ABOUT
OUR COMPANY
On
November 6, 2001, we were incorporated in the State of Delaware under the name
American Resource Recovery Group Ltd.
On
April
22, 2002, we filed another certificate of amendment to increase our authorized
shares to 10,000,000, par value $.01. Finally, on July 7, 2004, we filed a
certificate of amendment increasing our authorized shares to
100,000,000.
Our
operations are located in Monroe, Michigan. We maintain a website at the
following address: www.alliancerecoverycorporation.com. Through a link on our
website to the SEC website, www.sec.gov, the public is provided free access
to
our annual reports on Form 10-KSB, quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB,
current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or
furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 as soon as reasonably practicable after electronic filing with the
SEC.
We intend to make the charters of our Board committees, and our Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics for our directors, officers and employees, available on
our
website, and we will post on our website any waivers of, or amendments to,
such
code of ethics. Our website and the information contained therein or linked
thereto are not incorporated by reference into this report.
We
are a
development stage company. We intend to engage in the business of producing
electrical energy from waste and then selling it to industries such as
utilities. While reducing rubber waste into fuel oil for electrical energy
generation, we will also produce the required process fuel and marketable
by-products derived from the thermal process. These by-products include carbon
black, steel, and steam and/or hot water.
We
currently have no business operations. We intend, through future wholly-owned
subsidiaries, to build processing plants in various large urban centers of
the
United States. We intend to operate strategically positioned manufacturing
process units (“ARC Units”) in selected states of the United States. ARC Units
are based upon several existing manufacturing processes integrated into a single
production facility. Prior to the waste to energy process, an initial volume
reduction system is designed to compact approximately 3,000 pounds of rubber
waste into 4’ x 4’ x 8’ ecoblocks for convenient and safe storage. The waste to
energy conversion process reduces waste rubber using a thermal process to
produce fuel oil to power large reciprocating engines driving alternators
generating electrical energy for sale to adjacent users or into local power
grids. Scrap tires will be the main rubber waste, which when reduced to oil,
provides the fuel for the production of energy and gases to power the ARC
unit.
We
will
receive tipping fees in exchange for providing a point of final disposition
for
rubber waste. In addition to process fuel gases generated in the conversion
reaction, the ARC Unit also has the ability to recover other residual
by-products from the rubber to oil thermal conversion process. Carbon black
and
steel are recovered in marketable qualities and quantities. Steam and/or hot
water, produced during the thermal conversion process are also marketable
recovered by-products. The ARC Unit was developed by our founder, Peter Vaisler,
a team of third-party consulting engineers and scientists, as well as
individuals with specific business and process and equipment operations
knowledge acquired from hands on operating experience with the various system
components. The ARC Unit is an integration of existing process technology
currently in use as stand alone manufacturing processes. We have identified
a
number of potential sites for the construction of our first
installation.
Our
auditors have issued us a going concern opinion. Two of our officers and
directors, David Williams and Peter Vaisler, own the majority of our shares
allowing them to control all of our actions. We believe that we are not a blank
check company as that term is defined in Rule 419 of Regulation C under the
Rules of the Securities Act of 1933. We do not have any intention of merging
with another company or allowing ourselves to be acquired by another company,
or
to act as a blank check company as defined in Regulation C.

TRANSACTION
SUMMARY
TRANSACTION
WITH DUTCHESS PRIVATE EQUITIES FUND, LTD
On
May
29, 2007, we entered into an Investment Agreement (“Original Agreement”) with
Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. (the “Investor”). On July 24,
2007, we amended the Investment Agreement (the “Agreement”) to remove the
provision concerning our right to withdrawal. Pursuant to this
Agreement, the Investor shall commit to purchase up to $20,000,000 of our common
stock over the course of thirty-six (36) months. The amount that we shall be
entitled to request from each purchase (“Puts”) shall be equal to, at our
election, either (i) up to $250,000 or (ii) 200% of the average daily volume
(U.S. market only) of the common stock for the three (3) trading days prior
to
the applicable put notice date, multiplied by the average of the three (3)
daily
closing bid prices immediately preceding the put date. If our The put
date shall be the date that the Investor receives a put notice of a draw down
by
us. The purchase price shall be set at ninety-four percent (94%) of the lowest
closing bid price of the common stock during the pricing period. The pricing
period shall be the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately after the
put
notice date. There are put restrictions applied on days between the put date
and
the closing date, which would be seven days following the put notice, with
respect to that particular Put. During this time, we shall not be entitled
to
deliver another put notice. Although cash received from each Put will
increase our liquidity, the sale of our common stock to the Investor in
accordance with the Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders.
As
a result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods and the
market price of our common stock could decline.
In
connection with the Agreement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
with the Investor (“Registration Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration
Agreement, we are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission covering the shares of common stock underlying the
Agreement within thirty (30) days after the May 29, 2007 execution of the
Original Agreement. In addition, we are obligated to use all commercially
reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by
the
SEC within ninety (90) days after the May 29, 2007 execution of the Original
Agreement.
The
Agreement does not impose any penalties on us for failure to meet either the
30
day or 90 day obligations, however, we shall endeavor to meet both such
deadlines.
We
agreed
to pay the Investor $15,000 in cash for preparation of the Agreement and the
Registration Agreement.

RISK
FACTORS
The
following risk factors should be considered carefully in addition to the other
information contained in this report. This report contains forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future
financial performance. We generally identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,”
“could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these
terms or other similar words. These statements are only
predictions.
The
outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject
to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
our
customers’ or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, to
differ. “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” and “Business,”
as well as other sections in this report, discuss some of the factors that
could
contribute to these differences.
The
forward-looking statements made in this report relate only to events as of
the
date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update
any
forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date
on
which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.
This
report also contains market data related to our business and industry. These
market data include projections that are based on a number of assumptions.
If
these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual results may differ from
the
projections based on these assumptions. As a result, our markets may not grow
at
the rates projected by these data, or at all. The failure of these markets
to
grow at these projected rates may have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, financial condition and the market price of
our
Common Stock.
An
investment in our common stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree
of risk. Therefore, you should consider all of the risk factors discussed below,
as well as the other information contained in this document. You should not
invest in our common stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment
and you are not dependent on the funds you are investing.
OUR
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR HAS ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION WHICH RAISES DOUBTS
ABOUT
OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A VIABLE ENTITY
Our
independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. The notes to our financial statements include
an
explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. Among the reasons cited in the notes as raising substantial
doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern are the following: we
are
a development stage company with no operations, a stockholders' deficiency
of
$1,742,570, a working capital deficiency of $657,747 and cash used in operations
from inception of $1,578,419 Our ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent on our ability to further implement our business plan, raise
additional capital and generate revenues. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We
have a
history of operating losses, limited funds and may continue to incur operating
losses. If these continue, we may ultimately be required to seek protection
from
creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.
WE
CAN LOSE THE RIGHT TO USE THE TECHNOLOGY THAT IS A VITAL PART OF OUR BUSINESS
PLAN SINCE WE ONLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE THIS TECHNOLOGY PURSUANT TO OUR
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH PETER VAISLER, OUR CEO, PRESIDENT AND
DIRECTOR
There
is
certain technology that we need to use to be able to carry out our business
plan. This technology is owned by Peter Vaisler, our CEO, President and
director. He licenses the technology to us pursuant to the employment agreement
we have with him. If Mr. Vaisler’s employment agreement is terminated, we
may lose the right to use the technology. This will prevent us from carrying
out
our business plan. However, if the employment agreement is terminated, we have
the right to license the technology for a onetime fee equal to the current
replacement value of the technology determined by an engineer’s opinion
acceptable to us and Mr. Vaisler.
EXISTING
STOCKHOLDERS MAY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT DILUTION FROM THE SALE OF OUR COMMON
STOCK PURSUANT TO THE INVESTMENT AGREEMENT.
The
sale
of our common stock to Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. in
accordance with the Investment Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our
shareholders. As a result, our net income per share could decrease in
future periods and the market price of our common stock could
decline.
In
addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put option,
the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to Dutchess Private
Equities Fund, Ltd. in order to drawdown on the Equity Line. If our stock price
decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater
dilution.
The
perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares,
which would contribute to a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover,
the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock
price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock.
By
increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short
selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common
stock.
DUTCHESS
PRIVATE EQUITIES FUND, LTD WILL PAY LESS THAT THE THEN-PREVAILING MARKET PRICE
OF OUR COMMON STOCK WHICH COULD CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO
DECLINE.
Our
common stock to be issued under the Investment
Agreement will be purchased at a six percent (6%) discount
to the lowest closing bid price during the five trading
days immediately following our notice to Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd.
of
our election to exercise our "put" right. Dutchess Private Equities Fund,
Ltd. has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon
receiving the shares to realize the profit between the
discounted price and the market price. If Dutchess Private Equities Fund,
Ltd. sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease. If our
stock price decreases, Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. may have a
further incentive to sell such shares. Accordingly, the discounted
sales price in the Investment Agreement may cause the price of our
common stock to decline.
EXISTING
STOCKHOLDERS MAY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT DILUTION FROM THE SALE OF OUR COMMON
STOCK PURSUANT TO THE INVESTMENT AGREEMENT.
The
sale
of our common stock to Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. in accordance with
the Investment Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As
a
result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods and the market
price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price
is at the time we exercise our put option, the more shares of our common stock
we will have to issue to Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. in order to
drawdown on the Equity Line. If our stock price decreases, then our existing
shareholders would experience greater dilution. At a stock price of $0.25 or
less, we would have to issue approximately 80 million shares in order to
drawdown on the full Equity Line. Accordingly, we may be required to
file one or more registration statements to cover all shares under the Equity
Line.
The
perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares,
which would contribute to a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover,
the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock
price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock.
By
increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short
selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common
stock.
WE
ARE REGISTERING 2,821,692 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK TO BE ISSUED UNDER THE EQUITY
LINE OF CREDIT. THE SALE OF SUCH SHARES COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF
OUR COMMON STOCK.
We
are
registering 2,821,692 shares of common stock under the registration statement
of
which this prospectus forms a part for issuance pursuant to the Equity Line
of
Credit. The sale of these shares into the public market by Dutchess could
depress the market price of our common stock. As of October 1, 2007, there
were 19,233,825 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
THERE
MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TRADING VOLUME IN OUR COMMON STOCK TO PERMIT US TO
GENERATE ADEQUATE FUNDS FROM THE EXERCISE OF OUR PUT.
The
Investment Agreement provides that the dollar value that we will be permitted
to
put to Dutchess will be our choice of either: (A) 200% of the average daily
volume in the US market of the common stock for the ten trading days prior
to
the notice of our put, multiplied by the average of the three daily closing
bid
prices immediately preceding the date of the put, or (B) $250,000.
Based on the formula in the Investment Agreement, however, it is
possible that we would only be permitted to exercise a put for $250,000, as
there may not be sufficient trading volume in our common stock to permit us
to
draw down more than $250,000 per each put. Being unable to draw down
on the full $20,000,000 financing which may not provide adequate funding for
our
planned operations.
NONE
OF THE COMPANY'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, INSIDERS, AFFILIATES OR OTHER RELATED
PARTIES MAY SELL ANY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FOR FIVE TRADING DAYS AFTER A PUT
NOTICE IS DELIVERED AND THEREFORE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL RAISING ACTIVITIES WILL
BE
LIMITED.
None
of
our officers, directors, insiders, affiliates or other related parties may
sell
any shares of common stock for five trading days after a put notice is
delivered. Based on this restriction, our additional capital raising
activities will be limited.
AFTER
THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, WE HAVE AGREED TO MAKE LATE
PAYMENTS TO THE INVESTOR FOR LATE ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES AFTER THE SEVEN DAYS
FOLLOWING DELIVERY OF A PUT NOTICE. WE MUST MAKE ANY PAYMENTS
INCURRED IN IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS UPON DEMAND BY THE INVESTOR. NOTHING
HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE INVESTOR’S RIGHT TO PURSUE ACTUAL DAMAGES FOR OUR
POTENTIAL FAILURE TO ISSUE AND DELIVER THE SECURITIES TO THE INVESTOR, EXCEPT
THAT SUCH LATE PAYMENTS SHALL OFFSET ANY SUCH ACTUAL DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE
INVESTOR.
After
the
effective date of the registration statement, we have agreed to make late
payments to the investor for late issuance of securities after the seven days
following delivery of a put notice. As such, if we are late in the
issuance of securities in accordance with the put notice, we will be subject
to late payments. The following sets forth the exact amount of
the late payment based upon the number of days late and the value of the common
stock.

IF
THE COMPANY FAILS TO DELIVER ANY PORTION OF THE SHARES OF THE PUT TO THE
INVESTOR AND THE INVESTOR’S PURCHASES, IN AN OPEN MARKET TRANSACTION OR
OTHERWISE, SHARES OF COMMON STOCK NECESSARY TO MAKE DELIVERY OF SHARES WHICH
WOULD HAVE BEEN DELIVERED IF THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE SHARES TO BE DELIVERED
TO
THE INVESTOR BY THE COMPANY, THEN WE MUST PAY TO THE INVESTOR, IN ADDITION
TO ANY OTHER AMOUNTS DUE TO INVESTOR PURSUANT TO THE PUT AND A OPEN MARKET
ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT.
If
the
company fails to deliver any portion of the shares of the put to the investor
and the investor’s purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise, shares
of common stock necessary to make delivery of shares which would have been
delivered if the full amount of the shares to be delivered to the investor
by
the company, then we must pay to the investor, in addition to any other amounts
due to investor pursuant to the put and a open market adjustment
amount. The "open market adjustment amount" is the amount equal to
the excess, if any, of (x) the investor total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the open market share purchase minus (y)
the
net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the investor
from
the sale of the put shares due. We must pay the open market
adjustment amount to the investor in immediately available funds within five
(5)
business days of written demand by the investor. By way of
illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the investor purchases
shares of common stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions) of $11,000 to cover an open market purchase with respect to shares
of common stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the open market purchase
adjustment amount which we will be required to pay to the investor will be
$1,000.
OUR
STOCK IS THINLY TRADED, AS A RESULT YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL AT OR NEAR ASK
PRICES OR AT ALL IF YOU NEED TO LIQUIDATE YOUR SHARES.
The
shares of our common stock are thinly-traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, meaning
that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or
near
ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This
situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we
are
a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers,
institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate
or
influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such
persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an
unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase
of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a
consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity
in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer
which
has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support
continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you
any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common
shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be
sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give investors no assurance that
they
will be able to sell their shares at or near ask prices or at all if you need
money or otherwise desire to liquidate their shares.
WE
HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, HAVE NO OPERATIONS OR REVENUES TO DATE AND
BASED ON THIS THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BECOME A SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESS.
We
are a
development stage company with no operations or revenues to date. We intend
to
utilize both design/build and turn-key equipment contracts, operation and
maintenance contactors to operate various components of our first installation
and will assemble a management and operations team familiar with the plant’s
process system. However, our likelihood of success must be considered in light
of all of the risks, expenses and delays inherent in establishing a new
business, including, but not limited to, unforeseen expenses, complications
and
delays, established competitors and other factors. The services of seasoned
contracted operators and experienced key management professionals, is no
assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations.
Since
we
presently do not have any business operations, we will not need financing until
we raise $20M and commence operations of our facility. In the interim, our
present shareholders and management have indicated a willingness to provide
short term financing.
WE
ARE DEPENDENT ON KEY EMPLOYEES, ENGINEERS, CONSULTANTS AND CONTRACTORS AND
THE
LOSE OF ANY OF THEM OR THEIR INABILITY TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT CAN LEAD TO
OUR
DEMISE
Our
success is materially dependent upon the expertise and experience of our
executives and certain consultants.
A
corporate team of highly qualified project managers, engineers, and experienced
executives, familiar with the successful commercialization of leading edge
technologies, has been responsible for our efforts to date. Key management
positions have been identified and we continue to have discussions with
qualified candidates until such time as the entire project capitalization has
been completed. These individuals may leave their current employment upon
completion of our capitalization and may join us as executives. However, there
is no guarantee that the project capitalization will be completed and similarly,
if completed there is no guarantee that we will be able to attract the
appropriate management team in a timely manner.
The
process system technology was designed and is being enhanced by our founder
and
certain engineering consultants. This group includes Peter Vaisler, our
President and CEO; and Resource International Ltd., a Virginia-based engineering
firm that will be responsible for our overall project management, equipment
installation, site engineering, permit approvals, construction surveillance,
system design, sourcing and fabrication, mechanical and structural installation,
and operator training.
The
overall project will be managed by Resource International Ltd. However,
qualified and specialized sub-contractors will be utilized by Resource
International Ltd. for specific tasks. As an example, Resource International
Ltd. will utilize the services of a sub-contractor for heat recovery design,
and
boiler systems fabrication selection and steam/hot water energy systems. The
ultimate engineering group has many years of experience in process engineering
and controls, energy production and waste to energy, manufacturing, and thermal
manufacturing and disposal technology, but could be unsuccessful in completing
the first installation. There is no assurance that their combined expertise
which includes waste disposal, waste handling, incineration, thermal reduction,
electrical generation and carbon black manufacturing will allow the project
to
be completed.
Our
success is also materially dependent upon the experience and expertise of Peter
Vaisler, our President, CEO and a Director, and his ability to attract
executives upon completion of our overall capital financing. There is no
guarantee that this financing will occur. We have entered into a five-year
employment agreement with Mr. Vaisler, which includes non-compete
provisions and requires his full time, attention and devotion toward our
business objectives. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel or
consultants would likely have a material adverse effect on our business. For
a
one-time fee, we have the option to enter into a license agreement with
Mr. Vaisler for the continued use of the technology if and when he ceases
to be employed by us.
IF
WE ARE UNABLE TO PROCURE NEEDED PERMITS, THE PROJECT WILL NOT BE COMPLETED
AND
WE WILL, MOST LIKELY, CEASE OPERATIONS.
Resource
International Ltd. has worked with our founder, Peter Vaisler in order to
develop our technology. Resource International Ltd. will work with us to secure
any permits required in connection with the construction and operation of our
facilities. We believe that any emissions produced by our facilities will be
within EPA standards and therefore do not anticipate difficulty in obtaining
state or local permits and are not aware of any federal environmental permitting
requirements. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to meet all
permitting requirements in our target markets in the United States or in foreign
jurisdictions. In addition, existing EPA guidelines and other environmental
regulations could be revised, making it difficult or impossible for us to meet
the any such new requirements. If we are unable to acquire all necessary
permits, we would be unable to start our business and would be forced to seek
permits elsewhere which could critically delay or cancel the overall project.
This could cause us to cease our operations.
UNIQUE
RISKS OF OUR BUSINESS
IF
WE DO NOT PROCESS WASTE, OUR REVENUES WILL NOT BE SIGNIFICANT AND NEGATIVELY
IMPACT OUR OPERATIONS AND FUTURE EXPANSION
There
may
not be a sufficient volume of waste rubber generated in vicinity of our first
showcase facility, at a site to be determined to make our operations cost
efficient. Furthermore, we may not be able to encourage tire jockeys, truckers
and waste operators servicing these areas to utilize our first facility an
facility as an alternative to trucking the waste to disposal sites positioned
away from urban cities or to out of state disposal sites.
Our
targeted marketing/education program may not be successful in getting those
operators in the disposal chain to be “environmentally responsible” by utilizing
an urban or regionally based point of final disposition instead of trucking
the
waste to another jurisdiction, possibly even out of state. Also, tire and rubber
goods manufacturers may develop products that will not wear out or have an
extended life thereby reducing the volume of rubber waste generated annually
requiring disposal. If any of the above occurs, we will not have sufficient
revenues. This will have a negative impact on our business and can deter our
future expansion.
POSSIBLE
CHANGES IN ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS CAN MAKE IT DIFFICULT AND COSTLY TO COMPLY
WITH AND CAUSE US TO CHANGE OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF
REVENUES
Unforeseen
changes in environmental regulations could make it difficult, or even impossible
for management and their engineering team to amend existing environmental
permits or to reapply for new permits. Changes in Federal or State laws could
make it difficult or impossible to comply with emission, storage, operation
and
transportation regulations. This can result in a change to our business plan
if
we can not obtain certain amendments to permits or such changes cause us to
expend more resources than expected. In addition, this will most likely lead
to
a reduction in revenues.
In
addition, changes in government policies affecting storage, handling and
processing of scrap tires, rubber waste and air quality standards could have
a
material adverse effect on us.
A
CHANGE IN MARKET OR ECONOMIC CONDITIONS CAN RESULT IN LOSING THE MARKET FOR
ELECTRICAL ENERGY THAT WE INTEND TO PRODUCE RESULTING IN A CESSATION OF OUR
BUSINESS
There
may
not be a market for the electrical energy generated as a result of a change
in
market or economic conditions, and implementation of a new form of energy
production technology and/or materials. Also, there may not be a market for
the
by-products we intend to produce, including carbon black, steel and steam and/or
hot water.
Poor
economic conditions and/or high fuel costs could cause disruptions in
transportation and/or labor disputes in a declining or inflationary economy
and
could make it impossible to obtain waste rubber for conversion to fuel oil.
However, an inflationary economy could actually benefit us as increased energy
prices would increase revenues from both electricity and carbon black sales.
The
facility may never be able to acquire a sufficient inventory as a result of
any
or a combination of the aforementioned and result in the cessation of our
business.
SEVERAL
FACTORS COULD RESULT IN OUR FACILITY NOT OPERATING PROPERLY AND LEAD TO OUR
DEMISE
Although
management believes that similar process furnaces are operating at numerous
locations around the world, the oil conversion furnace and all ancillary
equipment normally associated with thermal reactions may not function properly
and neither the fabricator/suppliers nor management or their engineering team
may be able to correct the deficiency. Employees could sabotage the processing
equipment causing a business interruption causing the facility to not make
sufficient product or energy to meet its financial projection. We expect to
enter into a contractual arrangement with a third-party operator for the
production and sale of the electrical energy to be produced. The contract may
never be completed. All of the above factors could result in our
demise.
WE
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP A MARKET FOR OUR PRODUCTS WHICH WILL
CAUSE US TO FAIL TO MEET PROJECTED REVENUES
We
intend
to sell electricity to local utilities. The contracted electrical utility
company responsible for electrical energy generation and sales may not be able
to develop sufficient market share for electrical energy. Similarly, management
and our consultants may not successfully develop a market for carbon black,
scrap steel or other residual products we could generate, and as a result may
not achieve projected revenues.
The
failure to reach certain financial performance levels could negatively impact
our financial viability and could make it difficult for us to expand operations
into additional U.S. urban cities.
IF
WE DO NOT ATTRACT CERTAIN MARKETING, OPERATIONS AND ENGINEERING STAFF, WE WILL
HAVE DIFFICULTY IN MANAGING OUR FIRST FACILITY. THIS CAN RESULT IN A DELAY
OF
STARTING UP THE FACILITY AND/OR A REDUCTION OF REVENUES BASED ON LOWER OUTPUT
RATES
Although
key operations positions are contracted out, we may not be able to attract
marketing, operations, and engineering staff with sufficient acumen and
abilities to successfully manage our first facility. Training deficiencies
could
cause the facility to operate at lower output rates, which would negatively
impact our financial performance. Similarly, the start-up period of the facility
could be extended as a result of fabricators and/or contractors correcting
technical deficiencies. Although delivery and performance guarantees will be
provided by fabricators and/or contractors, a business failure by any of these
entities could delay the start-up of the installation, while financial and
other
guarantees, notices and cure periods are implemented with respect to completing
the installation and start-up of the facility.
THE
FAILURE OF REGULATORY APPROVAL BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES FOR OUR FUTURE SITES
WILL
RESULT IN A DELAY ON REALIZING A RETURN ON OUR INVESTMENT
The
selection of future sites and the development and operation of our installations
are subject to regulatory approval by governmental agencies. While the fact
that
our engineering consultants at Resource International have pre-qualified 12
sites from an environmental approval perspective, each site may be subject
to
local and state regulations concerning storage, processing and handling of
rubber waste including scrap tires and air quality standards. Additionally,
there can be no assurance that we will be able to locate and lease or purchase
a
sufficient number of suitable sites within the expansion area or that
difficulties will not be encountered by us or third parties in their efforts
to
secure necessary approvals which could delay us from realizing a return on
our
investment.
WE
WILL NEED TO RAISE FUNDS TO DEVELOP ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION OF FACILITIES AND
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE WE WILL RAISE SUCH FUNDS
We
will
also be dependent on our ability to raise funds to develop additional
installation through private placements or other sources. We have no plans,
at
this time, to secure solid waste disposal bond funds. There can be no assurance
that in the case of solid waste disposal bond funds that provide tax incentives
to promote the availability of solid waste disposal bonds will continue. The
ability to raise additional funds will be determined by the operational success
of the first installation to be built upon a yet to be determined site. Thus,
there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining
financing.
OTHER
ENERGY COMPANIES AND DISPOSAL COMPANIES WITH MORE EXPERIENCE MAY COMPETE WITH
US
CAUSING A DECREASE IN THE MARKET SHARE
While
we
believe we have no direct competitors, a number of other firms are engaged
in
the production of energy, carbon black and the like. Also, other firms are
engaged in the business of disposal and processing of scrap tires.
Our
likely competitors are: JM Beer Corp., Conrad Industries, and Unisphere
Corporation. If such companies compete with us, this can result in a reduction
of our market share.
OUR
PRINCIPAL OFFICER AND A DIRECTOR HAVE CONTROL OF US
Peter
Vaisler, our President, CEO and Director, and David Williams and Walter Martin,
our directors, in the aggregate own approximately 54% of our issued and
outstanding common stock. Therefore, they control us and can control the
election of our directors and officers.
BROKER-DEALER
REQUIREMENTS MAY AFFECT TRADING AND LIQUIDITY.
Section
15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2
promulgated thereunder by the SEC require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks
to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny
stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document
before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor s account.
Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such
disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be penny
stocks. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve
the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling
any
penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to
(i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial
situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably
determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and
experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock
transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting
forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in
(ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement
from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor s
financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance
with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our common
stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them
in
the market or otherwise.
“PENNY
STOCK” RULES MAY MAKE BUYING OR SELLING OUR COMMON STOCK
DIFFICULT
Trading
in our securities is subject to the “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted
regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that
has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends our securities to
persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to
the
sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and
receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an
exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any
transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the
penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock
market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both
the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations
for
the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker- dealers
by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions
in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity
of
our securities. Broker- dealers who sell penny stocks to certain types of
investors are required to comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning
the transfer of penny stocks. These regulations require broker- dealers
to:
o
|
Make
a suitability determination prior to selling a penny stock to the
purchaser;
|
|
|
o
|
Receive
the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction; and
|
|
|
o
|
Provide
certain written disclosures to the
purchaser.

USE
OF PROCEEDS
The
selling stockholders are selling shares of common stock covered by this
prospectus for their own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from
the resale of these shares. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to
the
registration of the shares for the selling security holders. However, whenever
Dutchess sells shares issued under the equity line we will have received
proceeds when we originally put such shares to the Investor. The proceeds
received from any “Puts” tendered to Dutchess under the Equity Line of Credit
will be used for payment of general corporate and operating
expenses.
SELLING
SECURITY HOLDERS
We
agreed
to register for resale shares of common stock by the selling securityholders
listed below. The selling securityholders may from time to time offer and sell
any or all of their shares that are registered under this prospectus. The
selling securityholders, and any participating broker-dealers are “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
All
expenses incurred with respect to the registration of the common stock will
be
borne by us, but we will not be obligated to pay any underwriting fees,
discounts, commissions or other expenses incurred by the selling securityholders
in connection with the sales of such shares.
The
following table sets forth information with respect to the maximum number of
shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling securityholders
named below and as adjusted to give effect to the sales of the shares offered
hereby. The shares beneficially owned have been determined in accordance with
rules promulgated by the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative
of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. The information in the table
below is current as of the date of this prospectus. All information contained
in
the table below is based upon information provided to us by the selling
securityholders and we have not independently verified this information. The
selling securityholders are not making any representation that any shares
covered by the prospectus will be offered for sale. The selling securityholders
may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all
of
the common stock being registered.
Except
as
indicated below, the selling securityholders have never held any position or
office with us, nor are any of the selling securityholders associates or
affiliates of any of our officers or directors. Except as indicated below,
no
selling stockholder is the beneficial owner of any additional shares of common
stock or other equity securities issued by us or any securities convertible
into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our equity securities. No selling
stockholder is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a
broker-dealer.
For
purposes of this table, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with
SEC rules, and includes voting power and investment power with respect to shares
and shares owned pursuant to warrants exercisable within 60 days. The "Number
of
Shares Beneficially Owned After the Offering” column assumes the sale of all
shares offered.
As
explained below under “Plan of Distribution,” we have agreed with the selling
securityholders to bear certain expenses (other than broker discounts and
commissions, if any) in connection with the registration statement, which
includes this prospectus.

TRANSACTION
WITH DUTCHESS PRIVATE EQUITIES FUND, LP
On
May
29, 2007, we entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Original Agreement”)
with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. (the “Investor”). On July
24, 2007, we amended the Investment Agreement (the “Agreement”) to remove the
provision concerning our right to withdrawal. Pursuant to this
Agreement, the Investor shall commit to purchase up to $20,000,000 of our common
stock over the course of thirty-six (36) months. The amount that we shall be
entitled to request from each purchase (“Puts”) shall be equal to, at our
election, either (i) up to $250,000 or (ii) 200% of the average daily volume
(U.S. market only) of the common stock for the three (3) trading days prior
to
the applicable put notice date, multiplied by the average of the three (3)
daily
closing bid prices immediately preceding the put date. The put date shall be
the
date that the Investor receives a put notice of a draw down by us. The purchase
price shall be set at ninety-four percent (94%) of the lowest closing bid price
of the common stock during the pricing period. The pricing period shall be
the
five (5) consecutive trading days immediately after the put notice date. There
are put restrictions applied on days between the put date and the closing date
(as defined in the Investment Agreement as no more than seven trading days
following the put date) with respect to that particular Put. During
this time, we shall not be entitled to deliver another put notice.
We
understand that a delay in the issuance of Securities beyond the Closing Date
could result in economic damage to the Investor. After the Effective Date,
as
compensation to the Investor for such loss, we have agreed to make late payments
in cash to the Investor for late issuance of Securities (delivery of Securities
after the applicable Closing Date) in accordance with the following schedule
(where "No. of Days Late" is defined as the number of trading days beyond the
Closing Date, with the Amounts being cumulative.):

We
shall
make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds
upon demand by the Investor. Nothing herein shall limit the Investor's right
to
pursue actual damages for our failure to issue and deliver the Securities to
the
Investor, except that such late payments shall offset any such actual damages
incurred by the Investor, and any Open Market Adjustment Amount, as discussed
below.
If,
by
the third business day after seven day period following the delivery of a put
notice, we fail to deliver any portion of the shares of the Put to the Investor
(the "Put Shares Due") and the Investor purchases, in an open market transaction
or otherwise, shares of Common Stock necessary to make delivery of shares which
would have been delivered if the full amount of the shares to be delivered
to
the Investor by us. (the "Open Market Share Purchase") , then we shall pay
to
the Investor in cash, in addition to any other amounts due to Investor pursuant
to the Put, and
not
in
lieu thereof, the Open Market Adjustment Amount (as defined
below).
The
"Open
Market Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x)
the
Investor's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the Open Market Share Purchase minus (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage
commissions, if any) received by the Investor from the sale of the Put Shares
Due. We shall pay the Open Market Adjustment Amount to the Investor
in immediately available funds within five (5) business days of written demand
by the Investor. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the
foregoing, if the Investor purchases shares of Common Stock having a total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover an Open
Market Purchase with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds
of $10,000, the Open Market Purchase Adjustment Amount which we will be required
to pay to the Investor will be $1,000.
In
connection with the Agreement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
with Dutchess (“Registration Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration
Agreement, we are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission covering the shares of common stock underlying the
Agreement within thirty (30) days after the May 29, 2007 execution of the
Original Agreement.
We
agreed
to pay the Investor $15,000 in cash for preparation of the Agreement and the
Registration Agreement.
In
addition, we are obligated to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have
the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90)
days
after the closing date. The Agreement does not impose any penalties on us for
failure to meet either the 30 day or 90 day obligations, however, we shall
endeavor to meet both such deadlines.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
selling securityholders and any of their respective pledges, donees, assignees
and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of
their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility
on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may
be at
fixed or negotiated prices. The selling securityholder 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 resale by the broker-dealer for
its
account;
|
·
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
·
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
·
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling securityholder to sell a specified number
of
such shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
·
|
through
the writing of options on the shares;
|
·
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale; and
|
·
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable
law.
|
The
selling securityholders or any of their respective pledgees, donees, transferees
or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market
makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for
themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation
in
the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling
securityholder and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers
may
act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation
as
to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions.
Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their
own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder
will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market
makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then
market price. The selling securityholders cannot assure that all or any of
the
shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling
securityholders. The selling securityholders and any brokers, dealers or agents,
upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, are
"underwriters" as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and
regulations under such acts.
In
such
event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit
on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Discounts,
concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable
to
the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling
securityholder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that
participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are
imposed on that person under the Securities Act of 1933.
The
selling securityholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security
interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if
they
default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgee or secured
parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under
this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule
424(b)(3) or any other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933
amending the list of selling securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee
or other successors in interest as selling securityholders under this
prospectus.
The
selling securityholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other
circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors
in
interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus
and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus
after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list
of

PETER
VAISLER
has been the President, CEO and Director of Alliance Recovery
Corporation since inception November 2001. On February 11, 2005, he became
our
principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Since 1995,
Mr. Vaisler and a team of third party engineers and scientists have been
working to develop the ARC Unit by integrating existing manufacturing and energy
components into a single process system to thermally reduce waste rubber to
a
fuel oil for use as a feedstock to generate electricity. Using knowledge gleaned
from research and development projects by several U.S. and international groups,
Mr. Vaisler and his team applied existing chemical manufacturing processes
to thermally reduce rubber to fuel oil for energy production. A by-product
of
the ARC thermal reduction of rubber to fuel oil is a commercial grade of carbon
black. Mr. Vaisler and his team also developed and implemented strategies
related to site selection, regulatory affairs, permitting and communications
with a view to refining the business concept to the point that installation
of
the ARC Unit could be accomplished in various U.S. jurisdictions.
Mr. Vaisler managed the engineering team and coordinated design and
fabrication activities addressing technical refinements to the integration
of
“off-the-shelf” system components that will be purchased by Alliance for the
first installation.
From
1979
to 1985, Mr. Vaisler was a senior executive for Topaz Foods Limited based
in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. He was responsible for project management with
a
Canadian food manufacturer coordinating the design, installation, and start-up
of a new manufacturing process, including conveyance and packaging machinery
innovations. As a Project Manager, Mr. Vaisler coordinated the activities
of European based engineers & fabricators, and North American contractors in
connection with the use of fractional evaporators for manufacture of fruit
and
berry concentrates.
From
1986
to 1989, Mr. Vaisler worked for Corporate Planning Consultants based in
London, Ontario, Canada. He assisted in technology based industries and health
care institutions with the commercialization of technological innovations.
As
part of his responsibilities, Mr. Vaisler initiated technical and business
activities pertaining to biomedical waste disposal utilizing “state-of-the-art”
incinerators. His interest in the thermal reduction of rubber waste to fuel
oil
commenced during this period in his career.
In
November 1989, Mr. Vaisler joined Conjoint Export Services. As Director of
International Trade Development for a Canadian and U.S. initiative, he provided
export market management services to primarily technology based manufacturers
seeking both export and import market growth. Mr. Vaisler commenced his
activities pertaining to the development of the ARC Unit in 1994.
Mr. Vaisler obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of
Western Ontario in 1974.
DAVID
WILLIAMS
has been our director since 2004. Mr. Williams has served as
President of his Investment Company, Roxborough Holdings Limited, in Toronto,
since 1995. From 1969 to 1994, he held senior management positions
with Beutel Goodman Company, one of Canada's largest institutional money
managers. He also has extensive Board experience, serving as
Chairman and Director of Roador Industries Inc. He is a Director of
Calvalley Petroleum Inc., Atlantis Systems International, SQI
Diagnostics Inc., Rockies Financial Corporation, Resin Systems Inc., and
Western Copper Holdings. Mr. Williams holds a Bachelors degree in Business
from Bishop's University, Lennoxville, Quebec, and an MBA from Queen's
University, Kingston, Ontario. Mr. Williams is a Director of Bishop's University
Foundation, and is involved with a number of community related projects.
Mr. Williams
currently continues to manage Roxborough Holdings Ltd., a family owned private
equity holding company which is an equity investor in a variety of private
and
public companies.
WALTER
MARTIN
has been our director since 2004. Walter Martin brings more than
two decades of corporate finance experience to the Company. Mr. Martin
began his career with Versatile Investments before moving to Brightside
Financial Corporation. In 1983 as one of three founders of Brightside Financial
Mr. Martin helped built the Company to hold over 160 sales advisors
administering over $1 Billion when it was sold to Assante
Corporation.
Mr. Martin
continued to work for Assante Corporation after its buyout by Brightside until
its full integration. From 1996 to the present, Mr. Martin has worked for
Assante Corp., a financial planning firm based in Canada. He was a Vice
President from 1996-2002, and a consultant from 2002 to the present.
Mr. Martin currently sits as a member on the board of three companies in
the software and mutual fund industries, as well as a charitable company serving
refugees.
Term
of Office
Our
directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual
general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance
with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold
office until removed by the board.
All
officers and directors listed above will remain in office until the next annual
meeting of our stockholders, and until their successors have been duly elected
and qualified. There are no agreements with respect to the election of
Directors. We have not compensated our Directors for service on our Board of
Directors, any committee thereof, or reimbursed for expenses incurred for
attendance at meetings of our Board of Directors and/or any committee of our
Board of Directors. Officers are appointed annually by our Board of Directors
and each Executive Officer serves at the discretion of our Board of Directors.
We do not have any standing committees. Our Board of Directors may in the future
determine to pay Directors’ fees and reimburse Directors for expenses related to
their activities.
None
of
our Officers and/or Directors have filed any bankruptcy petition, been convicted
of or been the subject of any criminal proceedings or the subject of any order,
judgment or decree involving the violation of any state or federal securities
laws within the past five (5) years.
Audit
Committee
We
do not
have a standing audit committee of the Board of Directors. Management has
determined not to establish an audit committee at present because of our limited
resources and limited operating activities do not warrant the formation of
an
audit committee or the expense of doing so. We do not have a financial expert
serving on the Board of Directors or employed as an officer based on
management’s belief that the cost of obtaining the services of a person who
meets the criteria for a financial expert under Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B
is
beyond its limited financial resources and the financial skills of such an
expert are simply not required or necessary for us to maintain effective
internal controls and procedures for financial reporting in light of the limited
scope and simplicity of accounting issues raised in our financial statements
at
this stage of our development.
Certain
Legal Proceedings
No
director, nominee for director, or executive officer has appeared as a party
in
any legal proceeding material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity
during the past five years.
Compliance
With Section 16(A) Of The Exchange Act.
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors, and
persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the
Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are required to
furnish copies to the Company. During 2006, Form 3’s were filed by each officer,
director and 10% or greater shareholder. To the best of the Company’s knowledge,
no other reports are required to be filed. However, the Form 3 filings
undertaken in 2006 do not agree with the Company’s transfer agent records. The
Company is looking into its discrepancy and will make the appropriate filings
upon determining what the discrepancy is.
Code
Of Ethics
The
company has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its Chief Executive Officer
and Principal Financial Officer. The Code of Ethics was filed with our Form
10-KSB for the year ending December 31, 2005 as Exhibit 14 (SEC File No.
333-121659).

ORGANIZATION
WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS
Alliance
Recovery Corporation is a Delaware corporation originally organized as American
Resource Recovery Group Ltd. in 2001. On April 18, 2002, we filed a certificate
of amendment changing our name to Alliance Recovery Corporation. Our operations
are located in Monroe, Michigan.
DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
On
November 6, 2001, we were incorporated in the State of Delaware under the name
American Resource Recovery Group Ltd. On April 18, 2002, we filed a certificate
of amendment changing our name to Alliance Recovery Corporation. On April 22,
2002, we filed another certificate of amendment to increase our authorized
shares to 10,000,000, par value $.01. Finally, on July 7, 2004, we filed a
certificate of amendment increasing our authorized shares to
100,000,000.
We
intend
to implement suitable resource recovery technologies and strategies (the “ARC
Process”) to convert industrial and other waste materials into electrical energy
for sale to specific industrial entities or into local power grids, and to
produce for re-sale by products including carbon black, steel, and steam and/or
hot water. We will be able to undertake this after we raise $20,000,000 and
construct our first facility. We are currently seeking financing and therefore
upon the raising of $20,000,000 we will take 18 months to construct the
facility.
We
believe that management and our third party consulting engineers have identified
a one-step manufacturing process based upon the utilization of existing
manufacturing processes to efficiently convert rubber wastes of all kinds
including scrap tires into fuel oil, for electrical power generation, with
minimal if any negative impact to the environment. We believe this system may
be
patentably distinct. However, the system components are available commonly
from
fabricators and suppliers. The results of our development efforts are now
commercially available.
Investigations
of several existing thermal manufacturing and processing technologies have
contributed to the use of existing manufacturing and chemical processes as
the
basis of the ARC Unit for the production of oils and gases and other commercial
products including carbon black.
United
States Environment Protection Agency studies conducted during 1999-2000 have
confirmed that the fuel oil derived from rubber waste was as good a feedstock
for commercial carbon black production as Exxon oil (Chemical Economic
Handbook).
The
first
ARC facility, when funded, will be operated as our subsidiary and will take
approximately 18 months to construct. Upon construction and installation of
processing equipment, the facility will annually utilize up to 100,000,000
pounds of waste rubber as the feedstock to produce oils and gases for the
production processes and to generate electricity. In terms of passenger tires,
this represents the annual reduction of approximately 4.6 million scrap
tires.
In
2001,
292 million scrap tires were generated in the United States (the source of
this
Information is Chaz Miller of Environmental Industry Associations as reported
by
Wasteage.com on June 1, 2003). Of the 292 million scrap tires, cars contribute
two-thirds of scrap tires, the remainder comes from trucks, heavy equipment,
aircraft, off-road and scrapped vehicles.
The
aforementioned number of scrap tires generated is equivalent to approximately
1
scrap tire for every person living in the U.S. today. In Michigan, Ohio, New
York, Pennsylvania, and the province of Ontario, the population is well over
50
million, and all these major states are connected to Lake Erie. We have
identified suitable sites with port locations in the Great Lakes region to
allow
for the utilization of tug and barge transportation which continues to be the
most inexpensive form of transportation for large volumes of
freight.
We
anticipate that the first facility will produce fuel oil to be used for the
production of electrical energy. The oil generated from the thermal
decomposition of rubber analyzed by various testing facilities is equivalent
to
a fuel oil comprised of 69% kerosene and 26% diesel fuel. Continued commercial
use of both diesel and kerosene is indicative of the overall fuel
quality.
Similarly,
a commercial grade 700 series carbon black is generated as by-product of the
rubber to oil conversion process. This process also captures the steel from
the
rubber for sale as scrap. We believe that there are international and domestic
markets for these products. According to industry sources, global consumption
of
carbon black is approximately 17 billion pounds annually. Carbon black is an
industrial product generated through an energy-intensive process and utilized
among and in the manufacture of rubber, plastics, inks, paints, dyes, lacquers,
fibers, ceramics, enamels, paper, coatings, leather finishes, dry-cell
batteries, electrodes and carbon brushes, and electrical
conductors.
Conventional
carbon black manufacturers need both: a manufacturing feedstock oil for
conversion to carbon black, and natural gas or methane to fuel the production
process. The ARC process also saves global resources by recovering the
hydrocarbon available from the polymeric constituents of the waste rubber,
converting them to feedstock oil and gases. By maintaining carbon black
manufacturing temperatures and process conditions in the ARC Unit furnace,
as
the rubber waste is converted to fuel oil, a 700 series carbon black is
generated as a by-product of the thermal process and is subsequently conveyed,
stored and/or packaged with conventional carbon black manufacturing equipment.
The utilization of existing process technology and chemical reactions with
established manufacturing protocols ensures that ARC management and their
contract operators can leverage specific operations history into positive
performance results.
An
ARC
installation also provides large urban regions with a point of final disposition
for scrap tire and rubber waste without any pollution to the environment and/or
public health risks. Disposal operators will be encouraged to deliver their
rubber waste in the baled ecoblocks which is a much more cost effective method
of transportation as a direct result of the volume reduction occurring in the
baling process. The baling process ARC will utilize to produce ecoblocks for
safe storage and handling, ensures that water cannot collect and create
conditions suitable for mosquito incubation, a matter that continues to be
a
public health concern throughout the United States. Additionally, ecoblock
storage from a fire perspective is considered a much safer alternative than
simple dumping of rubber waste as there is negligible fire hazard associated
with ecoblock storage. Fire Department testings suggest that the bales are
difficult to ignite and once ignited, are easily extinguished.
The
ARC
Process is not classified as a federally regulated source of emissions, because
the environmental emissions are below maximum EPA standards, thus, only state
administrative approval is required for our plant installations. It is intended
that ARC installations will be located near large urban communities which
generate vast amounts of rubber waste. This will allow us to establish a network
of facilities in communities where rubber waste is generated.
Generally,
communities view tires as a public health issue as the tire collects water
in
the hollow donut shape and becomes an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes.
The
most common practice is hauling the rubber waste hundreds of miles for shredding
to turn it into tire derived fuel (TDF), and subsequently transporting the
TDF
to combustion markets. As a result of positioning the ARC facility in the
communities where the waste is generated, the environmental impact associated
with trucking the waste rubber, as well as highway wear and tear are minimized.
The transportation of the waste also consumes diesel fuel, a non-renewable
resource.
A
community based ARC facility is a cost effective and environmentally friendly
alternative to current disposal options. Furthermore, EPA and State initiatives
to encourage States to take responsibility for the waste they generate has
once
again commanded public attention as a result of, for example, Toronto (Canada)
garbage being trucked to Michigan.
Large
urban centers usually require enormous amounts of electrical energy, and via
our
ARC Centers, we will be able to provide another source for electrical energy.
Community-based ARC installations will be positioned to address the growing
need
for reliable energy sources with the added benefit of providing a final point
of
disposition for rubber waste.
The
total
improvement and equipment cost for installation and start-up for first
installation is estimated to be $18,000,000, with the overall capital budget
of
$20,000,000.

The
following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes
is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our financial condition.
The
discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and
notes
thereto appearing in this prospectus. The following discussion and analysis
contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties.
Our
actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and
plans
discussed in these forward- looking statements.
Overview
We
are a
developmental stage company that is in the process of implementing our business
plan to develop a showcase waste to energy facility at a site to be determined.
The first showcase installation will be the cornerstone for both United States
and European expansion. It will thermally convert rubber waste to oil and
subsequently use the oil as fuel for large reciprocating engines driving
alternators making electricity. In addition to the sale of electricity, several
additional valuable bi-products produced in the thermal conversion process
will
also be sold into either domestic or international markets.
Our
business plan is focused on providing large urban centers with community based
processing facilities to address the needs of rubber waste disposal where the
waste is generated. This rubber waste is largely scrap tires. Similarly, large
urban centers also have an increasing requirement for electrical energy for
both
domestic and industrial use. Our processing facilities can be located,
constructed and operated to meet the specific needs of the community in an
environmentally friendly manner.
We
believe that the effective implementation of our business plan will result
in
our position as a provider of community based waste to energy installations
dealing with rubber waste at source while providing reliable electrical energy
to meet base load and/or on peak energy demands.
The
successful implementation of the business plan will also be dependent on our
ability to meet the challenges of developing a management team capable of not
only the construction and operation of the first installation but also marketing
management and the implementation of specific marketing strategies.
These
strategies will include the utilization of specific existing distributors
currently in the business of marketing carbon black. As well, we will be going
to regional disposal operators and collectors to offer our services as a point
of final disposition for their collection and disposal
requirements.
Additionally,
it will be necessary to educate targeted jurisdictions about the environmental
and commercial benefits of an Alliance installation in their
community.
During
the fiscal quarter June 30, 2007, no revenues were generated and we do not
anticipate revenues until such time as the first facility has been constructed
and commercially operated. The construction of the first showcase facility
will
require $20 million. However, currently there are no commitments for capital
and
furthermore, the successful implementation of all aspects of the business plan
is subject to our ability to complete the $20 million capitalization. It is
expected the required funds will be raised as a result of private offerings
of
securities or debt, or other sources.
However,
we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Global Consulting Group, Inc
(“Global Consulting”) on September 9, 2007. The Consulting Agreement
was amended on September 17, 2007 and again on September 27,
2007. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, as amended, Global
Consulting will consult and advise the Company on matters pertaining to
corporate exposure/investor awareness, telephone marketing/advertising
campaigns, business modeling and development and the release of press
releases. More specifically, Global Consulting will contact 3,000
stockbrokers each month to create better awareness of the
Company. The Consulting Agreement, as amended, is for a commitment
period of four months from September 9, 2007, and requires payment from the
Company to Global Consulting on the commencement date of the Consulting
Agreement or shortly thereafter. Payment is defined as the issuance
of 333,334 of shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued to Global
Consulting. To satisfy the terms of the Amended Consulting Agreement, we
issued 333,334 shares of our common stock to Global Consultin on September
27,
2007. The Consulting Agreement, as amended, may be terminated,
without cause, by either the Company or the Consultant with 30 day prior
notice.
The
Consulting Agreement entered into with Global Consulting requires the issuance
of additional shares which will dilute the ownership held by our
shareholders. In particular, pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, as
amended, the Company has issued 333,334 shares of its common stock pursuant
to
Global Consulting, which will further dilute the percentage ownership held
by
the stockholders. On the other hand, however, the Consulting
Agreement entered into with Global Consulting could result in an increase in
our
common stock’s bid price based on improvements to our corporate image,
marketing/advertising campaigns, and general business
development. The Consulting Agreement may also have a positive impact
on our ability to generate revenue, as improvement in general business
development could lead to new revenue generating opportunities.
Should
the required funding not be forthcoming from the aforementioned sources, public
offerings of equity, or securities convertible into equity may be necessary.
In
any event, our investors should assume that any additional funding will cause
substantial dilution to current stockholders. In addition, we may not be able
to
raise additional funds on favorable terms, if at all.
Our
independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. The notes to our financial statements include
an
explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. Among the reasons cited in the notes as raising substantial
doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern are the following: we
are
a development stage company with no operations, a stockholders’ deficiency of
$1,859,564 and cash used in operations from inception through June 30, 2007
of
$1,654,204. As of June 30, 2007, we had a working capital deficiency of
$689,823.
Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to further
implement our business plan, raise additional capital and generate revenues.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern.
Plan
of Operations
Management
has developed forged relations with several corporate finance entities that
have
expressed an interest in participating in our overall expansion in the United
States and Europe. In most cases, as a condition precedent to their
participation, we must be publicly traded or quoted on a recognized stock
exchange such as the OTC Bulletin Board. This occurred on January 26,
2007.
The
efforts of our management team and our consultants and advisors will be to
complete appropriate financing arrangements. The completion of the $20,000,000
financing will be our exclusive effort prior to the construction and development
of the first installation.
Upon
completion of the $20,000,000 capitalization, our next priority will be the
construction of the first installation. For this construction, it will be
necessary for management to initially focus on two specific activities. First,
project management consultants will be engaged to assist us in all matters
associated with identifying and preparing the site. This activity includes
regulatory approvals as well as final design and layout based upon commercial
equipment available for procurement and/or fabrication
In
the
event we are not able to raise $20,000,000 to complete construction of our
first
showcase facility, we will be forced to seek additional financing in order
to
maintain operations over the next 12 months.
In
addition, we will continue to develop our industry contacts, develop our
business plan, refine our technology, search for suitable sites, and devote
efforts to secure the capital required to implement our business
plan.
Second,
our management and consulting engineers will commence activities to enlarge
our
management team by adding key employees as well as consultants that will be
responsible for specific tasks & operations associated with the first
installation.
During
the permitting period, estimated by management and their consulting engineers,
to be 90 to 120 days, our engineering and fabrication team will finalize design
and layouts for the first site as well as prepare and circulate site building
bid documents. Similarly, turnkey contracts will be negotiated for specific
pieces of the thermal processing equipment utilized in the rubber to oil
conversion process. The supply and operation of the electrical generation
equipment will also be contracted out during this period of the development.
We
have already identified and pre-qualified several suppliers of the type of
electrical generation equipment. However, as a result of the preliminary stage
of these discussions, we are unable to provide greater detail as to the exact
nature of the relationship or participation of these suppliers.
Also
at
this time, some preliminary site work will be completed to facilitate the
installation of the design/build structures required. The site will also be
prepared to accept the modularized electrical generation equipment that will
be
installed on the site subsequent to the installation and start-up of the thermal
conversion process. The contracted operator of the electrical generation
equipment will also be responsible for the sale of electricity. During initial
discussions with these supplier/operators, an interest has been expressed in
participating in our overall business. Some discussions pertaining to the
exchange of our shares for all, or part, of the value of the turnkey have
transpired. However, it is unlikely that meaningful discussions will commence
until such time as our capitalization set forth above has been completed. Even
if the capitalization has been completed, there can be no certainty that the
contract operators will participate in the first installation other than on
a
fee for services basis. In any event, until such time as the $20 Million
capitalization has been completed, specific details pertaining to the
participation of supplier/operators will not be available and we are unable
to
provide the details of any possible forthcoming agreements.
Management
and their consulting engineers believe that, the overall fabrication and
installation timeframe is approximately 18 months from execution of contracts.
As all the components utilized in our installation are currently in use in
manufacturing operations in the United States and around the world, lead times
for delivery and installation are generally short.
Several
components are stock items and available for almost immediate delivery. However,
the engineering firm responsible for the overall project management of the
first
installation will monitor all fabricator/suppliers to ensure that the various
components and required ancillary equipment and structures have been readied
onsite for installation. Additionally, engineering verification will be required
for all progress draws prior to our making payments to the various
supplier/fabricators. As is customary with the supply of this type of equipment,
established payment holdbacks upon completion of installation and start-up
will
be released only upon engineering verification of performance. Additionally,
it
may be necessary for selected fabricator/suppliers to provide delivery and
performance bonds specific to their components.
The
entire project could be delayed as a direct result of several factors. Should
we
not be able to a lease or purchase a suitable property within a timely manner,
the project could be delayed indefinitely until such time as an appropriate
site
is secured. Although we have located several suitable sites that could be
appropriately permitted, unforeseen regulatory changes could make it difficult
to obtain the required permits causing further delays thereby causing us to
take
additional time to identify other suitable sites. Should there be delays in
the
delivery of thermal processing or electrical generation equipment as a result
of
material shortages, labor problems, transportation difficulties etc., our
commercial operation would be delayed thereby not allowing us to generate
revenues as anticipated. Should the delay be lengthy, management could be
required to seek additional financing or seek other remedies in law pertaining
to delivery and performance failures of the fabricator suppliers. Regulatory
changes causing delays in the construction, processing equipment installation
and start-up of the showcase facility will lengthen the period of time for
us to
start to generate revenues from operations. We will only be in the position
to
commence a US expansion of processing facilities upon the successful completion,
start-up and operation of the showcase facility.
The
supplier/fabricators will also be responsible for the training of key employees
and/or contractors and will work with the engineering project managers to
include established operating protocols in the systems operations manual. In
conjunction with this effort, during the start-up of the first installation,
fabricator/suppliers and the project management will establish operating set
points incorporating them into the system software thereby ensuring continued
reliable system performance and measurable quality standards.
It
is
management’s and their consulting engineers opinion that overall, the entire
installation through construction completion, training, start-up and commercial
acceptance based upon engineering performance verification is approximately
18
months. The overall development schedule could be delayed as a result of
unforeseen regulatory delays, labor disputes and seasonal delays due to weather
conditions.
Pursuant
to preliminary discussions with corporate finance professionals, items #16
through #18 set forth below are anticipated fees and expenses pertaining to
the
$20,000,000 financing that we will be seeking. The following schedule outlines
the categories associated with the financing, completion, start-up and
commercial operation of the first installation. It is expected that many of
the
following development categories outlined in the following schedule will be
completed concurrently.

During
the construction and installation of the first facility, our future Vice
President of Marketing with assistance from our future Vice President of
Technology will commence a specific and targeted marketing campaign directed
at
the current rubber waste disposal infrastructure, regulatory agencies, retail
associations and the public. Promotional activities will include media, public
awareness, trade journals, seminars and meetings and discussions with waste
hauler and disposal companies. These activities will also include meetings
and
discussions with state regulatory and enforcement officials.
Based
upon discussions with state regulators, it is our belief that all communities
in
the United States and Canada are being encouraged by state, provincial and
federal authorities to be more environmentally responsible. An example of
amplified environmental concern occurring in 2004 was the State of Michigan’s
position pertaining to the continued dumping of waste from out-of-state
communities that included Toronto, Ontario, Canada. State regulations were
implemented in an attempt to curtail the amount and sources of waste being
disposed at Michigan dump sites. It is our belief, that since the early 1990s
the federal EPA has been concerned with the interstate transportation of waste.
The federal position seems to be that communities that generate should be
responsible for the ultimate disposition of the waste within their municipality.
An attempt to limit interstate transportation of waste was contained in the
Interstate Modal Transportation Act which was never approved as originally
proposed.
Community
based environmental initiatives are being encouraged. Dealing with waste at
the
source is considered much more environmentally friendly than trucking the waste
hundreds of miles away. The first installation is perceived as a convenient
and
environmentally friendly solution to rubber waste. The targeted marketing
campaign will exploit the current thinking pertaining to community based waste
reduction and processing and waste to energy initiatives.
However,
there may be difficulties associated with encouraging the existing disposal
and
transportation infrastructure to utilize the Alliance installation as an
alternative to their current method of disposal. Historic relationships between
the existing infrastructure serving retailers and dumps or processors often
hundreds of miles away and the financial commitment to the trucking the waste
may be difficult to overcome. However, management’s discussion with several
haulers has been encouraging as a cost effective alternative to the existing
transportation of waste to often out-of-state locations is a welcomed
alternative.
A
targeted marketing campaign pertaining to the sale of carbon black and scrap
steel will also commence prior to completion of construction. However, we may
not be positioned to enter into carbon black supply contracts until such time
as
samples are made available from the operation of the showcase facility. It
is
likely that these samples would be made available as a result of operation
the
processing equipment during the performance testing phase of the installation
and immediately prior to commercial certification. The commercial certification
will occur after the equipment has operated for a period of approximately 90
days and all contract performance specifications have been achieved. There
may
be delays associated with the correction of deficiencies in order that the
processing equipment meet certain performance standards prior to commercial
certification. However, the Company has included the 90 day start-up phase
within the overall timeline to allow for the correction of deficiencies by
fabricator suppliers. Although the vast majority of the rubber to oil system
is
based upon off-the-shelf components, if further delays occur as a result of
fabricator suppliers correction of deficiencies, we could be delayed in our
ability to generate revenue.
Although,
we have identified several experts currently responsible for the sale of carbon
products currently with other companies and they have expressed an interest
in
the position of VP Marketing, there is no guarantee that their previous
experience will allow them to successfully initiate a campaign that will lead
to
the sale of our carbon black.
However,
the successful operation of the thermal system will generate commercial grades
of carbon black that could be utilized by rubber formulation companies for
specific products. Additionally, our carbon black could be blended with other
sources of carbon black thereby allowing rubber formulators to meet customers
requirements for recycled content. We believe our carbon black will be
advantageous to other forms of recycled content as it will be is a virgin
product made from oil that is a waste rubber derivative.
Furthermore,
the heat recovery system utilized through the entire system will be ready to
deliver hot water and/or steam to a greenhouse operator. Although we have yet
to
complete an agreement with a hydroponics greenhouse operator, preliminary
discussions with several current operators would indicate that the availability
of a reliable discounted heat source for the production of hot water, could
be a
cost effective alternative to their current consumption of non-renewable
resources to fuel boilers to generate the required hot water.
The
ARC
installation is designed to operate continuously. As a result, the installation
has the ability to produce heat constantly to service the hot water requirements
of a hydroponics operator or other commercial uses. The heat produced can be
considered a bi-product from the operation of the thermal conversion and
electrical generation equipment. Rather than utilizing the heat source for
any
particular use, we could use a commercial cooling tower to cool the thermal
processing equipment and could decide not to operate the heat recovery system
components associated with the reciprocating engines responsible for the
generation of electricity. However, management believes that utilizing the
bi-product heat capacity in an environmentally friendly way is a common sense
alternative to exhausting heat into the atmosphere. It is the belief of
management, our consulting engineers and the several of the hydroponics
operators that have discussed our ability to generate heat, that a15 to 20
acre
hydroponics greenhouse could be heated from the heat recovered from the thermal
process heat recovery boiler in combination with the heat available from
standard heat recovery mechanisms that are part of the reciprocating engines
driving the alternators making electricity.
The
type
of relationship discussed is based upon the notion that the hydroponics
greenhouse operator would lease a site immediately adjacent to the showcase
facility. Based upon our final equipment selection, pertaining to both the
thermal conversion of rubber to oil and the generation of electricity, we will
be positioned to provide details as to the amount of steam and/or hot water
that
be generated for conveyance to the greenhouse via an insulated pipeline. A
heat
exchanger will transfer the heat from the ARC steam and/or hot water to the
hot
water in the hydroponics operator’s underground reservoir.
The
ARC
cooled condensate and/or water will be returned to the ARC via the
aforementioned pipeline heated again and once again returned to the greenhouse
in a closed loop system.
Several
methods of compensation for ARC heat sources have been discussed. These include
a percentage of the hydroponics greenhouse gross or not sales and discounted
avoided cost which is the operators cost of natural gas or fuel oil less a
negotiated discount. We will not be positioned to enter into specific
negotiations until such time as the $20,000,000 financing has been
completed.
Going
Concern Consideration
As
reflected in the accompanying June 30, 2007 financial statements, we are in
the
development stage with no operations, a stockholders’ deficiency of $1,859,564,
a working capital deficiency of $689,823 and used cash in operations from
inception of $1,654,204. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and implement our business
plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
We
believe that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and
implement our strategic plans provide the opportunity for us to continue as
a
going concern.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
balance sheet as of June 30, 2007 reflects assets of $29,645 consisting of
cash
of $26,017 and property and equipment of $3,628 and total current liabilities
of
$715,840 consisting of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $56,058, an
amount of $435,197 due to a related party, a note payable of $24,585 with a
net
discount of $415, and a note payable due to a related party of
$200,000.
Cash
and
cash equivalents from inception to date have been sufficient to cover expenses
involved in starting our business. We will require additional funds to continue
to implement and expand our business plan during the next twelve
months.
Our
audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 reflects assets of $36,782
consisting of cash of $32,037 and property and equipment of $4,745 and total
liabilities of $594,954 consisting of accounts payable and accrued expenses
of
$59,262, an amount of $361,851 due to a related party, a note payable of
$150,000, and a note payable due to a related party of $23,841.
Cash
and
cash equivalents from inception to date have been sufficient to cover expenses
involved in starting our business. We will require additional funds to continue
to implement and expand our business plan during the next twelve
months.
Going
Concern Consideration for the year ended December 31,
2006
As
reflected in the accompanying financial statements for the period ended December
31, 2006, we are in the development stage with no operations, a stockholders’
deficiency of $1,642,995, a working capital deficiency of $562,917 and used
cash
in operations from inception of $1,508,384. This raises substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and implement
our business plan.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
if
we are unable to continue as a going concern.
We
believe that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and
implement our strategic plans provide the opportunity for us to continue as
a
going concern.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
financial statements and related public financial information are based on
the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and
subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on
the
assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates
can
also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures
including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition.
We
believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to
GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates
on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to
monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial
statements.
Our
significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial
statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial
condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as
critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the
most significant impact on our financial statements and require management
to
use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from
those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and
circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments
or
estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of
operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this
report.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We
have
no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “
Fair Value
Measurements
”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and
comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair
value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and
does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No.
157
are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results
of operations.
In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No.
159, “
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities -
Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
”. This statement permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items
at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities
that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115
“
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
”
applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities.
SFAS No.
159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning
of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity
also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “
Fair Value
Measurements”.
The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.
DESCRIPTION
OF PROPERTY
We
do not
own or lease any property. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Vaisler uses various
offices including his home office, directors’ offices, and the offices of legal
counsel at no cost to us.
There
are
no limitations pertaining to the use of Mr. Vaisler’s home office. However,
subsequent to the financing for the first facility, an office construction
trailer will be moved to the selected site and the corporate office functions
will be based there until such time as the showcase installation offices are
complete. Upon completion of the showcase facility’s offices, the corporate
offices will be moved into the office area until such time as the facility
is
fully operational.
CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We
have a
consulting agreement with Peter Vaisler. The Consulting Agreement, as amended,
calls for Mr. Vaisler to provide technology that he has developed for us,
along with the use of his know-how and industry contacts to facilitate the
realization of our business objectives. The Consulting Agreement, as amended,
commenced on December 1, 2001 and will expire upon the date on which we raise
all, or substantially all, of the project financing pertaining to the
construction of our first facility. To date, this has not occurred. At such
time, the Employment Agreement, as set forth below, will commence.
We
have a
five-year employment agreement with Peter Vaisler to act as our President
and Chief Executive Officer on a full-time basis. The agreement was originally
to commence on the date on which our SB-2 Registration Statement was declared
effective by the SEC. However, the Employment Agreement was amended to commence
upon on the date on which we raise all, or substantially all, of the project
financing pertaining to the construction of our first facility. The Employment
Agreement will expire five years from such date. The annual base salary is
$250,000 with additional cash compensation as defined in the agreement. He
also
receives an automobile allowance, and we shall use our best efforts to maintain
Director’s and Officer’s liability insurance. We will also provide
contributions
to any self-directed employee benefit plan. While employed by us,
Mr. Vaisler will provide us with certain technology at no cost to us until
the end of the employment term.
In
the
event Mr. Vaisler is no longer employed by us, the technology that he has
provided to us may be used by us for a one time fee equal to the current
replacement value of such technology determined by an engineer’s opinion
acceptable to both parties. We may terminate Mr. Vaisler’s employment
agreement for “cause.” Either party may terminate the employment agreement with
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party.
In
February 2006, our director, Walter Martin, loaned us $100,000. The
loan is interest free for the first nine months and six percent interest for
the
last three months. The unsecured loan was recently amended and is due
June 28, 2008.

MARKET
FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There
was
no established public trading market for our Common Stock during the years
ending December 31, 2006 and 2005. Our Common Stock began trading on the Over
the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC Bulletin Board”), ticker symbol ARVY, on
February 14, 2007. The closing price of the common stock on October 1, 2007
was $.20 per share.
The
market price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in
response to variations in our quarterly operating results, general trends in
the

SHARES
ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE
Future
sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market
could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. Under the
terms of this offering, the shares of common stock offered may be resold without
restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, except
that any shares purchased by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the
Securities Act of 1933, may generally only be sold in compliance with Rule
144
under the Securities Act of 1933.
SALE
OF
RESTRICTED SHARES. Certain shares of our outstanding common stock were issued
and sold by us in private transactions in reliance upon exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and have not been registered
for
resale. Additional shares may be issued pursuant to outstanding options and
warrants we are obligated to issue in connection with our private placement
offering of our Preferred Stock and Warrants.
In
general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a shareholder, including one
of
our affiliates, may sell shares of common stock after at least one year has
elapsed since such shares were acquired from us or our affiliate. The number
of
shares of common stock which may be sold within any three-month period is
limited to the greater of: (i) one percent of our then outstanding common stock,
or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in our common stock during the four
calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale was filed under
Rule 144. Certain other requirements of Rule 144 concerning availability of
public information, manner of sale and notice of sale must also be satisfied.
In
addition, a shareholder who is not our affiliate, who has not been our affiliate
for 90 days prior to the sale, and who has beneficially owned shares acquired
from us or our affiliate for over two years may resell the shares of common
stock without compliance with many of the foregoing requirements under Rule
144.

Consulting

We

consulting agreement, as amended, with Peter Vaisler, who is also our President

Mr. Vaisler to provide technology that he has developed for us, along with
the use of his know-how and industry contacts to facilitate the realization
of
our business objectives. Mr. Vaisler will be paid $250,000 annually for his
consulting services. The consulting agreement, as amended, commenced on December
1, 2001 and will expire upon the date on which we raise all, or substantially

Employment
Agreement
We
have a
five-year employment agreement with Mr. Vaisler to act as our President and
Chief Executive Officer on a full-time basis. The agreement was originally

upon on the date on which we raise all, or substantially all, of the project
financing pertaining to the construction of our first facility. The Employment

the end of the employment term. In the event Mr. Vaisler is no longer
employed by us, the technology that he has provided to us may be used by us
for
a one time fee equal to the current replacement value of such technology
determined by an engineer’s opinion acceptable to both parties. We may terminate
Mr. Vaisler’s employment agreement for “cause.” Either party may terminate
the employment agreement with thirty (30) days prior written notice to the
other
party.
