D. Risk Factors
The following is a brief discussion of those distinctive or special characteristics of the Company's operations and industry which may have a material impact on the Company's business development, or constitute risk factors in respect of the Company's financial performance.
We lack an extensive operating history on which to base an evaluation of our performance.
Our business performance is difficult to evaluate because we have a limited operating history with our current range of operations. Our distributor/dealer license agreement with Inergy Plus Technologies Inc. was signed in December 2011, as was our distribution agreement with I-DES Inc. Our acquisition of Intercept Rentals was completed in March, 2012. In considering whether to invest in our common stock, you should consider that we have earned no revenues since 2006 and there is only limited historical financial and operating information available on which to base your evaluation of our expected performance.
Liquidity risk.
We have losses which may continue into the future. We have a history of operating losses since inception totaling $11,284,697 to December 31, 2011. There can be no assurances we will be profitable in the future. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our expectations.
We have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and on debt financing to meet our cash requirements. While we will require additional funding, we may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms and a decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability raise an adequate level of working capital.
There are a large number of shares underlying our warrants that may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.
As of April 26, 2012, we had 70,526,462 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and share purchase warrants convertible into a further 29,248,664 shares of common stock. The future sale of shares that may be issued on the exercise of our stock purchase warrants could impact negatively on the market price of our common stock.
Future issuances of shares may adversely impact the value of our stock.
We may attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or convertible debt. Future issuances of common stock or convertible debt may dilute or potentially dilute your position in us.
We are authorized to issue unlimited preferred shares which, if issued, may reduce the price of our common shares.
Although no preferred shares are currently issued and outstanding, our directors are authorized by our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to issue unlimited preferred shares in series without the consent of our shareholders. Our preferred shares, if and when issued, may rank senior to common shares with respect to payment of dividends and amounts received by shareholders upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The issuance of preferred shares in series and the preferences given the preferred shares must be made by a Resolution of Directors, but do not need the approval of our shareholders. The existence of rights, which are senior to common shares, may reduce the price of our common shares.
Because our common shares are a penny stock, trading in the common shares involves increased risks concerning price fluctuation, additional disclosure requirements and a lack of a liquid market.
Our shares will be "penny stocks" as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares thus will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.
ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION(cont’d)
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt.
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. This lower trading volume can cause price fluctuations. In addition, the liquidity for our securities will be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Accordingly, our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult more to sell their securities.
ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
A. History and Development of the Company
Global Green Matrix Corp. (formerly Poly-Pacific International Inc.) was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on October 25, 1995. The Company is pursuing business in eco-friendly solutions to industrial waste by-products. The significance and importance of recycling and reclaiming industrial waste has become an important global issue. Global Green is focused on benefiting our planet by exploring and pursuing environmentally sound methods and technologies in waste management and the energy sector, while creating significant value for our shareholders.
With projects ranging from the conversion of municipal solid waste for energy production, recovering and recycling oilfield wastes, reclamation of contaminated soils and waste water and more, Global Green Matrix Corp. hopes to position itself at the cutting edge of environmentally responsible waste remediation and development and to become a leading company in the reclamation sector.
Prior to 2008, the Company had been pursuing the reclamation of industrial polymers. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Poly-Pacific Technologies Ltd. (“PPT”) was a manufacturer of plastic media blast and plastic lumber. PPT produced plastic media blast from scrap plastic, designed for the rapid removal of paints and coatings from sensitive surfaces including those on aircraft, automobiles, composites, and electronic components. Plastic media blast was a proven, environmentally friendly alternative to harsh chemical stripping agents and other hard abrasive materials. In November, 2007, due to continuing losses as a result of decreasing market share and lack of demand for plastic media, the Company announced the closure of PPT and its operations in Ontario, California.
The Company previously had another active subsidiary, Everwood Agricultural Products International Inc. (“Everwood”), which recycled the spent plastic media and waste plastic containers into plastic lumber for the agricultural industry. In December, 2006, as a result of continued losses and Everwood’s inability to obtain an adequate supply of raw materials to make posts and attain cost-efficient production, the Company decided to permanently cease its operations in St. Thomas, Ontario, to focus its efforts in the plastic media market, and to develop a nylon reclamation project in Kingston, Ontario. Based on a feasibility study completed in July, 2008, that reclamation project was determined to be uneconomical and was not pursued.
In November, 2008, the Company signed a License Agreement with Energy Quest Inc. Under the terms of that agreement, the Company had the exclusive rights to commercialize and/or or manufacture, market and distribute Energy Quest's Gasification Technologies in the People's Republic of China. The Company determined however, that it was not in its best interests to pursue that business.
On February 25, 2010, the Company changed its name to Global Green Matrix Corp. from Poly-Pacific International Inc. and consolidated its common shares on the basis of one (1) new post consolidation share for every fifteen (15) pre consolidation common shares. Since then, the Company has focused its efforts on exploring and pursuing new environmentally sound methods and technologies in recycling and waste management.
The key components of the Company’s current business are the result of agreements entered into in December, 2011 and March, 2012, as follows:
| § | PowerMaster – a waste reduction technology |
| § | DryVac – an integrated waste de-watering and drying technology for commercial and industrial applications |
| § | Intercept Rentals – providing equipment to support the oil industry |
Further details of these business components are provided in the Business Overview section below.
ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY(cont’d)
Listing Information:
Global Green Matrix Corp. is a junior industrial company that was first listed in Canada in 1995 and trades as a Tier 1 company on the TSX Canadian Venture Exchange (TSX-V:GGX), which is its primary exchange. The Company began trading on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB: GGXCF.OB) in December, 2005, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (POZG.F) and the Berlin Stock Exchange (AOLGDN) in January, 2007.
The address of our principal executive offices is 943 Canso Drive, Gabriola, British Columbia, V0R 1X2: (604) 324-2110. The name and address of our registered agent in Canada is: Davis LLP, Livingston Place, 1000-250 2nd St. SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 0C1. The company’s administrative office is located at Suite 1720 – 1111 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 4M3.
B. Business Overview
The key components of the Company’s waste management and energy sector business are outlined below.
PowerMaster (Inergy Plus Technologies Inc.)
On December 10, 2011, the Company signed a definitive Distribution/Dealer License Agreement with Inergy Plus Technologies Inc. (“Inergy Plus”). The agreement provides Global Green with the exclusive right to utilize Inergy Plus’ technologies for Canada including the right to license, sell, operate and provide warranty services. The primary technology is called the ReCyclone Advanced Gyroscopic Mill, also known as the “PowerMaster.” The license to Global Green includes all current and future applications for the PowerMaster as registered with the United States Patent and Trademark office and all present and future intellectual property rights related to Inergy’s technologies during the 10 year term of the agreement. The Company recorded a cost of $102,408 in connection with the acquisition of this licence.
The PowerMaster-AGM (Advanced Gyroscopic Mill) is the core component in a proven, cost effective, advanced waste management system that immediately reduces the amount of materials being directed to existing landfills and sets the stage for the elimination of landfills in their entirety. Through the sale and use of the PowerMaster-AGM technology, Global Green Matrix Corp. plans to service the demands of the large and growing waste management industry in Canada. We hope to be the leader in providing small and medium scale, low cost, highly efficient and high margin waste management systems to a broad range of clientele.
The PowerMaster–AGM grinds, dehydrates, and separates components of domestic and commercial waste, resulting in revenue from recyclables and a viable refuse derived fuel. It accomplishes all of this in a very cost effective fashion, with low maintenance and associated operating costs. Combined with other proprietary and “off the shelf” components like shredders, metal separators and screens a PowerMaster–AGM is designed to handle 30,000 tons of municipal solid waste annually with modular expansion capabilities available as volumes and needs increase.
I-Des and DryVac
On December 23, 2011, the Company signed a Distribution Agreement with I-DES INC. and DryVac Services Canada Inc. (“I-Des and DryVac”). The Distribution Agreement gives Global Green the exclusive right to exploit the technologies developed and owned by I-Des and DryVac for a period of 2 years for all of Canada, in return for a onetime payment in the amount of $250,000. The Distribution Agreement allows for renewal of the term for an additional two (2) years provided that 60 days notice is given by the Company and that it is not in default with any terms of the agreement.
On January 20, 2012, the Company completed an amendment to the Distribution Agreement whereby it obtained additional rights to sell DryVac units in the State of Utah in consideration of a fee of $150,000. The Company believes that increasing permit applications for drilling in Utah, as well as interest in energy related rights-of-way and unconventional energy resources such as oil shale and sands will provide opportunities for petroleum exploration and development and therefore, a promising market for the sale of DryVac units.
DryVac is a system for dewatering and drying the solids from liquid slurries, providing an environmentally friendly way to reuse the waste. The system performs the dewatering and the drying in two phases within the same unit. The system uses thermal vacuum and dehydration to produce dried solids with low emissions, high-energy efficiencies and where applicable, pathogen kill. The DryVac system can be used in wastewater or process situations where dewatering & drying are needed and/or provide an economic, regulatory, or public relations benefit. DryVac has a broad range of potential applications, including the following:
| § | Tailing Ponds Remediation |

| § | Industrial Waste Recovery and Remediation |
| § | Waste Water Solids Treatment |
| § | Municipal Waste Water Treatment |
| § | Wood Chip and Biomass to Fuel Operations |
| § | Waste to Fuel Operations |
| § | Landfill Reduction Programs |
| § | Waste Materials Transport |
Intercept Rentals
On March 20, 2012, the Company completed a share purchase agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1503826 Alberta Ltd., carrying on business as “Intercept Rentals”, from arm’s length third parties, subject to TSX Venture Exchange final approval, now received. The purchase price of $1,440,000 was satisfied by the issuance of 12 million common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.12 per share. As required by the purchase agreement, the common shares will be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of a voluntary share escrow agreement and released, as to 1/3 of such amount, on the 4, 8 and 12 month anniversaries of the closing date. In addition, the Company has granted to the former shareholders of Intercept Rentals, or their nominee, a 10 per cent royalty on the gross revenues from the operation of the frac water heating technology for a period of 10 years, at which time it expires.
Intercept Rentals provides equipment to support the oil industry with products that focus on efficiency as well as safety for the workers. The latest addition to Intercept is a Frac Water Heating System which is safe to operate, safe to the well site infrastructure, and safe to the environment. The units not only burn the fuel cleanly and completely but deliver almost all of the heat to the water being heated, which we believe makes the system the safest and most environmentally friendly heating unit available. For our customers this means increased work efficiency, decreased service costs and a healthier environment.
Intercept’s “Power Tongs” have an open mouth design capable of clamping pipes from 1-11/16” to 3-1/2” (outside diameters), and can join pipes of different diameters. The Power Tongs are hauled in 16’ enclosed trailers, which house either a diesel powered air-over hydraulic power pack or a diesel-powered electric-over hydraulic power pack. Each unit has over 100’ of hydraulic hose.
Intercept currently has six Thru-Tubing Power Tong Units:
| 2 Diesel Powered, Air over Hydraulic Driven |

Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010
Overall, operating losses from operations were $541,446 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $422,240 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $119,206 in operating expenses is primarily due to the following:
General and administrative expenses increased by $48,040 to $338,884 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $290,844 for the year ended December 31, 2010 mainly due to paying consulting fees to a new consultant hired for business development during the year.
Waste removal expense increased by $62,625 to $62,625 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $nil for the year ended December 31, 2010 as the Company started using this service in 2011.
Occupancy costs increased by $17,178 to $19,376 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $2,198 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as the Company reimbursed its officers and consultants for the use of their home offices.
Engineering fees decreased by $25,261 to $nil for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $25,261 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as there was no requirement for such services during the current year as compared to the same period in 2010 when the Company was performing due diligence on various possible municipal and industrial reclamation sites.
Other Items decreased $148,575 in 2012, mainly as a result of no write-downs in the current year, compared to 2011 write-downs of investment and equipment totaling $180,944

Summary of Unaudited Quarterly Results
The following table presents the unaudited, selected financial data for each of the last eight quarters to December 31, 2011:
| | Dec 31, 2011 | | | Sep 30, 2011 | | | Jun 30, 2011 | | | Mar 31, 2011 | | | Dec 31, 2010 | | | Sep 30, 2010 | | | Jun 30, 2010 | | | Mar 31, 2010 | |

The variation between the quarters is due to changes that reflect the change in corporate and business development activities during those quarters. In addition, the variation in loss over the fiscal quarters is also attributable due to write-down of certain investments.
Fourth Quarter
Overall, the Company recorded a net loss of $287,032 ($0.01 per common share) for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to a net loss of $249,818 ($0.02 per common share) for the three months ended December 31, 2010.
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter were $281,478 in 2011 compared to the $74,318 for the same period in 2010. The overall increase is primarily due to waste removal of $62,625 (2010 - $nil), transfer agent and filing fees of $21,108 (2010 - $3,359), and general and administrative of $129,435 (2010 - $112,920).
During the fourth quarter, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement consisting of 20,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $1,000,000, and settled outstanding indebtedness of $232,855 through the issuance of common shares at deemed prices of $0.05625 per common share. A total of 4,139,644 common shares were issued pursuant to the debt settlement.
ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS(cont'd)
In addition, the Company acquired the following licenses:
1) | On December 10, 2011, the Company signed a definitive Distribution/Dealer License Agreement with Inergy Plus Technologies Inc. (“Inergy Plus”). The agreement provides Global Green with the exclusive right to utilize Inergy Plus’ technologies for Canada including the right to license, sell, operate and provide warranty services. The primary technology is called the ReCyclone Advanced Gyroscopic Mill, also called the “PowerMaster.” |
2) | On December 23, 2011, the Company signed a Distribution Agreement with I-DES INC. and DryVac Services Canada Inc. (“I-Des and DryVac”). The Distribution Agreement gives Global Green the exclusive right to exploit the technologies developed and owned by I-Des and DryVac for a period of 2 years for all of Canada, in return for a onetime payment in the amount of $250,000. In January, 2012, the Company completed an amendment to the Distribution Agreement whereby it obtained additional rights to sell DryVac units in the State of Utah in consideration of a further fee of $150,000. |
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2011, the working capital was $831,876 as compared to working capital deficiency of $277,586 as at December 31, 2010.
The Company’s cash position increased by $677,375 to $680,972 as of December 31, 2011 as compared to a cash balance of $3,597 as at December 31, 2010. The Company used $346,574 in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011. During the year, the Company received $1,376,357 from financing activities and used $352,408 in investing activities.
The Company believes that the remaining balance of cash, together with funds received from its private placement in February, 2012 (see below) will be sufficient to meet its current working capital requirements over the fiscal year. The Company’s continuation as a “going concern” is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, upon the continued financial support of its shareholders, and upon its ability to obtain additional financing as required, on terms that are reasonable.
Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2011:
a) | On February 9, 2012, the Company completed private placement financing of 13,143,766 units for gross proceeds of $1,182,939. Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of 18 months from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.18 per share. |
| The Company paid finder's fees and commissions totaling $63,591 cash and 706,564 finder's warrants. Each finder's warrants is exercisable at $0.18 into one common share of the Company for 18 months from the issuance date. |
b) | On March 19, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1503826 Alberta Ltd., carrying on business as "Intercept Rentals", from arm's length third parties pursuant to a share purchase agreement, subject to TSX Venture Exchange final approval, now received. Intercept Rentals provides equipment to support the oil industry with products that focus on efficiency as well as safety for the workers and a healthier environment. |
The purchase price of $1,440,000 was satisfied by the issuance of 12 million common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.12 per share. As required by the purchase agreement, the Company’s common shares will be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of a voluntary share escrow agreement and released, as to 1/3 of such amount, on the 4, 8 and 12 month anniversaries of the closing date. In addition, the Company has granted to the former shareholders of Intercept Rentals, or its nominee, a 10 per cent royalty on the gross revenues from the operation of the frac water heating technology for a period of 10 years, at which time it expires.
The Company had no commitments for property and equipment expenditures for 2012. The Company expects that any property and equipment expenditures incurred, based on future needs, will be funded from working capital and/or from operating or capital leases.
ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS(cont'd)
C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses
The Company has not incurred any research and development since 2005. The last costs incurred for research and development was in 2004 in the amount of $115,340.
On December 10, 2011, the Company signed a definitive Distribution/Dealer License Agreement with Inergy Plus Technologies Inc. (“Inergy Plus”). The agreement provides Global Green with the exclusive right to utilize Inergy Plus’ technologies for Canada including the right to license, sell, operate and provide warranty services. The primary technology is called the ReCyclone Advanced Gyroscopic Mill, also called the “PowerMaster.” The license to Global Green includes all current and future applications for the Power Master as registered with the United States Patent and Trademark office and all present and future intellectual property rights related to Inergy’s technologies during the 10 year term of the agreement.
On December 23, 2011, the Company signed a Distribution Agreement with I-DES INC. and DryVac Services Canada Inc. (“I-Des and DryVac”). The Distribution Agreement gives Global Green the exclusive right to exploit the technologies developed and owned by I-Des and DryVac for a period of 2 years for all of Canada, in return for a onetime payment in the amount of $250,000. The Distribution Agreement allows for renewal of the term for an additional two (2) years provided that 60 days notice is given by the Company and that it is not in default with any terms of the agreement, one of which states that Global Green will sell a minimum of four (4) DryVac units per year. On January 20, 2012, the Company completed an amendment to the Distribution Agreement whereby it obtained additional rights to sell DryVac units in the State of Utah in consideration of a fee of $150,000.
D. Trend Information
Our acquisition of licence and distribution agreements for Inergy Plus and DryVac in December, 2012, together with our acquisition of Intercept Rentals in March, 2012 may cause reported financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial condition.
E. Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations
Not applicable.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Basis of preparation and accounting policies
Our company has prepared its financial statements included with this report in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). IFRS represents standards and interpretations approved by the IASB and are comprised of IFRS, International Accounting Standards (“IAS’s”), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC’s”) and the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC’s”). Our company adopted IFRS in accordance with IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS 1”) with a transition date of January 1, 2010. Our financial statements were previously prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS standards and interpretations effective as of December 31, 2011. Notes 2 and 19 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 provides details of significant accounting policies and accounting policy decisions as a result of IFRS 1 optional exemptions, for significant or potentially significant areas that have had an impact on our company’s financial statements on transition to IFRS or may have an impact in future periods.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain judgments and estimates. Changes in these judgments and estimates could have a material impact on our reported financial result and financial condition.
Our company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS(cont'd)
Future Accounting Changes
The post-implementation phase will involve continuous monitoring of changes in IFRS in future periods. It has been noted that the standard-setting bodies that determine IFRS have significant ongoing projects that could impact the IFRS accounting policies that our company has selected.
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) was issued in November 2009 and contained requirements for financial assets. This standard addresses classification and measurement of financial assets and replaces multiple category and measurement models in IAS 39 for debt instruments with a new mixed measurement model having only two categories: amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). IFRS 9 also replaces the models for measuring equity instruments, and such investments are either recognized at FVTPL or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Where such equity instruments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, dividends are recognized in profit or loss to the extent not clearly representing a return of investment; however, other gains and losses (including impairments) associated with such instruments remain in accumulated comprehensive income indefinitely.
Requirements for financial liabilities were added in October 2010 and they largely carried forward existing requirements in IAS 39, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, except that fair value changes due to credit risk for liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss would generally be recorded in other comprehensive income.
This standard is required to be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier adoption permitted. Our company has not yet assessed the impact of the standard or determined whether it will adopt the standard early.
On May 12, 2011 the IASB issued the following statements, which may be applicable to our company:
| i. | IFRS 10, Consolidation (“IFRS 10”) (see further details below) |
| ii. | IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”) ( see further details below) |
| iii. | IFRS 12, Disclosures of Interests with Other Entities (“IFRS 12”) (see further details below) |
| iv. | IFRS 13, Fair value Measurement (“IFRS 13”) |
| v. | IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) |
Each of these standards has an effective date for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, early adoption of any of these standards is permitted only if the other standards are also adopted early.
| i. | IFRS 10 establishes control as the single basis for consolidation of entities, regardless of the nature of the investee. An entity has control over an investee when it has power over it; it is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect those returns. IFRS 10 replaces IAS 27’s guidance that addresses when and how an investor should prepare consolidated financial statements and replaces all of SIC-12. Our company has not yet assessed the impact of the standard or determined whether it will adopt the standard early. |
| | |
| ii. | IFRS 11 requires a venturer to classify its interest in a joint arrangement as a joint venture or joint operation. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control have rights to the assets and the obligations for the liabilities. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. The determination whether a joint arrangement constitutes a joint operation or a joint venture is based on the parties’ rights and responsibilities under the arrangement and thus the existence of a separate legal vehicle is no longer the main factor in making such determination. Joint ventures will be accounted for using the equity method of accounting thereby eliminating the option available under existing IFRS to use either the proportionate consolidation method or the equity method. Joint operations are accounted for by a venturer by recognizing its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the joint operation. Our company has not yet assessed the impact of the standard or determined whether it will adopt the standard early. |
| | |
| iii. | IFRS 12 sets out the required disclosures relating to an entity’s interest in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. An entity is required to disclose information that enable users of its financial statements to assess the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial statements. Our company has not yet assessed the impact of the standard or determined whether it will adopt the standard early. |
ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS(cont'd)
| iv. | IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”) was issued on May 12, 2011 and establishes a single framework for measuring fair value where it is required by other standards. IFRS 13 applies to all transactions (whether financial or non-financial) for which IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements, with the exception of share-based payment transactions accounted for under IFRS 2 Share-based Payment and leasing transactions within the scope of IAS 12 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value such as net realisable value under IAS 2 Inventories or value in use under IAS 36 Impairment of assets. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. an exit price). This standard is required to be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier adoption permitted. Our company has not yet assessed the impact of the standard or determined whether it will adopt the standard early |
| v. | IAS 1 (“IAS 1”) Presentation of Financial Statements requires an entity to group items presented in the statement of other comprehensive income on the basis of whether they may be reclassified to profit or loss subsequent to initial recognition, as of January 1, 2012. For those items presented before tax, the amendments to IAS 1 also require that the tax related to the two separate groups be presented separately. Our company does not expect a material impact as a result of the amendment. |
On June 16, 2011 the IASB issued Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial statements). The amendments require the grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income into items that might be reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods and items that will not be reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012, with full retrospective application. Our company has not yet assessed the impact of the standard or determined whether it will adopt the standard early.

C. Board Practices
National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “National Policy”) recommends that boards of directors of reporting issuers be composed of a majority of independent directors. The Board of Directors is currently comprised of five (5) directors, each of whom is proposed for election at the annual general meeting. Pursuant to the Terms of Reference, the Board is responsible for assessing director independence. The Board of Directors has assessed the independence of each director in accordance with National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices and MI 52-110. Following this assessment, the Board concluded that four of the five directors, being Messrs. Oravec, Pendura, Singh and Rosenthal are independent. Mr. Hayward is not considered independent by virtue of his executive positions with the Corporation.
The Corporation and the Board of Directors recognize the significant commitment involved in being a member of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors generally meets as the need arises. The frequency and length of meetings and the nature of agenda items depend upon the circumstances. When held, meetings are generally lengthy, detailed and well attended, and are conducted in an atmosphere that encourages participation and independence. In order to promote candid discussion among the independent directors, the independent directors determine at every board meeting whether an in-camera session is required, from which Mr. Hayward, the non-independent director, and any management invitees in attendance are excused.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A. Share Capital
Not Required
B. Memorandum and Articles of Association
The Articles of Incorporation of the Company was included as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company's Report on Form 20-F, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2005. The Articles of Association were approved by shareholders on October 25, 1995. Amendments were registered on April 23, 1999 and on June 12, 2003.
ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION(cont'd)
The Company is incorporated pursuant to the Companies Act, Chapter 21, Revised Statutes of Alberta 2000 (Companies Act), which provides for the powers, rights and responsibilities of all corporations registered within the jurisdiction of the Province of Alberta.
The primary requirements and provisions of the Company’s articles of association are included in the Companies Act and apply to the Company, subject only to changes that have been made through Directors’ Resolutions that have been filed as certificates and amendment and registration of restated articles, as included in Exhibit 1.0. Pursuant to the Companies Act, (a) a director may not vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract in which the director has a material interest; (b) the directors may not, in the absence of an independent quorum, vote compensation to themselves or any members of their body; (c) the directors may only exercise borrowing powers, or vary those powers, through the approval of a majority of their number attendant at a duly convoked meeting of directors, with the vote results being recorded in the minutes of the meeting; (d) there is no age limit requirement in respect of retirement or non-retirement of directors; and (e) ownership of shares is not required for director’s qualification.
Any change in the rights of holders of the stock, however proposed, must be approved by at least a two-thirds majority vote of the common shareholders. Pursuant to the Companies Act and the regulations of the Alberta Securities Commission, the vote may be conducted through a formal polling of shareholders, or it may be taken at a duly convoked general or special meeting of shareholders. The law requires that at least one general meeting of shareholders must be convoked each year. The notice for a general or extraordinary meeting must be promulgated at least 45 days in advance of the meeting date through delivery to all shareholders of record as at a date, prior to the date of issuance of the notice, which must be published with the notice.
C. Material Contracts
We have not entered into any material contracts outside the ordinary course of business during the two years immediately preceding the publication of this report. See Item 4.B. Business Overview, for a summary of agreements entered into in connection with our three business components: PowerMaster; DryVac; and Intercept Rentals.
D. Exchange Controls
There are no government laws, decrees or regulations in Canada which restrict the export or import of capital or which affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our common shares. Any remittances of dividends to United States residents and to other non-residents are, however, subject to withholding tax. See “Taxation” below.
There are no limitations imposed by the laws of Canada, the laws of Alberta or by the charter or other governing documents of the Company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote common shares of the Company, other than as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the “Investment Act”) and the potential requirement for a Competition Act Review.
The following summarizes the principal features of the Investment Act and the Competition Act Review for a non-resident who proposes to acquire common shares. This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor is it, a substitute for independent advice from an investor’s own advisor. This summary does not anticipate statutory or regulatory amendments.
The Canadian Investment Act
The Canadian Investment Act generally prohibits implementation of a reviewable investment by an individual, government or agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is not a “Canadian” as defined in the Investment Act (a “non-Canadian”), unless, after review, the minister responsible for the Investment Act (the “Minister”) is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of a net benefit to Canada. Under the Investment Act, a United States citizen qualifies as a “World Trade Organization Investor.” Subject to the restrictions noted below, an investment in a Canadian business by a World Trade Organization Investor would be reviewable under the Investment Act only if it is an investment to acquire control of such Canadian business and the value of the assets of the Canadian business as shown on its financial statements is not less than a specified amount, which for 1999 was $184 million. An investment in the shares of a Canadian business by a non-Canadian other than a “World Trade Organization Investor” when the Company is not controlled by a World Trade Organization Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it is an investment to acquire control of the Canadian business and the value of the assets of the Canadian business as shown on its financial statements is $5 million or more, or if an order for review is made by the federal cabinet on the grounds that the investment relates to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity.
ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION(cont'd)
The acquisition by a World Trade Organization Investor of control of a Canadian business in any of the following sectors is also subject to review if the value of the assets of the Canadian business exceeds $5 million (as shown on its financial statements): uranium, financial services (except insurance), transportation services and cultural businesses, which include broadcast media (publication, distribution or sale of books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers, music, film and video products and the exhibition of film and video products), television and radio services. As the Company’s business does not fall under any of the aforementioned categories, the acquisition of control of the Company, in excess of the $5 million threshold, by a World Trade Organization Investor would not be subject to such review.
A non-Canadian would acquire control of the Company for purposes of the Investment Act if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the common shares.
The acquisition of less than a majority but one-third or more of the common shares would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of the Company unless it could be established that, on acquisition, the Company was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of common shares. Notwithstanding the review provisions, any transaction involving the acquisition of control of a Canadian business or the establishment of a new business in Canada by a non-Canadian is a notifiable transaction and must be reported to Industry Canada by the non-Canadian making the investment either before or within thirty days after the investment.
Certain transactions relating to common shares are exempt from the Investment Act, including:
| | an acquisition of common shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person’s business as a trader or dealer in securities; |
| | an acquisition of control of the Company in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Act; and |
| | an acquisition of control of the Company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization, following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of the Company, through the ownership of common shares, remained unchanged. |
Canadian Competition Act Review
Investments giving rise to the acquisition or establishment, directly or indirectly, by one or more persons of control over, or a significant interest in the whole or part of a business of a competitor, supplier, customer or other person are subject to substantive review by Canada’s Competition Law Authority, the Director of Investigation and Research (the “Director”). If or when the Director concludes that a merger, whether by purchase or lease of shares or assets, by amalgamation or by combination, or otherwise, prevents or lessens, or is likely to prevent or lessen competition substantially, he may apply as may be necessary to eliminate the substantial lessening or prevention of competition. Such substantive merger review power applies to all mergers, whether or not they meet limits for pre-notification under the Competition Act.
In addition to substantive merger review, the Competition Act provides for a pre-notification regime respecting mergers of a certain size. The regime applies in respect of share acquisitions, asset acquisitions, amalgamations and combinations. For ease of reference, this filing refers specifically to share acquisition, although the pre-notification regime applies, with the appropriate modification, to other types of acquisition of control as well.
In order for a share acquisition transaction to be pre-notifiable, the parties to the transaction (being the person or persons who proposed to acquire shares, and the corporation the shares of which are to be acquired), together with their affiliates (being all firms with a 50% or more voting shares linkage up and down the chain) must have:
| (i) | aggregate gross assets in Canada that exceed $400,000,000 in value, as shown on their audited financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year (which must be within the last fifteen (15) months); or |
| | |
| (ii) | aggregate gross revenue from sales in, from or into Canada that exceed $400,000,000 for the most recently completed fiscal year shown on the said financial statements; and |
| | |
| (iii) | the party being acquired or corporations controlled by that party must have gross assets in Canada, or gross revenues from sales in or from Canada, exceeding $35,000,000 as shown on the said financial statements. Acquisition of shares carrying up to 20% of the votes of a publicly-traded corporation, or 35% of the votes in a private corporation, will not be subject to pre-notification, regardless of the above thresholds. However, exceeding the 20% or the 35% threshold, and again exceeding the 50% threshold, gives rise to an obligation of notification if the size threshold is met. |
ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION(cont'd)
If a transaction is pre-notifiable, a filing must be made with the Director containing the prescribed information with respect to the parties, and a waiting period (either seven or twenty-one days, depending on whether a long or short form filing is chosen) must expire prior to closing.
As an alternative to pre-notification, the Director may grant an Advance Ruling Certificate, which exempts the transaction from pre-notification. Advance Ruling Certificates are granted where the Director concludes, based on the information provided to him, that he would not have sufficient grounds on which to apply to the Competition Tribunal to challenge the Merger.
E. Taxation
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as, legal or tax advice to any prospective purchaser or holder of the Company’s shares and no representation with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to any such prospective purchaser is made. Accordingly, prospective purchasers of the Company’s shares should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their individual circumstances.
The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder of the Company’s shares who, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Canadian Tax Act”) and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (the “Convention”) and at all relevant times is resident in the United States and not resident in Canada, deals at arm’s length with the Company, holds the Company’s shares as capital property, and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the Company’s shares in or in the course of carrying on business in Canada (a “United States Holder”).
This following summary is based upon the current provisions of the Canadian Income Tax Act, the regulations thereunder, all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof and the Company’s understanding of the published administrative practices of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (formerly Revenue Canada, Customs, Excise and Taxation). This summary does not take into account or anticipate any other changes in the governing law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action, nor does it take into account the tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or non-Canadian jurisdiction (including the United States), which legislation or considerations may differ significantly from those described herein.
Disposition of the Company’s Shares
In general, a United States shareholder will not be subject to Canadian income tax on capital gains arising on the disposition of the Company’s shares, unless such shares are “taxable Canadian property” within the meaning of the Canadian Income Tax Act and no relief is afforded under any applicable tax treaty. The shares of the Company would be taxable Canadian property of a non-resident if at any time during the five-year period immediately preceding a disposition by the non-resident of such shares, not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class or series of all classes of shares of the Company belonged to the non-resident, to persons with whom the non-resident did not deal at arm’s length, or to the non-resident and persons with whom the non-resident did not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Canadian Income Tax Act. For this purpose, issued shares include options to acquire such shares (including conversion rights) held by such persons. Under the Convention, a capital gain realized by a resident of the United States will not be subject to Canadian tax unless the value of the shares of the Company is derived principally from real estate (as defined in the Convention) situated in Canada.

ITEM 15. CONTROL AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2011. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined under SEC rules as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2011 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, given the ongoing late filing of our annual reports on Form 20-F. We intend to apply the necessary attention and resources to ensure that our disclosure controls and procedures are properly followed and that all future reports are filed within the required time periods.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of a company’s assets,
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that a company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of a company’s management and directors, and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of a company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 15. CONTROL AND PROCEDURES(cont'd)
Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives. 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.
However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company.
Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has defined a material weakness as 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”. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.
Our management’s report regarding internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this annual report on Form 20-F.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report on Form 20-F that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders of
Global Green Matrix Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Global Green Matrix Corp. (referred to as the “Company”) as at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and January 1, 2010 and the related statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. 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 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 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 audits provide 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 the Company as at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and January 1, 2010 and the results of its operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011 and 2010
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. | Nature and continuance of operations |
On February 25, 2010, the Company changed its name from “Poly-Pacific International Inc.” to Global Green Matrix Corp. (“Global Green” or the “Company”). Global Green is focused on exploring and pursuing new environmentally sound methods and technologies in recycling, and in particular, the reclamation sector. The address of the Company’s registered office is Suite 1720 - 1111 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 4M3.
These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and thus be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these financial statements.
The Company incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $552,855 with a total accumulated deficit of $11,284,697. There is doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a “going concern” is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and upon its ability to obtain additional financing or equity. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Accordingly, these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any, that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements were authorized for issue on April 25, 2012 by the Board of Directors of the Company.
2. | Significant accounting policies |
Conversion to International Financial Reporting Standards
The Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) confirmed in February 2008 that International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) will replace Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Canadian GAAP”) for publicly accountable enterprises for financial periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
These financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
These are the Company’s first annual financial statements presented in accordance with IFRS. Previously the Company prepared its annual financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Basis of presentation
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
The preparation of these financial statements resulted in changes to the accounting policies as compared with the most recent annual financial statements prepared under US GAAP. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements. They have also been applied in preparing an opening IFRS statement of financial position as at January 1, 2010 for the purposes of the transition to IFRS, as required by IFRS 1, First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS 1”). The impact of the transition from U.S. GAAP to IFRS is explained in Note 19.

DECEMBER 31, 2011 and 2010
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 2. | Significant accounting policies(cont’d) |
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.
Areas requiring a significant degree of estimation and judgment relate to the recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, fair value measurements for financial instruments and stock-based payments and other equity-based payments, the recognition and valuation of provisions for restoration and environmental liabilities, and the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates and judgments.
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s reporting currency and the functional currency of its operations is the Canadian dollar as this is the principal currency of the economic environment in which they operate.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their Canadian dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates prevailing at the financial position reporting date. Exchange gains or losses arising on foreign currency translation are reflected in profit and loss for the period.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost are translated into Canadian dollars by using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the initial transaction and are not subsequently restated. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value or a revalued amount are translated into Canadian dollars by using the exchange rate in effect at the date the value is determined and the related translation differences are recognized in net income or other comprehensive loss consistent with where the gain or loss on the underlying non-monetary asset or liability has been recognized.
Equipment
Equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of an item consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of equipment, less the estimated residual value over the useful life, using the declining balance method at various rates ranging from 20% - 30% per annum.
An item is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Where an item of equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of equipment. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures are capitalized.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Intangible assets assessed by the Company with finite useful lives are amortized on a systematic basis over their useful lives. The amortization period and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life reflects the pattern in which the assets’ future economic benefits are expected to be consumed. Where the pattern cannot be reliably determined, the straight-line method is used. The amortization period and method is reviewed at least at each financial year end.

Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting year the carrying amounts of the Company’ assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the year. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate and its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions for environmental restoration, legal claims, onerous leases and other onerous commitments are recognized at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company's liability.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the obligation. An amount equivalent to the discounted provision is capitalized within tangible fixed assets and is depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
Related party transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Loss per share
The Company presents basic loss per share for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) and represents the change in shareholders’ equity which results from transactions and events from sources other than the Company’s shareholders. For the years presented, comprehensive loss was the same as net loss.

Financial instruments
a) Financial assets
All financial assets are initially recorded at fair value and designated upon inception into one of the following four categories: fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale.
Financial assets classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized through profit and loss. The Company’s cash and equivalents are classified as FVTPL.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Company’s receivables are classified as loans and receivables.
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Company’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. The Company has not classified any of its investments as held-to-maturity.
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not suitable to be classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments and are subsequently measured at fair value. These are included in current assets. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. The Company has classified investments and restricted investments as available-for-sale financial assets.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired, if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets.
b) Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and designated upon inception as FVTPL or other financial liabilities. At December 31, 2011, the Company has not classified any financial liabilities as FVTPL.
Financial liabilities classified as other financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading and recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Fair value changes on financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognized in earnings.

Share capital
The Company’s common shares and share warrants are classified as equity instruments.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are charged directly to share capital.
Share-based payments
The stock option plan allows Company employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as a share-based payment expense with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee. Consideration paid on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital and the fair value of the options is reclassified from contributed surplus to share capital.
The fair value is measured at grant date and each tranche is recognized over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of stock options that are expected to vest.
Where equity instruments are granted to employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the equity instrument granted at the grant date. The grant date fair value is recognized in comprehensive loss/income over the vesting period, described as the period during which all the vesting conditions are to be satisfied.
Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the statement of comprehensive loss/income, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.
When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.
Income taxes
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the local taxable income or loss for the year, using local tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and includes any adjustments to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.
Deferred income taxes are recorded using the balance sheet liability method whereby deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is not recognized for temporary differences which arise on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Comparative figures
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted for the current year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011 and 2010
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 3. | New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective, |
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective as of December 31, 2011 and have not been applied in preparing these interim financial statements. None of these are expected to have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
Financial instruments disclosure
In October 2010, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures that improve the disclosure requirements in relation to transferred financial assets. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate this amendment to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
Joint ventures
The IASB issued Exposure Draft 9 – Joint Arrangements (“ED-9”) in September 2007. ED-9 proposed to eliminate the Company’s choice to proportionately consolidate jointly controlled entities and required such entities to be accounted for using the equity method. During the second quarter of 2009, the IASB commenced re-deliberations of ED-9 and now proposes to establish a principles-based approach to the accounting for joint arrangements which focuses on the nature, extent and financial effects of the activities that an entity carries out through joint arrangements and its contractual rights and obligations to assets and liabilities, respectively, of the joint arrangements. The IASB plans on publishing the final standard during the first half of 2011, with an anticipated effective date of January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ED-9 and the final standard are expected to have on its financial statements.
Income taxes
In December 2010, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 12 – Income taxes that provides a practical solution to determining the recovery of investment properties as it relates to the accounting for deferred income taxes. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate this amendment to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
Consolidation
On September 29, 2010, the IASB posted a staff draft of a forthcoming IFRS on consolidation. The staff draft reflects tentative decisions made to date by the IASB with respect to the IASB’s project to replace current standards on consolidation, IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC-12, with a single standard on consolidation. The IASB plans on publishing the final standard on consolidation during the first half of 2011, with an anticipated effective date of January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its financial statements.
Financial instruments
The IASB intends to replace IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”) in its entirety with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) in three main phases. IFRS 9 will be the new standard for the financial reporting of financial instruments that is principles-based and less complex than IAS 39, and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier adoption permitted. In November 2009 and October 2010, phase 1 of IFRS 9 was issued and amended, respectively, which addressed the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. IFRS 9 requires that all financial assets be classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost or at fair value based on the Company’s business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost except for financial liabilities classified as at FVTPL, financial guarantees and certain other exceptions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its financial statements.
The Company has an unsecured loan receivable of $15,000 that bears interest of 6% annually. The loan is repayable, principal and interest, in full, ten days after the Company provides the borrower with a written notice of demand. No demand has been made.

The amounts charged to the Company for the services provided have been determined by negotiation among the parties and, in certain cases, are covered by signed agreements. These transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange amount which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration and development of its exploration and evaluation assets, acquire additional mineral property interests and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. In the management of capital, the Company includes its cash balances and components of shareholders’ equity (deficiency). The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents and investments.
At this stage of the Company’s development, in order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
14. | Financial risk management |
International Financial Reporting Standards 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Cash is classified as Level 1.
As at December 31, 2011, the carrying values of cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and loans payable approximate their fair values due to their short terms to maturity.
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
GLOBAL GREEN MATRIX CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011 and 2010
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 14. | Financial risk management (cont’d) |
Financial Risks
Credit risk
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and receivables. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Cash consists of chequing account at reputable financial institution, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. Federal deposit insurance covers balances up to $100,000 in Canada. Financial instruments included in receivables consist of amounts due from government agencies. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss for cash by placing its cash with high quality financial institution and for receivables by standard credit checks. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is minimal
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.
As at December 31, 2011, the Company had a cash balance of $680,972 (December 31, 2010 - $3,597 and January 1, 2010 - $1,232) to settle current liabilities of $264,872 (December 31, 2010 - $313,447 and January 1, 2010 - $607,744).
Historically, the Company's sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements and loans from related and other parties. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.
The Company has cash balances and interest-bearing loans payable. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. As of December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any investments in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates. The Company’s loans payable bear interest at fixed interest rates, and as such, the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk on its loans payable.
The Company does not have any balances denominated in a foreign currency and believes it has no significant foreign currency risk.
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
