1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

Garb Oil & Power Corporation (“Garb”) is a fast-growing provider of high-quality equipment to the waste processing and recycling industries.  Garb supplies enabling technologies that allow its clients to push their waste processing and recycling goals forward. Whether the need is for single machines or an entire plant, Garb provides fresh, profitable ideas and comprehensive value-added providing for a high rate of return on investment.

Garb is a corporation incorporated in the State of Utah in 1972 under the name Autumn Day, Inc.  The Company changed its name in 1978 to Energy Corporation International and again in 1981 to Garb-Oil Corporation of America, which marked the start of company’s development stage in the energy and recycling industries. The Company’s development stage activities consisted of raising capital, purchasing property and developing technology related to waste-to-energy electricity production, pyrolysis (extraction of oil, carbon, and steel from used tires), recovery of used rubber from large off-the-road tires and repair and sale of used truck tires.  In 1985 the Company changed its name to Garb Oil & Power Corporation.  Garb exited its development stage June 30, 2004.

Recent Acquisitions

Resource Protection Systems GmbH

On October 19, 2009, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “RPS Agreement”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Resource Protection Systems GmbH (“RPS”), a green-technologies company based in Germany specializing in waste processing and recycling (the “RPS Acquisition”).  We closed the RPS Acquisition on October 27, 2009.  As consideration, the Company paid the shareholders of RPS an aggregate of 27,829,291 shares of the Company’s common stock and options to purchase 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a term of five years and an exercise price equal to one-tenth of the closing ask price for ten trading days prior to the exercise of the option.  The RPS Acquisition is considered to be capital transactions in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the RPS Acquisition is equivalent to the acquisition by RPS of Garb.  Accordingly, the RPS Acquisition was accounted for as a change in capital structure, identical to that of a reverse acquisition. See “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Critical Accounting Policies” and “Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Principles” to our consolidated financial statements.

RPS is a corporation organized under the laws of Germany engaged in the business of recycling and salvage. RPS is the holder of waste processing and recycling technology, know-how and client base that we believe are important to the future success of our business, including processes and procedures to manufacture rubber talc, a fine powder and is used in various products.  We purchased RPS to acquire these assets.  The RPS Acquisition effected the transfer of this technology, know-how and client base from RPS to Garb.  Garb believes its technology portfolio now contains a leading line-up of equipment in the waste processing and recycling industries.

Newview S.L.

On January 15, 2010, RPS acquired 80% of the outstanding equity of Newview S.L., a company organized under the laws of Spain (“Newview”) from Igor Plahuta (the “Newview Acquisition”).  In January 2009, Mr. Plahuta sold 20% of the outstanding equity of Newview to Artech Recyclingtechnik GmbH (“Artech”).  This transfer to Artech is in the process of being unwound and the 20% ownership previously transferred to Artech will be returned to Mr. Plahuta and immediately transferred to Garb.  We anticipate receiving the remaining 20% by year-end 2010.  The total maximum consideration that may be paid to Mr. Plahuta for the Newview Acquisition is €600,000 ($820,000), including cancellation of indebtedness owed by Mr. Plahuta to RPS of €300,000 ($410,000), cash up to €150,000 ($205,000) from the sale of a 47% participation in Sistema Proteccion Recursos, a company organized under the laws of Spain (“SPR”) when RPS consummates such sale and receives payment therefor, and cash up to €150,000 ($205,000) from profits of RPS based on a percent of gross sales of RPS during a certain period.  Mr. Plahuta currently is the Managing Director of Newview.

We purchased Newview to acquire certain patents and other technology we believe help complete our e-waste processing business and processes.  Newview has no material operations.  RPS has been involved in the recycling industry and specifically in the rubber and e-waste industry for over 6 years, providing solutions, technology, machines and consultancy to a variety of customers in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Russia.  This technology has now become integrated into Garb’s sales network in North, Central and South America, complementing the established RPS network in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Russia. Garb plans to further expand its sales network in Asia Pacific in the near future.

On October 19, 2009 we entered an Addendum No. 1 to the RPS Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Garb consented to the Newview Acquisition.

We anticipate the technology acquired in the RPS Acquisition and the Newview Acquisition will become the base for building Garb’s own plants over the next 10 years.

Recent Developments

On March 24, 2010, the Company, along with SRI, Steel Valley Design Inc., LMW Holding Company Inc., Odyssey Environmental LLC, Robert D. Carcelli, Inc., Liberian Holding Corporation, Inc., and Three C’s Distributing, Inc. formed eWaste USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“eWaste”) with the intent of building, owning and managing ten e-scrap (e-waste) plants on the East Coast of the United States totaling $135,000,000.  Garb owns 51% of eWaste and John Rossi is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of eWaste.
 
On March 18, 2010, the Company received and accepted purchase orders to design, install and sell its first e-waste recycling plant to Soil Remediation Inc. (“SRI”) of Lowellville, Ohio for $13,492,000 (the “SRI Plant”). Building of the plant is expected to start by September 20, 2010, with commissioning planned by December 15, 2010.  Proceeds from the sale of the SRI Plant are paid on certain milestones and benchmarks during the life of the project.  Sale of the SRI Plant is subject to the buyer’s timely payment of milestone payments.

On April 10, 2010, the Company received and accepted purchase orders to design, install and sell another e-waste recycling plant to La Stella Maris Inc. of Virginia for $13,492,000 (the “La Stelle Maris Plant”). Building of the La Stella Maris Plant is expected to start by November 30, 2010, with commissioning planned by March 15, 2011.  Proceeds from the sale of the La Stelle Maris Plant are paid on certain milestones and benchmarks during the life of the project.  Sale of the La Stella Maris Plant is subject to the buyer’s timely payment of milestone payments.

Garb Plants and Products

Garb’s family of products includes a wide range of innovative and proven products, systems and peripherals—all designed to be built with precision and to the finest quality. Garb is committed to long-term solutions and this commitment is reflected in every product produced and every service provided. Engineering quality, longevity, strength, reliability, quick return on investment and low cost of ownership is built into every single machine, processing line and complete plant that Garb designs, produces and installs.

Garb and its subsidiaries are striving to be international leaders in their fields and to be recognized as a partner of choice for major waste processing companies worldwide. Garb and its subsidiaries have more than 15 years experience in designing, operating, erecting and commissioning recycle plants, with several large recycling plants delivered in many countries. From scrap metal to e-scrap to tires, there is nothing that Garb’s 60-330KW (440hp) machines cannot shred. All of Garb’s products are designed for high throughput rates, operating with high torque, solid construction and sophisticated protection systems that protect against damage from unwanted materials. Above all, Garb machines are designed for optimal uptime and performance.
 
 
Through Garb’s European subsidiaries, RPS and Newview, we believe Garb has acquired the necessary technology to make Garb the leading company in the world for the attainment of the ClosedCycle™ principal; which is: “Taking a product at the end of its life cycle, disintegrate it in its various components and reutilize each of the components to create another new or similar product, leaving no waste.”  Garb believes that in order to satisfy the high demands placed on world resources it is necessary to continue to invest in research and development, primarily concentrating on transforming waste products into reusable raw materials. Garb’s machine and factory engineering expertise in refining and product finishing allows it to develop into new market areas and provide high value-added products in Fine Rubber Powder, Thermoplastics Elastomers, E-waste derivable products, gas, electricity, retreads, new tires, car recycling and precious metals.

Our Industry

The industry in which Garb is operating is still in its maturing stages. Technological developments, the economic climate and the growing global awareness of waste as a possible raw material resource, are beginning to change the recycling industry, placing demands on the industry for new products and for new solutions that apply the ClosedCycle principal. It is Garb’s belief that with the increasing maturation of the industry Garb’s role will grow. With its knowledge of solutions, its comprehensive product portfolio, its experience and, above all, with people who understand the industry, Garb will translate its clients’ needs and its own requirements into profitable solutions that will provide the Company with a competitive advantage in the market.

Our Markets

Waste-to-Energy: Waste-to-energy is considered a renewable resource because its fuel source, garbage, is sustainable and non-depletable. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, waste-to-energy is a “clean, reliable, renewable source of energy.” In addition, fifteen U.S. states all recognize waste-to-energy power as renewable.

Americans generated about 250 million tons of trash suitable for the production of waste-to-energy. A single Garb waste-to-energy plant will consume more than 900 tons of trash each day helping to solve this ever-growing waste problem while generating much-needed clean energy.

Municipal waste consists of products that are combusted directly to produce heat and/or power and comprises waste produced by the residential, commercial and public services sectors that are collected by local authorities for disposal in a central location.

The technology and processes in a Garb waste-to-energy plant turns garbage into energy using materials that range in size from the size of a pea to the size of a tree limb. The fuel can be wet or dry, and it varies greatly in energy content.

E-Waste: There are wide variations in the energy used to recover metals from the earth’s crust. For example, copper and other precious metals ranks near the middle for energy required for extraction; this is higher than iron, zinc or lead, but is at considerable advantage to aluminum, titanium and magnesium, which require much larger quantities of energy to break down the ore into metallic form.

For all metals, the recycling of scrap is considerably more energy and cost efficient than extraction from ores, and these precious metals have a high recycling rate—higher than other ores like iron, zinc or lead. E-waste is the material of choice when recovering high-value precious metals from consumer goods.

Copper, gold and palladium’s recycle value is so great that premium-grade scrap normally has at least 95% of the value of primary metal from newly mined ore. The inescapable conclusion is that precious metals will continue their life of usefulness many times over into the future through our new generation recycling and processing technology.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Americans generate 3.5 million tons of e-waste a year and currently only 15% of which is recycled. Considering the high value of the many resources derived from e-waste refinement and recycling, this market has just begun to be tapped.

Rubber Waste: Over 11,000,000 million tons of old rubber, of which 6,000,000 tons are old rubber tires, have been accumulating in America every year. Producing one pound of recycled rubber versus one pound of new rubber requires only 29% of the energy. Rubber cannot be re-melted and so other methods are necessary to reduce or use the mountains of old tires that have accumulated over the years.

The technology necessary to reduce and crumb tires is well developed. Large quantities of rubber granulate and powders are currently available on the American and European markets.

Up to now, only inadequate use has been made to exploit the specific characteristics of the recycled rubber powder when making rubber products. The Garb technology and patented knowhow has developed a new material, called NanoRubber™. This super fine powder can be blended with natural rubber and used in many industries including retreading or tires.

We at Garb have a clear distinction between Crumb Production and Powder Production, which gives us two opportunities. Firstly to install pure powder lines behind existing high quality crumb production lines, secondly this provides a high demand for technical rubber in the technical rubber industry. For example, the waste from seal production is between 10%-15% on average, this means that the 10%-15% of raw rubber that is wasted can be directly transformed to powder and returned to the master batch supplier to be compounded.

Patents, Trademarks and Proprietary Data
 
The Company has received one United States patent on the OTR Tire Disintegrator System design (patent number 6,015,105). The patent expires in 2018. One patent has been issued to Garb in Canada that expires in 2015. Additional patents are pending in the United States and Canada.

The Company does not hold patents on the plant and process to be used in connection with its proposed electricity, co-generation plants or nuclear remediation.

In addition to the above patents, the Company has the following patents, which relate to Tar Sand development:
 
Hydropulper & Classifier for Tar Sand Application
Patent No. 3,814,336
Improvement Patents for Tar Sands
Patent No. 4,361,476
 
Process
 
The Company plans to exploit these patents if and when the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) determines that the financing and timing is appropriate. It is not expected that such exploitation will occur in the foreseeable future and accordingly the patents have not been considered important to the Company’s immediate future.

Employees
 
The Company’s President and CEO, John Rossi, its Executive Vice President, Matthew G. Shepard, Chief Technical Officer, Igor Plahuta, and Chief Operations Officer, Alan Fleming each devote 40 hours, or more, per week to the Company’s business, as well as one additional engineer. All additional work is performed on a sub-contract basis.
 
Additional personnel will be required when the Company expands its business or enters into agreements for construction of waste-to-energy plants, waste-rubber plants or e-scrap plants. The Company does not anticipate problems in finding suitable additional personnel.
 
The Company believes its relationship with its employees to be good.
 
The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.
 
Research and Development
 
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has not expended any funds on research and development activities. Garb plans to grow its R&D budget to 8% of its revenue by 2015.
 
Environmental Regulation
 
Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries believe that any of its activities result in harmful discharge of pollutants in the air, water or soil.

Any power plants built by the Company in the future utilizing tires as fuel will be required to comply with state and federal regulations regarding the discharge of pollutants into the atmosphere. The Company believes that the plants can comply with such regulations without material impact on the Company.

1A.  RISK FACTORS.

History of net losses.

We have a history of incurring losses. We may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability and we may continue to incur significant losses in the future. In addition, we expect to continue to increase operating expenses as we implement initiatives to continue to grow our business. If our revenues do not increase to offset these expected increases in costs and operating expenses, we will not be profitable. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
 
5

 
 

 


Current economic downturn.
 
The current economic downturn and uncertainty in the financial markets in the United States and internationally may adversely affect our business and our financial results. If economies in the United States and internationally remain unstable or weaken, or if businesses or consumers perceive that these economic conditions may continue or weaken, we may experience declines in the sales. As a result, we cannot predict what impact the current economic downturn and uncertainty of the financial markets will have on our business, but expect that such events may have an adverse effect on our business and our financial results in the current quarter and future periods.

Reliance on our key employees.
 
Our success and future growth depends to a significant degree on the skills and continued services of our management team. Our future success also depends on our ability to attract and retain and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing and customer service personnel, including members of our management team. Our employees work for us on an at-will basis, however, the laws of some of the international jurisdictions where we may have employees in the future may require us to make statutory severance payments in the event of termination of employment. We plan to hire additional personnel in all areas of our business, both domestically and internationally. We may be unable to successfully attract or retain qualified personnel. Our inability to retain and attract the necessary personnel could adversely affect our business.

Changes in financial accounting standards.
 
A change in accounting standards or practices can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred and are likely to occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business.

Conflicts of interest between our management and the Company.

Conflicts of interest create the risk that management may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of the Company. A conflict of interest may arise between the Company’s management’s personal pecuniary interest and their fiduciary duty to our stockholders.

Limited internal controls.

We currently have five directors and four of these directors are also officers of the company, so we rely on computer and manual systems without independent officers and employees to implement full, formal, internal control systems. Accordingly, we do not have separate personnel that provide dual signatures on checks, separate accounts receivable and cash receipts, accounts payable and check writing, or other functions that frequently are divided among several individuals as a method of reducing the likelihood of improper activity. This reliance on a few individuals and the lack of comprehensive internal control systems may impair our ability to detect and prevent internal waste and fraud.

Inadequate disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company does not have adequate personnel to review of day-to-day financial transactions, review of financial statement disclosures, or record, process, summarize and report within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms for the period covered by this Report on Form 10-K. To remediate the control deficiencies, one of several specific additional steps is that the Company plan to undertake to employ a fulltime CFO to implement adequate systems of accounting and financial statement disclosure controls to comply with the requirements of the SEC and implement internal processes and controls for all day-to-day financial transactions.  Our efforts to comply with disclosure controls and procedures are likely to continue to result in increased expenses and the commitment of significant financial and personnel resources.  We can give no assurance that in the future such efforts will be successful.
 
6

 
 

 

Need for additional capital.
 
We will need additional funds to cover expenditures in the completion, publications and marketing of our products. We will fund any additional amounts required for such expenditures through additional debt or equity financing, which may dilute the economic interest of existing stockholders, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Our Board can approve the sale of additional equity securities from our authorized share capital without stockholder consent.

Inability to obtain additional financing.
 
There can be no assurance that any proceeds we receive from additional debt or equity financing will satisfy our capital needs. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed on terms favorable to us or at all. The unavailability of adequate financing on acceptable terms could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and on our continued operation.

Control of Company by officers and directors.
 
As of December 31, 2009, John Rossi, Igor Plahuta, Bill Anderson and Matthew Shepard and John Brewer collectively owned 80.37% of all issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.  Accordingly, by virtue of their ownership of shares, the stockholders referred to above acting together may effectively have the ability to influence significant corporate actions, even if other shareholders oppose them. Such actions include the election of our directors and the approval or disapproval of fundamental corporate transactions, including mergers, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, liquidation, and the adoption or amendment of provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws. Such actions could delay or prevent a change in our control. See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

Importance of predicting market preferences and accurately target buyers.

The waste-to-energy, e-waste recycling and rubber-waste recycling industries have only, until recently, been minor industries in the United States.  Over the past year there has been a steady increase in interest in these technologies and Federal and local governments have also given greater emphasis on these technologies.  Because of this, there are several major companies currently positioning themselves to capture market share in these emerging industries.  Although we believe Garb’s technologies are among the best in these industries, if we fail to predict market preferences, accurately target buyers, and properly market our technologies then sales will suffer.  Furthermore, the successful development of new technologies and products will require us to anticipate the needs and preferences of the market and forecast market trends accurately. Consumer preferences tend to follow technological advances, which advances may also come from competitors. The development of products and application for these products requires high levels of innovation and a great understanding of industry and governmental standards and engineering practices.  This process can be lengthy and costly. To remain competitive, we must continue to develop enhancements of our existing character base successfully. We cannot assure you that future products will be introduced or, if introduced, will be successful. The failure to enhance and extend our existing products or to develop and introduce products that achieve and sustain market acceptance and produce acceptable margins would harm our business and operating results.

Infringement of third party intellectual property rights.

In the course of our business, we may periodically receive claims of infringement or otherwise become aware of potentially relevant copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights held by other parties. Upon receipt of this type of communication, we will evaluate the validity and applicability of allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights to determine whether we must negotiate licenses or cross-licenses to incorporate or use the proprietary copyrights or trademarks or other proprietary matters in or on our products. Any dispute or litigation regarding copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights, regardless of its outcome, may be costly and time-consuming, and may divert our management and key personnel from our business operations. If we, our potential distributors or our manufacturers are adjudged to be infringing the intellectual property rights of any third party, we or they may be required to obtain a license to use those rights, which may not be obtainable on reasonable terms, if at all. And, we may incur costs in revising certain products so as to not infringe on others rights. We also may be subject to significant damages or injunctions against the development and sale of some or all of our products or against the use of a trademark in the sale of some or all of our products. We do not have insurance to cover any such claim of this type and may not have sufficient resources to defend an infringement action.

Affect of officer and director indemnification.

The officers and directors of the Company are entitled to certain indemnification protections under Utah law.  If our directors or officers become exposed to liabilities triggering those indemnification obligations, we could be exposed to unreimbursable costs, including legal fees. Extended or protracted litigation subject to indemnification could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow.

Volatile stock price.

The market price of our common stock will likely fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control.  These factors include, but are not limited to, variations in our quarterly operating results; changes in financial estimates of our revenues and operating results by securities analysts; changes in market valuations; announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; additions or departures of key personnel; future sales of our common stock; stock market price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our stock; commencement of or involvement in litigation.

Authorization of Preferred Stock.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 152,200,001 shares of preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges senior in many respects to the Company’s common stock. Our Board is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with liquidation, conversion, voting, anti-dilution or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power, economic interests or other rights of the holders of the common stock. The preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

Audit compliance costs.

An immediate and specific risk relates to the our ability to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act the failure of which could lead to loss of investor confidence in our reported financial information. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we will be required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, then our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly. In order to achieve compliance with Section 404 of the Act, we will need to engage in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which will be both costly and challenging. In this regard, management will need to dedicate internal resources, engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan.

Dividends
 
No cash dividends have been paid by the Company in the past, and dividends are not contemplated in the foreseeable future. Utah law currently prohibits the payment of dividends since the Company’s liabilities exceed its assets. Dividends will be dependent directly upon the earnings of the Company, financial needs, and other similar unpredictable factors. For the foreseeable future, it is anticipated that any earnings that may be generated from the operations of the Company will be used to finance the operations of the Company and dividends will not be declared for shareholders. The Company is not subject to any contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends.
 
Compensation Plans

The Company has no equity compensation plans under which equity securities of the Company are authorized for issuance.

7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Part II. Item 8 of this Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, as set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in the following discussion and in Part I. Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to a year reflect our fiscal year that ended on December 31, 2009.

Management of the Company is pursuing avenues of generating cash or revenues during the next twelve months. The Company is pursuing sales of its waste-to-energy, waste-rubber and e-scrap plants on which the Company would earn a commission. The Company is also attempting to interest purchasers, or potential purchasers, of Garb shredders and plants in establishing joint ventures. The Company also continues to pursue financing to build, commission and operate its own waste refinement and recycling plants. Management also believes that with the new line-up of next-regeneration machines, industry expertise, website and marketing strategies that are now implemented, the potential for machinery and plant sales has increased.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain cash flow from operations or to obtain additional financing. If these are not available to the Company, the Company may not be able to continue operations. While management remains hopeful that one or more transactions will proceed, no assurances can be expressed as to the Company’s continuing viability in the absence of revenues. Current funding has come from operations and sales and the Company is currently in negotiations with several investment sources for equity investment in the Company, which if successful, will satisfy long-term operations and capital expenditures. There are no guarantees that such negotiations will be successful.

Operating expenses for the Company have been paid in part from short-term unsecured notes from shareholders. At December 31, 2009 the Company had a deficit in working capital (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $5,363,689. The working capital deficit at December 31, 2008 was $154,774. The decrease in working capital was caused by the continued accrual of salary, interest and other accounts payable for expenses, which the Company was unable to pay in cash, and the RPS Acquisition.

Other than its short-term office leases and loans payable to affiliates and non-related parties, the Company and its subsidiaries are not subject to any material commitments or capital expenditures.

When shredding machines are sold the company requires that 50% of the total selling price be deposited with the Company as protection against cancellation of the sales contract. The Company has access to these funds and uses them to cover part of the manufacturing costs of the shredder. The Company is also required to give a deposit to the manufacturer of the shredder, at the time the Company contracts with the manufacturer to build a machine. When the machine is finished and delivered to the buyer, it is completed and tested prior to delivery. At the time of shipment the buyer is required to pay the balance due on the sales contract. Because of the successful history of the Company’s machine performance, the deposit requirement has not presented a problem in sales. For one year the buyer has a warranty to cover performance of the machine.

During the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company received revenue from sales of $45,330 and $305,826, respectively.

The Company derived a loss from operations before other income (expense) during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 of $503,840 and $197,914, respectively. Total expenses for 2009 were $549,170 compared to $346,015 in 2008. Salaries, wages, commissions and consulting fees were $423,542 in 2009 compared to $177,096 in 2008. Rental expenses were $4,500 in 2009 and $0 in 2008. Total expenses increased primarily because of increases in salaries and wages. If more of the Company’s plans for revenue producing activities come to fruition, expenses will rise accordingly.

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on the Company net sales, revenues or on income from continuing operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2009, we had $0 in cash and total liabilities of $5,990,707.  Additionally, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by over $5,000,000, we have incurred substantial losses in this and prior fiscal years, and we have recorded negative cash flows from operations in this and prior fiscal years.  Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $613,568 compared to a net loss of $175,377 in 2008. On a per share basis, the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $0.02 compared to net loss of $0.01 in 2008.  Operating losses are expected to continue until such time, if ever, as the Company receives sufficient revenues from the sale of shredders, plants, or other operations. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The ongoing losses have created substantial pressure on the Company’s liquidity and our management cannot provide any assurance that the Company’s current finances will enable us to implement our plans and satisfy our estimated financial needs over the next 12 months.  We are actively seeking additional sources of financing to fund our operations for the foreseeable future.
 
On January 28, 2010, the Company issued 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to LeRoy Jackson for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000 in an unregistered sale of securities.

On March 11, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Company borrowed $50,000 by issuing an unregistered convertible debenture note to Asher Enterprises, Inc. (the “Asher Note”).  The Asher Note is due September 11, 2010, carries an interest rate of 8% per annum and is convertible into shares of common stock during the loan period at a “Variable Conversion Price.”

On March 18, 2010, the Company received and accepted purchase orders to design, install and sell the SRI Plant for $13,492,000. Building of the plant is expected to start by September 20, 2010, with commissioning planned by December 15, 2010.  Proceeds from the sale of the SRI Plant are paid on certain milestones and benchmarks during the life of the project.  Sale of the SRI Plant is subject to the buyer’s timely payment of milestone payments.

On April 10, 2010, the Company received and accepted purchase orders to design, install and sell the La Stelle Maris Plant for $13,492,000. Building of the La Stella Maris Plant is expected to start by November 30, 2010, with commissioning planned by March 15, 2011.  Proceeds from the sale of the La Stelle Maris Plant are paid on certain milestones and benchmarks during the life of the project.  Sale of the La Stelle Maris Plant is subject to the buyer’s timely payment of milestone payments.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company had no change in cash. The primary sources of cash were from additional loans from financing activities.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s Net Cash Provided (Used) in Operating Activities was $(114,388) compared to $105,935 for the comparable period in 2008.  The decrease in Net Cash Used in Operating Activities between the two periods resulted from an increase in net losses, a decrease in intercompany accounts receivables and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities was $21,470 compared to $0 for the comparable period in 2008.  The increase in Net Cash Used in Investing Activities between the two periods resulted from an increase in proceeds from sale of property and equipment.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, Net Cash Provided (Used) by Financing Activities was $92,918 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $(147,765) for the comparable period in 2008.  The increase in Net Cash Provided (Used) by Financing Activities was due to a decrease in proceeds from notes payable - related party, an increase in payments on notes payable - related party, and an increase in proceeds from issuance of stock.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Organization. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiary, RPS which was acquired on October 27, 2009 in an exchange of stock, and another wholly-owned subsidiary, Rialto Power Corporation (which was dissolved by the State of California), and its 55% owned subsidiary, Utah Truck Tire, Inc. (also dissolved), which are collectively referred to as the Company.  We acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of RPS, a company engaged in the business of recycling and salvage. We purchased the shares from John Rossi and Igor Plahuta. Each owned 12,500 shares of common stock of RPS and the 25,000 shares constituted all of RPS's issued and outstanding shares. There are no relationships other than those related to the transaction between Mr. Rossi and Mr. Plahuta and the Company or any of its affiliates, directors, and officers. To acquire the 25,000 shares the Company issued a total of 27,829,291 shares of its common stock, and granted common stock options to acquire 100,000,000 shares of common stock for a term of five years at a price(s) to be determined based on one-tenth of the closing ask price for ten trading days prior to the exercise of the option. The terms resulted from negotiations between the Company and Mr. Rossi and Mr. Plahuta.

Subsequent to the RPS Acquisition, RPS became a wholly owned subsidiary of Garb.  Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition by Garb of RPS is considered to be capital transactions in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the Acquisition is equivalent to the acquisition by RPS of Garb. As the Acquisition was a capital transaction, and not a business combination, there is no assigned goodwill or other intangible asset resulting from the Acquisition. This transaction is reflected as a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure.  Accordingly, the accounting for the Acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Under reverse acquisition accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of Garb, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, RPS.  The accompanying financial statements reflect the recapitalization of the stockholders’ equity as if the transactions occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented.  Thus, the 27,829,291 shares of common stock issued to the former RPS stockholders are deemed to be outstanding for all periods reported prior to the date of the reverse acquisition.

The company has recorded the granting of the 100,000,000 stock options as the $3,150,000 liability on the balance sheet labeled common stock options payable, because the options do not become effective or exercisable until the authorized capital of the Company is increased to not less than 220,000,000 shares of common stock.

Prior to the Acquisition our fiscal year end was June 30th, but our fiscal year end has subsequently been changed to December 31st.

Basis of Presentation - Going Concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  As shown in the consolidated financial statements, during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has incurred a net loss of $613,568 and $175,377, respectively, and as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $840,172.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that the Company can continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain successful operations. Management is continuing its efforts to obtain the necessary financing as may be required to generate sufficient cash flows for future operations. Management is pursuing avenues of generating cash or revenues during the next twelve months. The Company is pursuing sales of its waste-to-energy, waste-rubber and e-scrap plants on which the Company would earn a commission. The Company is also attempting to interest purchasers, or potential purchasers of Garb shredders and plants, in establishing joint ventures. The Company also continues to pursue financing to build, commission and operate its own waste refinement and recycling plants. Management also believes that with the new line-up of next-generation machines, industry expertise, website and marketing strategies that are now implemented, the potential for machinery and plant sales has increased. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain cash flow from operations or to obtain additional financing. If these are not available to the Company, the Company may not be able to continue operations. While management remains hopeful that one or more transactions will proceed, no assurances can be expressed as to the Company’s continuing viability in the absence of revenues. Current funding has come from operations and sales and the Company is currently in negotiations with several investment sources for equity investment in the company, which if successful, will satisfy long-term operations and capital expenditures.  There are no guarantees that such negotiations will be successful.

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Garb and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when the sales amount is determined, shipment of goods to the customer has occurred, and collection is reasonably assured. In the past the Company has engaged in consulting activities but currently has no consulting contracts, revenue from these activities or expectation for such in the foreseeable future.

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks. The Company maintains cash in federally insured bank accounts.  At times these amounts exceed insured limits.  The Company does not anticipate any losses from these deposits. The Company had one and two customers whose sales were greater than 10% for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Sales to the Company’s one customer whose sales were greater than 10% for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled 86% of total revenues in 2009. Sales to the Company’s two customers whose sales were greater than 10% for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled 51% and 34% of total revenues in 2008.The company’s December 31, 2009 accounts receivable was due entirely from one customer.  The company’s December 31, 2008 accounts receivable was due entirely from two customers with one customer representing 56% of the accounts receivable balance and the other representing 44% of the balance. The loss of any of these significant customers would have a temporary adverse effect on the Company’s revenues, which would continue until the Company located new customers to replace them.

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective October 15, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) new Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative accounting guidance under the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Topic. The ASC does not create new accounting and reporting guidance, rather it reorganizes U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 topics within a consistent structure. All guidance in the ASC carries an equal level of authority. Relevant portions of authoritative content, issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for SEC reporting entities, have been included in the ASC. After the effective date of the Codification, all non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC was superseded and deemed non-authoritative. Adoption of the Codification also changed how the U.S. GAAP is referenced in financial statements.
 
13

 
 

 


Effective June 15, 2009, the Company adopted new guidance to the Subsequent Events - ASC Topic 855. The Subsequent Events Topic establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, the Subsequent Events Topic sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of an SEC reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date of its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. Entities are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the date the financial statements were issued or available to be issued. Adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the financial statements presented.

In its 2009 financial statements, the Company adopted new guidance to the “Business Combinations Topic” of the FASB ASC Topic 805, which was originally effective for fiscal years ending after November 1, 2008. This guidance establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the financial statements presented.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under the “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic” of the ASC. This topic relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. This additional guidance requires the entity to (i) evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability when compared with normal market activity, (ii) consider whether the preceding indicates that transactions or quoted prices are not determinative of fair value and, if so, whether a significant adjustment thereof is necessary to estimate fair value, and (iii) ignore the intent to hold the asset or liability when estimating fair value. This additional guidance also provides guidance in determining whether a transaction is orderly (or not orderly) when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, based on the weight of available evidence. The Company adopted this additional guidance in its 2009 financial statements. The adoption of this additional guidance did not have any impact on the financial statements presented.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under the “Financial Instruments Topic” of the ASC. This topic requires disclosure of the carrying amount and the fair value of all financial instruments for interim and annual financial statements of SEC-reporting entities (even if the financial instrument is not recognized in the balance sheet), including the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair values and any changes in such methods and assumptions. This topic also requires disclosures in summarized financial information in interim financial statements. The Company adopted this additional guidance in its 2009 financial statements. The adoption of this additional guidance did not have any impact on the financial statements presented.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under the “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities Topic” of the ASC. This topic requires the entity to consider (i) whether the entire amortized cost basis of the security will be recovered (based on the present value of expected cash flows), and (ii) its intent to sell the security. Based on the factors described in the preceding sentence, this topic also explains the process for determining the other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) to be recognized in “other comprehensive income” (generally, the impairment charge for other than a credit loss) and in earnings. This topic does not change existing recognition or measurement guidance related to OTTI of equity securities.

Certain transition rules apply to debt securities held at the beginning of the interim period of adoption when an OTTI was previously recognized. The Company adopted this additional guidance in its 2009 financial statements. The adoption of this additional guidance did not have any impact on the financial statements presented.

In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance as codified in ASC 810-10, Consolidation — Non-controlling Interests (previously SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — Amendments of ARB No. 51). ASC 810-10 states that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. ASC 810-10 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which for the Company is its fiscal ending December 31, 2009.

In March 2008, the FASB issued guidance as codified in ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging (previously SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133). ASC 815-10 requires entities with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why the entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under ASC 815-10 and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash. ASC 815-10 was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, which includes its financial statements for the 2009 fiscal year.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging,” that provides guidance on how to determine if certain instruments (or embedded features) are considered indexed to a company’s own stock, including instruments similar to warrants to purchase the company’s stock. FASB ASC 815-40 requires companies to use a two-step approach to evaluate an instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and settlement provisions in determining whether the instrument is considered to be indexed to its own stock and therefore exempt from the application of FASB ASC 815. Although FASB ASC 815-40 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, any outstanding instrument at the date of adoption will require a retrospective application of the accounting through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. This pronouncement had no effect upon the Company’s 2009 financial statements.

The FASB recently amended its guidance surrounding an entity’s analysis to determine whether any of its variable interests constitute controlling financial interests in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The amended guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amended guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company will re-evaluate any interests in variable interest entities for the period beginning on January 1, 2010 to determine that the entities are reflected properly in the financial statements as investments or consolidated entities. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on either its financial position or results of operations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Garb Oil & Power Corporation and Subsidiaries
Salt Lake City, Utah

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Garb Oil & Power Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the two years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Garb Oil & Power Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the two years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of Garb Oil & Power Corporation and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s continual net losses and large accumulated deficit, among other issues, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GARB OIL & POWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

a.  Organization

Garb Oil & Power Corporation (“Garb”) was originally incorporated under the name Autumn Day Inc. on October 30, 1972. On January 13, 1981 the company’s name was changed to Garb-Oil Corporation of America, which marked the start of company’s development stage in the energy and recycling industries. Development stage activities consisted of raising capital, purchasing property and developing technology related to waste-to-energy electricity production, pyrolysis (extraction of oil, carbon, and steel from used tires), the recovery of used rubber from large off-the-road tires and the repair and sale of used truck tires. The company’s name was changed to its current name of Garb Oil & Power Corporation on October 4, 1985. Garb had been considered to be in the development stage until June 30, 2004.

On October 27, 2009, the company entered a reverse-acquisition transaction with German-based Green-technologies company Resource Protection Systems GmbH (the “RPS Acquisition”). The reverse-acquisition brought to Garb a large portfolio of technologies in the areas of waste-to-energy, electronic waste (e-scrap/e-waste) refinement and recycling, and waste-rubber refinement and recycling. Garb is currently engaged in the sale of refining and recycling machines and the building and commissioning of turnkey waste-to-energy plants and refinement/recycling plants in e-scrap/e-waste and waste-rubber.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Garb and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Resource Protection Systems GmbH (“RPS”) which was acquired on October 27, 2009 in an exchange of stock, and another wholly-owned subsidiary, Rialto Power Corporation (which has been suspended by the State of California for failure to renew), and its 55% owned subsidiary, Utah Truck Tire, Inc. (“Utah Truck Tire”) (which was dissolved by the State of Utah for failure to renew), which are collectively referred to as the Company.

RPS is a corporation organized under the laws of Germany engaged in the business of recycling and salvage. RPS’s technology includes processes and procedures to manufacture rubber talc.  Rubber talc is a fine powder and is used in various products.

To effect the Acquisition of RPS, the Company purchased the shares from John Rossi and Igor Plahuta. Each owned 12,500 shares of common stock of RPS and the 25,000 shares constituted all of RPS’s issued and outstanding shares. There are no relationships other than those related to the transaction between Mr. Rossi and Mr. Plahuta and the Company or any of its affiliates, directors, and officers.

To acquire the 25,000 shares the Company issued a total of 27,829,291 shares of its common stock, and granted common stock options to acquire 100,000,000 shares of common stock for a term of five years at a price(s) to be determined based on one-tenth of the closing ask price for ten trading days prior to the exercise of the option. The terms resulted from negotiations between the Company and Mr. Rossi and Mr. Plahuta.

Subsequent to the Acquisition, RPS became a wholly owned subsidiary of Garb. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition by Garb of RPS is considered to be capital transactions in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the Acquisition is equivalent, to the acquisition by RPS of Garb. As the Acquisition was a capital transaction, and not a business combination, there is no assigned goodwill or other intangible asset resulting from the Acquisition.

GARB OIL & POWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES  (continued)

This transaction is reflected as a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the Acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Under reverse acquisition accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of Garb, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, RPS. The accompanying financial statements reflect the recapitalization of the stockholders’ equity as if the transactions occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented. Thus, the 27,829,291 shares of common stock issued to the former RPS stockholders are deemed to be outstanding for all periods reported prior to the date of the reverse acquisition. Hereinafter Garb or RPS each is to be referred to as the “Company”, unless specific reference is made to a particular company or a subsidiary of a company.

The Company has recorded the granting of the 100,000,000 stock options as the $3,150,000 liability on the balance sheet labeled common stock options payable, because the options do not become effective or exercisable until the authorized capital of the Company is increased to not less than 220,000,000 shares of common stock.  Effective March 5, 2010, the Company increased its authorized shares to 500,000,000.

Prior to the Acquisition the Company’s fiscal year end was June 30, but the Company’s fiscal year end has subsequently been changed to December 31.

b. Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

c. Basis of Presentation - Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has incurred a net loss of $613,568 and $175,377, respectively, and as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $840,172. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that the Company can continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain successful operations. Management is continuing its efforts to obtain the necessary financing as may be required to generate sufficient cash flows for future operations. Management is pursuing avenues of generating cash or revenues during the next twelve months. The Company is pursuing sales of its waste-to-energy, waste-rubber and e-scrap plants on which the Company would earn a commission. The Company is also attempting to interest purchasers, or potential purchasers, of Garb shredders and plants in establishing joint ventures. The Company also continues to pursue financing to build, commission and operate its own waste refinement and recycling plants. Management also believes that with the new line-up of next-regeneration machines, industry expertise, website and marketing strategies that are now implemented, the potential for machinery and plant sales has increased.

GARB OIL & POWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain cash flow from operations or to obtain additional financing. If these are not available to the Company, the Company may not be able to continue operations. While management remains hopeful that one or more transactions will proceed, no assurances can be expressed as to the Company’s continuing viability in the absence of revenues. Current funding has come from operations and sales and the Company is currently in negotiations with several investment sources for equity investment in the company, which if successful, will satisfy long-term operations and capital expenditures. There are no guarantees that such negotiations will be successful.

d. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Garb and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

e. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the expected lives of the assets which range from five to ten years. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, was $10,965 and $11,285, respectively.

The Company records impairment losses when indicators of impairment are present and undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.

f. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when the sales amount is determined, shipment of goods to the customer has occurred, and collection is reasonably assured.  In the past the company has engaged in consulting activities but currently has no consulting contracts, revenue from these activities or expectations for such in the foreseeable future.

g. Advertising Costs

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $0 and $0 for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

h. Income Taxes

The Company recognizes the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement amounts of certain assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that uncertainty exists as to whether the deferred tax assets will ultimately be realized.

j. Financial Instruments

Cash equivalents include highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less, readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The amounts reported as cash, prepaid expenses, trade accounts payable and notes payable to related parties are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values. The fair value estimates presented herein were based on market information available to management as of December 31, 2009. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The reported fair values do not take into consideration potential expenses that would be incurred in an actual settlement.

k. Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

The Company maintains cash in federally insured bank accounts. At times these amounts exceed insured limits. The Company does not anticipate any losses from these deposits.

The Company had one and two customers whose sales were greater than 10% for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Sales to the Company’s one customer whose sales were greater than 10% for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled 86% of total revenues in 2009. Sales to the Company’s two customers whose sales were greater than 10% for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled 51% and 34% of total revenues in 2008.

Revenue from foreign operations of the Company for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, was $45,330 and $305,826, respectively. Net loss from operations for the same periods was $503,840 and $197,914, respectively. The net loss from foreign operations for 2009 and 2008 was $342,030 and $197,914, respectively. The largest expense incurred during each of these periods was for salaries and wages, being $423,542 in 2009 and $177,096 in 2008.  We are subject to extensive foreign laws, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to safety, pollution, protection of the environment and the generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal and remediation of waste materials.  Other risks of international operations include trade barriers, tariffs, exchange controls, national and regional labor strikes, social and political risks, general economic risks and required compliance with a variety of U.S. and foreign laws, including tax laws. Furthermore, in foreign jurisdictions where process of law may vary from country to country, we may experience difficulty in enforcing agreements. To the extent our cash flows and earnings are from foreign operations, they may subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. In jurisdictions where bankruptcy laws and practices may vary, we may experience difficulty collecting foreign receivables through foreign legal systems. The occurrence of these risks, among others, could disrupt the businesses of our international subsidiaries, which could significantly affect their ability to make distributions to us.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)

The Company’s December 31, 2009 accounts receivable was due entirely from one customer. The company’s December 31, 2008 accounts receivable was due entirely from two customers with one customer representing 56% of the accounts receivable balance and the other representing 44% of the balance.

The loss of any of these significant customers would have a temporary adverse effect on the Company’s revenues, which would continue until the Company located new customers to replace them.

l. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective October 15, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) new Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative accounting guidance under the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Topic.

The ASC does not create new accounting and reporting guidance, rather it reorganizes U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 topics within a consistent structure. All guidance in the ASC carries an equal level of authority. Relevant portions of authoritative content, issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for SEC reporting entities, have been included in the ASC. After the effective date of the Codification, all non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC was superseded and deemed non-authoritative. Adoption of the Codification also changed how the U.S. GAAP is referenced in financial statements.

Effective June 15, 2009, the Company adopted new guidance to the Subsequent Events - ASC Topic 855. The Subsequent Events Topic establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, the Subsequent Events Topic sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of an SEC reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date of its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. Entities are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the date the financial statements were issued or available to be issued. Adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the financial statements presented.

In its 2009 financial statements, the Company adopted new guidance to the “Business Combinations Topic” of the FASB ASC Topic 805, which was originally effective for fiscal years ending after November 1, 2008. This guidance establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the financial statements presented.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under the “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic” of the ASC. This topic relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. This additional guidance requires the entity to (i) evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability when compared with normal market activity, (ii) consider whether the preceding indicates that transactions or quoted prices are not determinative of fair value and, if so, whether a significant adjustment thereof is necessary to estimate fair value, and (iii) ignore the intent to hold the asset or liability when estimating fair value. This additional guidance also provides guidance in determining whether a transaction is orderly (or not orderly) when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, based on the weight of available evidence. The Company adopted this additional guidance in its 2009 financial statements. The adoption of this additional guidance did not have any impact on the financial statements presented.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under the “Financial Instruments Topic” of the ASC. This topic requires disclosure of the carrying amount and the fair value of all financial instruments for interim and annual financial statements of SEC-reporting entities (even if the financial instrument is not recognized in the balance sheet), including the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair values and any changes in such methods and assumptions.

This topic also requires disclosures in summarized financial information in interim financial statements. The Company adopted this additional guidance in its 2009 financial statements. The adoption of this additional guidance did not have any impact on the financial statements presented.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under the “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities Topic” of the ASC. This topic requires the entity to consider (i) whether the entire amortized cost basis of the security will be recovered (based on the present value of expected cash flows), and (ii) its intent to sell the security. Based on the factors described in the preceding sentence, this topic also explains the process for determining the other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) to be recognized in “other comprehensive income” (generally, the impairment charge for other than a credit loss) and in earnings. This topic does not change existing recognition or measurement guidance related to OTTI of equity securities. Certain transition rules apply to debt securities held at the beginning of the interim period of adoption when an OTTI was previously recognized. The Company adopted this additional guidance in its 2009 financial statements. The adoption of this additional guidance did not have any impact on the financial statements presented.

In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance as codified in ASC 810-10, Consolidation — Non-controlling Interests (previously SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — Amendments of ARB No. 51). ASC 810-10 states that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. ASC 810-10 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which for the Company is its fiscal ending December 31, 2009.

In March 2008, the FASB issued guidance as codified in ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging (previously SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133). ASC 815-10 requires entities with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why the entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under ASC 815-10 and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash. ASC 815-10 was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, which includes its financial statements for the 2009 fiscal year.

December 31, 2009 and 2008

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging,” that provides guidance on how to determine if certain instruments (or embedded features) are considered indexed to a company’s own stock, including instruments similar to warrants to purchase the company’s stock. FASB ASC 815-40 requires companies to use a two-step approach to evaluate an instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and settlement provisions in determining whether the instrument is considered to be indexed to its own stock and therefore exempt from the application of FASB ASC 815. Although FASB ASC 815-40 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, any outstanding instrument at the date of adoption will require a retrospective application of the accounting through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. This pronouncement had no effect upon the Company’s 2009 financial statements.

The FASB recently amended its guidance surrounding an entity’s analysis to determine whether any of its variable interests constitute controlling financial interests in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.

The amended guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary  beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amended guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company will re-evaluate any interests in variable interest entities for the period beginning on January 1, 2010 to determine that the entities are reflected properly in the financial statements as investments or consolidated entities. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on either its financial position or results of operations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

m. Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of income.

NOTE 2 – RESOURCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS GmbH

On October 27, 2009, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Resource Protection Services GmbH (“RPS”), a corporation organized under the laws of Germany. The Company issued a total of 27,829,291 shares of its common stock in exchange for the 25,000 outstanding shares of RPS. RPS is engaged in the business of recycling and salvage; its technology includes processes and procedures to manufacture rubber talc. Rubber talc is a fine powder and is used in various products. RPS currently reports on its balance sheet an investment in Sistema Proteccion Recursos (“SPR”), a sister company located in Madrid, Spain.

Through December 31, 2009 RPS had invested approximately $153,000 in SPR, but the investment has since been impaired to a value of $1 on the balance sheet at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On May 1, 1986 the Company executed an employment agreement with its then CEO. Under the terms of the agreement, the CEO’s salary was stated at $48,000 per year and remained so until the current period and has been accrued each year since. Upon the acquisition of RPS the former CEO resigned and agreed to forgive the accrued salary totaling $852,000. The forgiveness of accrued salary was recorded as a contribution of capital to the Company. During the year ending December 31, 2008, $139,417 in compensation to Igor Plahuta was also recorded as a contribution of capital. During the year ending December 31, 2009, compensation to both John Rossi and Igor Plahuta of $97,637 each, for a total of $195,273, was recorded as a contribution of capital to the Company. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has accrued $30,000 each to both its new CEO and its Director of Technology, and $155,650 to its new Executive Vice President, formerly its President. During the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, notes payable-related parties increased $465,819 and decreased $155,580, respectively. On June 10, 2009, 23,271,611 shares of common stock were issued at the then fair market value of $.015 per share in payment of related-party loans and accrued interest due to the company’s CEO, decreasing the balance of notes payable-related parties. The prior year increase was due to additional proceeds from notes payable.

RPS had revenue transactions with related parties for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008 in the amount of $39,008 and $131,007, respectively. Related party accounts receivable were $0 and $20,453 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company’s former CEO, John Brewer had accrued wages owed to him of $852,000. Mr. Brewer agreed to forgive the total amount of wages owed to him December 31, 2009. Given that Mr. Brewer is a related party the forgiveness of this obligation resulted in a credit to additional paid-in capital in the amount of $852,000.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 officers of the Company contributed services amounting to $195,272 and $139,417, respectively. There amounts have been charged to additional paid-in capital.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”), which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets at currently enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is recognized to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Topic 740 provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. Topic 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefit which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operation in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in the state of Utah. We are no longer subject to tax examinations for years before 2006.  Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Net deferred tax liabilities consist of the following components as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES (continued)

At December 31, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,480,000 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2009 through 2029. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2009 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS

The Company is currently negotiating employment agreements with its newly appointed officers.

As of December 31, 2009 the company had accrued a total of $257,988 in compensation to these officers. As of December 31, 2008, the company had accrued $0 to its officers.

NOTE 9 – NON-CASH DISCLOSURES FOR INVESTING AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the purchase of RPS, Garb granted some stock options to John Rossi, CEO, & Igor Plahuta, Director, to purchase up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These shares had not been issued as of December 31, 2009 and as a result, this transaction produced a decrease to additional paid-in capital and an increase in a stock options payable liability of $3,150,000 at December 31, 2009.

The Company’s former CEO, John Brewer had a balance of accrued wages owed to him of $852,000 at year end. Pursuant to year end, Mr. Brewer agreed to forgive the total amount of wages owed to him which was to be retro-actively applied at December 31, 2009. Given that Mr. Brewer is a related party to the Company, this transaction was treated as a non-cash item and resulted in a decrease to wages payable and an increase to additional paid-in capital of $852,000.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock in payment for $3,700 of debt owed to John Wright. These shares were issued at a discount and resulted in a loss on debt forgiveness. As a result of this transaction, additional paid-in capital increased by $15,000, debt was reduced by $3,700, resulting in a loss of $11,300 being recorded. In addition, the Company also issued 500,000 shares of common stock as payment for $5,000 in legal Fees owed to Mr. Wally Boyack. These shares were also issued at a discount and resulted in a loss on debt forgiveness. As a result of this transaction, additional paid-in capital increased by $12,000, debt was reduced by $5,000, resulting in a loss of $7,000 being recorded.

9. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTANTS AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable except as previously reported.

9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K,. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures contained significant internal control weaknesses that, in the aggregate, represent material weaknesses, as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in periodic SEC reports that it file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, using the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, certain significant internal control deficiencies became evident to management that, in the aggregate, represent material weaknesses, including,

 
i.  
Insufficient control processes for recording and approving journal entries;
 
ii.  
Insufficient policies and procedures over various financial statement areas;
 
iii.  
Failure to correctly record transactions and failure to timely complete documentation, testing and evaluation of internal accounting and financial reporting controls, resulting in untimely completion of accounting, preparation of financial statements and preparation of this annual report.
 

A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect financial statement misstatements on a timely basis.  A deficiency in design exists when a control necessary to meet the control objective is missing, or when an existing control is not properly designed so that even if the control operates as designed, the control objective would not be met.  A deficiency in operation exists when a properly designed control does not operate as designed or when the person performing the control does not possess the necessary authority or competence to perform the control effectively.
 
16

A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the Company’s financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As of December 31st, 2009 the Company continued to have significant problems with segregation of duties. However, in the first quarter 2010, the Company nominated an Executive Vice President to separate some of the conflicting duties from the President. The Company also hired a Chief Operations Officer who, as a major responsibility, is tasked with creating an environment of proper segregation of duties. This includes the establishment of detailed job descriptions and the hiring of personnel to fill the required roles of the Company.

The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

i. Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

ii. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

iii. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

d)  Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

He coordinated with manufacturing plant to build components for the shredders and then the final assembly of the shredders are done in the United States.  Mr. Anderson declared personal bankruptcy in July 1992 and agreed to a payment plan whereby his creditors have been or will be paid the full amount of his indebtedness.

Igor Plahuta, ME

Igor Plahuta has 20 years of experience in recycling industries.  Mr. Plahuta was first elected to the Garb Board on October 27, 2009.  Mr. Plahuta has a background in physics and started his career in various recycling and waste technology companies.  In 1992 he founded Artech Recyclingtechnik GmbH.  His initial task was to build up a company for the aftersales of all existing shredders in the market.  Igor worked as a mechanic in machinery at Mannesmann AG in Germany before going to university, personally repairing the company’s machines.  Igor developed two state of the art machines in 1999 and 2001. Based on his experience in changing shredder tools and adjusting equipment for the knives of fast speed shredders, he developed the quick exchange system for the rotor shear, and the automatic knife adjustment device which allows the knife adjustment while the machine is running.  Both systems have been patented and are still state of the art, and being used in many waste facilities in Germany with availabilities of up to 98%. Since then he has focused on tire recycling.

In 2003 Igor was one of the first to mix 25% special treated rubber powder into raw rubber, to produce retreads for OTR-tire for recovery. This will be the next step to be developed, the combination of the Garb OTR-machine and the recovery technology already developed to be used in large mining facilities.  In 2004 Igor founded RPS with the strong belief that a raw material crisis is unavoidable, and began to focus on raw material substitution technology and recycling designs.  In 2008 he finished the development of a special rubber powder production line now to be marketed through Garb.  From 2007 to 2009 Igor served as a director of Sistema Proteccion Recursos and Managing Director of RPS.  From 2004 to present Mr., Plahuta has served as Managing Director at Newview and from 1992 to 2006 served as director of Artech Recyclingtechnik GmbH.

(1) John C. Brewer beneficially owns 98% of the outstanding common stock of Garbalizer Corporation of America (“GCA”). John Brewer also owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Commodities Trading Corporation (“CTC”).

(2) In September, 1988 A/S Parkveien 55 filed a Schedule 13D stating its beneficial ownership of 1,800,000 shares owned of record and beneficially by it. The Schedule 13D also indicates that an additional 478,000 shares (3.3% of the class) were beneficially owned by two Norwegian corporations having common control or ownership with A/S Parkveien 55.  During a prior fiscal year, 1,500,000 shares held of record by A/S Parkveien 55 at the time of the Schedule 13D filing were transferred of record to Christiana Bank, Oslo, Norway and neither A/S Parkveien 55 nor the other corporations listed on the Schedule 13D currently own shares of record. A/S Parkveien 55 did not inform the Company of a change in beneficial ownership as result of such change in record ownership and the table therefore reflects beneficial ownership stated in the Schedule 13D as adjusted for subsequent sales by Christiana Bank.

(3) Consists of 9,788,291 shares held by GCA in which Mr. Brewer may be deemed to share beneficial ownership as a result of his position as a director and principal shareholder of GCA.

13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

On May 1, 1986 the Company executed an employment agreement with its then CEO. Under the terms of the agreement, the CEO’s salary was stated at $48,000 per year and remained so until the current period and has been accrued each year since. Upon the reverse acquisition of RPS the former CEO resigned and agreed to forgive the accrued salary totaling $852,000. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has accrued $30,000 each to both its new CEO and its Director of Technology, and $155,650 to its new Executive Vice President, formerly its President. During the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, notes payable-related parties increased $465,819 and decreased $155,580, respectively. On June 10, 2009,23,271,611 shares of common stock were issued at the then fair market value of $.015 per share in payment of related-party loans and accrued interest due to the company’s CEO, decreasing the balance of notes payable-related parties. The prior year increase was due to additional proceeds from notes payable.

The Company is in the process of finalizing an employment agreement with Igor Plahuta (the “Plahuta Agreement”).  Pursuant to the currently proposed Plahuta Agreement, Mr. Plahuta would, among other things, receive a base salary of $15,000 (adjusted for Euro parity pricing) as well as incentive bonuses based on certain revenue and profit metrics and certain other perquisites.

The Company is in the process of finalizing an employment agreement with John Rossi (the “Rossi Agreement”). Pursuant to the currently proposed Rossi Agreement, Mr. Rossi would, among other things, receive a base salary of $15,000 (adjusted for Euro parity pricing) as well as incentive bonuses based on certain revenue and profit metrics and certain other perquisites.
