Item 8.01 (Other Events)

On August 2, 2012 the Company announced that it was in default under the terms of its Original Issue Senior Convertible Debentures and that it was in discussions with the Debenture Holder to address this.

On August 24, 2012 the Holder formally agreed to forebear with the default so long as the Company agreed to commence a phased realization of the assets upon which the Debentures are secured and to make payments out of the sales proceeds to the Debenture Holder to reduce the amount due under the Debentures. This forbearance will continue for so long as the Company achieves certain minimum redemption payments within an agreed timetable, which affords the Company reasonable commercial flexibility in conducting the asset sales.

The Company is continuing its advanced-stage discussions with a potential equity investor and the asset realization plans have been developed, in contemplation of that possible investment, so as to retain those assets that the Company considers to be core to its waste-to-energy business plan and which are also considered by the potential investor to be central to its investment decision.

If the Debentures are not fully redeemed by their due date (December 31, 2012) out of the proceeds of the asset realisation plan, the potential equity investment, or otherwise, any unpaid balance will start to accrue interest at 18% per annum and, unless otherwise agreed, shall be payable upon demand.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able (i) to comply with the terms upon which the forbearance has been granted and/or (ii) to raise the required funds to allow it to satisfy its outstanding obligations, including the obligations under the Debentures.

SIGNATURES
