The root of our business is manufacturing, turning solid waste into an above ground asset, in other words all that wood, oil, aluminium, copper, iron, cotton and other materials harvested from the planet that we use in consumer items and then throw away when we are done with it can be put back into the economy using automation, robotics, AI, IoT combined with sophisticated hardware, chemical and mechanical knowhow. Our business will do this utilizing advanced sources of sustainable energy, so each plant is autonomous and becomes completely emissions free exemplifying sustainable industry. This is a big undertaking for a start up which is what we are even after existing for sixteen years. Our management discussion and analysis will reflect the capital struggle we have had to get to the point we are now.
We initially transitioned to a sustainability focus in 2008, it took us another
5 years to acquire and settle into our manufacturing role which is discussed in
our history. The total focus now of
Over the last few years, we have been able to secure the components required to
bring to fruition the important first ZEWOPtm, the feedstock (1320 metric tons
per day of MSW under a long-term contract), a suitable site (industrial land at
least 7 hectares in size, with applicable zoning and no ground contamination),
pre-sales of our products (getting commitments out of credible end users) and
financing commitments for the complete project. What we have not been able to do
yet is get the pre-development capital approximately

To fund our development stage process, we have raised our operating capital
through short-term loans and convertible notes as previously discussed and we
will have to continue this practice until we raise the next

The Company has relied on short term notes (12 months or less) with a conversion to common stock provision and offshore restricted stock sales to fund its corporate activities over the past year. This has resulted in more shareholders which creates the potential for greater liquidity going forward however it also provides greater dilution of individual holdings.
The Company has limited capability without significant assets or earnings to raise debt. The development of ZEWOPtm the core business of the Company will rely on debt markets. To attract this capital, the Company will have to secure long term waste supply contracts and long-term product sales contracts both from high credit worthy entities. The Company must agree to encumber the assets associated with each ZEWOPtm and all net revenue until the debt is retired. This arrangement will restrict the Company's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders.
Potential Acquisitions
We anticipate acquiring a 19-hectare industrial site in the
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based upon the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in
Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been made. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for the financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash deposits and highly liquid investments to be cash and cash equivalents for financial reporting presentation on the balance sheet and statement of cash flows. The Company subscribes to the accounting standards that define cash equivalents as highly liquid, short-term instruments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, which are generally defined investments that have original maturity dates of less than three months.
Contractual Obligations
We have or will have material commitments for the next twelve months that include supporting professionals (including engineers, accountants, lawyers, and auditors) and the management compensation agreements. We will require additional capital to meet our liquidity needs. As a result, our independent directors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In the past, we have relied on capital contributions from shareholders to supplement operating capital when necessary. We anticipate that we will receive sufficient contributions from shareholders to continue operations for at least the next twelve months. However, there are no agreements or understandings to this effect. We may sell common stock, take loans from officers, directors, or shareholders, or enter into debt financing agreements.
Need for Additional Financing
We estimate our upcoming operating expenses to increase substantially as we
transcend from development stage to operating stage and maybe as much as
