AMERICAN FIBER GREEN PRODUCTS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
As of March 31, 2009 and for the
Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
American Fiber Green Products, Inc. (AFBG) came into existence as a result of the following transactions:
In March of 1993, William Amour founded Amour Hydro Press, Inc. (AHP) to conduct research and development to commercialize proprietary technology that would allow the Company to process waste fiberglass and resins into new commercially viable products.
In January of 1996 the Board of Directors authorized the merger of AHP with Amour Fiber Core, Inc. a Washington corporation. Each common share of Amour Hydro Press, Inc. was exchanged for 280 common shares of Amour Fiber Core, Inc. The authorized shares of Amour Fiber Core, Inc. were 5,000,000 shares. The company operated under this configuration until June 1998 when the Board of Directors approved a three for one forward split (3:1) increasing the authorized shares from 5,000,000 to 15,000,000 common shares. Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation were filed with the State of Washington. Although approved and recorded, the 3:1 forward split was not reported to the transfer agent of the Company. The resulting change in common stock was from 3,675,996 to 11,027,988 common shares issued and outstanding.
Within months of these actions, William Amour, founder and driving force behind the business was diagnosed with cancer and died in 1999. Attempts by the board to continue the operation of Amour Fiber Core, Inc. resulted in substantially more debt and ultimately the cessation of operations. The value of the company was in the exclusive rights to the proprietary technology, as well as the resources developed to source raw material and vendors and the ability to create viable products from waste material. There were 884 shareholders of record at the time of William Amour’s passing and they remained committed to the success of the Company. The Company ceased operations in January 2000, however, management continued to search for investors to be able to restart production.
On September 15, 2001, after several months of discussion and negotiations, Kenneth McCleave incorporated American Leisure Products, Inc. a Florida corporation, of which he was the sole shareholder of the 100,000 issued and outstanding shares for the purpose of merger with Amour Fiber Core, Inc. The terms and conditions of said merger included Mr. McCleave’s assistance in resolution of a number of problems restricting Amour. Litigation with the landlord and disgruntled note holders threatened the collapse of the Company unless amicable resolution was achieved. The terms of the merger were established and the concerns were resolved over the subsequent 24 months.
In May of 2004, following appropriate shareholder consent and board action, Amour Fiber Core, Inc. (Washington) merged with a newly formed Nevada corporation of the same name and with the same issued and outstanding shares 11,027,988. Amour Fiber Core, Inc. (Nevada) has authorized 350,000,000 common and 5,000,000 preferred shares.
On May 24, 2004, Amour Fiber Core, Inc. (Nevada) then entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with American Leisure Products, Inc., a Florida corporation with a total issued and outstanding 100,000 common shares. A 1:6 reverse split of the Amour Fiber Core, Inc. shares held by the AFC shareholders reduced the issued and outstanding common shares of AFC (Nevada) from 11,027,988 to 1,837,998. The merger called for each share of ALP to convert to 73.52 shares of Amour Fiber Core, Inc. (Nevada). The sole shareholder of ALP received 7,352,000 shares of Amour Fiber Core, Inc. (Nevada) in the merger (i.e. a conversion ratio of 73.52:1). Following this transaction, Amour Fiber Core, Inc. (Nevada) had 9,189,998 shares outstanding.
Following this merger and in keeping with the Shareholder Consent and subsequent board action, the name of Amour Fiber Core, Inc. (Nevada) was changed to American Fiber Green Products, Inc. American Leisure Products, Inc. (a Florida corporation) became a wholly owned subsidiary of American Fiber Green Products, Inc. The assets and opportunities of American Fiber Green Products, Inc. (f/k/a Amour Nevada and Amour Washington) were moved to a newly formed, Amour Fiber Core, Inc., (a Florida Corporation) as a wholly owned subsidiary. The resulting structure is American Fiber Green Products, Inc. (Nevada) holding 100% of the stock of American Leisure Products, Inc. (Florida) and Amour Fiber Core, Inc. (Florida).

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
As of March 31, 2009 and for the
Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain additional debt and/or equity financing. The Company has incurred losses since inception and, the Company has not generated any revenues from its products. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company will begin construction of a plant upon funding and expects to complete the project and to begin production within the next 18 months. Although the cost of construction has not been quantified, the Company estimates the cost to be approximately $250,000 per plant unit. Management plans to raise additional funds through the sale of sub-licensing agreements, project financings or through future sales of their common stock, until such time as the Company’s revenues ar e sufficient to meet its cost structure, and ultimately achieve profitable operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or achieving profitable operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 3 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, (b) the financial position at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and (c) cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, have been made.
The unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the activity of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
NOTE 4 - NOTES RECEIVABLE
The Company has made loans to several companies, both owned by officers and stockholders of the Company and to unrelated parties. The purpose of these loans was to invest in other fiberglass manufacturing businesses in order to facilitate the development and production of fiberglass products. The Company does not expect repayment of these amounts to occur during the next 12 months.
Notes receivable are made up of the following:
Note receivable, related party, 10% interest, due May 12, 2004 (past maturity) |
| $ | 6,000 |
|
Note receivable, related party, 10% interest, due April 30, 2005 (past maturity) |

AMERICAN FIBER GREEN PRODUCTS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
As of March 31, 2009 and for the
Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
The above related party transactions are not necessarily indicative of the terms and amounts that would have been incurred had comparable agreements been made with independent parties.
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company entered into an employment agreement with a key employee. The employment agreement is for a period of three years, with prescribed percentage increases beginning in 2007 and can be cancelled upon a written notice by either employee or employer (if certain employee acts of misconduct are committed). The total annual payment under the employment agreement is $63,000 for 2009.
The Company anticipates that it will enter into employment contracts with two other key employees in 2009 under similar terms and conditions. Specifics will be determined by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.
The Company entered into an agreement with three individuals to join the Company’s board of directors. Directors will be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred while performing their duties. Under the terms of the agreement the individuals will receive no other compensation, although this may change in the future.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company is currently operating in a facility leased and operated by Public Acquisition Company (PAC). PAC is owned by Ken McCleave, Chairman of AFBG. No occupancy cost has been charged to AFBG by PAC as of March 31, 2009. There is no assurance that this favorable treatment will continue in the future if AFBG begins to facilitate operations at that site.
The above related party transactions are not necessarily indicative of the terms and amounts that would have been incurred had comparable agreements been made with independent parties.
NOTE 7 - DEFERRED WAGES
The Company has accrued salaries owed to four individuals. Only one of the four employees is covered by an employment agreement, see Note 5. The amounts due are fixed without any interest or other escalating cost and the Company does not expect to make any payments on these deferred wages during the next twelve months, and therefore the balances are classified as non-current.
NOTE 8 - NOTES PAYABLE

General Overview
American Fiber Green Products, Inc.
From its inception, American Fiber Green Products, Inc. (f/k/a Amour Hydro Press, Inc; Amour Fiber Core, Inc. [Washington]; Amour Fiber Core, Inc. [Nevada]) has had a focus on the production of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) products to take to market, beginning with the patented recycling technology developed by William Amour, the Company’s founder. After spending millions of dollars on research and development and proving that the technology could, in fact, recycle fiberglass waste and produce superior fiberglass products, the Company was forced to suspend operations due to the death of Mr. Amour in 1999. Several years of stagnation and distress left the Company, its creditors and its nearly 850 shareholders on the verge of total loss. In 2001 Kenneth McCleave started dialogue with the Management and shareholders of the Company about merging with American Leisure Products, Inc., a company that would use virgin materials to produce vintage cars , boats and other FRP products. These discussions resulted in a concerted effort by McCleave and his team, as well as the Officers and Directors of the Company, to establish support for and confidence in the proposed plan of merger. In May of 2004 after much creditor negotiation, resolution of legal matters and personal visits with hundreds of shareholders representing over 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, the merger was completed between Amour Fiber Core, Inc. (Nevada) and American Leisure Products, Inc. (Florida). Simultaneously, the combined companies effected a name change to American Fiber Green Products, Inc. (AFBG). The Company established that the future operations of the two merged companies would represent two divisions of AFBG. Amour Fiber Core, Inc. (Florida) had been formed to be a subsidiary of American Fiber Green Products, Inc. specifically fiberglass waste recycling. American Leisure Products, Inc. (Florida) will produce fiberglass components from new materials.

Amour Fiber Core
We plan to generate revenues from several areas; a technology and proprietary process for the recycling of fiberglass. Revenues can be produced from the following areas:
Amour Fiber Core’s primary focus will be to recycle fiberglass, produce products from recycled material and sell license agreements for its process. The Company has developed, tested and previously placed into limited commercial production, a new technology for fiberglass reclamation manufacturing. It has adapted this technology to establish a manufacturing business. From the research and development in Amour’s early stages many different products have been prototyped and tested. Building on this foundation, management has determined that the pilot plant to be constructed in Florida and will produce general planking or boards for marine decking and seawalls. Marketing the planking will help to “brand” our name through park benches and picnic tables as part of our first line of finished goods.
We intend to offer contracts for licensing of our patented technology. The Company believes that licensing its technology to businesses in foreign countries and the North American market can be an effective method to maximize the return on its investment in the continued development of its fiberglass recycling technology, without significant additional capital outlays. Additionally, such licensing agreements will increase the Company’s public visibility and general awareness of its technology. The licensee will be required to pay an upfront fee for the sub-license, equipment and training prior to delivery and a royalty fee to the Company for each item produced by the licensee. If the wholesale price of the licensee’s produced products are significantly below the production costs of products produced by the Company, the Company may also offer to purchase product from the licensees. The Company believes the establishment of licensees in various foreign countries is an effective means of introducing the Company’s technology into new markets without major capital outlays.
American Leisure Products
American Leisure Products (ALP) will produce FRP parts within the fiberglass industry. In addition, the Company will produce parts from the company owned molds for the after market hot rod industry and the marine industry. ALP will produce and sell vintage car bodies, boats, and other fiberglass components in the leisure products line. The leisure market has been defined in recent years as one of the fastest growing market segments because of ‘baby boomers’ who have reached a point of financial affluence and increasing leisure time. Their desire to enjoy the ‘fruits of their labor’ has created a massive market that our products will feed. The Company currently owns molds for several products, but will also be acquiring additional molds and tooling as funding is achieved through debt or equity or the combination.
Results of Operations
Revenues
The Company had no revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company has suspended all operations for the past several years while management effected the changes in corporate structure, built a management team, studied the market trends, and generated investment interest in the Company’s business model and opportunity. The Company plans to build a pilot plant in during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010. The Company has begun the process of establishing a network of sub-licensees to collect and process waste fiberglass and to produce finished goods from that process. These sub-licenses will provide income to the Company in initial fees for acquiring the license as well as ongoing revenue from production royalties.
Expenses
The Company incurred interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $21,410, compared to interest expense of $31,071 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Interest was charged based on the stated interest rates set forth in the notes. Reduced interest expense of $9,661 is due to notes payable plus accrued interest being converted to stock in 2008 at $0.05 per share according to note holder agreements. The Company has also negotiated with note holders and assigns to have interest after 3-31-08 forgiven on four additional notes.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $23,304 compared to $34,523 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

General Trends and Outlook
We believe that our immediate outlook is extremely favorable, as we believe there is no other company competing with us on a nationwide basis in our market niche for recycling fiberglass and only a limited number of companies competing with us in of our products within American Leisure Products. However, there is no assurance that such national competitor will not arise in the future. We do not anticipate any major changes in the Recycling industry. We believe that 2009 will be a significant growth year, and besides the operational business strategies discussed above, we intend to implement the following plans in 2009 and 2010 in order to maintain and expand our opportunity.
We plan to staff our facility in Tampa, Florida, with customer service representatives and logistical support personnel to build our Pilot Plant and complete our tooling requirements. Currently this facility is limited in staff. The Tampa plant will serve as the selling platform for the sub-licensing of Amour Fiber Core’s patented technology. Additionally, we will utilize this facility to directly distribute American Leisure’s products to the market.
As we gain strength and stability in the U.S. domestic market, we intend to expand our influence and market in other areas of the world through our license agreements. Inquiries about acquiring use of the Amour recycling technology have been received from Japan, Australia, England, France, Turkey, Egypt, the African continent, Indonesia, Ireland, the Caribbean basin and Canada.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company has had a net loss of $41,485 and cash used by operations of $25, and negative working capital of $331,882 at March 31, 2009. In view of these matters, recoverability of recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is dependent upon the Company’s ability to expand operations and to achieve a level of profitability. The Company has financed its activities principally from private funding. The Company intends to finance its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
Unpredictability of future revenues; Potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results; Seasonality
As a result of the Company’s limited operating history, the Company is unable to accurately forecast its revenues. The Company’s current and future expense levels are based largely on its investment plans and estimates of future revenues and are to a large extent fixed and expected to increase.
Sales and operating results generally depend on the volume of, timing of and ability to fulfill the number of orders received and the ability to obtain raw materials at a reasonable price. The Company may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenues in relation to the Company’s planned expenditures would have an immediate adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Further, as a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, the Company may from time to time make certain pricing, service or marketing decisions which could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company expects to experience significant fluctuations in its future quarterly operating results due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control. Factors that may adversely affect the Company’s quarterly operating results include (i) the Company’s ability to retain customers, attract new customers at a steady rate and maintain customer satisfaction, we cannot be sure that we will be able to attract sufficient customers to maintain or grow revenue and consequently our long term growth and success may be negatively impacted; (ii) the announcement or introduction of new technology by the Company and its competitors, we cannot be sure that our competition will not significantly impact our customer base, and thereby negatively impact our revenues, with new and improved technology; (iii) price competition or higher prices in the industry, we cannot be sure that we will be able to maintain our current pri cing structure and gross margins to be able to compete with new competitors at reasonable prices; (iv) the Company’s ability to upgrade and develop its systems and infrastructure and attract new personnel in a timely and effective manner, the Company cannot be sure that it will be able to raise sufficient capital in order for it to grow its infrastructure; (v) governmental regulation, the Company must comply with regulations from several governmental agencies to ensure compliance of products, recycling processes and manufacturing

facilities, but there is no assurance that the regulations will not change or become more restrictive in the future, thereby limiting the ability of the Company to produce cost effective products.
Capital Stock
Preferred Stock
Although the board has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001, none have been issued.
Capital Expenditures
We expect in the future to incur capital expenditures. Since our inception, the research and development has been completed. For each division in 2009-2010, we expect to have total capital expenditures of $525,000.00 — Amour Fiber Core $250,000 for the pilot plant, American Leisure Products $275,000.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the three month period ending March 31, 2009 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. This conclusion by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer does not relate to reporting periods after March 31, 2009.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) of the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2009 under the criteria set forth in theInternal Control—Integrated Framework.
15
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has determined that material weaknesses exist due to the lack of segregation of duties, resulting from the Company’s limited resources.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
CHANGE IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
There have been no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
