PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Green Technology Solutions Inc. is in the business of identifying and acquiring rights in early stage, breakthrough green technologies, with the plan to develop these technologies into marketable products. To date, we have identified the following market segments: (1) the advancement of cleaner world-wide mining technologies, with an emphasis on rare earth mining applications, (2) the development of additional markets for existing environmentally friendly paint products that are currently being marketed in the United States and (3) smart grid technology.  Our mission is to focus our resources on discovering the best available new innovative technologies in this industry space and we intend to work with young companies and inventors to deliver innovation in the real world.

In addition to the foregoing, we plan to focus our resources on successfully identifying new green technologies that have greatest potential to produce near term profits. Due to the limited management and employees, we expect to continue to form strategic joint venture relationships with early stage development technology companies whose goals and objectives are similar to ours. Moreover, we anticipate continued use of and reliance upon industry consultants who have the knowledge and expertise in the areas of our existing and future business ventures. We have located our new offices in the Silicon Valley city of Palo Alto, California, which management believes may increase access to cutting edge technologies. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has one employee.

Company History

Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (“Green Technology”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated as XCL Sunrise, Inc. in the State of Delaware on April 1 1991. We changed our name to Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. on November 1, 2004. Until December 31, 2008 we were engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas in the Ukraine. All operating activities of Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. were conducted through our wholly owned Ukrainian subsidiaries, TOV Energy-Servicing Company Esko Pivnich (“Esko Pivnich” or “EP”) and Pari (“Pari”) both formed as Ukrainian Closed Joint Stock Companies (CJSC).  On October 26, 2010, we changed our name to Green Technology Solutions, Inc.

On June 12, 2010, five purchasers acquired control of 82,519 shares (16,503,817 pre-split shares) of our issued and outstanding common stock representing approximately 69.67% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares from Burisma Holdings Limited. The aggregate purchase price for the shares was $270,000. Cambridge Securities of Panama, a Panama Corporation, acquired 60,411 shares of common stock, and four other unrelated corporations each acquired control of 5,527 shares of common stock.  As a result of this transaction, there was a change in control of the Company, and Cambridge Securities of Panama became the Company’s majority shareholder.

In accordance with the transaction described above, effective June 12, 2010, our directors Konstantin Tsiryulnikov and Leon Golden resigned from their positions. In addition, Konstantin Tsiryulnikov resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Roman Livson resigned as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Their resignation was not based on any disagreement with Green Technology, known to any executive officer or director of Green Technology, on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices. Upon their departure, Dean McCall was appointed as our sole director, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary.

Effective August 6, 2010, Dean McCall, our sole Director, CEO and Secretary, resigned from all positions held with Green Technology, including resigning from Board service. There was no disagreement, as defined in 17 CFR 240.3b-7, between Green Technology and Mr. McCall at the time of Mr. McCall's resignation from the Board of Directors.

Also on August 6, 2010, we appointed John Shearer as sole Director, CEO and Secretary to replace Mr. McCall.  Mr. Shearer will serve as a director until his successor has been elected at the next annual meeting of our shareholders or until his earlier resignation, removal, or death, and Mr. Shearer has not been appointed to any committees of the Board as the Board does not presently have any committees.
 
On August 20, 2010, our sole director and the holder of the majority of our common stock approved a change our name from Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. to Green Technology Solutions, Inc. and a one–for-200 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The name change became effective on October 26, 2010 and on November 19, 2010, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") declared our reverse stock split effective. As a result, our issued and outstanding shares decreased from 26,747,827 shares of common stock to approximately 133,740 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001, and we began trading under our new symbol "GTSO".
 
Current Plan of Operations

We are currently identifying possible early stage, breakthrough green technologies for the purpose of acquiring rights to them and developing them into marketable products. We have already identified several potential new technology endeavors and management is studying these endeavors for their potential inclusion into our development process.

On November 8, 2010, we paid $250,000 to acquire the rights to a joint venture agreement with Bio Pulp Works, LLC, a manufacturer of products made from recycled paper products.  Under the terms of agreement, we will receive a 49% interest in the joint venture.  The purpose of the joint venture is to expand the sales of Bio Pulp Works into new sales areas or to develop new recycled products which will be manufactured by Bio Pulp Works.  We have agreed to contribute $10,000 per month for a term of six months to fund the operations of the joint venture.  The joint venture participants are currently working together to develop new products and markets in the joint venture.  The Company has agreed to contribute its expertise in identifying new markets to the joint venture.  BioPulp will contribute its manufacturing expertise toward developing new products. We cannot estimate if and when products will be available for sale in the joint venture.

On January 29, 2011, we entered into a Profit Participation Agreement with Integrated Smart Solutions, Inc., a California corporation that is in the business of developing smart grid technologies. Smart grid technology is an electric network which uses two-way digital communication to control appliances at consumers' homes to achieve energy savings, reduced costs and increased reliability.  Pursuant to the agreement, we will receive up to five percent of the net profits realized by ISS, if any, in exchange for six monthly payments of $10,000.  We have no guarantee that ISS will achieve profitable operations.

On January 30, 2011, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Rare Earth Exporters of Mongola Pte.Ltd, (“REEM”) a Singapore company, whose mission is to supply worldwide industrial and manufacturing economies with necessary rare earth minerals. The Joint Venture has been formed to procure rare earth mining claims and operations. Under the terms of our agreement, we will have a 50% interest in exchange for our agreement to provide operating capital. Rare Earth Exporters is contributing its knowledge and product development skills in the market. Our initial task is to determine whether certain properties we have identified have mining claims with commercial viability. We will need to raise significant additional capital in order to fully realize the value of our claims in the joint venture if our claims reveal that they contain the rare earth minerals we are seeking to mine. We currently do not have any plan or efforts underway to raise such a significant amount of capital and are not sure when, if ever, we will be able to do so to pursue the exploitation of these mining claims if they prove to exist.

On April 12, 2011, we entered into a letter of intent to acquire REEM.  Since February, we have worked together with REEM to procure and develop rare earth mining claims and operations inside the nation of Mongolia. Agents of the joint venture signed letters of intent to undertake new rare earth mining operations at four sites in the developing Asian nation. By acquiring REEM as our subsidiary, we will position the Company to become the sole owner of these four Mongolian properties’ potentially lucrative mining rights. According to the letter of intent, the final purchase price for REEM will be agreed upon pending independent evaluations of these sites’ mineral deposits currently underway.  Subject to completion of due diligence and negotiation of final documentation, we estimate that the closing of the acquisition will occur approximately 50 days after the date of the letter of intent.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.
 
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before investing in our common stock. If any of the events anticipated by the risks described below occur, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected which could result in a decline in the market price of our common stock, causing you to lose all or part of your investment.
 
Risks Associated with the Company.
 
The Company's auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern:
 
The independent auditor's report on our financial statements contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. The report states that we depend on raising additional equity to continue our operations. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing in the near term, then we would, in all likelihood, experience severe liquidity problems and may have to curtail our operations. If we curtail our operations, we may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, the result of which will adversely affect the value of our common shares. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s net loss was $715,871 and our accumulated deficit was $7,799,363.
 
Management may not run the company in a profitable manner and if it does not you may lose your entire investment:
 
Our management has limited experience in our proposed areas of operation.  It is unlikely that any of our officers or directors will have any direct experience in the business of any target company.  Thus, the day-to-day operations of the businesses which we may become involved with will depend upon the abilities of management of the joint venture partners or the acquired target companies which we are presently unable to identify.  Our officers and directors have limited experience in the evaluation of businesses for the purposes of conducting acquisitions or mergers.

We may not be able to locate and acquire suitable companies for our future acquisitions and any failure to acquire suitable companies may result in losses to us and our investors:
 
With the exception of Bio Pulp Works, LLC, Integrated Smart Solutions, Inc., and Rare Earth Exports of Mongolia, the Company has not yet identified any target company for joint ventures or acquisitions. While we plan on pursuing "green" technology companies or projects similar in size, scope and focus to Bio Pulp Works, LLC, we may not be able to acquire companies or projects that are similarly situated as we currently intend. Intense competition can be expected from existing, better financed and more established competitors, who are also seeking to create or purchase profitable businesses. Numerous other firms have substantially greater resources in locating and/or acquiring potential acquisition candidates. Management has limited previous experience in identifying suitable acquisition candidates.  In addition, in each instance our contracts with the above-described companies are limited in scope and may not be profitable even if those companies are otherwise profitable.

Our joint venture with Rare Earth Exporters of Mongolia may require a significant cash investment and may not generate positive net income:

Rare Earth Exporters of Mongolia, a Singapore company, (“REEM”) is required to contribute its knowledge and product development skills to our joint venture, while we are required to contribute the operating capital. The joint venture has not developed a business plan and our joint venture agreement does not define how much capital nor the degree of knowledge and skills the parties must contribute. Moreover, significant cash may be required to cause the joint venture to become a viable business. Currently, we have no cash to fund the joint venture, nor do we have any plan as to how we are going to obtain such funds. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the funds or expertise necessary to cause the joint venture to become an operating entity will ever be provided.

Neither our joint venture with BioPulp Works, LLC nor our Profit Participation Agreement with Integrated Smart Solutions, Inc. has yet produced any revenue or viable business opportunities:

We have nearly completed our required investment in our joint venture with BioPulp Works, LLC and it has not yet produced any new products, markets or other business opportunities. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the joint venture will ever achieve results that permit the Company to recoup its investment or otherwise obtain any revenue. While our Profit Participation Agreement with Integrated Smart Solutions, Inc. (“ISS”) provides the Company with for perpetual participation in the net profits of ISS’s smart grid technology products, to date ISS has no products and the Company has no assurances that ISS will ever generate any net profits.

We may not have access to sufficient capital to pursue our acquisition strategies and therefore would be unable to achieve our planned future growth:
 
We intend to pursue a growth strategy that includes acquiring or investing in new companies or creating joint ventures with third parties.  There is a risk that we will not have access to sufficient capital to pursue our acquisition strategies.  We may take an extended period of time to locate and investigate specific target companies, and if one or more target companies are located, the negotiation and execution of the relevant agreements may require substantial time, effort and expense. Our ability to continue to make acquisitions will depend primarily on our ability to obtain additional private or public equity or debt financing.  Such financing may not be available to make future investments.

During the six months ended December 31, 2010 and during the period from December 31, 2010 through the date of this report, we have financed our operations through working capital advances.  There is no guarantee that funds will continue to be available to us or that we will continue to borrow funds on terms that are acceptable to the Company.  We currently do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required.  If we are unable to obtain the funds needed to operate our business, we would not be able to continue as a going concern.

Our current debt is payable on demand.  If the lender demanded payment, we do not have adequate funds on hand to repay the debt.

Other than our letter of intent to acquire REEM, we have not yet identified any specific target businesses to acquire through a purchase or merger or any specific areas of green technology that we intend to pursue and we may acquire businesses that our shareholders do not approve of:
 
We have not presently identified any specific target business to acquire through a purchase or merger or any specific types of green technology companies, including specific industries or size, on which we intend to focus.  Our shareholders will have no opportunity to review or evaluate the target companies or projects with which we may choose to become involved.  As of the date of this report, there are no plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with respect to any possible business combination or opportunity other than Bio Pulp Works, LLC, ISS, the joint venture with REEM and the letter of intent to acquire REEM.  In addition, although we intend to first pursue development opportunities in the United States, we are not certain whether such opportunities will be available or what specific industries we will acquire interests in. We have not developed and do not presently intend to develop criteria for the search and selection of an acquisition.  Thus, investors will have no prior indication as to the businesses that we may acquire if we are able to finalize an acquisition. It is possible that any business we target will present such a level of risk that conventional private or public offerings of securities or conventional bank financing would not be available to the business.

We have not conducted research to determine whether there is demand in the market for a business combination with us and, if not, we may not be able to acquire suitable businesses:
 
We have no market research to indicate that a demand exists for a merger or acquisition as contemplated by us.  Consequently, investors are relying exclusively upon the judgment of our directors and officers and their efforts in locating and selecting possible acquisition candidates.

Our lack of diversification subjects investors to a greater risk of losses:
 
In the event we are successful in identifying and evaluating one or more suitable merger or acquisition candidates, which may not occur, we may be required to issue shares of our common stock in an acquisition or merger transaction.  Inasmuch as our capitalization is limited, it is unlikely that we will be capable of completing more than a limited number of mergers or acquisitions.  Consequently, our potential lack of diversification may subject us to economic fluctuation within the single industry or limited number of industries in which we may acquire an interest.

Control of the Company may change and any new management may not successfully run our business:

An acquisition involving the issuance of shares of our common stock may result in shareholders of the acquired business obtaining a significant interest in the Company.  This may result in a change in control of the Company, which could result in the removal of our present officers and directors.  New management may not have experience or qualifications related to the operation of any of our activities or the operations of the business acquired.

We have outstanding convertible debt in the amount of $219,252 which could be converted into 21,925,200 shares of common stock.  If the debt were fully converted it could result in a change in control of the Company.  In addition, if the interest on such debt is not paid, it is added to principal and thereafter can be converted into additional shares at the same rate. Accordingly, failure to pay interest when due could result in further dilution.

One shareholder controls a material percentage of common shares outstanding potentially adversely affecting investor’s influence over corporate affairs:

One shareholder beneficially owns 59.7% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares, on an undiluted basis, based on 25,133,745 common shares issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2011.  As a result, it has the ability to influence matters affecting the Company’s shareholders, including the election of directors, the acquisition or disposition of assets, and the future issuance of shares.  Due to this shareholder’s control over such shares, investors may find it difficult to replace the management if they disagree with the way the Company’s business is being operated.

The Company’s limited financial resources will require the Company to seek additional funding, potentially diluting existing shareholders or increasing financial risk thorough debt issuance:

The Company has limited financial resources.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate funds from operations or to obtain sufficient financing in the future on terms acceptable to it or at all.  The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company.  Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis or at all may cause the Company to postpone, abandon, reduce or terminate its operations and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.   Any sale of common shares will result in dilution of equity ownership to existing shareholders.  This means that if the Company sells common shares, more shares will be outstanding and each existing shareholder will own a smaller percentage of the shares then outstanding.  Alternatively, the Company may rely on debt financing and assume debt obligations that require it to make substantial interest and capital payments.  Also, the Company may issue or grant warrants or options in the future pursuant to which additional common shares may be issued.  Exercise of such warrants or options will result in dilution of equity ownership to the Company’s existing shareholders.

 
5

 

Investors may not be able to review the terms of potential business combinations and any combination could result in losses:

We do not intend to provide shareholders with complete disclosure documentation, including audited financial statements, concerning a target company and its business prior to merger or acquisition.  Under Delaware law, a variety of corporate actions, including acquisitions, may be taken by holders of a majority of outstanding shares without notice or approval by remaining shareholders.  Thus, our shareholders may not have the opportunity to review, approve or consent to the terms of an intended acquisition or business combination.  In addition, consummation of a business combination may involve the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock.  Our shareholders may not have the opportunity to approve or consent to such additional issuances of securities, which would dilute the ownership interest of our shareholders.

Our common stock is subject to penny stock regulation:
 
Our shares are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the registrant's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. Since our shares are deemed to be "penny stock", trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.
 
We do not intend to pay cash dividends:
 
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors our board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are declared, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.
 
Because our stock is quoted on the OTCBB, our shareholders may have difficulty selling their stock or experience increased negative volatility on the market price of our stock:
 
Our common stock is traded on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is often highly illiquid, in part because it does not have a national quotation system by which potential investors can follow the market price of shares except through information received and generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that trade on the OTCBB as compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. Our shareholders may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Accordingly, our shareholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.

Continued failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results:
 
We have failed to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. To maintain these controls, we will need to hire additional financial reporting, internal auditing and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with these requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to achieve effective internal controls, and will have to disclose this in our Exchange Act reports.
 
If we fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
 
In connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we have and may in the future discover "material weaknesses" in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB defines "significant deficiency" as a deficiency that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
 
In the event that a material weakness is identified, we will attempt to adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the future. We may not have the financial or other resources to maintain effective internal control.
 
Any failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would adversely affect the annual management’s reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.

We have limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. the market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float:
 
The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or "risky" investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential acquisitions and their products and services. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
 
Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. However, the occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
 
The loss of John Shearer could adversely impact the Company:

The nature of our business, including our ability to continue our exploration and development activities depends, in large part, on the efforts of John Shearer.  The loss of Mr. Shearer could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Risks Associated with the Company’s Planned Mining Operations

We do not have experience in placing mining properties into production:

We have no experience in placing mineral properties into production and our ability to do so will be dependent upon using the services of appropriately experienced personnel or entering into agreement with other major resource companies that can provide such expertise. There can be no assurance that we will have available to us the necessary expertise to take a mineral deposit into production.

We rely on joint venture partners, consultants, geologists and engineers to perform our exploration activities:

Any potential development and production of exploration properties depend upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists. We do not have the personnel to perform these tasks internally and therefore rely exclusively on our joint venture partners and experts in these capacities. Failure of these third parties could adversely affect our business.

We require substantial funds merely to determine whether commercial mineral deposits exist on our properties:

Programs to determine mineral deposits require substantial additional funds, which the Company needs to first acquire or finance. Substantial expenditures are required to develop the exploration infrastructure at any site chosen for exploration, to establish rare earth reserves, to carry out environmental and social impact assessments, and to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore.  We may not be able to discover minerals in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operation, and we may not be able to obtain funds required for exploration on a timely basis.  We currently have no plan to acquire or finance these activities. Accordingly, you could lose your entire investment.

Our joint venture partners may have other business interests or may be unsuccessful, which could be adverse to our interests:

We are pursuing business projects that are heavily dependent upon joint venture partners. Our joint venture partners in Mongolia and the United States may have interests in projects in which we do not have an interest.  Any such projects may occupy more of their resources and capital. In addition, such projects may compete in the marketplace with the activities of our joint ventures. As a result, there is no assurance that any of our joint venture partners will be as committed to or dependent upon any joint venture as we are. In addition, failure of our joint venture partners to perform as required or expected could have a material adverse impact on our business.

We are attempting to operate in the resource industry, which is highly speculative, and has certain inherent exploration risks which could have a negative effect on our operations:

Resource exploration is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond its control and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment, and such other factors such as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environment protection. Any one or a combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on its investment capital.

We are pursuing projects in Mongolia, a developing country with has historically experienced periods of civil unrest and political and economic instability:

Although management believes the political and economic climate of Mongolia is currently stable, any negative changes in governmental laws, regulations, economic conditions, or political attitudes in Mongolia are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect our business.

The mining industry is highly competitive:

We will be competing with numerous companies, substantially all with far greater resources available to them.  We therefore will be at a significant disadvantage in the course of acquiring mining properties and obtaining materials, supplies, labor, and equipment.  Additionally, even if we begin production, we are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of mining properties.  A large number of established and well-financed companies are active in the mining industry and will have an advantage over us if they are competing for the same properties.  Nearly all such entities have greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than ourselves and, consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible mining properties and procuring the same.

We have no known reserves, no economic reserves may exist on properties we are pursuing, and we may not be able to obtain rights to deposits we are investigating, all of which could have a negative effect on our operations and valuation:

Despite commencing due diligence exploration work on certain properties, no known bodies of commercial ore or economic deposits have been established on any of its mineral properties. In addition, the Company is at the exploration stage on all of properties it has identified and substantial additional work will be required in order to determine if any economic deposits exist on any such properties. The Company may expend substantial funds in exploring these properties only to abandon them and lose its entire expenditure on the properties if no commercial or economic quantities of minerals are found or if we are unable to secure rights to exploit the same. Even if commercial quantities of minerals are discovered and we obtain the necessary rights to them, the exploration properties might not be brought into a state of commercial production. Finding mineral deposits is dependent on a number of factors, including the technical skill of exploration personnel involved. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit once discovered is also dependent on a number of factors, some of which are the particular attributes of the deposit, such as content of the deposit including harmful substances, size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, as well as element prices and the availability of power and water in sufficient supply to permit development. Most of these factors are beyond the control of the entity conducting such mineral exploration. The Company is an exploration stage company with no history of pre-tax profit and no income from its operations. There can be no assurance that its operations will be profitable in the future. There is no certainty that the expenditures to be made by the Company in the exploration of properties will result in discoveries of mineralized material in commercial quantities. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of mineral reserves will in fact be realized or that any identified mineral deposit will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) mineral deposit which can be legally and economically exploited. There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small scale tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under on-site conditions or in production. If the Company is unsuccessful in its exploration efforts, it may be forced to acquire additional projects or cease operations.

Our intended operations contain significant uninsured risks which could negatively impact future profitability as it maintains no insurance against its operations:

The Company’s exploration of its mineral properties contains certain risks, including unexpected or unusual operating conditions including rock bursts, cave-ins, flooding, fire and earthquakes. It is not always possible to insure against these risks. Should events such as these arise, they could reduce or eliminate the Company’s assets and shareholder equity as well as result in increased costs and a decline in the value of the Company’s securities. The Company currently has no insurance and expects to maintain only general liability and director and officer insurance but no insurance against its properties or operations. We may decide to take out this insurance in the future if it is available at economically viable rates.

Mineral operations are subject to market forces outside of our control which could negatively impact our operations:

The marketability of minerals is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control including market fluctuations, government regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, allowable production, imports, exports and supply and demand. One or more of these risk elements could have an impact on the costs of the Company’s operations and if significant enough, reduce the profitability of its operations and threaten its continuation.

Permitting, licensing and approval processes are required for the Company’s operations and obtaining and maintaining these permits and licenses is subject to conditions which the Company may be unable to achieve:

Many of the operations of the Company require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. The Company believes it holds or is in the process of obtaining all necessary licenses and permits to carry on the activities which it is currently conducting or proposes to conduct under applicable laws and regulations. Such licenses and permits are subject to changes in regulations and changes in various operating circumstances. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to maintain its exploration and mining activities including constructing mines or milling facilities and commencing operations of any of its exploration properties. In addition, if the Company proceeds to production on any exploration property, it must obtain and comply with permits and licenses which may contain specific operating conditions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such permits and licenses or that it will be able to comply with any such conditions.

 
10

 

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental risks and compliance with environmental regulations which are increasing and costly:

Environmental legislation and regulation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Compliance with environmental quality requirements and reclamation laws imposed by federal, state, provincial, and local governmental authorities may require significant capital outlays, materially affect the economics of a given property, cause material changes or delays in intended activities, and potentially expose the Company to litigation. The Company cannot accurately predict or estimate the impact of any such future laws or regulations, or future interpretations of existing laws and regulations, on the Company’s operations.

We may be adversely affected by fluctuations in demand for, and prices of, rare earth products:

We are seeking to derive revenues, if any, from the sale of rare earth and related minerals.  Changes in demand for, and the market price of, these minerals could significantly affect our profitability. The value and price of our common stock and our financial results may be significantly adversely affected by declines in the prices of rare earth minerals and products. Rare earth minerals and product prices may fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the relative value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies on the world market, global and regional supply and demand for rare earth minerals and products, and the political and economic conditions of countries that produce rare earth minerals and products. A prolonged or significant economic contraction in the United States or worldwide could put further downward pressure on market prices of rare earth minerals and products. Protracted periods of low prices for rare earth minerals and products could significantly reduce revenues and the availability of required development funds in the future. Even if we commence production, this could cause substantial reductions to, or a suspension of, production operations, impair asset values and reduce our proven and probable rare earth ore reserves. In contrast, extended periods of high commodity prices may create economic dislocations that may be destabilizing to rare earth minerals supply and demand and ultimately to the broader markets. Periods of high rare earth mineral market prices generally are beneficial to our financial performance. However, strong rare earth mineral prices also create economic pressure to identify or create alternate technologies that ultimately could depress future long-term demand for rare earth minerals and products, and at the same time may incentivize development of otherwise marginal mining properties.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information

All statements contained in this Form 10-K, other than statements of historical facts, that address future activities, events or developments are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements containing the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," and similar expressions . All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new acquisitions, products, services, developments or industry rankings; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.  These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our assessment of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results will conform to the expectations and predictions of management is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” under Item 1A above that may cause actual results to differ materially.

 
13

 

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-K are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated by management will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on our business operations.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only of the Company's views as of the date the statement was made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in connection with the Company’s financial statements and related notes thereto, as included in this report.

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management.

Results of Operations and Going Concern

We incurred a net loss of approximately $716,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, and had a working capital deficit of approximately $674,000 as of December 31, 2010.  We do not anticipate having positive net income in the immediate future.  Net cash used by operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $415,000.  These conditions create an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

We continue to rely on advances to fund operating shortfalls and do not foresee a change in this situation in the immediate future. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have such advances available. We will not be able to continue operations without them. We are pursuing alternate sources of financing, but there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company when needed or on acceptable terms.

Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased in the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 from $297,360 to $401,528 due to increased legal and professional expenses related to our name change and the reverse stock split.

Loss from Operations

The increase in our operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the comparable period of 2009 from $297,360 to $401,528 is due to the increase in general and administrative expenses described above.

Other Income (Expense)

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized a loss related to the creation of an allowance for the impairment of our investment in joint venture in the amount of $260,000.  Interest expense decreased during the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009 from $116,123 to $54,343.

Discontinued Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we had gain of $3,302,948 on disposal of a discontinued segment.

 
14

 

Net Income (Loss)

We recognized a net loss of $715,871 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to net income of $2,889,465 for the same period of 2009.  Changes in net income (loss) are primarily attributable to changes in operating income, impairment loss and discontinued operations, each of which is described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used by operating activities was $414,984 and $272,364 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase is mainly attributable to the change from net income to net loss, offset with the gain on disposal of discontinued segment and a decrease in interest payable.
 
Cash used by investing activities was $260,000 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we made an investment in a joint venture.
 
Cash provided by financing activities was $677,559 and $254,974 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The increase is mainly attributable to advances received which were required to fund the Company’s operations.
 
We had negative working capital of $673,890 as of December 31, 2010 compared to $433,079 as of December 31, 2009.  Our cash position increased to $2,613 at December 31, 2010 compared to $38 at December 31, 2009.
 
Our monthly cash requirement amount is approximately $50,000, and as of December 31, 2010, cash on hand would fund operations for less than one month.
 
The Company anticipates it will require around $100,000 to sustain operations and effectively evaluate new business opportunities over the next twelve months. However, if our mining claims show significant deposits then we may require several million dollars of additional financing. The Company intends to seek to raise these funds through equity and debt financing; however, there is no guarantee that funds will be raised and the Company has no agreements in place as of the date of this filing for any financing.
 
In order to fund the acquisition of rights to the Bio Pulp Works, LLC technology, the Company borrowed $250,000 of advances under similar terms to the advances which were outstanding at September 30, 2010.  The Company will be required to pay an additional $50,000 over the next five months under the terms of the joint venture agreement.  The Company plans to obtain these funds by borrowing additional advances or by other means if necessary but has no agreement in place to do so. The Company is currently negotiating the conversion of the $250,000 of advances into interest bearing notes payable but there is no assurance it will be successful in doing so.
 
We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures. However, should we execute our business plan as anticipated, we would incur substantial capital expenditures and require financings in addition to what is required to fund our present operations.
 
Additional Financing

Additional financing is required to continue operations. Although actively searching for available capital, the Company does not have any current arrangements for additional outside sources of financing and cannot provide any assurance that such financing will be available.

Critical Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial statements. A complete discussion of our accounting policies is included in Notes 2 and 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
 
Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $715,871 for the year ended December 31, 2010, while the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $673,890 as of December 31, 2010.
 
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis by raising additional funds through debt or equity financing. The Company expects to satisfy its cash requirements by obtaining additional loans; however, there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company when needed and on acceptable terms. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
 
Accordingly, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the December 31, 2010 financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional notes and disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors
Green Technology Solutions, Inc.
(formerly Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc.)
(a development stage company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Green Technology Solutions, Inc (the “Company”) (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period the Company re-entered the development stage (June 12, 2010) through December 31, 2010. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as addressed in Note 1 to the financial statements.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Green Technology Solutions, inc. as of December 31, 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net working capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF SUNRISE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc at December 31, 2009, and the related results of their operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company earned a net income of $2,889,465 during the year ended December 31, 2009, and, as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $433,079. These factors, among others, including the Company’s ability to develop the properties for which the Company has licenses, as discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. .  These statements have been amended to reflect the 200 for 1 reverse stock split explained in footnote 8.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.    NATURE OF BUSINESS

Until December 31, 2008 all operating activities of Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (formerly Sunrise Energy Resources Inc.) (the “Company”) were conducted through its wholly owned Ukrainian subsidiaries, TOV Energy-Servicing Company EskoPivnich (“EskoPivnich” or “EP”) and Pari (“Pari”) both formed as Ukrainian Closed Joint Stock Companies ("CJSC").  EskoPivnich and Pari were engaged in oil and gas exploration and development in the country of Ukraine.  While the Company had 8 leases which were licensed to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries EskoPivnich and Pari, the production activities were limited to Karaikozovsk field in Eastern Ukraine. In addition to selling oil and gas produced from its Karaikozovsk lease, the Company purchased oil and gas from third parties. The purchased hydrocarbons were subsequently resold to third parties in order to enable EskoPivnich to fulfill its monthly delivery obligations. These operations were discontinued at the end of 2008.

In accordance with ASC 915, the Company is considered to have re-entered into the development stage on June 12, 2010 as it discontinued its previous operations and did not have revenues for the period from June 12, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

On October 26, 2010, the Company changed its name to Green Technology Solutions, Inc. Green Technology Solutions Inc. plans to seek early stage, breakthrough green technologies that it can acquire rights to and plans to then develop these technologies into marketable products. The Company’s mission is to focus its resources on discovering the best available new innovative technologies in this industry space and it intends to work with young companies and inventors to deliver innovation in the real world.
 
The Company currently has its headquarters at 2880 Zanker Road, Suite 203, San Jose, California 95134. As of December 31, 2010 the Company had one employee.
 
2.    PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Basis of Presentation–The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
 
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 satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $715,871 for the year ended December 31, 2010, while the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $673,890 as of December 31, 2010.
 
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis by raising additional funds through debt or equity financing. The Company expects to satisfy its cash requirements by obtaining additional loans; however, there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company when needed and on acceptable terms.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
 
Use of Estimates and Assumptions– The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash includes petty cash and cash held on current bank accounts. Cash equivalents include short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 consisted mainly of USD denominated current accounts held at major banks.

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value after deducting provisions for uncollectible amounts.

Trade and Other Payables– Liabilities for trade and other amounts payable are stated at their nominal value.
 
Loans and Other Borrowings– All loans and borrowings are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
 
Borrowing Costs– Borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Income Taxes– Income tax has been computed based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or non-tax deductible.

The Company has adopted accounting rules under which the deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Deferred tax is calculated at rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. It is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe Company follows the FASB standard related to fair value measurement. The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. The standard applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The recorded values of long-term debt approximate their fair values, as interest approximates market rates. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows.

 
·
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
 
·
Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
 
·
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
The Company’s financial instruments are cash, accounts payable and long-term debt. The recorded values of cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.

Revenue Recognition – The Company is not currently generating revenue; however, revenue generated in the future will be recognized in accordance with SEC rules.  The four criteria that must be met in order to recognize revenue are: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Earnings (Loss) per Share – Earnings (loss) per share are computed in accordance with current accounting literature. Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss) – Current accounting literature establishes standards for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, current accounting literature requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income (loss) be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Foreign exchange translation gains and losses of the Company are reflected in comprehensive gains and losses.
 
4.     INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE
 
On November 8, 2010, the Company paid $250,000 to acquire the rights to a joint venture agreement with Bio Pulp Works, LLC, a manufacturer of products made from recycled paper products.  Under the terms of agreement, the Company will receive a 49% interest in the joint venture.  The purpose of the joint venture is to expand the sales of Bio Pulp Works into new sales areas or to develop new recycled products which will be manufactured by Bio Pulp Works.  The Company has agreed to contribute $10,000 per month for a term of six months to fund the operations of the joint venture.  The Company has agreed to contribute its expertise in identifying new markets to the joint venture.  BioPulp will contribute its manufacturing expertise toward developing new products.
 
As of December 31, 2010, BioPulp and the Company had not identified new sales areas or new products to be sold by the joint venture.  However, both companies continue to work together diligently toward that end.  As of the December 31, 2010, the Company evaluated its investment in the joint venture to determine whether it was impaired in accordance with GAAP.  Because the development of markets and products for the joint venture is in the very early stages, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the expected future cash flows which could be generated from the joint venture.  As a result, the Company created an allowance for the impairment of the joint venture and recognized a corresponding impairment loss in the amount of $260,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
In order to fund the acquisition, the Company borrowed an additional $250,000 of advances.  The advances are non-interest bearing and due on demand.  Interest has been imputed on these advances.  See Note 7.  The Company is currently negotiating the conversion of these advances into interest bearing notes payable, but there is no assurance it will be successful in doing so.

5.      OTHER ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUALS
 
Other accounts payable and accruals as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 consisted of the following:

   
2010
   
2009
 
             
Professional Services
  $ -     $ 28,276  
                 
Related parties
               
Advances from shareholders
    -       382,365  
                 
Total
  $ -     $ 410,641  

The amount of $28,276 was due to the Company’s auditor, transfer agent and financial printer as of December 31, 2009.  The amount of $382,365 owed as of December 31, 2009 represents advances from shareholders with no specific terms paid to the Company during 2005-2006 and 2009-2010. As discussed in Note 6 below, those amounts were converted into a convertible note payable during the year ended December 31, 2010.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company settled the amounts owed for professional services for a payment of $15,000.  The difference between the amount owed and the settlement amount was recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expenses.
 
6.      CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
 
On April 1, 2010, the lenders on the Company’s outstanding related party demand notes instructed the Company to repay those notes along with accrued interest at the earliest possible date.  The Company was unable to obtain replacement financing to repay those notes.  Therefore the Company and the lenders agreed to refinance the debt as described below.
 
On May 23, 2010, the Company entered into a 10% Subordinated Convertible Note payable with Infox Ltd. (a related party) in the amount of $297,567 in repayment of demand notes in the amount of $275,091 and accrued interest of $22,476.  The note bears interest at 10% per annum, matures on March 31, 2013 and is convertible into shares of common stock at $0.01 per share.  The note requires quarterly payments of interest or, upon agreement of both parties, the interest may be capitalized to principal each quarter.  There have been no payments of interest on the note.  All interest accrued during the year ended December 31, 2010 was capitalized to principal.
 
On May 23, 2010, the Company entered into a 10% Subordinated Convertible Note payable with Zaccam Trading Ltd. (a related party) in the amount of $109,441 in repayment of demand notes in the same amount.  The note bears interest at 10% per annum, matures on March 31, 2013 and is convertible into shares of common stock at $0.01 per share.  The note requires quarterly payments of interest or, upon agreement of both parties, the interest may be capitalized to principal each quarter.  There have been no payments of interest on the note.  All interest accrued during the year ended December 31, 2010 was capitalized to principal.
 
On June 2, 2010, the Company entered into a 10% Subordinated Convertible Note payable with Zaccam Trading Ltd. (a related party) in the amount of $13,709 in repayment of demand notes in the same amount.  The note bears interest at 10% per annum, matures on March 31, 2013 and is convertible into shares of common stock at $0.01 per share.  The note requires quarterly payments of interest or, upon agreement of both parties, the interest may be capitalized to principal each quarter.  There have been no payments of interest on the note.  All interest accrued during the year ended December 31, 2010 was capitalized to principal.
 
The Company evaluated the application of ASC 470-50-40/55, Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instrument as it applies to the three notes listed above and concluded that the revised terms constituted a debt modification rather than a debt extinguishment because the present value of the cash flows under the terms of each of the new instruments was less than 10% from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original notes.  No gain or loss on the modifications was required to be recognized.
 
 
26

 
 
The Company evaluated the terms of the three notes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 – 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the conversion feature did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. The Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature. The effective conversion price was compared to the market price on the date of the notes and was deemed to be greater than the market value of underlying common stock at the inception of the note.  Therefore, no beneficial conversion feature was recognized.
 
On June 4, 2010, Infox Ltd. and Zaccam Trading Ltd. each assigned their outstanding 10% Subordinated Convertible Notes to two unrelated third parties.  No other terms of the notes were modified.
 
On July 20, 2010, holders of the 10% Subordinated Convertible Note Payable originally issued to Infox Ltd. elected to convert principal in the amount of $30,000 into 15,000 shares of common stock.
 
On November 23, 2010, holders of the 10% Subordinated Convertible Note Payable originally issued to Infox Ltd. elected to convert principal in the amount of $150,000 into 15,000,000 shares of common stock.

9.      INCOME/LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
 
Basic net loss per common share has been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. In accordance with current accounting literature, diluted net income per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the applicable period, as if all potentially dilutive securities were converted into common stock. However, according to current accounting literature, no potential common shares shall be included in the computation of any diluted per share amount when a loss from continuing operations exists.

11.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Environmental remediation – Under Ukrainian law, the Company is obligated to meet certain environmental remediation obligations related to its former oil and gas production activities. This amount cannot be estimated at this time but is considered not to be a material amount. In accordance with the share purchase agreement executed by the Company and Millington Solutions LLC, Millington assumed all environmental remediation obligations relating to the oil and gas properties previously held by the Company through its former subsidiaries EskoPivnich and Pari.
 
Litigation– The Company has been and continues to be the subject of legal proceedings and adjudications from time to time. Management believes that the resolution of all business matters which will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results have been recorded.
 
12.    RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
 
Management of risk is an essential element of the Company’s operations. The main risks inherent to the Company’s operations are those related to credit risk exposures and market movements in interest rates. A description of the Company’s risk management policies in relation to those risks is provided below.
 
Credit risk–The Company is exposed to credit risk which is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss.
 
Interest rate risk – Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of a financial instrument.
 
Currently, the Company’s approach to the interest risk limitation is borrowing at fixed rates and for short periods.
 
13.    CHANGE IN CONTROL
 
On June 12, 2010, five purchasers acquired control of 82,519 (16,503,817 pre-split shares) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock representing approximately 69.67% of the total shares issued and outstanding from Burisma Holdings Limited. The aggregate purchase price for the shares was $270,000. Cambridge Securities of Panama, a Panama Corporation, acquired 60,411 shares of common stock, and four other unrelated corporations each acquired control of 5,527 shares of common stock.  As a result of this transaction, there has been a change in control of the Company, and Cambridge Securities of Panama is now the Company’s majority shareholder.
 
In accordance with the transaction described above, effective June 12, 2010 the Company’s directors Konstantin Tsiryulnikov and Leon Golden resigned from their positions. In addition, Konstantin Tsiryulnikov resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Roman Livson resigned as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Their resignation was not based on any disagreement with the Company, known to any executive officer or director of the Company, on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Upon their departure, Dean McCall was appointed as the Company’s sole director, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary.
 
Effective August 6, 2010, Dean McCall, sole Director, CEO and Secretary of the Company, resigned from all positions held with the Company, including resigning from Board service.  There was no disagreement, as defined in 17 CFR 240.3b-7, between the Company and Mr. McCall at the time of Mr. McCall's resignation from the Board of Directors.
 
 
29

 
 
Also on August 6, 2010, the Company appointed John Shearer as sole Director, CEO and Secretary to replace Mr. McCall.  Mr. Shearer will serve as a director until his successor has been elected at the next annual meeting of the Company's shareholders or until his earlier resignation, removal, or death, and Mr. Shearer has not been appointed to any committees of the Board as the Board does not presently have any committees.
 
14.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
Until December 31, 2008, the Company’s wholly owned Ukrainian subsidiaries, Esko Pivnich and Pari, were engaged in oil and gas exploration and development in the country of Ukraine.  While Esko Pivnich and Pari had 8 leases in total, the production activities were limited to Karaikozovsk field in Eastern Ukraine. In addition to selling oil and gas produced from its Karaikozovsk lease, the Company purchased oil and gas from third parties. The purchased hydrocarbons were subsequently resold to third parties in order to enable Esko Pivnich to fulfill its monthly delivery obligations.
 
On March 11, 2009 the Company received a letter from its geologists, Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. stating that based on the prices and costs used in the evaluation, which was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), they have determined that there were no proved reserves in Karaikozovsk field as of December 31, 2008.
 
In addition, as of December 31, 2008, the Company had $5,328,828 of principal outstanding under various Convertible Debenture Agreements and related accrued interest of $239,886. During first quarter 2009, additional interest of $116,123 accrued on the outstanding principal. The first debenture in the principal amount of $917,200 matured on March 30, 2009.  On March 13, 2008, the lender, Millington Solutions LLC, notified the Company that it did not intend to extend the maturity date of the debentures.
  
On March 27, 2009, the Company received a proposal from Millington Solutions LLC to transfer all Company’s assets to Millington Solutions LLC in exchange for the total extinguishment of all liability to Millington Solutions LLC including but not limited to principal and interest accrued under the convertible debenture. The Company accepted this proposal on March 30, 2009.
 
The Company recognized a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $3,302,948 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The amount of the gain was made up of the following:

15.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On January 29, 2011, we signed a Profit Participation Agreement (the “ISS PPA”) with Integrated Smart Solutions, Inc. (“ISS”).  ISS develops smart grid technologies.  Under the terms of the ISS PPA we have agreed to pay ISS $10,000 per month for a period of six months.  In exchange, we will receive 5% of the net profits of ISS.

On January 30, 2011, we signed a Joint Venture Agreement with Rare Earth Exporters of Mongolia Pte.Ltd. (“REEM”).  The purpose of the joint venture is to procure rare earth mining claims and operations and to further our plans to acquire, develop and implement the newest clean mining technology to enable our partner clients to expand operations throughout.  We will participate equally with REEM in the profits and losses of the joint venture.

On April 12, 2011, we entered into a letter of intent to acquire REEM.  Since February, we have worked together with REEM to procure and develop rare earth mining claims and operations inside the nation of Mongolia. Agents of the joint venture signed letters of intent to undertake new rare earth mining operations at four sites in the developing Asian nation. By acquiring REEM as our subsidiary, we will position the Company to become the sole owner of these four Mongolian properties’ potentially lucrative mining rights. According to the letter of intent, the final purchase price for REEM will be agreed upon pending independent evaluations of these sites’ mineral deposits currently underway.  We estimate that the closing of the acquisition will occur, if at all, approximately 50 days after the date of the letter of intent.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

On March 31, 2011, ABBM Group, Ltd LLP (“ABBM”), the Company’s independent auditors, and the Company mutually agreed that the services of ABBM, under its engagement letter dated February 2, 2011, were terminated.
 
On April 1, 2011, the Company appointed M&K CPAS, PLLC as its independent auditor and that decision was approved by the Board of Directors on the same date.
 
ABBM had not issued an auditor’s report on the Company’s financial statements for any period.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010 and the subsequent interim period through March 31, 2011, the date of the mutual termination of the engagement of ABBM, there were no disagreements with ABBM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to ABBM’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were not reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and through April 1, 2011, the Company did not consult M&K CPAS, PLLC with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matter or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Limitations on Systems of Controls

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses identified in our evaluation, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Management is required to base its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on a suitable, recognized control framework, such as the framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). The COSO framework, published in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, is known as the COSO Report. Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, have has chosen the COSO framework on which to base its assessment. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.
 
This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report on Form 10-K. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  We have identified the following material weaknesses:
 
1.
As of December 31, 2010, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment.  Specifically we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees its accounting policies and procedures.  This has resulted in inconsistent practices.  Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.  Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

2.
As of December 31, 2010, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements.   Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

John Shearer. Mr. Shearer has been in the investment banking business for 40 years, 7 of which were in New York with several boutique investment banking firms and 12 years in Miami and Fort Lauderdale where he was with several investment banks. He has been involved in equity and debt placements, structured finance, mergers and acquisitions and project finance. He has been involved in taking companies public and has served as president for several of them.  From 2005 through 2009, Mr. Shearer was a partner in Concentric Capital which provided investment banking consulting services to various private and public companies.  From July 2009 through April 2010, he served as CEO of Gulf Alternative Energy, Inc. From April 2010 through August 2010, he served as COO of National Clean Fuels, Inc. Mr. Shearer joined the Company on August 6, 2010.  He is a graduate of the University of Texas with a BBA in Finance. Mr. Shearer’s background in finance and acquisitions is a primary reason why he should continue to serve as a director, particularly given the Company’s business focus.

Composition of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and reviewing our overall performance rather than day-to-day operations.  The primary responsibility of our board of directors is to oversee the general direction and management of our Company and, in doing so, serve the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.  The Board of Directors selects, evaluates and provides for the succession of executive officers and, subject to shareholder election, directors.  It reviews and approves corporate objectives and strategies, and evaluates significant policies and proposed major commitments of corporate resources. Our Board of Directors also participates in decisions that have a potential major economic impact on our Company.  Management is responsible for day-to-day operations of the Company.

Our Board of Directors currently consists of one member:  Mr. John Shearer.  Each of our directors is elected annually at our annual meeting.  All Board action requires the approval of a majority of the directors in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present.  We plan to increase the size of our Board of Directors as we deem necessary to accommodate the growth of our business.

Independence

As of the date hereof, the Company has not adopted a standard of independence nor does it have a policy with respect to independence requirements for its Board members or that a majority of its Board be comprised of “independent directors.”  As of the date hereof, none of our directors would qualify as “independent” under any recognized standards of independence.

Board Committees

We do not currently have a standing audit, nominating or compensation committee of the board of directors, or any committee performing similar functions.  Our Board of Directors performs the functions of audit, nominating and compensation committees.  As of the date of this filing, no member of our Board of Directors qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act and our Board does not believe such an expert is necessary at this time due to the relatively simple nature of the Company’s operations.  Since the Board of Directors currently consists of only one member, it does not believe that establishing separate audit, nominating or compensation committees are necessary for effective governance.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our Directors and Executive Officers, and persons who own beneficially more than ten percent of our common stock, to file reports of their stock ownership and changes of their stock ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based solely on our review of Forms 3.4 and 5 furnished to us and on written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that the directors, executive officers, and our greater than ten percent beneficial owners have complied in a timely manner with all applicable filing requirements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, except as follows: Paradigm Capital Corporation (one Form 3 not Filed) Dean McCall (one Form 3 was not Filed) and John Shearer (one Form 3 filed late).

 
34

 
 
Code of Ethics

Our Board of Directors has discussed the adoption of a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees but has not yet adopted a Code of Ethics due to the extremely small size of our management team.  It is anticipated that the Board of Directors will adopt a Code of Ethics meeting the requirements of Item 406 of Regulation S-K in the near future.  

Procedure for Nominating Directors

In 2010, we have not made any material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our directors, executive officers or persons nominated to become executive officers or directors.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

During the past ten (10) years, none of our directors, persons nominated to become directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons was involved in any of the legal proceedings listen in Item 401 (f) of Regulation S-K.

Arrangements

There are no arrangements or understandings between an executive officer, director or nominee and any other person pursuant to which he was or is to be selected as an executive officer or director.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Mr. Shearer received cash compensation of $25,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010.  He received no other form of compensation.  Mr. Stone did not receive compensation for his services as Director.

Under Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares.  Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).  In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided.  In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.  As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on March 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2010, there were convertible notes outstanding in the amount of $219,252, including accrued interest.  These notes are convertible into 21,925,200 shares of common stock.  If the notes were fully converted, this could result in a change in control of the Company.
