You should read the entire prospectus before making an investment decision. All information contained in this prospectus is adjusted to reflect a 1-for-60 reverse split of our common stock effected in March 2004. Throughout this prospectus, the terms "we," "us," "our," "our company" and "WWT" refer to World Waste Technologies, Inc., a California corporation formerly known as Voice Powered Technologies International, Inc., and, unless the context indicates otherwise, also includes our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Company Overview World Waste Technologies, Inc. ("WWT") is a development stage company formed to convert Residual Municipal Solid Waste ("RMSW") into valuable, reusable commodities such as raw materials for box and liner board manufacturers or renewable energy applications through the application of conventional and licensed patented and proprietary technology. We recently completed construction of a processing facility in Anaheim, California to convert RMSW into valuable, reusable commodities through the application of conventional and licensed patented and proprietary technology. Our first operating facility is in a leased facility on the campus of the regional transfer facility in Anaheim, California of Taormina Industries, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Republic Services, Inc. We have entered into a contract with Taormina to supply us with RMSW. Taormina is expected to deliver RMSW to us after sorting the garbage (referred to as Municipal Solid Waste ("MSW")) in its Material Recovery Facility ("MRF"). Currently, the sorting process typically consists of the following steps: (1) MSW enters Taormina's MRF from curbside and commercial collection vehicles where it is sorted to remove non-recyclable items such as bulky items; (2) the remaining waste is then transported via conveyor lines where machines and laborers remove salable commodities such as aluminum, steel, and cardboard; and (3) the residual waste, or RMSW, is then typically removed and deposited in a landfill. Our solution provides for the RMSW to be delivered to our facility for further processing via a patented and proprietary technology owned and licensed by us. This technology employs a process generally known as "Pressurized Steam Classification". The type of pressurized steam classification that we plan to use utilizes a sealed rotating vessel to combine steam, heat, pressure and agitation to change the waste's physical composition. This Pressurized Steam Classification process converts paper, cardboard, and paper packaging found in MSW into a cellulose biomass fiber-containing material that can be screened and cleaned using conventional and non-conventional pulp recycling equipment. We anticipate selling commercial quantities of the resulting material, known as "wetlap pulp," as a raw material for making new lower grade paper stocks such as linerboard, corrugating medium, and packaging. We also anticipate selling other inorganic, recyclable materials such as aluminum, plastic, steel, and tin captured in the process, into commodities markets. We also may make other products such as (a) higher value paper, (b) building products, (c) cellulose insulation, (d) renewable fuels, such as ethanol, and (e) specialty chemicals. Our initial facility, which we recently completed construction of at Taormina's regional transfer facility in Anaheim, California was designed to be capable of processing up to 500 tons per day of RMSW. We plan to build a second plant that will be capable of processing up to 2,000 tons per day of RMSW, at which point we would have the capacity to process up to 2,500 tons per day, the total amount of RMSW deliverable by Taormina under our first agreement. Our business strategy includes the construction of such larger plants at other sites, which is expected to enable us to spread our overhead costs across a larger revenue base. Our ability to successfully complete construction of any additional facilities is subject to a number of contingencies, including our ability to raise sufficient capital to fund these activities. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will complete the construction of any additional facilities, or that our initial facility or any such additional facilities will result in profitable operations. 1 Since the formation of our predecessor in 2002, our efforts have been principally devoted to research and development activities, construction of our initial facility, raising capital, and recruiting additional personnel and advisors. We completed our first facility early in the second quarter of 2006. We are currently commissioning the plant in a controlled, or limited, start-up and making modifications as necessary in order for the plant to operate at its intended capacity. To date, we have not marketed or sold any significant amount of wetlap pulp. We have generated only minor revenue from tip fees and the sale of tin and aluminum. We have shipped a small amount of wetlap pulp produced at our first facility to prospective customers free of charge for evaluation purposes and plan to begin charging commercial rates for our pulp by the end of 2006. We do not anticipate generating significant revenue until sometime in 2007. Our stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol WDWT. We are a California corporation with our principal executive offices located at 13500 Evening Creek Drive, Suite 440, San Diego, California 92128. Our telephone number is 858-391-3400. The auditors' report with respect to our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 includes an explanatory paragraph wherein the auditors expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. In May 2006, however, we completed two private placements of equity securities, resulting in total gross proceeds of us of $25.0 million. Corporate History of Reverse Merger We were formed as a result of two mergers that occurred in 2004. First, in March 2004, World Waste of America, Inc. ("WWA") merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Waste Solutions, Inc. ("WSI"), a California corporation. Cagan McAfee Capital Partners and its affiliates were the controlling shareholders of WSI. As a result of this merger, WSI continued as the surviving corporation, assumed the operations and business plan of WWA, the stockholders of WWA became stockholders of WSI, and WSI changed its name to World Waste Technologies, Inc. ("Old WWT"). In March 2004, Old WWT entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Voice Powered Technologies International, Inc., a California corporation ("VPTI"), to merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of VPTI. VPTI was a publicly traded company trading under the stock symbol VPTI.OB. VPTI had no material assets, liabilities or operations. The merger of Old WWT with VPTI's wholly owned subsidiary was completed on August 24, 2004. Pursuant to the merger, Old WWT's shareholders became the holders of approximately 95% of the outstanding shares of VPTI. Upon completion of this merger, VPTI changed its name to World Waste Technologies, Inc. VPTI was incorporated on June 21, 1985 and provided voice recognition and voice activated products. We currently do not plan to conduct any business other than operations heretofore conducted or contemplated to be conducted by WWT. Because the shareholders of Old WWT became the controlling shareholders of VPTI after the merger, Old WWT was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and therefore the transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the historical financial statements presented are those of Old WWT. Additionally, the prior operating results of VPTI are not indicative of our future operations, and none of the assets or liabilities on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004 relate to VPTI prior to the merger. 2 The Offering We are registering 31,928,934 shares of our common stock in order to enable the holders of those shares to freely re-sell those shares (on the open market or otherwise) from time to time in the future through the use of this prospectus. Of these shares, 6,652,917 shares are currently outstanding and were issued in private transactions, 5,851,145 shares may be issued to selling stockholders upon their exercise of outstanding warrants and 19,424,872 shares may be issued to selling stockholders upon their conversion of shares of preferred stock. Since the foregoing shares and warrants were issued in private, unregistered transactions, none of such shares can be freely transferred at this time by the selling stockholders unless the shares are included in a prospectus, such as this prospectus or unless the shares are sold in an exempt transaction such as a sale that complies with the terms and conditions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. We are party to a registration rights agreement with each holder of our preferred stock. Pursuant to this agreement, we were required to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock held by each such holder (including the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrants held by such holder). In the event this registration statement is not declared effective by November 21, 2006, or does not remain effective through the earlier to occur of (i) the date that all of the shares of our Series A and B Preferred Stock have been converted into common stock and resold pursuant to this registration statement, or (ii) the date on which all of such shares are eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933 (generally, two years from the date such securities were acquired by the selling stockholders), we will be obligated to issue each holder an amount equal to 1% of the purchase price of the shares of preferred stock then held by such holder (payable in additional shares of preferred stock based on the original preferred stock purchase price) for each 30 day period during which the registration statement is not effective, up to a maximum payment of 6%. The table below does not include any such potentially issuable shares. We are also party to registration rights agreements with some of the holders of our common stock. These agreements do not contain any penalty provisions for our failure to comply with their terms.

You should consider carefully the risks described below, together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or future growth could suffer. In these circumstances, the market price of our common tock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. For the definition of some of the terms used in this section and throughout this prospectus, you should refer to the "Glossary of Selected Terms" on page 61 of this prospectus. We may be unable to achieve commercial production levels at our initial facility on a timely basis or at all. We recently completed construction of our initial facility in Anaheim, California. Prior to completion, laboratory testing of the cellulose biomass created during certain trial runs of our process indicated that the level of biological oxygen demand ("BOD") that will result from our process could be higher than the levels previously anticipated. We believe that the sewer surcharges by the local sanitation district as a result of such discharges would negatively affect our profitability. We believe that the technology capable of significantly reducing these BOD discharges to acceptable levels is readily available to us and that equipment incorporating such technology is available for purchase and installation at our facility. We estimate, however, that we will not be able to install the necessary equipment until sometime in 2007. In the meantime, we have commenced a controlled startup of the facility. During the startup of operations, we have also determined that we will need to make modifications to the plant equipment and design in order to achieve commercial production levels and refine plans for future plants. We do not anticipate that we will commence full production until such time as we determine what equipment is required and such equipment is installed and fully functional. Our success depends on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. Our success depends, to a significant degree, upon the protection of our, and that of our licensors', proprietary technologies. We exploit our technology through owning the patent itself and through a sublicense of the patent from Bio-Products International, Inc (BPI). BPI licenses this patent from the patent owner, which had been, until recently, the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). Although we recently acquired ownership of the patent from the University, our use of the technology is still subject to our sublicense with BPI. Additionally, the need to pursue additional protections for our intellectual property is likely as new products and techniques are developed and as existing products are enhanced, and such protections may not be attained in a timely manner or at all. Legal fees and other expenses necessary to obtain and maintain appropriate patent protection in the U.S. could be material. Insufficient funding may inhibit our ability to obtain and maintain such protection. Additionally, if we must resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, or those of our licensors', the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive and could involve a high degree of risk to our proprietary rights if we are unsuccessful in, or cannot afford to pursue, such proceedings. We also rely on trade secrets and contract law to protect certain of our proprietary technology. If any of our contracts is breached or if any of our trade secrets becomes known or independently discovered by third parties, we could face significant increased competition and our business could be harmed. If other persons independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and know-how, the result could be significant increased competition for our services. In addition, we may be required to obtain licenses to patents or other proprietary rights from third parties. If we are unable to obtain such licenses on acceptable terms, we may encounter delays in product development or find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be foreclosed. 8 We may face delays in the development of our technology, and our technology may not work as well as expected or be economically viable. The steam classification and processing technology that we intend to use has not yet been widely applied within the municipal solid waste industry and may not work as well as expected or be economically viable. The successful application of the technology at large scale and high volumes to create commercially usable cellulose fiber and other products has yet to be proven. Any inability under our current plan to operate the plant in a manner that will produce large volumes of commercially usable cellulose fiber may require additional investment in capital equipment and/or increased operating expenses beyond currently contemplated business and construction plans. Potential issues may include, but are not limited to, handling large quantities of textiles and other debris, unforeseen labor and energy costs, higher than expected contamination levels of the water discharge to the sewer and capturing sufficient cellulose in the process. Unforeseen difficulties in the development or market acceptance of this cellulose fiber may lead to significant delays in production and the subsequent generation of revenue. For example, laboratory testing of the cellulose biomass created during trials since December 2005 has indicated that higher than anticipated levels of BOD will result from our fiber cleaning and screening process. Although we believe technology to address and remove these BOD levels is readily available to us and that equipment incorporating such technology can be installed at this facility, if we are unable to resolve this problem within our anticipated budget, we might need to raise additional financing (which would reduce the percentage ownership of our company held by our existing stockholders) or might be forced to curtail or cease operations altogether. Our limited operating history makes it difficult to predict future results. We are in the development stage and are subject to all the business risks associated with a new enterprise, including uncertainties regarding product development, constraints on our financial and personnel resources, and dependence on and need for third party relationships. For the period from June 18, 2002 (inception) to June 30, 2006, we incurred total net losses of approximately $18.0 million. To date, we have not generated substantial revenues and do not know when or whether we will be able to develop meaningful sources of revenue or whether our operations will become profitable, even if we are able to begin generating sufficient revenue. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue, we would need to develop a new business plan or curtail or cease operations completely. The auditors' report with respect to our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 includes an explanatory paragraph wherein they expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. We may be unable to obtain the large amount of additional capital that we need to execute our business plan. Our business plan includes the construction and operation of additional plants. Each plant is expected to cost between $50 million and $70 million. We anticipate that we will fund the construction and startup operation of these plants through the sale of securities or the issuance of debt. We may be unable to raise the additional funds necessary to build and operate these additional plants. You should not rely on the prospect of future financings in evaluating us. Any additional funding that we obtain may reduce the percentage ownership of the company held by our existing stockholders. The amount of this dilution may be substantially increased if the trading price of our common stock has declined at the time of any financing from its current levels. We may not be able to obtain or sustain market acceptance for our services and products. We do not intend to engage in advertising during our development phase. Failure to establish a brand and presence in the marketplace on a timely basis could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. We may fail to successfully complete the development and introduction of new products or product enhancements, and new products that we develop may not achieve acceptance in the marketplace. We may also fail to develop and deploy new products and product enhancements on a timely basis. Any of the foregoing could require us to revise our business plan, raise additional capital or curtail operations. 9 The market for services and products in the solid waste processing and recycling industry is competitive, and we may not be able to compete successfully. The market for services and products in the solid waste processing industry is highly competitive. Most of these competitors have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we have, and may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or changing opportunities and customer requirements. Also, our competitors have greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases that they can leverage to gain market share. These competitors are able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and offer more attractive terms to purchasers than we can, which could adversely affect our competitive position and business. Likewise, the selling cycle for developing, permitting, financing and constructing new plants is long and will consume considerable resources. We may be unable to develop additional projects in a timely manner which may adversely affect our business The demand for our services may be adversely affected by environmental laws and regulations. To a certain extent, demand for our services is created by environmental laws and regulations, including (a) requirements to safely dispose of RMSW by various methods including in properly constructed and operated landfills, (b) requirements to attempt to recycle a certain proportion of RMSW, and (c) requirements that businesses operating in the solid waste industry comply with applicable land, water and air emission regulations. The lack of environmental laws and regulations, or the loosening or non-enforcement of existing regulations, would decrease demand for our services and may have a material adverse affect on our business. If we do not obtain a significant supply of solid waste and timely payment for that solid waste, our operating results could be adversely affected. If we do not obtain a supply of solid waste at quantities and qualities that are sufficient to operate our proposed facilities at the expected operating levels, or if third parties do not promptly pay for the solid waste they deliver to us for processing, our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected. Additionally, our current waste supply agreement does not include a specification requirement for the composition of materials in our incoming waste stream. One or more of the following factors could impact the price and supply of waste: o defaults by waste suppliers under their contracts; o changing composition of the material in the waste stream, including the percentage of paper fiber; o a decline in recyclables in the solid waste supply due to increased recovery by material recovery facilities; o composting of municipal solid waste; o incineration of municipal solid waste; o legal prohibitions against processing of certain types of solid waste in our facilities; or o increased competition from landfills and increasingly automated recycling facilities. The loss of key executives and the failure to attract qualified management could limit our growth and negatively impact our operations. We depend highly upon our senior management team. We will continue to depend on operations management personnel with waste handling and pulp industry experience. At this time, we do not know the availability of such experienced management personnel or how much it may cost to attract and retain such personnel. The loss of the services of any member of senior management or the inability to hire experienced operations management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. 10 Our results of operations may be adversely affected by changing resale prices or market requirements for recyclable materials. The resale price for our recycled products, including our unbleached fiber product, aluminum, and steel, will be tied to commodity pricing. Our results of operations may be adversely affected by changing resale prices or market requirements for these recyclable materials. The resale, and market demand for, these materials can be volatile due to numerous factors beyond our control, which may cause significant variability in our period-to-period results of operations. Our revenues and results of operations will fluctuate. Our revenues and results of operations will vary from quarter to quarter in the future. A number of factors, many of which are outside our control, may cause variations in our results of operations, including: o demand and price for our products; o the timing and recognition of product sales; o unexpected delays in developing and introducing products; o unexpected delays in building and permitting our processing facilities; o unexpected downtime in operations to maintain or improve equipment; o increased expenses, whether related to plant operations, marketing, product development or administration or otherwise; o the mix of revenues derived from products; o the hiring, retention and utilization of personnel; o waste collection companies being impacted by seasonal and cyclical changes and facing competition, work stoppages and environmental issues that could adversely affect our business and operations; o general economic factors; and o changes in the revenue recognition policies required by generally accepted accounting principles. We may engage in strategic transactions that may fail to enhance stockholder value. From time to time, we may consider possible strategic transactions, including the potential acquisitions of products, technologies and companies, and other alternatives within and outside of our industry with the goal of maximizing stockholder value. We may never complete a strategic transaction(s) and in the event that we do complete a strategic transaction(s), it may not be consummated on terms favorable to us. Further, such transactions may impair stockholder value or otherwise adversely affect our business. Any such transaction may require us to incur non-recurring or other charges and may pose significant integration challenges and/or management and business disruptions, any of which could harm our results of operation and business prospects. 11 Environmental regulations and litigation could subject us to fines, penalties, judgments and limitations on our ability to expand. We are subject to potential liability and restrictions under environmental laws, including those relating to handling, recycling, treatment, storage of wastes, discharges to air and water, and the remediation of contaminated soil, surface water and groundwater. The waste management industry has been, and will continue to be, subject to significant regulation, including permitting and related financial assurance requirements, as well as to attempts to further regulate the industry through new legislation. Our business is subject to a wide range of federal, state and, in some cases, local environmental, odor and noise and land use restrictions and regulations. If we are not able to comply with the requirements that apply to a particular facility or if we operate without necessary approvals, we could be subject to civil, and possibly criminal, fines and penalties, and we may be required to spend substantial capital to bring an operation into compliance or to temporarily or permanently discontinue operations, and/or take corrective actions. We may not have sufficient insurance coverage for our environmental liabilities. Those costs or actions could be significant to us and significantly impact our results of operations, as well as our available capital. In addition to the costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations, if governmental agencies or private parties brought environmental litigation against us, we would likely incur substantial costs in defending against such actions. We may be, in the future, a defendant in lawsuits brought by parties alleging environmental damage, personal injury, and/or property damage. A judgment against us, or a settlement by us, could harm our business, our prospects and our reputation. Future costs under environmental, health and safety laws may adversely affect our business. We could be liable if our operations cause environmental damage to our properties or to the property of other landowners, particularly as a result of the contamination of drinking water sources or soil. Under current law, we could even be held liable for damage caused by conditions that existed before we acquired the assets or operations involved. Any substantial liability for environmental damage could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We may be unable to obtain or retain permits that are required to operate our business. Our failure to obtain or retain the permits required to operate our initial facility or additional facilities we may seek to construct would have a material negative effect on our business operations. Permits to operate waste processing facilities have become increasingly difficult and expensive to obtain and retain as a result of many factors including numerous hearings and compliance with zoning, environmental and other regulatory measures. The granting of these permits is also often subject to resistance from citizen or other groups and other political pressures. Our failure to obtain or retain the required permits to operate our facilities could have a material negative effect on our future results of operations. We anticipate that a substantial portion of our revenues will be generated from our agreement with Taormina Industries; We are not currently in compliance with all of our obligations under this agreement. In June 2003, we signed a 10-year contract with Taormina Industries, a division of Republic Services, Inc. The agreement provides for Taormina to deliver up to 500 tons of MSW per day to us for processing at our Anaheim facility on the campus of Taormina in Anaheim, California. The second phase calls for us to build an additional plant in the Orange County area at which Taormina will deliver up to an additional 2,000 tons of MSW per day. The agreement grants Taormina a right of first refusal to participate in potential additional projects in an additional 10 counties throughout California where Taormina has operations. Under the terms of the agreement, Taormina is required to pay us a per ton tipping fee. We anticipate that a substantial portion of our revenues will be generated from this agreement for the foreseeable future. 12 The Taormina agreement, as amended, provides that Taormina's obligations are subject to our ability to maintain compliance with all necessary permits and that Taormina may suspend delivery of MSW to us at any time if it determines that our operations would threaten to place Taormina's operations in non-compliance with its own permits or other governmental approvals. In addition, in the agreement we represented to Taormina that the residual waste we deliver to them would not exceed 40%, by weight, of the associated MSW delivered to us by Taormina. We are not currently in compliance with this representation. Until we are able to remedy this situation, Taormina could attempt to re-negotiate or terminate the agreement or refuse to accept any waste from us. If Taormina were to stop delivering MSW to us for any reason or if are unable to extend this agreement on terms favorable to us or at all prior to its expiration, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed. We may be exposed to substantial liability claims in the ordinary course of our business. Since our personnel are expected to routinely handle solid waste materials, we may be subject to liability claims by employees, customers and third parties. We currently have liability insurance in place, but such insurance may not be adequate to cover claims asserted against us. Also, we may be unable to maintain or purchase such insurance in the future. Either of these events could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition or our ability to raise additional capital. Claims by other companies that we infringe their intellectual property or proprietary rights may adversely affect our business. If any of our products or processes is found to violate third party intellectual property rights, we may be required to re-engineer one or more of those products or processes or seek to obtain licenses from third parties to continue offering our products or processes without substantial re-engineering, and such efforts may not be successful. We may be unable to obtain such licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all. Failure to do so could result in significant curtailment of our operations. Future patents may be issued to third parties upon which our technology may infringe. We may incur substantial costs in defending against claims under any such patents. Furthermore, parties making such claims may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief, which effectively could block our ability to further develop or commercialize some or all of our products or services, and could result in the award of substantial damages against us. In the event of a claim of infringement, we may be required to obtain one or more licenses from third parties. We may be unable to obtain such licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any such license could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Our sub-license agreement with Bio-Products International, Inc. is not exclusive in all respects and imposes certain requirements on us to maintain exclusivity in specified applications. Our sub-license agreement with BPI generally grants us the exclusive rights to exploit the technology covered by the license in the United States with respect to most applications. We do not, however, have the exclusive right to applications in which the cellulose biomass product of waste, including municipal solid waste, processed utilizing the licensed technology is either used directly as a fuel source or converted into an end product for energy production (although BPI agreed to grant us a sub-license for such applications on a site-specific basis upon our request). Accordingly, BPI may grant third parties the right to use the technology for the production of marketable solid combustion fuel end products. In order to maintain exclusivity with respect to the other applications, we are required to continue to improve our initial facility in Anaheim, California on a regular schedule or construct new facilities. Our failure to maintain exclusivity of the sub-license could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 13 If we fail to implement new technologies, we may not be able to keep up with our industry, which could have an adverse affect on our business. We expect to utilize patented and proprietary steam classification technology in our processing facilities and to adopt other technologies from time to time. Our future growth is partially tied to our ability to improve our knowledge and implementation of waste processing and energy development technologies. Inability to successfully implement commercially viable waste processing technologies in response to market conditions in a manner that is responsive to our customers' requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operation. We may not be able to implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on a timely basis. The SEC, as directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules generally requiring each public company to include a report of management on the company's internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report on Form 10-K that contains an assessment by management of the effectiveness of the company's internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, the company's independent registered accounting firm must attest to and report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement will first apply to our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. We have not yet developed a Section 404 implementation plan. We have in the past discovered, and may in the future discover, areas of our internal controls that need improvement. How companies should be implementing these new requirements including internal control reforms to comply with Section 404's requirements and how independent auditors will apply these requirements and test companies' internal controls, is still reasonably uncertain. We expect that we will need to hire and/or engage additional personnel and incur incremental costs in order to complete the work required by Section 404. We can not assure you that we will be able to complete a Section 404 plan on a timely basis. Additionally, upon completion of a Section 404 plan, we may not be able to conclude that our internal controls are effective, or in the event that we conclude that our internal controls are effective, our independent accountants may disagree with our assessment and may issue a report that is qualified. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could negatively affect our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. We may become subject to liability and incur increased expenditures as a result of the restatement of our financial statements. We previously restated our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the quarters ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005, and September 30, 2005, to correct certain accounting errors in the original financial statements related to the fair value of options and warrants, the relative value of senior secured debt and the related warrants and the classification of redeemable preferred stock. The principal accounting errors reflected in such financial statements that led to the restatements were as follows: 1) Fair value of options and warrants: In order to properly account for the expense associated with the issuance of options and warrants, we are required to determine the fair value of these securities. In determining this value we undertook a "Black Scholes" analysis, a method of valuation that takes into account the expected volatility of the stock underlying the convertible securities being valued. Because at the time of this valuation we had no stock trading history as a company with the operations of Old WWT (i.e. all of the trading had been as VPTI, a company with no operations), in determining expected volatility, we used the trading prices of a representative sample of companies within our industry as opposed to VPTI's trading history. 14 Based on discussions with the staff of the SEC as to current practices in applying the applicable accounting guidelines and further review of the authoritative accounting literature for new public companies, we concluded that the use of a volatility factor more consistent with our stage of life cycle and financial leverage would be more appropriate than a volatility factor based on the trading of shares of companies within our industry. We also changed the price used in calculating the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the private placement of our Series A Preferred Stock from the price such shares were actually sold at to the quoted market price of our common stock as of the closing of such issuance. These changes affected primarily the recorded value on our balance sheet of debt offering costs, patent and licenses, senior secured debt, redeemable preferred stock, warrant liability, additional paid in capital and deficit accumulated during the development stage. For the year ended December 31, 2005, these changes resulted in a $250,507 increase in general and administrative expense and a $323,450 increase in fair value of warrant liabilities resulting in a $72,943 net decrease in our net loss for the year. In addition, the amortization of preferred stock warrants, offering costs and beneficial conversion feature classified similar to preferred stock dividends increased by $491,939. The changes did not have any material impact on our statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004. 2) Relative fair value: In November 2005 we completed a private placement of senior debt securities with detachable warrants. In accounting for this transaction, we discounted the recorded value of the senior debt securities by an amount equal to the fair value of the warrants. Upon further review of the applicable accounting literature, we determined that we should have discounted the senior debt for the "relative fair value" of the warrants rather than the "fair value" of the warrants. Although this had the effect of overstating the discount on the senior debt at December 31, 2005 by approximately $235,000, the change had no impact on our statement of operations for 2004 or 2005. 3) Preferred stock: Our preferred stock had been classified as a liability because it is redeemable at the end of five years, at the option of the holders. Upon further review of authoritative literature, we determined that our preferred stock should have been classified as "mezzanine equity" rather than as a liability. This change had no impact on our statement of operations for 2004 or 2005. For a more detailed presentation of the effect of the restatement on our financial statements, please see note 16 to our consolidated financial statements. Based on our assessment of the foregoing, we concluded that the factors that resulted in the restatements were caused by a lack of consistent authoritative guidance and not a failure to detect and assess the issues and collect relevant data. The restatement of these previously issued financial statements could expose us to legal and regulatory risk, such as securities class action or other lawsuits that may be brought against us or our officers and directors, or inquiries, proceedings or actions from United States federal or state regulatory agencies. The defense of any such actions could cause the diversion of management's attention and resources, and we could be required to pay damages to settle such actions if any such actions are not resolved in our favor. Even if resolved in our favor, such actions could cause us to incur significant legal and other expenses. Moreover, we may be the subject of negative publicity focusing on the financial statement inaccuracies and resulting restatements and negative reactions from our stockholders or others with which we do business. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could harm our business and reputation and cause the price of our securities to decline. Changes in stock option accounting rules may adversely affect our reported operating results, our stock price and our ability to attract and retain employees. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board published new rules that require companies to record all stock-based employee compensation as an expense. The new rules apply to stock option grants, as well as a wide range of other share-based compensation arrangements including restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. During the fourth quarter of 2004, we adopted this accounting policy, retroactive to our inception. As a company with limited financial resources, we have depended upon compensating our officers, directors, employees and consultants with such share-based compensation awards in the past in order to limit our cash expenditures and to attract and retain officers, directors, employees and consultants. Accordingly, if we continue to grant stock options or other stock based compensation awards to our officers, directors, employees, and consultants, our future earnings, if any, will be reduced (or our future losses will be increased) by the expenses recorded for those grants. These compensation expenses may be larger than the compensation expense that we would be required to record were we able to compensate these persons with cash in lieu of securities. 15 The expenses we will have to record as a result of future options grants may be significant and may materially negatively affect our reported financial results. For example, for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006, we incurred approximately $423,000 and $463,400, respectively of expenses as a result of share-based compensation. The adverse effects that the new accounting rules may continue to have on our future financial statements should we continue to rely heavily on stock-based compensation may lead to a reduction in our stock price and make it more difficult for us to attract new investors. However, reducing our use of stock plans to reward and incentivize our officers, directors, employees and consultants, could result in a competitive disadvantage to us in the employee marketplace. RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK Substantial sales of our common stock could cause our stock price to fall. As of October 27, 2006, we had outstanding 25,217,071 shares of common stock and approximately 17.0 million shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our outstanding preferred stock, as well as options and warrants to acquire up to an additional approximately 7.0 million shares of common stock. A substantial portion of these shares are either freely tradable shares or eligible for public resale under Rule 144. Although Rule 144 restricts the number of shares that any one holder can sell during any three-month period under Rule 144, because more than one stockholder holds these restricted shares, a significant number of shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of the shares subject to Rule 144 or this registration statement (including shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and conversion of our preferred stock held by selling stockholders), or the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the public market under Rule 144 or this registration statement, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities. The limited market for our common stock may adversely affect trading prices or the ability of a shareholder to sell our shares in the public market. Our common stock is thinly-traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would likely be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. Due to these conditions, you may be unable to sell your shares at or near ask prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares. 16 You may have difficulty selling our shares because they are deemed "penny stocks" Since our common stock is not listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, if the trading price of our common stock remains below $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock will continue to be subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally defined as an investor with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with a spouse). For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of holders of our common stock to sell their shares. The holders of our preferred stock have certain rights that could adversely affect the value of our common stock. Under our articles of incorporation, our board of directors has the power, without further action by the holders of our common stock, to designate the relative rights and preferences of the preferred stock, and to issue the preferred stock in one or more series as designated by our board of directors. The designation of rights and preferences could include preferences as to liquidation, redemption and conversion rights, voting rights, dividends or other preferences, any of which may be dilutive of the interest of the holders of our common stock or the preferred stock of any other series. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company without further stockholder action and may adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of our common stock. We currently have two such series of preferred stock, designated as "8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Participating Preferred Stock" and "8% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Participating Preferred Stock." The rights, preferences and privileges of our preferred stock is described under the section "Description of Securities." Our directors, executive officers and their affiliates hold a substantial amount of our common stock and may be able to prevent other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions. Our directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially own a substantial amount of our outstanding common stock. These stockholders, if they were to act together, would likely be able to direct the outcome of matters requiring approval of the stockholders, including the election of our directors and other corporate actions such as: o our merger with or into another company; o a sale of substantially all of our assets; and o amendments to our articles of incorporation. 17 The decisions of these stockholders may conflict with our interests or those of our other stockholders. In addition, the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock currently have the right, upon 30 days' prior notice to us, to appoint, as a class, a majority of the members of our Board of Directors. This right terminates upon the first to occur of (i) the Operational Date (generally defined as if and when our initial plant in Anaheim, California generates total operating cash flow of at least $672,000 for any consecutive three month period) and (ii) the date on which less than 3.0 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding. The market price of our stock may be adversely affected by market volatility. The market price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many factors, including: o developments with respect to patents or proprietary rights; o announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors; o announcements of new products or new contracts by us or our competitors; o actual or anticipated variations in our operating results due to the level of development expenses and other factors; o changes in financial estimates by securities analysts and whether our earnings meet or exceed such estimates; o conditions and trends in the waste industry and other industries; o changing environmental standards; o new accounting standards; o general economic, political and market conditions and other factors; and o the occurrence of any of the other risks described in this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. However, we will receive the sale price of any common stock we sell to the selling stockholders upon exercise by them of their warrants. If warrants to purchase all of the underlying 5,851,145 shares are exercised for cash, we would receive approximately $10.5 million of total proceeds. We would expect to use these proceeds, if any, for general working capital purposes. MARKET OF COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Market Information Our common stock has been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board over-the-counter market since August 24, 2004 under the symbol "WDWT." Prior to the merger in which World Waste Technologies, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary on August 24, 2004, our common stock was listed on the OTC Bulletin Board over-the-counter market under the symbol "VPTI." There was little trading in our common stock prior to the merger on August 24, 2004 and there has only been limited trading since then. Prior to the merger, trading in our common stock was not necessarily based on our company's operations or prospects, and trading since the merger also may not be fully reflective of those factors. On March 25, 2004, the controlling stockholder of VPTI approved a one-for-60 reverse split of our common stock to be effectuated upon the closing of the merger between VPTI and Old WWT. The reverse stock split became effective at the close of business on August 24, 2004. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low closing bid prices for our Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, for the quarters presented. The bid prices have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. Bid prices represent inter-dealer quotations without adjustments for markups, markdowns, and commissions, and may not represent actual transactions: Quarter Ending High Low -------------- ------ ----- Fiscal 2004 March 31, 2004 $ 9.00 $0.60 June 30, 2004 $11.40 $4.20 September 30, 2004 $ 7.00 $2.50 December 31, 2004 $ 4.85 $3.20 Fiscal 2005 March 31, 2005 $ 4.90 $2.80 June 30, 2005 $ 5.50 $2.80 September 30, 2005 $ 4.55 $2.10 December 31, 2005 $ 3.50 $2.15 Fiscal 2006 March 31, 2006 $ 4.07 $2.50 June 30, 2006 $ 6.20 $2.90 September 30, 2006 $ 4.16 $2.18 19 Holders As of October 27, 2006 there were approximately 862 holders of record of our common stock, not including holders who hold their shares in street name. Dividends We have not paid any dividends on our common stock to date and do not anticipate that we will be paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends on our common stock in the future will be dependent upon the amount of funds legally available, our earnings, if any, our financial condition, our anticipated capital requirements and other factors that our Board of Directors may think are relevant. However, we currently intend for the foreseeable future to follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Additionally, the terms of our preferred stock impose restrictions on our ability to pay dividends. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION Forward-Looking Statements The following discussion, as well as information contained elsewhere in this prospectus, contains "forward-looking statements." These statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us, our directors or our officers with respect to, among other things: anticipated financial or operating results, financial projections, business prospects, future product performance and other matters that are not historical facts. The success of our business operations is dependent on factors such as the impact of competitive products, product development, commercialization and technology difficulties, the results of financing efforts and the effectiveness of our marketing strategies, and general competitive and economic conditions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those described under " Risk Factors" beginning on page 8. Overview We were formed as a result of two mergers that occurred in 2004. First, in March 2004, World Waste of America, Inc. ("WWA") merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Waste Solutions, Inc. ("WSI"), a California corporation. Cagan McAfee Capital Partners and its affiliates were the controlling shareholders of WSI. As a result of this merger, WSI continued as the surviving corporation, assumed the operations and business plan of WWA, the stockholders of WWA became stockholders of WSI, and WSI changed its name to World Waste Technologies, Inc. ("Old WWT"). In March 2004, Old WWT entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Voice Powered Technologies International, Inc., a California corporation ("VPTI"), to merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of VPTI. VPTI was a publicly traded company trading under the stock symbol VPTI.OB. VPTI had no material assets, liabilities or operations. The merger of Old WWT with VPTI's wholly owned subsidiary was completed on August 24, 2004. Pursuant to the merger, Old WWT's shareholders become the holders of approximately 95% of the outstanding shares of VPTI. Upon completion of this merger, VPTI changed its name to World Waste Technologies, Inc. VPTI was incorporated on June 21, 1985 and provided voice recognition and voice activated products. We currently do not plan to conduct any business other than operations heretofore conducted or contemplated to be conducted by WWT. Because the shareholders of Old WWT became the controlling shareholders of VPTI after the merger, Old WWT was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and therefore the transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the historical financial statements presented are those of Old WWT. Additionally, the prior operating results of VPTI are not indicative of our future operations, and none of the assets or liabilities on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004 relate to VPTI prior to the merger. 20 Since the formation of WWA in 2002, our efforts have been principally devoted to research and development activities, construction of our initial facility, raising capital, and recruiting additional personnel and advisors. To date, we have not marketed or sold any significant amount of product and have not generated any significant revenues. We do not anticipate becoming fully operational and generating any significant revenue until sometime during 2007. Plan of Operations Through the early part of the second quarter of 2006, we purchased certain assets and equipment that we needed to construct our first facility to process RMSW delivered to us after processing through an MRF. We have a sub-license for a patented technology capable of separating MSW into cellulose biomass and other commodities. This process, known as "pressurized steam classification," uses a pressurized, rotating autoclave to treat MSW and convert it into separable streams of metals, plastics, and cellulose biomass. The process is designed to minimize detrimental discharges to the air and water. The main product of the process is a cellulose biomass material with significant cellulose fiber content which after thorough screening and cleaning may be sold for the production of liner or corrugated medium, linerboard and other packing grade materials or other industrial uses. In addition to recovering cellulose, we believe that the process will create a saleable stream of standard recycled materials of aluminum, tin, steel and plastics. Although we have not reached a conclusion on the economic feasibility at a commercial stage, we may in the future be able to produce other paper products and additional products such as ethanol, refuse derived fuel, cellulose insulation and other energy products, and we may be able to sell additional residual materials into other markets In December 2005, we began testing the "pressurized steam classification" process at our first facility. Through September 15, 2006, we had run the plant on a test basis and had shipped small quantities of wetlap to our prospective buyers for testing. Initial customer feedback indicates a desire to utilize our product in larger quantities. As we work toward full operations in our first plant in Anaheim we are concurrently conducting a rigorous review of the equipment in our process, our design strategy for the plant, our incoming materials composition and other key operating factors which will be critical to successful operation of the Anaheim plant and will provide insights for the improved operation and profitability of future plants. In this ramp-up and review process we may supplement, change or realign existing equipment, bring in outside advisors to assist in our planning, and we may work with our MSW supplier to change the composition, quantity and terms for delivery of our feedstock. The goal for any such adjustments will be to maximize throughputs and yields at the Anaheim plant and to capture and incorporate our accumulated experience from the Anaheim plant into the design, construction and operation of future plants. Laboratory testing of the cellulose biomass created during the trials between December 2005 and October 27, 2006 has indicated that higher than anticipated levels of BOD will be present in our wastewater discharge. We believe technology to address and remove these BOD levels is readily available to us and that equipment incorporating such technology can be installed at this first facility. We also believe it may be economically advantageous to us to purchase and install this additional equipment, which may increase our capital requirements. We are currently evaluating which equipment will best address this issue. 21 Our current plan of operation for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2006 and through the first half of 2007 primarily involves commissioning, ramping up and operating our first facility and making incremental improvements to the equipment and process. We currently do not expect to reach a full stage of operations until sometime in 2007, if ever. We currently anticipate hiring an additional 40 to 50 employees during the next 12 months, assuming we continue to ramp-up production. The amounts we expend on research and development and related activities during the remainder of 2006 may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including pace and success of the ramp -up of processing of our first facility, and the possible acquisition of additional equipment. Based on our current estimates, we believe that our current cash will sustain operations until at least December 2008, based on our current expected burn rate, exclusive of significant capital expenditures that will be necessary in order to construct additional facilities. Upon the successful consistent production of wetlap at our first facility, we anticipate that we will begin the planning process of our second facility, including site location, permitting, design, engineering and the ordering of equipment. Our ability to commence construction of a second facility will be contingent upon our ability to raise additional capital. Also in the remainder of 2006 and into 2007 we plan to be in discussion with potential partners for the purpose of developing additional products and markets in our core business of extracting paper fiber and other recyclables from MSW. We also plan to continue pursuing various partnerships, joint ventures and acquisitions designed to enable our entry into new and potentially higher value products that are based on our ability to produce and refine cellulose biomass. We may also consider acquisitions or joint ventures in other areas of renewable products.. We have and we continue to have such discussions with operating companies, exporters, technology providers, foreign companies and others who have operating businesses or some level of expertise in the following areas: converting cellulose biomass to ethanol, specialty chemicals and other energy sources; making building products and building product additives; recycling plastic and metal into reusable forms; utilizing our pulp residuals for composting materials and other beneficial uses. However, at this time we cannot assure you that any of these discussions will lead to formal business partnerships, acquisitions or new ventures. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the selected historical financial information and the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. Financial information for the period from June 18, 2002 (date of inception) to December 31, 2002, and for the year ended December 31, 2003 is the historical financial information of Old WWT. Financial information for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 is the historical financial information of Old WWT and VPTI combined. Financing Transaction and Extinguishment of Senior Debt We recently completed a $25 million private placement of equity securities. As part of this transaction approximately $3,485,000 principal amount of our senior debt was exchanged for our equity securities, with the balance of such debt, $2,780,000, being repaid with a portion of the offering proceeds. Additionally, as part of this transaction we agreed to seek shareholder approval to modify certain terms of our Series A Preferred Stock. The foregoing modifications resulted in significant charges to our earnings. Reverse Stock Split On March 25, 2004, VPTI's controlling stockholder approved a one-for-60 reverse stock split of our common stock to be effectuated upon the closing of the merger between VPTI and Old WWT, which became effective at the close of business on August 24, 2004. Trends in Our Business The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1991 requires landfills to install expensive liners and other equipment to control leaching toxics. Due to the increased costs and expertise required to run landfills under this Act, many small, local landfills closed during the 1990's. Larger regional landfills were built requiring increased logistics costs for the waste haulers. 22 In addition, state and federal governments have continued to increase the pressure on the industry to improve its recycling percentages. California currently mandates one of the highest standards in the United States by requiring 50% of all incoming MSW to be diverted from landfills. We believe that the trend in state law throughout the U.S. is to migrate toward the California standard of requiring 50% of all MSW to be diverted from landfills. We expect that the resale price of our products, including wetlap pulp, aluminum, plastic, steel and tin will be tied to commodity markets. The resale and market demand for these materials can be volatile, which could significantly impact our results of operations. Due in part to increasing demands for packaging material from China and India, the demand is expected to increase in the future. High prices for hydrocarbon-based fuels have lead to increasing market interest in renewable fuel sources such as ethanol. Investment into corn-based ethanol production facilities is increasing in the U.S. Research and development investment spending is also increasing for technologies and processes which can convert cellulose biomass into ethanol and other fuels. We believe this may be a promising area for potential investment by our company. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, impairment of long-lived assets, including finite lived intangible assets, accrued liabilities and certain expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements: Basis of Presentation Our consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We are a new enterprise in the development stage as defined by Statement No. 7 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, since we have derived no significant revenues from our activities to date. The consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $3,078,917 compared to a net loss of $2,496,188 for the year ended December 31, 2004, and we had a net loss from inception to December 31, 2005 of $6,739,073. We expect to continue to incur substantial additional costs and capital expenditures. We recently completed a $25 million private placement of equity securities. Based on our current estimates, we believe that our current cash will sustain operations until at least December 2008, based on our current expected burn rate, exclusive of significant capital expenditures that will be necessary in order to construct additional facilities. 23 Amendment and Restatement On July 7, 2006, we filed an amended 10-KSB/A amending our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, originally filed March 30, 2006, as amended, restating our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 included therein. Interim Financial Statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. Revenue Recognition Revenue for receiving MSW is recognized when the MSW is delivered. Revenue for products sold are recognized when the product is delivered to the customer. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fixed Assets Machinery and Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful asset lives or for leasehold improvements or equipment installed in our Anaheim plant, over the remaining life of the lease, whichever is shorter. We completed the construction of our initial plan in Anaheim, California early in the second quarter of 2006. We capitalized all costs directly associated with developing the plant, including interest and labor, throughout the construction period. We placed into service and began depreciating the assets related to this facility in the second quarter of 2006. Intangibles Intangible assets are recorded at cost. At December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our only intangible asset was our sub-license to our technology. On May 1, 2006, we acquired the patent to this technology. We plan to continue to exploit the technology covered by the patent through the sublicense from the original licensee, BPI. We began amortizing these intangible assets during the second quarter of 2006 upon completion of our first facility, on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the license. Our policy regarding intangible assets is to review such intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the review indicates that intangible assets are not recoverable (i.e. the carrying amount is more than the future projected undiscounted cash flows), their carrying amount would be reduced to fair value. We carried no goodwill on our books at either December 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004. Further, during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 we had no material impairment to our intangible asset. Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred. 24 Stock-Based Compensation During the fourth quarter of 2004, we adopted SFAS No. 123 entitled, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" retroactively to our inception. Accordingly, we expensed the compensation cost for the options and warrants issued based on their fair value at their grant dates. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payments." The adoption had no material effect on our financial statements. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Our Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock has been classified as mezzanine equity. It has been classified out of stockholders equity because it is redeemable at the end of five years, at the option of the holder. It has not been classified as a liability because the conversion feature makes it a "conditional" obligation rather then an "unconditional" obligation. Quarterly Results of Operations The following table sets forth our unaudited quarterly results of operations for each of the quarters in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the three months ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. The information for each of these periods has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus. This information includes all adjustments, which consist only of normal and recurring adjustments that management considers necessary for the fair presentation of such data. 25

Our quarterly results of operations have varied in the past and are likely to do so again in the future. As such, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance. Results of Operations Comparison of the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 We completed construction of our first facility early in the second quarter of 2006. During the second quarter of 2006 we commissioned the equipment and performed plant start-up procedures. Revenues Prior to the second quarter of 2006, we did not generate any revenue. During the second quarter of 2006 we recorded revenue of approximately $14,000 from the sale of metals and aluminum separated from the processed MSW during the start-up phase. We did not sell any unbleached fiber, "wetlap," during this period. We shipped approximately 60 tons of wetlap to potential customers free of charge in accordance with our letters of intent with these potential customers for testing purposes. We expect to generate only minimal revenue through the remainder of 2006. We did not generate any operating revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2005. Expenses Prior to the second quarter of 2006, we had no operations and consequently no cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold during the second quarter of 2006 comprised of disposal of rejects of $14,247, plant operating expenses of $664,809 and depreciation of $595,346, were related to costs incurred during the start-up phase of our first facility in Anaheim, California and are not indicative of the cost of goods sold that we expect to incur going forward. General and administrative expenses of $2,006,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by approximately $436,000 compared to the same period in 2005 primarily due to increases in employee option expense due to grants made to employees and directors in the fourth quarter of 2005 and legal and accounting fees related to additional SEC filings. 26 Interest expense of $274,616 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 related to interest on our senior secured debt, which was issued in November 2005 and February 2006. All of the senior secured debt was extinguished in May 2006. Financing expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was comprised of: (a) $1,647,250 attributable to the value of warrants issued to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock for their consent to issue additional senior secured debt and agreement to waive certain of their veto rights and contractual rights to facilitate our financing which occurred in the first quarter of 2006; (b) the unamortized warrant value and offering costs of $1,593,768 related to the senior secured debt expensed upon the early extinguishment of the debt which occurred in the second quarter of 2006; and (c) the change in the fair value of $4,201,418 of the conversion feature of the Series A Preferred Stock due to the modification of its conversion price as a result of the application of an anti-dilution adjustment and the change in fair value of the warrants issued to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock which occurred in the second quarter of 2006. Change in fair value of warrant liability of $135,642 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 relates to the fair value of warrants to purchase common stock issued with registration rights as part of our Series A Preferred Stock offering in 2005. In accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, the fair value of the warrants is required to be recorded as a liability until we satisfy specified registration requirements. Comparison of Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 During 2005, we continued research on the licensed process and the intended use of the products from that process, development of our business plan, construction of our first facility in Anaheim, CA and capital raising activities. Revenues We did not generate any operating revenues in fiscal 2005 or 2004. Expenses General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.4 million in 2005 primarily due to increases in employee-related expenses, rent and consulting fees. Employee-related expenses increased by approximately $1,000,000 in 2005 due to salaries of approximately $650,000 related to the hiring of additional staff as we prepared for the opening of our first facility, amortization of employee stock option expense of approximately $350,000, travel due to increased business activities of $90,000 and relocation expense related to the hiring of additional staff of approximately $75,000. Rent increased by approximately $122,000 due to the payment of 12 months' rent in 2005 versus only four months' rent in 2004. Professional and consulting fees increased by approximately $100,000 in 2005 due primarily to the costs associated with complying with SEC reporting requirements as a result of becoming a reporting company in August 2004. Interest income (expense) Interest income (expense) changed by approximately $128,000, from an expense of $65,000 in 2004 to income of $63,000 in 2005, primarily as a result of the cash received and invested from the sale of our common stock, preferred stock and senior debt. Change in fair value of warrant liabilities Change in fair value of warrant liabilities of approximately $709,000 in 2005 relates to the fair value adjustment of warrants to purchase common stock issued with registration rights as part of our preferred stock offering in 2005 in accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. The change in fair value represents the change in the stock price from the beginning of the period compared to the stock price at the end of the period. 27 Comparison of Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 During 2004, we continued research on the licensed process and the intended use of the products from that process, continued the development of our business plan, designed and began construction of our first facility in Anaheim, CA and continued raising capital. Revenues We did not generate any operating revenues in fiscal 2004 or 2003. Expenses Research and development expenses increased by $75,758 to $284,587 in 2004 compared to 2003 due to additional research done by BPI to continue to improve the system in accordance with the license agreement. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $2.8 million to $2,146,407 in 2004 compared to 2003, as a result of a number of factors. Salaries increased by approximately $350,000 to $683,969 in 2004 compared to 2003 due to our head count increasing from 3 to 7 employees, including the hiring of two officers as we continued to prepare to open our first facility. Professional fees increased by $380,343 to $433,853 in 2004 compared to 2003 due to business development consulting of $275,000 and increased accounting fees of $100,000 due to SEC reporting requirements. Legal fees increased $331,781 to $346,705 in 2004 compared to 2003 due to the two mergers during 2004, the lease negotiations with Taormina Industries, the license modifications and SEC reporting requirements. Rent increased $80,661 to $128,660 in 2004 compared to 2003 primary due to the lease in Anaheim with Taormina Industries. The litigation settlement of $150,000 in 2004 reflects the settlement of litigation pursuant to which we agreed to pay a total of $150,000 over a 12 month period. Pursuant to a consulting agreement entered into by us in February 2003 with Liviakis Financial Communications, Inc. ("Liviakis"), Liviakis agreed to assist us in various investor relation support activities. As consideration for such services, we issued Liviakis and certain of its principles the right to acquire membership interests in WSI, which interests converted into warrants to acquire a total of 350,000 shares of the common stock of Old WWT (prior to the merger of Old WWT into a subsidiary of VPTI). Investor relations expense of $172,000 in 2004 relates to the amortization of this stock compensation to Liviakis. We began amortizing the value of these warrants, $459,322, on March 25, 2004, the date the definitive merger agreement with VPTI was announced (see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements), over 24 months, the term of the consulting agreement. The contract did not require any services or fees after March 25, 2006. Liquidity and Capital Resources; Contractual Commitments
December 31, June 30, -------------------------------------- ------------------------- 2003 2004 2005 2005 2006 --------- ----------- ------------ ----------- ----------- Cash $ 167,000 $ 1,128,000 $ 2,864,000 $ 6,033,000 $19,350,000 Cash (used in) operating activities (745,000) (1,890,000) (3,108,000) (1,557,000) (2,194,000) Cash (used in) investing activities (12,000) (3,982,000) (11,628,000) (5,923,000) (3,071,000) Cash provided by financing activities 923,000 6,832,000 16,472,000 12,385,000 21,752,000
From 2003 through the second quarter of 2006, we were in the development stage and in the process of constructing our first facility. Consequently, our revenue during this period was immaterial. 28 Cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was comprised of research and development and general and administrative expenses. The increase in cash used in operating activities from the six months ended June 30, 2005 to the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to an increase in personnel and utility costs associated with the commissioning of our first facility during the second quarter of 2006. Cash used in investing activities decreased from the six month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2006 as our facility was completed at the beginning of the second quarter of 2006. Cash provided by financing activities increased during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily as a result of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock for approximately $20 million during the second quarter of 2006 compared to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock during the second quarter of 2005 for approximately $9.5 million. Cash used in operating activities during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 was comprised of research and development and general and administrative expenses. The increase in cash used in operating activities from the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2004 was primarily related to our ramp-up toward operations in 2006. The increase in cash used in investing activities in 2005 as compared to 2004 related primarily to the construction of our first facility in 2006. The increase in cash provided by financing activities in 2005 as compared to 2004 was primarily due to the issuance of our Series A Preferred Stock during the second quarter of 2005. The increase in cash used in operating activities from the year ended December 31, 2004 to the year ended December 31, 2003 was primarily related to the increase in general and administrative personnel and activities in 2004 as we ramped up construction of our first facility. The increase in cash used in investing activities in 2004 compared to 2003 was also primarily related to the ramp up of construction that occurred in 2004. The increase in cash provided by financing activities in 2004 as compared to 2003 was primarily related to the a series of private placements of our common stock in 2004. As of June 30, 2006, we had cash on hand of approximately $19.3 million. We estimate that our cash will sustain operations through approximately December 2008, based on our current expected burn rate, exclusive of the significant costs to construct additional facilities, if we choose to do so. Contractual Commitments As of December 31, 2005, the scheduled maturities of our long-term contractual obligations were as follows:
Payments Due by Period ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Less than 1 year 1-3 Years 4-5 Years After 5 Years Total ---------------- ---------- ---------- ------------- ---------- Operating leases $241,937 $ 572,400 $ 381,600 $492,900 $1,688,837 Long-term debt, including the current portion (1) 3,191,811 3,191,811 Other long-term liabilities reflected on the balance sheet 618,654 618,654 Total 241,937 3,764,211 1,000,254 492,900 5,499,382
(1) The long-term debt was paid in full in May 2006. We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, and we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. In addition, we have no financial guarantees, debt or lease agreements or other arrangements that could trigger a requirement for an early payment or that could change the value of our assets. 29 We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business or operations. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital to fund operations. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. To achieve our objectives, we maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and investments in a variety of securities of high credit quality. As of June 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents and short term investments of $19.3 million. A portion of our investments may be subject to interest rate risk and could fall in value if market interest rates increase. However, because our investments are short-term in duration, we believe our exposure to interest rate risk is not significant and a 1% movement in market interest rates would not have a significant impact on the total value of out portfolio. We actively monitor changes in interest rates. We did not have any financial instruments sensitive to changes in interest rates at December 31, 2005 or at June 30, 2006. We currently do not conduct any business outside of the Unites Sates and therefore are not subject to risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. If and when we begin to generate substantive revenues form our operations, we anticipate that we will be exposed to price changes in the commodity goods we sell in the ordinary course of our business, which changes could have a significant impact on our results of operations. We may in the future use financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in commodity prices. New Accounting Pronouncements SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This statement provides for the following: 1. Clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133; 2. Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; 3. Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and 4. Amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. Statement 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on our financial statements. SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. Among other changes, Statement 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a "restatement." The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. Management believes that this statement has not had, and going forward will not have a significant impact on our financial statements. 30 SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. The new FASB rule requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply Statement 123R as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted Statement 123R during the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Issue 05-8, "Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature" "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments," provide guidance on how companies should bifurcate convertible debt issued with a beneficial conversion feature into a liability and an equity component. For income tax purposes, such an instrument is only recorded as a liability. A question has been raised as to whether a basis difference results from the issuance of convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature and, if so, whether the basis difference is a temporary difference. This issue has been added to the EITF's agenda to address these questions. Consensus was agreed to at the September 15, 2005 meeting and ratified by the FASB at the meeting on September 28, 2005. We account for the income tax consequences of the beneficial conversion feature of our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock consistent with this consensus. Issue 05-7, "Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Securities and Related Issues" EITF Issue No. 96-19, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments," provides guidance on whether modifications of debt result in an extinguishment of that debt. In certain situations, companies may change the terms of a conversion option as part of a debt modification, which may result in the following circumstances: (a) the change in the conversion option's terms causes the fair value of the conversion option to change but does not result in the modification meeting the condition in Issue 96-19 that would require the modification to be accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, and (b) the change in the conversion option's terms did not result in separate accounting for the conversion option under Statement 133. When both of these circumstances exist, questions have arisen regarding whether (a) the modification to the conversion option, which changes its fair value, should affect subsequent interest expense recognition related to the debt and (b) a beneficial conversion feature related to a debt modification should be recognized by the borrower if the modification increases the intrinsic value of the debt. This issue has been added to the EITF's agenda to address these questions. Consensus was agreed to at the September 15, 2005 meeting and ratified by the FASB at the meeting on September 28, 2005. Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on our financial statements. EITF Issue 05-2, The Meaning of "Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument" in EITF Issue 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock" Paragraph 4 of Issue 00-19 states that "the requirements of paragraphs 12-32 of this issue do not apply if the hybrid contract is a conventional convertible debt instrument in which the holder may only realize the value of the conversion option by exercising the option and receiving the entire proceeds in a fixed number of shares or the equivalent amount of cash (at the discretion of the issuer)". The term "conventional convertible debt instrument" is not defined in Issue 00-19 and, as a result, questions have arisen regarding when a convertible debt instrument should be considered "conventional" for purposes of Issue 00-19. A question has also arisen related to whether conventional convertible preferred stock should be treated similar to conventional convertible debt. This issue was added to the EITF's agenda to address these questions. Consensus was reached at the June 15-16, 2005 meeting and was ratified by the FASB at the June 29, 2005 meeting. Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on our financial statements. 31 BUSINESS Company Overview We are a development stage company formed to convert RMSW into valuable, reusable commodities through the application of conventional and licensed patented and proprietary technology. We recently completed construction of a processing facility in Anaheim, California to convert RMSW into valuable, reusable commodities through the application of conventional and licensed patented and proprietary technology. Our first operating facility is located in a leased facility on the campus of the regional transfer facility in Anaheim, California of Taormina Industries, a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Services, Inc. We have entered into a long-term contract with Taormina to supply us with RMSW. Taormina is expected to deliver RMSW to us after sorting the MSW in its MRF. Currently, the sorting process typically consists of the following steps: (1) MSW enters Taormina's MRF from curbside and commercial collection vehicles where it is sorted to remove non-recyclable items such as bulky items; (2) the remaining waste is then transported via conveyor lines where machines and laborers remove salable commodities such as aluminum, steel, and cardboard; and (3) the residual waste, or RMSW, is then typically removed and deposited in a landfill. Our solution provides for the RMSW to be delivered to our facility for further processing via a patented and proprietary technology sub-licensed by us. This technology employs a process generally known as "Pressurized Steam Classification". The type of pressurized steam classification that we plan to use utilizes a sealed rotating vessel to combine steam, heat, pressure and agitation to change the waste's physical composition. This Pressurized Steam Classification process converts paper, cardboard, and paper packaging found in MSW into a cellulose biomass fiber-containing material that can be screened and cleaned using conventional and non-conventional pulp recycling equipment. We anticipate selling commercial quantities of the resulting material, known as "wetlap pulp," as a raw material for making new lower grade paper stocks such as linerboard, corrugating medium, and packaging. We also anticipate selling other inorganic, recyclable materials such as aluminum, steel, and tin captured in the process, into commodities markets. We may also pursue other value-added products and commodity products with the cellulose biomass from our process. Such products could include, but not be limited to, the following: (a) higher value paper, (b) building products, (c) cellulose insulation, (d) renewable fuels, such as ethanol, and (e) specialty chemicals. We have signed letters of intent with each of Smurfit-Stone and Newark Pacific Paperboard, large box makers, for the sale, at a discount to published commodity market prices, of up to 40-60 tons per day of the wetlap pulp that we expect to produce once our process is operational. Both letters require us to provide a specified amount of fiber to the box makers for testing, at no cost. Any proposed contractual relationship is conditioned upon the box maker's successful testing of this fiber. We have also entered into a letter of intent with Weyerhaeuser Company which documents discussions pursuant to which Weyerhaeuser has expressed an interest in entering into a three year agreement with us for the purchase of 60-90 tons per day of recycled fiber at a price based on a discount to published commodity market prices. The obligation of Weyerhaeuser to enter into a definitive agreement is conditioned upon its determination that the fiber provided to it is suitable for use in specified applications. The letters do not require the potential customers to purchase any minimum amount of pulp and are non-exclusive. We have not yet provided the large quantities of pulp for testing to any of these potential customers and therefore cannot yet ascertain whether any of the large volume tests will be successful or when, if ever, we will enter into definitive agreements. It is expected that after we process the RMSW, we will have some residual solid waste by-product that is not saleable. Our contract with Taormina requires that they haul away such non-saleable material and that we pay to Taormina an amount equal to the tipping fee that they paid us in connection with the initial delivery to us of such waste. 32 Our initial facility, which we recently completed construction of at Taormina's regional transfer facility in Anaheim, California was designed to be capable of processing up to 500 tons per day of RMSW. We plan to build a second plant that will be capable of processing up to 2,000 tons per day of RMSW, at which point we would have the capacity to process an estimated 2,500 tons per day, the total amount of RMSW deliverable by Taormina under our first agreement. Our business strategy includes the construction of such larger plants at other sites, which is expected to enable us to spread our overhead costs across a larger revenue base. Our ability to successfully complete construction of any additional facilities is subject to a number of contingencies, including our ability to raise sufficient capital to fund these activities. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will complete the construction of any additional facilities, or that our initial facility or any such additional facilities will result in profitable operations. We also may seek to acquire additional intellectual property useful in the field through mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and licensing arrangements. Corporate History of Reverse Merger We were formed as a result of two mergers that occurred in 2004. First, in March 2004, World Waste of America, Inc. ("WWA") merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Waste Solutions, Inc. ("WSI"), a California corporation. Cagan McAfee Capital Partners and its affiliates were the controlling shareholders of WSI. As a result of this merger, WSI continued as the surviving corporation, assumed the operations and business plan of WWA, the stockholders of WWA became stockholders of WSI, and WSI changed its name to World Waste Technologies, Inc. ("Old WWT"). In March 2004, Old WWT entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Voice Powered Technologies International, Inc., a California corporation ("VPTI"), to merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of VPTI. VPTI was a publicly traded company trading under the stock symbol VPTI.OB. VPTI had no material assets, liabilities or operations. The merger of Old WWT with VPTI's wholly owned subsidiary was completed on August 24, 2004. Pursuant to the merger, Old WWT's shareholders became the holders of approximately 95% of the outstanding shares of VPTI. Upon completion of this merger, VPTI changed its name to World Waste Technologies, Inc. VPTI was incorporated on June 21, 1985 and provided voice recognition and voice activated products. We currently do not plan to conduct any business other than operations heretofore conducted or contemplated to be conducted by WWT. Because the shareholders of Old WWT became the controlling shareholders of VPTI after the merger, Old WWT was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and therefore the transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the historical financial statements presented are those of Old WWT. Additionally, the prior operating results of VPTI are not indicative of our future operations, and none of the assets or liabilities on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 relate to VPTI prior to the merger. Since the formation of WWA in 2002, our efforts have been principally devoted to research and development activities, construction of our initial facility, raising capital, and recruiting additional personnel and advisors. To date, we have not generated any significant revenues. We do not anticipate generating significant revenue until sometime in 2007, if ever. Our stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol WDWT. Our Planned Revenue Pursuant to our current business model, we anticipate our product and services will result in three distinct revenue streams. First, under the terms of our agreement with Taormina, Taormina has agreed to pay a "tipping fee" to us for each ton of RMSW delivered to and processed by us. The initial tipping fee is to be paid per ton (payable monthly) of "Net Processed Waste" (defined as the total RMSW delivered to us less the total residual/non-processable waste removed by WWT for handling and disposal by Taormina). The tipping fee is subject to increase or decrease based upon changes in certain county landfill disposal fees Taormina is required to pay. Second, our process is expected to mechanically sort and collect standard recyclable materials such as scrap steel, cans, and aluminum. We expect to collect and sell these materials to Taormina for resale to commodities buyers. Third, our process is expected to recover a cellulose biomass, which we plan to refine into unbleached fiber in the form of wet-lap pulp suitable for sale to paper and board manufacturing facilities for incorporation into their products. The cellulose fiber is currently anticipated to be suitable for unbleached grades of paper, which would include corrugating medium. We may plan to pursue additional markets and products for our cellulose biomass and other residual materials, such as (a) higher value paper, (b) building products, (c) cellulose insulation, (d) renewable fuels, such as ethanol, and (e) specialty chemicals. 33 Our Anticipated Markets Our plan is to provide processing services to other companies and municipalities in the MSW industry throughout the country. According to information currently posted on the National Solid Waste Management Association's website (the most recent publicly available information on this topic that we are aware of), the MSW industry in the United States accounts for approximately $43 billion in spending and is dominated by large MSW processors such as Waste Management, Inc., Allied Waste Industries, Inc. and Republic Services, Inc. Many other smaller regional companies and municipalities are also in the waste handling business. Many state governments in the United States mandate that certain percentages of all MSW be recycled. The State of California, where our headquarters and our Anaheim facility are located, currently mandates the highest standard in the United States by requiring that 50% of all incoming MSW be diverted from landfills. We believe that the trend in state law throughout the country is to migrate toward the California standard of requiring 50% of all MSW to be diverted from landfills. Accordingly, we anticipate providing our processing services to MSW handlers looking for efficient ways to increase the percentage of their recycled MSW. Our Anaheim facility is also expected to allow us to operate our Pressurized Steam Classification process to produce a cellulose biomass fiber containing material, which once screened and cleaned using conventional paper recycling equipment, is known as "unbleached fiber" or "wetlap pulp." This wetlap pulp can be sold as a raw material for making new lower-grade paper stocks such as linerboard, corrugating medium, and packaging. The cellulose biomass can also be used to produce ethanol, speciality chemicals, synthetic gas, and other energy products, building products and other industrial products. Our process is expected to mechanically sort and collect other inorganic standard recyclable materials such as scrap steel, tin cans, and aluminum cans and scrap. These materials are expected to be collected and sold to Taormina. Sales and Marketing We currently plan to market our services to waste handlers, waste collectors and municipalities, focusing on higher recycling rates, with the goal of lowering use of the landfills and creating a cost savings for these customers. We also plan to market our wetlap pulp to paperboard and packaging mills as a raw material for making new lower-grade paper stocks such as linerboard, corrugating medium, and packaging, among other things. In addition, we plan to sell the other inorganic standard recyclable materials such as scrap steel, cans, and aluminum to Taormina for bailing and selling in the marketplace. Other than the Taormina agreement which requires Taormina to provide us with up to 2,500 tons of waste per day, 500 tons for the initial facility and 2,000 tons for an anticipated second facility, and to pay us for every ton of RMSW that we process, as well as pay us 90% of the price Taormina receives for standard recyclable materials we collect in our process, we currently do not have any agreements in place to market any of our products or services. We currently expect to establish an in-house marketing and sales program to promote our services. Alternatively, we may enter into strategic alliances with larger companies. We currently expect that our services and products will be marketed in the U.S. We may also pursue specified international opportunities. Although they are not definitive, binding contracts, we have signed three non-binding letters of intent with companies that are interested in purchasing our wetlap pulp. 34 The Taormina Agreement In June 2003, we entered into a 10-year contract, with Taormina Industries, a wholly owned division of Republic Services, Inc. The Taormina Recycle Agreement requires Taormina to deliver up to 500 tons of RMSW per day to us for processing at our Anaheim facility on the campus of Taormina in Anaheim, CA. Under the terms of the Taormina agreement, Taormina is required to pay us a tipping fee per ton of RMSW delivered to us. The second phase of the Taormina agreement calls for us to build a 2,000-tons per day plant in the Orange County, California-area. The Taormina agreement also grants Taormina a right of first refusal to participate in potential future projects in an additional 10 counties throughout California where Republic Services has operations. Our success is highly dependent on the ability of both parties to the contract to fulfill their obligations, of which there is no assurance. The Taormina agreement was amended twice to allow us additional time to complete all permitting, approvals and construction and to occupy the facility. We completed the primary construction of this facility early in the second quarter of 2006. In April 2006, Taormina Industries, LLC accepted our completion and commencement notification in accordance with the lease agreement. In the agreement, we represented to Taormina that the residual waste we deliver to them would not exceed 40%, by weight, of the associated MSW delivered to us by Taormina. Currently, we are not in compliance with this representation because the waste that we are delivering to Taormina contains too high a quantity of residual streams of waste that Taormina must send to landfill. Due to the start-up nature of our operations, we have not yet determined the most efficient method of resolving this issue. Potential solutions include identifying third party sources willing to accept these residual streams, and/or making changes to our process. Even if we are unable to resolve this problem we believe that the waste we deliver under the agreement will be acceptable to Taormina. However, until we are able to remedy this situation, Taormina could attempt to re negotiate or terminate the agreement or refuse to accept any waste from us. The Taormina agreement also provides that Taormina's obligations are subject to our ability to maintain compliance with all necessary permits and that Taormina may suspend delivery of MSW to us at any time if it determines that our operations would threaten to place Taormina's operations in non-compliance with its own permits or other governmental approvals.. Competition We expect to compete with numerous other products, technologies and services that are in use currently or are subsequently developed by companies, academic institutions and research institutions. These competitors consist of both large established companies as well as small, single product or service development stage companies. We expect competition from these companies as they develop different and/or novel approaches to the processing of MSW. Some of these approaches may directly compete with the products or services that we are currently developing. According to the July 17, 2006 issue of Waste News (the most recent publically available information on this topic that we are aware of), three companies dominate the MSW industry in the United States: Waste Management, Inc. ($13.1 billion in revenues); Allied Waste Industries, Inc. ($5.73 billion in revenues); and Republic Services, Inc. ($2.86 billion in revenues). There are also many smaller regional companies and municipalities in the waste handling business. Although we do not view MSW haulers as competitors, but rather as consumers for the services we plan to provide, such haulers would be competitors to the extent they make capital investments in material recovery facilities, incineration, composting, or landfills rather than outsourcing through us. We believe that the primary competitive factors in our industry are price, reliability of service, and quality of recycling programs. Corrugated packaging and mixed waste paper companies may also be a source of competition for us. Our process converts MSW into a sanitized cellulose fiber containing material, which once screened and cleaned using conventional paper recycling equipment, is known as "wetlap pulp." Wetlap pulp can be used by many paper mills in the manufacture of corrugating cardboard and associated packaging materials and other products. These paper mills also use other feedstocks such as used cardboard, mixed waste paper and virgin pulp in their mill processes. To the extent that companies which provide other feedstocks which may include MRFs, meet or exceed the demand of the mills for feedstock, they could have a negative impact on the demand for our wetlap. 35 Several companies have developed businesses burning MSW to generate energy. Others have focused on converting MSW to recyclables, ethanol or other beneficial uses. These companies may compete against us for MSW supply contracts. Regulation Our business is subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental, health, safety and transportation laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are administered by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and various other federal, state and local environmental, zoning, transportation, land use, health and safety agencies in the United States. Many of these agencies regularly examine our operations to monitor compliance with these laws and regulations and have the power to enforce compliance, obtain injunctions or impose civil or criminal penalties in case of violations. Because a major component of our business will be the processing of solid waste in an environmentally sound manner, a portion of our capital expenditures is related, either directly or indirectly, to environmental protection measures, including compliance with federal, state or local provisions that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment. Although we only incurred approximately $57,000 of expenses relating to our compliance with environmental laws in 2005, we anticipate that there will be significant costs once the plant is operational and that there will be significant costs associated with sighting, design, operations, monitoring, site maintenance, corrective actions, and financial assurance of each facility that we plan to operate going forward. In connection with our development or expansion of a facility, we must often spend considerable time, effort and money to obtain or maintain necessary required permits and approvals. There cannot be any assurances that we will be able to obtain or maintain necessary governmental approvals. Once obtained, operating permits are subject to modification and revocation by the issuing agency. Compliance with these and any future regulatory requirements could require us to make significant capital and operating expenditures. Although we were able to obtain all of our environmental permits that were necessary in order for us to complete the construction of our initial facility in Anaheim, California, we cannot assure you that we will successfully retain these permits, or that we will obtain or retain the permits required to operate this or any additional facilities we may seek to construct. The primary United States federal statutes affecting our business are summarized below: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended ("RCRA"), regulates handling, transporting and disposing of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes and delegates authority to the states to develop programs to ensure the safe disposal of solid wastes. In 1991, the EPA issued its final regulations under Subtitle D of RCRA, which set forth minimum federal performance and design criteria for solid waste landfills. These regulations must be implemented by the states, although states can impose requirements that are more stringent than the Subtitle D standards. We expect to incur costs in complying with these standards in the ordinary course of our operations. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), which is also known as Superfund, provides for federal authority to respond directly to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances into the environment. CERCLA's primary means for addressing such releases is to impose liability for cleanup of disposal sites upon current and former site owners and operators, generators of the hazardous substances at the site and transporters who selected the disposal site and transported substances to the site. Liability under CERCLA is not dependent on the intentional disposal of hazardous substances; it can be based upon the release or threatened release, even as a result of lawful, unintentional and non-negligent action, of hazardous substances as the term is defined by CERCLA and other applicable statutes and regulations. 36 The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (the "Clean Water Act") regulates the discharge of pollutants into streams, rivers, groundwater, or other surface waters from a variety of sources. If run-off from our operations may be discharged into surface waters, the Clean Water Act would require us to apply for and obtain discharge permits, conduct sampling and monitoring, and, under certain circumstances, reduce the quantity of pollutants in those discharges. In addition, if a landfill or a transfer station discharges wastewater through a sewage system to a publicly owned treatment works, the facility must comply with discharge limits imposed by the treatment works. The Clean Water Act provides for civil, criminal and administrative penalties for violations of its provisions. The Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended, provides for increased federal, state and local regulation of the emission of air pollutants. The Clean Air Act would apply to certain of our planned operations, including solid waste landfills and waste collection vehicles. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended ("OSHA"), establishes certain employer responsibilities, including maintenance of a workplace free of recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious injury, compliance with standards promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and various record keeping, disclosure and procedural requirements. There are also various state and local regulations that affect our operations. Sometimes states' regulations are stricter than comparable federal laws and regulations. Many states, provinces and local jurisdictions have enacted "fitness" laws that allow the agencies that have jurisdiction over waste services contracts or permits to deny or revoke these contracts or permits based on the applicant's or permit holder's compliance history. Some states, provinces and local jurisdictions go further and consider the compliance history of the parent, subsidiaries or affiliated companies, in addition to the applicant or permit holder. These laws authorize the agencies to make determinations of an applicant or permit holder's fitness to be awarded a contract to operate, and to deny or revoke a contract or permit because of unfitness, unless there is a showing that the applicant or permit holder has been rehabilitated through the adoption of various operating policies and procedures put in place to assure future compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Research and Development During 2005 and 2004, we spent an aggregate of $534,647 on research and development activities. Intellectual Property On June 21, 2002, we entered into a U.S. technology sub-license agreement with Bio-Products International, Inc., an Alabama corporation, with respect to several patent claims and other related intellectual property relating to the methods and processes developed by the University of Alabama in Huntsville ("UAH"). The technology was designed to provide for the processing and separation of material contained in MSW. Temperatures of several hundred degrees sterilize the material and the pressure and agitation cause a pulping action. A combination is designed to result in a large volume reduction, yielding a high-density cellulose biomass product. The significant portion of the material is a biomass cellulose with significant papermaking fiber content that may be sold to container board plants after a screening and cleaning process. The most recent patent includes the capturing of all Volatile Organic Compounds and was granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in October 2001. (See Note 15 of the accompanying audited financial statements.) On May 1, 2006, we purchased the patent for this technology, subject to existing licenses, from UAH, for a payment of $100,000 in cash and 167,000 shares of our common stock. We continue to exploit the technology covered by this patent through our sub-license from BPI. By virtue of our acquisition of the patent, we now own all right, title and interest in the patent, subject to BPI's existing license, which in turn continues to sublicense the technology to us. 37 Under the sub-license agreement, we paid an upfront sub-license fee of $350,000 and currently pay a monthly fee for technical services of $20,000. We are also required to pay a daily per-ton royalty based on the tons of waste processed utilizing the technology of $0.50 for the first 2,000 tons processed, $1.00 for the next 8,000 tons processed and $1.50 for any additional tons processed. We also pay royalties based on the sales price of fiber products recovered from the process of 2.5% of the gross sales price in excess of $10.00 per ton. The sub-license agreement between us and BPI covers technology developed by BPI, its affiliates, and UAH, and generally covers technology relating to the volume reduction, separation, recovery, treatment, recycling and utilization of various components of waste materials. Other than as described below, we hold exclusive rights to this technology in all applications throughout the United States. BPI retained the exclusive right to utilize this technology in Arkansas, and the non-exclusive right to utilize technology to construct up to four facilities in any of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and/or South Carolina. In addition, BPI retained the exclusive right to utilize the technology in the United States for applications in which the cellulosic by-product of the process utilizing the technology is either used directly as a fuel source or converted into an end product for energy production; however, BPI agreed to grant us a sub-license for such applications on a site-specific basis upon our request. Accordingly, BPI may grant third parties the right to use the technology for the production of marketable solid combustion fuel end products. We hold no rights under the technology outside of the U.S. By acquiring title to the patent from UAH, we effectively reduced the royalties payable by us to BPI by approximately 9%. In addition, by becoming the patent holder ourselves, we are no longer at risk of losing the right to practice the technology claimed in the patent in the event that BPI were to breach its agreement with the patent holder. The license extends until the expiration date of the last patent issued to BPI covering the technology, which is expected to occur on October 23, 2021. In its license with us, BPI is required to continue to make certain payments to us to maintain exclusivity. Employees As of October 27, 2006, we had 18 full-time employees. There are four members in our executive management team and 14 persons employed in operations and administration. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. We have not experienced work stoppages and we believe that our relationship with our employees is good. Description of Property Our principal executive offices are in San Diego, California, where we lease approximately 1,400 square feet under a lease scheduled to expire on September 30, 2008, with monthly rental payments of $4,343. We recently completed construction of a plant on leased real property in Anaheim, California, which covers an approximately 30,000 square foot building and expires in July 2014. Base rent under this lease is $15,900 per month, subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments. Legal Proceedings In December 2003, Reid and Simi Jilek (the "Jileks") filed a complaint against Steve Racoosin (our former President), World Waste of California, Inc., World Waste International, Inc., and Environmental Technologies Corporation ("ETC") in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego, Central Judicial District, alleging breach of contract, securities violations, and fraud and seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief (the "Litigation"). The Jileks amended their complaint to eliminate the securities violations cause of action and in March 2004 filed a second amended complaint to name additional parties, Thomas L. Collins (our former CEO) and Darren Pederson, and to add additional causes of action of breach of the covenant of fair dealing, conspiracy, and specific performance for delivery of a warrant. The suit stems from an alleged oral and written arrangement providing for the rent of the Jileks' house to Mr. Racoosin with an option to buy the house, which option was to be exercised with warrants to purchase five percent (5%) of the shares of ETC. Mr. Racoosin vacated the premises in early January 2004 and the Jileks sold the house in 2004.

Our Compensation Committee determined to grant Mr. Rane a stock option with an exercise price of $2.70 per share in substitution for his previously granted stock option with an exercise price of $4.45 per share based upon its determination that the exercise price of $4.45 per share was substantially in excess of the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date, after taking into account the limited trading market for our common stock.

The 2004 Plan provides for the grant of options intended to qualify as incentive stock options or ISOs under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and options that are not intended to so qualify, which we refer to as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

Authorized Shares The total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2004 Plan is 2,000,000 (subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar capital change). If any option granted pursuant to the 2004 Plan terminates, expires, or is canceled or surrendered, in whole or in part, shares subject to the unexercised portion may again be issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the 2004 Plan. The shares acquired upon exercise of options granted under the 2004 Plan, will be authorized and unissued shares of common stock. As of October 27, 2006, options for 1,287,000 shares have been issued under the 2004 Plan at a weighted-average exercise price of $2.41. Administration The 2004 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors, which selects the eligible persons to whom options will be granted. The Compensation Committee also determines the number of shares of common stock subject to each option, the exercise price therefore and the periods during which options are exercisable. Further, the Compensation Committee interprets the provisions of the 2004 Plan and, subject to certain limitations, may amend the 2004 Plan. Each option granted under the 2004 Plan is be evidenced by a written agreement between the optionee and our company. Eligibility Options may be granted under the 2004 Plan to all employees (including officers), directors and certain consultants and advisors. Incentive stock options may be granted only to persons who are employees. Upon receiving grants of options, each holder of the options is required to enter into an option agreement with our company that contains the terms and conditions deemed necessary by the administrator of the plan. 47 Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation Messrs.

The rights accruing to any person under our bylaws and articles of incorporation do not exclude any other right to which any such person may lawfully be entitled, and we may indemnify or reimburse such person in any proper case, even though not specifically provided for by our bylaws or articles of incorporation. 48 Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The shares to be offered by the selling stockholders are "restricted" securities under applicable federal and state securities laws and are being registered under the Securities Act to give the selling stockholders the opportunity to publicly sell these shares. The registration of these shares does not require that any of the shares be offered or sold by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell all or a portion of their shares in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at prices then prevailing or related to the then current market price or at negotiated prices. The registered shares may be sold directly or through brokers or dealers, or in a distribution by one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best efforts basis. To the extent required, the names of any agent or broker-dealer and applicable commissions or discounts and any other required information with respect to any particular offer will be set forth in a prospectus supplement. Please see "Plan of Distribution." The selling stockholders and any agents or broker-dealers that participate with the selling stockholders in the distribution of registered shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the registered shares may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. No estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of our common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders after any sales made pursuant to this prospectus because the selling stockholders are not required to sell any of the shares being registered under this prospectus. The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of the selling stockholders. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible securities currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days, are deemed outstanding, including for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the option, warrant or convertible security, but not for purposes of computing the percentage of any other holder.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Each Selling Stockholder (the "Selling Stockholders") of our common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares: o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker dealer solicits purchasers; o block trades in which the broker dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o purchases by a broker dealer as principal and resale by the broker dealer for its account; o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; o privately negotiated transactions; o settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; o broker dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; o a combination of any such methods of sale; o through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), if available, rather than under this prospectus. Broker dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440. In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). 57 Upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement, if required, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. We will also file a copy of such arrangement as an exhibit to the post-effective amendment. The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each Selling Stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any written or oral agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders. We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with. Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale. 58 Each of First Montauk Securities Corp, Inc., Thomas Weisel Partners, Green Drake Capital Corp. and Chadbourn Securities Corp. is a registered broker dealer and NASD member firm, and served as placement agent in our recently completed private placement offering and received, in addition to cash commissions, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 348,400, 104,000, 152,800 and 238,480 shares of our common stock, respectively, with an exercise price of $2.75 per share. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part includes the shares underlying the warrants held by each of such placement agents. The warrants held by the placement agents expire on May 30, 2011. The shares of common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of placement agent warrants received by the placement agents are restricted from sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation or being the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part except transfers of the warrants to officers or partners of the placement agents as allowed under NASD Rule 2710 (g)(1) and (2). Each placement agent has indicated to us its willingness to act as selling agent on behalf of certain of the selling shareholders named in the prospectus under "Selling Stockholders." that purchased our privately placed securities. All shares sold, if any, on behalf of selling shareholders by any placement agent would be in transactions executed by such placement agent on an agency basis and commissions charged to its customers in connection with each transaction shall not exceed a maximum of 4% of the gross proceeds. None of the placement agents have an underwriting agreement with us and/or the selling shareholders and no selling shareholders are required to execute transactions through any placement agent. Further, other than their existing brokerage relationship as customers with the placement agents, no selling shareholder has any pre-arranged agreement with any placement agent to sell their securities through such placement agent. No NASD member firm may obtain in excess of 8% compensation under NASD Rule 2710 in connection with the resale of the securities by the selling shareholders. NASD Notice to Members 88-101 states that in the event a selling shareholder intends to sell any of the shares registered for resale in this prospectus through a member of the NASD participating in a distribution of our securities, such member is responsible for insuring that a timely filing is first made with the Corporate Finance Department of the NASD and disclosing to the NASD the following: o it intends to take possession of the registered securities or to facilitate the transfer of such certificates; o the complete details of how the selling shareholders shares are and will be held, including location of the particular accounts; o whether the member firm or any direct or indirect affiliates thereof have entered into, will facilitate or otherwise participate in any type of payment transaction with the selling shareholders, including details regarding any such transactions; and o in the event any of the securities offered by the selling shareholders are sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by any selling shareholder in a transaction that directly or indirectly involves a member firm of the NASD or any affiliates thereof, that prior to or at the time of said transaction the member firm will timely file all relevant documents with respect to such transaction(s) with the Corporate Finance Department of the NASD for review. We have advised the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. 59 Since our common stock is not listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, if the trading price of our common stock remains below $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock will continue to be subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For further discussion of these requirements, please see the section entitled "Risk Factors - You may have difficulty selling our shares because they are deemed 'penny stocks.'" CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In December 2003, we entered into an agreement, amended in March 2004, with Cagan McAfee Capital Partners, LLC ("CMCP"). The agreement provides for CMCP to provide advisory and consulting services and for an NASD broker dealer, Chadbourn Securities Inc. ("Chadbourn"), to provide investment banking services to us. The agreement calls for, among other things, our company to pay to CMCP a monthly advisory fee of $15,000, increased to $20,000 beginning in September 2004. The total professional fees paid to CMCP for the year ended December 31, 2005 for advisory services were $200,000. John Pimentel, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors, is a principal of CMCP. Chadbourn and Laird Q. Cagan, a registered representative of Chadbourn, acted as the placement agent (collectively, the "Placement Agent") for us in connection with the private placement of 3,923,370 shares of our common stock in 2004. In connection with those private placements, we paid the Placement Agent a commission of 8% of the price of all shares sold by it, or approximately $487,200. In addition, we paid the Placement Agent a non-accountable expense allowance (equal to 2% of the purchase price of the shares or approximately $90,000) and issued the Placement Agent, or its affiliates, warrants to purchase 392,337 of our common shares, at exercise prices between $1.00 and $2.50. Mr. Cagan is a significant shareholder of our company. During 2005, the Placement Agent acted as the placement agent for us in connection with the private placement of 1,354,800 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 338,700 shares of our common stock, the private placement of 4,075,600 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 407,560 shares of our common stock, and $4,015,000 aggregate principal amount of our senior secured promissory notes and warrants to purchase up to a total of 529,980 shares of our common stock. In connection with those private placements, we paid the Placement Agent a commission of approximately $961,550. In addition, we paid the Placement Agent a non-accountable expense allowance of $267,740 and issued the Placement Agent, or its affiliates, warrants to purchase 548,486 of our common shares, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Placement Agent acted as the placement agent in connection with the private placement of our senior secured promissory notes and warrants to purchase up to a total of 297,000 shares of our common tock and the private placement of 250,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of our common stock. In connection with those private placements, we paid the Placement Agent a commission of $538,550 and warrants to purchase 236,980 of our common stock, at an exercise prices of $2.50 per share. We believe that all of the transactions described above were made on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. We intend that all future transactions with affiliated persons will be approved by a majority of our Board of Directors, including a majority of the independent and disinterested outside directors on our Board of Directors, and will be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. 60 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. As of October 27, 2006, we had 25,217,071 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 4,599,290 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and 289,690 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Common Stock The holders of our common stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions per share with respect to the common stock when, as and if declared by our board of directors from funds legally available therefore. No holder of any shares of our common stock has a preemptive right to subscribe for any of our securities, nor are any common shares subject to redemption or convertible into other securities. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, and after payment of creditors and preferred stockholders, if any, the assets will be divided pro rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of our shares of common stock. All shares of our common stock now outstanding are fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote with respect to the election of any director or any other matter upon which stockholders are required or permitted to vote. Preferred Stock Under our articles of incorporation, our board of directors has the power, without further action by the holders of our common stock, to designate the relative rights and preferences of the preferred stock, and to issue the preferred stock in one or more series as designated by our board of directors. The designation of rights and preferences could include preferences as to liquidation, redemption and conversion rights, voting rights, dividends or other preferences, any of which may be dilutive of the interest of the holders of our common stock or the preferred stock of any other series. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company without further stockholder action and may adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of our common stock. Series A Preferred Stock Pursuant to a private placement on April 28, 2005 and May 9, 2005, we issued a total of 4,075,600 shares of a newly created series of preferred stock, designated as "8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Participating Preferred Stock." The Series A Preferred has the following rights, preferences and privileges: Dividends. Holders of Series A Preferred are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, payable quarterly in additional shares of Series A Preferred, at the rate of 8% per annum. This dividend rate was increased to 9% effective January 28, 2006 as a result of our failure to comply with certain registration rights provisions. The holders of the Series A Preferred are also entitled to fully participate in any dividends paid to the holders of our common stock on a common stock equivalent basis. To date, a total of 523,690 shares of Series A Preferred Stock has been issued as dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Voting Rights. Each share of Series A Preferred is entitled to that number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of our common stock into which it is convertible. In addition, so long as at least 50% of the shares of Series A Preferred remain outstanding (but prior to the "Operational Date," generally defined as if and when our initial plant in Anaheim, California first generates total operating cash flow of at least $672,000 for any consecutive three month period), we are prohibited from taking certain actions without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred, including, among other things, a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, a transfer or cancellation of our sub-license from our technology licensor, the making of certain restricted payments, the incurrence of any indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions), or a change in our principal business. Except as provided by law or as described below with respect to the election of directors, holders of our common stock and preferred stock otherwise vote together as a single class. 61 Board Change of Control. The holders of the Series A Preferred currently have the right to elect a majority of the members of our board of directors. This right will terminate, however, upon the first to occur of the Operational Date or the date on which less than 50% of the shares of Series A Preferred remain outstanding. Liquidation Rights. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company (including a sale of our company), the holders of Series A Preferred have the right to receive $2.50 per share (plus accrued but unpaid dividends), prior to and in preference over any liquidation payment on our common stock or any other class of preferred stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred. Following payment of the aforementioned liquidation preference, holders of the Series A Preferred are entitled to participate fully with the holders of our common stock on a common stock equivalent basis with respect to the distribution of any remaining assets. Redemption. The holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred have the option to require us to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred on the five year anniversary of issuance at a redemption price equal to $2.50 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to that date. In the event the holders do not exercise this redemption right, all shares of Series A Preferred will automatically convert into shares of our common stock on such five-year anniversary, as described below. Mandatory Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred will automatically convert into shares of our common stock (i) in the event we consummate an underwritten public offering of our securities at a price per share not less than $5.00 and for a total gross offering amount of at least $10 million, (ii) in the event of a sale of our company resulting in proceeds to the holders of Series A Preferred of a per share amount of at least $5.00, (iii) in the event that the closing market price of our common stock averages at least $7.50 per share over a period of 20 consecutive trading days and the daily trading volume averages at least 75,000 shares over such period, (iv) at any time upon the approval of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred, or (v) unless we are otherwise obligated to redeem the shares as described above, on April 28, 2010. Optional Conversion. Each holder has the right to convert its shares Series A Preferred into shares of our common stock at any time. Conversion Rate. Each share of Series A Preferred currently converts into common stock at the rate of approximately 1.18 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred. The conversion rate was changed from 1.00 share to 1.18 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred as a result of the application of a contractual anti-dilution provision triggered by the issuance of our Series B Preferred Stock. Series B Preferred Stock Pursuant to two private placements in May 2006, we issued a total of 281,388 shares of a newly created series of preferred stock, designated as "8% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Participating Preferred Stock." The Series B Preferred has the following rights, preferences and privileges: Dividends. Holders of Series B Preferred are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, payable quarterly in additional shares of Series B Preferred, at the rate of 8% per annum. The holders of the Series B Preferred are also entitled to fully participate in any dividends paid to the holders of our common stock on a common stock equivalent basis. To date, a total of 8,302 shares of Series B Preferred Stock has been issued as dividends on the Series Preferred Stock. 62 Voting Rights. Each share of Series B Preferred is entitled to that number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of our common stock into which it is convertible. Except as provided by law, holders of our common stock and preferred stock otherwise vote together as a single class. Liquidation Rights. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company (including a sale of our company), the holders of Series B Preferred have the right to receive $100 per share (plus accrued but unpaid dividends), prior to and in preference over any liquidation payment on our common stock or any other class of preferred stock ranking junior to the Series B Preferred. Following payment of the aforementioned liquidation preference, holders of the Series B Preferred are entitled to participate fully with the holders of our common stock on a common stock equivalent basis with respect to the distribution of any remaining assets. Redemption. The holders of a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred have the option to require us to redeem all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred on the five-year anniversary of issuance of the Series A Preferred at a redemption price equal to $100.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to that date. In the event the holders do not exercise this redemption right, all shares of Series B Preferred will automatically convert into shares of our common stock on such five-year anniversary, as described below. Mandatory Conversion. Each share of Series B Preferred will automatically convert into shares of our common stock (i) in the event we consummate an underwritten public offering of our securities at a price per share not less than $5.00 and for a total gross offering amount of at least $10 million, (ii) in the event of a sale of our company resulting in proceeds to the holders of Series B Preferred of a per share amount of at least $200.00, (iii) in the event that the closing market price of our common stock averages at least $7.50 per share over a period of 20 consecutive trading days and the daily trading volume averages at least 75,000 shares over such period, (iv) at any time upon the approval of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series B Preferred, or (v) unless we are otherwise obligated to redeem the shares as described above, on April 28, 2010. Optional Conversion. Each holder has the right to convert its shares Series B Preferred into shares of our common stock. Conversion Rate. Each share of Series B Preferred currently converts into common stock at the rate of 40 shares of common stock for each share of Series B Preferred. Registration Rights The holders of approximately 32.0 million shares of our common stock (including shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and conversion of preferred stock) are entitled to registration rights with respect to their shares. Under the terms of private placements that we completed between 2004 and 2006, we are required under certain conditions to register certain shares of our common stock and certain shares of our common stock that may be issued in the future upon exercise of the warrants that were acquired by the investors in those offerings. We are required to use our reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part until the first anniversary of its effectiveness or until all of the registered shares have been sold, whichever comes first, except that we will be permitted to suspend the use of the registration statement during certain periods under certain circumstances. We also have agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We will bear all registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions. We are party to a registration right agreement with each holder of our preferred stock. Pursuant to this agreement, we were required to file this registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock held by each such holder (including the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrants held by such holder). In the event this registration statement is not declared effective by, or does not remain effective during, the time periods specified in the registration rights agreement, we will be obligated to issue each holder an amount equal to 1% of the purchase price of the shares of preferred stock then held by such holder (payable in additional shares of preferred stock based on the original preferred stock purchase price) for each 30 day period during which the registration statement is not effective, up to a maximum payment of 6%. This registration rights agreement also contains the insider lock-up provisions described below. 63 Insider Lockups Certain members of our management and founding shareholders, holding in the aggregate approximately 13 million shares of our common stock have agreed with us that, subject to certain exceptions, they will not sell any shares of our common stock until 90 days following the first to occur of (i) the conversion of at least 50% of the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock or (ii) an underwritten public offering of our shares of common stock. Agreement to Call a Shareholder Meeting On February 10, 2006, we received $2,250,000 of funds from three accredited investors in exchange for our issuance of 10% senior secured debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,250,000 and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 297,000 share of our common stock. On May 25 and May 30, 2006, we issued and sold a total of 284,888 shares of our Series B Preferred. A portion of these securities were sold for cash and the balance were issued in exchange for the cancellation of some of the senior secured debentures. The closing of the debenture transaction described in the preceding paragraph was subject to a requirement to obtain the consent of the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock. On February 6, 2006, the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock gave their consent to the transaction pursuant to a letter agreement with us. In connection with obtaining the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, we agreed to deliver to such holders warrants to purchase a total of 407,560 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. We also agreed to call a shareholders' meeting to approve an amendment of certain provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock, including an anti-dilution adjustment provision described below (the "Anti-Dilution Provisions"). Our agreement to call a shareholders' meeting to approve the proposed amendment to the Series A Preferred Stock was required by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock as a condition to giving their consent to the debenture transaction described in the preceding paragraph. The consent of the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock was also required for the closing of our Series B Preferred Stock issuances. On April 12, 2006, the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock gave their consent to the Series B Preferred Stock transactions pursuant to a letter agreement with us. In connection with obtaining the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, we agreed to reduce the exercise price of the warrants to acquire up to 407,560 shares of our common stock that were acquired by the holders in 2005 from $4.00 per share to $2.75 per share, and to increase the total number of shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants to 1,018,900. (The warrants to acquire up to 407,560 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share were not affected by this agreement.) We also agreed to reduce the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock from $2.50 per share to $2.125 per share. The holders of our Series A Preferred Stock also agreed to vote in favor of the amendment to the Series A Preferred Stock, as well as to an increase in our authorized shares of preferred stock from 10.0 million to 30.0 million and our authorized shares of common stock from 100.0 million to 170.0 million. 64 The Series A Preferred Stock provides that a holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to elect to convert his or her shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock at a conversion ratio equal to one share of common stock for each share of preferred stock, subject to certain adjustments that are intended to give the converting Series A holder additional shares of common stock if we carry out certain potentially dilutive actions such as a stock split or a stock dividend. We have agreed to propose amendments to the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock that would provide the holders of Series A Preferred Stock with enhanced protection against dilution that may result from additional specified actions by us. In particular: o The conversion formula of the Series A Preferred Stock would be restated by providing that a converting holder of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a number of shares of common stock equal to (i) the number of shares of preferred stock being converted (ii) multiplied by the conversion rate. The conversion rate is described as the quotient obtained by dividing $2.50 by the conversion price, which initially is $2.125. The conversion price will be decreased - and the number of shares of common stock issuable to the converting Series A Preferred Stock holder therefore will be increased - if we carry out any of the specified dilutive actions. o The Series A Preferred Stock would also provide that, if we issue additional shares of common stock at a price that is less than the then-effective conversion price divided by 0.85, the conversion price will be reduced to an amount that is 85% of the sale price for the additional shares of common stock. This new anti-dilution protection is known as a "full ratchet" anti-dilution adjustment with the additional component of a further reduction of 15% in the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock. Certain issuances of stock by us, such as pursuant to a stock split, a stock dividend, an employee benefit plan or an acquisition or a strategic partnership, would be excluded from the operation of this new anti-dilution adjustment provision. In the event the foregoing is not approved by our shareholders, we are nonetheless contractually obligated to provide the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock with the economic benefits of the Anti-Dilution Provisions as if the proposed amendments had been approved. Shares Eligible For Future Sale As of October 27, 2006, we had 25,217,071 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and approximately 17.0 million shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock. That number does not include (i) the shares that are reserved for issuance under outstanding options and that may be issued if and when the options are exercised, (ii) the shares that may be issued upon the exercise of warrants or (iii) the additional shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our preferred stock as a result of accrued dividends on such preferred stock. Freely Tradeable Shares After Offering. As of October 27, 2006, approximately 16.0 million of our outstanding shares were free trading shares. However, upon the exercise and sale of the 5,851,145 warrant shares, and the conversion and sale of the preferred shares included in this prospectus into a total of 19,424,872 shares of common stock, all of these approximately 41.3 million shares will also be freely tradable without restriction or limitation under the Securities Act. As a result, after the completion of this offering, assuming the exercise of warrants to purchase 5,851,145 shares of common stock and the conversion of all of the shares of preferred stock included in this prospectus, there will be a total of approximately 41.3 million shares of our common stock that will be tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. Other than these shares, the remaining approximately 8.7 million shares are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Rule 144. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted securities shares for at least one year, including persons who may be deemed our "affiliates," as that term is defined under the Securities Act, would be entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares (approximately 252,000 shares if the currently outstanding warrants and options are not exercised and the preferred stock is not converted, or approximately 504,000 shares if all options and warrants are exercised and all preferred stock is converted) or the average weekly trading volume of shares during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about the company. A person who has not been our affiliate at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned his shares for at least two years, would be entitled under Rule 144(k) to sell such shares without regard to any manner of sale or volume limitations under Rule 144. 65 Approximately 4.1 million of the "restricted shares" outstanding as of October 27, 2006, were eligible for public resale under Rule 144 as of such date. The sale, or availability for sale, of substantial amounts of our common stock could, in the future, adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities or debt financing. The future availability of Rule 144 to our holders of restricted securities would be conditioned on, among other factors, the availability of certain public information concerning our company. Form S-8 Registration of Options. We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the shares of our common stock that have been issued or reserved for issuance under our stock option plan, which would permit the resale of such shares in the public marketplace. Transfer Agent Our transfer agent is U.S. Stock Transfer Corp.

San Diego, California We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of World Waste Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the two years then ended. 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 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. 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 World Waste Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the company as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company has incurred significant net losses since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $8,041,072 and expects to incur substantial additional costs and capital expenditures to complete the initial facility and through the initial year of processing. The Company has not generated any revenues to date. The foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2 of the accompanying financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. /s/ Stonefield Josephson ------------------------ Stonefield Josephson Los Angeles, California February 17, 2006, Except for (Note 16, which is as of May 19, 2006) F - 2 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors of WORLD WASTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (formerly WORLD WASTE OF AMERICA, INC.) Poway, California We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31,2003, and the accompanying statement of stockholders' equity (deficit) for the period from June 18, 2002 (inception) to December 31, 2002 of World Waste Technologies, Inc. (formerly World Waste of America, Inc.) and Subsidiaries (a development stage company). These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 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 the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 evaluating made by management, as well as evaluating the overall. financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows of World Waste Technologies, Inc. (formerly World Waste of America, Inc.) And Subsidiaries (a development stage company) for the year ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $804,605 for 2003 and had an accumulated deficit of $1,231,494 as of December 31,2003. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that insight result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Levitz, Zacks & Ciceric --------------------------- Levitz, Zacks & Ciceric San Diego, California April 5, 2004 F - 3 World Waste Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Formerly World Waste of America, Inc.)

F - 7 World Waste Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Formerly World Waste of America, Inc.) (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2005 Note 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of World Waste Technologies, Inc. (Formerly World Waste of America, Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries World Waste of Anaheim, Inc., and World Waste of California, Inc. (collectively the "Company"). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. World Waste Technologies, Inc. (WWTI), a California corporation, was formed on June 18, 2002 as World Waste of America, Inc. WWTI holds the United States license from Bio-Products International, Inc. with respect to patented technology developed at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and other related intellectual property, which technology was designed to convert a large percent of municipal solid waste into a cellulose biomass fiber containing material. It is anticipated that additional value will be realized through the capture of inorganic, recyclable materials such as aluminum, steel, tin, and other products. The Company intends to generate revenue from receiving the waste (tipping fees) and from selling cellulose fiber, recyclable materials and other products. In March 2004, World Waste of America, Inc. (WWA), merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of Waste Solutions, Inc. (WSI), a California corporation, and changed its name to World Waste Technologies, Inc. (Old WWTI). Cagan McAfee Capital Partners and its affiliates were the controlling shareholders of WSI. Prior to the merger WSI had 7,100,000 shares of common stock outstanding and WWA had 9,100,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The merger was transacted by WSI issuing one of its shares for each share of WWA. After the merger there were 16,200,000 shares outstanding. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger of WWA, similar to a recapitalization, because the shareholders of WWA became the controlling shareholders of the entity after the exchange. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the historical financial statements presented are those of WWA. In March 2004, Old WWTI entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Voice Powered Technologies International, Inc., a California corporation ("VPTI"), to merge with and into VPTI. VPTI was a publicly traded company trading under the stock symbol VPTI.OB. VPTI had no material assets, liabilities or operations. The merger with VPTI was completed on August 24, 2004. Pursuant to the merger, Old WWTI shareholders received 20,063,706 VPTI shares or approximately 95% of the outstanding shares of VPTI in exchange for 20,063,706 Old WWTI shares, or a one for one exchange. Upon completion of the merger, VPTI changed its name to World Waste Technologies, Inc. Because the shareholders of Old WWTI became the controlling shareholders of VPTI after the exchange, Old WWTI was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and therefore the transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the historical financial statements presented are those of Old WWTI. Note 2. GOING CONCERN The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $3,078,917 compared to a net loss of $2,496,188 for the year ended December 31, 2004, and the Company had an accumulated deficit attributable to common shareholders of $8,041,072 at December 31, 2005. The Company expects to incur substantial additional costs and capital expenditures to complete its initial facility and through the initial year of processing. The ability to complete and operate the facility is subject to the Company obtaining funding and/or obtaining equipment financing. If this funding is not obtained the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company intends to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to sustain its operations and to complete its capital expenditures, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to raise such funds on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. F - 8 The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing, and ultimately to attain successful operations. Note 3. SUMMARY OF ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Amendment and Restatement The accompanying consolidated financial statements are amended and restated from the original Form 10-KSB filed March 30, 2006. (see note 16) Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company is a new enterprise in the development stage as defined by Statement No. 7 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, since it has derived no revenues from its activities to date. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, which are not securing any corporate obligations, to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents at December 31, 2005. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains its cash balances in a financial institution. Cash balances at the institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in connection with such accounts. Fixed Assets Machinery and Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful asset lives, to commence when the asset is put in use. The Company is in the process of constructing its initial plant in Anaheim, California and plans to capitalize all costs directly associated with developing the plant throughout the remainder of construction. Construction was completed and testing, commissioning and operations started in the second quarter 2006. Intangibles Intangible assets are recorded at cost. At December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company's only intangible asset was the license from Bio-Products for the patented technology and other related intellectual property. The Company will begin amortizing this intangible asset upon completion of its first facility on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the license. The Company's policy regarding intangible assets is to review such intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the review indicates that intangible assets are not recoverable (i.e. the carrying amount is more than the future projected undiscounted cash flows), its carrying amount would be reduced to fair value. The Company carried no goodwill on its books at either December 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004. Further, during the years ended December 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004, the Company had no material impairment to its intangible asset. F - 9 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Preferred Stock which may redeemable for cash at the determination of the holder is classified as mezzanine equity. Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the Company records a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and when temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers, among other available information, uncertainties surrounding the recoverability of deferred tax assets, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and other matters in making this assessment. Segment Reporting The Company currently operates in a single segment. In addition, financial results are prepared and reviewed by management as a single operating segment. The Company continually evaluates its operating activities and the method utilized by management to evaluate such activities and will report on a segment basis when appropriate to do so. Comprehensive Income SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company has no items that represent other comprehensive income and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash, note receivable, note payable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to either their short-term nature or interest rates which approximate market rates. Reclassification Certain amounts for the year ended December 31, 2004 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation of the December 31, 2005 amounts. These reclassifications have no effect on reported net loss. Stock-Based Compensation (Restated) During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 entitled, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly, the Company has expensed the compensation cost for the options and warrants issued based on the fair value at the warrant grant dates. The Company recognized an expense of $422,708 and $45,577 in 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to the value of options and warrants issued to employees and directors. F - 10 The fair value of these warrants was estimated at the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions: For the Year Ended -------------------------------- December 31, December 31, 2005 2004 ------ ------ Risk-free interest rate 3.75 to 4.82 3.6% Dividend yield -- -- Volatility 70% 70% The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restriction and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's options and warrants issued to employees have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Earnings Per Share The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS No. 128). SFAS No. 128 provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, such as stock options, warrants or convertible securities. Due to their anti-dilutive effect, common stock equivalents of 8,101,011 in 2005 and 1,395,338 in 2004 were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Common stock equivalents at December 31, 2005 are comprised of employee options of 1,587,000, non employee options of 2,212,362 discussed above and Convertible Series A Preferred Stock plus accumulated dividends convertible at $2.50 per share of 4,301,649. New Accounting Pronouncements SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 This statement provides for the following: 1. Clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133; 2. Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; 3. Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and 4. Amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. Statement 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. F - 12 SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 Among other changes, Statement 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a "restatement." The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment The new FASB rule requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply Statement 123R as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005 Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply Statement 123R in the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. As the Company uses the fair value method to measure its equity instruments, management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. Issue 05-8, "Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature" Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments," provide guidance on how companies should bifurcate convertible debt issued with a beneficial conversion feature into a liability and an equity component. For income tax purposes, such an instrument is only recorded as a liability. A question has been raised as to whether a basis difference results from the issuance of convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature and, if so, whether the basis difference is a temporary difference. This issue has been added to the EITF's agenda to address these questions. Consensus was agreed to at the September 15, 2005 meeting and ratified by the FASB at the meeting on September 28, 2005. The Company account for the income tax consequences of the beneficial conversion feature of it Series A Preferred Stock consistent with this consensus. Issue 05-7, "Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Securities and Related Issues" EITF Issue No. 96-19, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments," provides guidance on whether modifications of debt result in an extinguishment of that debt. In certain situations, companies may change the terms of a conversion option as part of a debt modification, which may result in the following circumstances: (a) the change in the conversion option's terms causes the fair value of the conversion option to change but does not result in the modification meeting the condition in Issue 96-19 that would require the modification to be accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, and (b) the change in the conversion option's terms did not result in separate accounting for the conversion option under Statement 133. When both of these circumstances exist, questions have arisen regarding whether (a) the modification to the conversion option, which changes its fair value, should affect subsequent interest expense recognition related to the debt and (b) a beneficial conversion feature related to a debt modification should be recognized by the borrower if the modification increases the intrinsic value of the debt. This issue has been added to the EITF's agenda to address these questions. Consensus was agreed to at the September 15, 2005 meeting and ratified by the FASB at the meeting on September 28, 2005. Management does not believe that this consensus will have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. F - 13 EITF Issue 05-2, The Meaning of "Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument" in EITF Issue 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock" Paragraph 4 of Issue 00-19 states that "the requirements of paragraphs 12-32 of this issue do not apply if the hybrid contract is a conventional convertible debt instrument in which the holder may only realize the value of the conversion option by exercising the option and receiving the entire proceeds in a fixed number of shares or the equivalent amount of cash (at the discretion of the issuer)". The term "conventional convertible debt instrument" is not defined in Issue 00-19 and, as a result, questions have arisen regarding when a convertible debt instrument should be considered "conventional" for purposes of Issue 00-19. A question has also arisen related to whether conventional convertible preferred stock should be treated similar to conventional convertible debt. This issue was added to the EITF's agenda to address these questions. Consensus was reached at the June 15-16, 2005 meeting and was ratified by the FASB at the June 29, 2005 meeting. Management believes that this consensus will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. Note 4. LICENSE AGREEMENT, RESTATED On June 21, 2002, the Company entered into a U.S. technology license agreement with Bio-Products International, Inc., an Alabama corporation with respect to certain intellectual property and patented methods and processes. This agreement was amended on June 21, 2004 and again on August 19, 2005. The technology was designed to provide for the processing and separation of material contained in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). This unique process, treats MSW with a combination of time, temperature and steam pressure. Temperatures of several hundred degrees cook the material and the pressure, and agitation causes a pulping action. This combination is designed to result in a large volume reduction, yielding high-density, cellulose biomass product that is ready for processing and/or market. The most recent patent includes the capturing of all Volatile Organic Compounds and was granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in October 2001. The University of Alabama in Huntsville currently owns the patent for this technology. This patent was licensed to Bio-Products International, Inc. ("Bio-Products") and this license was assigned to the Company for the United States. Bio-Products is required to continue to make certain payments to the University of Alabama in Huntsville to maintain exclusivity to the patent for the technology. The license extends for a period of 20 years from the effective date of the agreement. The agreement shall be automatically extended until the expiration date of the last patent issued to Bio-Products and/or the University of Alabama in Huntsville covering the technology. For the license, the Company agreed to pay a one-time fee of $350,000, payable in several installments. The Company has recorded an intangible asset of $350,000 at December 31, 2003 and has recorded a payable for the outstanding balance of $167,500 at December 31, 2003. The final installment of $167,500 was paid in August 2004, two years after the signing of the agreement. The license will be amortized over the remaining life of the license beginning when the Company's plant is first operational. During June 2004, the Company issued warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of its common stock at $1.50 per share to the owners of Bio-Products in consideration for their assistance in obtaining certain modifications and amendments to the license agreement. The fair value of the warrants of $206,605 was estimated at the date of grant using the option valuation model. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 3.6%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 4 years. The Company recorded the $206,605 fair value of the warrants as an increase to the capitalized license. F - 14 In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a royalty for every ton of waste processed using the licensed technology as follows: Rate Tons processed per day ---------------------- ---------------------------------- $0.50 1 - 2,000 $1.00 2,001 - 10,000 $1.50 10,001 and up The Company is also obligated to pay a bonus to Bio-Products of two and one half percent (2.5%) of the gross sales price in excess of ten dollars ($10.00) per ton for the cellulose biomass product produced from MSW, utilizing the technology. As additional consideration and for their experience and know-how regarding the technology, the Company agreed to pay Bio-Products a monthly payment for technical services of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per month from January 2003 to April 2004 and twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) per month until the first plant becomes operational and then $15,000 per month for five years thereafter. As of December 31, 2005, all amounts due through such date have been paid. Due to the proprietary nature of the vessel design utilized in the process, the Company also agreed that Bio-Products shall maintain the exclusive right of vessel manufacture, and the Company shall purchase all required process vessels exclusively from Bio-Products at a purchase price of cost plus 15%. Note 5. SIGNIFICANT CONTRACT In June 2003, the Company signed a 10-year contract with Taormina Industries, LLC, a wholly owned division of Republic Services, Inc., whereby TI has agreed to deliver residual waste to the Company for processing at its initial facility which will be located on the campus of TI in Anaheim, CA and is expected to be capable of processing approximately 500 tons per day. The second phase of the contract calls for the Company to build up to a 2,000 ton per day plant in the Orange County, California-area at a site mutually agreeable to both parties. It is estimated that the initial facility will cost the Company approximately $20 million and is projected to be completed and operations started in the second quarter of 2006, assuming funds are available. It is estimated that the second phase will cost the Company approximately $50 million, excluding land and building, and is projected to be completed in 2007 or 2008, if the Company is successful in raising the necessary funds in a timely manner. The agreement also grants TI a right of first refusal for an additional 10 counties throughout California where TI has operations. Under the terms of this contract, TI is obligated to pay a per ton tipping fee to the Company. The initial tipping fee is $30 per ton (payable monthly) of "Net Processed Waste" (defined as the total RMSW delivered to us less the total residual/non-processed waste removed by Taormina for handling and disposal by Taormina). The tipping fee is subject to increase or decrease based upon changes in certain county landfill disposal fees Taormina is required to pay. Our process is also expected to mechanically sort and collect standard recyclable materials such as scrap steel, cans, and aluminum. Although the Company has not concluded on the economic feasibility on a commercial scale, it intends to study the possibility of making other products such as higher value paper products, ethanol, refuse derived fuel, cellulose insulation and building product additives. Under the terms of this first contract, these materials will be collected and sold to Taormina for resale to commodities buyers. The ultimate success of the Company is highly dependent on the ability of both parties to the contract to fulfill their obligations, of which there can be no assurance. The contract provides for three five year extensions. F - 15 Effective July 26, 2004, the Company entered into a ten-year operating lease agreement, with one option for an additional 5-year extension, with TI for the site of the Company's initial processing facility. This lease agreement was amended on March 17, 2005 and July 27, 2005. The lease requires monthly rent of $15,900, subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments. The Company paid the lessor $95,400 upon execution of the lease representing prepaid rent of $63,600 and a $31,800 security deposit. The Company will also be required to lease facilities to complete the second phase of the contract. Note 6. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE, NET Convertible Promissory Notes Payable were convertible into common stock of World Waste of Anaheim, Inc. until 90 days after the first plant is fully operational. The number of shares shall be equal in value to the outstanding balance of the note and shall constitute 0.01% ownership in World Waste of Anaheim, Inc. for each $1,000 of the Note Payable. The Notes accrued interest at eight percent (8%) per annum. Unconverted promissory notes payable plus accrued interest were due and payable December 31, 2004. The Notes also had piggyback registration rights and were convertible into the Company's Common Stock at $1.00 per share in the event the Company becomes a public entity. All notes were converted to Common Stock of the Company at the time of the merger with VPTI in August 2004 and all accrued interest of $135,327 was forgiven and credited to Additional Paid in Capital. Note 7. INCOME TAXES The components of the income tax (expense) benefit for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and for the period from June 18, 2002 (Inception) to December 31, 2005, are as follows:

F - 16 Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect temporary differences in the basis of net assets for income tax and financial reporting purposes, as well as available tax credits. The tax effected temporary differences and credit carry-forwards comprising the Company's deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 are as follows: December 31, December 31, 2005 2004 ---------------------------- State taxes (204,316) (108,378) Difference in basis of property (85,530) 0 Mark-to-Market Adjustment (165,346) 0 Capitalized Start-up costs 524,702 674,616 Reserves not currently deductible 50,709 87,691 Deferred compensation 252,727 66,963 Net operating losses 2,380,665 727,927 Valuation Allowance (2,753,611) (1,448,819) ---------------------------- Net deferred income tax asset 0 0 ============================ The Company has recorded a valuation allowance in the amount set forth above for certain deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not the Company will not realize future tax benefits related to these items. The net changes in the valuation allowance for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and for the period from June 18, 2002 (Inception) through December 31, 2005 were $1,304,792, $957,445 and $2,753,611, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income of approximately $5,584,869 and $5,450,338, respectively. These federal and state net operating loss carryforwards expire through 2025 and 2015, respectively. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 imposed substantial restrictions on the utilization of NOLs in the event of an "ownership change" (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) of a corporation. The NOLs attributable to Voice Powered Technology International before its merger with World Waste of America, Inc. are almost completely limited according to these provisions. As such, the Company has excluded a significant portion of them in this analysis. Note 8.

F - 17 Note 9. SENIOR SECURED DEBT, RESTATED On November 1, 2005, the Company sold to accredited investors $4,015,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes and Warrants to purchase up to a total of 529,980 shares of Common Stock. The Notes are due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of one or more equity financings generating gross proceeds in an aggregate amount of at least $9.0 million, or (ii) May 1, 2007. The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10.00% payable quarterly in arrears, on December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 of each year, beginning on December 31, 2005. The Notes are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company's assets, and rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, and senior in right of payment to any subordinated indebtedness. If an event of default on the Notes occurs, the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, may be declared immediately due and payable, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Notes. These amounts automatically become due and payable in the case of certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing as of their issuance date, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. In connection with the sale and issuance of these securities, the Company and the investors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 1, 2005, and subsequently amended on February 10, 2006, pursuant to which the Company agreed to use best efforts to include the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fair value of the warrants was $1,187,422. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 4.82%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of one and a half years. In accordance with APB Opinion 14, the fair value of the warrant issued to the investors of $1,187,422, is shown as a discount to the face value of the Notes on the balance sheet at its relative fair value of $923,450. Chadbourn Securities, Inc. served as the Company's placement agent in connection with the offering in certain states in which Chadbourn is registered with the NASD as a broker/dealer (the "Chadbourn States"), and, for serving as such, received a cash fee from the Company of $307,340, and was issued warrants to acquire up to 134,600 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and otherwise on the same terms as the Warrants sold to the investors. The Company also agreed to reimburse Chadbourn for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the offering. Chadbourn in turn has re-allowed a portion of these fees ($267,550 in cash and warrants to acquire up to 79,300 shares of Common Stock) to Northeast Securities, Inc., an NASD registered broker/dealer ("NES"), in connection with NES acting as a selling agent for the offering. NES also received a cash fee from the Company equal to 8.0% of the principal amount of Notes sold in all non-Chadbourn States (for a total cash fee of $4,000) and warrants to acquire up to 2,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company also agreed to reimburse NES for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the offering. In addition to the fees referred to above, the Company paid $10,000 in cash and issued warrants to acquire up to 24,000 shares of Common Stock to third party finders. The fair value of all of the 160,600 placement warrants, was $193,594. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 4.82%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of four years. The value of the warrants was deducted along with the cash placement fees paid from the face value of the debt and is being amortized as additional interest expense. The Company's chief executive officer, works with Cagan McAfee Capital Partners, LLC ("CMCP"); Laird Cagan, a Managing Director of CMCP, acted as a registered representative of Chadbourn in connection with this offering. F - 18 The debt offering cost of $514,934, consisting of cash of $321,340 and warrant value of $193,594, is shown as a current asset and is being amortized over 18 months. In accordance with APB Opinion 14, the fair value of the warrant issued to the investors of $1,187,422, is shown as a discount to the face value of the Notes on the balance sheet at its relative fair value of $923,450 and is also being amortized over 18 months, the term of the Notes. The interest expense of $68,032 and the amortization of the offering costs and warrant value of $188,323 were capitalized as construction cost on the Anaheim facility. Note 10. SERIES A CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK, RESTATED On April 28, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby the Company sold and issued 4,000,000 shares of newly created 8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series A Preferred") and warrants (the "Warrants," and, together with the Series A Preferred, the "Securities") to purchase up to 400,000 shares of common stock of the Company. On May 9, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby the Company sold and issued an additional 75,600 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase up to 7,560 shares of common stock of the Company. The gross aggregate proceeds to the Company from the sales of the securities were $10,189,000. The Company is required to apply the proceeds of the sale of the Securities primarily to the construction and operation of the Company's initial plant in Anaheim, California. The investors are entitled to recommend for election to the Company's Board of Directors two individuals designated by such investors. Two employee directors resigned from the board of directors upon the election of the investors' designees. Holders of Series A Preferred are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, payable quarterly in additional shares of Series A Preferred, at the rate of 8% per annum. This dividend rate is subject to increase to 9% in the event the Company does not comply with certain registration rights provisions. Each share of Series A Preferred is entitled to that number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of the Common Stock into which it is convertible. In addition, so long as at least 50% of the shares of Series A Preferred remain outstanding, the Company is prohibited from taking certain actions without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred. The holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred have the option to require the Company to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred on the five year anniversary of issuance at a redemption price equal to $2.50 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to that date. In the event the holders do not exercise this redemption right, all shares of Series A Preferred will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock on such five-year anniversary, as described below. Each share of Series A Preferred will automatically convert into one share of Common Stock (i) in the event the Company consummates an underwritten public offering of its securities at a price per share not less than $5.00 and for a total gross offering amount of at least $10 million, (ii) in the event of a sale of the Company resulting in proceeds to the holders of Series A Preferred of a per share amount of at least $5.00, (iii) in the event that the closing market price of the Common Stock averages at least $7.50 per share over a period of 20 consecutive trading days and the daily trading volume averages at least 75,000 shares over such period, (iv) upon the approval of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred, or (v) unless the Company is otherwise obligated to redeem the shares as described above, on April 28, 2010. Each holder has the right to convert its shares Series A Preferred into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at any time following the first to occur of September 30, 2006 or the Operational Date. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing as of their issuance date, at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. The fair value of the warrants was $1,328,066. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 3.75%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of five years. The value of the warrants was deducted from the face amount of the Series A Preferred and is being amortized as dividends. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the value of the warrants have been recorded as a liability until such time as the Company meets the registration obligation of the underlying shares. In accordance with SFAS 133 the warrant liability is adjusted to its fair value, and the adjustment is recorded as other income (expense). As the fair value of the warrants at December 31, 2005 was determined to be $618,653 compared to $1,328,066 at issuance, the Company has recognized other income of $709,413 during 2005 as a result of this adjustment. F - 19 In accordance with EITF 98-5 and 00-27 it was determined that the Series A Preferred's effective conversion price was issued at a discount to fair value. The value of this discount, called a beneficial conversion feature, was determined to be $1,328,066. The beneficial conversion feature was deducted from the carrying value of the Series A Preferred stock and is amortized over five years. The amortization amount is treated consistent with preferred stock dividends. In connection with the issuance of the Securities, on April 28, 2005, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement granting the investors certain demand and piggyback registration rights of the common stock issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred and exercise of the Warrants. The Company filed a registration statement on August 4, 2005 to register for resale the underlying common stock shares related to the conversion feature of the Series A Preferred and the related Warrants. The registration statement was withdrawn on December 19, 2005. As of March 15, 2006, the registration statement has not been re-filed. In connection with this transaction, certain of the Company's officers and significant shareholders agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, they would not offer, sell, contract to sell, lend, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock with respect to which the holder has beneficial ownership until the earlier of 90 days following the conversion into Common Stock of at least 50% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or 90 days following the closing of a Qualified Public Offering as defined in the agreement. Chadbourn Securities, Inc. served as the Company's placement agent in connection with the offering, and for serving as such, received a cash fee from the Company of $375,000, and was issued warrants to acquire up to 244,536 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and otherwise on the same terms as the Warrants sold to the investors. The fair value of the placement warrants was $861,852. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 6.75%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of four years. The value of the warrants was discounted along with the cash placement fees paid, $321,200, from the face value of the Series A Preferred. The accounting for the Series A Preferred is as follows: Gross proceeds $ 10,189,000 Less: beneficial conversion feature (1,328,066) Less: offering costs (1,564,152) Less: warrant value at issuance date (1,328,066) ------------ Subtotal 5,968,716 Amortization of the beneficial conversion feature 177,075 Amortization of warrant value 177,075 Amortization of offering costs 208,554 In-kind dividend 565,124 ------------ Balance at December 31, 2005 $ 7,096,544 ============ Note 11. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY, RESTATED Prior to the merger with WSI, WSI received $750,000 for the issuance of a promissory note and obtained a commitment for an additional $250,000 from an investor. The investor also received a warrant for the purchase of 133,333 shares of common stock for $0.01 per share in connection with these additional funds. These warrants were exercised in March of 2004. After the merger, the promissory note was exchanged for 500,000 shares of common stock in World Waste Technologies, Inc. In April 2004, the Company received the additional $250,000 for the purchase of an additional 166,667 shares of common stock. The relative fair value allocated to the warrant was $170,844 using the Black-Scholes calculation. The value of the warrant was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk free interest of 3.6%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 4 years. Prior to the merger with VPTI, 500,000 shares of common stock were contributed to the Company by the founder of VPTI in connection with an agreement in which the founder sold approximately 1,000,000 other shares of common stock to accredited investors in a private sale. F - 20 During the second and third quarters ended June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004 respectively, the Company obtained through a private placement an additional $3,093,910 from the sale of 2,311,872 shares of common stock, net of fees paid of $273,890 (2,245,206 of these shares were issued prior to the merger with VPTI on August 24, 2004). Under a Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a registration statement to register the resale of such shares within ninety days of completion of the Merger, August 23, 2004, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable. The registration statement was withdrawn on December 19, 2005. As of March 15, 2006, the registration statement has not been re-filed. During July 2004, the Company issued a warrant to a consultant for the purchase of 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share in consideration for investment banking, financial structuring and advisory services provided. The fair value of the warrant was $74,567. The value of the warrant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 3.6%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 4 years. The fair value of the warrant was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2004. The warrant was exercised in full in September 2004. As discussed above, effective August 24, 2004, World Waste Technologies, Inc. was merged into VPTI. Prior to the merger with VPTI, the holders of the convertible promissory notes converted these notes into 1,193,500 shares of common stock of World Waste Technologies, Inc. Subsequent to the merger with VPTI, during the third and fourth quarters of the year ended December 31, 2004, in connection with a private placement of securities, the Company sold 1,192,000 units; each unit comprised of one (1) share of common stock in the Company and warrants exercisable for 0.25 shares (298,000 shares) of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share for 5 years. The fair value of the warrants was $742,222. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 3.6%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 1 to 4 years. The consideration paid for the units was $2.50 per unit, for aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $1,879,770. As of December 31, 2004, 152,000 of these warrants had been exercised for net proceeds to the Company of $1,520. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a registration statement within ninety days of completion of the private placement and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable registering the resale of the shares and shares underlying the warrants. The registration statement was filed on August 4, 2005. The registration statement was withdrawn on December 19, 2005. As of March 15, 2006, the registration statement has not been re-filed. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, in connection with private placements of unregistered securities, the Company raised gross proceeds of $3,387,000 by issuing 1,354,800 units (each unit comprised of one (1) share of common stock in the Company (1,354,800 shares of common stock) and warrants exercisable for 0.25 shares (338,700 warrants)) at a purchase price of $2.50 per unit. The warrants expire five years after the date of the sale of the shares and are exercisable at $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment. All of the warrants were exercised during the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The fair value of the warrants was $843,487. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 3.75%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of one year. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a registration statement within ninety days of completion of the private placement and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable registering the resale of shares and the shares underlying the warrants. The registration statement was filed on August 4, 2005. The registration statement was withdrawn on December 19, 2005. As of March 15, 2006, the registration statement has not been re-filed. Note 12. COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES The Company and its subsidiaries and officers were named defendants in a lawsuit alleging breach of contract, fraud, and misrepresentation related to the breach of a residential real estate lease and an allegedly "detachable" warrant. On October 5, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to settle the litigation. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company paid $150,000 by December 2005. The plaintiff has agreed to dismiss all claims with prejudice. F - 21 In March, 2004, the Company entered into a lease for office space in San Diego, CA. The lease term is for two years commencing April 1, 2004. In March of 2006 the lease was extended for an additional six months. Annual rent is $54,943 for year one, $56,634 for year two and $36,978 for the additional six months. In July 2004, the Company entered into a lease for the initial facility in Anaheim, CA. The lease term is for 10 years commencing July 1, 2004, with three five-year renewal option. The monthly base rent of $15,900 adjusts annually based on the Consumer Price Index of Orange County. Minimum lease payments for these operating leases for the years ending December 31 are: 2006 $241,937 2007 $190,800 2008 $190,800 2009 $190,800 Thereafter $874,500 The Company is obligated to pay Bio Products for technical services $20,000 per month until the first plant becomes operational and then $15,000 per month for five years. The Company is also obligated to pay CMCP $5,000 per month for advisory services through December 31, 2006. Note 13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, RESTATED In December 2003, the Company entered into an agreement, amended in March 2004, with Cagan McAfee Capital Partners, LLC ("CMCP"). The agreement provides for CMCP to provide advisory and consulting services and for NASD broker dealer, Chadbourn Securities Inc. ("Chadbourn"), to provide investment banking services to the Company. The agreement calls for, among other things, the Company to pay to CMCP a monthly advisory fee of $15,000, increased to $20,000 beginning in September 2004. The total professional fees paid to CMCP for the year ended December 31, 2004 for advisory services was $200,000. In May 2005, the agreement was amended to provide for the payment to CMCP of a monthly advisory fee of $5,000 and the Company entered into a separate agreement with John Pimentel to pay his monthly advisory fee of $15,000. In September 2005, John Pimentel was hired as the Company's Chief Executive Officer. CMCP's fee for monthly advisory fees for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $120,000. Prior to May 2005, John Pimentel was paid by CMCP to provide services to the Company. Subsequent to May 2005 and prior to his hiring as CEO, Mr. Pimentel was paid $60,000 for consulting services by the Company. Chadbourn and Laird Q. Cagan, a registered representative of Chadbourn, acted as the placement agent (collectively, the "Placement Agent") for us in connection with the private placement of 3,923,370 shares of our common stock in 2004. In connection with those private placements, we paid the Placement Agent a commission of 8% of the price of all shares sold by it, or approximately $487,200. In addition, we paid the Placement Agent a non-accountable expense allowance (equal to 2% of the purchase price of the shares or approximately $90,000) and issued the Placement Agent, or its affiliates, warrants to purchase 392,337 of our common shares, at exercise prices between $1.00 and $2.50. F - 22 The values of the warrants, $369,245, were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 3.6%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 4 years. During 2005, the Placement Agent acted as the placement agent for us in connection with the private placement of 1,354,800 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 338,700 shares of our common stock, the private placement of 4,075,600 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 407,560 shares of our common stock, and $4,015,000 aggregate principal amount of our senior secured promissory notes and warrants to purchase up to a total of 529,980 shares of Common Stock. In connection with those private placements, we paid the Placement Agent a commission of approximately $961,550. In addition, we paid the Placement Agent a non-accountable expense allowance of $267,740 and issued the Placement Agent, or its affiliates, warrants to purchase 548,486 of our common shares, at exercise price of $2.50. The values of the warrants, $756,247, were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest rate 3.6% to 6.75%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 4 years. Note 14. EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS On April 28, 2005, the Company entered into new employment agreements with four of its executive officers. The new agreements supersede and replace each officer's existing employment agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the new agreements, the officers will continue to serve the Company in the same capacities but on an "at-will" basis. Effective December 31, 2005, the President of the Company resigned. The total annual salaries of the three remaining contracts are $650,000. Each officer is entitled to receive 12 months salary and continuation of benefits in the event the Company terminates his agreement for other than "good cause" or the officer resigns from the Company for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the agreements). In addition, each officer is entitled to 12 months salary and continuation of benefits in the event of disability or death during the term of his agreement. The current Company CEO is not under an employment contract. Note 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED) On February 10, 2006, the Company issued and sold $2,250,000 aggregate principal amount of its 10% senior secured debentures and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase up to an aggregate of 297,000 shares of the Company's common stock, to three accredited investors. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing as of their issuance date and have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The debentures are due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of one or more equity financings generating gross proceeds in an aggregate amount of at least $9.0 million, or (ii) eighteen months after the closing date. The debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 10.00% payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The first interest payment is due on March 31, 2006. The debentures are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company's assets, and rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, and senior in right of payment to any subordinated indebtedness. In connection with the issuance of the debentures, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement on February 10, 2006 pursuant to which it agreed to use best efforts to include the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on a registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC. F - 23 In connection with this transaction, the holders of the Company's 10% senior secured notes described in Note 9 exchanged their notes for debentures on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The only term that was changed was the maturity date. Therefore, at the conclusion of the transaction the Company had a total of $6,265,000 of Senior Secured Debt outstanding. The closing of this transaction was subject to a requirement to obtain the consent of the holders of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock. On February 6, 2006, the holders of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock gave their consent to the transaction pursuant to a letter agreement with the Company (the "Series A Consent"). In connection with obtaining the Series A Consent, the Company agreed to deliver to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock warrants to purchase a total of 407,560 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Pursuant to the Series A Consent, (i) the Company also agreed to call a shareholders' meeting to approve an amendment of certain provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Determination, and (ii) the holders of Series A Preferred Stock agreed to waive certain of their veto rights and contractual rights to facilitate the Company's next round of financing. On May 1, 2006, pursuant to a Patent Assignment Agreement and a Patent Assignment, both dated as of May 1, 2006, (the "Patent Assignment Agreement and a Patent Assignment"), the Company completed the purchase of all right, title and interest in United States Patent No. 6,306,248 (the "Patent") and related intellectual property, subject to existing licenses, from the University of Alabama in Huntsville for $100,000 and 167,000 shares of the Company's unregistered common stock valued at $698,000,the market value of the stock on May 1, 2006. We continue to exploit the technology covered by the Patent through a sublicense from the original licensee, Bio-Products International, Inc. By virtue of our acquisition of the Patent, we now own all right, title and interest in the Patent, subject to Bio-Products International, Inc.'s existing license, which in turn continues to sublicense the technology to us. May 26, 2006, the Company announced that it had secured $25,000,000 in new equity financing in two private placements. In the first transaction, which closed May 25, 2006, the Company issued 89,000 shares of its newly created 8% Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock at a price of $100 per share, resulting in total gross proceeds to the Company of $8.9 million. In the second transaction, the Company entered into definitive agreements for the sale of an additional 161,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock on the same terms, for total additional gross proceeds to the Company of $16.1 million. This second offering closed on May 30, 2006. In addition to the sales described above, holders of the Company's $6,250,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured debentures had the contractual right to exchange their debentures for shares of Series B Preferred Stock on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The holders of approximately $2,480,000 of such debentures elected to exchange their debentures and accrued interest for a total of 25,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (which shares of Preferred Stock would be convertible into a total of 1,000,000 common shares and be included in the registration statement described below). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible for a period of five years into 40 shares of the Company's common stock. To the extent not converted by the five-year anniversary of issuance, the shares are subject to redemption at each holder's option, with any shares not redeemed subject to automatic conversion. The shares are also subject to mandatory conversion prior to the five-year anniversary of issuance if the Company's common stock meets certain trading price and volume criteria and under certain other circumstances. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, payable quarterly in additional shares of Series B Preferred, at the rate of 8% per annum. The Company is also issuing the investors in these transactions five-year warrants to acquire up to a total of 2,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement within 60 days of the closing covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and exercise of the warrants. After fees and expenses and the repayment of the Company's secured debentures, the Company estimates the total net proceeds to it from these two offerings will be approximately $18 million. The Company currently intends to use these net proceeds to start-up operations at, and make improvements to, its initial facility located in Anaheim, California, to begin preparations for additional facilities, and for general corporate purposes. Prior to April 8, 2006, the Company completed the construction of the facility and sent a notice to Taromina of such completion in accordance with the terms of the agreement with Taromina. F - 24 Note 16. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF FORM 10-KSB On May 12, 2006, the Company determined that it would amend its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 to correct certain accounting errors in the financial statements included in such report related to the fair value of options and warrants, the relative fair value of senior secured debt and the related warrants and the classification of Redeemable Preferred Stock. The principal accounting errors reflected in such financial statements were as follows: 1) Fair value of options and warrants: As previously disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC, on August 24, 2004 World Waste Technologies, Inc., a private company ("WWT") completed a reverse merger with and into a subsidiary of Voice Powered Technologies International, Inc ("VPTI"), a publicly-traded company with no assets, liabilities or operations. As a result of this merger, VPTI (renamed World Waste Technologies, Inc.) succeeded to all of the assets, liabilities and operations of WWT. In order to properly account for the expense associated with the issuance of options and warrants, it is required to determine the fair value of these securities. In determining this value the Company undertook a "Black Scholes" analysis, a method of valuation that takes into account the expected volatility of the stock underlying the convertible securities being valued. Because at the time of this valuation the Company had no stock trading history as a company with the operations of WWT (i.e. all of the trading had been as VPTI, a company with no operations), in determining its expected volatility, the Company decided to use the trading prices of a representative sample of companies within its industry as opposed to VPTI's trading history. Based on discussions with the staff of the SEC as to current practices in applying the applicable accounting guidelines (SFAS 123R) and further review of the authoritative accounting literature for new public companies, the Company concluded that the use of a volatility factor more consistent with its stage of life cycle and financial leverage would be more appropriate than a volatility factor based on the trading of shares of companies within its industry. As a result, the Company changed the volatility factor previously used from approximately 20% to 70%. Based on this analysis, the Company also changed the price used in calculating the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with a private placement of our Series A Preferred Stock from the price such shares were actually sold at to the quoted market price of the Company's stock as of the closing of such issuance. These changes affected primarily the recorded value on our balance sheet of the following line item accounts: Debt Offering Costs, Patent and Licenses, Senior Secured Debt, Redeemable Preferred Stock, Warrant Liability, Additional Paid in Capital and Deficit Accumulated during the Development Stage. This change had the following impact on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations: In 2004, General and Administrative Expense increased by $21,970 for the increase in employee option expense. In 2005, General and Administrative Expense increase by $250,507 for the increase in employee option expense and Change in fair value of warrant liabilities increase by $323,450 resulting in a net decrease in the Net Loss of $72,943. Also in 2005, the amortization of Preferred Stock warrants, offering costs and beneficial conversion feature classified similar to Preferred Stock dividends increased by $491,939. 2) Relative Fair Value: On November 1, 2005 the Company completed a private placement of senior debt securities with detachable warrants. In accounting for this transaction, the Company discounted the recorded value of the senior debt securities by an amount equal to the fair value of the warrants. Upon further review of the applicable accounting literature (APB Opinion 14), the Company determined that it should have discounted the senior debt for the "relative fair value" of the warrants rather than the "fair value" of the warrants. This had the effect of overstating the discount on the senior debt at December 31, 2005 by approximately $235,000. This change had not impact on the Company's 2004 or 2005 Consolidated Statement of Operations. 3) Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock: The Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock had been classified as a liability because it is redeemable at the end of five years, at the option of the holders. Upon further review of authoritative literature, Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock will be reclassified as "mezzanine equity" rather than as a liability. This change had no impact on the Company's 2004 or 2005 Consolidated Statement of Operations. Below is a summary of the significant effects of the restatement on the consolidated statements of operations (in thousands) for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the balance sheets as at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

(A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2006 Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Amendment and Restatement On July 7, 2006, the Company filed an amended Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A, originally filed March 30, 2006, as amended, to restate the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 included therein. (see Note 11) Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company is a new enterprise in the development stage as defined by Statement No. 7 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, since it has derived no substantial revenues from its activities to date. Interim Financial Statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's amended and restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 included in Amendment Number 2 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, filed July 7, 2006. See Note 11. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition Revenue for receiving MSW is recognized when the MSW is delivered. Revenue for products sold are recognized when the product is delivered and sold to the customer. Fixed Assets Machinery and Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful asset lives or for leasehold improvements or equipment installed in the Anaheim plant, over the remain life of the lease, whichever is shorter. Due to the fact that at the time the assets were placed into service the lease had 8 years and two months remaining, all assets and leasehold improvements at the Anaheim facility are being depreciated over a maximum of 8 years and two months. The Company completed the construction of its initial plant in Anaheim, California at the end of March 2006. The Company capitalized all costs directly associated with developing the plant, including interest and labor, throughout the construction period. The Company placed into service and began depreciating the assets related to this facility in the second quarter of 2006. Intangibles Intangible assets are recorded at cost. On May 1, 2006, pursuant to a Patent Assignment Agreement and a Patent Assignment, both dated as of May 1, 2006, (the "Patent Assignment Agreement and a Patent Assignment"), the Company completed the purchase of all right, title and interest in United States Patent No. 6,306,248 (the "Patent") and related intellectual property, subject to existing licenses, from the University of Alabama in Huntsville for $100,000 and 167,000 shares of the Company's unregistered common stock valued at approximately $698,000, based on the market price of the stock on the date issued, May 1, 2006. We continue to exploit the technology covered by the Patent through a sublicense from the original licensee, Bio-Products. By virtue of our acquisition of the Patent, we now own all rights, title and interest in the Patent, subject to Bio-Products International, Inc.'s existing license, which in turn continues to sublicense the technology to us. Prior to the purchase of the Patent, the Company's only intangible asset was the license from Bio-Products for the patented technology and other related intellectual property. F - 32 The Company began amortizing its intangible assets during the second quarter of 2006 upon completion of its first facility, on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the intellectual property. The Patent expires in 2017 and the license expires in 2022. The Company's policy regarding intangible assets is to review such intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the review indicates that intangible assets are not recoverable (i.e. the carrying amounts are more than the future projected undiscounted cash flows), their carrying amounts would be reduced to fair value. The Company carried no goodwill on its books at either June 30, 2006 or December 31, 2005. Further, during the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company had no material impairment to its intangible asset. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Preferred Stock which may be redeemable for cash at the determination of the holder is classified as mezzanine equity, and is shown net of discounts for offering costs, warrant values and beneficial conversion features. Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the Company records a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and when temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers, among other available information, uncertainties surrounding the recoverability of deferred tax assets, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and other matters in making this assessment. Reclassification Certain amounts for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation of the June 30, 2006 amounts. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net loss. Stock-Based Compensation During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 entitled, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." Accordingly, the Company has expensed the compensation cost for the options and warrants issued based on the fair value at the warrant grant dates. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R. Because the Company had already been accounting for it stock-based compensation on an estimated fair value basis, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had one share-based compensation plan, which is described below. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for the plan was $463,406, $118,289, and $963,662 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and from inception to June 30, 2006, respectively. Because the Company is in a net loss position, no income tax benefit has been recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements.. As of June 30, 2006, no share-based compensation cost had been capitalized as part of inventory or fixed assets. The Company's 2004 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the Plan), which is shareholder-approved, provides for the issuance by the Company of a total of up to 2.0 million shares of common stock and options to acquire common stock to the Company's employees, directors and consultants. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on 2 to 4 years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms. The Company has made no share awards as of June 30, 2006. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plan). The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock from August 24, 2004 through March 31, 2005. Although the Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee terminations within the valuation model, because of its limited history, the Company has assumed that all options will be exercised and that there will be no employee terminations. As and when employee terminations occur the Company stops amortizing the expense associated with the options. The expected term of options granted was estimated to be the vesting period of the respective options which the Company believes provides a reasonable estimation of the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.

Earnings Per Share The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS No. 128). SFAS No. 128 provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, such as stock options, warrants or convertible securities. Due to their anti-dilutive effect, common stock equivalents of 25,364,807 were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share at June 30, 2006 and common stock equivalents of 6,677,383 were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share at June 30, 2005. New Accounting Pronouncements SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. The FASB has issued FASB Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This standard amends the guidance in FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Among other requirements, Statement 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. Statement 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management does not believe that this statement will have a material effect on the financial statements. FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 Summary - On July 13, 2006, FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, was issued. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new FASB standard also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. As the Company provides for a 100% reserve against its deferred tax asset, Management does not believe that this statement will have a material effect on the financial statements. F - 35 Note 2.

F - 36 Note 3. LICENSE AGREEMENT On June 21, 2002, the Company entered into a U.S. technology license agreement with Bio-Products International, Inc., an Alabama corporation with respect to certain intellectual property and patented methods and processes. This agreement was amended on June 21, 2004 and again on August 19, 2005. The technology was designed to provide for the processing and separation of material contained in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). This unique process treats MSW with a combination of time, temperature and steam pressure. Temperatures of several hundred degrees cook the material and the pressure, and agitation causes a pulping action. This combination is designed to result in a large volume reduction, yielding high-density, cellulose biomass product that is ready for processing and/or market. The most recent patent includes the capturing of all Volatile Organic Compounds and was granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in October 2001. Through April 30, 2006, the University of Alabama in Huntsville ("UAH") owned the patent for this technology. On May 1, 2006, the Company acquired the patent from UAH for $100,000 and 167,000 shares of the Company's unregistered common stock valued at its fair value on the date of issuance of approximately $698,000. As of June 30, 2006, the Company owed $80,000 of the $100,000. The patent reverts to UAH in the event of bankruptcy of the Company. This patent is licensed to Bio-Products International, Inc. ("Bio-Products"). The license to the patent in the United States was assigned to the Company. Bio-Products is required to continue to make certain payments to the Company, as the patent owner, to maintain exclusivity to the patent for the technology. The Company does not expect royalty income from Bio Products to be material for the foreseeable future. The Company continues to exploit the technology covered by the Patent through the sublicense from the original licensee, Bio-Products. By virtue of our acquisition of the Patent, we now own all rights, title and interest in the Patent, subject to Bio-Products' existing license, which in turn continues to sublicense the technology to us. The license extends for a period of 20 years from the effective date of the agreement. The agreement is subject to automatic extension until the expiration date of the last patent issued to Bio-Products and/or the University of Alabama in Huntsville covering the technology. For the license, the Company agreed to pay a one-time fee of $350,000, payable in several installments. The Company recorded an intangible asset of $350,000 at December 31, 2003 and recorded a payable for the outstanding balance of $167,500 at December 31, 2003. The final installment of $167,500 was paid in August 2004, two years after the signing of the agreement. The license is being amortized over the remaining life of the license beginning when the Company's plant first became operational. During June 2004, the Company issued warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of its common stock at $1.50 per share to the owners of Bio-Products in consideration for their assistance in obtaining certain modifications and amendments to the license agreement. The fair value of the warrants of $206,605 was estimated at the date of grant using the option valuation model. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 3.6%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 4 years. The Company recorded the fair value of the warrants as an increase to the capitalized license. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a royalty for every ton of waste processed using the licensed technology as follows: Rate Tons processed per day ----------- ----------------------------- $0.50 1 - 2,000 $1.00 2,001 - 10,000 $1.50 10,001 and up The Company is also obligated to pay a bonus to Bio-Products of two and one half percent (2.5%) of the gross sales price in excess of ten dollars ($10.00) per ton for the cellulose biomass product produced from MSW, utilizing the technology. F - 37 As additional consideration and for their experience and know-how regarding the technology, the Company agreed to pay Bio-Products a monthly payment for technical services of $10,000 per month from January 2003 to April 2004 and $20,000 per month until the first plant processes or is able to process waste equal to or in excess of the facility's design capacity, and then $15,000 per month for five years thereafter. All amounts due have been paid through June 30, 2006. Due to the proprietary nature of the vessel design utilized in the process, the Company granted Bio-Products the exclusive right of vessel manufacture, and agreed to purchase all required process vessels exclusively from Bio-Products at a fixed purchase price of the quoted cost plus 15%. Note 4. SIGNIFICANT CONTRACT In June 2003, the Company signed a 10-year contract with Taormina Industries, LLC (TI), a wholly owned division of Republic Services, Inc., whereby TI has agreed to deliver residual waste to the Company for processing at its initial facility which is located on the campus of TI in Anaheim, CA and is expected to be capable of processing approximately 500 tons per day. The second phase of the contract calls for the Company to build up to a 2,000 ton per day plant in the Orange County, California-area at a site mutually agreeable to both parties. The Company is investigating the purchase or lease of water treatment equipment for our initial facility. If we decide to purchase the equipment, it may require approximately $3 million to $6 million of additional capital. It is estimated that the second phase will cost the Company approximately $60 million, excluding land and building, and is projected to be completed in 2007 or 2008, if the Company is successful in raising the necessary funds in a timely manner. The agreement also grants TI a right of first refusal for an additional 10 counties throughout California where TI has operations. Under the terms of this contract, TI is obligated to pay a per ton tipping fee to the Company. The initial tipping fee is $30 per ton (payable monthly) of "Net Processed Waste" (defined as the total RMSW delivered to us less the total residual/non-processed waste removed by Taormina for handling and disposal by Taormina). The tipping fee is subject to increase or decrease based upon changes in certain county landfill disposal fees Taormina is required to pay. Our process is also expected to mechanically sort and collect standard recyclable materials such as scrap steel, cans, and aluminum. Although the Company has not concluded on the economic feasibility on a commercial scale, it intends to study the possibility of making other products such as higher value paper products, ethanol, refuse derived fuel and other energy related products, cellulose insulation and building product additives. Under the terms of this first contract it is anticipated that these materials will be collected and sold to Taormina for resale to commodities buyers. The ultimate success of the Company is highly dependent on the ability of both parties to the contract to fulfill their obligations, of which there can be no assurance. The contract provides for three five year extensions. Effective July 26, 2004, the Company entered into a ten-year operating lease agreement, with TI for the site of the Company's initial processing facility. This lease agreement was amended on March 17, 2005 and July 27, 2005. The lease requires monthly rent of $15,900, subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments. The Company paid the lessor $95,400 upon execution of the lease representing prepaid rent of $63,600 and a $31,800 security deposit. Note 5. SENIOR SECURED DEBT On November 1, 2005, the Company sold to accredited investors $4,015,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes and Warrants to purchase up to a total of 529,980 shares of Common Stock. In February 2006, all of the notes were exchanged for a new series of Senior Secured Debt as described below. No material terms of the notes changed other than the maturity date. The Notes were due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of one or more equity financings generating gross proceeds in an aggregate amount of at least $9.0 million, or (ii) May 1, 2007. The Notes bore interest at an annual rate of 10.00% payable quarterly in arrears, on December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 of each year, beginning on December 31, 2005. The Notes were secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company's assets, and ranked pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, and senior in right of payment to any subordinated indebtedness. If an event of default on the Notes had occurred, the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, could have been declared immediately due and payable, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Notes. These amounts were to automatically become due and payable in the case of certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company. As described below, in May 2006 all of these Notes were either repaid or were exchanged for shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock. F - 38 The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing as of their issuance date, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. In connection with the sale and issuance of these securities, the Company and the investors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 1, 2005, and subsequently amended on February 10, 2006, pursuant to which the Company agreed to use best efforts to include the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fair value of the Warrants was $1,187,422. The value of the Warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 4.82%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of one and a half years. In accordance with APB Opinion 14, the fair value of the warrant issued to the investors of $1,187,422 is shown as a discount to the face value of the Senior Secured Notes on the balance sheet at the relative fair value of $923,450 and is also being amortized over 18 months, the term of the notes. Chadbourn Securities, Inc. served as the Company's placement agent in connection with the offering in certain states in which Chadbourn is registered with the NASD as a broker/dealer (the "Chadbourn States"), and, for serving as such, received a cash fee from the Company of $307,340, and was issued warrants to acquire up to 134,600 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and otherwise on the same terms as the Warrants sold to the investors. The Company also agreed to reimburse Chadbourn for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the offering. Chadbourn in turn has re-allowed a portion of these fees ($267,550 in cash and warrants to acquire up to 79,300 shares of Common Stock) to Northeast Securities, Inc., an NASD registered broker/dealer ("NES"), in connection with NES acting as a selling agent for the offering. NES also received a cash fee from the Company equal to 8.0% of the principal amount of Notes sold in all non-Chadbourn States (for a total cash fee of $4,000) and warrants to acquire up to 2,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company also agreed to reimburse NES for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the offering. In addition to the fees referred to above, the Company paid $10,000 in cash and issued Warrants to acquire up to 24,000 shares of Common Stock to third party finders. The fair value of all of the 160,600 placement Warrants was $193,594. The value of the Warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 4.82%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of four years. The debt offering cost of $514,934, consisting of cash of $321,340 and warrant value of $193,594, is shown as a current asset and is being amortized over 18 months. The Company's chief executive officer, works with Cagan McAfee Capital Partners, LLC ("CMCP"); Laird Cagan, a Managing Director of CMCP, acted as a registered representative of Chadbourn in connection with this offering. On February 10, 2006, the Company issued and sold $2,250,000 aggregate principal amount of its 10% Senior Secured Notes and Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 297,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, to three accredited investors. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing as of their issuance date and have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The fair value of the Warrants was $1,200,085. The value of the Warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 4.82%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of one and a half years. The Notes were due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of one or more equity financings generating gross proceeds in an aggregate amount of at least $9.0 million, or (ii) August 10, 2007. The Notes bore interest at an annual rate of 10.00% payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The Notes were secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company's assets, and ranked pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, and senior in right of payment to any subordinated indebtedness. As described below, in May 2006 all of these Notes were either repaid or were exchanged for shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement on February 10, 2006, pursuant to which the Company agreed to use best efforts to include the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Chadbourn Securities, Inc. served as the Company's placement agent in connection with the offering, and, for serving as such, received a cash fee from the Company of $27,500. The Company also agreed to reimburse Chadbourn for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the offering. F - 39 In addition to the fees referred to above, the Company paid $5,000 in cash to third party finders. The debt offering costs of $122,424, consisting of placement agent fees, finders fees, and legal and administrative fees is shown as a current asset and was being amortized over 18 months. In accordance with APB Opinion 14, the fair value of the warrants issued to the investors was shown as a discount to the face value of the Notes on the balance sheet at its relative fair value of $787,500 and was also being amortized over 18 months, the term of the notes. Upon repayment, all unamortized placement fees and warrant value was expensed as Financing Transaction Expense (see Note 2). In connection with the Febuary 6, 2006 transaction, the holders of the Company's 10% Senior Secured Notes issued November 1, 2005 described above exchanged their notes for debentures on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Therefore, at the conclusion of the transaction the Company had a total of $6,265,000 of Senior Secured Debt outstanding. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the interest expense of $131,625 and the amortization of the offering costs of $78,266 and amortization of the warrants issued to the investors of $241,408 were capitalized as construction cost on the Anaheim facility. As the facility was considered completed at the end of March, 2006, interest expense and the amortization of the offering costs were expensed during the quarter ended June 30, 2006. On May 30, 2006, the Company completed the placement of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (Series B). Consistent with their contractual rights of participation, certain holders of the Senior Secured Debt elected to exchange their debt and accrued interest, or a portion there of, into shares of Series B. The principal and accrued interest of the Senior Debt exchanged was $3,480,000 and $8,800, respectively. As required by the terms of the Notes, the balance of the Senior Debt and accrued interest thereon was repaid in full on May 30, 2006 with a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Series B. As a consequence, all unamortized debt discount and offering costs were expensed (see Note 2). As of June 30, 2006, no Senior Debt remained outstanding. Note 6. CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK Series A On April 28, 2005, the Company issued and sold 4,000,000 shares of its newly created 8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series A") and warrants (the "Warrants," and, together with the Series A Preferred, the "Securities") to purchase up to 400,000 shares of common stock of the Company. On May 9, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby the Company issued and sold an additional 75,600 shares of Series A Preferred and Warrants to purchase up to 7,560 shares of common stock of the Company. The gross aggregate proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Securities was $10,189,000. The certificate of determination governing the terms of the Series A provides for the Series A to convert into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of one-for one. In February 2006, however, the Company contractually agreed with the holders of the Series A to provide for an increase in this conversion rate upon subsequent issuances of shares of common stock (subject to specified exceptions) at a price less than 115% of the conversion rate in effect at the time of issuance. As a result of this agreement, on May 25, 2006 (the date the Company first issued shares of its Series B Preferred, as described below), the conversion rate was adjusted to approximately 1.18 shares of common stock for each one share of Series A. The Company was required to apply the proceeds of the sale of the Securities primarily to the construction and operation of the Company's initial plant in Anaheim, California. The holders of the Series A are entitled to recommend for election to the Company's Board of Directors two individuals designated by such holders. Two employee directors resigned from the board of directors upon the election of the holders' designees. Additionally, in the event the Operational Date (generally defined as if and when the Company's initial plant in Anaheim, California first generates total operating cash flow of at least $672,000 for any consecutive three month period) has not occurred by September 30, 2006, the holders of the Series A have the right to elect a majority of the members of the Company's board of directors. This right would terminate, however, upon the first to occur of the Operational Date or the date on which less than 50% of the shares of Series A remain outstanding. Holders of Series A are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, payable quarterly in additional shares of Series A, at the rate of 8% per annum. This dividend rate was increased to 9% as of January 28, 2006 pursuant to the terms of the Series A as a result of the Company's failure to comply with certain registration rights provisions. Each share of Series A is entitled to that number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which it is convertible. In addition, so long as at least 50% of the shares of Series A remain outstanding, the Company is prohibited from taking certain actions without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A. The holders of a majority of the shares of Series A have the option to require the Company to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A on April 28, 2010 at a redemption price equal to $2.50 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to that date. In the event the holders do not exercise this redemption right, all shares of Series A will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock on such date, as described below. F - 40 Each share of Series A will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the then-effective conversion rate (i) in the event the Company consummates an underwritten public offering of its securities at a price per share not less than $5.00 and for a total gross offering amount of at least $10 million, (ii) in the event of a sale of the Company resulting in proceeds to the holders of Series A of a per share amount of at least $5.00, (iii) in the event that the closing market price of the Common Stock averages at least $7.50 per share over a period of 20 consecutive trading days and the daily trading volume averages at least 75,000 shares over such period, (iv) upon the approval of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A, or (v) unless the Company is otherwise obligated to redeem the shares as described above, on April 28, 2010. Each holder has the right to convert its shares of Series A into shares of Common Stock at the then-effective conversion rate at any time following the first to occur of (i) September 30, 2006 and (ii) the Operational Date. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing as of their issuance date, initially at an exercise price of $4.00 per share (which exercise price was subsequently revised as described below). The fair value of the Warrants was $1,328,066. The value of the Warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 6.75%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 5 years. The value of the Warrants was deducted from the face amount of the Series A Preferred and is being amortized as dividends. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the value of the Warrants has been recorded as a liability until such time as the Company meets the registration obligation of the underlying shares. In accordance with SFAS 133, the warrant liability is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to its fair value, and the adjustment is classified as other income (expense). In accordance with EITF 98-5 and 00-27 it was determined that the Series A's effective conversion price was issued at a discount to fair value. The value of this discount, called a beneficial conversion feature, was determined to be $1,328,066. The beneficial conversion feature was deducted from the carrying value of the Series A and is amortized over five years. The amortization amount is treated consistent with the treatment of preferred stock dividends. In connection with the issuance of the Securities, on April 28, 2005, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement granting the holders certain demand and piggyback registration rights with respect of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A and exercise of the Warrants. The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC on August 4, 2005 to register these shares for resale. This registration statement was withdrawn on December 19, 2005. A new registration statement covering the resale of these shares was filed with the SEC on July 27, 2006. As of August 16, 2006, this registration statement had not yet been declared effective by the SEC. In connection with this transaction, certain of the Company's officers and significant shareholders (the "Locked Up Holders"), beneficially owning approximately 13 million shares of Common Stock, agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, they would not offer, sell, contract to sell, lend, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock with respect to which the holder has beneficial ownership until the earlier of 90 days following the conversion into Common Stock of at least 50% of the shares of Series A, or 90 days following the closing of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the registration rights agreement). Chadbourn Securities, Inc. served as the Company's placement agent in connection with the offering, and for serving as such, received a cash fee from the Company of $375,000, and was issued warrants to acquire up to 244,536 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and otherwise on the same terms as the Warrants sold to the investors. Laird Cagan, a Managing Director of CMCP, acted as a registered representative of Chadbourn in connection with this offering. Our chief executive officer also works for CMCP. The fair value of the placement warrants was $861,852. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 6.75%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of four years. The value of the warrants was deducted along with the cash placement fees paid, $321,200, from the face value of the Series A. F - 41 The accounting for the Series A is as follows: Gross proceeds $ 10,189,000 Less: beneficial conversion feature (1,328,066) Less: offering costs (1,564,152) Less: warrant value at issuance date (1,328,066) ------------ Subtotal 5,968,716 Cumulative amortization of the beneficial conversion feature 309,881 Cumulative amortization of offering costs 364,964 Cumulative amortization of warrant costs 309,881 Cumulative in kind dividend 1,054,129 ------------ Balance at June 30, 2006 $ 8,007,571 ============ The consent of the holders of the Series A was required in order to consummate the issuance of the Senior Secured Debt discussed in Note 5 above. On February 6, 2006, the holders of the Series A gave such consent pursuant to a letter agreement with the Company (the "Series A Agreement"). Pursuant to the Series A Agreement, among other things, (i) the Company agreed to call a shareholders meeting to approve an amendment of certain provisions of the certificate of determination governing the terms of the Series A (including the change to the conversion rate described above), and (ii) the holders of Series A agreed to waive certain of their veto rights and contractual rights, in order to facilitate the Company's next round of financing. In consideration of the foregoing, the Company agreed to deliver to the holders of Series A warrants, ("Additional Warrants")to purchase up to a total of 407,560 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Additional Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing as of their issuance date. The fair value of the warrants, $1,647,250, was expensed during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as financing expense. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 4.82%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of five years. On April 12, 2006, in connection with obtaining the consent of the holders of the Series A to the issuance of shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock described below, the Company agreed to increase the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the original Warrants from 407,560 shares to 1,018,900 shares ("New Warrants"), and to decrease the exercise price from $4.00 per share to $2.75 per share. The change in the estimated value calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model between the original Warrants and the New Warrants of $1,135,487 was charged to other expense during the second quarter of 2006. The value of the warrants was calculated with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 5.42%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 3 years. In addition, the conversion price of the Series A was decreased. Following the guidance of FAS 123R, par. 35 for modification to equity instruments, the incremental value of the modification, computed as the difference between the fair value of the conversion feature at the new conversion price and conversion feature at the old conversion price on the modification date was deducted from earnings available to common stockholders as an effective dividend to preferred shareholders, following the presentation guidance in EITF Topic D-42. The change in the estimated value of the conversion feature using the Black-Scholes option pricing model between the original conversion price to the new conversion price was $3,065,931. The values of the conversion features were calculated with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 4.97%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70% and a term of 3 years. Series B On May 25 and May 30, 2006, the Company issued and sold a total of 284,888 shares of its newly created 8% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series B") and common stock purchase warrants. A portion of these securities were sold for $25,000,000 in cash and a portion were issued in exchange for the cancellation of $3,488,800 aggregate principal amount of Senior Debt (including accrued interest). Each share of Series B converts into 40 shares of common stock (subject to anti-dilution adjustments). The shares of Series B are convertible into a total of 11,395,520 shares of Common Stock and the warrants provide the holders with the right to purchase up to a total of 2,848,880 additional shares of common stock of the Company. Holders of Series B are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, payable quarterly in additional shares of Series B, at the rate of 8% per annum. If the Company does not comply with certain registration rights provisions, the Company is subject to liquidated damages of 1% of the total purchase price for each month that the Company fails to so comply, for up to a total of 6%. Each share of Series B is entitled to that number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of the Common Stock into which it is convertible. In addition, so long as at least 50% of the shares of Series B remain outstanding, the Company is prohibited from taking certain actions without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B. The holders of a majority of the shares of Series B have the option to require the Company to redeem all outstanding shares of Series B on April 28, 2010 at a redemption price equal to $100 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to that date. In the event the holders do not exercise this redemption right, all shares of Series B Preferred will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock on such date, as described below. F - 42 Each share of Series B will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the then-effective conversion rate (i) in the event the Company consummates an underwritten public offering of its securities at a price per share not less than $5.00 and for a total gross offering amount of at least $20 million, (ii) in the event of a sale of the Company resulting in proceeds to the holders of Series B Preferred of a per share amount of at least $200.00, (iii) in the event that the closing market price of the Common Stock averages at least $7.50 per share over a period of 20 consecutive trading days and the daily trading volume averages at least 75,000 shares over such period, (iv) upon the approval of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series B, or (v) unless the Company is otherwise obligated to redeem the shares as described above, on April 28, 2010. Each holder has the right to convert its shares of Series B into shares of Common Stock at the then-effective conversion rate at any time (subject to certain restrictions in the event such conversion would result in the holder being the beneficial holder of more than 4.99% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock). The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing as of their issuance date, at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. The fair value of the warrants was $7,225,630. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 5.42%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 3 years. In accordance with APB Opinion 14, the fair value of the warrants issued to the investors is shown as a discount to the face value of the Series B at its relative fair value of $5,697,760. The warrant value was deducted from the carrying value of the Series B and is being amortized over 47 months. The amortization amount is treated consistent with the treatment of preferred stock dividends. In accordance with EITF 98-5 and 00-27 it was determined that the Series B effective conversion price was issued at a discount to fair value. The value of this discount, called a beneficial conversion feature, was determined to be $18,207,102. The beneficial conversion feature was deducted from the carrying value of the Series B and is being amortized over 47 months. The amortization amount is treated consistent with the treatment of preferred stock dividends. In connection with the issuance of the Series B and related warrants, the Company entered into registration rights agreements granting the holders of the Series B certain demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B and exercise of the warrants. The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC on July 27, 2006 to register these shares for resale. As of August 14, 2006 this registration statement had not been declared effective by the SEC. If the registration statement is not declared effective with 6 months of the close of the transaction, the Company must pay 1 percent per month for a maximum of 6 months. Per paragraph 16 of EITF 00-19, this was determined to be an economic settlement alternative. Therefore, the warrants have been classified as equity. In connection with this transaction, certain of the Locked-Up Holders agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, they would not offer, sell, contract to sell, lend, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock with respect to which the holder has beneficial ownership until the earlier of 90 days following the conversion into Common Stock of at least 50% of the shares of Series B, or 90 days following the closing of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the applicable registration rights agreement). The Company used three placement agents in connection with the offerings of the Series B. The placement agents received cash fees from the Company of $2,275,043, and were issued warrants to acquire up to 869,180 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share and otherwise on the same terms as the Warrants sold to the investors. Chadbourn Securities, Inc. served as one of three of the Company's placement agents in connection with the offering , and for serving as such, received a cash fee from the Company of $446,050, and was issued warrants to acquire up to 210,980 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share and otherwise on the same terms as the Warrants sold to the investors. These placement fees are included in the Fees discussed in the paragraph above. Laird Cagan, a Managing Director of CMCP, acted as a registered representative of Chadbourn in connection with this offering. Our chief executive officer also works for CMCP. The fair value of the placement warrants was $2,224,903. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 5.42%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 4 years. The value of the warrants was deducted along with the cash placement fees paid and expenses, $2,359,035, from the face value of the Series B, and is being amortized over 47 months. The amortization amount is treated consistent with the treatment of preferred stock dividends. F - 43 The accounting for the Series B is as follows: Gross proceeds $ 28,488,800 Less: beneficial conversion feature (18,207,102) Less: offering costs (4,583,938) Less: warrant value at issuance date (5,697,760) ------------ Subtotal -- Cumulative amortization of the beneficial conversion feature 387,385 Cumulative amortization of offering costs 97,531 Cumulative amortization of warrant costs 121,229 Cumulative in kind dividend 203,014 ------------ Balance at June 30, 2006 $ 809,159 ============ Note 7. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Prior to the merger with Waste Solutions, Inc (WSI), WSI received $750,000 for the issuance of a promissory note and obtained a commitment for an additional $250,000 from an investor. The investor also received a warrant for the purchase of 133,333 shares of common stock for $0.01 per share in connection with these additional funds. These warrants were exercised in March of 2004. After the merger, the promissory note was exchanged for 500,000 shares of common stock in World Waste Technologies, Inc. In April 2004, the Company received the additional $250,000 for the purchase of an additional 166,667 shares of common stock. The relative fair value allocated to the warrant was $170,844 using the Black-Scholes calculation. The value of the warrant was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk free interest of 3.6%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 4 years. Prior to the merger of the Company with Voice Powered Technologies, Inc (VPTI), 500,000 shares of common stock were contributed to the Company by the founder of VPTI in connection with an agreement in which the founder sold approximately 1,000,000 other shares of common stock to accredited investors in a private sale. During the second and third quarters ended June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004 respectively, the Company obtained through a private placement an additional $3,093,910 from the sale of 2,311,872 shares of common stock, net of fees paid of $273,890 (2,245,206 of these shares were issued prior to the merger with VPTI on August 24, 2004). Under a Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a registration statement to register the resale of such shares within ninety days of completion of the Merger, August 23, 2004, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable. The registration statement, which was filed on August 6, 2005, was withdrawn on December 19, 2005. As of May 22, 2006, the registration statement has not been re-filed. During July 2004, the Company issued a warrant to a consultant for the purchase of 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share in consideration for investment banking, financial structuring and advisory services provided. The fair value of the warrant was $74,567. The value of the warrant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 3.6%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 26.4%; and a term of 4 years. The fair value of the warrant was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2004. The warrant was exercised in full in September 2004. Effective August 24, 2004, World Waste Technologies, Inc. was merged into VPTI. Prior to the merger with VPTI, the holders of the convertible promissory notes converted these notes into 1,193,500 shares of common stock of World Waste Technologies, Inc. Subsequent to the merger with VPTI, during the third and fourth quarters of the year ended December 31, 2004, in connection with a private placement of securities, the Company sold 1,192,000 units; each unit comprised of one (1) share of common stock in the Company and warrants exercisable for 0.25 shares (298,000 shares) of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share for 5 years. The fair value of the warrants was $742,222. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 3.6%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 1 to 4 years. The consideration paid for the units was $2.50 per unit, for aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $1,879,770. As of December 31, 2004, 152,000 of these warrants had been exercised for net proceeds to the Company of $1,520. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a registration statement within ninety days of completion of the private placement and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable registering the resale of the shares and shares underlying the warrants. The registration statement was filed on July 27, 2006. As of August 14, 2006 it has not been declared effective. F - 44 During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, in connection with private placements of unregistered securities, the Company raised gross proceeds of $3,387,000 by issuing 1,354,800 units (each unit comprised of one (1) share of common stock in the Company (1,354,800 shares of common stock) and warrants exercisable for 0.25 shares (338,700 warrants)) at a purchase price of $2.50 per unit. The warrants expire five years after the date of the sale of the shares and are exercisable at $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment. All of the warrants were exercised during the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The fair value of the warrants was $843,487. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 3.75%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of one year. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a registration statement within ninety days of completion of the private placement and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable registering the resale of shares and the shares underlying the warrants. The registration statement was filed on July 27, 2006. As of August 14, 2006 the registration statement has not been declared effective. Note 8.

Subsequent to May 2005 and prior to his hiring as CEO, Mr. Pimentel was paid $60,000 for consulting services by the Company. Chadbourn and Laird Q. Cagan, a registered representative of Chadbourn, acted as the placement agent (collectively, the "Placement Agent") for us in connection with the private placement of 3,923,370 shares of our common stock in 2004. In connection with those private placements, we paid the Placement Agent a commission of 8% of the price of all shares sold by it, or approximately $487,200. In addition, we paid the Placement Agent a non-accountable expense allowance (equal to 2% of the purchase price of the shares or approximately $90,000) and issued the Placement Agent, or its affiliates, warrants to purchase 392,337 of our common shares, at exercise prices between $1.00 and $2.50. The values of the warrants, $369,245,were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest of 3.6%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 4 years. During 2005, the Placement Agent acted as the placement agent for us in connection with the private placement of 1,354,800 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 338,700 shares of our common stock, the private placement of 4,075,600 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 407,560 shares of our common stock, and $4,015,000 aggregate principal amount of our senior secured promissory notes and warrants to purchase up to a total of 529,980 shares of Common Stock.

The values of the warrants, $756,247, were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: average risk-free interest rate 3.6% to 6.75%; dividend yield of 0%; average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a term of 4 years. F - 45 During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Placement Agent acted as the placement agent for the Company in connection with the private placement of the Company's senior secured promissory notes and warrants to purchase up to a total of 297,000 shares of Common Stock. In connection with this private placement, the Company paid the Placement Agent a commission of $27,500. Chadbourn served as one of three of the Company's placement agents in connection with the offering of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, and for serving as such, received a cash fee from the Company of $446,050, and was issued warrants to acquire up to 210,980 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share and otherwise on the same terms as the Warrants sold to the investors. Note 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 27, 2006, the Company filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the SEC covering the resale of up to 33,142,571 shares held by or issuable to certain of our stockholders and warrantholders. This registration statement has not yet been declared effective by the SEC. Note 11. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF FORM 10-KSB On May 12, 2006, the Company determined that it would amend its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 and each of the 10-QSBs included in such year to correct certain accounting errors in the financial statements included in such reports. The accounting errors corrected in the financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 related to the fair value of options and warrants and the classification of Redeemable Preferred Stock, as follows: 1) Fair value of options and warrants: As previously disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC, on August 24, 2004 World Waste Technologies, Inc., a private company ("WWT") completed a reverse merger with and into a subsidiary of Voice Powered Technologies International, Inc ("VPTI"), a publicly-traded company with no assets, liabilities or operations. As a result of this merger, VPTI (renamed World Waste Technologies, Inc.) succeeded to all of the assets, liabilities and operations of WWT. In order to properly account for the expense associated with the issuance of options and warrants, it is required to determine the fair value of these securities. In determining this value the Company undertook a "Black Scholes" analysis, a method of valuation that takes into account the expected volatility of the stock underlying the convertible securities being valued. Because at the time of this valuation the Company had no stock trading history as a company with the operations of WWT (i.e. all of the trading had been as VPTI, a company with no operations), in determining its expected volatility, the Company decided to use the trading prices of a representative sample of companies within its industry as opposed to VPTI's trading history. Based on discussions with the staff of the SEC as to current practices in applying the applicable accounting guidelines (SFAS 123R) and further review of the authoritative accounting literature for new public companies, the Company concluded that the use of a volatility factor more consistent with its stage of life cycle and financial leverage would be more appropriate than a volatility factor based on the trading of shares of companies within its industry. As a result, the Company changed the volatility factor previously used from approximately 20% to 70%. Based on this analysis, the Company also changed the price used in calculating the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with a private placement of our Series A Preferred Stock from the price such shares were actually sold at to the quoted market price of the Company's stock as of the closing of such issuance. These changes affected primarily the recorded value on our balance sheet of the following line item accounts: Debt Offering Costs, Patent and Licenses, Senior Secured Debt, Redeemable Preferred Stock, Warrant Liability, Additional Paid in Capital and Deficit Accumulated during the Development Stage. This change had the impact on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 of General and Administrative Expense increased by $63,944 for the increase in employee option expense and Change in fair value of warrant liabilities increase by $235,957 resulting in a net decrease in the Net Loss of $172,014. Also in 2005, the amortization of Preferred Stock warrants, offering costs and beneficial conversion feature classified similar to Preferred Stock dividends increased by $122,984. 2) Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock: The Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock had been classified as a liability because it is redeemable at the end of five years, at the option of the holders. Upon further review of authoritative literature, Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock will be reclassified as "mezzanine equity" rather than as a liability. This change had no impact on the Company's 2004 or 2005 Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impact of these adjustments on the operating results of for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was an increase in general and administrative expense of $46,000, increase in other income of $236,000 and an increase in amortization of the beneficial conversion feature and warrant value of $123,000. F - 46 PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS ITEM 13. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION We estimate that expenses in connection with the distribution described in this registration statement (other than brokerage commissions, discounts or other expenses relating to the sale of the shares by the selling shareholders) will be as set forth below. We will pay all of the expenses with respect to the distribution, and such amounts, with the exception of the Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee, are estimates. SEC registration fee .............. $ 11,529 Accounting fees and expenses ...... 20,000 Legal fees and expenses ........... 100,000 Printing and related expenses ..... 10,000 -------- Total ............................. $141,529 ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no officer or director shall be personally liable to our corporation or our stockholders for monetary damages except as provided pursuant to California law. Our bylaws and Articles of Incorporation also provide that we shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who serves at any time as a director, officer, employee or agent of our company from and against any and all claims, judgments and liabilities to which such person shall become subject by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of our company, and shall reimburse such person for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any such claim or liability. We also have the power to defend such person from all suits or claims in accord with California law. The rights accruing to any person under our bylaws and Articles of Incorporation do not exclude any other right to which any such person may lawfully be entitled, and we may indemnify or reimburse such person in any proper case, even though not specifically provided for by our bylaws or Articles of Incorporation. In addition, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, with each of our directors and executive officers, which may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions of California law. These indemnification agreements generally require us, among other things, to indemnify our officers and directors against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct. These indemnification agreements also generally require us to advance any expenses incurred by our directors or executive officers as a result of any proceedings against them as to which they could be indemnified. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. We have obtained director and officer liability insurance to cover liabilities our directors and officers may incur in connection with their services to us, including matters arising under the Securities Act of 1933. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents in which indemnification will be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for such indemnification. II-1 ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES Commencing in 2003 and through August 24, 2004, World Waste Technologies, Inc., a privately held development stage company ("Old WWT"), issued and sold a total of 20,063,706 shares of its common stock to a number of individual and institutional investors for net proceeds of approximately $5.4 million. These proceeds were issued by Old WWT for general working capital purposes. All but 34 of the investors were accredited. In June 2004, Old WWT issued warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of Old WWT's common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share to the owners of Bio-Products, in consideration for their assistance in helping Old WWT obtain certain modifications to Old WWT's license agreement. In July 2004, we issued a warrant to acquire up to 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, in exchange for consulting services. On August 24, 2004, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Old WWT in exchange for the issuance by us of 20,063,706 shares of our restricted common stock. At the time of this acquisition, all but 34 of the shareholders of Old WWT represented to us in writing that they were accredited investors. During 2004, we issued warrants to acquire up to a total of 250,000 shares or our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to three of our officers, as compensation for services rendered. In December 2005, 150,000 of these options were repriced to an exercise price of $2.60 per share.

UNDERTAKINGS (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of securities are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"); (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. (2) That, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
