Explanatory Note: This
Amendment No.2 on Form 8-K/A to the JBI, Inc. f/k/a 310 Holdings, Inc. (the
“Company”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June
25, 2009 (the “Form 8-K”) amends the Form 8-K in order to include updated
disclosure of the Company’s business operations.
Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June
25, 2009, JBI, Inc. (f/k/a 310 Holdings, Inc.), (the “Company”) entered into an
asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) to purchase and assume certain assets
of John Bordynuik, Inc. (“JBI”), a Delaware corporation. This is an
arms-length agreement between the Company and JBI by President and CEO John
Bordynuik, who is the majority shareholder in both 310 Holdings and John
Bordynuik Inc.
Under the
terms of the Agreement, the Company issued 809,593 shares of common stock, par
value $0.001 per share in consideration for the assets of
JBI. The closing of the Agreement occurred on July 15,
2009.
In 2009
Mr. Bordynuik exchanged cash for 66,667 shares of stock (at $3 per share) and he
received 23,846 shares to cancel debt at $3 per share. Since
April 2009 Mr. Bordynuik has returned 31 million shares of his personal stock to
the Company. The Company issued Mr. Bordynuik 1 million shares
of preferred stock with no conversion, no dividend rights but with 100 to 1
voting rights (as compared to common stock).
On August
24, 2009, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of
JavaCo, Inc. from Domark International, Inc. in exchange for $150,000 in cash
and 2,500,000 shares of common stock. On the same date the Company
issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Domark in exchange for media credits
that were valued at $9,997,134.
On
September 30, 2009, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interests of
Pak-It, LLC in exchange for $1,200,000 in cash and 625,000 shares and the
assumption of $2,665,000 in short and long term debts.
On
January 14, 2010, the Company consummated a confidential private placement with
certain accredited investors for the issuance and sale of 8,260,842 shares of
the common stock. The offering was at $0.80 and the gross proceeds
received by the Company were $6,608,673. The offering was made in
connection with the acquisition of Pak-It, LLC and within the offering converted
$2,736,000 of debt owed to the Pak-It members at a per share price of
$0.80. The total shares issued pursuant to the offering was
8,260,842.
As a
result of the private placement the Company paid all debt (except normal
recurring accounts payable and accruals) and added in excess of $3.5 million in
available cash.
Presently
Mr. Bordynuik personally owns approximately 9 million shares of common stock
(restricted) and 1 million shares of preferred stock (restricted no
dividends).
Item
2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
As a
result of the transactions listed in Item 1.01 the Company’s current operations
include:
As
“Plastic2Oil” (“P2O”) the Company will begin commercial operations of converting
waste plastic to oil. The Company has arranged to receive waste
plastic from industrial and municipal suppliers at no cost. The
Company also executed Letters of Intent for the Joint Venturing of up to 45 P2O
sites in Florida with AS PTO, LLC (an entity wholly owned by Al Sousa) and 2
ship based sites with Rick Heddle of Heddle Marine.
The
Company is also taking and evaluating applications from prospective P2O
licensees in the U.S. and Europe.
As “JBI”
the Company performs Data Migration and tape recovery services for a wide
variety of entities including as a sole sourced supplier for
NASA. Other clients include MIT, Harvard, the US Army, and Fortune
100 companies.
As
“Pak-It™” the Company manufactures and supplies cleaning chemicals for “back of
the house” cleaning for regional and national accounts. All U.S. Home
Depots are cleaned using Pak-It products. The Company owns a patent that allows
the Company to deliver condensed cleaning chemicals in water soluble
film. In the second quarter of 2010 the Company will enter the retail
market.
As
“JavaCo” the Company is part of the Supplier Diversity Network, WBENC and
currently distributes over 100 lines of equipment from fiber optic transmitters
to RF connectors.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial
Condition
Management
began executing its business plan in 2009 by acquiring three revenue generating
sources in 2009 and concentrating R & D resources on scaling P2O for a 2010
launch. Detailed summaries of each acquisition and P2O are described in detail
below.
Through
recruiting efforts and these acquisitions, management believes that it has
quickly assembled an experienced team of professionals that will allow the
Company to grow both organically (within each subsidiary) and through
synergistic acquisitions that have a demonstrated propensity towards being
eco-friendly.
The
Company believes that synergistic conglomerates will reemerge as an effective
way to pool financial and management resources and as such, JBI is positioning
itself to pool resources so it can effectively deal with local and global issues
of sustainability. By offering “green” products and continuing
to use its proprietary technologies the Company will help create solutions to
enormous problems. From Pak-It™ products, where we save fuel by “not
shipping water”, to Plastic2Oil where we will create fuel from what is currently
a costly disposal problem, the Company is well positioned for
growth.
In
addition to the management expertise that came with the acquisitions the Company
has hired Ronald C. Baldwin, Jr. as CFO and Jacob Smith as COO. These
seasoned executives have already identified areas for improvement and have acted
to make the acquisitions more profitable.
For
instance, on or about January 20, 2010, Pak-Iit reduced its workforce from 49 to
36 employees as part of a corporate restructuring of the bulk cleaning component
of the business. The Company’s Chief Operating Officer, Jacob Smith,
is overseeing the transition of the plant from primarily a bulk manufacturing
company to a highly automated plant that will allow the Company to grow revenues
by becoming more efficient and producing the water soluble packets at a rate
that will support a national retail launch. The retail launch will
require retooling the existing plant to become more efficient and will
ultimately lead to job creation through an expansion of the bulk manufacturing
capacity as well as the set-up of a new Pak-It plant in southern New
Jersey.
Data
Migration
JBI reads
high volume legacy data computer tapes for large institutions and corporations.
JBI is sole sourced by NASA and reads their 7 & 9 track computer tapes
written from the 1960’s to 2000’s. Millions of tapes were written during this
period and the data has not been recoverable to date.
John
Bordynuik, President of JBI, has developed the technology to read legacy data
computer tapes and to extract and recover the valuable data contained therein.
Mr. Bordynuik has built a strong reputation in legacy data recovery and has
completed recovery projects for the NASA, MIT, UN Tapes, the Ontario Provincial
Government, and other institutions and their founders.
Mr.
Bordynuik has experience cracking encryption used to store data onto tapes and
deciphering data for clients; this is extremely valuable in the process of
legacy data recovery and provides a value–added service to customers. Usually,
JBI’s services are required to decipher tape data after recovery. All data,
sensitive or private, is stored in a secure location and viewed only by Mr.
Bordynuik. JBI employs Mr. Bordynuik’s software to decipher all data and convert
it to modern file formats as requested by clients.
Mr.
Bordynuik has developed technology to prove mechanically that the recovered data
is 100% accurate. Prior to the development of this technology old media read on
original equipment could not be validated and its output was generally
poor.
JBI’s
technology is valuable to governmental and educational institutions, and in the
recovery of seismic data. As an example, earth science sensor data compiled by
NASA and stored on tapes can now be viewed and studied on a single computer. At
the time that these legacy tapes were written, it was not uncommon for large IBM
mainframes to have 8 kilobytes of dynamic memory and no disk drive. In the past,
it has not been possible to process decades of sensor data due to limited disk
storage, lack of dynamic memory and limited processing power, and inability to
read old tapes. From a business-unit perspective, every tape is considered a
“national asset” and high volumes of paperwork, administration and storage costs
are required to manage them. JBI can usually amalgamate 200,000 national assets
(tapes) into one national asset (hard disk array).
We have
scaled to handle multiple clients and have developed a tape transcription,
migration and normalization technology for the oil and gas market. To date,
JBI’s business has been unsolicited. In the future, JBI will utilize existing
relationships to seek new business and will seek relationships with oil and gas
clients to read their seismic data tapes.
JBI
designed and manufactured a 40-foot Mobile Data Recovery Container complete with
18 tape drives, photographing stations, servers, air handling, tape dehydration
systems, and room for tape libraries. This container is capable of reading in
excess of 700 tapes per day. It is an innovative solution to remotely read large
volumes of seismic data tapes for Oil and Gas as well as highly sensitive tapes
for Government Defense Departments. JBI is now able to transport its proprietary
technologies and processes directly to clients’ sites in order to read tapes
that contain exceptionally sensitive data or are restricted through governmental
regulations from going off-site.
3
JBI does
not use off-the-shelf-hardware and software and has the ability to design
technology to recover most legacy data and most modern media. Through
proprietary research and development that applies technology solutions with
artificial intelligence and custom hardware, firmware and software, JBI provides
the innovation necessary to be competitive in today’s market.
JBI holds
a US patent (7,115,872) for a dirty bomb detector and is exploring the
possibilities of licensing this technology to the market.
JBI
sponsored the IEEE Mass Storage Systems and Technologies Conference in Maryland
in September 2008. Mr. Bordynuik spoke at the event to highlight JBI’s findings.
The attendees are representatives from institutions in the United States and
internationally. This was a significant event for JBI.
Products
Magnetic Computer Backup
Tapes:
JBI is
sole sourced by institutions to read their large volume of legacy data 7 & 9
track tapes. In August 2008, JBI met with NASA to discuss further procurement
requirements and to work out scheduling for the arrival of more tapes. NASA has
since sole sourced JBI for all their legacy tape recovery and migration and
sends shipments of tapes on a regular basis.
JBI has
read thousands of tapes for MIT. These were written from 1960s through 1995. The
scalability of our proprietary technology enables JBI to easily expand data
recovery services for new media types. JBI will continue to use economies of
scale to increase volume and lower costs.
JBI will
use economies of scope to provide data recovery solutions for newer types of
magnetic media that include microfiche, optical media and film. JBI will
leverage the unique strategic alliance with Mr. Bordynuik to establish long-term
licensing of technologies used in our products and services. JBI will focus on
reliable and timely delivery and quality outcomes. JBI will build, strengthen
and manage the JBI brand.
Radiation
Detection Products
JBI owns
a broad-based patent for a handheld and network able dirty bomb detection
sensor. JBI has not built or sold any product under this patent to
date.
Plastic2Oil
Plastic2
Oil (“P2O”) was discovered by President John Bordynuik while mining through tape
drive research archives. Mr. Bordynuik found the solution to a process involving
breaking down plastic molecules. This research was conducted when plastic was in
its infancy and oil prices were very low. It appears to our management that the
research was conducted for non-commercial purposes and had no commercial value
at the time.
Mr.
Bordynuik explored plastic recycling when employed at the Ontario, Canada
Legislature but there was no research available at that time to make the
conversion commercially viable. Mr. Bordynuik's research was triggered when
beverage companies began to phase out returnable glass bottles, in favor of
plastic. JBI's research has revealed that this process and catalyst
is not presently commercialized. By integrating this technology into a large
batch processor the Company believes that it can accomplish the
following:
·
|
Approximately
one liter of fuel is extracted from a kilogram of
plastic
|
·
|
The
gas byproduct provides the energy necessary to fuel the process thereby
eliminating energy costs
|
·
|
Due
to our catalyst and a highly optimized process, fuel can be extracted in
four hours from a large source of raw unwashed, mixed
plastics
|
·
|
Raw
plastic materials can be acquired in many forms at little or no
cost.
|
·
|
This
technology has significant advantages over biodiesel operations due to
biodiesel's high operating costs, the high costs of raw materials, and the
high energy requirements by their
processes.
|
Alan
Barnett, JBI's Head Chemist, will oversee the optimization and deployment of
JBI's first volume Plastic2Oil processor. Alan’s experience includes
over 25 years as a chemist and the key to the P2O process involves a chemical
catalyst that is used to break down the plastic most efficiently.
It is
important to note that technology exists to convert plastic to oil; however the
processes presently utilized require excessive amounts of energy, have low
yields, and in many cases cause dramatic emission pollutants. In addition there
are alternative fuels being produced that do not appear to be economically
viable. For
instance, many biodiesel facilities have filed bankruptcy because their energy
conversion costs exceed the value of the diesel product they
produce.
4
In
particular biodiesel producers have the following challenges:
·
|
High-energy
requirements;
|
·
|
Very
poor energy return;
|
·
|
As
oil prices rise, biodiesel won't necessarily become more
viable;
|
·
|
Large
biodiesel plants incur high transportation costs of raw and processed
materials;
|
·
|
Algae
biodiesel presently costs $32/gallon to
produce;
|
·
|
Biodiesel
factories are heavily dependent on commodity prices of raw materials and
energy prices
|
Management
intends to exploit its technology to overcome the challenges facing
alternative energy corporations.
Javaco,
Inc.
In August
2009, JBI and Domark closed a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby JBI
purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Javaco, Inc.
(“Javaco”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Domark, in exchange for $150,000 and
the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to
Domark.
In
connection with the Agreement, Domark has also assigned $9,997,134 of media
credits in print and radio to the Company in exchange for the issuance of
1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company intends
to move quickly to make use of the media credits as they are available to
Pak-It, P2O and Javaco. The value of these credits is expected to be
realized through faster market penetration.
JAVACO,
Inc., formerly JAVA Company, opened for business in 1997 as a sole
proprietorship. Prior to opening JAVA Co., Judith Vazquez, owner and President,
worked several years in distribution sales and finally with RMS
Electronics/Channel. JAVA Company's initial focus was the sale of used cable TV
equipment, including amplifiers and converters to Colombia, Venezuela and
Mexico.
JAVA
Company teamed up with a distributor in Argentina to jointly cover a larger
Latin American market. JAVA Company acted as their US office, providing sales
expertise and a much needed North American connection with the manufacturers.
JAVA Company coordinated the sale, expediting, invoicing and exporting of
equipment purchased from the US and Canadian suppliers.
JAVACO,
Inc. incorporated in March 2000. Javaco is part of the Supplier Diversity
Network, WBENC. JAVACO, Inc. currently distributes over 100 lines of equipment
from fiber optic transmitters to RF connectors. To further enhance business in
the United States, new distribution lines are frequently being added including a
line of home theater and audio video products. Early in 2002, JAVACO, Inc.
expanded its US business when it hired Tina Tomblin, with over 20 years in the
cable television industry in both operations and sales, to manage sales in the
United States. Javaco will assist in establishing Plastic2Oil sites
in Mexico and Latin America using its established business connections and
knowledge in those areas. Javaco has access to high quality plastics generally
discarded by cable television and telephone companies.
Pak-It,
LLC
Pak-It
was formed in 2007 to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Dickler Chemical
Laboratories, Inc. (“DCL”). DCL was formed in 1968 to
manufacture and sell industrial cleaning chemicals regionally (the Philadelphia
"tri-state” area). For about 10 years prior to the acquisition, the company had
consistently recorded revenues in the $5 million to $6 million range with
profits in the $200,000+ range. Pak-It purchased DCL stock in
October, 2007 and on January 1, 2008 merged the DCL Pennsylvania corporation
into a newly formed Florida corporation of the same name. The company
now does business as Pak-It™, DCL Solutions, and Vanguard with its
administrative and selling office at 221 Turner Street Clearwater, FL, and the
DCL factory leased at 4201 Torresdale Avenue, Philadelphia, PA. The
DCL factory is situated on about 1.5 acres of land and has nearly 60,000 SF of
manufacturing space under roof.
Using the
patented Pak-It™ delivery system (liquid cleaner in a water soluble sachet) the
company delivers glass cleaner, disinfectant, multi-purpose, and many more
cleaning products (42 products currently) shipped in tiny packages of condensed
cleaner (inside a ‘dry’ 1 quart container). This delivery method is
“green” since it’s fully biodegradable and saves thousands of dollars in
shipping. The user simply adds water to the container without measuring or
cutting the Pak-It™. Large retailers (like Home Depot and Office
Depot) and many national Building Service Contractors already using the product
have documented significant cost savings from shipping, training, inventory
control and space.
Pak-It
also produces private label liquid cleaning supplies for a variety of well known
companies, including a retail marine supply company and an international company
that sells Pak-It’s with its pressure washers.
5
Pak-It
provides an innovative, technological approach to chemicals, both in terms of
portion control solutions and product breadth that constantly seeks to improve
quality and consistency. Pak-It also provides an operational focus on
logistics that offers individual “kits” designed to meet specific cleaning
requirements, delivered directly to each location, while remaining flexible
toward meeting other customer needs.
Pak-It
provides clients:
·
|
An
innovative, exciting cleaning
solution.
|
·
|
Fixed
costs and reduced spending.
|
·
|
Works
with the current cleaning system:
|

·
|
The
new solution is easy to train and
implement
|
·
|
Provides
better cleaning results
|
·
|
Staff

|
6
The
combination of Pak-It and the Company will assure that the Company will continue
to focus on strong internal growth. For instance, the Company has
relationships with buyers from NASA and other government agencies that will
facilitate Pak-It products being tested and hopefully purchased by these large
institutions.
The
acquisition of Pak-It provides the Company with an expanded management and
consulting team that has vast experience in operations, including setting up
joint ventures, franchises and real estate based ventures. This team
will be instrumental in executing the P2O model to market.
Further,
with the addition of Pak-It, LLC, Mr. Barnett will have access to the Pak-It
laboratory and the Pak-It chemist (who also has over 25 years of industry
experience) and the Company will be well positioned to begin P2O operations in
Philadelphia and the tri-state area.
JBI has
engaged the services of Western Creative to launch PakIt products in the retail
market through a comprehensive infomercial campaign.

RISK
FACTORS
Risks
Relating to Our Business
▪
|
WE
NEED TO MANAGE GROWTH IN OPERATIONS TO MAXIMIZE OUR POTENTIAL GROWTH AND
ACHIEVE OUR EXPECTED REVENUES AND OUR FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH WILL CAUSE
A DISRUPTION OF OUR OPERATIONS RESULTING IN THE FAILURE TO GENERATE
REVENUE.
|
In order
to maximize potential growth in our current and potential markets, we believe
that we must expand our marketing operations. This expansion will place a
significant strain on our management and our operational, accounting, and
information systems. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our
financial controls, operating procedures, and management information systems. We
will also need to effectively train, motivate, and manage our employees. Our
failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent
us from generating the revenues we expect.
In order
to achieve the above mentioned targets, the general strategies of our company
are to maintain and search for hard-working employees who have innovative
initiatives; on the other hands, our company will also keep a close eye on
expanding opportunities.
▪
|
IF
WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR GROWING OPERATIONS, WE MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF
OUR OPERATIONS.
|
If
adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms, we may not
be able to undertake expansion, continue our marketing efforts and we would have
to modify our business plans accordingly. There is no assurance that additional
financing will be available to us.
7
In
connection with our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs
and accordingly, we may not have sufficient capital to fund our future
operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend
on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of
competitive products by our competition; (iii) the level of our investment in
research and development; and (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures,
including acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain
capital in the future to meet our needs.
Even if
we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms
and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us.
Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and
adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In
addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain
financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common
stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be
available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
▪
|
NEED
FOR ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES.
|
The
Company’s future success also depends upon its continuing ability to attract and
retain highly qualified personnel. Expansion of the Company’s business and the
management and operation of the Company will require additional managers and
employees with industry experience, and the success of the Company will be
highly dependent on the Company’s ability to attract and retain skilled
management personnel and other employees. Competition for such personnel is
intense. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or
retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for skilled personnel in our
industry is significant. This competition may make it more difficult and
expensive to attract, hire and retain qualified managers and employees. The
Company’s inability to attract skilled management personnel and other employees
as needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business,
operating results and financial condition. The Company’s arrangement with its
current employees is at will, meaning its employees may voluntarily terminate
their employment at any time. The Company anticipates that the use of stock
options, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights, and phantom stock
awards will be valuable in attracting and retaining qualified personnel.
However, the effects of such plan cannot be certain.
▪
|
OUR
FUTURE SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT, IN PART, ON THE PERFORMANCE AND CONTINUED
SERVICE OF OUR OFFICERS.
|
We are
presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and
continued services of John Bordynuik. The loss of services of Mr.
Bordynuik could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operation.
▪
|
CHANGES
IN GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND LAWS AFFECTING THE IT INDUSTRY, INCLUDING
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND INTERPRETATIONS AND THE TAXATION OF DOMESTIC AND
FOREIGN OPERATIONS, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
|
Changing
laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public
disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new SEC regulations,
are creating uncertainty for companies such as ours. These new or changed laws,
regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations which, in many
instances, is due to their lack of specificity. As a result, the application of
these new standards and regulations in practice may evolve over time as new
guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in
continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs
necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We are
committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public
disclosure. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations
and standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in,
increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time
and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. In
particular, our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 and the related regulations regarding our required assessment of our
internal controls over financial reporting and our independent auditors’ audit
of that assessment has required the commitment of significant internal,
financial and managerial resources.
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board, SEC or other accounting rulemaking
authorities may issue new accounting rules or standards that are different than
those that we presently apply to our financial results. Such new accounting
rules or standards could require significant changes from the way we currently
report our financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles have been the subject of frequent
interpretations. As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
and the review of accounting policies by the SEC as well as by national and
international accounting standards bodies, the frequency of future accounting
policy changes may accelerate. Such future changes in financial accounting
standards may have a significant effect on our reported results of operations,
including results of transactions entered into before the effective date of the
changes.
We are
subject to income taxes in the United States. Our provision for income taxes and
our tax liability in the future could be adversely affected by numerous factors
including, but not limited to, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets
and liabilities, and changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles or
interpretations thereof, which could adversely impact our financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows in future periods.

▪
|
OUR
FUTURE SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT UPON OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY.
|
The
Company may not be able to protect unauthorized use of its intellectual property
and take appropriate steps to enforce its rights. Although management
does not believe that its services infringes on the intellectual rights of
others, there is no assurance that the Company may not be the target of
infringement or other claims. Such claims, even if not true, could
result in significant legal and other costs associated and may be a distraction
to management. We plan to rely on a combination of copyright, trade
secret, trademark laws and non-disclosure and other contractual provisions to
protect our proprietary rights. Because the policing of intellectual
and intangible rights may be difficult and the ideas and other aspects
underlying our business model may not in all cases be protectable under
intellectual property laws, there can be no assurance that we can prevent
competitors from marketing the same or similar products and
services.

PRODUCT
LIABILITY CLAIMS AGAINST US COULD RESULT IN ADVERSE PUBLICITY AND
POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT MONETARY
DAMAGES.
|
As with
other producers of cleaning agents, we are also exposed to risks associated with
product liability claims if the use of our products results in injury or
illness. We cannot predict what impact such product liability claims or
resulting negative publicity would have on our business or on our brand image.
The successful assertion of product liability claims against us could result in
potentially significant monetary damages, diversion of management resources and
require us to make significant payments and incur substantial legal expenses,
although we do carry product liability insurance for potential product liability
claims. Even if a product liability claim is not successfully pursued to
judgment by a claimant, we may still incur substantial legal expenses defending
against such a claim. Finally, serious product quality concerns could result in
governmental action against us, which, among other things, could result in the
suspension of production or distribution of our products, loss of certain
licenses, or other governmental penalties.

CONTROL
OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES BY STATE-OWNED OIL COMPANIES MAY IMPACT THE DEMAND
FOR OUR P2O SERVICES AND CREATE ADDITIONAL RISKS IN OUR
OPERATIONS.
|
Much of
the world’s oil and gas reserves are controlled by state-owned oil companies.
State-owned oil companies may require their contractors to meet local content
requirements or other local standards, such as joint ventures, that could be
difficult or undesirable for the Company to meet. The failure of our planned P2O
to meet the local content requirements and other local standards may adversely
impact the Company’s operations in those countries.
In
addition, many state-owned oil companies may require integrated contracts or
turn-key contracts that could require the Company to provide services outside
its core business.
▪
|
GROWTH
IN OUR REVENUES AND EARNINGS DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY
ASSIMILATE OUR NEW BUSINESSES.
|
We have
recently acquired several new businesses and cannot guarantee that we will be
able to successfully assimilate our new businesses in the future. Moreover,
acquisitions involve a number of risks, including:
•
|
integrating
the operations and personnel of the acquired
businesses;
|
||
•
|
operating
in new markets with which we are not
familiar;
|
•
|
incurring
unforeseen liabilities at acquired businesses;
|
||
•
|
disruption
to our existing business;
|
||
•
|
failure
to retain key personnel of the acquired businesses;
|
||
•
|
impairment
of relationships with employees, manufacturers and customers;
and
|
•
|
incorrectly
valuing acquired entities.
|
In
addition, integrating acquired businesses into our existing mix of businesses
may result in substantial costs, diversion of our management resources or other
operational or financial problems. Unforeseen expenses, difficulties and delays
frequently encountered in connection with the integration of acquired entities
and the rapid expansion of operations could inhibit our growth, result in our
failure to achieve acquisition synergies and require us to focus resources on
integration rather than other more profitable areas. Acquired entities may
subject us to unforeseen liabilities that we did not detect prior to completing
the acquisition or liabilities that turn out to be greater than those we had
expected. These liabilities may include liabilities that arise from
non-compliance with environmental laws by prior owners for which we, as a
successor owner, will be responsible.

Risks
Associated with Our Shares of Common Stock
▪
|
IF
WE FAIL TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROL,
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REPORT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS ACCURATELY OR TO
PREVENT FRAUD. ANY INABILITY TO REPORT AND FILE OUR FINANCIAL
RESULTS ACCURATELY AND TIMELY COULD HARM OUR REPUTATION AND ADVERSELY
IMPACT THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON
STOCK.
|
Effective
internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and
prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or
prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we
would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and
reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size
and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operation and access to capital. We have not
performed an in-depth analysis to determine if in the past un-discovered
failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our
internal control that need improvement.
▪
|
OUR
COMMON STOCK IS QUOTED ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD WHICH MAY HAVE AN
UNFAVORABLE IMPACT ON OUR STOCK PRICE AND
LIQUIDITY.
|
Our
common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC Bulletin Board
is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or
NASDAQ system. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board may
result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders
to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our
common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise
capital in the future.
▪
|
THERE
IS LIMITED LIQUIDITY ON THE OTCBB.
|
When
fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTCBB, volatility of prices
may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate
quote information. Due to lower trading volumes in shares of our common stock,
there may be a lower likelihood of one's orders for shares of our Common Stock
being executed, and current prices may differ significantly from the price one
was quoted at the time of one's order entry.
▪
|
OUR
COMMON STOCK IS THINLY TRADED, SO YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL AT OR NEAR
ASKING PRICES OR AT ALL IF YOU NEED TO SELL YOUR SHARES TO RAISE MONEY OR
OTHERWISE DESIRE TO LIQUIDATE YOUR
SHARES.
|
Currently
our Common Stock is quoted in the OTC Bulletin Board market and the trading
volume we will develop may be limited by the fact that many major institutional
investment funds, including mutual funds, as well as individual investors follow
a policy of not investing in Bulletin Board stocks and certain major brokerage
firms restrict their brokers from recommending Bulletin Board stocks because
they are considered speculative, volatile and thinly traded. The OTC Bulletin
Board market is an inter-dealer market much less regulated than the major
exchanges and our Common Stock is subject to abuses, volatility and shorting.
Thus there is currently no broadly followed and established trading market for
our Common Stock. An established trading market may never develop or be
maintained. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility
and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders. Absence of an active
trading market reduces the liquidity of the shares traded there.
The
trading volume of our Common Stock has been and may continue to be limited and
sporadic. As a result of such trading activity, the quoted price for our Common
Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of
its fair market value. Further, if we cease to be quoted, holders would find it
more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market
value of our Common Stock and as a result, the market value of our Common Stock
likely would decline.
▪
|
OUR
COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO PRICE VOLATILITY UNRELATED TO OUR
OPERATIONS.
|
The
market price of our Common Stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety
of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned
growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry,
trading volume in our Common Stock, changes in general conditions in the economy
and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us.
In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume
fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price
of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating
performance and could have the same effect on our Common Stock.
▪
|
OUR
COMMON STOCK MAYBE CLASSIFIED AS A “PENNY STOCK” AS THAT TERM IS GENERALLY
DEFINED IN THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 TO MEAN EQUITY SECURITIES
WITH A PRICE OF LESS THAN $5.00. AS SUCH OUR COMMON STOCK WOULD BE SUBJECT
TO RULES THAT IMPOSE SALES PRACTICE AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS ON
BROKER-DEALERS WHO ENGAGE IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING A PENNY
STOCK.
|
We may be
subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to its customers
prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may
cause a reduction in the trading activity of our Common Stock, which in all
likelihood would make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their
securities.
Rule
3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 establishes the definition of a
"penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a
minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less
than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not
available to us. This classification would severely and adversely affects any
market liquidity for our Common Stock.
10
For any
transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules
require that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in
penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written
agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the
penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for
transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial
information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a
reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for
that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in
financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny
stocks.
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market,
which, in highlight form, sets forth:
·
|
the
basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination,
and
|
·
|
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases
of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to
be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the
account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Because
of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the
above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter
difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our Common Stock, which may
affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell
their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the
level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales
practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our common stock,
if and when our common stock becomes publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity
for our common stock may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of
our common stock. Our Common Stock, in all probability, will be subject to such
penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, in all
likelihood, find it difficult to sell their common stock.
MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that
involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 8-K,
including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow
sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”,
“believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions,
identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business, including
but not limited to, reliance on key customers and competition in its markets,
market demand, product performance, technological developments, maintenance of
relationships with key suppliers, difficulties of hiring or retaining key
personnel and any changes in current accounting rules, all of which may be
beyond the control of the Company. The Company adopted at management’s
discretion, the most conservative recognition of revenue based on the most
astringent guidelines of the SEC in terms of recognition of revenue. The
Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set
forth therein.
In
addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of
operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of
the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline
any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Plan
of Operations
JBI,
Inc., (f/k/a 310 Holdings Inc.), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on
April 20, 2006. John Bordynuik purchased 63% of the issued and outstanding
shares of 310 Holdings on April 24, 2009. Subsequently, John
Bordynuik was appointed President and CEO of the Company. Management
has transitioned the Company to become a global technology leader whose purpose
is to mine data from Bordynuik’s large information archive, find
under-productive entities to inject our superior proprietary technologies into,
and benefit from increased productivity and profitability, beginning with
Plastic2Oil.
Management
immediately executed its business plan by acquiring three revenue generating
sources during this quarter. Detailed summaries of each acquisition are
described below.
Through
these acquisitions, management believes that it has quickly assembled an
experienced team of professionals that will allow the Company to grow both
organically (within each subsidiary) and through synergistic acquisitions that
have a demonstrated propensity towards being eco-friendly.
11
The
Company believes that synergistic conglomerates will reemerge as an effective
way to pool financial and management resources and as such, JBI is positioning
itself to pool resources so it can effectively deal with local and global issues
of sustainability. By offering “green” products and continuing
to use its proprietary technologies the Company will help create solutions to
enormous problems. From Pak-It™ products, where we save fuel by “not
shipping water”, to Plastic2Oil where we will create fuel from what is currently
a costly disposal problem, the Company is well positioned for
growth.
In
addition to the management expertise that came with the acquisitions the Company
has hired Ronald C. Baldwin, Jr. as CFO and Jacob Smith as COO. These
seasoned executives have already identified areas for improvement and have acted
to make the acquisitions more profitable. (Detailed resumes are included
below)
Creating
New Technology – Bit by Bit
To
continue the Company’s plan of commercializing data mined from the tape recovery
sector of our business we continue our work on a retrofitted lab-model
Plastic2Oil processor. We also procured a 20 MT (metric ton) Plastic2Oil
Processor and are now developing all aspects of the process from procurement, to
automated systems of feeding, processing, and collecting oil..
Using the
prototype, the Company has been successful in producing ASTM certified fuel from
the Plastic2Oil process and proprietary catalyst in quantities up to 100 liters.
The company was unable to test its process in larger quantities as the 20MT
processor is still being assembled. The 20MT processor is being meticulously
assembled and each assembly process is being photographed and logged so that the
processes and procedures for the final operating unit can modeled, independently
tested, and the put into production quickly where plastic discards are readily
available. Management believes, based upon prototype testing to date,
that each large processor will process 20 metric tons of plastic in a continuous
operation. Results will vary by location and feedstock
type.
The
Company has made very positive productive progress with its P2O
operations.
On
December 22, 2009, the Company and Rick Heddle agreed to a Joint Venture whereby
Heddle Marine Service, Inc. will retrofit ships with P2O processors. The Company
is now finalizing a JV Agreement for production of its first P2O ship with
Heddle. JBI anticipates contracting with various countries to convert their
plastic waste into oil. Also, JBI has signed a Letter of Intent for the
establishment of an Area Development Agreement (ADA) for 45 P2O sites in the
State of Florida with AS PTO, LLC, an entity controlled by Al Sousa of Largo,
Florida. Both Heddle and Sousa have strong management capabilities
and are expected to be essential to the scaling up of a nationwide P2O
launch.
The
Company has also been focusing on the Pak-It business unit with a restructuring
of the Philadelphia plant and a revised business plan for growth. Management is
going forward with a full retail rollout of Pak-It products. The company engaged
Western Creative Inc. on January 12, 2010 to assist in planning and marketing
the retail launch. In anticipation of increased demand for product from the
retail launch, management is also reconfiguring the plant and updating its
equipment. The Company is also establishing Canadian manufacturing and
distributing operations in its Niagara Falls location.
JBI continues
to maintain its data recovery and migration business through the use of its tape
drives. It currently has a mobile data container that can be deployed
to migrate data onsite for customers with highly sensitive data. It acquired
tape drives, servers, and the mobile data container through the acquisition of
certain assets from John Bordynuik Inc. The Company has a large
backlog of tapes to be migrated and is seeking strategic partnerships with
international companies that will allow the Company to realize tape revenues
faster, thereby decreasing the backlog.
Industry
Overview
Data
Migration
Presently,
competitors use off-the-shelf hardware which has limited capabilities to read
old computer backup tapes. The Company has acquired customized
hardware that is specifically designed to read old tapes with bit-level
mechanical validation. The Company has been in discussion with many
potential clients and they are unable to read their old backup tapes with legacy
original hardware.
Plastic2Oil
Current
processes used in the industry require excessive amounts of energy which often
make alternative fuels not viable. Other plastic to fuel producers and
biofacilities will have difficulty because their energy conversion costs exceed
the value of the diesel product they produce.
In
particular these producers have the following challenges:
▪
|
High-energy
requirements;
|
▪
|
Very
poor energy return;
|
12
▪
|
As
oil prices rise, biodiesel won't necessarily become more
viable;
|
▪
|
Large
biodiesel plants incur high transportation costs of raw and processed
materials;
|
▪
|
Algae
biodiesel presently costs $32/gallon to
produce;
|
▪
|
Biodiesel
factories are heavily dependent on commodity prices of raw materials and
energy prices;
|
Management
intends to exploit its technology to overcome the challenges facing
alternative energy corporations.

Revenues
For the
three months ended September 30, 2009, we generated $3,819,656 revenues,
and incurred a net loss of $46,790 compared with revenues of $3,699,759 and a
net loss of $24,806 for the three months ended September 30,
2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we generated
$10,132,399 revenues, and incurred a net profit of $149,701 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009.
A
significant amount of our working capital is being invested in our Plastic2Oil
operations. Plastic2Oil sales will be dependent on our ability locate
sites, purchase and assemble processing units and receive governmental permits
at each site. Revenues will depend upon the volume and price of the
fuel we sell in the future. The selling prices that we realize in the
future for our fuel will be closely linked to the market prices of
petroleum-based diesel fuel, the supply and demand of diesel fuel, as well as
the tax incentives offered by governments in North America for the production of
alternative fuels.
Our gross
margin in this division is driven by the cost of the feedstock (plastic waste)
and other chemical inputs used in our production of fuel. We expect
to receive feedstock and other inputs both on the spot market and pursuant to
fixed, short-term supply agreements. There may be a cost to receive
feedstock.
Our
profit margins and financial condition are significantly affected by the cost
and supply of raw plastic waste feedstock and other inputs in the commodity
markets.
Profits
will also be affected by the success of the Pak-It retail rollout and the volume
of tapes shipped by major customers such as NASA.
In its
early formation stages, the Company raised $105,500 through private sales of our
common equity. Additionally, a shareholder (a prior Officer and
Director) advanced $141,600. In May 2006, we issued 5,750,000 shares of our
common stock to Nicole Wright, an officer and director, in exchange for cash in
the amount of $20,000 and on March 2, 2006 we issued 350,000 shares of our
common stock to Nevada Business Development Corporation for services in the
amount of $350. Additionally, in August and September 2006, we sold an aggregate
of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to 26 unrelated third parties for cash
proceeds of $90,000.
On
January 14, 2010, JBI, Inc., (the “Company”) consummated a confidential private
placement (the “Private Offering”) with certain accredited investors for the
issuance and sale of 8,260,842 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par
value per share (the “Common Stock”) at per share price of $0.80 for aggregate
offering proceeds of $6,608,673. The Private Offering was conducted
in connection with the acquisition of Pak-It, LLC, a Florida limited liability
company (“Pak-It”), by the Company.
The
Private Offering was conducted by the Company’s officers, directors and
consultants on a best efforts basis. The minimum investment amount was $10,000.
The gross proceeds received by the Company were $6,608,673.
In
connection with the acquisition of Pak-It, and through the Private Offering the
Company also converted $2,736,000 of debt owed to the Pak-It members at a per
share price of $0.80. The Company issued 3,420,000 shares of common
stock in conjunction with this debt conversion.
13
Additionally
the Company paid an aggregate cash amount of $1,768,353 for debt owed to the
Pak-It members and lien holders.
The
Company also paid off the debt and founder loans of its subsidiary Javaco, Inc.,
in an amount totaling $397,644.44 from the proceeds of the Private
Offering.
As a
result of this offering, as of January 22, 2010, JBI, Inc. has $3,751,540.84 USD
in cash to execute its business plan and the Company has no debt except normal
recurring accounts payable and accruals.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We
prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these
financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management
periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its
estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or
conditions.
Stock Based
Compensation
In
December 2004, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123(R)")
that requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to
be recognized in the statement of operations. With limited exceptions, the
amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value
of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards
will be re-measured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized
over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award.
SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123 and is effective as of the beginning of
January 1, 2006. Based on the number of shares and awards outstanding as of
December 31, 2005 (and without giving effect to any awards which may be granted
in 2006), we do not expect our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in January 2006 to
have a material impact on the financial statements.
FSP FAS
123(R)-5 was issued on October 10, 2006. The FSP provides that instruments that
were originally issued as employee compensation and then modified, and that
modification is made to the terms of the instrument solely to reflect an equity
restructuring that occurs when the holders are no longer employees, then no
change in the recognition or the measurement (due to a change in classification)
of those instruments will result if both of the following conditions are met:
(a). There is no increase in fair value of the award (or the ratio of intrinsic
value to the exercise price of the award is preserved, that is, the holder is
made whole), or the anti-dilution provision is not added to the terms of the
award in contemplation of an equity restructuring; and (b). All holders of the
same class of equity instruments (for example, stock options) are treated in the
same manner. The provisions in this FSP shall be applied in the first reporting
period beginning after the date the FSP is posted to the FASB website. The
Company has adopted SP FAS 123(R)-5 but it did not have a material impact on its
consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Accounting Policies and
Estimates
The
preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to
make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically
evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and
judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions. As such, in
accordance with the use of accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, our actual realized results may differ from
management’s initial estimates as reported. A summary of significant
accounting policies are detailed in notes to the financial statements which are
an integral component of this filing.

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
Common
Stock
We are
authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per
share. As of the date hereof, 47,701,056 common shares are issued and
outstanding. The total shares issued and outstanding reflects the pending
cancellation of 21,000,000 shares by our Chief Executive Officer and the
issuance of 11,680,842 shares sold in our recently completed private offering.
The cancellation and issuance of common shares has not been completed by our
transfer agent as of the date hereof.
Holders
of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters
submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have
cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the
shares of common stock voting for the election of directors cannot necessarily
elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority
of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at
any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our
outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate
changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of
Incorporation.
Holders
of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of
directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the
event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles
its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of
liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having
preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no
pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions
applicable to our common stock.
17
Preferred
Stock
We are
authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per
share. As of the date hereof, 1,000,000 Series A Super Voting
Preferred Shares are issued and outstanding. Holders of the Series A Super
Voting Preferred Shares have one hundred (100) times the number of votes that
holders of common stock are entitled to on all matters submitted to shareholders
for their action or consideration.
Subject
to the approval of the then current shareholders, the Board of Directors is
empowered to designate and issue from time to time one or more classes or series
of Preferred Stock and to fix and determine the relative rights, preferences,
designations, qualifications, privileges, options, conversion rights,
limitations and other special or relative rights of each such class or series so
authorized. If approved by the shareholders, such action could adversely affect
the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Company’s capital shares
or could have the effect of discouraging or making difficult any attempt by a
person or group to obtain control of the Company.
Dividend
Policy
It is
unlikely that we will declare or pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We intend to retain earnings, if any, to expand our operations.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities
Pursuant
to the Agreement, we issued 809,593 shares of our Common Stock to John
Bordynuik, Inc. in exchange for certain assets as described in the asset
purchase agreement filed as exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K.
On
January 14, 2010, JBI, Inc., (the “Company”) consummated a confidential private
placement (the “Private Offering”) with certain accredited investors for the
issuance and sale of 8,260,842 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par
value per share (the “Common Stock”) at per share price of $0.80 for aggregate
offering proceeds of $6,608,673. The Private Offering was conducted
in connection with the acquisition of Pak-It, LLC, a Florida limited liability
company (“Pak-It”), by the Company.
The
Private Offering was conducted by the Company’s officers, directors and
consultants on a best efforts basis. The minimum investment amount was $10,000.
The gross proceeds received by the Company was $6,608,673.
In
connection with the acquisition of Pak-It, and through the Private Offering, the
Company also converted $2,736,000 of debt owed to the Pak-It members at a per
share price of $0.80. The Company issued 3,420,000 shares of common
stock in conjunction with this debt conversion.
Additionally
the Company paid an aggregate cash amount of $1,768,353 for debt owed to the
Pak-It members and lien holders.
The
Company also paid off the debt and founder loans of its subsidiary Javaco, Inc.,
in an amount totaling $397,644.44 from the proceeds of the Private
Offering.
As a
result of this offering, as of January 22, 2010, JBI, Inc. has $3,751,540.84 USD
in cash to execute its business plan and the Company has no debt except normal
recurring accounts payable and accruals.
Such
securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The
issuance of these shares was exempt from registration, pursuant to Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities qualified for
exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance
securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a
“public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of
persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and
number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold
a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these
shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2)
since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating
that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities
Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately
redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.”
Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to
qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this
transaction.

Item
5.06 Change in Shell Company Status
As
explained more fully in item 2.01 above, we were a “shell company” (as such term
is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
immediately before the Closing of this transaction. As a result of the Asset
Agreement, JBI became our main operating business. Consequently, we believe that
this has caused us to cease to be a shell company. For information about the
Asset Agreement, please see information set forth above under Item 2.01 of this
Current Report on Form 8-K which information is incorporated herein by
reference.
