owners of securities include any person who, directly or indirectly, has or shares voting power and/or investment power with respect to such securities, and any person who has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days. Any securities not outstanding which are subject to such options, warrants or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days are treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding securities owned by that person. Such securities are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the class owned by any other person. At the present time there are no outstanding options or warrants.
Changes in Control
The Company, on July 14, 2014, sold to a designee of Mark Shefts (Rushcap Group, Inc.) (an accredited investor) 10,000,000 shares of its common stock, for aggregate consideration of $125,000 (a per-share price of $.0125).
On July 14, 2014, Michael R Rosa, CEO of the Company, surrendered 6,692,500 shares of the Registrants common stock to the treasury, to be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
None, not applicable.
ITEM 4. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTORS INDEPENDENCE
Transactions with Related Persons
On March 6, 2013, an officer of the Company contributed $500 to the Company. The amount was considered a contribution to capital.
From the Companys inception date (June 18, 2012) through June 30, 2013, a former officer of the Company paid $2,924 of the Companys expenses. The related liability was released by the former officer and settled in full during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The settlement was considered a contribution to capital.
The Company leases its facility, which consists of 10,000 square feet of office and warehouse space located in Plaistow, New Hampshire for $7,500 per month from an entity owned beneficially by the Companys CEO and majority shareholder. The lease is a gross lease under which the landlord pays all taxes, maintenance and repairs, and insurance. The lease commenced on May 1, 2013 and expires on April 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2013, $7,500, is due under this agreement.
22
During May 2013, the Company entered into an arrangement with Enco Industries, Inc. (Enco), a company that is controlled by the Companys CEO and majority shareholder, under which Enco provided administrative and support related services, including warehouse personnel, to the Company for a fixed price of $15,000 per month. The Company recorded the related expenses as support services, which amounted to $97,500 for the year ended December 31, 2013. $11,463 of the support services expense was classified as cost of goods sold for year ended December 31, 2013. This agreement was terminated on November 15, 2013.
During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Companys board of directors authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 11,221,429 founders shares, at a price of $0.0001 per share, being the par value per share. Of the 11,221,429 founders shares, 2,921,429 shares were authorized for issuance to individuals not considered related parties. The aggregate purchase price was $1,123. See Note 10 - Stockholders Equity.
On June 21, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of its common stock to an officer of the Company for the purchase of intellectual property and trademarks. Given that the officer owned more than 50% of the Companys stock at the time, the asset is required to be recorded at historical cost. As such, the asset was valued at $-0- since the Company had not incurred any cost in creation of the intellectual property or trademarks. Had the officer owned less than 50% of the Companys stock, the asset would have been recognized at fair value, which is $0.10 per share or $325,000. See Note 10 Stockholders Equity.
As of December 31, 2013, $10,000 of the $25,000 cash portion of the consideration paid for the purchase of intellectual property had been paid. The remaining $15,000 is included on the consolidated balance sheet as a due to employee because the seller of the intellectual property was hired as an employee of the Company subsequent to the effectiveness of the transaction.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company's CEO who is also a significant shareholder paid $98,268 in expenses of the Company through the use of his personal funds and personal credit cards. In connection with the transaction described below, our CEO agreed to accept a promissory note in the amount of $98,268 for amounts he has advanced on behalf of the Company. This note is non-interest bearing and matures July 15, 2015. Through December 23, 2014, the Companys CEO has paid $138,989 in expenses of the Company.
On July 12, 2014, the Company sold 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to a single accredited investor for gross proceeds of $6,000 (a per share price of $.002).
Through July 14, 2014, a consultant received 32,500 per month for seven months, for a total of 227,500 shares, for services per an agreement dated July 22, 2013. These shares were valued at $22,750, or $0.10 per share. This agreement was terminated on July 14, 2014.
