SUMMARY OF OUR OFFERING
This summary provides an overview of selected information contained in this prospectus. It does not contain all the information you should consider before making a decision to purchase the shares we are offering. You should very carefully and thoroughly read the more detailed information in this prospectus, and particularly the Risk Factors section, review our financial statements and review all other information that is incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Summary of Our Company
We were incorporated on September 27, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada and have never commenced operations, nor have we generated any revenue and are still a development stage corporation. We have no current business. We are a development stage company, with no assets, revenue, experience in the proposed line of business, or capital, and a deficit of$7,768since our inception. Our plan of operations is to commence a business specializing in electronic waste collection, electronic waste recycling, and resource recovery.
We intend to operate an electronic waste recycling center in the city of Los Angeles, California. The recycling center will consist of a drop off depot for used electronic goods, a sorting area, and a distribution facility whereby the electronic waste is placed into containers for shipment to processing facilities. It is proposed that the waste will be sorted and shipped to processing centers from the Los Angeles recycling center. The processing centers are operated by third parties not by our company. These centers will buy the electronic waste from us based on a per pound price basis. No negotiations or agreements, preliminary or otherwise have been entered into with any processing centers.
Our administrative office is located at 6240 West 3rd Street Suite #208, Los Angeles California, USA 90036, telephone (310) 467-9832 and our registered statutory office is located at 7251 West Lake Mead Blvd. Suite 300, Las Vegas 89128. Our fiscal year end is January 31.

There is no minimum number of shares that have to be sold in this offering and the shares will be sold on a best efforts basis only. If we do not raise at least $200,000 in this offering we may not be able to continue with our proposed operations and we may go out of business. If we go out of business, investors may lose their entire investment.
We are not listed for trading on any exchange or an automated quotation system. Because we are not listed for trading on any exchange or automated quotation system, you may not be able to resell your shares.
RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in the common stock.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY:
1.We have no operating history and have maintained losses since inception which we expect to continue into the future. If the losses continue we may go out of business. We have no assets, no experience in the proposed line of business, certifications, current customers, or negotiations or agreements with any processing centers or refurbishers
We were incorporated in September 27, 2004 and only just recently began reviewing available leasing options to open up our first end of life electronic drop off depot. We have only just completed our business plan to market and offer our end of life electronic recycling depots to individual and businesses and government agencies. We have not realized any revenues to date. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. There is a net loss since inception of $(7,768) and also an accumulated deficit of $(7,768). We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future; therefore, we may not be able to achieve profitable operations and we may not even be able to generate any revenues. We will encounter difficulties as an early stage company in the rapidly evolving and highly marketed recycling end of life electronic industry. Therefore, the revenue and income potential of our business model is unproven.
Page 6
2. If we are unable to successfully market our electronic drop of depots then our business will fail. We may require additional funds beyond this offering and we may be unable to obtain any funding.
We must successfully market our end of life electronic recycling depots services to our target markets. We require at least $200,000 to commence operations and to offer our recycling services. If we do not raise at least $200,000 we may not be able to adequately market our services and we may cease operations. We may require additional funding beyond this offering and we may not be able to obtain any funding. If we do not raise sufficient funding and we are unable to successfully market our services we will not be able to generate any revenue. Our failure to earn revenues will cause our business to fail.
3. We face substantial competition from established and new companies in our industry. If we are unable to compete with these companies our proposed business will fail.
We face intense competition from established end of life electronic recycling service companies. We may not be able to compete effectively with these companies now or in the future. Many of our potential competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, technical and other competitive resources, as well as greater name recognition, than we have. As a result, our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to changes in consumer requirements or may be able to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their services. We may not be able to compete successfully with our potential and existing competitors. In addition, competition could increase if new companies enter the market or if existing competitors expand their services. An increase in competition could result in price reductions and loss of market share and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. To be competitive we will need to continue to invest in sales and mar keting. We may not have sufficient resources to make such investments necessary to remain competitive. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may in the future establish collaborative relationships among themselves or with third parties, including third parties with whom we have relationships, to increase the visibility and utility of their services. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. If we are unable to compete with companies in end of life electronic services industry, our proposed business will fail and you will lose your entire investment.
4. We will need to establish, protect, and promote our trade name to operate profitably. This may require obtaining a trademark. Our trademark may not be upheld if challenged and we may be prevented from using this trademark, which could harm our ability to make a profit.
We use the trade name "Global Electronic Recovery Corp." in connection with our business and plan to use it in connection with our website (www.globalelectronicrecovery.com) Our trade name is not registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any state trademark office. Further, we have not developed a specific trademark to serve as a source identifier for our services. We believe a trademark will be important to our ability to create and sustain demand for our services, our website, and future offerings of advertising space or marketing strategies.
Page 7
Although our operations have not been restricted as a result of any trademark disputes, significant obstacles such as injunctions or litigation may arise as we develop our trademark and expand our business into new geographic markets. In addition, it may be determined that our trademark violates the proprietary rights of others. Our trademark may not be upheld if challenged and we may be prevented from using this trademark, which could harm our ability to make a profit.
5. Our officers and directors will be devoting only a fraction of their professional time to our activities. Our management's lack of devotion of time may make us more vulnerable than others companies to certain specific risks
Our current officers and directors will be devoting only approximately 30% of their professional time to our operations. Our management's lack of devotion of time may make us more vulnerable than others companies to certain specific such as making us more vulnerable to business risks associated with errors in judgment that could have been prevented by management devoting their full time and attention to our company. Also during the offering, our management may be devoting a significant portion of time to the sale of securities. In addition both directors may be required to seek employment elsewhere while our business is in the development stage. We do not anticipate any conflicting fiduciary duties. Both directors are aware of their fiduciary obligation to act in our best interests at all times.
6. Because we will close this offering 90 days of the effective date, even if we raise only a nominal amount and we need a minimum of $30,000 to cover our offering expenses, the less money we raise under this offering increases the risk that you could lose all of your investment. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold, and we will not refund any funds to you.
Even if we raise the entire $300,000, the maximum amount we are trying to raise in this offering you could lose all of your investment if we do not have enough money to implement and complete our proposed business operations. The less money we raise under this offering increases the risk that you could lose all of your investment. Your risk increases because if we raise less money it would be more likely that we will not have sufficient funds to implement or complete our proposed business operations. Our minimum amount required to fund and operate our business is approximately $200,000. We will close this offering 90 days after the effective date, even if the amount we raise only a nominal amount and we will not refund any money we raise. We need a minimum of $30,000 to cover our estimated offering expenses. We may not even be able to raise this amount. If we are not able to raise sufficient funds to cover our estimated operating expenses and implement and complete our proposed business operations we will go out of business and you will lose your entire investment. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold in this offering, even if we raise only a nominal amount of money. Any money we receive will be immediately appropriated by us. We may not raise enough money to carry out our proposed operations. No money will be refunded to you under any circumstances.
Page 8
7. If we are required to become certified and our unable to do so, we may be forced to go out of business.
It is proposed through legislated regulations that disposal of non-reusable e-Waste must, in the future, be legally processed through a certified facility (proposed EPA Regulations). When the proposed regulation takes effect it is our goal to become a certified recycling center. However, we are not certified and there is no guarantee we will be in the future. If we are unable to become certified we may be forced to go out of business.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING:
8. There is no public trading market for our common stock, so you may be unable to sell your shares.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. A market may never develop for our common stock. If a market does not develop, it will be very difficult, if not impossible for you to resell your shares.
9. Sales of common stock by our officers and directors will likely cause the market price for the common stock to drop.
A total of 3,000,000 shares of stock were issued to one of our two officers and directors. He paid an average price of $0.001 per share. Subject to the restrictions described under "Future Sales by Existing Stockholders" on page 32 of this prospectus, he may sell a portion of his stock in the future. If he does sell stock into the market, the sales may cause the market price of the stock to drop.
10. Our business is limited to the geographical area of California and as such our business will be susceptible to events there which could hurt our business.
Our business is limited to the geographical area of California and as such our business will be susceptible to events there which could hurt our business. Because we will rely on one specific geographical area our business may suffer California suffers an economic downturn. We will be more at risk than some of our competitors that do business in more than one state. In addition, if California changes its environmental statutes the cost us doing business in California may increase and decrease our profitability.
11. Because Mr. O'Neill will own 50% of the outstanding shares after this offering, he will likely be able to decide who will be directors and you may not be able to elect any directors.
Even if we sell all 3,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering, Mr. O'Neill will still own 3,000,000 shares and will continue to ostensibly control us. As a result, after completion of this offering, regardless of the number of shares we sell, Mr. O'Neill will likely be able to elect all of our directors and control our operations.
Page 9
12.The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $300,000 in this offering and as such you may be paying too much for your shares.
.The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $300,000 in this offering. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value and as such you may be overpaying for your shares.
13. Because the sec imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares which are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that you may have difficulty in reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.
Our shares qualify as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement before making a sale to you. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in our shares. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARDING-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some discussions in this prospectus may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us in this prospectus. Such factors include, those discussed in "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business," as well as those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events.
Page 10
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to us after deducting offering expenses of $30,000 will be $270,000 if all of the shares are sold. The first $30,000 raised will be used for offering expenses. If proceeds from the offering are inadequate to pay offering expenses we shall attempt to secure a loan from one of our directors. We have no agreement in place at this time for such a loan. We will use the net proceeds as follows:
Amount raised: | $50,000 | $100,000 | $150,000 | $200,000 | $250,000 | $300,000 |
Allocation
Offering Expenses | $30,000 | $30,000 | $30,000 | $30,000 | $30,000 | $30,000 |
Marketing/Advertising | - | $10,000 | $30,000 | $40,000 | $40,000 | $50,000 |
Leasehold improvements | - | $50,000 | $75,000 | $100,000 | $125,000 | $125,000 |
Working capital | $20,000 | $10,000 | $15,000 | $30,000 | $55,000 | $95,000 |
Leasehold improvements: Entails converting an existing warehouse space into a recycling center.
Marketing/Advertising expenditures are those expenditures we plan to make in connection the marketing and advertising of our end of life electronic recycling drop off depot. Our marketing and advertising efforts will focus in the greater Los Angeles area.
Los Angeles, California: This will be the beta test market for our marketing efforts, because it is the base of our operations and would give a fair representation of pricing in United States metropolitan cities.
Our expenditures in advertising and marketing in Los Angeles will be approximately $10,000 to $50,000 depending on the offering amount raised and based on the following advertising efforts:
Los Angeles Times: This newspaper has circulation of over 6 million copies per week.
Los Angeles Business Journal: This publication has circulation of 35,075 copies per week with a total audience of about 210,450 per week.
Radio Advertising: We will consider advertising on a talk radio station such as FM 97.1. For approximately $3000 per month we could do one sixty second commercial per day Mon-Friday 8p-12m in the Tim Conway Jr. and Brian Whitman Show.
Page 11
Working capital is the cost related to operating our recycling centers and work space. Upon completion of the offering we intend to lease space for our recycling center. We intend to locate our administrative office within the Los Angeles recycling center and discontinue use of our current office in the residence of director David O'Neill. We estimate that $3,000 of working capital is needed on a per month basis equaling $36,000 for the first year for each facility. The amount includes sufficient funds for one year's worth of rent under lease agreement with a landlord. We estimate our monthly rent to be $2,500 at each facility and includes telephone and utilities, printing, faxing and high-speed Internet service. We also anticipate paying a security deposit of one months rent. We have allocated the remaining $500 of working capital for miscellaneous administrative expenses such as office supplies, postage and delivery charges that we may incur during the year. We will also likely hire an office administra tive assistant anticipated to be $2,000 per month.
Working capital also includes employee salaries. We anticipate hiring 2 to 7 laborers for sorting and dismantling. Employee wage is estimated to be approximately $10 per hour.
If we raise at least $100,000 we will pay Mr. O'Neill a salary of approximately $2,500 per month. We also plan on leasing vehicles for pick up using working capital.
While we currently intend to use the proceeds of this offering substantially in the manner set forth above, we reserve the right to reassess and reassign such use if, in the judgment of our board of directors, such changes are necessary or advisable. At present, no material changes are contemplated. Should there be any material changes in the above projected use of proceeds in connection with this offering, we will issue an amended prospectus reflecting the same.
If only $50,000 is raised from the offering, we will proceed as follows:

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $300,000 in this offering. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. The factors considered were:
See "Plan of Distribution; Terms of the Offering."
DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES
"Dilution" represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. "Net tangible book value" is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares new investors purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.
As of October 31, 2005, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was at ($0.00) or approximately NIL per share based upon 3,000,000 shares outstanding.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 6,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $300,000, or approximately $0.05 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.05 per share without any additional investment on their part. New investors will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.05 per share.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 75% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 5,265,000 shares to be outstanding will be $205,612, or approximately $0.04 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.04 per share without any additional investment on their part. New investors will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.04 per share.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 50% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 4,515,000 shares to be outstanding will be $130,612, or approximately $0.03 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.03 per share without any additional investment on their part. New investors will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.03 per share.
Page 16
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 25% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 3,765,000 shares to be outstanding will be $55,612, or approximately $0.01 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.01 per share without any additional investment on their part. New investors will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.01 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 3,000,000 shares are sold, new investors will own approximately 50% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which new investors will have made a cash investment of $300,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 50% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $3,000, or approximately $0.001 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 2,250,000 shares are sold, new investors will own approximately 42% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which new investors will have made a cash investment of $225,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 58% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $3,000, or approximately $0.001 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 1,500,000 shares are sold, new investors will own approximately 33% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which new investors will have made a cash investment of $150,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 67% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $3,000, or approximately $0.001 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 750,000 shares are sold, new investors will own approximately 19% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which new investors will have made a cash investment of $75,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 81% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $3,000, or approximately $0.001 per share.
The following table compares the differences of new investors' investment in our shares with the investment of our existing stockholders.

BUSINESS
General
The company was incorporated in the State of Nevada in September 2004 and has only just commenced operations. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at 7251 West Lake Mead Blvd. Suite 300, Las Vegas 89128 and we work out of and in a home office space located at Suite 208-6240 West 3rd Street, Los Angeles, California, USA 90036. Our telephone number is (310) 467-9832. Our office space is an office located within the personal residence of Mr. David O'Neill. When we commence operations, it will be necessary for us to seek appropriate individual offices. Management believes suitable commercial space will be available when it is necessary. We intend to locate the administrative office within the site of our proposed recycling depot.
Page 20
Our Business
We intend to be a business specializing in electronic waste collection, electronic waste recycling, and resource recovery. We believe that the disposal of electronic waste, or "e-Waste" is becoming a serious global issue. Electronics that have been discarded in landfills are releasing toxins and polluting the environment. The existing incineration recycling processes for e-Waste are releasing Green House Gas (GHG) Emissions and other dangerous air pollutants such as dioxins, heavy metals and hazardous acids.
Our fundamental goal is to enhance recovery, recycling, and the environmentally friendly disposal of e-Waste and other electronic components with minimal waste, minimal harmful emissions, and maximum re-usable raw materials retrieval. We recognize that e-Waste has become a significant source of raw materials.
An increasing number of state and local governments are considering options for managing end-of-life electronic equipment such as televisions and personal computers. Their concern centers around the continued growth of this waste stream, the potential for hazardous constituents in these products to cause disposal problems, and the desire to recover valuable materials from these products.
Services and Products Offered
We intend to provide the following services:
We intend to offer many services related to the recycling of e-Waste. Below is a description of these services.
1. e-Waste Pick Up
We intend to offer a pick up service for residential and commercial customers. A representative of our company will visit customers' places of residence or business and pick up e-Waste items. Our proposed collection fees will be as follows:
Page 21
|
2. Management of e-Waste from Manufacturers:
This service is designed specifically for the electronics industry as well as communities/municipalities and larger customers. The focus will be on the disposal of hazardous wastes produced during the manufacturing of electronic equipment as well as the management of commercial and residential e-Waste. Our services will provide complete e-Waste tracking. The principal benefit is the assurance of vital data protection. We will be able to assure vital data protection by providing a print out of the location of data files ensuring the customer that the files have been delivered to a facility for destruction or that the files have been erased.
3. Electronic Waste Sorting and Dismantling
This process involves the de-manufacturing of the electronic waste processes. The first step in the de-manufacturing process is the sorting and separating of electronics waste by size. Materials such as keyboards, computers, answering machines, etc. are then dismantled.
Our personnel will disassemble each machine into its component parts, plastics and metals and prepare everything for raw material extraction. We will use this basic method to eventually completely recycle all business and consumer electronics equipment without having to invest in extremely expensive processing equipment. If we raise $300,000 from this offering we may, however purchase a grinder machine.
Once the materials have been sorted and dismantled we will then commence step-by-step procedures for processing materials we receive which will ensure maximum recovery and complete environmental compliance. Incoming materials will be counted, weighed, and quantities are checked against the client's shipping information. Material will be assigned a control lot number and evaluated and tested to determine optimal recovery methods. An estimate on the total recovery potential will be determined by the material evaluation process.
Reusable components will be removed from the personal computer "PC" board.
Devices will be final tested to assure they meet the required specifications.
Reusable devices will be inventoried and priced based on current market conditions and sale history. Devices will be packaged in anti-static containers and shipped to third party purchasers. We do not have any contracts with third party purchasers at this time. Boards and non-recoverable IC's are directed to precious metal processors. An "IC" is an integrated circuits or chip and is used for a variety of devices, including microprocessors, audio and video equipment, and automobiles. Non-reusable components will be shipped to third party waste recyclers.
Page 22
4. Electronic Waste Sorting and Dismantling
We anticipate that a significant portion of the recycling we will do will be of monitors and cathode ray tubes (CRTs). We intend to provide an environmental solution for all monitor and CRT debris. We plan to recycle all types of monitors and all types of quantities. This will include all basic monochrome monitors to 21" color flat screens. We believe our process will be an effective way to recycle this type of product while keeping our commitment to protecting the environment.
The large amounts of toxic materials contained within a monitor's cathode ray tube or CRT present serious problems for those seeking an environmental conscious alternative to landfill disposal. Lead, mercury, cadmium and phosphorous are a few of the many toxic elements found within a CRT. Lead is the most prevalent toxic material and many CRTs have been shown to leach this lead content into landfills.
We intend to handle the end-of-life of CRT's by first attempting to repair or resell the complete unit on the secondary market throughout the world. We have no contracts or agreements to sell these units at this time.
For CRT's that have absolutely no reuse potential, we intend to utilize a system which safely breaks down the glass to a point where the remaining material can be used as a flux in metal smelting refineries. We recognize that lead smelting operations are also harmful to the environment, but there are currently no other options available.
To get to the glass, monitors must be completely disassembled. The individual components include plastic, printed circuit boards, copper wiring, power and fly-back components and the CRT tube itself. "Fly-back components" refers to the transformer that generates the high voltage in a TV, monitor, or other CRT based piece of equipment. They are also referred to as Line OutPut Transformers.
Some of these materials such as the fly-back components and other electronics can be resold to repair facilities. Other materials that do not have an immediate market are stored until there are sufficient quantities to send to individual refineries designed to handle each specific type of material.
5. Electronics Sold for Refurbishing:
Units and parts not under a data protection agreement, if in good condition, are sent to third party refurbishing facilities for repair and reuse. The refurbished units and parts are then sold in the used electronics market. We will sell these items to the refurbishing centers on a per item or bulk basis. We have no agreements or contracts in place with any third party refurbishers.
Page 23
6. Shipping
Once the electronic waste is dismantled we will ship materials in good condition to refurbishing centers. The remaining electronic waste will be shipped to third party waste recyclers in containers.
We will consider shipping some e-Waste or products we are not able to refurbish offshore. The shipping of e-Waste to foreign countries is a subject of controversy. The controversy surrounding the export of eWaste to foreign countries, especially third world countries is due to the fact that regulations and pollution laws often make it more cost effective to export the scrap to these countries where such laws are more lax than those in the United States. It is not illegal for U.S. companies to ship e-Waste to foreign countries. The U.S. EPA currently exempts e-Waste from export regulations. We are mindful of the concerns regarding the shipment of e-Waste to foreign countries especially third world countries and we intend to enter into contractual agreements only with specialized processing plants that can ensure environmental compliance with ISO standards. ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization. ISO is an international organization composed of national standards bodies from over 75 countries. There are plants in the Philippines, Hong Kong and Taiwan that operate in accordance with these standards.
We have not entered into any agreements with any specialized processing plants to date. The facility in the Philippines was established for the specific purpose of recycling electronics scrap and they specialize in electronics recycling, environmental protection and emissions control. The Philippines facility is located in a free trade zone. The main purpose of the Philippines plant is to sort usable equipment and then refurbish it for resale on the second hand market. All the remaining unusable scrap is de-manufactured and dismantled to a degree that is suitable for shipping to other partner facilities for processing. It is our intention that all of the facilities that we work with comply with all relevant international standards for pollution prevention and labor protection. We will request documentation that any prospective facilities we deal with operate in accordance with ISO standards. We have no contracts or agreements with any such facilities.
Effect of Existing or Probable Government Regulation on Our Business
Existing regulation in California will require us to become authorized if we are to participate in the Covered Electronic Waste Recovery and Recycling Payment System. This system redistributes fees collected from the purchase of certain electronic goods in California to authorized collectors and recyclers. We are not a qualified collector or recycler, however we intend to apply for this designation. In the future, California is likely to implement additional regulations that will affect our business.
Revenue Generation
Each service we intend to provide results in revenue and therefore we believe that the business model will be profitable in that both the supply and the sales side of the business result in net positive sales income. Users pay to have e-Waste removed and recovered while processors pay for sorted e-Waste to produce raw materials or refurbished goods.
Page 24
As stated above, we intend to generate revenue both upon receipt of the e-Waste at our proposed recycling center and for the sale of the dismantled waste to third party refurbishing centers. We anticipate that our prices for electronic waste products received at our proposed recycling center to be as follows:
Process Fees

Page 25
We believe the processing and pick up fees we intend to charge are consistent with those charged by our competitors in our target market. As an alternative to unit pricing, Customers may pay $.35/lb for all equipment processed.
We also intend to offer pick-up service for e-Waste. Our proposed collection fees will be as follows:
Identification of Market Opportunity
We believe that the electronics recycling is an emerging industry at a critical point in its development in terms of growth potential and the challenges it presents. As the production and use of electronic products continues to increase dramatically throughout the consumer and commercial markets, the challenges of disposal and recovery of materials has become significant.
The principal sources of e-Waste have been manufacturers and commercial users. According to our independent research most companies involved in electronics recycling are relatively small, typically have fewer than 30 employees, and have been in business for less than 5 years.
The eWaste recycling industry is competitive with respect to price, service, location and there are many well-established competitors. In greater Los Angeles County alone there are over 35 centers that accept some form of eWaste.Certain factors, such as substantial price discounting, increased labor and benefits costs and the availability of experienced management and hourly employees may adversely affect our industry in general and us in particular. We do however anticipate being able to obtain all necessary personnel. We will compete with a large number of regional eWaste recyclers. Many of the potential competitors may have financial resources superior to ours. We expect this competition to increase. Companies such as Electronic Partners Corporation of Los Angeles will be competing against us. We intend to compete with centers that do not charge for pick up and disposal services by offering additional services such as tracking
Significant legal penalties associated with improper disposal of electronic waste now exist. E-Waste includes computers, televisions, monitors, cell phones, pagers, microwave ovens, hand-held devices, etc. One of the requirements of these soon to be legislated regulations is that disposal of non-reusable e-Waste must, in the future, be legally processed through a certified facility (proposed EPA Regulations). When the proposed regulation takes effect it is our goal to become a certified recycling center. However, we are not certified and there is no guarantee we will be in the future.
Page 26
The Silicon Valley Toxics Association and the Basel Action Networks completed a study titled "Exporting Harm" (2001). They stated, "Millions of pounds of electronic waste from obsolete computers and TVs are being generated in the U.S. each year - an estimated 50% to 80% collected for recycling - are being exported (for dumping and re-use)."
The article also cites the fact that tens of millions of consumer electronic products such as computers and televisions are purchased each year in Canada and the United States. To date, the volume of consumer electronic products being recycled has not been significant. It is estimated that over 70% of such products in the US are currently disposed of in landfills. For example there are approximately 200 million TV sets in the United States. It is estimated that a large number of these units will be land filled within the next five years due to shift towards new standards such as high definition television (HDTV). Historically, consumers have not understood the need to properly dispose of and recycle e-Waste and secondly, rarely had access to collection depots where these types of materials can be safely deposited.
Additional Facts
The following facts were taken from an article entitled "Poison PCs and Toxic TVs: California's Biggest Environmental Crisis That You've Never Heard Of" written by the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition:
Page 27
Possible Solutions
The large volumes of electronic products that will become obsolete in the near future will need to be recycled into reusable materials. We believe that our recycling processes and services like those we intend to offer will play an integral role by generating the raw materials necessary to manufacture new products while minimizing the hazardous by-products generated by the current disposal methods. We are of the view that the business of e-Waste recycling will become vital to the electronic industry's economics.On January 1, 2005, California consumers began paying a $6, $8 or $10 electronic waste recycling fee on the purchase of new covered electronic devices. This will have a direct impact on the pricing of electronic goods and make the industry more aware of the importance of recycling.
Currently, there are two common methods for the disposal of e-Waste: landfills and incineration. These methods only exacerbate existing water and air pollution problems and contribute to global warming. The incineration of e-Waste contributes to the release of carbon dioxide and other toxic emissions into the atmosphere. Burying e-Waste contributes to heavy metals such as lead and mercury leaching into the soil and ground water sources surrounding landfill sites. These disposal methods do not present viable short or long-term solutions to the issue of electronic waste management.
The following factors have created an opportunity for us and we believe will lead to a market leadership position:
Page 28
Regulatory Changes
Regulatory changes are already signaling a shift towards improved management of the waste stream. The European Commission (EC) has adopted a proposal for a Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and a proposal for a Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The proposed Directives are designed to address the e-Waste stream of electrical and electronic equipment and are designed to work in tandem with the European Union measures on landfill and incineration of e-Waste. Increased recycling of electrical and electronic equipment, in accordance with the requirements of the proposal for a WEEE Directive, will limit the total quantity of waste going to final disposal.
Currently more than 90% of EC e-Waste ends up in disposal or shredding facilities without any pre-treatment, decontamination or proper recycling. This waste is increasing at a rate of 3-5% per year. The WEEE Directive mandates 75% recovery of Information Technology and Telecom waste by the year 2006 and a 70% recycling and reuse rate prescribed for equipment containing a cathode ray tube.
We believe that developments in Europe are relevant to our business because the California Electronic Waste Recycling Act relies on certain European standards. We also believe that trends in Europe may be followed by the State of California. For example, the Act requires that the Department of Toxic Substances Control in California adopt regulations prohibiting the sale of a covered electronic device in California if the device is prohibited from being sold in the European Union.
Our research has found that there are already a number of countries with mandatory electronics recovery laws, including Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Portugal, Japan and Taiwan. We acknowledge that we intend to operate in the United States and developments in countries outside of the United States do not necessarily mean that these developments will occur here. However, we believe this growing global awareness for the need for e-Waste recycling will continue to occur in the United States also. In some states, particularly California, legislation regulating e-Waste recycling has been adopted.
Page 29
California
California has enacted legislation (the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003) to establish a funding system for the collection and recycling of certain electronic wastes. The California Integrated Waste Management Board has adopted new emergency regulations to implement portions of the statute. The Act, among other things, establishes a recycling fee to be paid by the manufacturers of cathode ray tube (CRT) devices such as computer monitors and televisions. CRT devices, which fall under the umbrella term e-Waste can contain lead, cadmium, mercury and other hazardous materials that pose significant risk to health. For instance, computer monitors and televisions typically contain four to eight pounds of lead. Currently, less than 10% of CRT devices are recycled, despite a statewide ban on putting CRT devices into landfills. Many end up in landfills nonetheless, and then pose a significant risk of toxics leaking into nearby groundwater. The Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition has stated that E-Waste is one of the fastest-growing and most toxic waste streams.
Other key elements of the Act include:
Once the electronic waste recycling fees have been collected from retailers the fees are deposited into the Electronic Waste and Recovery and Recycling account which the State Board of Equalization will use to pay authorized electronic waste collectors and recyclers and to pay manufacturers who take back covered products from California consumers for recycling. The program is called the Covered Electronic Waste Recovery and Recycling Payment System and is established pursuant to the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003. In order to become a qualified entity, an applicant must file a form with the California Integrated Waste Management Board. We are not so qualified, however we intend to apply once we have opened a facility.
Although the current focus for waste collection is electronics such as computers, monitors, televisions, radios and similar devices, we believe there is enormous potential in the collection of other goods as well, for example: "white goods" such as refrigerators, stoves and other heavy home appliances. We believe we have the requisite skills and expertise to collect and harvest these goods appropriately. Therefore in the future we may expand the collection of goods to include white goods and others types of waste. NO FUNDS FROM OUR CURRENT OFERRING WILL BE USED FOR THESE FUTURE SERVICES.
Page 30
Target Market
Our target market is the United States. Specifically, our implementation will be in Los Angeles, California. We believe that California is large enough to support numerous collection centers. However, we are raising funds for one facility only. If we expand, and there is no guarantee that we will, no funds from this offering will be allocated towards such expansion.
Our collection facility will be in Los Angeles, California.
Marketing Plan
Creating and Maintaining Customers
It is our goal that our customer base will be comprised of electronic manufacturers, large and small businesses, governmental institutions and the private sector. E-Waste is currently a significant problem in all of these sectors. We hope to demonstrate to potential customers the environmental and financial benefits of our electronic recycling and why it is both environmentally sound and cost-effective. The upstream benefits result from the recycling of materials such as plastics, ferrous and other metals and glass, rather than manufacturing these from virgin materials. The issue of social responsibility alone is compelling and self-evident, but combined with the economics and possible regulatory pressure, we believe is the clear choice for e-Waste management solutions.
We are aware that there are lower cost alternatives to discarding of eWaste. Indeed, may consumers will dispose of these items in this manner. However, we believe there is a growing social conscience among consumers to seek out methods of recycling consumer goods, especially electronics, that are less harmful to the environment than traditional means of disposal such as in landfills. The regulatory climate is also shifting towards recycling programs in California and throughout the world.
In terms of new business development, we will concentrate our efforts and more actively pursue the business and private sectors through partnerships and strategic alliances and marketing. We may, through educational and marketing initiatives, continually promote the environmental and economic benefits of electronics recycling as well as the public's social responsibility.
To retain and grow existing customers, we will ensure that electronic recycling is made as convenient as possible for them. It is our goal that more recycling depots and drop off locations will be added over time.
Updated information about us and electronics recycling is available on-line at our website,www.globalelectronicrecovery.com. We may also dispense information to the public through the media, information sessions, seminars, and conferences.
Page 31
Sales and Distribution Plan
By the nature of the business model, we have two potential sources of customers, those coming to collection centers with e-Waste and those processors who are buying the collected and sorted e-Waste from us. Although it is more important to market to the e-Waste supply customers (thus ensuring a stable supply of e-Waste), some degree of marketing and promotion also needs to be conducted with the processors. Currently, we believe the high demand for the recovered materials ensures the high interest of the processors. For the foreseeable future, this is expected to also remain true. However, some degree of spot marketing and customer relation may be required at intervals throughout the year. We have not yet developed any marketing plan aimed at potential processors.
Promotional Strategy
Industry Associations: We plan to join the California Resource Recovery Association (CRRA). The CRRA is an organization of individuals, recycling centers and companies pledged to the conservation of natural resources. The CRRA assists its member with their programs and conducts activities that will promote resource conservation by the people of California. We will also consider joining technical councils of the CRRA.
CRRA members are encouraged to join technical councils to provide input on key policy issues and to develop more services in specific areas of interest. One of the councils is the e-Waste Handlers Technical Council. This council advocates the setting up of environmentally safe procedures for the collecting and safe handling of e- Waste. The council also helps local generators and recyclers, develop methods of educating the public about proper e-Waste disposal, and provides a suitable marketplace to encourage reuse, rebuild and then recycle.
By virtue of our membership in the CRRA we will also become members of the National Recycling Coalition. The National Recycling Coalition, Inc. (NRC) is a nonprofit organization of more than 4,000 individuals, businesses and government agencies involved in all aspects of recycling, waste prevention, reuse and composting. As the largest national organization of its kind, NRC serves as the national voice of and resource for recycling.
We believe that membership in both organizations may result in significant exposure and referrals. Both customers as well as buyers of recovered materials contact such organizations seeking information, suppliers and referrals. Membership in such industry bodies may also provide credibility as well as a forum for industry issues and a common voice to effect change and increase understanding and acceptance of electronics recycling.
Below are some of our planned promotional activities:
Page 32
Advertising and marketing
Our expenditures in advertising and marketing in the greater Los Angeles area:
Los Angeles Times: This newspaper has circulation of over 6 million copies per week
Los Angeles Business Journal: This publication has circulation of 35,075 copies per week with a total audience of about 210,450 per week. We may also place ads in various environmental and electronic industry publications such as Recycling Today and E-Scrap News.
Radio: We will consider radio spots on local radio stations in the greater Los Angeles area. We will consider advertising on a talk radio station such as FM 97.1. For approximately $3000 per month we can do one sixty second commercial per day Monday to Friday 8pm-12pm on the Tim Conway Jr. and Brian Whitman Show.
Billboards: We will consider limited billboard advertising in the greater Los Angeles area.
Trade Shows and Conferences: We intend to display its services at several electronic manufacturer trade shows over the next 24 months. It is believed that our presence at these trade shows will raise awareness of the need to recycle e-Waste. Attending trade shows will also help us maintain key industry contacts and keep abreast of changes in the industry.
Employees
As of December 31, 2005, we had no employees other than our officers. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. We have not entered into any employment agreements with any of our executives. We anticipate that we will enter into employment agreements with our officers when, and if, our revenue production justifies such agreements. We do not currently anticipate that we will hire any employees in the next three months, unless we generate significant revenues. From time-to-time, we anticipate that we will also use the services of independent contractors and consultants to support our business development. We believe our future success depends in large part upon the continued service of our senior management personnel and our ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical and managerial personnel.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section of the prospectus includes a number of forward- looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking states are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or out predictions.
Page 33
We are a start-up, development stage company and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
Until we generate revenue our only source for cash at this time is investments by others in our company. We must raise cash to implement our project and stay in business.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to stay in business. Whatever money we do raise, will be applied to our proposed business of eWaste recycling. If we do not raise all of the money we need from this offering, we will have to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others. We have discussed this matter with our officers, and one of our officers, Mr. David O'Neill intends to loan us small amounts of money as needed. We do not have any wriiten agreements from Mr. O'Neill for these loans. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering. If we need additional cash and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about our company upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are a development stage company and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays due to environmental regulatory changes, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our business plan.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations
From Inception on September 27, 2004
Since inception, we have used our common stock to raise money for corporate expenses. Net cash provided by financing activities from inception was $3,000, as a result of proceeds received from subscription proceeds. Since inception we have generated a loss of $7,768 due to the following corporate expenses: $2,000 in legal fees for corporate opinion, $2,000 in audit fees and approximately $220 for resident agent fees in the State of Nevada.
Page 34
Liquidityand Capital Resources
As of the date of this registration statement, we have not generated any revenues from our proposed business operations.
We issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock through a Section 4(2) offering for cash consideration of $3,000. In addition we have received a shareholder advance in the amount of $4,000.
Mr. O'Neill intends to loan us small amounts of money, as needed, to pay organizational and start-up costs and operating capital. The loans will not bear interest and have not been made as of the date hereof. There are no documents that will reflect the loans and the loans will not be due on a specific date. Mr. O'Neill will accept repayment from us when money is available. If the maximum amount is raised, we intend to repay the amount he loans us from the proceeds of this offering.

Page 35
Background of Officers and Directors
David O'Neill has been our President, Secretary and a member of our board of directors since inception. Mr. O'Neill will devote approximately 30% of his professional time to our business.
From 2001 through to 2003 Mr. O'Neill was a sales consultant at Vancouver Auto BMW. From 2003 to 2005 Mr. O'Neill was a sales consultant with Carter Honda Motorsports. Mr. O'Neill graduated from Mount Royal College in Calgary, Alberta with a diploma in Business Administration in 1989.
Mr. Martel has been a member of our board of directors since inception. From 2002 to 2005 Mr. Martelwas Vice President of Operations for Electronics Recycling Canada of Vancouver, British Columbia. Prior to this Mr. Martel's operational experience includes serving as General Manager for HVAC Canada Corporation from February 2001 to January 2002 and Plant Manager for a community endeavors and community futures timber project through Ptarmigan Timber and the Provincial Government of British Columbia from April 1997 to March 1999.
Conflicts of Interest
We believe that our directors and officers will be subject to conflicts of interest in their devotion of time to projects that do not involve us. Otherwise we do not see any prospective conflicts of interest. Mr. Martel is no longer working with Electronics Recycling Canada.
Specifically, both directors may be required to seek employment elsewhere while our business is in the development stage. We do not anticipate any conflicting fiduciary duties. Both directors are aware of their fiduciary obligation to act in our best interests at all times.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Summary Compensation
There are no stock option, retirement, pension, or profit sharing plans for the benefit of our officers and directors.
Option/SAR Grants
No individual grants of stock options, whether or not in tandem with stock appreciation rights known as SARs and freestanding SARs have been made to any executive officer or any director since our inception, accordingly, no stock options have been exercised by any of the officers or directors since we were founded.
Page 36
Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards
We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance to occur over a period longer than one fiscal year, whether such performance is measured by reference to our financial performance, our stock price, or any other measure.
Compensation of Directors
We do not have any plans to pay our directors any money. The Board has not implemented a plan to award options. There are no contractual arrangements with any member of the board of directors.
We do not expect to pay any cash salaries to our officers until such time as we generate sufficient revenues to do so.
Indemnification
Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the total number of shares owned beneficially by each of our directors, officers and key employees, individually and as a group, and the present owners of 5% or more of our total outstanding shares. The table also reflects what such ownership will be, assuming completion of the sale of all shares in this offering. Shares will be sold on a best efforts basis only and it may be the case that less than all or even no shares will be sold in this offering. The stockholder listed below has direct ownership of his shares and possesses sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares.
Page 37
Name and Address of Beneficial Owner [1] | Number of Shares Before Offering | Number of Shares After Offering | Percentage of Ownership After Offering | Percentage of Ownership if No Shares Sold in the Offering |
David O'Neill | 3,000,000 | 3,000,000 | 50% | 100% |
All Officers and Directors | 3,000,000 | 3,000,000 | 50% | 100% |
[1] The persons named above may be deemed to be a "parent" and "promoter" of our company, within the meaning of such terms under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of his/its direct and indirect stock holdings. Mr. O'Neill is the only "promoters" of our company.
Future Sales by Existing Stockholders
A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to the existing stockholders, all of which are "restricted securities," as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, such shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and certain restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one (1) year after their acquisition.
Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 25,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The holders of our common stock:
Page 38
We refer you to our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities.
Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. After this offering is completed, assuming the maximum number of shares are sold, the present stockholders will own approximately 50% of our outstanding shares. If no shares are sold under the offering, the present stockholders will own 100% of our outstanding shares.
Cash Dividends
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Reports
After we complete this offering, we will not be required to furnish you with an annual report. Further, we will not voluntarily send you an annual report. We will be required to file reports with the SEC under section 15(d) of the Securities Act. The reports will be filed electronically. The reports we will be required to file are Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB, and 8-K. You may read copies of any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet site that will contain copies of the reports we file electronically. The address for the Internet site is www.sec.gov.
Our common stock is defined as a "penny stock" under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and its rules. Because we are a penny stock, you may be unable to resell our shares. Also, the Exchange Act and the penny stock rules impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors. As a result, fewer broker-dealers are willing to make a market in our stock and it may effect the level of news coverage you receive.
Page 39
Stock Transfer Agent
We have not yet appointed a stock transfer agent for our securities. We intend to appoint a stock transfer agent for our securities immediately prior to the date this prospectus is declared effective.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
The company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 27, 2004.
In October 2004 we issued a total of 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to David O'Neill one of the officers and directors of our company. This was accounted for by payment of cash of $3,000.
To date we have borrowed approximately $4,000 from one our officers and directors who has paid for some administrative and offering costs. The loans do not bear interest and have not been repaid as of date. There are no documents reflecting the loans and they are not due on any specific date. The director and officers will accept repayment of the loan when money is available.
LITIGATION
We are not a party to any pending litigation and none is contemplated or threatened.

These financial statements are the responsibility of Global's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Electronic Recovery Corp., as of January 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from September 27, 2004 (Inception) through January 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Global Electronic Recovery Corp. ("Global") was incorporated on September 27, 2004 under the laws of Nevada to engage in any lawful business or activity for which corporations may be organized under the laws of the State of Nevada. Global is engaged in the business of electronic waste recycling.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Global records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Financial Instruments
Global's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and in amounts due to related parties. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that Global is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
The fair value of the amounts due to related parties is not determinable as they have no repayment terms.
Page F-6
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Global does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on Global's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES
For the year ended January 31, 2005, Global has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved.
NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE
In October 2004 the sole shareholder of Global loaned the company approximately $4,000 with no specific terms of repayment.
NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK
In October 2004, Global issued 3,000,000 shares of stock to its founding shareholder for $3,000 cash.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
