(A Development Stage Company) |
Notes to the Financial Statements |
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) |
(Unaudited) |
1. | Nature of Business and Continuance of Operations | |
Environmental Control Corp, (the Company)
was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 17, 2004 under the
name Boss Minerals, Inc. and, effective April 13, 2006, changed its name
to Environmental Control Corp. Boss Minerals, Inc.s initial operations
included the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. |
||
On March 20, 2006, management changed its
primary business focus to that of development of emission control devices
for small spark ignition combustion engines. On March 20, 2006, the Company
entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement (the Agreement)
to acquire the principal assets of Environmental Control Corp. (ECC),
a private Canadian based company. The Company is in the development stage
as defined under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.
On April 4, 2006, the Company authorized a 5:1 stock split to be applied
retroactively. In addition, the Company increased its authorized share
capital to 200,000,000 common shares. All share amounts stated herein
have been restated to reflect the stock split. On February 26, 2007, the
acquisition of the business of ECC was completed through the issuance
of 22,500,000 shares of common stock. Prior to the acquisition of ECC,
the Company was a non-operating shell company. The acquisition is a capital
transaction in substance and therefore has been accounted for as a recapitalization,
which is outside the scope of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations.
Under recapitalization accounting, ECC is considered the acquirer for
accounting and financial reporting purposes, and acquired the assets and
assumed the liabilities of the Company. Assets acquired and liabilities
assumed are reported at their historical amounts. These financial statements
include the accounts of the Company since the effective date of the recapitalization
(February 26, 2007) and the historical accounts of the business of ECC
since inception. |
||
These financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize
its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the ability of the Company
to obtain necessary equity/debt financing and/or generate revenue and
attain profitable operations. As at March 31, 2008, the Company has working
capital of $48,736, has incurred losses totalling $1,126,543 since inception,
and has not yet generated any revenue from operations. These factors raise
substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as
a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments
to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern. |
||
Management estimates expenditures of approximately
$165,000 for research and development activities, and approximately $220,000
for other operational costs. The Company had $134,308 in cash on hand
at March 31, 2008. The Company currently has no revenues and must rely
on the sale of equity securities to fund operations. The Company will
require additional funding from the sale of equity or debt financing to
meet future estimated expenditures over the next twelve months. The Company
does not have any arrangements in place for any future equity or debt
financings, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to
obtain the necessary financings to complete its objectives. |
||
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
|
a) |
Basis of Presentation |
|
The financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States and are expressed in Canadian dollars. The Companys
fiscal year end is December 31. |
||
b) |
Interim Financial Statements |
|
The interim unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions
for Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-QSB.
They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore,
these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys
audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 2007, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
filed on April 15, 2008 with the SEC. |
||
The financial statements included herein are unaudited;
however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that,
in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Companys
financial position at March 31, 2008, and the results of its operations
and consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and 2007. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
future quarters or the full year. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(continued) |
|
c) |
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The
Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful
life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation
and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases
its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience
and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of
costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The
actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely
from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences
between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations
will be affected. |
||
d) |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
|
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in
accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires
presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS)
on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing
net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the
period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares
outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible
securities using the if- converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the
average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of
shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.
Diluted EPS and the weighted average number of common shares exclude all
dilutive potential shares since their effect is anti dilutive. |
||
e) |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments
with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash
equivalents. |
||
f) |
Financial Instruments |
|
The fair values of cash, amounts receivable, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities, convertible debt and amounts due to related
parties approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term
maturity of these financial instruments. Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily
of cash in excess of federally insured amounts. To date, the Company has
not incurred a loss relating to this concentration of credit risk. |
||
g) |
Comprehensive Loss |
|
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components in the financial statements. As at March 31, 2008 and 2007,
the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore,
has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
|
||
h) |
Foreign Currency Translation |
|
Effective on the closing of the Asset Acquisition
Agreement on February 26, 2007, the Company's functional and reporting
currency changed to the Canadian dollar. Occasional transactions may occur
in United States dollars and management has adopted SFAS No. 52 "Foreign
Currency Translation". Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
United States currency are translated using the exchange rate prevailing
at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated
in United States currency are translated at rates of exchange in effect
at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate
revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement
of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included
in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily
undertaken in United States dollars. The Company has not, to the date
of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to
offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) | |
i) | Stock-based Compensation | |
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance
with SFAS No. 123R, Share Based Payments, using the fair value
method. The Company has not issued any stock options since its inception.
All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received
for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the
fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity
instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. |
||
j) | Property and Equipment |
|
Property and equipment consists of office furniture,
equipment, and computer equipment which are recorded at cost. Office furniture
is amortized on a declining-balance basis at 20% per annum, equipment
is amortized on a declining- balance basis at 30% per annum, and computer
equipment is amortized on a declining-balance basis at 30% per annum.
|
||
k) | Long-lived Assets |
|
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company
tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events
or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not
be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but
are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset;
significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors;
accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally
expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period
cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast
of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current
expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed
significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability
is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value
which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash
flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the
asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment
loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds
fair value. |
||
l) | Research and Development Costs |
|
Research costs are expensed in the period in which
they are incurred. Development costs are also expensed unless they meet
the criteria for deferral. When development costs meet the criteria for
deferral, the development costs are deferred to the extent their recoverability
can be reasonably assured. Deferred development costs represent the cost
of developing specific products and are amortized on a straight line basis
over the expected commercial life of the product. |
||
m) | Income Taxes |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset
and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation
allowance to reduced deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed
more likely than not to be realized. |
||
n) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment to FASB
Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring
enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects
on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and
why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments
and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its
related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance,
and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged.
The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect
on the Companys financial statements. |

n) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) | |
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised
2007), Business Combinations. This statement replaces SFAS
141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that
obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and
establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves
control. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) requires an acquirer to recognize the
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest
in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values
as of that date. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) also requires the acquirer to
recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at
its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December
15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement
is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
|
||
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities an Amendment
of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting
and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary
and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective
for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption
of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements. |
||
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply
only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment
to SFAS No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading
securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys
first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The adoption of
this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements. |
||
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is
to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and
to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements
that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any
new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective
for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect
on the Company's financial statements. |

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our unaudited financial statements are stated in Canadian Dollars (Cdn$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars. All references to "US$" refer to United States dollars and all references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our", "our company" and EVCC mean Environmental Control Corp., unless otherwise indicated.
General Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 17, 2004 under the name Boss Minerals, Inc.. From inception to March 20, 2006, we were an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration of minerals properties.
By an agreement dated March 20, 2006, we agreed to acquire the principal assets of Environmental Control Corporation (ECC), a Newfoundland, Canada based company, involved in the development of emission control devices for small spark ignition combustion engines. Effective February 26, 2007, we completed the acquisition of the principal assets of ECC. The asset acquisition is deemed to be a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. ECC, whose principal assets were acquired, is regarded as the predecessor entity as of February 26, 2007.
Our plan for the twelve months following the date of this report is to continue establishing new relationships with potential clients, and to translate both new and existing relationships into sales for our company. We will also be completing a durability test on a two-stroke engine in accordance with US and Canadian regulations. Upon completion of this test, we intend to partner with engine manufacturers and apply for certification with various regulatory bodies worldwide. We will continue marketing activities on an international scale.
In addition, we intend to establish partnerships with one or more governmental organizations with a goal of further developing our catalytic muffler technology. This development would include expanding the current scope of engines tested with EVCCs technology with a goal of attracting increased attention from prospective engine and equipment manufacturers. If established, this partnership would likely involve designing, building and testing prototypes for both two-stroke and four-stroke engines.
4
Our catalytic muffler technology is registered for two patents in the United States under the titles of Combined Catalytic Muffler and Reverse Flow Catalytic Muffler. We also hold two patents in Canada under the title Combined Catalytic Muffler and Reverse Flow Catalytic Muffler. We also have one pending patent in Europe under the title of Reverse Flow Catalytic Muffler. The filing numbers are located below:
U.S.A. | 6,622,482 | ||
7,018,590 | |||
Canada | 2,448,742 | ||
2,448,648 | |||
Europe | 02742591.7 |
We expect approval and registration of pending patents by the European Patent Office within the next 6 months. Numerous tests, including tests at Carnot Emission Services in Texas, U.S.A., Bombardier Inc. in Quebec, Canada and Environment Canada's Emissions Research and Measurement Division in Ontario, Canada, have proven this technology to be extremely effective in the reduction of harmful emissions.
We currently target small spark-ignition engines, including personal transportation devices, off road recreational vehicles, personal watercrafts, water pumps and in particular the lawn and garden industry. Included under the lawn and garden segment are: walk behind rotary mowers, rear engine riding mowers, front engine lawn tractors, riding garden tractors, walk-behind rotary tillers, snow throwers, commercial turf intermediate walk-behind rotary mowers, commercial turf riding rotary mowers, gasoline powered chainsaws, gasoline powered hand-held blowers, gasoline powered backpack blowers, gasoline powered trimmers/brushcutters and gasoline powered hedge trimmers. We are currently focused on the North American market and we are targeting Original Engine Manufacturers (OEMs). The aftermarket parts segment represents a secondary market.

In the next twelve months we anticipate spending $165,000 on research and development, $110,000 on sales and marketing and $110,000 on administrative expenses. Our cash on hand at March 31, 2008 was $134,308. We plan to raise additional capital required to meet immediate short-term needs and to meet the balance of our estimated funding requirements for the twelve months, primarily through the private placement of our securities.
We are not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Future Financings
We will require additional financing in order to enable us to proceed with our plan of operations, as discussed above, including approximately $280,000 over the next 12 months to pay for our ongoing expenses. These expenses include sales and marketing, research and development, manufacturing and engineering, and general and administrative expenses. These cash requirements are in excess of our current cash and working capital resources. Accordingly, we will require additional financing in order to continue operations and to repay our liabilities. There is no assurance that any party will advance additional funds to us in order to enable us to sustain our plan of operations or to repay our liabilities.
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities.
6
We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for the expansion of our exploration operations, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations.
Contractual Obligations
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
Going Concern
We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future debt or equity financing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by managements application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share Based Payments, using the fair value method. The Company has not issued any stock options since its inception. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Item 3. Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risks
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008 using the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008, our company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
1. | Due to the significant number and magnitude of out-of-period
adjustments identified during the year-end closing process, management
has concluded that the controls over the period-end financial reporting
process were not operating effectively. Specifically, controls were not
effective to ensure that significant non-routine transactions, accounting
estimates, and other adjustments were appropriately reviewed, analyzed,
and monitored on a timely basis. This was evidenced by a significant number
of out-of-period adjustments noted during the year-end closing process
|
Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above control deficiencies.
Accordingly, our company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our companys internal controls.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that our company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008 based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by COSO.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those set forth below:
RISKS RELATED TO OUR PROPOSED BUSINESS
If we are not able to devote adequate resources to product development and commercialization, we may not be able to develop its products.
Our business strategy is to develop, manufacture and market its catalytic muffler. We believe that our revenue growth and profitability, if any, will substantially depend upon our ability to:
- raise additional needed capital for further research and development;
- complete its development of its catalytic muffler; and
- successfully introduce and commercialize its catalytic muffler.
Because we have limited resources to devote to product development and commercialization, any delay in the development of our catalytic muffler or reallocation of resources to development efforts that prove unsuccessful may delay or jeopardize the development of our company. Although management believes that it will be able to finance the continued development of our catalytic muffler through private placements and other capital sources, if they are unsuccessful in bringing our catalytic muffler to market, our companys ability to generate revenues will be adversely affected.
The commercial viability of our catalytic muffler remains largely unproven and we may not be able to attract customers.
The commercial viability of our catalytic muffler is not known at this time. If commercial opportunities are not realized from the sale and use of our catalytic muffler our ability to generate revenue would be adversely affected. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in marketing the catalytic muffler, or that customers will ultimately purchase our products. Failure to have commercial success from the sale of the catalytic muffler will significantly and negatively impact its financial condition.
If our catalytic muffler does not gain market acceptance, it is unlikely that we will become profitable.
The commercial success of our catalytic muffler will depend upon the adoption of our product by manufacturers and consumers as an approach to reduce small engine emissions. Market acceptance will depend on many factors, including:
- the willingness and ability of consumers and industry partners to adopt new technologies;
- the willingness of governments to mandate reduction of emissions from small engine machines;
- our ability to convince potential industry partners and consumers that our technologies are an attractive alternative to other technologies for reduction of emissions from small engine machines;
- our ability to manufacture products and provide services in sufficient quantities with acceptable quality and at an acceptable cost; and
- our ability to place and service sufficient quantities of our products.
If our catalytic muffler does not achieve a significant level of market acceptance, demand for the catalytic muffler will not develop as expected and it is unlikely that we will become profitable.
9
The manufacture, use or sale of our current and proposed products may infringe on the patent rights of others, and we may be forced to litigate if an intellectual property dispute arises.
If we infringe or are alleged to have infringed another partys patent rights, we may be required to seek a license, defend an infringement action or challenge the validity of the patents in court. Patent litigation is costly and time consuming. We may not have sufficient resources to bring these actions to a successful conclusion. In addition, if we do not obtain a license, do not successfully defend an infringement action or are unable to have infringed patents declared invalid, we may:
- incur substantial monetary damages;
- encounter significant delays in marketing our current and proposed product candidates;
- be unable to conduct or participate in the manufacture, use or sale of product
- candidates or methods of treatment requiring licenses;
- lose patent protection for our inventions and products; or
- find its patents are unenforceable, invalid, or have a reduced scope of protection.
Parties making such claims may be able to obtain injunctive relief that could effectively block our companys ability to further develop or commercialize our current and proposed product candidates in Canada, the United States and abroad and could result in the award of substantial damages. Defence of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any such license could substantially harm the company. Litigation, regardless of outcome, could result in substantial cost to and a diversion of efforts by our company.
We may face costly intellectual property disputes.
Our ability to compete effectively will depend in part on our ability to develop and maintain proprietary aspects of our technologies and either to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others or to obtain rights to technology owned by third parties. Our pending patent applications may not result in the issuance of any patents or any issued patents that will offer protection against competitors with similar technology. Patents we have received for our catalytic muffler and which we may receive, may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented in the future or the rights created by those patents may not provide a competitive advantage. We also rely on trade secrets, technical know-how and continuing invention to develop and maintain our competitive position. Others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to those trade secrets.
We have had negative cash flows from operations. Our business operations may fail if our actual cash requirements exceed our estimates, and we are not able to obtain further financing.
Our company has had negative cash flows from operations and we may continue to have negative cash flows. We have estimated that we will require approximately $385,000 to carry out our business plan for the twelve months ending March 31, 2009. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates, in which case we will require additional financing to finance working capital and pay for operating expenses and capital requirements until we achieve a positive cash flow.
We may not be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on acceptable terms if and when we need it. Even if financing is available it may not be available on terms that are favourable to us or in sufficient amounts to satisfy our requirements. If we require, but are unable to obtain, additional financing in the future, we may be unable to implement our business plan and our growth strategies, respond to changing business or economic conditions, withstand adverse operating results, and compete effectively.
We have a history of losses and negative cash flows, which is likely to continue unless our products gain sufficient market acceptance to generate a commercially viable level of sales.
Since inception through March 31, 2008, we have incurred aggregate net losses of $1,126,543 and we had working capital of $48,736 as of March 31, 2008. There is no assurance that we will ever operate profitably or will ever generate positive cash flow in the future.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On February 12, 2008, we closed a private placement of 970,585 units at a purchase price of $0.17 per unit, raising proceeds of $165,000. Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable for a period of two years from closing at an exercise price of $0.30. We issued all of the 970,585 common shares to seven non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933) relying on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Of the 970,585 units, 588,235 were purchased by a company controlled by our president, chief executive officer and chairman, Albert E. Hickman.
