NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2014
(UNAUDITED)
1. BUSINESS
The Company is primarily engaged in the marketing of polymer and other soil
amendments to the agricultural turf and horticulture industries. The Company's
products are used to decrease water usage, increase nutrient retention in soil,
enhance seed germination and sprout emergence, clarify ponds and increase the
effectiveness of chemical fertilizers and biological additives. In 2006, the
Company acquired Smart World Organics ("Smart World") and a patent to a slow
release fertilizer. The Company also has exclusive license rights to the use of
patented polymer application techniques, as well as numerous patents on a unique
machine designed to inject polymer and other liquid products into existing turf
and some crops.
2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLAN
The Company has sustained significant losses and has an accumulated deficit of
$28,914,963 and negative working capital of $7,633,223 as of June 30, 2014. The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon
obtaining additional capital and financing, and ultimately generating positive
cash flows from operations. Management intends to seek additional capital either
through debt or equity offerings. Due to the current economic environment and
the Company's current financial condition, management cannot be assured there
will be adequate capital available when needed and on acceptable terms. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying
amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should
the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Notes to the
consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the
disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent
fiscal year 2013 as reported in the Company's Form 10-K have been omitted. The
results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2014
and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements
include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to
present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash
flows. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes which are part of the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013.
6
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. The Company's significant estimates made in connection
with the preparation of the accompanying financial statements include the
valuation of inventories and carrying value of the intangible assets.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Accounts receivable from individual customers representing 10% or more of the
net accounts receivable balance consists of the following as of June 30:
2014 2013
---- ----
Percent of accounts 100% 100%
Number of customers 1 2
Sales from individual customers representing 10% or more of sales consist of the
following customers for the three months ended June 30:
2014 2013
---- ----
Percent of sales 100% 98%
Number of customers 1 3
Sales from individual customers representing 10% or more of sales consist of the
following customers for the nine months ended June 30:
2014 2013
---- ----
Percent of sales 95% 97%
Number of customers 1 3
As a result of the Company's concentration of its customer base, the loss or
cancellation of business from, or significant changes in scheduled deliveries of
product sold to the above customers or a change in their financial position
could materially and adversely affect the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net
income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution to basic net income
(loss) per share that could occur upon conversion or exercise of securities,
7
options or other such items to common shares using the treasury stock method,
based upon the weighted average fair value of our common shares during the
period. Series A convertible preferred stock totaling 2,763,699 shares have been
included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the nine
months ended June 30, 2014.
The following is a summary of outstanding securities which have been excluded
from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have
been antidilutive for the three and nine months ended June 30, except as noted
above:
2014 2013
--------- ---------
Series A convertible preferred stock 2,763,699 2,763,699
========= =========
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issues Accounting Standards Updates
("ASUs") to amend the authoritative literature in Accounting Standards
Codification ("ASC"). There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the
original text of ASC. The Company believes those issued to date either (i)
provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not
applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact
on the Company.
4. INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of the following at:

------------- ------------------
Finished goods $ 4,526 $ 4,526
-------- --------
$ 4,526 $ 4,526
======== ========
5. DEBT MITIGATION PROGRAM
The Company has significant liabilities that have been incurred due to continued
operating losses and the acquisition of Smart World in 2006. In order to attract
potential capital, the Company has conducted analysis on past due obligations to
creditors. We determined that the statute of limitations for certain of our
creditors to enforce collection of any amounts they might be owed has now
elapsed. Based on our determinations and findings, during the three months ended
March 31, 2013, we have eliminated $635,903 in creditor liabilities which were
all previously included in accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable,
and notes payable to related parties in the accompanying balance sheet.
The Company will continue to conduct this analysis going forward and eliminate
obligations when such obligations are no longer enforceable based on applicable
law.

6. ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued expenses consist of the following at:
June 30, 2014 September 30, 2013
------------- ------------------
Interest $ 344,942 $ 460,565
Interest to related parties 228,854 305,602

7. NOTES PAYABLES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company's secretary, Ms. Visco
loaned the Company an additional $5,000 for working capital. The previous note
for $948,842 was amended to increase the principal due to $953,842. The
principal is due in December 2014 and interest is payable monthly, at prime
rate. The note is currently in default for non-payment of interest.
8. COMMON STOCK
STOCK OPTIONS
As of December 31, 2012, all options expired in September and November 2012.
There were no issuances of common stock, options or warrants during the periods
presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
9. LITIGATION
On or about September 21, 2007, Stockhausen, Inc. ("Stockhausen") filed a
Complaint in the United States District Court, for the Middle District of North
Carolina, against us seeking damages. The parties entered into a settlement
agreement on June 2, 2010. Under the settlement agreement, we agreed to pay
Stockhausen $250,000 on or before June 23, 2010 as a compromise to Stockhausen's
claims that currently total $603,921. We further agreed that we would consent to
the entry of a Judgment against us in favor of Stockhausen in the amount of
$603,921 if we failed to make complete and timely payment as agreed. The company
was unable to make the agreed upon payment and on July 8, 2010 Stockhausen
entered a judgment for the above stated amount against the Company.
On or about October 4, 2007, Raymond J. Nielsen and Cheryl K. Nielsen
(collectively, "Plaintiffs"), filed a Complaint in the Circuit Court in the
Sixth Judicial District of Pasco County, Florida, against us and Smart World
(collectively "Defendants") seeking damages, declaratory, and injunctive relief.
Plaintiffs allege that Defendants failed to pay interest when due on the
Convertible Debenture from Defendants to Plaintiffs and, thus, the entire amount
of the Convertible Debenture is accelerated and Plaintiffs are seeking a
judgment in the amount of $1,500,000 plus interest. On December 29, 2009, the
matter was settled for $400,000 and the Company had 60 days in which to remit
the amount or a judgment in the entire amount claimed will be entered against
us. The Company was not able to meet the terms of the settlement and have been
actively communicating with the Plaintiffs to extend the terms of the
settlement. On February 21, 2011, we agreed to pay interest on the settlement
amount at 4% per annum.
To the best knowledge of our management, there are no other significant legal
proceedings pending against us.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this
Report.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following information contains certain forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future
events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "could,"
"expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "predict," "probable," "possible,"
"should," "continue," or similar terms, variations of those terms or the
negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the
following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of
assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable.
Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no
representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those
forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
We develop, manufacture and market cutting-edge technology that decreases the
need for water and improves the soil in the "Green Industry" consisting of
agriculture, turf and horticulture.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our selected
financial information:

NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013
REVENUES
Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 were $29,568 compared to
$55,806 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of 47%. This
decrease in revenue is a direct result of the temporary loss of sales of all but
one of our proprietary products. Lack of funds reduces are efforts in sales and
marketing.
COST OF SALES
Cost of goods sold decreased to $4,093 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014
from $22,086, for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the cost
of sales is the result of a decrease in revenue during this period. Our gross
margins were 86% and 60% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013,
respectively. The increase in our gross margins was due to an increase in the
proportion of revenues from royalties as opposed to sales of product in the
current period. Revenues associated with royalties have relatively minor costs
when compared to the costs of product sales.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses decreased 6% to $378,492 from $404,010 for the nine month
period ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
This decrease in operating expenses was a result in decreased operations. Our
general and administrative expenses decreased to $368,005 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2014 from $372,701 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 due to
the continued reduction in rent and certain administrative costs.
NET LOSS
We experienced net income from operations of $222,471 for the nine months ended
June 30, 2014 as compared to a net loss of $306,448 for the nine months ended
June 30, 2013. The net income was primarily a result of the gain realized in the
amount of $635,903 by the extinguishment of debt. As part of our debt mitigation
program, we reviewed our long outstanding liabilities for among other things,
the expiration of the Statute of Limitations for creditors to make claims on
amounts owed. The analysis was based on applicable law in the state where the
liability originated. The Company will continue to analyze past due payables in
future periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $2,929 and $3,070 at June 30, 2014 and
September 30, 2013, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was
$40,141 for the period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $70,803 during the period
ended June 30, 2013. Net cash provided by financing activities was $40,000 for
the period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $79,000 for the comparable period
ended June 30, 2013. We have historically relied upon one of our officers and
significant shareholders to provide cash to meet short term operating cash
requirements.
11
At June 30, 2014, the outstanding balance of notes payable was $2,839,427. These
convertible debentures consisted of: a) $1,500,000, 8% per annum convertible
debentures at the closing price on the day immediately preceding the day of
conversion which is currently in default and in dispute; (b) various debentures
totaling $212,561 with interest per annum from 8-10%; (c) a loan from an officer
and shareholder for $953,842 bearing interest at prime; (d) various loans from
related parties totaling $173,024 bearing interest from prime to 12%.
Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $60,415
and $78,218, respectively.
We have a working capital deficit $7,633,223 as of June 30, 2014 compared to
working capital deficit of $7,866,131 as of September 30, 2013. Our decrease in
current liabilities is directly related to a decrease in our notes payable and
accrued liabilities through our debt mitigation program.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred an
accumulated deficit of $28,914,963 and a working capital deficit of
approximately $7,633,223 as of June 30, 2014. Our ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent on obtaining additional capital and financing and operating
at a profitable level. We intend to seek additional capital either through debt
or equity offerings and to increase sales volume and operating margins to
achieve profitability. Our working capital and other capital requirements during
the next fiscal year and thereafter will vary based on the sales revenue
generated.
We will consider both the public and private sale of securities and/or debt
instruments for expansion of our operations if such expansion would benefit our
overall growth and income objectives. Should sales growth not materialize, we
may look to these public and private sources of financing. There can be no
assurance, however, that we can obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms,
if at all. Under such conditions, failure to obtain such capital likely would at
a minimum negatively impact our ability to timely meet our business objectives.
Our auditors issued an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in our most recent 10-K for
the year ended September 30, 2013.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange
Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
management recognizes that any controls and procures, no matter how well
12
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance
management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost
benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our President and Chief Financial Officer (the "Certifying Officers") is
responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and
procedures. The Certifying Officer has designed such disclosure controls and
procedures to ensure that material information is made known to him particularly
during the period in which this report was prepared. The Certifying Officer has
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and has
determined that they are effective.
There has been no other change in our internal controls over financial reporting
during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On or about September 21, 2007, Stockhausen, Inc. ("Stockhausen") filed a
Complaint in the United States District Court, for the Middle District of North
Carolina, against us seeking damages. The parties entered into a settlement
agreement on June 2, 2010. Under the settlement agreement, we agreed to pay
Stockhausen $250,000 on or before June 23, 2010 as a compromise to Stockhausen's
claims that currently total $603,921. We further agreed that we would consent to
the entry of a Judgment against us in favor of Stockhausen in the amount of
$603,921 if we failed to make complete and timely payment as agreed. The company
was unable to make the agreed upon payment, and on July 8, 2010, Stockhausen
entered a judgment for the above stated amount against the company.
On or about October 4, 2007, Raymond J. Nielsen and Cheryl K. Nielsen
(collectively, "Plaintiffs"), filed a Complaint in the Circuit Court in the
Sixth Judicial District of Pasco County, Florida, against us and Smart World
(collectively "Defendants") seeking damages, declaratory, and injunctive relief.
Plaintiffs allege that Defendants failed to pay interest when due on the
Convertible Debenture from Defendants to Plaintiffs, and, thus, the entire
amount of the Convertible Debenture is accelerated and Plaintiffs are seeking a
judgment in the amount of $1,500,000 plus interest. On March 29, 2009, the
matter was settled for $400,000 and the Company had 60 days in which to remit
the amount or a judgment in the entire amount claimed will be entered against
us. The Company was not able to meet the terms of the settlement and have been
actively communicating with the Plaintiffs to extend the terms of the
settlement.
To the best knowledge of our management, there are no other legal proceedings
pending against us.
