The Company applies Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and Related Interpretations, in accounting for stock warrants issued to employees. Under APB No. 25, employee compensation cost is recognized when estimated fair value of the underlying stock on date of grant exceeds exercise price of the stock option. For stock options and warrants issued to non-employees, the Company applies Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which requires the recognition of compensation cost based upon the fair value of stock warrants at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation |
The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing in this prospectus. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward- looking statements.
Overview
We are a developmental stage company that is in the process of implementing our business plan to develop a showcase waste to energy facility at a site to be determined. The first showcase installation will be the cornerstone for both United States and European expansion. It will thermally convert rubber waste to oil and subsequently use the oil as fuel for large reciprocating engines driving alternators making electricity. In addition to the sale of electricity, several additional valuable bi-products produced in the thermal conversion process will also be sold into either domestic or international markets.
Our business plan is focused on providing large urban centers with community based processing facilities to address the needs of rubber waste disposal where the waste is generated. This rubber waste is largely scrap tires. Similarly, large urban centers also have an increasing requirement for electrical energy for both domestic and industrial use. Our processing facilities can be located, constructed and operated to meet the specific needs of the community in an environmentally friendly manner.
We believe that the effective implementation of our business plan will result in our position as a provider of community based waste to energy installations dealing with rubber waste at source while providing reliable electrical energy to meet base load and/or on peak energy demands.
The successful implementation of the business plan will also be dependent on our ability to meet the challenges of developing a management team capable of not only the construction and operation of the first installation but also marketing management and the implementation of specific marketing strategies. These strategies will include the utilization of specific existing distributors currently in the business of marketing carbon black. As well, we will be going to regional disposal operators and collectors to offer our services as a point of final disposition for their collection and disposal requirements.
Additionally, it will be necessary to educate targeted jurisdictions about the environmental and commercial benefits of an Alliance installation in their community.
No revenues have been generated to date and we do not anticipate revenues until such time as the first facility has been constructed and commercially operated. The construction of the first showcase facility will require $20 million. However, currently there are no commitments for capital and furthermore, the successful implementation of all aspects of the business plan is subject to our ability to complete the $20 Million capitalization. It is expected the required funds will be raised as a result of private offerings of securities or debt, or other sources.
Should the required funding not be forthcoming from the aforementioned sources, public offerings of equity, or securities convertible into equity may be necessary. In any event, our investors should assume that any additional funding will cause substantial dilution to current stockholders. In addition, we may not be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms, if at all.
Our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The notes to our financial statements include an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Among the reasons cited in the notes as raising substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern are the following: we area development stage company with no operations, a stockholders' deficiency of $109,666 and cash used in operations from inception through December 31, 2004 of $511,908. As of June 30, 2005, we had a stockholders' deficiency of $267,409 and cash used in operations from inception through June 30, 2005 of $1,075,970.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to further implement our business plan, raise additional capital and generate revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We will receive proceeds of $2,676,502 from the exercise of the 2,676,502 warrants which are exercisable at $1.00 per share. In addition, we will also receive also receive $1,250,000 from the exercise of the 200,000 Mirador warrants which are exercisable at the following prices: 100,000 at $5.00 per share and 100,000 at $7.50 per shares. Therefore, we will receive aggregate proceeds of $3,926,502 from the exercise of the outstanding warrants. Any proceeds from the exercise of the warrants will be allocated for general working capital. We have agreed to pay all the offering expenses related to this offering.
Plan of Operations
Management has developed forged relations with several corporate finance entities that have expressed an interest in participating in our overall expansion in the United States and Europe. In most cases, as a condition precedent to their participation, we must be publicly traded or quoted on a recognized stock exchange such as the OTC Bulletin Board.
We intend to seek a quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. We will need to have an NASD registered broker-dealer file an application for such quotation. There are no quantitative or qualitative requirements for a quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. The efforts of our management team and our consultants and advisors will be to complete appropriate financing arrangements. The completion of the $20 million financing will be our exclusive effort prior to the construction and development of the first installation.
Upon completion of the $20 million capitalization, our next priority will be the construction of the first installation. For this construction, it will be necessary for management to initially focus on two specific activities. First, project management consultants will be engaged to assist us in all matters associated with the identifying and preparing the site. This activity includes regulatory approvals as well as final design and layout based upon commercial equipment available for procurement and/or fabrication.
In the event we are not able to raise $20,000,000 to complete construction of our first showcase facility, we will be forced to seek additional financing in order to maintain operations over the next 12 months. Our existing shareholders have indicated a willingness to invest further capital in us.
In addition, we will continue to develop our industry contacts, develop our business plan, refine our technology, search for suitable sites, and devote efforts to securing the capital required to implement our business plan.
Second, our management and consulting engineers will commence activities to enlarge our management team by adding key employees as well as consultants that will be responsible for specific tasks & operations associated with the first installation.
During the permitting period, estimated by management and their consulting Engineers, to be 90 to 120 days, our engineering and fabrication team will finalize design and layouts for the first site as well as prepare and circulate site building bid documents. Similarly, turnkey contracts will be negotiated for specific pieces of the thermal processing equipment utilized in the rubber to oil conversion process. The supply and operation of the electrical generation equipment will also be contracted out during this period of the development. We have already identified and pre-qualified several suppliers of the type of electrical generation equipment. However, as a result of the preliminary stage of these discussions, we are unable to provide greater detail as to the exact nature of the relationship or participation of these suppliers.
Also at this time, some preliminary site work will be completed to facilitate the installation of the design/build structures required. The site will also be prepared to accept the modularized electrical generation equipment that will be installed on the site subsequent to the installation and start-up of the thermal conversion process. The contracted operator of the electrical generation equipment will also be responsible for the sale of electricity. During initial discussions with these supplier/operators, an interest has been expressed in participating in our overall business. Some discussions pertaining to the exchange of our shares for all, or part, of the value of the turnkey have transpired. However, it is unlikely that meaningful discussions will commence until such time as our capitalization set forth above has been completed. Even if the capitalization has been completed, there can be no certainty that the contract operators will participate in the first installation other than on a fee for services basis. In any event, until such time as the $20 Million capitalization has been completed, specific details pertaining to the participation of supplier/operators will not be available and we are unable to provide the details of any possible forthcoming agreements.
Management and their consulting engineers believe that, the overall fabrication and installation timeframe is approximately 365 days from execution of contracts. As all the components utilized in our installation are currently in use in manufacturing operations in the United States and around the world, lead times for delivery and installation are generally short. Several components are stock items and available for almost immediate delivery. However, the engineering firm responsible for the overall project management of the first installation will monitor all fabricator/suppliers to ensure that the various components and required ancillary equipment and structures have been readied onsite for installation. Additionally, engineering verification will be required for all progress draws prior to our making payments to the various supplier/fabricators. As is customary with the supply of this type of equipment, established payment holdbacks upon completion of installation and start-up will be released only upon engineering verification of performance. Additionally, it may be necessary for selected fabricator/suppliers to provide delivery and performance bonds specific to their components.
The entire project could be delayed as a direct result of several factors. Should the Company not be able to a lease or purchase of a suitable property within a timely manner, the project could be delayed indefinitely until such time as an appropriate site is secured. Although the Company has located several suitable sites that could be appropriately permitted, unforeseen regulatory changes could make it difficult to obtain the required permits causing further delays thereby causing the Company to take additional time to identify other suitable sites. Should there be delays in the delivery of thermal processing or electrical generation equipment as a result of material shortages, labor problems, transportation difficulties etc., the commercial operation of the Company would be delayed thereby not allowing the Company to generate revenues as anticipated. Should the delay be lengthy, management could be required to seek additional financing or seek other remedies in law pertaining to delivery and performance failures of the fabricator suppliers. Regulatory changes causing delays in the construction, processing equipment installation and start-up of the showcase facility will lengthen the period of time for the Company to start to generate revenues from operations. The Company will only be in the position to commence a US expansion of processing facilities upon the successful completion, start-up and operation of the showcase facility.
The supplier/fabricators will also be responsible for the training of key employees and/or contractors and will work with the engineering project managers to include established operating protocols in the systems operations manual. In conjunction with this effort, during the start-up of the first installation, fabricator/suppliers and the project management will establish operating set points incorporating them into the system software thereby ensuring continued reliable system performance and measurable quality standards.
It is management’s and their consulting engineers opinion that overall, the entire installation through construction completion, training, start-up and commercial acceptance based upon engineering performance verification is approximately 18 months. The overall development schedule could be delayed as a result of unforeseen regulatory delays, labor disputes and seasonal delays due to weather conditions.
Pursuant to preliminary discussions with corporate finance professionals, items #16 through #18 set forth below are anticipated fees and expenses pertaining to the $20 million financing that we will be seeking. The following schedule outlines the categories associated with the financing, completion, start-up and commercial operation of the first installation. It is expected that many of the following development categories outlined in the following schedule will be completed concurrently.

During the construction and installation of the first facility, management’s future Vice President of Marketing with assistance from its future Vice President of Technology will commence a specific and targeted marketing campaign directed at the current rubber waste disposal infrastructure, regulatory agencies, retail associations and the public. Promotional activities will include media, public awareness, trade journals, seminars and meetings and discussions with waste hauler and disposal companies. These activities will also include meetings and discussions with state regulatory and enforcement officials.
Based upon discussions with state regulators, it is the Company’s belief that all communities in the United States and Canada are being encouraged by state, provincial and federal authorities to be more environmentally responsible. An example of amplified environmental concern occurring in 2004 was the State of Michigan’s position pertaining to the continued dumping of waste from out-of-state communities that included Toronto, Ontario, Canada. State regulations were implemented in an attempt to curtail the amount and sources of waste being disposed at Michigan dump sites. It is managements belief, that since the early 1990s the federal EPA has been concerned with the interstate transportation of waste. The federal position seems to be that communities that generate should be responsible for the ultimate disposition of the waste within their municipality. A attempt to limit interstate transportation of waste was contained in the Interstate Modal Transportation Act which was never approved.
Community based environmental initiatives are being encouraged. Dealing with waste at the source is considered much more environmentally friendly than trucking the waste hundreds of miles away. The first installation is perceived as a convenient and environmentally friendly solution to rubber waste. The targeted marketing campaign will exploit the current thinking pertaining to community based waste reduction and processing and waste to energy initiatives. However, there may be difficulties associated with encouraging the existing disposal and transportation infrastructure to utilize the Alliance installation as an alternative to their current method of disposal. Historic relationships between the existing infrastructure serving retailers and dumps or processors often hundreds of miles away and the financial commitment to the trucking the waste may be difficult to overcome. However, management’s discussion with several haulers has been encouraging as a cost effective alternative to the existing transportation of waste to often out-of-state locations is a welcomed alternative.
A targeted marketing campaign pertaining to the sale of carbon black and scrap steel will also commence prior to completion of construction. However, the Company may not be positioned to enter into carbon black supply contracts until such time as samples are made available from the operation of the showcase facility. It is likely that these samples would be made available as a result of operation the processing equipment during the performance testing phase of the installation and immediately prior to commercial certification. The commercial certification will occur after the equipment has operated for a period of approximately 90 days and all contract performance specifications have been achieved. There may be delays associated with the correction of deficiencies in order that the processing equipment meet certain performance standards prior to commercial certification. However, the Company has included the 90 day start-up phase within the overall timeline to allow for the correction of deficiencies by fabricator suppliers. Although the vast majority of the rubber to oil system is based upon off-the-shelf components, if further delays occur as a result of fabricator suppliers correction of deficiencies, the Company could be delayed in its ability to generate revenue.
Although, we have identified several experts currently responsible for the sale of carbon products currently with other companies and they have expressed an interest in the position of VP Marketing, there is no guarantee that their previous experience will allow them to successfully initiate a campaign that will lead to the sale of the Companies carbon black. However, the successful operation of the thermal system will generate commercial grades of carbon black that could be utilized by rubber formulation companies for specific products. Additionally, the Company’s carbon black could be blended with other sources of carbon black thereby allowing rubber formulators to meet customers requirements for recycled content. We believe our carbon black will be advantageous to other forms of recycled content as it will be is a virgin product made from oil that is a waste rubber derivative.
Furthermore, the heat recovery system utilized through the entire system will be ready to deliver hot water and/or steam to a greenhouse operator. Although we have yet to complete an agreement with a hydroponics greenhouse operator, preliminary discussions with several current operators would indicate that the availability of a reliable discounted heat source for the production of hot water, could be a cost effective alternative to their current consumption of non-renewable resources to fuel boilers to generate the required hot water.
The ARC installation is designed to operate continuously. As a result, the installation has the ability to produce heat constantly to service the hot water requirements of a hydroponics operator or other commercial uses. The heat produced can be considered a bi-product from the operation of the thermal conversion and electrical generation equipment. Rather than utilizing the heat source for any particular use, the Company could use a commercial cooling tower to cool the thermal processing equipment and could decide not to operate the heat recovery system components associated with the reciprocating engines responsible for the generation of electricity. However, management believes that utilizing the bi-product heat capacity in an environmentally friendly way is a common sense alternative to exhausting heat into the atmosphere. It is the belief of management, our consulting engineers and the several of the hydroponics operators that have discussed our ability to generate heat, that a15 to 20 acre hydroponics greenhouse could be heated from the heat recovered from the thermal process heat recovery boiler in combination with the heat available from standard heat recovery mechanisms that are part of the reciprocating engines driving the alternators making electricity.
The type of relationship discussed is based upon the notion that the hydroponics greenhouse operator would lease a site immediately adjacent to the showcase facility. Based upon our final equipment selection, pertaining to both the thermal conversion of rubber to oil and the generation of electricity, the Company will be positioned to provide details as to the amount of steam and/or hot water that be generated for conveyance to the greenhouse via an insulated pipeline. A heat exchanger will transfer the heat from the ARC steam and/or hot water to the hot water in the hydroponics operator’s underground reservoir. The ARC cooled condensate and/or water will be returned to the ARC via the aforementioned pipeline heated again and once again returned to the greenhouse in a closed loop system.
Several methods of compensation for ARC heat sources have been discussed. These include a percentage of the hydroponics greenhouse gross or not sales and discounted avoided cost which is the operators cost of natural gas or fuel oil less a negotiated discount. The Company will not be positioned to enter into specific negotiations until such time as the $20 Million financing has been completed.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Item 3. | Controls and Procedures |
(a) | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. |
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively the “Certifying Officers”) maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management timely. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, the Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule [13a-14(c)/15d-14(c)] under the Exchange Act) within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relative to our company required to be disclosed in our periodic filings with the SEC.
(b) | Changes in internal controls. |
Our Certifying Officer has indicated that there were no changes in our internal controls or other factors that could affect such controls subsequent to the date of his evaluation, and there were no such control actions with regard to deficiencies and material weaknesses.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are currently not a party to any pending legal proceedings and no such action by, or to the best of its knowledge, against us has been threatened.
Item 2. Changes in Securities.
On April 22, 2005, we issued 15,000 shares of our restricted common stock to the following parties for cash consideration of $1.00 per share: Jacqueline Lewis - 5,000 shares; Michael Miletich - 5,000 shares and Michael Eagen - 5,000 shares. Messrs. Eagen and Miletich have been close friends of Peter Vaisler for numerous years, and Ms. Lewis is related to Mr. Miletich. The issuances were valued at $1.00 per share or $15,000 in the aggregate. On May 4, 2005, we issued 105,000 shares of our restricted common stock to the following parties for cash consideration of $1.00 per share: Lewis J. Martin - 55,000 shares and Rod Robinson-50,000 shares. Messrs. Martin and Robinson are our present shareholders. The issuances were valued at $1.00 per share or $105,000 in the aggregate.
Our shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. No commissions were paid for the issuance of such shares. All of the above issuances of shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance of such shares by us did not involve a public offering. The above listed parties were sophisticated investors and had access to information normally provided in a prospectus regarding us. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the above listed parties had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received a share certificate bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. These restrictions ensure that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for the above transaction.
