The Company's tire recycling and shredding equipment operations were unsuccessful and the Company generated significant losses during 1994 and 1995. During 1995 the Company funded its operations with loans from a commercial banks from management and other individuals. By November 1995, the Board of Directors had concluded that the Company did not have the capital, or the ability to obtain capital necessary to continue its current operations. The Company's Board of Directors initiated efforts to sell the Company's WRTI and CTR operations. The Company was able to interest one of its directors and several other individuals in purchasing WRTI and CTR. Effective December 29, 1995, the Company sold all of its shares of WRTI and CTR for $30,000 and the payment and or assumption of liabilities. As a result of such sale, the Company's total liabilities, on a consolidated basis, decreased from $1,758,308 to $6,665. The Company currently has no active business operations and is seeking investments in other business entities. The financial statements attached hereto present WRTI and CTR for both 1996 and 1995 as discontinued operations. As a result of the matters described above, the Company's historical financial statements and this Management's Discussion and Analysis are not necessarily reflective of the Company's future operations or financial condition. Financial Condition Total assets at September 30, 1996 were $17,626, all of which was cash. This reflects the sale of WRTI and CTR on December 29, 1995. On September 30, 1996, the Company had total liabilities of $270. All of its previously liabilities, which had been reflected on its consolidated financial statements, were paid by or assumed by the Buyers of WRTI and CTR. The Company intends to use such cash to pay for various filing fees and professional fees relating to its reporting obligations and to fund the costs which may arise from seeking new business opportunities. It is likely that the Company will be required to raise additional capital in order to attract and potential acquisition partner but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional capital. It is also likely that any future acquisition will be made through the issuance of 7 shares of the Company's common stock which will result in the dilution of the percentage ownership of the current shareholders. Results of Operations As stated above, the Company sold WRTI and CTR on December 29, 1995 and has treated them as discontinued operations. Therefore, the revenues of WRTI and CTR have been excluded from the Statement of Operations which is included in the financial statements attached hereto. Therefore, excluding the operations of WRTI and CTR, the Company had no revenues during 1996 or 1995. The Company's total loss for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $308. Its loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $5,604. It is unlikely that the Company will be able to generate any revenues unless and until it acquires an operating company, of which there can be no assurance. Plan of Operation Commencing in the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company's Plan of Operation was essentially the plan to sell its WRTI and CTR operation. Effective December 29, 1995 these operations were sold. The Company's current plan of operation is to acquire another operating company. It is likely that any acquisition will be a "reverse merger" acquisition whereby the Company acquires a larger company by issuing shares of the Company's common stock to the shareholders of the larger company. Although the Company would be the surviving or parent company from a corporate law standpoint, the shareholders of the larger company would be the controlling shareholders of the Company and the larger company would be treated as the survivor or parent company from an accounting point of view. It can be expected that any company which may desire to be acquired by the Company will do so as method of potentially becoming a public company more quickly and less expensively than if such company undertook its own public offering. The Company has not identified any potential acquisition target and there can be no assurance that it will be able to acquire any other company. Furthermore, even if the Company is able to acquire another company, there can be no assurance that the Company will ever operate at a profit. 8 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
