Our business
HDS International, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, or “us”) is a green technology company providing renewable energy and eco-sustainability solutions. We are a development stage business, have not generated any revenues to date and have a history of operating losses.
The Company was incorporated November 3, 2008 under the laws of the State of Nevada, to engage in providing certain business services.
On August 16, 2011, we entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hillwinds Ocean Energy, LLC, a privately held consulting company (“HOEL”), under which we acquired from HOEL certain of HOEL’s assets, including a certain license relating to technologies for gas exchange, carbon dioxide capture and sequestration, algae biomass production and other renewable energy and eco-sustainability applications.
In exchange for the assets, we paid HOEL consideration of: (a) 7,500,000 shares of our Class A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share; (b) 250,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and (c) a twelve month, 10% promissory note in the sum of $325,000. HOEL is the majority owner of our issued and outstanding common stock and sole owner of all our issued and outstanding preferred stock.
Simultaneously under the Asset Acquisition Agreement, our former president, Mr. Mark Simon, returned for cancellation 440,820,000 shares of common stock, which were cancelled by us, and resigned from his positions as officer and director of the Company. Mr. Tassos D. Recachinas (“Mr. Recachinas”), president of HOEL, was appointed as our president and to our board of directors, becoming our sole officer and director. Mr. Recachinas continues to serve as president of both HOEL and of our Company, and as president and sole director of HOEL, exercises supermajority control over our Company.
We determined the consideration for the assets and the license through negotiation. There is no comparable product/license on the market, accordingly it could be said that the price for both was arbitrarily determined.
Pursuant to the terms of the license, we acquired the exclusive rights to develop, make, use, market and sell certain products and to practice certain processes within our licensed territory. Our licensed territory under the license consists of Back Bay, New Brunswick, Canada, and any geographical area within 50 miles from the center of Back Bay, with the boundary on the west being the border with the State of Maine in the United States. We believe our licensed territory offers favorable geological conditions conducive to the implementation of our underlying technologies.
On October 1, 2011, we reached a management consulting agreement with Alexander M. Chirkov, M.D., Ph.D., (“Dr. Chirkov”), whereby Dr. Chirkov became our Chief Scientific Officer. Our core technologies were developed by Dr. Chirkov and we believe we require his involvement to deploy, implement and commercialize our technologies.
On October 7, 2011, the Company expanded its intellectual property portfolio by entering into a certain new license agreement (the “October 2011 License”) with Hillwinds Energy Development Corp. (“HEDC”), which is controlled by our President and sole Director. The October 2011 License was identical in geographic territory as the August 16 License, but addressed newly developed technology.
On October 22, 2012, we formed a wholly-owned Canadian-based subsidiary, HDS Energy and Ecosystems NB, Ltd, headquartered in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, to be responsible for HDS International’s business and research and development interests in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada. The subsidiary was established to facilitate HDS International’s sales, marketing, grant application, and other business development efforts within the Province, as well as in response to certain potential customer requirements in the Province.
On November 30, 2012, we reached a seven year exclusivity agreement with the City of Saint John, NB, Canada for the installation of an anaerobic digester, beginning with a feasibility study. Under the terms of the agreement, HDS has received exclusive rights to pursue the installation of anaerobic digester waste-to-energy systems to operate in conjunction with the City of Saint John’s wastewater treatment infrastructure. Initially, HDS will be responsible for leading a feasibility study for an anaerobic digester facility at the City of Saint John’s “Lancaster” Wastewater Treatment Facility site, at its own expense. The City will contribute staff support and other internal assistance to HDS during the study, and has agreed to team on any grant applications identified by HDS. The agreement was executed by HDS’ President and CEO, as well as Saint John’s City Manager after receiving approval by resolution of the City’s Common Council.
On December 10, 2012, through our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, HDS Energy and Ecosystems NB, Ltd., we entered into a new technology license agreement with HEDC, which expands the geographic territory under our previous technology licenses. All previous license agreements between HDS and HEDC, including the license under asset acquisition agreement dated August 15, 2011, and the intellectual property agreement consummated October 7, 2011 (dated September 2, 2012) have been terminated and superseded in their entirety by the new license agreement (the “NB Provincial License”).
The NB Provincial License expands our exclusive geographic territory to cover the entire Province of New Brunswick, Canada, as compared to the previous exclusive geographic territory under our other licenses, which was defined as Back Bay, New Brunswick, Canada, and any geography within 50 miles from the center of Back Bay, with the boundary on the west being the border with the State of Maine in the United States.
The financial terms of the NB Provincial License transaction to expand our geographic territory were deemed immaterial, with no cash or securities paid or owed by the Company to HEDC. HEDC is controlled by the Company’s officers and directors, who also control the majority of the Company’s basic and fully diluted shares of common stock, and accordingly this transaction was classified as a related-party transaction and was not conducted at arm’s-length.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have no contracted revenue stream and have taken only minimal steps toward the development of our business.
Our executive offices are located at 10 Dorrance Street, Suite 700, Providence, Rhode Island 02093. Our primary telephone number is 401-400-0028. We lease the foregoing offices from Regus Management Group, pursuant to a virtual office lease agreement dated August 12, 2012. Our monthly rent is $99, for which we receive access to certain workspace solutions and services. Our fiscal year end is December 31.

Total Net Proceeds | $ | (25,000) | $ | 37,500 | $ | 100,000 | $ | 162,500 | $ | 225,000 |
It is possible that we may not be able to sell any shares of common stock or that the amount raised may be minimal and may not even cover the costs of the offering, which we have estimated at $25,000. Assuming we raise 25% of the offering amount, we will receive net proceeds of $37,500; if we raise 50% of the offering amount we will receive net proceeds of $100,000; if we raise 75% of the offering amount we will receive net proceeds of $162,500; and, if we raise 100% of the offering amount we will receive net proceeds of $225,000. Again, there is no assurance we will be able to raise any money in this public offering. Further, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by selling shareholders.

Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock.
Risks associated with HDS INTERNATIONAL CORP.:
We face a number of significant risks associated with its current plan of operations. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. We have a history of operating losses and our auditors have indicated that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
To date, we have not been profitable and have incurred significant losses and cash flow deficits. As a result of these net losses and cash flow deficits and other factors, our independent auditors issued an audit opinion that indicated that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
2. Our business plan and proposed operations are forward looking and there is no assurance that we will achieve them.
The information contained herein is forward looking. Our operations to date have been limited. There is no assurance that we will achieve our proposed objectives. We anticipate that we will continue to report losses and negative cash flow for several years. As such, if you invest in us, you may lose your entire investment.
Our business model is unproven. We are uncertain as to whether the business strategy or economic model we are pursuing will be successful or allow us to obtain clients. Even if we were to obtain clients, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop any products for which we are contracted to produce, or that our products will perform as desired. Our business model may be unattractive in the marketplace and we may be unable to obtain clients.
3. We rely on the know-how and expertise of Dr. Alexander Chirkov, inventor of our core technologies, and we would not be unable to implement our intended business plan without his involvement or cooperation.
Our intellectual property was developed by Alexander Chirkov, Ph.D., M.D., a biophysicist and inventor. Chirkov possesses unique and scarce knowledge, attributes and other skills that cannot be easily obtained by hiring other experienced management personnel, and which are required us to generate revenues. While Chirkov currently serves as our Chief Scientific Officer, he does so pursuant to verbal consulting agreements spanning one month terms and automatically renewing each successive month unless terminated. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue to retain Chirkov’s services or that we will be able to obtain them at an affordable cost. Furthermore, we do not hold any key man insurance, and any unforeseen circumstances that would prevent us from accessing Dr. Chirkov’s unique knowledge, including disability, death or any other reason, would have a material adverse impact on our ability to implement our intended business plan.
4. We have yet to construct our technology on a commercial scale, and may be unable to solve technical and engineering challenges that we may encounter which may prevent our technology from being economically attractive to prospective customer licensees.
The production of petroleum substitutes and protein products from algae biomass—a core target market of our technology—involves complex outdoor aquatic systems with inherent risks, including weather, disease, and contamination. As a result, our future production operations, if any, may be adversely affected from time to time by climatic conditions, such as severe storms, flooding, dry spells and changes in air and water temperature or salinity, and may also be adversely affected by pollution and disease. Any operational difficulties we experience would have an adverse effect on our revenues and profitability, and such effects could be material. If we encounter significant engineering or other obstacles in implementing our technology at commercial scale, our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected, and such effects could be material.
5. The presence (or absence) of government subsidies may materially affect the profit (or losses) of our operations.
Part of our business is part of a new and emerging biofuels industry that is subject to economic and other regulations, which may have an adverse effect on the entire industry and subsequently our business. For example, the cost of biofuels has historically been higher than petroleum, and the lack of governmental subsidies for biofuels may limit the demand and marketability of the Company’s technology. There is no assurance that the biofuels industry, or any industry that we market our products to, will have the need or the financial ability to use our products or technology. Furthermore, certain of our technologies which we seek to commercialize relate to the capture and reutilization of carbon dioxide gas. If governmental or political support for carbon dioxide capture change, we could be adversely affected.
6. Our revenues can be influenced by changes in the law, regulations, tax code, and international treaties, including the laws of Canada and the United States.
Our operations are subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control. We are unable to assess or predict at this time what effect changes in regulations or legislation could have on our activities. Actions taken at the national and international level, including the United Nations, can negatively impact our ability to generate revenue and may substantially impact our operations. Specifically, post-Kyoto action on climate change treaties, cap-and-trade systems, and related governmental regulatory schemes may significantly affect our ability to compete in a changing marketplace.
7. The underlying patent applications may be delayed or denied.
Our success depends on our technology’s commercial viability and on the strength of our intellectual property rights. While patent applications have been filed with respect to our underlying technology by our licensor, such patent applications have not yet been approved and the technology is not presently protected with patents. The only intellectual property rights that exist at present, if any, are trade secret rights. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect and others could independently develop substantially equivalent technology. Competitors may gain access to trade secrets relating to the technology, and we may not be able to protect the rights to our trade secrets. In addition, our agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors, customers and potential partners restricting the disclosure and use of trade secrets, inventions and confidential information relating to the technology may not provide meaningful protection in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, third parties may assert that our technologies, or the products we or our customers or partners commercialize using the technologies, infringe upon their proprietary rights. We have yet to complete an infringement analysis and, even if such an analysis were available at the current time, it is virtually impossible for us to be certain that no infringement exists, particularly in our case where our products or processes have not yet been fully developed. We may need to acquire additional licenses from third parties in order to avoid infringement in our operations. Any required license may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. We could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us for alleged infringement of another party’s intellectual property rights as well as in enforcing our rights against others, and if we are found to infringe, the manufacture, sale and use of products could be enjoined. Any claims against us, with or without merit, would likely be time-consuming, requiring our management team to dedicate substantial time to addressing the issues presented. Furthermore, the parties bringing claims may have greater resources than we do.
8. We may not be able to successfully develop and commercialize our technologies, which would result in continued losses and may require us to curtail or cease operations.
We are currently still developing our technologies, products and processes. We have not generated any revenues and we are unable to project when we will achieve profitability, if ever. We expect the process of developing our technologies to continue, which may result in substantial costs and operating losses. Our technologies are unproven on a commercial scale, and there is no assurance that our engineering resources will be able to develop products fast enough to meet market requirements. We can also not assure that our products will gain market acceptance and that we will be able to successfully commercialize our technologies. The failure to successfully develop and commercialize our technologies would result in continued losses and may require us to curtail or cease operations.
9. Our technology is unproven on a commercial scale.
Our technologies have never been utilized on a commercial basis. All of the tests conducted to date by us with respect to the technology have been performed through laboratory and bench scale models, and the same or similar results may not be obtainable at competitive costs on a large-scale commercial basis. We have never utilized our technology under the conditions or in the volumes that will be required for us to be profitable and we cannot predict all of the difficulties that may arise. Our technologies, when used, may require further research, development, regulatory approvals, environmental permits, design and testing prior to commercialization. Accordingly, our technology may not perform successfully on a commercial basis and may never generate any revenues or be profitable.
10. Our capital requirements may change.
We may require substantial additional funds in order to continue our research and development programs, and to conduct full scale manufacturing and marketing of any products that may be developed. Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to, the progress of our research and development programs, the progress of production testing, the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights, competing technological and market developments, changes in our existing research relationships, the ability of us to establish collaborative arrangements, the development of commercialization activities and arrangements, and the purchase of additional facilities and capital equipment. There can be no assurance, however, that changes in our research and development plans, acquisitions or other events affecting our operations will not result in accelerated or unexpected expenditures. Thereafter, we will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our operations. There can be no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be available on acceptable or affordable terms.
11. We may not be successful with any grant applications.
Part of our business model involves allocating resources to pursue the grant money available to bolster our research efforts and development resources. There is no assurance that we will receive any grant funding. Furthermore, we may expend a significant amount of resources pursuing grant funding, and this strategy may result in continued losses and may require us to curtail or cease operations.
12. We may face unexpected environmental issues or difficulties in the permitting process.
Any effort to implement our technologies may require significant environmental impact analysis and operating and environmental permits. We may not be successful in obtaining the necessary permits, and any environmental analysis may be costly and produce adverse results that would prohibit us from proceeding with any implementation of our technologies.
13. As a shareholder, your ownership stake may be subject to future dilution.
We expect that we will need to raise additional capital in the future, to fund projects, expansion, working capital, acquisitions, or for other purposes. This may result in dilution for shareholders. We also may determine to issue new shares of our common stock or preferred stock in exchange for certain goods or services. This may also result in dilution for shareholders. The same is true of outstanding grants of stock options. Accordingly, you should expect future dilution associated with your investment.
14. We do not maintain theft or casualty insurance, liability or property insurance coverage and therefore could incur losses as a result of an uninsured loss.
We do not maintain theft, casualty insurance, liability or property insurance coverage as of this date. We cannot assure that we will not incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of our business. Any such uninsured or insured loss or liability could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
15. We are a controlled company, and certain private shareholders, including our directors and officers, control a substantial interest in us and thus may influence certain actions requiring a vote of our shareholders.
Our sole officer and director, Mr. Recachinas, through affiliates, is the beneficial owner of 47.57% of our issued and outstanding common stock. He is also the beneficial owner of 100% of our issued and outstanding Class A Preferred Stock, which provide 100 votes per share on matters submitted to common shareholders. Pursuant to such ownership, Mr. Recachinas has the ability to influence certain actions requiring a shareholder vote, including, the election of directors. This concentration of ownership and control could delay or prevent a change in our control or other action, even when a change in control or other action might be in the best interests of our other shareholders. We are a controlled company.
16. Our executives are employed on a part-time basis.
Both our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Scientific Officer are employed on a part-time basis and may dedicate a portion of their business time to unrelated matters. Given their importance to the implementation of our business plan, their inability or unwillingness to dedicate their time to us could have a material adverse impact on our ability to implement our intended business plan. Each executive is expected to dedicate approximately twenty hours per week to us. There is no assurance that this will be sufficient to successfully implement our business plan. Further, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to retain the services of our executives or that we will be able to obtain them at an affordable cost or at all in the future.
17. Our licensed territory is limited in scope.
Pursuant to the terms of our technology license, our licensed territory is confined to a specific geographical area consisting of the Province of New Brunswick, Canada. The technology has never been commercially deployed anywhere, including in our territory, and we cannot predict that we will be successful under our license. If we cannot find customers within our licensed territory, and cannot adjust our business model accordingly, we may suffer severe losses and be forced to go out of business.
Should seek to utilize our technologies outside of our licensed territory, we may seek to expand our licensed territory, which may require us to enter in new agreements with our licensor, which is controlled by our President, presenting a conflict of interest. There is no assurance that we will be successful in expanding the scope of our territories outside of our licensed territory or that we will be able to do so at a fair or attractive price, presenting substantial risks to shareholders.
18. Our licensor is a related party, presenting a potential conflict of interest.
Our sole officer and director, Mr. Recachinas, directly and through affiliates, exerts control over our licensor. In the event that we seek to enter into any new agreements in the future with our current licensor, to expand the scope of our licensed territory or otherwise, any such transactions would be related party transactions. While we will seek to negotiate any such future agreements in the ordinary course of business and on commercially reasonable terms, there is no assurance that we will be successful in reaching any such agreements, that any such agreements would be made on commercially reasonable terms, or than any such agreements will not be dilutive to your interests. There is a direct conflict of interest of our president in negotiating relating party transactions, and there is no assurance that such transactions will be conducted in the best interests of our other shareholders. In the event we do seek to enter into any future agreements with our licensor, we may be competing with other parties, which could have an adverse effect on us.
19. We have no commercial contracts and no existing revenue stream.
We believe that virtually all of our revenues will come from the sale or license of our products or services. As a result, we will continue to incur substantial operating losses until such time as we are able to generate revenues from the sale or license of our products. We currently have no third party contracts, and there can be no assurance that businesses and customers will adopt our technology and products, or businesses and prospective customers will agree to pay for or license our products or technologies. In the event that we are not able to obtain customers that purchase or license our products or technologies, or if we are unable to charge the necessary prices or license fees for our products or technologies, our financial condition and results of our operations will be materially and adversely affected.
20. We face risks associated with our wholly-owned subsidiary, HDS Energy & Ecosystems NB, LTD.
On October 22, 2012, we formed a wholly-owned Canadian-based subsidiary, HDS Energy & Ecosystems NB, LTD, headquartered in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. We rely on the expertise of local professionals to ensure our compliance with the local laws and regulations of operating in the Province of New Brunswick, the City of Saint John and the Country of Canada, and expect to face ongoing expenses to properly maintain our subsidiary. We may face unforeseen costs and expenses associated with HDS Energy & Ecosystems NB, and any unexpected costs or expenses may adversely impact us.
21. We may require additional resources to fulfill our requirements under our contact with the City of Saint John, NB, Canada and face other risks to our contract.
Under the terms of our seven year exclusivity agreement with the City of Saint John, NB, Canada, we are required to demonstrate progress towards certain agreed upon milestones, including the preparation of a feasibility study. If we fail to achieve certain progress under our contract, the City of Saint John may choose to cancel our contract. We have limited experience in undertaking the requirements under our contract and there is no assurance we will be successful under our exclusivity agreement or that we will be able to maintain our exclusivity agreement. Further, our agreement does not provide for any contracted revenues at this time, and there is no assurance that we will be able to successful negotiate and enter into an agreement to provide for revenues associated with the agreement. There is no assurance that our feasibility study will conclude that our potential project is viable. Furthermore, there is no obligation whatsoever for the City of Saint John to proceed under our agreement following the completion of our feasibility study, regardless of the conclusions of the feasibility study. Even if the City determines to proceed with the implementation of our project following our feasibility study, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully negotiate a new contract with the City of Saint John to earn revenues on terms acceptable to us. There is also no assurance that the funding for any potential installation will be available, and no funds have currently been made available for this project. There is no assurance funding for any future project will ever become available. Until we complete our feasibility study, we are unable to predict the magnitude of our potential revenues relating to the agreement with the City of Saint John.
22. We require the assistance of an experienced anaerobic digestion company.
We have never designed, manufactured and operated an anaerobic digester, and believe that we can benefit by teaming with an experienced anaerobic digester manufacturer and servicer to assist us in achieving our obligations under our agreement with the City of Saint John, including with conducting a feasibility study for an anaerobic digester incorporating our carbon capture and algae biomass production technologies. There is no assurance that we will be able to identify an acceptable anaerobic digestion company to work with us, or that we will be able to establish a relationship with any such digester manufacturers on terms acceptable or profitable to us, if at all. There is also no assurance that any anaerobic digester company will be able to integrate our carbon capture and algae biomass technologies into their design plans, and accordingly, we may not be able to incorporate our technologies into any potential project. Once installed, anaerobic digesters are subject to a variety of operational risks, which will be out of our control but may adversely impact us. If we are unable to identify and team with an experienced anaerobic digestion company on our contract with the City of Saint John within a reasonable timeframe, we may not be able to fulfill our obligations under tour exclusivity agreement with the City of Saint John and our contract may be cancelled.
23. We face intense competition, many of our competitors have significantly more resources than we do, and competing technologies developed by competitors could become more commercially successful than ours or render our technology obsolete.
Development of carbon capture and biomass production technology is highly competitive, and competing carbon capture and algae biomass production technologies could become more commercially successful than ours. Our competitors include major integrated energy, waste management and agriculture companies that have developed or are developing competing technologies, many of which have significantly more financial and other resources than we do to spend for research and development of their technologies and for funding construction and operation of commercial-scale plants. In addition to using their own carbon capture and biomass production technologies in competition with us, these competitors could also offer to license their technology to our potential customers. Additionally, several small companies have developed and are continuing to develop competing carbon capture and algae biomass production technologies. As our competitors continue to develop carbon capture and algae biomass production technologies, one or more of our current technologies could become obsolete. As new technologies develop, we may be placed at a competitive disadvantage, and competitive pressures may adversely affect our operations and cause us to fail in commercializing our technologies. We may not be able to successfully develop or expend the financial resources necessary to acquire new technology.
24. We face other risks.
We face many other risks to those described above. These include the possibility of war and terrorism and the effects of hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters. These risks are appreciable as our licensed territory is exposed to the Atlantic hurricane season. We are also heavily dependent upon the talent we can attract. While we have a talented management team, we must continue to attract and retain other key employees while retaining our current key personnel. New ventures also pose the risk of corporate indebtedness. While bank loans are not currently contemplated, if they are sought they can exert pressure on our profits until they are repaid.
25. Our preferred stock adversely affect the voting and liquidation rights of the common shares.
There are currently 7,500,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share of preferred stock entities the holder to 100 votes; has priority over common stock upon liquidation; and, is convertible into 20 shares of common stock. As a result, the owner of the Class A Preferred Stock controls us and upon liquidation will own all of the assets that are liquidated to pay creditors.
26. It is unlikely they we will be able to sale our shares of common stock to the public if the market price of our shares drops below $0.005 per share.
We are offering our shares at an offering price of $0.005 per share. Our shares of common stock are trade on the OTC Bulletin board under the symbol HDSI. If the market price of our shares of common stock drops below $0.005 per share, it is unlikely that investors will purchase shares in this public offering. That is because investors will be able to purchase our shares of common stock in the market place at a price lower than they can purchase the shares directly from us. The selling shareholders may sell their shares at prevailing market prices, including at prices below our fixed offering price. This may increase the difficulty we have in selling shares.
27. Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares that are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that you may have difficulty reselling your shares and this may cause the price of the shares to decline.
Our shares would be classified as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder, which impose additional sales practice requirements on brokers/dealers, who sell our securities in the aftermarket. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement prior to making a sale for 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.
28. FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
Federal Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require, that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker/dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker/dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable, for some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our common stock.
29. Because there is a limited market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell your stock.
There is a limited public market for our shares of common stock. As such, you may not be able to resell your shares.
30. We do not qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, and are therefore ineligible to take advantage of certain benefits afforded to other companies.
We do not qualify as “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we are therefore ineligible for certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that other “emerging growth companies” may receive, potentially requiring us to invest more resources into regulatory compliance relative to our competitors.
We are offering up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock in a direct public offering, without any involvement of underwriters or broker-dealers, no shares minimum. The offering price is $0.005 per share. The table below sets forth the use of proceeds if we raise 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the total offering of $250,000:
| | 0% | | 25% | | 50% | | 75% | | 100% |

Net proceeds | $ | (25,000) | $ | 37,500 | $ | 100,000 | $ | 162,500 | $ | 225,000 |
The net proceeds will be used as follows:
| | 0% | | 25% | | 50% | | 75% | | 100% |
Hardware | $ | - | $ | 4,688 | $ | 12,500 | $ | 20,313 | $ | 28,125 |

Working capital | $ | - | $ | 6,563 | $ | 17,500 | $ | 28,438 | $ | 39,375 |
Total Net Proceeds | $ | (25,000) | $ | 37,500 | $ | 100,000 | $ | 162,500 | $ | 225,000 |
It is possible that we may not be able to sell any shares of common stock or that the amount raised may be minimal and may not even cover the costs of the offering, which we have estimated at $25,000. Assuming we raise 25% of the offering amount, we will receive net proceeds of $37,500; if we raise 50% of the offering amount we will receive net proceeds of $100,000; if we raise 75% of the offering amount we will receive net proceeds of $162,500; and, if we raise 100% of the offering amount we will receive net proceeds of $225,000. Again, there is no assurance we will be able to raise any money in this public offering. Further, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by selling shareholders.
We will be responsible for the outstanding offering expenses regardless of the outcome of the offering.
Hardware is comprised of office equipment and computers for desktop use, as well as materials needed to construct product prototypes. If we raise at least $50,000 we will purchase office communications equipment, including one computer. If the maximum is raised we will purchase three desktop computers and materials to construct a carbon dioxide removal and reutilization platform prototype.
Assets will be purchased from unaffiliated third parties at the market price for the assets. As of the date hereof, we have not identified the persons from whom we will purchase the assets.
Website costs are related to developing our websites. Our corporate website will cost $2,000 to update. If $250,000 is raised, we will be able to incorporate additional functionality to the website for a total cost of $5,625.
Marketing and advertising is related to the design and purchase of various types of marketing materials and brochures which will promote our services to customers. If the maximum is raised, we can purchase large banners and other professional quality posters to display at trade shows and other similar functions.
If we raise $250,000 in this offering, we intend to pay two business development personnel and two scientists/engineers.
Working capital is the cost related to operating our office. It is comprised of expenses for telecommunications, mail, stationary, accounting, acquisition of office equipment and supplies, expenses of filing reports with the SEC, travel, and general working capital.
If we do not raise any money in our offering, we may not be able to maintain our operations during the next twelve months and our plan for growth will be hampered.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders. All proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by selling shareholders will be received by the selling shareholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a maximum of $250,000 in this offering. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. Among the factors considered were:
* | our lack of operating history |
* | the proceeds to be raised by the offering |
* | the amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this offering in proportion to the amount of stock to be retained by our existing Stockholders, and |
* | our relative cash requirements. |
The selling security holders and any of its donees, pledgees, assignees and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of our common stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
* | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
* | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
* | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resales by the broker-dealer for its own account; |
* | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
* | privately negotiated transactions; |
* | in connection with short sales of the shares - a subscriber or selling shareholder may not enter into a short sale before the registration statement is declared effective and later used the registered shares to cover the short sale. |
* | broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share; |
* | a combination of any of these methods of sale; or |
* | any other method permitted by applicable law. |
The sale price to the public may be:
* | the market price prevailing at the time of sale; |
* | a price related to the prevailing market price; |
* | at negotiated prices; or |
* | a price the selling security holders determine from time to time. |
The shares owned by selling shareholders may not be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Rule 144 being unavailable for the resale of our shares until March 1, 2013. The selling security holders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The selling security holders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling security holders or any other such person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.

The conditions are that:
1. The person is not statutorily disqualified, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Act, at the time of his participation; and,

He is and will continue to be our sole officer and director at the end of the offering and has not been during the last twelve months and is currently not a broker/dealer or associated with a broker/dealer. He has not during the last twelve months and will not in the next twelve months offer or sell securities for another corporation.
Only after our registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, do we intend to advertise, through tombstones, and hold investment meetings in various states where the offering will be registered.

We will also distribute the prospectus to potential investors at the meetings and to our friends and relatives who are interested in us and a possible investment in the offering.
We intend to sell our shares in the states of New York, Illinois, Georgia, Wyoming, Colorado, New Jersey, Washington D.C. and/or outside the United States of America.
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act - Penny Stock Disclosure
Our shares are “penny stocks” covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder. They imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to resell your shares.
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as “bid” and “offer” quotes, a dealers “spread” and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons. While Section 15(g) and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to broker/dealers, they do not apply to us.
Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules.
Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker/dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.
Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.
Again, the foregoing rules apply to broker/dealers. They do not apply to us in any manner whatsoever. Again, the application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares. The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares because many brokers are unwilling to buy, sell or trade penny stocks as a result of the additional sales practices imposed upon them which are described in this section.

Shares Offered by Selling Shareholders
Of the 93,917,855 shares offered by the selling shareholders, none are being offered by our officers and directors.
General
HDS International, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, or “us”) is a green technology company providing renewable energy and eco-sustainability solutions. We are a developmental stage business, have not generated any revenues to date and have a history of operating losses.
The Company was incorporated November 3, 2008 under the laws of the State of Nevada, to engage in providing certain business services.
On August 16, 2011, we entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hillwinds Ocean Energy, LLC, a privately held consulting company (“HOEL”), under which we acquired from HOEL certain of HOEL’s assets, including a certain license relating to technologies for gas exchange, carbon dioxide capture and sequestration, algae biomass production and other renewable energy and eco-sustainability applications.
In exchange for the assets, we paid HOEL consideration of: (a) 7,500,000 shares of our Class A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share; (b) 250,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and (c) a twelve month, 10% promissory note in the sum of $325,000. HOEL is the majority owner of our issued and outstanding common stock and sole owner of all our issued and outstanding preferred stock.
Simultaneous with the Asset Acquisition Agreement, our former president, Mr. Mark Simon, returned for cancellation 440,820,000 shares of common stock, which were cancelled by us, and resigned from his positions as officer and director of the Company. Mr. Tassos D. Recachinas (“Mr. Recachinas”), president of HOEL, was appointed as our president and to our board of directors, becoming our sole officer and director. Mr. Recachinas continues to serve as president of both HOEL and of our Company, and as president and sole director of HOEL, exercises supermajority control over our Company.
We determined the consideration for the assets and the license through negotiation. There is no comparable product/license on the market, accordingly it could be said that the price for both was arbitrarily determined.
Pursuant to the terms of the license, we acquired the exclusive rights to develop, make, use, market and sell certain products and to practice certain processes within our licensed territory. Our licensed territory under the license consists of Back Bay, New Brunswick, Canada, and any geographical area within 50 miles from the center of Back Bay, with the boundary on the west being the border with the State of Maine in the United States. We believe our licensed territory offers favorable geological conditions conducive to the implementation of our underlying technologies.
On October 1, 2011, we reached a management consulting agreement with Alexander M. Chirkov, M.D., Ph.D., (“Dr. Chirkov”), whereby Dr. Chirkov became our Chief Scientific Officer. Our core technologies were developed by Dr. Chirkov and we believe we require his involvement to deploy, implement and commercialize our technologies.
On October 7, 2011, the Company expanded its intellectual property portfolio by entering into a certain new license agreement (the “October 2011 License”) with Hillwinds Energy Development Corp. (“HEDC”), which is controlled by our President and sole Director. The October 2011 License was identical in geographic territory as the August 16 License, but addressed newly developed technology.
On October 22, 2012, we formed a wholly-owned Canadian-based subsidiary, HDS Energy and Ecosystems NB, Ltd, headquartered in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, to be responsible for HDS International’s business and research and development interests in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada. The subsidiary was established to facilitate HDS International’s sales, marketing, grant application, and other business development efforts within the Province, as well as in response to certain potential customer requirements in the Province.
On November 30, 2012, we reached a seven year exclusivity agreement with the City of Saint John, NB, Canada for the installation of an anaerobic digester, beginning with a feasibility study. Under the terms of the agreement, HDS has received exclusive rights to pursue the installation of anaerobic digester waste-to-energy systems to operate in conjunction with the City of Saint John’s wastewater treatment infrastructure. We intend for the anaerobic digester project to incorporate HDS’ licensed carbon capture and algae biomass production technologies incremental to a traditional anaerobic digester’s functionality. Initially, HDS will be responsible for leading a feasibility study for an anaerobic digester facility that would incorporate its technologies at the City of Saint John’s “Lancaster” Wastewater Treatment Facility site, at its own expense. The City will contribute staff support and other internal assistance to HDS during the study, and has agreed to team on any grant applications identified by HDS. The agreement was executed by HDS’ President and CEO, as well as Saint John’s City Manager after receiving approval by resolution of the City’s Common Council.
If the City of Saint John determines to proceed under our agreement to implement an anaerobic digester incorporating our licensed carbon capture and algae biomass production technologies project based on our feasibility study, we will seek to negotiate a new contract with the City of Saint John to earn revenues as general contractor of the project. We intend to seek to generate revenue through subcontracting the anaerobic digester installation to an experienced anaerobic digester manufacturer and installer, and generate additional revenues through the sale of our carbon capture and algae biomass production equipment required by the project. We are unable to accurately predict our potential for revenues from our contract until we complete our feasibility study.
On December 10, 2012, through our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, HDS Energy and Ecosystems NB, Ltd., we entered into a new technology license agreement with HEDC, which expands the geographic territory under our previous technology licenses. All previous license agreements between HDS and HEDC, including the license under asset acquisition agreement dated August 15, 2011, and the intellectual property agreement consummated October 7, 2011 (dated September 2, 2012) have been terminated and superseded in their entirety by the new license agreement (the “NB Provincial License”).
The NB Provincial License expands our exclusive geographic territory to cover the entire Province of New Brunswick, Canada, as compared to the previous exclusive geographic territory under our other licenses, which was defined as Back Bay, New Brunswick, Canada, and any geography within 50 miles from the center of Back Bay, with the boundary on the west being the border with the State of Maine in the United States. We intend to earn revenues from the license agreement by developing, marketing and selling products utilizing HEDC’s technologies within our licensed geographic territory.
The financial terms of the NB Provincial License transaction to expand our geographic territory were deemed immaterial, with no cash or securities paid or owed by the Company to HEDC. HEDC is controlled by the Company’s officers and directors, who also control the majority of the Company’s basic and fully diluted shares of common stock, and accordingly this transaction was classified as a related-party transaction and was not conducted at arm’s-length.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have no contracted revenue stream and have taken only minimal steps toward the development of our business.
Technology
Our licensed technology and intellectual property portfolio consists of gas exchange technologies to capture, store, biosequester and reutilize carbon dioxide, and biomass production technologies for growth of algae (or other vegetation) for marketable purposes.
We believe that our carbon capture technologies can, among other things, be utilized to capture CO2 directly from flue gas streams, reducing emissions and pollution into the atmosphere. Conjointly, our biomass production technologies can be utilized for the controlled, high-rate production of algae, which in turn can be utilized as feedstock for energy production, including fuels and electricity, as well as for other bioproducts.
Carbon Capture, Storage, Biosequestration and Reutilization
Our technologies can be used to capture and store CO2. CO2 may be captured using a variety of techniques, and once captured, the CO2 can be permanently stored, or sequestered, to avoid future release into the atmosphere.
Primary existing pathways to carbon sequestration include existing geological, biological and chemical methods. Geological sequestration may be accomplished by storing CO2 in geological formations, including underground reservoirs. This method faces significant limitations and potential liabilities as storage capacity is limited and the non-trivial scenario of an accidental high pressure leak or rock penetration could be catastrophic.
Chemical sequestration is also problematic as it is expensive and the energy requirement to complete this process is enormous. Biological sequestration methods, which include the use of forests, plankton and other photosynthetic organisms to sequester CO2, have also for the most part been inefficient to date.
Biosequestration systems, however, offer the unique potential to overcome many of the independent hurdles faced by other sequestration methodologies and have emerged as a significant commercial opportunity.
We believe that a significant environmental benefit of algae biomass production is the potentially meaningfully contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions through large-scale carbon dioxide biosequestration.
Algae Production
Algae are aquatic plants that reproduce rapidly during photosynthesis, requiring a significant input of carbon dioxide for growth, as well as light energy, water, and nutrients, and releasing oxygen in the process. Algae production can be used to sequester carbon dioxide on a large scale, reducing pollution and generating carbon credits where applicable.
Once cultivated, algae biomass can be utilized to produce energy and other bioproducts.
Algae contain vegetable oil, with the percentage of biomass dry weight, concentration, and quality depending on species. This oil can be extracted from algae using a variety of techniques and used as a feedstock in the production of biodiesel, gasoline, jet fuel, plastics and solvents, among other things. We believe that any CO2 released in the production of biofuels could be captured utilizing our capture technologies, for utilization in the production of new algae.
Residual algal biomass, following any extraction of vegetable oil, consists of protein and carbohydrates that can be utilized in the production of certain bioproducts, including as a certain fish, animal and/or poultry feed ingredient, fertilizer, and material for ethanol or methanol production, among other things.
Dry algae biomass, regardless of oil content, can also be used to produce electricity, through incineration or anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion refers to the process by which organic waste is converted or digested into methane gas, which is then utilized to power turbines, thereby generating electricity.
Algae biomass could be utilized as a supplemental biodegradable waste to such a facility. We believe that any CO2 released in the burning of methane or production of electricity could be captured utilizing our capture technologies, for utilization in the production of new algae.
Algae energy systems provide the ability to produce renewable fuels while recycling carbon in a manner that is efficient, affordable and environmentally stable, addressing and overcoming significant challenges facing the United States and other industrialized countries.
To date, most existing commercial algae biomass production systems are centered on mechanized bioreactors or pond-based systems, and in addition to being costly and, in our view, inefficient, have faced the following three primary limitations:
1. | The efficient large-scale delivery of CO2. CO2 has limited physical solubility in water. This can be observed in carbonated beverages, where CO2 bubbles to the surface of the soft drink and escapes into the atmosphere. |
Existing bioreactor and pond technologies may attempt to increase the supply of CO2 available for algae consumption by boosting CO2 pressures in water. This is accomplished by pumping or bubbling CO2 through the nutritional media. This method typically results in low biosequestration efficiency, as the majority of gas pumped through the water cannot be absorbed fast enough by the algae and is released into the atmosphere.
Another CO2 delivery approach is to pressurize CO2 essentially attempting to force-feed CO2 to algae in an unnatural way through increase partial pressure. This method typically results in low biosequestration efficiency, as it creates condition where algae are unable to naturally ingest and utilize much of the CO2 for its growth.
2. | The availability of light energy. Algae require a reliable source of light energy, or photons, for growth. In door bioreactors and synthetic lighting systems are capital-intensive and costly. |
3. | The deleterious presence of oxygen in the algae growth cycle. The presence of oxygen negatively affects algae growth, as oxygen is deleterious to algae growth. To stimulate optimal growth conditions, oxygen released by algae during photosynthesis must be displaced from the algae growth site. Certain existing mechanical displacement systems are capital-intensive and costly. |
Many of the limitations above can be addressed by open water algae production systems, which represent the most promising solution for scalable energy feedstock production while recycling carbon in a manner that is efficient, affordable and environmentally stable. In an open-water environment, nature can recycle water and nutrients required for algae growth through natural tidal exchange, while the sun provides light free of charge, keeping algae production costs low.
That said, competing algae production technologies have not been focused around open water production, a primary reason being the challenges associated with supplying CO2 to open-water platform algae efficiently and in a large scale.
We believe our technologies can enable industrial scale open water algae production, which we believe is a competitive advantage.
We believe our technologies can lower the cost of biomass production, boost the growth rate of biomass, and increase the efficiency of production.
We believe our technologies can be integrated with existing carbon emitters, energy producers, water treatment plants, anaerobic digestion facilities, manufacturers, and transportation companies, among others, depending on a variety of factors.
We have not established any commercial facilities to date.
Products and Customers
We plan to design and construct carbon dioxide capture and algae biomass production equipment sets to the specifications of clients.
Our primary target clients include existing anaerobic digestion facility manufacturers and operators. An anaerobic digestion facility, also known as an anaerobic digester, is a waste management facility that uses microorganisms to break down biodegradable material (such as manure, food processing waste and algae, among other biodegradable materials), producing a biogas that typically consists of a mixture of carbon dioxide and methane, among other gases. The methane can be combusted to release energy and generate electricity as a source of renewable energy.
A common problem that anaerobic digestion facilities often face is that excess biogas not used on-site for energy purposes is typically flared and wasted. The reason for this is that excess methane produced by an anaerobic digester that is unable to be utilized immediately for power purposes cannot be compressed and stored for future transport or use due to its mixture with other gases, including carbon dioxide.
We believe our proprietary carbon dioxide removal systems can be customized and installed to process biogas produced by existing anaerobic digester facilities and remove carbon dioxide from the biogas. Once carbon dioxide has been removed from the biogas, the mixture of methane can be more easily compressed and stored for future transport or use, providing anaerobic digestion facilities an increased source of revenue through the ability to potentially sell this storable methane which may previously have been flared and wasted.
We also offer proprietary algae biomass production systems designed to utilize captured or otherwise sourced carbon dioxide for the controlled, localized production of algae. We believe our proprietary algae biomass systems can be used to transfer carbon dioxide, captured using our carbon capture systems or otherwise, to algae. We believe our proprietary algae production systems can assist algae growth.
We intend to earn revenues by leasing our carbon dioxide removal and algae biomass production equipment through monthly and annual operating leases, as well as through the sale of such equipment to our customers. We also seek to generate revenues through training and maintenance services, or through sublicensing agreements. We are unable to accurately estimate the potential costs or revenues associated with our carbon capture systems or algae biomass production systems until we conduct our feasibility study.
Algae can also be supplied to anaerobic digesters as feedstock to increase biogas and energy production for an anaerobic digester facility accepting algae. As part of our product offering, we will also seek to oversee the installation of an anaerobic digestion facility by obtaining exclusivity agreements for digesters, and then subcontracting the installation to experience anaerobic digester manufacturers while ensuring that any such installation incorporates our technologies. Under this scenario, we intend to generate revenue through subcontracting the anaerobic digester installation while generating additional potential revenues through the sale of our carbon capture and algae biomass production equipment to the project. We are unable to accurately predict our potential for revenues under this model until we complete our feasibility study.
We believe that other waste management and renewable energy companies can be potential customers for our technologies, but have not established a specific business plan with respect to those customers at this time.
Benefits of Algae Fuels vs. Other Feedstock Sources
The need for the development of reliable, sustainable, environmentally-friendly alternatives to petroleum fuels is significant and immediate. Global demand for petroleum has been growing at a rate that exceeds improvements in production, and as a finite natural resource, the available supply of petroleum is depleted each day. Petroleum products are also harmful to the environment and introduce carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants into the atmosphere when burned.
While numerous alternative energy solutions are being developed—including wind and solar, as well as other crop-based fuels (such as biofuel from corn or soybeans)—most face structural limitations and we believe none offer the scalability potential and promise for true energy independence as algae-based biofuels.
Algae is Renewable, Sustainable and Multiplies Rapidly
Algae reproduce by cellular division, can multiply rapidly and under the right conditions can double several times per day. These rapid growth rates enable production of feedstock on a scale impossible from other feedstock sources.
Algae Oil Does Not Require Arable Land or Compete with the Food Supply
Algae production does not compete with arable land, leaving farmland and rainforests free from adverse impact. The ethanol boom has diverted arable land and food supplies toward energy alternatives, which may have contributed to a rise in corn, soybean and consumer prices as well as unfavorable volatility in the commodity markets and food supplies globally. As algae are not presently a major human food source, producing it for biofuels does not take away from the food supply.
Algae can be Produced Close to End User
We believe that algae can be produced near heavily populated coastal areas, as opposed to the central United States, such as is the case with certain crop-based feedstock sources. The result is lower transportation costs for delivery to the end user. Coupled with algae’s general scalability, we believe algae-based oils can ultimately maintain a price advantage over food-based oils presently used in biodiesel production.
Algae Absorb CO2 While Simultaneously Releasing Oxygen during Growth
Algae grow through photosynthesis by absorbing CO2 as a nutrient and producing oxygen in exchange. Because algae absorbs CO2 rather than releases it during the production process, algae production is environmentally friendly, can meaningfully reduce carbon emissions and, where applicable, potentially generate carbon credits which may in the future serve as a source of revenue.
Algae Oil is Clean and Energy Efficient to Produce
Petroleum is a heavy pollutant that contains sulfur and other toxins. Petroleum drilling operations themselves can also be highly noxious, as refineries produce heavy pollutants and crude spills can become environmental catastrophes. By contrast, algae oil generates minimal greenhouse gases compared to conventional carbon fuels. Our algae production process itself is also believed to be environmentally friendly.
Algae Oil is Compatible with Existing Refineries and Distribution System
Unlike other alternatives to petroleum, which may bypass the existing refining infrastructure, algae oil technology is believed to enable the production of fuels fully compatible with existing infrastructure. The petroleum industry has demonstrated support for the refining of biofuels, and we believe algae oil can be used as a feedstock and petroleum substitute in the production of biodiesel, jet fuel and gasoline, among other fuels.
Algae is Flexible on Water Quality
Many species of algae thrive in seawater, water from saline aquifers or even wastewater from treatment plants. Because certain algae do not require fresh water to thrive, they do not compete for limited supplies of fresh water.
Algae Biomass Has Other Uses
The residual biomass following oil extraction, which consists of a protein and carbohydrates, can be used as a fish, animal and poultry feed ingredient, fertilizer, material for ethanol or methanol production, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and dyes, among other “green” products.
Dry residual biomass (with or without oil content) can also be utilized for the production of electric energy, through incineration or anaerobic digestion, or both.
We believe there can be minimal waste from a biomass harvest, with different components of the total harvest utilized for various purposes, including the production of specific bioproducts.
Algae Stimulates Economic Development
As developed and developing nations continue to look for ways to spur economic development, algae-based industries and innovation can provide substantial, tangible benefits to an economy, including the creation of jobs, improvement in security and reduction in dependence on imported oil, a potential increase in local tax revenues, and other benefits.
Insurance Policies
We maintain insurance policies covering our officers and directors from liability. We do not maintain any other insurance. There can be no assurance that our insurance is sufficient, or that the policy coverage limits are adequate or sufficient in the event of an accident, negligence or an act of God.
Employees
We are a development stage company and currently have no full time employees. We have two part-time employees, which consist of our President and CEO (Mr. Recachinas) and our Chief Scientific Officer (Dr. Chirkov).
Offices
Our executive offices are located at 10 Dorrance Street, Suite 700, Providence, Rhode Island 02093. Our primary telephone number is 401-400-0028. We lease the foregoing offices from Regus Management Group, pursuant to a virtual office lease agreement dated August 12, 2012. Our monthly rent is $99, for which we receive access to certain workspace solutions and services.

You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words may, will, should, could, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, intends, potential, proposed, or continue or the negative of those terms. These statements are only predictions. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors which may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the exceptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
We are considered a start-up corporation. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we complete the development of our website, source out suppliers for products to sell and source out customers to buy our products. We believe the technical aspects of our websites will be sufficiently developed to use for our operations 60 days from the completion of our offering. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than operations. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others in our company. We must raise cash to implement our project and begin our operations. We will not begin operations until we raise money from this offering.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. We believe that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to begin operations but we cannot guarantee that once we begin operations we will stay in business after operations have commenced. Regardless of the amount of money we raise in this public offering, we believe we will have sufficient cash to maintain operations during the next twelve months.
If we are unable to generate revenues as expected we believe we will be able to meet our cash requirements for the twelve months following the completion of this offering if we raise the maximum amount. If we fail to raise any funds and are unable to achieve revenues as expected we believe we will be able to meet our cash requirements for the next three month and we will need to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others in order for us to maintain our operations. 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.
If we raise less than $250,000 and we need more money we will have to revert to obtaining additional money as described in this paragraph. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.
We are offering up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock in a direct public offering, without any involvement of underwriters or broker-dealers, no shares minimum. The offering price is $0.005 per share. The table below sets forth the use of proceeds if we raise 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the total offering of $250,000:
| | 0% | | 25% | | 50% | | 75% | | 100% |

Total Offering Expenses | $ | 25,000 | $ | 25,000 | $ | 25,000 | $ | 25,000 | $ | 25,000 |
Net proceeds | $ | (25,000) | $ | 37,500 | $ | 100,000 | $ | 162,500 | $ | 225,000 |
The net proceeds will be used as follows:
| | 0% | | 25% | | 50% | | 75% | | 100% |
Hardware | $ | - | $ | 4,688 | $ | 12,500 | $ | 20,313 | $ | 28,125 |
Website | $ | - | $ | 938 | $ | 2,500 | $ | 4,063 | $ | 5,625 |

Working capital | $ | - | $ | 6,563 | $ | 17,500 | $ | 28,438 | $ | 39,375 |
Total Net Proceeds | $ | (25,000) | $ | 37,500 | $ | 100,000 | $ | 162,500 | $ | 225,000 |
It is possible that we may not be able to sell any shares of common stock or that the amount raised may be minimal and may not even cover the costs of the offering, which we have estimated at $25,000. Assuming we raise 25% of the offering amount, we will receive net proceeds of $37,500; if we raise 50% of the offering amount we will receive net proceeds of $100,000; if we raise 75% of the offering amount we will receive net proceeds of $162,500; and, if we raise 100% of the offering amount we will receive net proceeds of $225,000. Again, there is no assurance we will be able to raise any money in this public offering. Further, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by selling shareholders.
We will be responsible for the outstanding offering expenses regardless of the outcome of the offering.
Hardware is comprised of office equipment and computers for desktop use, as well as materials needed to construct product prototypes. If we raise at least $50,000, we will purchase office communications equipment, including one computer. If the maximum is raised we will purchase three desktop computers and materials to construct a carbon dioxide removal and reutilization platform prototype.
Assets will be purchased from unaffiliated third parties at the market price for the assets. As of the date hereof, we have not identified the persons from whom we will purchase the assets.
Website costs are related to developing our websites. Our corporate website will cost $2,000 to update. If $250,000 is raised, we will be able to incorporate additional functionality to the website for a total cost of $5,625.
Marketing and advertising is related to the design and purchase of various types of marketing materials and brochures which will promote our services to customers. If the maximum is raised, we can purchase large banners and other professional quality posters to display at trade shows and other similar functions.
If we raise $250,000 in this offering, we intend to pay two business development personnel and two scientists/engineers.
Working capital is the cost related to operating our office. It is comprised of expenses for telecommunications, mail, stationary, accounting, acquisition of office equipment and supplies, expenses of filing reports with the SEC, travel, and general working capital.
If we do not raise any money in our offering, we may not be able to maintain our operations during the next twelve months and our plan for growth will be hampered.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders. All proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by selling shareholders will be received by the selling shareholders.
Risks Associated With Investing In Us
1. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.
2. We were incorporated in 2008 and we have not started our proposed business operations or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. For the period ended September 30, 2012, our net loss since inception is ($937,306). Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
* | completion of this offering |
* | our ability to attract customers who will buy out products and services |
* | our ability to generate revenues through the development and sale of our products and services |
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.
3. We have no clients, customers or suppliers. We have not identified any clients, customers or suppliers and we cannot guarantee we ever will have any. Even if we obtain clients, customers and suppliers for our services, there is no guarantee that our suppliers will supply us required materials, or that our clients and customers will buy our products or services. If we are unable to attract customers to operate profitably we will have to suspend or cease operations.
4. We have not started our business. We need the proceeds from this offering to start our operations. We may need additional funds to complete further development of our business plan to achieve a sustainable sales level where ongoing operations can be funded out of revenues. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.
5. Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit marketing to potential customers and suppliers. The sale and implementation of projects via brochures and in person meetings with prospective clients is how we will generate business and revenues. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract customers to buy our products and services in order to operate profitably. If we cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
Plan of Operation - Milestones
The Company is only in the beginning stages of being able to access the renewable energy and eco-sustainability marketplace.
Over the next twelve months, our primary target milestones include:
1. | Entering into employment agreements with our Chief Scientific Officer (Dr. Alexander Chirkov), our President (Tassos D. Recachinas), and at least one other senior executive. We plan to conduct an executive search to identify an experienced executive with relevant technology and business experience to join our team. We expect all three formal employment agreements to cost us approximately $800,000 in cash. |
2. | Entering into a contract with at least one corporation to implement our carbon capture technology utilizing their infrastructure. We expect the business development and any subsequent implementation effort to cost us approximately $300,000. |
3. | Applying for at least one grant opportunity per quarter, from a Federal or U.S. State-sponsored organization or entity. We expect grant writing expenses, including those associated with consultants, to total approximately $50,000. |
Limited operating history; need for additional capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in a start-up stage operations and have not generated any revenues. 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 and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.

Operating Expenses and Net Loss
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $144,176 compared with $34,495 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in operating expenses was attributed to an increase in, professional fees of $10,278 and consulting expenses of $105,000 offset by decrease in general and administrative expenses of $276 for day-to-day operating costs, transfer agent fees of $321 and management fees of $5,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred operating expenses of $406,669 compared with $99,350 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase of $307,319 is attributed to an increase of $289,000 of consulting fees, $5,067 in professional fees and $35,090 of general and administrative expenses offset by a decrease of $20,000 of management fees, and $1,838 of transfer agent fees as there was a change in management during the period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a net loss of $449,629 compared with net income of $124,934 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In addition to the above, the Company incurred an increase of $20,012 of interest expense relating to debt balances and accretion expense of $6,964 for the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature on the convertible note issued in August 2011 offset by a decrease of $240,268 in gain on settlement of debt.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at September 30, 2012, the Company’s cash balance and total assets were $15,199 compared to cash balance of $320,178 and total assets of $327,753 as at December 31, 2011. The decrease in the cash balance was attributed to the use of cash during the period for day-to-day activities. The decrease in total assets was attributed to the decrease in cash noted above and the decrease in prepaid expenses and deposits of $7,575 relating to the amortization of prepaid insurance and membership costs.
As at September 30, 2012, the Company had total liabilities of $943,052 compared with total liabilities of $805,977 as at December 31, 2011. The increase in total liabilities is attributed to an increase of account payable and accrued liabilities of $68,769, $42,499 of which pertained to trade accounts payable and $26,270 pertained to related party accounts payable and accrued liabilities as well as an increase in the convertible debenture due to the accretion of the discount of the convertibility feature of $8,306 along with $60,000 of additional loan proceeds received from three separate convertible drawdown notes $60,000 in total, received on June 29, 2012 and the balance of the notes payable to be received on or before August 3, 2012. As at September 30, 2012, the remaining installments for each of the notes had not been received and are in default in accordance with the agreements. Each convertible drawdown note is unsecured, bears interest at 6% per annum, and is due on or before December 31, 2013. In addition, the notes payable are convertible into common shares of the Company, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $0.01 per share. The proceeds received from the notes payable will be used to support the Company’s ongoing development of its renewable energy and eco-sustainability solutions.
As at September 30, 2012, the Company has a working capital deficit of $372,216 compared with working capital of $9,107 at December 31, 2011 with the decrease in the working capital attributed to the decrease of $304,979 in cash held to pay for day-to-day activities of the Company and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the period and a decrease of $5,575 relating to the amortization of prepaid insurance and membership costs.
Cashflow from Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company used $364,979 of cash for operating activities compared to the use of $113,180 of cash for operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities was attributed to the fact that the Company incurred larger amounts for general and administrative costs for the period for day-to-day activities as well as an increase in consulting fees related to the renewable energy and eco-sustainable technologies owned.
Cashflow from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company received $60,000 of proceeds from financing activities compared to $561,151 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in proceeds from financing activities was due to the fact that the Company was only able to raise $60,000 from the issuance of a note payable in the period ended September 30 2012, compared with $710,6000 of notes payable raised in the period ended September 30, 2011 which was offset by repayments on the loan payable of $149,449.
Subsequent Developments
On January 2, 2013, we entered into a consulting agreement (the “Agreement”) with The Holden Group, LLC, a Tennessee Limited Liability Company (the “Consultant”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, we have agreed to pay to the Consultant $2,000 cash upon the execution of the Agreement; $500 on the first month anniversary of the Agreement; $500 on the second month anniversary of the Agreement; and, $500 on the third month anniversary of the Agreement. We have also delivered to the Consultant 600,000 restricted shares of our common stock as per the terms of the Agreement.
On December 19, 2012, the Company exercised its right to convert all $520,055 of principal and accrued interest under the August 18, 2011 promissory notes into 2,080,220 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and the promissory note terminated.
On November 26, 2012, we entered into a settlement agreement and general release (the “Restructuring Agreement”) with holders of convertible drawdown promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued on June 29, 2012. Under the terms of the Notes, $60,000 was lent to us on June 29, 2012 with $90,000 to be lent to us on or before August 3, 2012. The note holders failed to make the second loan of $90,000 to us and were in default under the Notes. Under the Restructuring Agreement, we have resolved and settled any and all disputes and claims arising from the Notes; the Notes and any interest accrued there under was cancelled, set aside, and held for naught; and the amount due the note holders was converted to 17,142,855 restricted shares of our common stock. The convertible drawdown promissory notes issued on June 29, 2012 were terminated on November 26, 2012.
On November 20, 2012 we sold 10,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to three individuals and received $35,000.00 therefore. The sales were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Reg. 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from our future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $220,559 compared with $139,896 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in operating expenses was attributed to an increase in general and administrative expense of $34,642 for day-to-day operating costs and consulting expenses of $60,500 offset by decrease in professional fees of $9,944 for lower legal expenses as the Company incurred more legal costs in prior year, transfer agent fees of $3,035 and management fees of $1,500 as there was a change in management during the period.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a net loss of $319,180 compared with a net loss of $145,094 for the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition to the above, the Company incurred an increase of $21,306 of interest expense relating to debt balances, accretion expense of $4,131 for the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature on the convertible note issued in August 2011, an impairment of intangible assets of $92,538 and a gain on settlement of debt of $24,552 relating to the settlement of outstanding obligations and forgiveness of debt during the fiscal year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at December 31, 2011, the Company’s cash balance was $320,178 and total assets were $327,753 compared to cash balance and total assets of $33,034 as at December 31, 2010. The increase in the cash balance was attributed to proceeds received of $500,000 which are unsecured, due interest at 3% per annum, and was offset by use of cash during the period for day-to-day activities and the repayment of $25,000 of the $325,000 loan. The increase in total assets was attributed to the net proceeds remaining from the debt financing in addition to $7,575 of prepaid expenses and deposits.
As at December 31, 2011, the Company had total liabilities of $318,646 compared with total liabilities of $182,132 as at December 31, 2010. The increase in total liabilities is attributed to financing of new debt of $500,000 less discount on beneficial conversion of $15,458 for the fair value of the convertibility feature. In addition, the Company issued a $325,000 note payable as part of the acquisition of the assets, and was offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $17,198 and notes payable of $139,600 which were either settled or forgiven during the period.
As at December 31, 2011, the Company has a working capital of $9,107 compared with a working capital deficit $149,098 at December 31, 2010 and the increase in the working capital is attributed to the proceeds received from new long-term debt financing.
Cashflow from Operating Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company used $239,007 of cash for operating activities compared to the use of $106,577 of cash for operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities was attributed to the fact that the Company paid for outstanding and current obligations with existing cash raised from debt financing.
Cashflow from Investing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company used $10,000 of cash for investing activities compared with the use of $nil for investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in the use of cash for investing activities was attributed to the purchase of an intangible asset for the rights to a license. During the year ended December 31, 2011, management reviewed the asset for indications of impairment and decided to fully impair the asset.
Cashflow from Financing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company received $825,000 of proceeds from financing activities compared to $139,600 during the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in proceeds from financing activities was due to receipt of $825,000 in short-term and long-term debt financing received during the period less repayments and settlements made during the period compared with only $139,600 received during the same period in the prior year.
Subsequent Developments
None.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.

Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not have an audit committee financial expert. We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because we are only beginning our commercial operations, at the present time, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
Audit Committee
We do not have a separately designated audit committee. Accordingly, our board of directors is deemed our audit committee as provided for under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a corporate code of ethics. We believe our code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code. A copy of the code of ethics is filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2009.
Disclosure Committee
We do not have a disclosure committee or disclosure committee charter. Our disclosure committee is effectively comprised of our sole director, Mr. Tassos Recachinas.
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations that no other reports were required, and to the best of our knowledge, we believe that all of our officers, directors, and owners of 10% or more of our common stock failed to file Form 3s, 4s and 5s:
Director Independence
We have no independent directors.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any of the officers, directors, or consultants.
Conflicts of Interest
Our officers and directors will devote time to projects that do not involve us.
Tassos Recachinas, our sole officer and director controls Hillwinds Ocean Energy, LLC and certain of its affiliates, which may compete with us outside of our licensed territory. Furthermore, Mr. Recachinas also controls our licensor, which we may need to reach an agreement with in order to expand our licensed territory or scope of our existing licensing agreement.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards
We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.
Indemnification
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he 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, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The holders of Common Stock issued and outstanding have and possess the right to receive notice of shareholders’ meetings and to vote upon the election of directors or upon any other matter as to which approval of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or approval of the common shareholders is required or requested.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized, by resolution adopted and filed in accordance with law, to provide for the issue of such series of shares of preferred stock. Each series of shares of preferred stock:
| (a) | may have such voting powers, full or limited, or may be without voting powers; |
| (b) | may be subject to redemption at such time or times and at such prices as determine by the Board of Directors; |
| (c) | may be entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative) at such rate or rates, on such conditions and at such times, and payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes or series of stock; |
| (d) | may have such rights upon the dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation; |
| (e) | may be made convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation or such other corporation or other entity at such price or prices or at such rates of exchange and with such adjustments; |

Class A Preferred Shares. Of the 50,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, the total number of shares of Class A Preferred Shares the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is Twenty Five Million (25,000,000), with a stated par value of $0.001 per share. Of the designated 25,000,000 Class A Preferred Shares, we have issued 7,500,000 shares to Hillwinds Ocean Energy, LLC which is controlled by our sole officer and director, Mr. Recachinas. The designations, powers, preferences, rights and restrictions granted or imposed upon the Class A Preferred Shares and holders thereof are as follows:
(a) Liquidation Preference.
| (i) | In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Class A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation, whether such assets are capital or surplus of any nature, an amount equal to the stated par value less the aggregate amount of all prior distributions to its Preferred Shareholders made to holders of all classes of Preferred Shares, plus any accrued previously declared but unpaid dividends (the amount so determined being hereinafter referred to as the “liquidation Preference”). No distribution shall be made to the holders of the Common Shares upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up until after the full amount of the Liquidation Preference has been distributed or provided to the holders of the Preferred Shares. |
| (ii) | If, upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up the assets thus distributed among the Preferred Shareholders shall be insufficient to permit payment to such shareholders of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference, the entire assets of the Corporation shall be distributed ratably among the holders of all classes of Preferred Shares. |
| (iii) | In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, when the Corporation has completed distribution of the full Liquidating Preference to the holders of the Class A Preferred Shares, the Class A Preferred Shares shall be considered to have been redeemed, and thereafter, the remaining assets of the Corporation shall be paid in equal amounts on all outstanding shares of Common Stock. |
| (iv) | A consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this subsection 5.4(a). |
| (b) | Conversion Rights. At any time holders of the Class A Preferred Shares who endorse the share certificates and deliver them together with a written notice of their intent to convert to the corporation at its principal office, shall be entitled to convert such shares and receive twenty (20) shares of Common Stock for each share being converted. Such conversion is subject to the following adjustments, terms, and conditions: |
| (i) | If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock has been decreased since the initial issuance of the Class A Preferred Shares (or series having conversion rights (by reason of any split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or other capital change or reorganization affecting the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock), the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion to the holders or Class A Preferred Shares shall not be adjusted unless by appropriate amendment of this article. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock has been increased since the initial issuance of the Class A Preferred Shares (or series having conversion rights (by reason of any split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or other capital change or reorganization affecting the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock), the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion to the holders or Class A Preferred Shares shall equitably be adjusted by appropriate amendment of this article, and other articles as applicable. |
| (ii) | Shares converted under this article shall not be reissued. The corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available a sufficient number of authorized but unissued common shares, and shall obtain and keep in effect any required permits to enable it to issue and deliver all common shares required to implement the conversion rights granted herein. |
| (iii) | No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion, but the corporation shall pay cash for any fractional shares of Common Stock to which shareholders may be entitled at the fair value of such shares at the time of conversion. The board of directors shall determine such fair value. |
(c) Voting Rights.
| (i) | Voting. With respect to each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation, each holder of Class A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to cast that number of votes which is equivalent to the number of shares of Class A Preferred Shares owned by such holder times one hundred (100). The Company shall not, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Class A Preferred Shares (i) authorize or create any additional class or series of stock ranking prior to or on a parity with the Class A Preferred Shares as to the dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, or (ii) change any of the rights, privileges or preferences of the Class A Preferred Shares. |
| (ii) | Class Vote. Except as otherwise required by law or as described above, holders of our common stock and Class A Preferred Shares shall vote as a single class on all matters submitted to the stockholders. |
Provisions in Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws That Would Delay, Defer or Prevent a Change in Control
Our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue a class of preferred stock commonly known as a “blank check” preferred stock. Specifically, the preferred stock may be issued from time to time by the board of directors as shares of one (1) or more classes or series. Our board of directors, subject to the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and limitations imposed by law, is authorized to adopt resolutions; to issue the shares; to fix the number of shares; to change the number of shares constituting any series; and to provide for or change the following: the voting powers; designations; preferences; and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including the following: dividend rights, including whether dividends are cumulative; dividend rates; terms of redemption, including sinking fund provisions; redemption prices; conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any class or series of the preferred stock.
In each such case, we will not need any further action or vote by our shareholders. One of the effects of undesignated preferred stock may be to enable the board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of our management. The issuance of shares of preferred stock pursuant to the board of director’s authority described above may adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock. For example, preferred stock issued by us may rank prior to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage bids for the common stock at a premium or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of the common stock.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Share Purchase Warrants
We have not issued and do not have outstanding any warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.
Options
We have not issued and do not have outstanding any options to purchase shares of our common stock.
Convertible Securities
On December 19, 2012, the Company exercised its right to convert all $520,055 of principal and accrued interest under the August 18, 2011 promissory notes into 2,080,220 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and the promissory note terminated.
On November 26, 2012, we entered into a settlement agreement and general release (the “Restructuring Agreement”) with holders of convertible drawdown promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued on June 29, 2012. Under the terms of the Notes, $60,000 was lent to us on June 29, 2012 with $90,000 to be lent to us on or before August 3, 2012. The note holders failed to make the second loan of $90,000 to us and were in default under the Notes. Under the Restructuring Agreement, we have resolved and settled any and all disputes and claims arising from the Notes; the Notes and any interest accrued there under was cancelled, set aside, and held for naught; and the amount due the note holders was converted to 17,142,855 restricted shares of our common stock. The convertible drawdown promissory notes issued on June 29, 2012 were terminated on November 26, 2012.
On June 29, 2012, the Company issued convertible debentures to non-related parties for $150,000, comprised of payments of $60,000 on June 29, 2012, and $90,000 due August 3, 2012. Under the terms of the note, the amount owing is unsecured, due interest of 6% per annum, and due on or before December 31, 2013.
The convertible debentures also provide that, so long as the lender is not in default, either party shall have the right to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into fully paid and non-assessable shares of our common stock at the rate of one restricted share of common stock for each $0.01 owed.
On August 18, 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to a non-related party for $500,000, comprised of payments of $100,000 on August 19, 2011, $150,000 on August 26, 2011, and $250,000 on September 6, 2011. Under the terms of the note, the amount owing is unsecured, due interest of 3% per annum, and due on or before February 19, 2013. As at March 31, 2012, accrued interest of $9,288 has been recorded in accrued liabilities.
The convertible debenture also grants the right of the Company to convert its debt into common shares of the Company at any time at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. For the first payment of $100,000 on August 19, 2011, the Company recorded beneficial conversion of $16,800 relating to the number of convertible shares (400,000 shares) and the excess of the fair value of the share price and the conversion price. No beneficial conversion was recorded for the $150,000 and $250,000 payments, as the fair value of the Company’s share prices was less than the conversion price on the date of issuance. As at September 30, 2012, the Company recorded accumulative accretion expense of $12,437 with a corresponding credit to the long-term note payable.
The 7,500,000 issued and outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of common stock at a rate of 20 common shares for each Class A Preferred Share converted. If all of our Class A Preferred Stock was converted into shares of common stock, the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company would increase by 150,000,000.
Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws
Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.379 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not state that these provisions do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of the State of Nevada; and does business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Because of these conditions, the statute currently does not apply to our company.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
There are no Nevada anti-takeover provisions that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.

Stock Transfer Agent
Our stock transfer agent for our securities is Action Stock Transfer Corp., 2469 E. Fort Union Boulevard, Suite 214, Salt Lake City, UT 84121. Its telephone number is (801) 274-1088.
On November 4, 2008 we issued 39,850,000 shares of common stock to Shares were issued to our founders as follows: (1) Don Calabria 510,000 shares; (2) Alan Collier 105,000 shares; (3) Michael Dimento 37,500 shares; (4) C2 Capital, LLC (a company controlled by Mr. Calabria and Mr. Collier); 675,000 shares; (5) and (6) Frank J. Hariton Esq., Company counsel, 22,500 shares. Such shares were issued for their par value of $0.001 per share. The aggregate consideration we received was $1,350. All of such transactions with the Company’s founders were exempt from registration by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. All of the shares issued in such transactions bear an appropriate restrictive legend.
In March 2010, Mark Simon, our former president, forgave all outstanding amounts owing him in consideration of $2,649. The amount has been recorded against the amounts due to related party with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued 25,200,000 split-adjusted common shares to settle management fees of $7,000, valued at $0.0003, the last price at which we sold shares of common stock for cash.
On August 12, 2011, the Company owed $24,965 to the former President of the Company for management fees, the amount owing was unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. On August 12, 2011, the Company repaid $10,000 and the former President of the Company forgave the outstanding amount owing of $14,965, which was recorded as a gain on settlement of debt and included in additional paid in capital due to the transaction occurring with a related party.
On October 7, 2011, the Company paid $10,000 to Hillwinds Energy Development Corp, a corporation controlled by our President, Tassos Recachinas, pursuant to an intellectual property license agreement dated September 2, 2011, under which HEDC licensed us certain intellectual property in consideration of $10,000.
The intellectual property licensed to us relates to the reutilization of carbon dioxide using genetically modified algae as an active agent in a biological reactor converting carbon dioxide into methane. The technology licensed to us is the subject matter of a recent Provisional Patent Application #61/575,935 filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The licensed territory consists of Back Bay, New Brunswick, Canada, and any geographical area within 50 miles from the center of Back Bay, with the boundary on the west being the border with the State of Maine in the United States.
In determining the consideration for the license, we considered the following factors: the status of the underlying patent application, the stage of development of the intellectual property, the business application potential of the intellectual property by us, the duration of the license, and the other terms of the license. Based upon those factors, we determined that the consideration for the patent was more favorable to us than could be obtained from and independent third party, however, we did not obtain any independent opinion as to the appropriateness of the consideration paid to HEDC.
On December 10, 2012, through our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, HDS Energy and Ecosystems NB, Ltd., we entered into a new technology license agreement with HEDC, which expands the geographic territory under our previous technology licenses. All previous license agreements between HDS and HEDC, including the license under asset acquisition agreement dated August 15, 2011, and the intellectual property agreement consummated October 7, 2011 (dated September 2, 2012) have been terminated and superseded in their entirety by the new license agreement (the “NB Provincial License”).
The NB Provincial License expands our exclusive geographic territory to cover the entire Province of New Brunswick, Canada, as compared to the previous exclusive geographic territory under our other licenses, which was defined as Back Bay, New Brunswick, Canada, and any geography within 50 miles from the center of Back Bay, with the boundary on the west being the border with the State of Maine in the United States.
The financial terms of the NB Provincial License transaction to expand our geographic territory were deemed immaterial, with no cash or securities paid or owed by the Company to HEDC. HEDC is controlled by the Company’s officers and directors, who also control the majority of the Company’s basic and fully diluted shares of common stock, and accordingly this transaction was classified as a related-party transaction and was not conducted at arm’s-length.
In determining the consideration for the NB Provincial License, we considered the expanded geographic coverage of the license and new license term. Based upon those factors, we determined that the consideration for the NB Provincial License was more favorable to us than could be obtained from and independent third party, however, we did not obtain any independent opinion as to the appropriateness of the consideration paid to HEDC.
As at September 30, 2012, the Company owed $334,657 to Hillwinds Ocean Energy, LLC (“HOEL”), a company controlled by our President, the amounts owing unsecured, bearing interest at 10% per annum, and due August 16, 2012. During 2012, the Company repaid $0 of accrued interest and $0 of principal under the obligation. As at September 30, 2012, the Company has recorded accrued interest of $34,657.
Tassos Recachinas is our only promoter. In addition to the transactions described herein this Item 3, Mr. Recachinas received $9,000 from us during 2011 (nil, 2012) for management consulting services. Mr. Recachinas has not received anything else of value (including money, property, contracts, options or rights of any kind) from us other than we paid HOEL, a corporation owned and controlled by Mr. Recachinas (a) 7,500,000 shares of our Class A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share; (b) 250,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and (c) a twelve month, 10% promissory note in the sum of $325,000, in connection with the purchase of certain assets from HOEL, including a certain license relating to technologies for gas exchange, carbon dioxide capture and sequestration, algae biomass production and other renewable energy and eco-sustainability applications, as described in the Asset Acquisition Agreement dated August 16, 2011. HOEL is the majority owner of our issued and outstanding common stock and sole owner of all our issued and outstanding preferred stock. The foregoing was an arm’s length transaction negotiated between our former management and Tassos Recachinas on behalf of himself and HOEL. Mr. Recachinas believed we had no appreciative value as a “shell company” and accordingly was only willing to transfer the assets to us in consideration of absolute control of us.

HDS International Corp.
(formerly GMV Wireless, Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements (expressed in U.S. dollars)
1. | Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business |
HDS International Corp. (formerly GMV Wireless, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 3, 2008 under the laws of the State of Nevada. A substantial portion of the Company’s activities has involved developing a business plan and establishing contacts and visibility in the marketplace and the Company has not generated any revenue to date. The Company plans to engage in the business of providing renewable energy and eco-sustainability solutions based on its licensed technologies.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated no revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $372,216 and an accumulated deficit of $937,306. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
c) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no cash equivalents.
d) | Beneficial Conversion Features |
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an imbedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
e) | Development Stage Company |
The Company is currently considered a development stage company as defined by ASC 915-10-05. As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the development stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date. An entity remains in the development stage until such time as, among other factors, revenues have been realized. To date, the development stage of the Company’s operations consists of developing the business model and marketing concepts.
f) | Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share |
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
g) | Interim Financial Statements |
These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at September 30, 2012, the Company has no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as at September 30, 2012 as follows:
| Fair Value Measurements Using | |
| Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) $ | Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) $ | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) $ | Balance, September 30, 2012 $ |
Convertible debenture | – | – | 555,637 | 555,637 |
The carrying values of all of our other financial instruments, which include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
j) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance in ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, items of other comprehensive income that are reclassified to profit or loss are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by requiring that such amounts be presented either in a single continuous statement of income and comprehensive income or separately in consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

j) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) |
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”. This amendment explains which modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”). Under the new guidance, the definition of a troubled debt restructuring remains essentially unchanged, and for a loan modification to be considered a TDR, certain basic criteria must still be met. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructuring occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
3. Related Party Transactions
a) | As at September 30, 2012, the Company owes $334,657 (December 31, 2011 - $312,137) to a company controlled by officers and directors of the Company. The amounts owing are unsecured, bears interest at 10% per annum, and due by August 15, 2012. As at September 30, 2012, the Company has recorded accrued interest of $34,657 included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities – related party. As at September 30, 2012, the amount owed and the accrued interest are in default pursuant to the agreement. |
b) | As of September 30, 2012, the Company has incurred $32,250 (December 31, 2011 - $9,000) to the President and CEO of the Company for consulting services. As at September 30, 2012 the Company recorded a related party accounts payable of $3,750 included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities – related party. |
4. Convertible Debenture
a) | In August 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to a non-related party for $500,000, comprised of payments of $100,000 on August 19, 2011, $150,000 on August 26, 2011, and $250,000 on September 6, 2011. Under the terms of the note, the amount owing is unsecured, due interest of 3% per annum, and due on or before February 19, 2013. As at September 30, 2012, accrued interest of $16,808 has been recorded in accrued liabilities. |
The convertible debenture also grants the right of the Company to convert its debt into common shares of the Company at any time at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. For the first payment of $100,000 on August 19, 2011, the Company recorded beneficial conversion of $16,800 relating to the number of convertible shares (400,000 shares) and the excess of the fair value of the share price and the conversion price. No beneficial conversion was recorded for the $150,000 and $250,000 payments, as the fair value of the Company’s share prices was less than the conversion price on the date of issuance. For the period ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded accretion expense of $8,306.
b) | On June 29, 2012, the Company issued three separate convertible drawdown note payables of $50,000 each, with $20,000 of each note being received on June 29, 2012 and the remaining $30,000 for each note to be received on or before August 3, 2012. Under the terms of the note, the amount owing is unsecured, due interest of 6% per annum, and due on or before December 31, 2013. As at September 30, 2012, the second instalments for each of the notes had not been received and are in default in accordance with the agreements. As at September 30, 2012, accrued interest of $921 has been recorded in accrued liabilities. |
The convertible debentures also grant the right of the Holder and the Company to convert its debt into common shares of the Company at any time at a conversion price of $0.01 per share. No beneficial conversion feature was recorded for the, as the fair value of the Company’s share prices was less than the conversion price on the date of issuance.

6. Subsequent Events
We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial statements, and did not have any material recognizable subsequent events after September 30, 2012.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
HDS International Corp.
(formerly GMV Wireless, Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of HDS International Corp (a Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from November 3, 2008 (inception) through December 31, 2011. 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
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 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 HDS International Corp. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 suffered a net loss from operations and has a net deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

HDS International Corp.
(formerly GMV Wireless, Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements (expressed in U.S. dollars)
1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
HDS International Corp. (formerly GMV Wireless, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 3, 2008 under the laws of the State of Nevada. A substantial portion of the Company’s activities has involved developing a business plan and establishing contacts and visibility in the marketplace and the Company has not generated any revenue to date. The Company plans to engage in the business of providing renewable energy and eco-sustainability solutions based on its licensed technologies.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated no revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had working capital of $9,107 and an accumulated deficit of $487,677. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long-lived assets, convertible debentures, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no cash equivalents.
d) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are carried at the purchased cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally from fifteen to twenty years.
e) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(expressed in U.S. dollars)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
f) Beneficial conversion features
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an imbedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.
g) Development Stage Company
The Company is currently considered a development stage company as defined by FASB ASC 915-10-05. As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the development stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date. An entity remains in the development stage until such time as, among other factors, revenues have been realized. To date, the development stage of the Company’s operations consists of developing the business model and marketing concepts.
h) Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
i) Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes, as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
j) Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
k) Financial Instruments
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
k) Financial Instruments (continued)
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as at December 31, 2011 as follows:
| Fair Value Measurements Using | |
| Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) $ | Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) $ | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) $ | Balance, December 31, 2011 $ |
Convertible debenture | – | – | 487,331 | 487,331 |
The carrying values of all of our other financial instruments, which include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
l) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance in ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, items of other comprehensive income that are reclassified to profit or loss are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by requiring that such amounts be presented either in a single continuous statement of income and comprehensive income or separately in consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

m) Financial Instruments
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”. This amendment explains which modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”). Under the new guidance, the definition of a troubled debt restructuring remains essentially unchanged, and for a loan modification to be considered a TDR, certain basic criteria must still be met. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructuring occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect that the guidance effective in future periods will have a material impact on its financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

On August 16, 2011, the Company acquired the License and related assets in exchange for the issuance of a $325,000 note payable, which is unsecured, bearing interest at 10% per annum, and due on August 16, 2012, and the issuance of 250,000,000 common shares of the Company, and 7,500,000 Class A preferred shares of the Company. The assets were valued at cost totaling $82,538, based on certain historical costs incurred by the seller.
On October 7, 2011, the Company expanded its intellectual property portfolio by entering into a certain license agreement with Hillwinds Energy Development Corp. (“HEDC), in exchange for a cash payment of $10,000.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, management reviewed the intangible assets for indications of impairment and decided to fully impair these assets based on the difficulty to fairly value these assets.
4. Related Party Transactions
