1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2015, and for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (primarily consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2015 has been derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. To date the Company has recorded an accumulated deficit of $82,853,747 in recurring losses from operations and significant cash used in operating activities over the last two years, and is dependent upon its ability to obtain future financing and successful operations.
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to sustain our operations. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations. The Company estimates the current operational expenses of approximately three hundred thousand dollars a month is required to continue to operate. This is achieved either through profit from sales; or by management seeking additional financing through the sale of its common stock, and/or through private placements. The minimum operational expenses must be met in order to relive the threat of the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that our current operations will be profitable or that we will raise sufficient funds to continue operating. The Company continues to trim overhead expenses to meet revenues. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic loss per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding under the treasury stock method. Potential common shares at September 30, 2015 from preferred C and D shares convertible into 95.6 billion shares of common stock and convertible notes convertible into 8.6 billion shares of common stock (September 30, 2014 –1.5 billion and 35,800, respectively). Accordingly, total common share equivalents of 105.2 billion were excluded in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2015, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affects 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has determined that no new accounting pronouncements during the period that would affect the condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Balance Sheet Details
As of September 30, 2015, inventories consisted of the following:
Chemicals | $ | 101,804 | ||
Lumber | $ | 31,809 | ||
$ | 133,613 |
All of the Company’s inventories are pledged as collateral for the Company’s Senior Secured Notes (see Note 4). In addition, inventory is considered finished goods as the Company sells and markets the chemical and treatment of lumber. The chemicals and lumber include a $47,264 reserve for obsolete inventory.
7 |
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Property and equipment-related expenditures for items with useful lives exceeding one year and major renewals and improvements are recorded as assets, while replacements and maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income. Depreciation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from (3) to seven (7) years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over their useful life or the term of the related lease, whichever is shorter. Depreciation expense is not recorded on idle property and equipment until such time as it is placed into service. During the period, the Company purchased property and equipment of $176,210. Depreciation expense for the three months ending September 30, 2015 was $36,329.
Accrued Liabilities
As of September 30, 2015, the Company owed $888,145 in past due payroll taxes and accrued penalties. The Company has made an arrangement with the IRS for monthly payments for a $740,000 portion of the liability. However, the Company is in default with this agreement. These amounts are recorded within payroll and taxes payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Also at June 30, 2015, the Company owed $21,397 in past due sales tax in which it has filed the appropriate reports and is making periodic payments.
Derivative Liabilities
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued convertible preferred stock that can be converted to common stock in connection with raising equity and debt financing. As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s number of potential common shares plus the number of actual common shares outstanding (“Committed Shares”) exceeded the number of common shares authorized to issue in accordance with ASC 815-40-19 “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The number of outstanding common shares plus the potential common share liability has exceeded the amount of authorized shares, therefore the Company has to employ ASC 815-40-19 (“ASC 815”) to value common share equivalents potentially issuable to settle conversions of convertible notes, convertible preferred shares and exercise of warrants and options.
The Company values its derivative financial instruments, consisting primarily of embedded conversion features for its stock options, warrants, convertible debt, and convertible preferred stock at issuance at fair value and revalues its derivative financial instruments at the end of each reporting period or in the case of any conversion or modification of terms, at the date of any such modification or conversion. Any change in fair value is charged to earnings of the period where the derivative financial instrument is modified or converted. The fair values of the embedded conversion features for the stock options, warrants, convertible debt, and convertible preferred stock were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The ranges of inputs (or assumptions) the Company used to value the derivative liabilities at respective issuances, conversion or exercise dates, and at period end during the period ended September 30, 2015 were as follows:
(1) dividend yield of 0% |
(2) expected daily volatility of 15.77% to 34.93% |
(3) risk-free interest rate of 0.21% 1.10% |
(4) expected life of 7.5 months to 3 years, and |
(5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.0002 to $0.0021 to per share. |
For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,155 convertible preferred D series shares with a stated value of $100 per share as further described below in Note 7 for cash proceeds of $415,500 and recorded additional derivative liabilities of $699,103 for the conversion features included therein. The Preferred D shares are convertible into the Company’s common shares, at the holder’s option, at conversion prices equal to 60% of the lowest VWAP closing price for the previous 30 days.
8 |
For all convertible notes described in the following paragraphs and for the options, warrants, and convertible preferred Series C and Series D shares described in Note 7, the fair value of the resulting derivative liability was $20,989,224 and $14,198,848 as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015 and, respectively.
A reconciliation of the derivative liabilities from June 30, 2015 to September 30, 2015 is:

Convertible Notes Payable
Inventory Note Payable - $833,333
On September 16, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Dominion Capital, LLC, whereby Dominion agreed to fund the Company with an aggregate of up to $750,000 in Subscription Amount corresponding to an aggregate of up to $833,333 in the form of a 10% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note due September 16, 2015 and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for up to 20,000,000 shares. This funding will be used exclusively to purchase lumber and chemicals and is to be dispersed from an escrow account. On September 29, 2014, Dominion transferred and assigned the Note and the Warrant to M2B Funding Corporation. The Note has a fixed conversion price of $0.20 subject to certain adjustments. The Company is scheduled to repay the Note in monthly installments, the final payment was due on October 16, 2015. The Company is in default on this note. The Company plans on using the receivables from the sale of lumber and chemicals to comply with the terms of the repayment schedule. In the event of default, the Note is subject to an increase in the interest rate to eighteen percent (18%) per annum. In accordance with the Agreement, the Company issued a Common stock Purchase Warrant, allowing M2B Funding Corporation the right to purchase up to 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock on September 16, 2015 and expiring on September 16, 2019. The Company purchased all of the 20,000,000 available warrants under this agreement. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant is $0.02 subject to certain adjustments. The Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part, at such time by means of a cashless exercise (see Note 7). The Common Shares cannot be sold and or assigned for a period of one year from the original Warrant issue date. The Company initially recorded discounts totaling $1,001,326 representing the fair value of the warrants issued. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 the Company amortized the remaining discount balance of $230,905. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 this investor converted $26,304 into 59,767,042 shares of common stock. The balance of this note at September 30, 2015 is $954,475, inclusive of original issue discount of $76,515. Accrued interest at September 30, 2015 is $193,554.

5. Related Party Transactions
See Note 4 for Loans payable – related parties and equity issuances in Note 7.
6. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market, in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Further, entities are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value, and to utilize a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Application of Valuation Hierarchy
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodology used to measure fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
13 |
Notes Payable – Related Party. The Company assessed that the fair value of this liability to approximate its carrying value based on the effective yields of similar obligations.
Convertible Notes Payable. The Company assessed that the fair value of this liability approximates its carrying value due to its short-term nature.
Loans Payable - Related Party. The Company assessed that the fair value of this liability approximates its carrying value due to its short-term nature.
Loans Payable - Other. The Company assessed that the fair value of this liability approximates its carrying value due to its short-term nature.
Derivative Liabilities. The Company assessed that the fair value of these liabilities using observable inputs described in level 2 above. The methodology described above may produce a current fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. If readily determined market values became available or if actual performance were to vary appreciably from assumptions used, assumptions may need to be adjusted, which could result in material differences from the recorded carrying amounts. The Company believes its method of determining fair value is appropriate and consistent with other market participants. However, the use of different methodologies or different assumptions to value certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value

All parties agree that the original agreement referenced hereto and the modifications as defined in this Amendment are in good standing.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following management's discussion and analysis should be read in connection with the information presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included in this report and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended June 30, 2015 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on November 6, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements concerning our plans and intentions included herein may constitute forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors that may affect our future results, including, but not limited to, (a) our ability to obtain additional funding for operations, (b) the continued availability of management to develop the business plan and (c) continued cease of the labor portion of our business with E Build & Truss and focus on ramping the supply side which yields higher profits (d) successful development and market acceptance of our products.
This quarterly report may contain both historical facts and forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those mentioned above. Moreover, future revenue and margin trends cannot be reliably predicted.
Overview
Eco Building Products, Inc., or "ECOB", has developed a line of eco-friendly protective wood coatings, Eco Red Shield TM and Eco Clear Shield TM , that extend the lifecycle of framing lumber and other wood products used in the construction of single-family homes and multi-story buildings. The Company has expanded its’ product offering to include Eco Fire Break TM , Eco Disaster Break TM , Eco Armor Paint TM , Eco D-Fence TM , Eco Disaster Cleaner TM , Eco Flood Caulk TM , Eco Trim TM , and Eco Christmas Tree Protection TM .
Eco Building Products wood coatings are topically applied to a wide range of lumber products providing protection from mold, mildew, fungus, decay, wood rot, wood ingesting insects, including Formosan termites. Eco Red Shield™ also serves as a fire inhibitor; significantly increasing treated lumber’s resistance to fire, by way of decreasing the smoke (fire gases) index, slowing ignition time and flame spread.
The ECOB system of coatings is eco-friendly and remains chemically stable over time. The coatings emit virtually zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), do not leech heavy metals or toxins into groundwater, and do not allow for the growth and propagation of various molds on the cured film surface, that have the potential to contaminate occupant indoor air quality. More importantly, ECOB coatings prevent the degradation of structural lumber that potentially requires existing homes to be periodically renovated resultant of rot and/or insect damage, thereby indirectly preserving our forests.
20 |
In 2015, the Company changed its business model to focus on coating services only and chemical sales. The Company no longer purchases lumber for coating and resells the treated lumber. Customers have their lumber shipped to one of three facilities: (i) Fair Lawn, New Jersey, (ii) Tacoma, Washington; or (iii) Augusta, Georgia. These sites were selected for geographical efficiency, reducing shipping costs as well as, the types of lumber used in different areas of the country.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We consider our accounting policies related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, goodwill and purchased-intangible assets and accounting for income taxes to be critical accounting policies. A number of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments are inherent in our determination of when to recognize revenue, how to estimate the best evidence of selling price for revenue recognition, the calculation of stock-based compensation expense, evaluation of the potential impairment of goodwill and purchased-intangible assets and the income tax related balances. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Fair Value Policy
Management believes there have been no significant changes during the three months ended September 30, 2015 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For a description of those accounting policies, please refer to our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. To date the Company has generated minimal operating revenues, losses from operations, significant cash used in operating activities, and is dependent upon its ability to obtain future financing and successful operations.
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to sustain our operations. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations. The Company estimates the current operational expenses of approximately three hundred thousand dollars a month is required to continue to operate. This is achieved either through profit from sales; or by management seeking additional financing through the sale of its common stock, and/or through private placements the minimum operational expenses must be met in order to relive the threat of the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that our current operations will be profitable or we will raise sufficient funds to continue operating. The Company continues to trim overhead expenses to meet revenues. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014
Revenues - For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we had total revenues of $275,571 of which $165,111 was to one customer, as compared to $803,759 in revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in revenue is mainly attributed to the loss of a large, unprofitable customer and the discontinuance of lumber sales as a product line.
Cost of Sales and Gross Loss-The gross loss for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was $103,840 and $177,838, respectively. The gross loss for both years can be attributed to pricing products below cost, production worker over-staffing, plant consolidation and closing costs and excess capacity in all of our production facilities
Operating Expenses - For the three months ended September 30, 2015, our total operating expenses were $520,851. This is compared to $950,876 for the three months period ended September 30, 2014. Included in our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were compensation and related costs of $110,361. Professional fees included in our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 amounted to $129,575. Other significant operating costs we incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2015 included marketing of $31,924, research and development of $79,973, and other general and administrative costs of $148,255. Our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 consisted of $543,669 of compensation and related costs, $184,531 of professional and consulting fees, $34,198 of research and development expense, $29,724 of marketing expense, and $112,047 of other general and administrative expenses. The significant reduction in expenses year over year can be attributed to a reduction in head count and other expense reductions by the new management.
Other Income and Expenses - For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we had other expenses that included interest expense of $434,091. We incurred $6,634,847 for the loss on derivative of our convertible notes payable and convertible Preferred C stock, significantly due to the conversion to common shares and the decrease in the stock price from $.002 as of June 30, 2015 to $0.0002 as of September 30, 2015. This is compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, in which our other income and expenses included interest expense of $1,026,458 and gain on derivative liability of $5,062,206.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On September 30, 2015, we had $188,846 in cash on hand. During the three months ended Septmber 30, 2015, net cash used in our operating activities amounted to$473,530. Net cash used during the same period for our investing activities totaled $176,209. During the same period, we received proceeds resulting in net cash from financing activities of $798,279 of which $415,500.
The following table sets forth selected cash flow information for the year ended September 30, 2015:
Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (473,530 | ) | |
Net cash used in investing activities | (176,209 | ) | ||
Net cash provided by financing activities | 798,279 | |||
Net change in cash | $ | 148,540 |
If current and projected revenue growth does not meet management estimates or alternative business such as the move away from The Home Depot and increase in our CSO business and/or proceeds received from future financing are insufficient, we may choose to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity transactions, reduce certain overhead costs through the deferral of salaries and other means, and settle liabilities through negotiation. Currently, we do not have any commitments or assurances for additional capital, nor can we provide assurance that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If, after utilizing the existing sources of capital available to us, further capital needs are identified and we are not successful in obtaining the financing, we may be forced to curtail our existing or planned future operations.
22 |
We may continue to incur operating losses over the next three months. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in our stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, continue to grow our customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special purpose entities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
The Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2015, the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below:
1. | Up until June 15, 2015, the Company’s board of directors did not have an audit committee, independent director or member with financial expertise which causes ineffective oversight of the Company’s external financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting. |
2. | The Company does not have sufficient segregation of duties within its accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to its size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. |
3. | Manual process of the tracking and process of our inventory. |
23 |
In light of the material weaknesses, the management of the Company performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, we believe that our consolidated financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations and cash flows as of and for the reporting periods then ended.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
We intend to remediate the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures identified above. We have already adopted an Audit Committee Charter and appointed independent members from our Board to an Audit Committee and our Chairman of the Audit Committee has sufficient financial expertise. In addition, we have hired a part-time CFO with SEC reporting experience.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
24 |
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only the management's report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
We have hired a part-time Chief Financial Officer and appointed independent members to our Board of Directors to oversee the financial reporting of our operations. Other than these two items, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Except as disclosed below, we are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our company’s or our company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
On June 4, 2013, Trical Construction, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company in Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. The nature of the litigation involved Trical’s claim that it suffered various construction delays and other damages from Eco Building Products in connection with the construction of a 77 unit apartment building. The matter was ultimately resolved by settlement on August 1, 2014 in the amount of $180,564.50, with payment of $30,000.00 by Eco Building Products to Trical on that date and scheduled payments of $10,000 each month beginning on November 1, 2014 through February 1, 2016. This was amended on April 15, 2015, extending payments to October 2016 and reducing the payment amount to $2,500 per month. The balance on this settlement is $123,065 at September 30, 2015 and no payments have been made since June 15, 2015. The Company is in default on this settlement agreement.
At September 30, 2015, the Company owed approximately $730,000 in past due federal and state payroll taxes, of which approximately $660,000 is due to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Company subsequently paid $25,000 to the IRS under a $20,000 per month payment arrangement which the Company is in default. The Company is currently is in negotiations with the IRS to re-establish a payment plan for past due taxes. No such arrangement exists for State tax purposes.
On October 6, 2015, the landlord for the Vista, CA location filed a complaint against us in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego for a Breach of Contract for a Promissory Note that we issued to him in connection with unpaid lease payments that we owed in the amount of $151,273 under the terms of the lease that we entered into for our Vista, CA location.
The Company is a co-defendant in a legal action filed October 22, 2015 for past-due fees for professional services in the amount of $194,569. Due to the early stage of this suit, the outcome cannot be determined at this time.
