NANO CHEMICAL SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2006

NOTE 1 – Organization, History and Business Activity

General

Nano Chemical Systems Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on July 30, 1999 under the name “Heritage Scholastic Corporation.” Prior to conducting its current operations, the Company was engaged in the business of publishing and distributing supplemental history textbooks for grades K through 12. However, on January 27, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) between Heritage Scholastic Corporation, Nano Chemical Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“NCS”), and the shareholders of NCS, Heritage Scholastic Corporation issued 36,000,000 shares of its issued and outstanding stock to the shareholders of NCS in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of NCS.

As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, NCS became a wholly owned subsidiary of Heritage Scholastic Corporation. In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, on February 15, 2005, Heritage Scholastic Corporation changed its name from Heritage Scholastic Corporation to Nano Chemical Systems Holdings, Inc. (hereinafter the “Company”).

The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001, with 52,049,491 shares issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2006. In addition, the Company has authorized 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.001, none of which is issued or outstanding. Rights of preferred stock will be defined before or when issuance on such stock occurs.

Refer to the Note for “Related Party Transactions” for significant ownership and control, and to Note for “Financial Condition and Going Concern” as to the change in management.

ACQUISITION OF ASSETS AND OPERATIONS OF GREENTREE SPRAY TECHNOLOGIES, LLC

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between the Company and GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GreenTree”) hereinafter referred to as the “GreenTree Asset Purchase Agreement,” or the “GreenTree Agreement”, the Company purchased the manufacturing assets, technical know-how, proprietary chemical formulae, and other assets and forward going operations of GreenTree in exchange for 32,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock and a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,333,000 (the “GreenTree Note”). The GreenTree Note requires quarterly interest accrued at 8% per annum with a final balloon payment equal to all remaining outstanding principal and interest due on March 31, 2007. Certain assets of the Company secure the GreenTree Note. The GreenTree Asset Purchase Agreement took effect over two phases. The first phase encompassed approximately 75% of the assets and operations on March 15, 2005, and the second phase brought in the balance of the assets and operations on June 30, 2005.

This agreement brought about a merger referred to as a “reverse acquisition” as discussed further in this footnote. For purposes of simplicity, the entire acquisition is recognized as of March 31, 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2006

Refer also to other Notes discussing this purchase from GreenTree Agreement.

Financial reporting of Company treated as a “reverse acquisition”

The Subsidiary, Nano Chemical Systems, Inc., owns two patent applications it acquired for a value of $50,000. The Company is seeking funding to develop these patents, while at present it has no operations. The rest of the Company and its operations are operated under the Company and come from the GreenTree Asset Agreement.

Pursuant to the GreenTree Agreement, all GreenTree assets were transferred into the Company in two steps, the first on March 15, 2005 and the second on June 30, 2005. The owner of GreenTree took control and owns the majority of stock in the Company. Prior to the Agreement, the Company had assets in the form of two patent applications valued at $50,000 but no operations. GreenTree has assets and on going operations.

The GreenTree Agreement constitutes a “reverse acquisition.” Accordingly, the prior financial history of the Company drops out and the financial history of GreenTree steps into its place, even though the Company survives the merger.

In August 2003, Marc Mathys (owner of GreenTree) purchased the assets of the then recently closed aerosol plant and operations of GreenTree Chemical Technologies, Inc., a division of an unrelated company, located in Seaford, Delaware. He reopened the plant in the same location and reestablished the manufacturing of canned aerosol products. On March 21, 2005, a Delaware limited liability company (LLC) was organized under the name of GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC (“GreenTree”) and is owned 100% by Marc Mathys. It holds the secured promissory note the Company owes of $1,333,000.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

(b) – Income Taxes

The Company has adopted the provisions of statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which incorporates the use of the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of

temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Due to the GreenTree Agreement, the Company underwent an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Refer to the Note on “GreenTree Agreement.” Of the $1,685,000 accumulated losses of the Company, only $450,000 is available to the Company as a net operating loss carry forward useable through June 30, 2026. No income tax benefit is recognized in the financial statements, as it is not known whether such losses will be applied in the future.

NOTE 3 – Financial Condition and Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The operations of the Company since inception (September 1, 2003) have sustained continued operating losses. In the event the Company is unable to raise sufficient operating capital, the aforementioned conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the occurrence of such conditions and have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

Since June 30, 2005, the Company has appointed James Ray as the new Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Marc Mathys has resigned as a member of the Board of Directors. Under the direction of James Ray, new management has concluded that a more effective marketing approach is needed to increase the operations and to turn the Company into a profitable operation. The Company plans to begin efforts to develop a marketing arm for the Company once additional funding is obtained. The plant can handle much more volume in its existing plant configuration.

The Company continues working on raising capital funds that management anticipates will sustain the operations of the Company and provides the means for the Company to turn its operations into a profitable situation.

NOTE 4 - GreenTree Agreement

On or about March 15, 2005 a Form 8-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosing the GreenTree Agreement and that the first phase had taken place and that the second phase would take place on or before June 30, 2005. The second phase took place on June 30, 2005. Under the GreenTree Agreement, the Company ultimately acquires all of the assets, proprietary chemical formulations, know how, intellectual property, goodwill, and operations going forward, of GreenTree. The Company’s results of operations as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 recognize the entire operations of GreenTree.

On March 15, 2005, the Company and GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC (“GreenTree”), owned 100% by Marc Mathys, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“GreenTree Agreement”) buying approximately 75% of all of the assets and ongoing operations of GreenTree in exchange for a $1,000,000 promissory note bearing 8% accrued interest with the entire amount due on March 31, 2007 and for 24,000,000 newly issued restricted shares of common stock of the Company valued at $100,000. On June 30, 2005, the remaining balance of the assets and ongoing

MARCH 31, 2006

operations completed the asset purchase in exchange for an additional $330,000 promissory note and 8,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $33,333. This totals $1,333,000 for the note payable to GreenTree, as a related party, and $133,333 for the fair value of the stock issued. The debt obligation is secured by the assets transferred, or its equivalent thereafter, as outlined in the Security Agreement. The Company has not made the required quarterly interest payments under the GreenTree Note, and therefore, is currently in default under the GreenTree Note. Currently, $79,819 in accrued interest is payable and is included as part of the $303,310 Due to Related Parties on the Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2006.

The excess paid over the recorded value of the assets, including the $133,333 fair value for the common stock issued, is considered intangible assets, including goodwill. However, in a “reverse acquisition,” the excess rather than recognize it as “intangible assets” is recognized as an offset in equity. This is as per the guidelines set forth by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In dealing with “reverse acquisitions,” the Staff of the SEC takes the position that a “reverse acquisition” is a restructuring of the ownership and equity of the Company, not a purchase, and therefore, it does not fall under the guidelines of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“FASB 141”). FASB 141 recognizes an asset purchase as a business combination and requires an entity to record the asset purchase as a purchase, wherein the Company then assigns the fair value as the amount to record the value of assets on the financial statements at the point of purchase. Consequently, FASB 141, which would recognize goodwill and intangibles, does not get recognized in this form of an asset purchase under the guidelines of the Staff of the SEC. These financial statements follow the guidelines of the Staff of the SEC.

NOTE 5 - GreenTree Initial Asset Value & its Affect on the Financial Statements

Marc Mathys purchased the assets of GreenTree from an unrelated third party company effective September 1, 2003 for $300,000 plus additional amounts he had to pay over the next few months to keep selected vendors supplying raw materials and selected other creditors to continue providing needed services and facilities. This increased his actual purchase price to approximately $365,000. He did not buy the predecessor’s company nor assume their position. Rather, he acquired it as an asset purchase. He did buy and use the predecessor’s computer software and accounting system that has remained in place to do the accounting even as of March 31, 2006.

When GreenTree was originally acquired the assets of the predecessor company, effective September 1, 2003, by Marc Mathys, the assets were recorded at the value as carried on the predecessor company’s records. As this was at the predecessor’s cost, or what was thought at the time to be the estimated market value on the date of purchase by Marc Mathys, then this accounting treatment approximated fair value at the date of purchase. This does not conform to the accounting requirements as promulgated by FASB No. 141, effective after June 30, 2001, which requires virtually all business combinations be accounted for based on the values exchanged; i.e., the purchase method of accounting (recording what you paid for the assets, not what they may be worth).

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2006

GreenTree recorded its assets at the value as carried on the predecessor company’s records, which approximated $1,100,000, or approximately $735,000 more than cost. The Company in developing the financial statements concluded that the spirit of FASB No. 141 is best served to have comparable statements of operations at the sacrifice of using the purchase method of accounting. So, rather than recognize a “built in gain” in the statement of operations, this difference of approximately $735,000 has been removed from the statement of operations and instead placed in the balance sheet as part of “Owner’s Capital Pre Merger” as recognized on the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. Management is of the opinion that the accounting treatment reporting the assets at the predecessor’s cost more uniformly recognizes revenues and expenses in a more consistent light than if the purchase method of accounting had been used. The method used more clearly reflects the results of operations for each year ending June 30, 2004 and 2005 and each corresponding quarter therein, thus allowing one to more clearly see the results of operations in a consistent and more meaningful manner than would otherwise be reported. It also reflects more clearly the overall results of operations and asset values on a consistent basis, taking into consideration the required method of accounting to recognize the asset purchase of the assets from GreenTree by the Company on March 15, 2005 and completed on June 30, 2005 as discussed in the prior Note “GreenTree Agreement.”

The only difference in comparing the assets from September 1, 2003 (date of inception), which is not using the purchase price, and as recognized as of June 30, 2005, which uses the purchase price, is the values assigned to property and equipment. The Company has elected accelerated depreciation methods to more quickly bring the two methods into compliance with each other. Management estimates that the net asset value of property and equipment at March 31, 2006 is approximately $75,000 greater using the predecessor’s basis over what the purchase method of accounting would reflect. All other assets as of March 31, 2006 are at cost, as the flow through of the costs established at September 1, 2003 have long since passed through the accounting in the financial statements. Again, these “built in gains, “ or differences, are not recognized in the statements of operations, but rather are recognized in one step in the statement of stockholders’ equity as part of the initial balance of “Owner’s Capital Pre Merger,” except for the additional depreciation expense recognized through the statement of operations of approximately $66,700 for the ten months ended June 30, 2004 and of approximately $67,100 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, and of approximately $52,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006.

NOTE 6 – Related Parties

As of March 31, 2006, four shareholders own the controlling interest in the Company, namely:

 

Marc Mathys

   32,000,000 shares, or 61.5% interest

Treya, Inc.

   8,000,000 shares, or 15.4% interest

Katrina Cleburn

   4,000,000 shares, or 7.7% interest

As of March 31, 2006, one individual not listed above controls approximately 5,300,000 stock options he can exercise at $0.10 per share. As of May 8, 2006, he has exercised none of the stock options. A dispute has arisen concerning the viability and transferability of the stock options as well as the number of stock options available. The parties have requested a legal opinion from the Company attorney to help resolve this matter. This matter remains unresolved.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2006

Marc Mathys and his related companies (GreenTree LLC and Harvard Chemical) combined are owed by the Company at least $1,333,000 plus accrued interest at 8% since around March 15, 2005. Refer to Note on “Contingent Liability Regarding GreenTree Agreement” for further explanation regarding this matter.

The $1,333,000 note payable plus accrued interest is due March 31, 2007. The $1,333,000 note amount is reported as a long-term debt even though it is due one year from March 31, 2006. Management is of the opinion that for the time being it should remain reporting as a long-term debt rather than as a current liability because there remains an unresolved dispute between the Company and the related party creditor. The resolution of this dispute most likely will alter the terms and amount of the note to a more favorable position for the Company. In addition, the note payable, in Management’s opinion, does not adequately address what happens in the event the note goes into default or is not paid off when due. The note holder has resigned from management as an officer and as a director of the Company and presently does not participate in the operations and activities of the Company.

NOTE 7 – Contingent Liabilities Regarding GreenTree Agreement

In the GreenTree Agreement, the Management takes the position that the Company assumes no liabilities, both known and unknown. Marc Mathys, who has since resigned as an officer and director of the Company even though he remain as the majority shareholder, disagrees and also indicates the receivables did not go to the Company. Legal counsel is being sought to resolve the issue, which remains unresolved as of May 9, 2006.

As of March 31, 2006, the Company has recognized some liabilities it claims it does not owe as well as the receivables Marc Mathys claims are not the Company’s, the net of which approximates $680,000 liabilities over what management believes the GreenTree Agreement states. In contrast, Marc Mathys believes the GreenTree Agreement requires the Company to assume approximately $578,000 more in liabilities over what is recognized in the financial statements as of June 30, 2005 as well as in these financial statements as of March 31, 2006.

Management and Marc Mathys continue negotiating how to resolve these matters. Management is of the opinion that the Company is presently recognizing in these financial statements the maximum it will ultimately owe Marc Mathys and his entities.

GreenTree has not paid Tech Spray, L.P., a supplier, for $226,000 in raw material product purchased the end of June 2005. The vendor filed a complaint in Delaware seeking collection against GreenTree as well as Marc Mathys personally. GreenTree claims the debt is owed by the Company, while the Company claims it is owed by Marc Mathys, d.b.a. GreenTree. Both GreenTree and the Company acknowledge the money is owed; each claiming it is the responsibility of the other. The entire amount due is recognized as part of the accounts payable by the Company and is part of the $680,000 the Company believes is not its responsibility to pay.

In conjunction with pending legal matters, the Company could be indirectly held obligated to pay two legal proceedings regarding the GreenTree operations prior to the Company acquiring the GreenTree assets and operations. Management considers these two legal matters as not obligations of the Company and therefore no amounts have been recognized in the financial statements for these contingent liabilities.

The first matter deals with sixteen containers used in the operations that GreenTree understood and said it owned. However, Mitchell Container Services, Inc. has filed a lawsuit in Delaware which may now be in a default judgment, demanding $22,000 in back rents and other related costs to collect and another $26,000 to buy out the containers, for a total of $48,000.

The second matter stems from a series of violations identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). The EPA has proposed a series of penalties totaling approximately $105,000. These proposed penalties EPA has filed against GreenTree LLC and Marc Mathys personally. The Company is not named in the EPA complaint. The proposed penalties relate to violations occurring prior to 2005, and have nothing to do with the time since the Company took over the operations of GreenTree.

NOTE 8 – Equity

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006 the Company completed three stock subscription agreements executed under Regulation S Stock Purchase Agreement. As further discussed under Note “Subsequent Events,” a total of 2,496,491 new shares of common stock were issued for $330,467.

NOTE 9 – SEC Investigation of the Company

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006 the Company received a subpoena issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) asking for certain data, documents, and depositions dealing primarily with the acquisitions and ownership changes of the Company since 2004 and forward. Management is of the opinion that it has provided all that the SEC has requested and intends to remain totally cooperative with the requests of the SEC. The current status of this investigation is unknown by the Company.

NOTE 10 – Subsequent Events

On April 20, 2006 the Company incorporated SeaSpray Aerosol, Inc. in the State of Delaware. This wholly owned subsidiary is created to house the operations of the Company rather than have the operations in the Company. Management anticipates this new wholly owned subsidiary will be up and functioning before June 30, 2006.

An additional 2,390,080 shares of common stock have been issued for $256,372 since March 31, 2006 up to and including May 8, 2006. No additional shares of stock have been issued since then to the date of the filing of the March 31, 2006 Form 10-QSB.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

INFORMATION RELATED TO FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”), we are hereby providing cautionary statements identifying important factors which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made herein. Any statements which express, or involve discussions as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions of future events or performance are not statements of historical facts and may be forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, economic, competitive, regulatory, growth strategies, available financing and other factors discussed elsewhere in this report and in documents we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these factors are beyond our control. Actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements made. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the results anticipated in the forward-looking information contained in this report will, in fact, occur.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Nano Chemical Systems Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on July 30, 1999 under the name “Heritage Scholastic Corporation.” Prior to conducting its current operations, the Company was engaged in the business of publishing and distributing supplemental history textbooks for grades K through 12. However, on January 27, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) between Heritage Scholastic Corporation, Nano Chemical Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“NCS”), and the shareholders of NCS, Heritage Scholastic Corporation issued 36,000,000 shares of its issued and outstanding stock to the shareholders of NCS in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of NCS. As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, NCS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heritage Scholastic Corporation. In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, on February 15, 2005, Heritage Scholastic Corporation changed its name from Heritage Scholastic Corporation to Nano Chemical Systems Holdings, Inc. (hereinafter the “Company”). To date we have devoted most of our efforts to developing our business plan, generating a demand for our products and raising working capital through equity financing. Our ability to generate revenues is primarily dependent upon our ability to cost-effectively and efficiently develop and market our proprietary products and successfully service our present customers. During the next six to twelve months of operations our priorities are to:

 

  1. implement a marketing strategy to reach our target markets;

 

  2. develop and strengthen our strategic relationships with suppliers and distributors;

 

17


Table of Contents
  3. respond to competitive developments in the marketplace;

 

  4. establish the brand identity of our proprietary products; and

 

  5. continue to service our present customer base.

The Company currently manufactures and sells aerosol-delivered janitorial and industrial products, waxes, lubricants, and polishes to other companies, which those companies then sell under their own brand-names. The Company also has its own line of branded products. Management believes that the Company can employ its excess production capacity to combine its aerosol operations with nanotechnology in order to bring to market aerosol-delivered nanoparticle products.

In order to make the most efficient use of the capital available to us, we plan to conduct a limited research and development program for new products that will attempt to take advantage of nano-particulate enhancement. In particular, the Company has a line of solvents, penetrating oils, glass cleaners, and polishes for automobiles which will benefit from the inclusion of nano-particulates.

We plan to use the nanomaterials and titanium dioxide technology to produce titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles and other products we intend to initially produce with the nanomaterials and titanium dioxide technology generally must be customized for a specific application working in cooperation with the end-user. We are still testing and customizing our titanium dioxide nanoparticle products for various applications and have no long-term agreements with end-users to purchase any of our titanium dioxide nanoparticle products. We may be unable to recoup our investment in the nanomaterials and titanium dioxide technology and nanomaterials and titanium dioxide equipment for various reasons, including the following:

 

  1. products utilizing our titanium dioxide nanoparticle products, most of which are in the research or development stage, may not be completed or, if completed, may not be readily accepted by expected end-users;

 

  2. we may be unable to customize our titanium dioxide nanoparticle products to meet the distinct needs of potential customers;

 

  3. potential customers may purchase from competitors because of perceived or actual quality or compatibility differences;

 

  4. our marketing and branding efforts may be insufficient to attract a sufficient number of customers; and

 

  5. because of our limited funding, we may be unable to continue our development efforts until a strong market for nanoparticles develops.

We have not produced any nanoparticles or other products using our nanomaterials and titanium dioxide technology and equipment on a commercial basis. Our actual costs of production, or those of our licensees, may exceed those of competitors. Even if our costs of production are lower, competitors may be able to sell titanium dioxide and other products at a lower price than is economical for us or our licensees.

The Company is primarily dependent upon six large customers and operates in a highly competitive environment. One of these six customers, Pioneer Manufacturing, Inc., provides the majority of the Company’s sales. The loss of this major customer would have a negative impact on the future operations of the Company.

Table of Contents

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—QUARTER ENDING MARCH 31, 2006 AND 2005

For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, we had losses totaling $652,738 compared to losses of $185,231 for the same period in 2005. This increased loss of $467,507 is primarily attributed to a $380,168 decrease in sales. Since inception to March 31, 2006, we had losses totaling $2,001,369. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we had losses totaling $316,834 compared to losses of $50,222 for the same period in 2005. As we implement our business plan, we believe our revenues should increase consistently. By focusing our efforts on limiting general and administrative expenses as we increase revenue, we expect to establish net income.

Cost of revenue generally includes costs associated with direct costs of materials. Cost of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 was $687,083 compared to $957,795 for the same period in 2005. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we had costs totaling $140,042 compared to costs of $250,717 for the same period in 2005. The decrease in cost of revenue was generally attributed to a decrease in sales. We expect that this figure will increase significantly as we implement our business plan and increase production of our products.

Research and development expenses, which primarily consist of costs associated with the Company’s development or acquisition of new products, was $46,800 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $-0- for the same period in 2005. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we had costs totaling $46,800 compared to costs of $-0- for the same period in 2005. The increase in research and development expense was largely attributed to initiating work on the new nanomaterials products.

Selling, general, and administrative expense were $911,348 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $634,602 for the same period in 2005. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we had costs totaling $343,425 compared to costs of $189,419 for the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in legal and accounting fees and costs. We expect that selling, general and administrative expenses will increase as the Company implements its business plan. We expect this increase to take the form of increased wages and employee expenses, sales and marketing expense, and other general and administrative expenses; however, we intend to ensure that any increase in the aforementioned expenses remains commensurate with an increase in revenues.

Interest expense for the nine month period ended March 31, 2006 was $79,819, compared to $0 for the same period in 2005. These increases were due to the GreenTree Note, described below in “Financing.”

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and investments amounted to $405,802 as of March 31, 2006. The net cash used by the Company’s operating activities was $34,494 and $40,899 for the nine months ended as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, which is primarily due to major shareholder capital contributions and a note payable, amounted to $437,777 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $0 used in the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

As of May 10, 2006, we had cash on hand of approximately $95,193 which is sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements through May 31, 2006. To satisfy our operating requirements through June 30, 2006 we estimate that we will need an additional $100,000. If we do not generate revenues or secure debt or equity financing before the end of June 30, 2006, we anticipate that we will be unable to adequately package and sell the nano enhanced products that are being developed by our Research and Development department.

Table of Contents

The Company’s actual future capital requirements in 2006 and beyond will depend, however, on many factors, including customer acceptance of the Company’s current and potential products, continued progress in the Company’s research and development activities and product testing programs, the magnitude of these activities and programs, and the costs necessary to increase and expand the Company’s manufacturing capabilities and to market and sell the Company’s products. Other important issues that will drive future capital requirements will be the development of new markets and new customers as well as the continued service of existing customers.

FINANCING

On June 30, 2005, the Company completed the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of One Million Three Hundred Thirty Three Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,333,000) to the Company’s largest shareholder, Green Tree Spray Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “GreenTree Note”). The GreenTree Note was issued as part of the consideration under the Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 15, 2005, by and between GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC and the Company. The GreenTree Note requires quarterly interest payments at 8% per annum with a final balloon payment equal to all remaining outstanding principal and interest due on March 15, 2007. The GreenTree Note is secured by certain assets of the Company. The Company has not made the required quarterly interest payments under the GreenTree Note, and therefore, is currently in default under the GreenTree Note.

On February 28, 2006, we entered into a Regulation S Stock Purchase Agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Xtera Establishment Corporation, a Panamanian company (“Xtera”). Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Xtera may, at its discretion, periodically purchase shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of up to $2,000,000. For each share of common stock purchased under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Xtera will pay us 32% of the previous day’s trading price of our common stock, as reported on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal market on which our common stock is traded. Xtera will notify us of its desire to purchase shares of our common stock by sending us a written purchase notice, which notice shall set forth the number of shares Xtera desires to purchase and the total consideration due to us. To date, we have sold 4,886,571 shares of our common stock to Xtera and have received proceeds of $586,839 under the Stock Purchase Agreement. There can be no assurance that Xtera will purchase any additional shares of our common stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

On December 15, 2005, we entered into two Stock Purchase and Subscription Agreements with Mercatus & Partners, LP (“Mercatus”) (collectively, the “Mercatus Agreements”). Under each Mercatus Agreement, Mercatus may purchase 4,455,310 shares of our common stock at $.38 per share. Each Mercatus Agreement provides Mercatus up to thirty (30) days to purchase our common stock. If we do not receive payment for the common stock within thirty (30) days from the date of execution of the Mercatus Agreements, we may demand that the shares be returned to us. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not received any funding under either Mercatus Stock Purchase Agreement and there can be no assurance that the Company will ever receive any proceeds under either Mercatus Stock Purchase Agreement.

We compete or may compete against entities which are much larger than we are, have more extensive resources than we do, and have an established reputation and operating history. Because of their size, resources, reputation, history and other factors, certain of our competitors may be able to exploit acquisition, development, and joint venture opportunities more rapidly, easily or thoroughly than we can. In addition, potential customers may choose to do business with our more established competitors, without regard to the comparative quality of our products, because of their perception that our competitors are more stable, are more likely to complete various projects, are more likely to continue as a going concern, and lend greater credibility to any joint venture.

Table of Contents

Should events arise that make it appropriate for the Company to seek additional financing, it should be noted that additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all, and any such additional financing could be dilutive to the Company’s stockholders. Such a financing could be necessitated by such things as the loss of existing customers, currently unknown capital requirements in light of the factors described above, new regulatory requirements that are outside the Company’s control; or various other circumstances coming to pass that are currently not anticipated by the Company.

GOING CONCERN

From our inception on September 1, 2003 through March 31, 2006, we have incurred operating losses of $2,001,369. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the expenses, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment and expansion of new businesses. Our independent auditors have issued a going concern qualification in their report dated October 8, 2005, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations. However, there can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient revenues from the services offered by us to operate at a profit or pay expenses.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to contingencies, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Stock Based Compensation. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS 123(R) will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS 123(R) as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R), and does not believe that it will impact the company’s overall results of operations and financial position.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 clarifies the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including the disposal of business segments and major lines of business. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition. The Company expects our primary source of revenue to come from the sales of our products. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or the service has been performed, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is probable.

In May 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument which is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. CONTROL AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit 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. The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, not effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

Historically, the Company has not had a formal system of controls and procedures due to the fact that the Company is small in size and has had limited operations. Currently, management, with the oversight of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, is devoting considerable effort to developing and implementing a formal system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls during the Company’s quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have

determined that there are no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the Matter of Nano Chemical Systems Holdings, Inc., (SF-2982). On January 26, 2006, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requesting production of documents relating to the following matters: (i) the Stock Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement with Heritage Scholastic Corporation; (ii) the Asset Purchase Agreement with GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC; (iii) our issuance of stock to various investors; (iv) our issuance of press releases; and (v) our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company has responded to the subpoena and intends to cooperate fully with the SEC in this matter.

In conjunction with the following pending legal matters, management believes that there is a remote possibility that the Company will be held liable to pay damages and/or fines alleged or assessed against GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC (“GreenTree”) as a result of its acquisition of certain assets of GreenTree. Although management believes that these legal matters are not obligations of the Company, it has reserved sufficient amounts to discharge the obligations owed to Tech Spray in the event the Company is found legally responsible for these matters. No amounts have been reserved in the financial statements included in this 10-QSB for the action brought by the Environmental Protection Agency against Marc Mathys or for the action brought by Mitchell Container against GreenTree.

In the Matter of: Marc Mathys d/b/a GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC, U.S. EPA Docket Number RCRA-03-2005-0191, pending before Administrative Law Judge Carl Charneski. On June 30, 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency filed a complaint against Marc Mathys d/b/a GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC (“GreenTree”), seeking fines of $103,738.00 for violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 42 U.S.C. Sections 6901 et seq. The complaint is divided into seven counts as follows: 1) owning and/or operating a hazardous waste storage facility without a permit or interim status, 2) failure to keep hazardous waste containers closed, 3) failure to provide workers with hazardous waste training, 4) inadequate contingency plan, 5) failure to conduct weekly inspections, 6) inadequate 2003 annual report, and 7) improper management of universal waste lamps. The conduct complained of has been corrected since 2004. The EPA named Mr. Mathys individually because it alleges that the violations complained of occurred before the formation of GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC. The director of Research and Development at GreenTree, via a response to the complaint, has admitted GreenTree’s guilt as to most of the violations. The Company does not believe that it is liable for these civil fines, and is of the opinion that payment of any fines is the responsibility of the parties who operated the plant at the time of the alleged violations. Furthermore, the Company believes that the parties who operated the plant at the time of the alleged violations are contractually bound to indemnify the Company against any environmental liability assessed against the Company.

Mitchell Container Services, Inc. v. GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC, Case No. 2005-04-094, pending before the Court of Common Pleas of the State of Delaware in New Castle County. On April 6, 2005, Mitchell Container filed an action for replevin of fourteen separate 550 gallon steel containers leased to GreenTree Chemical Technologies, Inc. The plaintiff claims that GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC had wrongfully taken possession of the containers, which GreenTree Chemical Technologies, Inc. had no right to sell. No representative from GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC responded to the plaintiff’s complaint, and the plaintiff has obtained a default judgment of $46,235.50 against GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC. The Company is in possession of the containers.

Tech Spray, L.P. v. GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC, Case No. 093670-00-C, pending before the 251st District Court of Potter County Texas. On August 24, 2005, Tech Spray, L.P. filed an action to recover $226,149.00 it claims it is owed by GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC for a delivery of 37,590 pounds of compressed gas. The court granted summary judgment in favor of Tech Spray against GreenTree. The plaintiff recently named the Company as a defendant in this matter. The Company answered the complaint on April 3, 2006.

In addition to the foregoing proceedings, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Other than those proceedings described above, neither the Company nor our property is a party to any known proceeding that a governmental authority is contemplating.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On February 28, 2006, we entered into a Regulation S Stock Purchase Agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Xtera Establishment Corporation, a Panamanian company (“Xtera”). Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Xtera may, at its discretion, periodically purchase shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of up to $2,000,000. For each share of common stock purchased under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Xtera will pay us 32% of the previous day’s trading price of our common stock, as reported on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal market on which our common stock is traded. Xtera will notify us of its desire to purchase shares of our common stock by sending us a written purchase notice, which notice shall set forth the number of shares Xtera desires to purchase and the total consideration due to us. To date, we have sold 4,886,571 shares of our common stock to Xtera and have received proceeds of $586,839 under the Stock Purchase Agreement. There can be no assurance that Xtera will purchase any additional shares of our common stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

On December 15, 2005, we entered into two Stock Purchase and Subscription Agreements with Mercatus & Partners, LP (“Mercatus”) (collectively, the “Mercatus Agreements”). Under each Mercatus Agreement, Mercatus may purchase 4,455,310 shares of our common stock at $.38 per share. Each Mercatus Agreement provides Mercatus up to thirty (30) days to purchase our common stock. If we do not receive payment for the common stock within thirty (30) days from the date of execution of the Mercatus Agreements, we may demand that the shares be returned to us. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not received any funding under either Mercatus Stock Purchase Agreement and there can be no assurance that the Company will ever receive any proceeds under either Mercatus Stock Purchase Agreement.

With respect to the sale of unregistered securities referenced above, all transactions were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), and Regulation S promulgated under the 1933 Act. In each instance, the purchaser had access to sufficient information regarding us and our business so as to make an informed investment decision. More specifically, we had a reasonable basis to believe that each purchaser was a non “U.S. Person” as defined in Regulation S of the 1933 Act and otherwise had the requisite sophistication to make an investment in our securities.

ITEM 3. DEFAULT UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

On March 15, 2005, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of One Million Three Hundred Thirty Three Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,333,000) to the Company’s largest shareholder, GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “GreenTree Note”). The GreenTree Note was issued as part of the consideration under that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 15, 2005, by and between GreenTree Spray Technologies, LLC and the Company. The GreenTree Note requires quarterly interest payments at 8% per annum with a final balloon payment equal to all remaining outstanding principal and interest due on March 15, 2007. The GreenTree Note is secured by certain assets of the Company. The Company has not made the required quarterly interest payments under the GreenTree Note, and therefore, is currently in default under the GreenTree Note.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On February 24, 2006, Dr. David Tomanek resigned as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Based upon written correspondence received from Dr. Tomanek, which correspondence has been filed as Exhibit 17.1 to this filing, the Company believes that Dr. Tomanek resigned for the following reasons:

 

  1. Dr. Tomanek believes that the Company undertook corporate action without his approval in October 2005.

 

  2. Dr. Tomanek believes that the Company owes him compensation for scientific consulting services.

 

  3. Dr. Tomanek objected to the association of his likeness with the Company’s products.

The Company reluctantly accepted Dr. Tomanek’s resignation on April 20, 2006 at a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors.

On April 20, 2006, at a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company’s sole remaining director, Henry Simpson, increased the number of seats on the Company’s Board of Directors from three to four and appointed Mr. James Ray, Ms. Tina Dennis and Ms. Shannon Norwood to fill the three remaining vacant seats. Mr. Ray currently serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Dennis currently serves as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Shannon Norwood currently serves as the Company’s Vice President of Marketing and Sales. There were no transactions during the last two fiscal years, and there are no proposed transactions, that involve amounts in excess of $60,000 between the aforementioned individuals and the Company.

EX-10.1 2 dex101.htm REGULATION S STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT Regulation S Stock Purchase Agreement

EXHIBIT 10.1

REGULATION S STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Regulation S Stock Purchase Agreement is executed in reliance upon the transaction exemption afforded by Regulation S (“Regulation S”) as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”).

This Agreement has been executed by the undersigned in connection with the private placement of shares of the Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”) of Nano Chemical Systems Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (NASDAQ B.B. Symbol: NCSH), (hereinafter referred to as the “Seller”), Xtera Establishment Corporation, a Panamanian company, a resident of a non USA Jurisdiction (hereinafter referred to as the “Purchaser”), and Omega Financial Services LLC (a Delaware Limited Liability Corporation hereinafter referred to as the “Escrow Agent”) hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Seller as follows:

1. Agreements to Purchase; Purchase Price

 

  a. The Seller agrees to sell to the Purchaser in an offshore transaction negotiated outside the U.S. and to be consummated and closed outside the U.S. and, in consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to purchase, subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, from the Seller up to Two Million ($2,000,000) dollars worth of common shares (the “Shares”) of the Company at a per share purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to 32% of the previous day’s last trade price (the “Closing Price”), as traded on the OTCBB, adjusted as the Closing Price changes from time to time, and subject to the conditions set forth below.

 

  b. Closing; Payment. The transaction will be closed in an offshore transaction, and the Purchaser will pay the Purchase Price in US Dollars to the account of the Escrow Agent designated by the Purchaser for this purpose. Purchaser shall initiate the closing process for each purchase by sending or faxing a written purchase notice to Seller at the address set forth below (the “Purchase Notice”). The Purchase Notice shall set forth the number of Shares to be purchased and the total consideration to be paid in accordance with Purchase Price formula described in 1.a above (the “Closing”). The Company will deliver a stock certificate representing such Shares in the name of Purchaser (collectively “Certificate”) to the Escrow Agent.

 

  c. Form of Payment; Escrow. Purchaser shall cause the payment of the Purchase Price by delivering good and immediately available funds in United States Dollars to the escrow trust account of Wachovia Bank, N.A. at Spotswood, NJ, 08884 for credit to the account of Seller as set forth herein. Upon receipt by Escrow Agent of the Certificate representing such shares specified within the Purchase Notice the Escrow Agent will complete the closing process by wiring the Purchase Price to the designated bank account of the Seller and forwarding the Certificate to the Purchaser.

Purchaser shall have to and until January 31, 2006 (the “Termination Date”) to deliver one or more Purchase Notices to the Company at which time this Agreement shall terminate, unless extended in writing by the parties. Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement by providing Purchaser with a written notice two (2) days prior to the desired termination date. In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to the Termination Date, company agrees to honor all sales made prior to the Termination Date.

 

  e. Covenant of Best Efforts. The Purchaser agrees to use its best efforts to purchase up to $1,000,000 dollars of shares between the date hereof and January 31, 2006. Purchaser shall only be liable to purchase the number of Shares set forth in each Purchase Notice.

2. Purchaser Representations: Access to Information; Independent Investigation

  (i) Purchaser is not a U.S. person as that term is defined under Regulation S;

 

  (ii) At the time the buy order was originated, Purchaser was outside the United States and is outside of the United States as of the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement;

 

  (iii) Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for its own account and not on behalf of any U.S. person, and the sale has not been pre-arranged with a purchaser in the United States;

 

  (iv) Purchaser acknowledges that the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk and further acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares, including the total loss of its investment.

 

  (v) Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemption from the registration requirements of Federal and State securities laws and that the Seller is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of Purchaser to acquire the Shares.

  b. Current Public Information. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has been furnished with or has acquired copies of the Company’s most recent financial statement.

 

  c. Independent Investigation; Access. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser in making the decision to purchase the Shares subscribed for, has relied upon independent investigations made by it and it’s purchaser representatives, if any and Purchaser and such representatives, if any, have, prior to any sale to it, been given access and the opportunity to examine all material books and records of the Corporation, all material contracts and documents relating to this offering and an opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from Seller or any person acting on its behalf concerning the terms and conditions of this offering. Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with access to all publicly available materials relating to the business, finances and operation of the Seller and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares, which have been requested. Purchaser and its advisors, of any, have received complete and satisfactory answers to any such inquiries.

 

  d. No Government Recommendation or Approval. Purchaser understands that no federal or state agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares.

 

  e. Sophistication and Knowledge. The Purchaser and/or its representatives has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it can represent itself and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares. The Purchaser is not relying on the Company with respect to the tax and other economic considerations of an investment in the Shares, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only the Purchaser’s own advisor(s). The Purchaser represents that it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.

 

  f. Lack of Liquidity. The Purchaser acknowledges that the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk and further acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares, including the total loss of its investment. The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the Shares may not be sold to a U.S. Person (as hereinafter defined) or into the United States for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase, only in accordance with the provisions provided under Regulation S, and that Purchaser has no present need for liquidity in connection with its purchase of the Shares.

 

  g. No Public Solicitation. The Purchaser is not subscribing for the Shares as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in securities generally. Neither the Company nor the Purchaser nor any person acting on behalf of either of them has engaged or will engage in

Escrow Agreement - NCSH    Seller/Purchaser Initials:                                  


any “Directed Selling Efforts in the U.S.” as defined in Regulation S promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act with respect to the Shares purchased hereby.

 

  h. Requirements for Transfer. Purchaser agrees that it will not transfer the Shares, and the Company shall not be required to transfer the shares on its books unless the transferee executes a representation letter in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. A form certificate of delivery instructions, that is acceptable, is attached as Exhibit B and by this reference, is made a part of herein.

 

  i. Compliance with Local Laws. The Purchaser will only make offers and sales of the Shares during the “distribution compliance period” as defined in Rule 902(f) of Regulation S to persons permitted to purchase such Shares in offshore transactions in reliance upon Regulation S. Further, any such sale of the Shares in any jurisdiction outside of the United States will be made in compliance with the securities laws of such jurisdiction. Purchaser will not offer to sell or sell the Shares in any jurisdiction unless the Purchaser obtains all required consents, if any.

 

  j. Regulation S Exemption. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares. In this regard, the Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees that:

 

  a. The Purchaser is not a U.S. Person (as defined below) and is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the Securities Act) of the Company. A U.S. Person means any one of the following:

 

  i. any natural person resident in the United States of America;

 

  ii. any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States of America;

 

  iii. any estate of which any executor or administrator is a US. person;

 

  iv. any trust of which any trustee is a U S. person;

 

  v. any agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States of America;

 

  vi. any non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a U S. person;

 

Page 4 of 11

 

Escrow Agreement - NCSH    Seller/Purchaser Initials:                                  


  vii. any discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated or (if an individual) resident in the United States of America; and

 

  viii. any partnership or corporation if

 

  1. Organized or incorporated under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction; and formed by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Securities Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts.

 

  b. At the time of the origination of contact concerning this Agreement and the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Purchaser was outside of the United States.

 

  c. The Purchaser will not, during the period commencing on the date of issuance of the Shares and ending on the first anniversary of such date, or such shorter period as may be permitted by Regulation S or other applicable securities law (the “Restricted Period”), offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares in the United States, or to a U.S. Person for the account or for the benefit of a U.S. Person, or otherwise in a manner that is not in compliance with Regulation S.

 

  d. The Purchaser will, after expiration of the Restricted Period, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption therefrom, and in accordance with all applicable state and foreign securities laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the Purchaser will not, in connection with its resale of the Shares, make any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Purchaser agrees that, in connection with its resale of Shares, it will provide to the persons who purchase Shares no information regarding the Company that is not contained in the SEC Filings, the Company’s website, or written materials approved in advance in writing by the Company.

 

  e. The Purchaser has not in the United States engaged in, and will not engage in, any short selling of or any hedging transaction with respect to the Shares, including without limitation, any put, call or other option transaction, option writing or equity swap.

 

  f. Neither the Purchaser nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged, nor will engage, in any directed selling efforts to a U.S. Person with respect to the Shares and the Purchaser and any person acting on its behalf have complied and will comply with the “offering restrictions” requirements of Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Escrow Agreement - NCSH    Seller/Purchaser Initials:                                  


  g. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement have not been pre-arranged with a buyer located in the United States or with a U.S. Person, and are not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

  h. Neither the Purchaser nor any person acting on its behalf has undertaken or carried out any activity for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States, its territories or possessions, for any of the Shares. The Purchaser agrees not to cause any advertisement of the Shares to be published in any newspaper or periodical or posted in any public place and not to issue any circular relating to the Shares, except such advertisements that include the statements required by Regulation S under the Securities Act, and only offshore and not in the U.S. or its territories, and only in compliance with any local applicable securities laws.

L. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company shall be under no obligation whatsoever to include any of said securities in any future registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933 and that, consequently, the sale or transfer thereof in the future will be subject to significant restrictions as provided in Regulation S under the Securities Act.

7


(c) Experience of Purchaser. The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares to be acquired by it hereunder, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.

(d) Ability of Purchaser to Bear Risk of Investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities to be acquired by it hereunder and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(e) Access to Information.

Purchaser will, after the expiration of the Restricted Period, as set forth under Regulation S Rule 903(b)(3)(iii)(A), offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares only in accordance with Regulation S, or pursuant to an available exemption under the Securities Act and, in any case, in accordance with applicable state securities laws. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement have neither been pre-arranged with a purchaser who is in the U.S. or who is a U.S. Person, nor are they part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the United States federal securities laws.

The offer leading to the sale evidenced hereby was made in an “offshore transaction. For purposes of Regulation S, Purchaser understands that an “offshore transaction as defined under Regulation S is any offer or sale not made to a person in the United States and either (A) at the time the buy order is originated, the purchaser is outside the United States, or the seller or any person acting on his behalf reasonably believes that the purchaser is outside the United States; or (B) for purposes of (1) Rule 903 of Regulation S, the transaction is executed in, or on or through a physical trading floor of an established foreign exchange that is located outside the United States or (2) Rule 904 of Regulation S, the transaction is executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated offshore securities market, and neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the U.S.

Neither we nor any affiliate or any person acting on our behalf, has made or is aware of any “directed selling efforts” in the United States, which is defined in Regulation S to be any activity undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for any of the Shares being purchased hereby.

Purchaser understands that you are the seller of the Shares which are the subject of this Agreement, and that, for purpose of Regulation S, a “distributor” is any underwriter, dealer or other person who participates, pursuant to a contractual arrangement, in the distribution of securities offered or sold in reliance on Regulation S and that an “affiliate” is any partner, officer, director or any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with any person in question. Purchaser agrees that we will not, during the Restricted Period set forth under Rule 903(b)(iii)(A), act as a distributor, either directly or though any affiliate, nor shall it sell, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey the Shares other than to a non-U.S. Person.

(a) Indemnification

(i) The Company shall, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement and without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates, each Person who controls or the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each such Person, a “Control Person”) and the officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates of each such Control Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of, or relating to, a breach or breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

11


(ii) The Purchaser shall, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement and without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, agents and employees, each Control Person and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each Control Person, to the fullest extent permitted by application law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, or relating to, a breach or breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the Purchaser under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(b) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of the claim against the Indemnified Party but will retain the right to control the overall Proceedings out of which the claim arose and such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

12


All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party to which the Indemnified Party is entitled hereunder (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party.

No right of indemnification under this Section shall be available as to a particular Indemnified Party if there is a non-appealable final judicial determination that such Losses arise solely out of the negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified Party in performing the obligations of such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or a breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under this Section is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section would apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this Section), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other and the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether there was a judicial determination that such Losses arise in part out of the negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party in performing the obligations of such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or the Indemnified Party’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party.

(d) Non-Exclusivity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any obligation or liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

(k) Placement Agent. The Company accepts and agrees that Artemis Capital (“Artemis”) is acting for the Purchaser and does not regard any person other than the Purchaser as its customer in relation to this Agreement, and that it has not made any recommendation to the Company, in relation to this Agreement and is not advising the Company with regard to the suitability or merits of the transaction. The Placement Agent shall be the Company contact for all information relating to the status of funding, location of Shares, settlement of the payment of the Purchase Price and any other information requests of the Company. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the Purchase Price is not paid as required herein, Company may directly contact the Attorney-in-Fact to provide Company notice of demand for the return of the Shares.


The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.1 hereof.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a) Organization; Authority. The Purchaser is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation with the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The acquisition of the Shares to be purchased by the Purchaser hereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors rights and remedies or by other general principles of equity.

(b) Investment Intent. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares to be purchased by it hereunder, for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares, or any part thereof or interest therein, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

(c) Experience of Purchaser. The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares to be acquired by it hereunder, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.

(d) Ability of Purchaser to Bear Risk of Investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities to be acquired by it hereunder and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(e) Access to Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Securities offered hereunder and the merits and risks of investing in such securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment in the Securities; and (iii) the opportunity


to obtain such additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment and to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information that it has received about the Company.

(f) Reliance. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the Shares being offered and sold to it hereunder are being offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and (ii) the availability of such exemption depends in part on, and that the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of, the foregoing representations and such Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.

(g) Regulation S. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (A) the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, are being sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded by Regulation S; and that such Shares have not been registered with any state securities commission or authority; (B) pursuant to the requirements of Regulation S, the Shares may not be transferred, sold or otherwise exchanged unless in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S and/or pursuant to registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption hereunder; and (C) Purchaser is under no obligation to register the Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities law, or to take any action to make any exemption from any such registration provisions available.

Purchaser is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the Shares for the account of any U.S. person; (B) no director or executive officer of Purchaser is a national or citizen of the United States; and (C) it is not otherwise deemed to be a “U.S. Person” within the meaning of Regulation S.

Purchaser was not formed specifically for the purpose of acquiring the Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement.

Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for its own account and risk and not for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person as defined in Regulation S and no other person has any interest in or participation in the Shares or any right, option, security interest, pledge or other interest in or to the Shares. Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time and that prior to any such offer or sale, the Company may require, as a condition to effecting a transfer of the Ordinary Shares, an opinion of counsel, acceptable to you, as to the registration or exemption therefrom under the Securities Act and any state securities acts, if applicable.

Purchaser will, after the expiration of the Restricted Period, as set forth under Regulation S Rule 903(b)(3)(iii)(A), offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares only in accordance with Regulation S, or pursuant to an available exemption under the Securities Act and, in any case, in accordance with applicable state securities laws. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement have neither been pre-arranged with a purchaser who is in the U.S. or who is a U.S. Person, nor are they part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the United States federal securities laws.


The offer leading to the sale evidenced hereby was made in an “offshore transaction.” For purposes of Regulation S, Purchaser understands that an “offshore transaction” as defined under Regulation S is any offer or sale not made to a person in the United States and either (A) at the time the buy order is originated, the purchaser is outside the United States, or the seller or any person acting on his behalf reasonably believes that the purchaser is outside the United States; or (B) for purposes of (1) Rule 903 of Regulation S, the transaction is executed in, or on or through a physical trading floor of an established foreign exchange that is located outside the United States or (2) Rule 904 of Regulation S, the transaction is executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated offshore securities market, and neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the U.S.

Neither we nor any affiliate or any person acting on our behalf, has made or is aware of any “directed selling efforts” in the United States, which is defined in Regulation S to be any activity undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for any of the Shares being purchased hereby.

Purchaser understands that you are the seller of the Shares which are the subject of this Agreement, and that, for purpose of Regulation S, a “distributor” is any underwriter, dealer or other person who participates, pursuant to a contractual arrangement, in the distribution of securities offered or sold in reliance on Regulation S and that an “affiliate” is any partner, officer, director or any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with any person in question. Purchaser agrees that we will not, during the Restricted Period set forth under Rule 903(b)(iii)(A), act as a distributor, either directly or though any affiliate, nor shall it sell, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey the Shares other than to a non-U.S. Person.

Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN OFFERED AND SOLD IN AN “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION” IN RELIANCE UPON REGULATION S AS PROMULGATED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. ACCORDINGLY, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COMPANY.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser makes no representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.2.

The Company shall not (i) distribute any offering materials in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares other than the Disclosure Documents and any amendments and supplements thereto prepared in compliance herewith or (ii) solicit any offer to buy or sell the Shares or, if applicable, Underlying Shares by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising.

4.8 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification

(i) The Company shall, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement and without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates, each Person who controls or the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each such Person, a “Control Person”) and the officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates of each such Control Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of, or relating to, a breach or breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(ii) The Purchaser shall, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement and without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, agents and employees, each Control Person and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each Control Person, to the fullest extent permitted by application law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, or relating to, a breach or breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the Purchaser under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(b) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.


An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any, such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of the claim against the Indemnified Party but will retain the right to control the overall Proceedings out of which the claim arose and such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party to which the Indemnified Party is entitled hereunder (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party.

No right of indemnification under this Section shall be available as to a particular Indemnified Party if there is a non-appealable final judicial determination that such Losses arise solely out of the negligence or bad faith of such. Indemnified Party in performing the obligations of such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or a breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under this Section is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section would apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this Section), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other and the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether there was a judicial determination that such Losses arise in part out of the negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party in performing the obligations of such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or the Indemnified Party’s


breach of its obligations under this Agreement. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party.

(d) Non-Exclusivity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any obligation or liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

Exhibit 17.1

VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL

Friday, February 24, 2006

Subject: Role of David Tomanek in Nano Chemical Systems

Dear Jim:

Please consider this as a notification that I wish to resign my board seat.

Please advise me of the address of Nano Chemical Systems, where I could mail in such a resignation.

In particular, I am disturbed by three things:

1. It is still unclear to me, which (if any) function I hold in Nano Chemical Systems. I believe I became member of the Board of Directors of Nano Chemical Systems early 2005. An apparent major legal step, associated with a questionnaire from a law firm, appears to have been undertaken without my approval in October 2005.

2. To this date, the company has not fulfilled any of its commitments towards me regarding financial compensation for my scientific consulting services.

3. It appears my name is being used to provide credibility to products of Nano Chemical Systems that I am unaware of.

Whatever association you believe exists between myself and Nano Chemical Systems should herewith be considered as dissolved. In particular, I ask that my name no longer be used in press releases and advertisements on behalf of Nano Chemical Systems.

Sincerely yours,

 

/s/ David Tomanek
