Before making an investment decision, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section.

About Us

Trellis Earth Products, Inc. develops, markets and sells bioplastics-based products for use primarily in the food service industry, including disposable deliware, cutlery, trash liners and shopping bags. Bioplastics are compounds or blends of materials that incorporate or are derived from renewable biomass sources (such as soybeans, corn starch, wheat chaff, rice hulls and sugar cane) as a substitute for conventional plastics which are commonly comprised entirely of petroleum derivatives. Using advanced technology that we have developed, we believe our bioplastics-based products can be sold on a cost neutral basis with similar conventional plastic products. Annual global bioplastics consumption in 2010, according to the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hanover, Germany, was 1.6 billion pounds, with a market value of $2.7 billion, as reported by Environmental and Energy Management News, both independent organizations.

Our bioplastics-based products are presently manufactured to our specifications by a factory in China. Since January 2010, this factory has produced for us at least 200,000 pounds of bioplastics-based products per month. In the first quarter of 2011, we began transitioning manufacturing operations to our current headquarters in Wilsonville, Oregon (about 15 miles south of Portland) and expect to commence production there in early 2012. In late 2012, we plan to equip a second plant in Illinois. Together, these facilities are expected to have an estimated annual production capacity of 40 million pounds of bioplastics-based products.

Many well-established trends favor bioplastics production in the United States. Global demand for petroleum products remains strong as emerging economies, such as China, grow and compete with the United States for finite supplies. At the same time, traditional plastic bags, food containers and food contact service items require significant amounts of energy and raw materials to produce, such as natural gas and crude oil in the form of various plastic feedstocks, with their recent prices reaching record high levels. Meanwhile, renewable biomass in forms such as starch -- the primary raw material component of many bioplastics -- has remained comparatively less expensive and in abundant supply. As a result, bioplastics producers, with highly automated facilities, can experience high operating margins if they can leverage these materials’ cost advantages in the manufacture of finished goods that compete directly with pure petroleum-based plastics.

In addition to consumer preference for "green" products like bioplastics, state and city government policies are increasingly supportive of bioplastic alternatives to reduce the volume of waste in landfills, and accomplish other ecological objectives, by requiring that some food contact service items be certified as compostable, which almost always excludes pure petroleum-based plastics. Bioplastics address the economic, social and environmental issues associated with the prolonged and broad use of disposable petroleum-based plastic products.

Our growth strategy is to capitalize on these favorable trends by:

· expanding our manufacturing capacity by building and equipping two highly automated facilities in 2012;

· increasing the number of products we sell through our distribution channel partners across North America;

· growing our customer base and recurring business with major national brands;

· developing new wholesale product lines for core food service clients;

· expanding into conventional non-food product packaging; and

· making opportunistic acquisitions that serve our vertical markets within the bioplastics industry.

Our objective is to become one of the largest U.S. suppliers of bioplastics-based products by leveraging our domestic manufacturing capacity, distribution reach and proprietary process technologies. Because there is a significant gap between prospective demand and potential supply, we believe that United States and global markets can absorb all of our production, and that of our competitors, for the foreseeable future. We are currently marketing and distributing our bioplastics products through a combination of distribution arrangements, select resellers, brokers, agents, direct sales and vertical market suppliers. As of September 22, 2011, more than 500 customers are using our bioplastics-based products. We sell through distributors, such as Bunzl Distribution USA, Inc., which in turn sell directly to their customers and to other distributors such as Sysco Corporation, which has authorized our products for national distribution. Additional distributors carrying our products include, for example, Food Services of America (FSA), West Coast Paper Company and Walter E. Nelson Co. Grocery stores and resellers that purchase Trellis Earth® products include, for example, Costco Wholesale Corporation, Smart & Final Inc., The Kroger Co., The Trader Joe’s Company, Wegmans Food Markets, Inc, Smart Foodservice Cash & Carry and Restaurant Depot LLC. Hospitality companies that use Trellis Earth® products include, for example, Marriott International Inc., Canyon Ranch, Shilo Inns and more recently Westin Hotels. Additionally, health food stores, farm stores, food co-ops, farmer’s markets and Internet-based resellers purchase our products online. To date, we have primarily sold our products on the West Coast. In 2011, we have expanded our sales reach to the Midwest and to the East Coast. We are also exploring new vertical market sales opportunities in customized biodegradable product packaging for certain current and potential new customers that have indicated their willingness to incorporate our bioplastic packaging into their consumer goods products. We successfully developed a test package for one maker of nationally-branded merchandise, and have had ongoing discussions with other potential customers about having us produce their product packaging. In addition, we have created sample test food containers for use by a national quick-service restaurant chain and we believe that we can compete in this market on the basis of price, while maintaining strong operating margins, once our U.S. manufacturing platform is fully operational. Our current bioplastics product line consists of:
·	Deliware - We design and sell plates, clamshells, cups, trays and other similar types of food containers. The deliware items typically comprise a bioplastics blend made of approximately 70% plasticized plant starch compounded with various base polymers and ingredients that make our food containers resistant to heat and water, sanitary, capable of a long shelf life and partially biodegradable. The bioplastic used to create these products can be processed by modern, automated-forming equipment, which is integral to the low cost characteristics of the products.

	We have invented a new blend of bioresin that combines the best features of our starch-based, pure biomass and fiber-based products into a new type of bioplastic resin. This innovative blend creates a new type of deliware that performs like plastic (is waterproof and food-contact safe, for example) and has the manufacturing economies of scale of plastic, yet is entirely petroleum-free and compostable. It can also be significantly lower priced than petroleum-based plastics. We believe this material will make possible our consumer-value proposition captured by the slogan “Go Green for Free.”sm

·	Cutlery - Our cutlery is made with the same blends as our deliware, but is injection molded instead of thermoformed. The cutlery bioplastic blends range from 55% biomass to 99+% biomass, depending on specific characteristics sought by customers. For example, 99% biomass cutlery is compostable using commercial composting processes available in various locations (such as in Seattle and San Francisco). Cutlery that is 55% biomass is more heat resistant and partially biodegradable, yet is lower priced than fully compostable cutlery. We sell more than 30 part numbers (SKUs) of cutlery covering a range of premium, lightweight, bagged, colored and specialty cutlery items.

·	Film Products - We sell a wide range of shopping bags, produce bags, trash liners and similar bioplastic “film” items, all of which are made with a blend that is part plant starch, part polymer and part bonding compounds needed to incorporate biomass into their matrix.

We believe that recent market conditions make bioplastics increasingly commercially competitive with entrenched petroleum-based plastic products. We have recently developed two new methods for production of formulations featuring our proprietary bioplastics resin technology, focusing on what customer features are most desirable, the chemistry to construct those features in new materials and our ability to design manufacturing equipment and processes that are highly automated and cost-efficient throughout the production cycle. Although bioplastics are commonly a hybrid blend of conventional polymers and biomass, along with the agents necessary to cross link them and give them various qualities, our newest material removes all petrochemicals from the blending and composition of the bioplastics resin. We have submitted a provisional patent application in the United States for this improved method of bioplastics production. We believe that by introducing proprietary process technologies and formulations, we can increase operating margins and potential profitability. We were incorporated in December 2006 as an Oregon corporation and reincorporated in August 2011 as a Nevada corporation. Our principal executive offices are located at 9125 S.W. Ridder Road, Suite D, Wilsonville, Oregon 97070, and our telephone number is (503) 582-1300. Our website address is www.trellisearth.com.

Similarly, if we change the number of shares offered by us, the net proceeds we receive will increase or decrease by the increase or decrease in the number of shares sold, multiplied by the offering price per share, less the underwriting discount payable by us.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, the value of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Company and Business

We have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our prospects can be made, and we received a going concern qualification in our 2010 audit; there can be no assurance we will succeed.

We have been in the bioplastics business since December 2006. We have had limited operations to date upon which to evaluate our business prospects. As a result, an investor does not have access to the same type of information in assessing his or her proposed investment as would be available to purchasers in a company with a longer history of prior operations. We face all the risks inherent in a new business, including the expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with conducting operations, including capital requirements and management’s potential underestimate of initial and ongoing costs (including with respect to our new planned facilities in Oregon and Illinois). We also face the risk that we may not be able to effectively implement our business plan. If we are not effective in addressing these risks, we may not operate profitably and we may not have adequate working capital to meet our obligations as they become due. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our audited financial statements in this prospectus includes a “going concern” paragraph indicating that our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2010, limited liquidity and failure to complete our efforts to establish a recurring source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs for the next 12-month period, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have a history of net losses and we may not be able to achieve profitability in the future, which may have a detrimental effect on the long-term capital appreciation of our common stock.

We recorded revenues of $2,686,255 and $2,178,534 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and a net loss of $459,472 and $444,081 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We recorded revenues of $1,389,877 and $1,132,688 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a net loss of $699,338 and $158,548 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. From our date of inception (December 5, 2006) through June 30, 2011, we have an accumulated deficit of $2,823,343. Our losses to date have been due to expenses related to start-up costs incurred as we grew our business, and the costs of developing our sales and marketing organization. A component of the losses can be attributed to stock compensation charges and one-time expenses relating to legal settlement of employee severance pay 2011. There can be no assurance that we will generate significant revenues or be profitable in the future. If we are not profitable and cannot obtain sufficient capital, we may have to curtail or even cease our operations.

There can be no assurance that bioplastics will achieve market acceptance and grow; thus, the future of our business and the bioplastics industry is uncertain.

The market for biodegradable and sustainable materials may be disrupted by the introduction of new products and services, and is subject to changing consumer preferences and industry trends, which may adversely affect our ability to plan for the future development and marketing of our products. Though rising and volatile oil prices, environmental concerns, regulatory initiatives, and increasing consumer demand for products that have a smaller ecological impact are long‐term drivers for the adoption of bioplastics, and are creating consumer demand for the types of products we sell, there is no assurance such trends will continue or, even if they do, that general market acceptance for bioplastics will continue to grow.

We rely on a single distributor for a majority of our revenues, and if we lose this distributor for any reason, we would lose a significant amount of our revenue and need to divert our efforts and resources to this area.

Since entering into a distribution arrangement with Bunzl Distribution USA, Inc. (Bunzl) in mid-2007, we have been highly dependent on sales of our bioplastics products through Bunzl to its customers and other distributors. Under our arrangement with Bunzl, we sell products to Bunzl pursuant to purchase orders; we do not have a long-term contract with Bunzl. Approximately 59%, 64% and 71% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, resulted from sales through Bunzl and its affiliates. Therefore, at present, a significant portion of our business depends largely on the success of Bunzl in the disposable plastic food service items market. Our business could be adversely affected if Bunzl’s share of this market declined or if its customer base in that market eroded. A decision by Bunzl to discontinue or limit its arrangement with us could have a material and adverse impact on our business, and result in a significant loss of revenue to us.

We have been historically dependent upon a single manufacturer for substantially all of the products we sell, and could be adversely impacted through the loss of customers if this relationship were to end without reasonable notice.

We are currently dependent upon a single manufacturer for substantially all of the products we sell. This manufacturer, Zhejiang Wafa Ecosystem Science & Technology Co. Ltd., is located in the People’s Republic of China. Each shipment of the products to us could be delayed, waylaid, rerouted, stolen, lost or damaged, the occurrence of each of which could adversely affect our performance and profitability. We may also face increased pressure for the supply of finished products that are produced by the manufacturer, as a result of increased demand and competitors seeking to displace us. Further, we have no written agreement with the manufacturer by which we may ensure that our products will be manufactured and shipped to us on a timely basis, the failure for which we would have no legal remedy.

We may face additional barriers and costs as a result of importing our products from China, which could increase our prices and make our products less desirable.

China and the United States may create additional barriers to business between our principal manufacturer and us, including new tariffs, restrictions, controls or embargos that could negatively impact our business. For example, new or increased tariffs would result in higher prices (and thus lower sales volumes) and/or lower operating margins on our products, and thus negatively impact our operating results.

We may be unable to protect our proprietary and technology rights, which may cause an erosion of our competitive strengths.

Our success will depend in part on our ability to protect our proprietary rights and technologies. We intend to rely on a combination of patents, trademark laws, trade secret laws of general applicability, employee confidentiality and invention assignment agreements and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. However, these measures afford only limited protection. For example, we currently do not own any patents, and we have two patent applications pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, for technologies that have yet to be tested and produced on a large scale (see “Business”).If these applications are not approved, or if we otherwise fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, our competitive prospects will be adversely affected. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use trade secrets or other information that we regard as proprietary. There can be no assurance that our technology will remain proprietary.

Litigation or other legal proceedings or third-party claims of intellectual property infringement could require us to spend significant time and money, could prevent us from selling our products and could adversely impact the price of our common stock.

Our commercial success depends in part on our non-infringement of the patents or proprietary rights of third parties and the ability to protect our own intellectual property. Third parties may assert that we are employing their proprietary technology without authorization even if we are not. As we enter new markets, if any, competitors may assert that our products infringe their intellectual property rights as part of a business strategy to impede our successful entry into those markets. Third parties may have obtained and may in the future obtain patents and claim that manufacture, use and/or sale of our technologies, methods or products infringes these patents. We could incur substantial costs and divert the attention of our management and technical personnel in defending ourselves against these claims even if we are eventually successful in such defense. Furthermore, parties making claims against us may be able to obtain injunctive or other relief, which effectively could block our ability to further develop, commercialize, manufacture, use and sell methods and products, and could result in the award of substantial damages against us. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us, we may be required to pay damages and obtain one or more licenses from third parties, or we may be prohibited from making, using or selling certain methods and/or products. We may not be able to obtain such a license at a reasonable cost, or at all. In that event, we could encounter delays in product introductions while we attempt to develop alternative methods or products. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any of these licenses on favorable terms could prevent us from commercializing products, and the prohibition of sale of any of our products could materially affect our ability to grow and to maintain profitability.

Our revenues and operating results could decline due to macroeconomic and other factors outside of our control, such as changes in consumer confidence.

Changes in international, national, regional and local economic conditions may result in reduced purchases of the products we sell by consumers and reduction in the prices we are able to charge for the products we sell. These economic conditions involve, among other things, conditions of supply and demand in local markets and changes in consumer confidence and income, employment levels and government regulations. If these changes in economic conditions have an adverse effect on consumer demand for and the pricing of our products, our operating results will suffer.

Because we are smaller and have fewer financial resources than many of our competitors, we may not be able to successfully compete in the intensely competitive bioplastics industry.

The bioplastics industry is new but intensely competitive and highly fragmented. We compete with numerous companies, many of which are larger and more established and have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities and customer requirements and may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer more attractive terms to customers, and adopt more aggressive pricing policies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively or successfully with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not harm our business. We also expect to encounter intense competition from other entities seeking to pursue new business opportunities or business combinations. Many of these entities are well-established and have extensive experience in connection with identifying new prospective business opportunities or in effecting business combinations. Many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than we do and there can be no assurance that we will have the ability to compete successfully for new opportunities or business combinations. Based upon limited financial and personnel resources, we may lack sufficient resources as compared to those of many of potential competitors.

There are risks associated with conducting business operations with China, including increased costs resulting from possible labor shortages and the ability to effectively monitor product quality.

Our primary supplier, from whom we have secured distribution rights for certain bioplastic products, is located in China. As a result, we are subject to the risk of possible increased costs resulting from possible labor shortages in China. In addition, since we do not assemble or otherwise manufacture these products, we are subject to risks associated with the quality-control infrastructure at this manufacturer. Since we are not in control of the actual manufacture or production of these products, we cannot guarantee the quality of their production.

Our success will be influenced by the price of petroleum, the primary ingredient in conventional petroleum-based plastics, relative to the cost of bioplastic raw materials such as cornstarch.

Our success will be influenced by the cost of our eco-friendly alternative products relative to the cost of petroleum-based plastics. The cost of petroleum-based plastic is in part based on the price of petroleum. The prices of our products will depend in part on the cost of certain raw materials such as cornstarch. For example, in past years, the prices of petroleum and corn have diverged. If the price of corn or were to dramatically increase or if the price of petroleum decreases, any of our products based on cornstarch may be less competitive relative to petroleum-based plastics. A material decrease in the cost of conventional petroleum-based plastics may require a reduction in the prices of our products for them to remain attractive in the marketplace. In such instance, if corn prices or the cost of other bioplastic inputs remain stable or increase, we may be required to price our products at a level that causes us to operate at a loss. Recently, the prices of both corn and petroleum have fluctuated. However, based on the nature and scope of such increases, we believe that the fluctuation is a normal part of the price cycle. At this time, we have yet to discern what impact, if any, the recent fluctuations in corn and petroleum prices will have on our business.

Fluctuations in the Chinese RMB to U.S. dollar exchange rate may adversely affect our reported operating results.

We have a significant relationship with a supplier in China, and thus will be affected by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the value of the Chinese RMB. A decline in the value of the dollar relative to the Chinese RMB could negatively affect our actual operating costs in U.S. dollars and our reported results of operations, since we may have to pay more for the same products. We do not currently engage in any currency hedging transactions intended to reduce the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on our results of operations. We cannot guarantee that we will enter into any such currency hedging transactions in the future or, if we do, that these transactions will successfully protect us against currency fluctuations.

Changes in government regulations encouraging the use of biodegradable alternatives to plastic products and changes in regulations pertaining to marketing of biodegradable products may have an adverse effect on our business.

One of the key markets for our products is as compostable and biodegradable substitutes for non-biodegradable petroleum-based plastics. This market is driven in part by laws, regulations and policies designed to encourage or mandate the increased use of biodegradable and sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. Numerous countries, states and localities have enacted such laws and regulations, including bans and taxes on the use of single-use plastic and non-biodegradable plastic bags, due to ecological and waste management concerns. For example, the cities of San Francisco, Manhattan Beach, Malibu and Palo Alto in California, all have imposed bans on single-use non-biodegradable plastic bags. Similar laws have been proposed or enacted in parts of Europe, China, Taiwan and India. The phasing out or elimination of these or similar laws and regulations may adversely affect the demand for our products.

The State of California has enacted legislation limiting the use of the terms “compostable,” “biodegradable” and similar terms in connection with certain plastic products. Similar legislation has been adopted or is being proposed in other jurisdictions. While these restrictions also impact our competitors, these laws and regulations may limit our ability to promote or market our products based on their biodegradability characteristics. This could adversely affect the demand for our products which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be successful in identifying market needs for new technologies and developing new products to meet those needs.

The success of our business model depends on our ability to correctly identify market opportunities for biologically produced plastics. We intend to identify new market needs, but we may not always have success in doing so because the markets for new materials and other products are not well-developed.

The materials and manufacturing technologies we research and develop are new and are steadily changing and advancing. The products that are derived from these technologies may not be applicable or compatible with the demands in existing markets. Our existing products and technologies may become uncompetitive or obsolete if our competitors adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies and changes in customers' requirements. Furthermore, we may not be able to identify new opportunities as they arise for our products since future applications of any given product may not be readily determinable, and we cannot reasonably estimate the size of any markets that may develop. If we are not able to successfully develop new products, we may be unable to increase our product revenues.

Our success depends on our executive officers and other key personnel; the loss of any of them could disrupt our business operations and jeopardize our competitive position.

Our future success will depend in substantial part on the active participation and technical expertise of our senior management, namely William Collins, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Michael Senzaki, our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the services of Messrs. Collins or Senzaki, or one or more of our other key personnel, could jeopardize our ability to maintain a competitive position in the bioplastics industry. Effective upon completion of this offering, we will be party to an employment agreement with Mr. Collins. We do not currently have any employment agreements in place with our other executive officers and key personnel, and we do not carry key-man life or other insurance for our benefit on the lives of any of our executive officers and key personnel. Our future success will also depend on the continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified technical sales and marketing customer support personnel. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain our key personnel or that we will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future.

If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be negatively affected.

Because we have not yet evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, it may have weaknesses and conditions that could require correction or remediation, the disclosure of which may have a negative impact on the price of our common stock. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm’s attestation to or report on management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have a negative impact on the price of our common stock.

If we fail to comply in a timely manner with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, our business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal controls over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We expect to incur significant expenses and to devote resources to Section 404 compliance on an ongoing basis. It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take or costly it will be to complete the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and remediation process on a timely basis. In the event that our chief executive officer or chief financial officer determine that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how regulators will react or how the market price of our shares will be affected; as such, we believe that there is a risk that investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock and this Offering

The market price of our shares after this offering may drop below the price you pay in this offering.

You should consider an investment in our common stock as risky and invest only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuations in the market value of your investment. Before this offering, there was no public market for our common stock. We will negotiate and determine the initial public offering price with the representative of the underwriters based on several factors. This price will likely vary from the market price of our common stock after this offering. Prices for the common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including variations in our financial results, changes in earnings estimates by industry research analysts, investors’ perceptions of us and general economic, industry and market conditions. Many of these factors are beyond our control. You may be unable to sell your shares of common stock at or above the public offering price due to fluctuations in the market price of our common stock arising from changes in our operating results or prospects. In addition, the stock market has recently experienced significant volatility. The volatility of the stock of many companies often does not relate to the operating performance of those companies. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include:

·	introduction of technological innovations or new commercial products by us or our competitors;

·	regulatory developments or enforcement in the United States, China and other foreign countries;

·	developments or disputes concerning patents or other proprietary rights;

·	changes in estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, if any, covering our common stock;

·	litigation;

·	future sales of our common stock;

·	general market conditions;

·	economic, political and other external factors or other disasters or crises;

·	period to period fluctuations in our financial results;

·	economic, political and other external factors or other disasters or crises; and

·	overall fluctuations in U.S. equity markets.

These and other external factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders bring a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management.

An active, liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained after this offering.

There is currently no trading market for our common stock. Although we intend to have our common stock listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, there is no guarantee that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained after this offering. If a trading market does not develop or is not maintained, you may experience difficulty reselling your shares, or an inability to sell your shares quickly or at the latest market price.

Since the public offering price is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per share, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution.

If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will pay more for your shares than the amount paid by our existing shareholders. As a result, purchasers of shares in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution of approximately $3.37 per share, representing the excess of the public offering price per share over our net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2011, after giving effect to this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $5.50 per share, the midpoint of the estimated public offering price range shown on the cover of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our shares will be diluted upon completion of this offering.

Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.

Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.

The rights of holders of common stock may be impaired by the possible future issuance of preferred stock.

Our board of directors has the right, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation and other rights which could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of common stock, which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, and could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control. The possible negative impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock or to create any series of preferred stock, we may issue these shares in the future.

William Collins will continue to own a substantial amount of our common stock after this offering, which could delay or prevent a change in corporate control or result in the entrenchment of our management and board of directors.

Upon completion of this offering, William Collins, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, will beneficially own approximately 29.2% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result of his continuing ownership interest, Mr. Collins will have the ability to exert substantial control over the outcome of certain matters requiring a stockholder vote, including the election of directors and offers to acquire our company. In addition, Mr. Collins will have the ability to exert substantial control over the management and affairs of our company. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership may harm the market price of our common stock by:

•

delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control;

•

entrenching our management or our board of directors;

•

impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination; or

•

discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the company.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on your investment will likely be limited to the value of our common stock.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds of this offering and may not use them effectively.

Management will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds of this offering. Stockholders may not agree with such uses, and our use of the proceeds may not yield a significant return or any return at all for our stockholders. We plan to use the net proceeds from this offering for capital expenditures relating to our new planned facilities in Oregon and Illinois, working capital and general corporate purposes. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could have a material and adverse effect on our business. For a further description of our intended use of the net proceeds of the offering, see “Use of Proceeds.”

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements contained in this prospectus that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" which can be identified by the use of terminology such as “estimates,” “projects,” “plans,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” or the negative or other variations, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. We urge you to be cautious of the forward-looking statements, that such statements, which are contained in this prospectus, reflect our current beliefs with respect to future events and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors affecting our operations, market growth, and products. No assurance can be given regarding the achievement of future results, as actual results may differ materially as a result of the risks we face, and actual events may differ from the assumptions underlying the statements that have been made regarding anticipated events. Factors that may cause actual results, our performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include without limitation:

Uncertainties regarding the growth or sustainability of the market for biodegradable materials;

Changes in consumer preferences with regard to plastic products;

The risk that we may not be able to achieve or maintain a technological advantage over any of our competitors in the industry;

Risks relating to the protection of our intellectual property and proprietary technology; and

The risks associated with limited management, employees and financial resources.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock in this offering will be approximately $19,840,000, or approximately $22,876,000 if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, assuming an initial public offering price of $5.50 per share, the midpoint of the range listed on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. A $0.50 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $5.50 per share would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by $1,860,000, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering as follows:

Use of Proceeds	Approximate Dollar Amount		Approximate Percentage of Net Proceeds

Purchasing Machinery for Production Facilities (1)	$	12,000,000		60.5	%
Purchasing Components for Tooling (2)		1,000,000		5.0	%
Equipping Facilities for Operations (3)		600,000		3.0	%
Repaying Debt (4)		654,775		3.3	%
Expanding Marketing and Brand Development (5)		400,000		2.0	%
Purchasing Raw Materials (6)		400,000		2.0	%
General Corporate Purposes (7)		4,785,225		24.1	%
Total	$	19,840,000		100.0	%

______________________

(1) We plan to use approximately $12,000,000 in net proceeds to purchase extrusion, thermoforming and injection- molding equipment, and associated materials handling, packaging and operating equipment needed in our planned manufacturing facilities.

(2) We plan to use approximately $1,000,000 in net proceeds to purchase tooling components such as our initial product molds for our injection-molding lines (such as forks, knives and spoons) and thermoforming lines (such as clamshells, bowls, cups and plates) in our planned manufacturing facilities in Oregon and Illinois.

(3) We plan to use approximately $600,000 in net proceeds to prepare our planned manufacturing facilities for adequate power distribution, chilled water, compressed air and similar utility services.

(4) We plan to use $654,775 in net proceeds to retire the inventory financing note due Zhejiang Wafa Ecosystem Science & Technology Co. Ltd. (known as Zwest) in the amount of $450,000, and a related-party note payable to William Collins, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, in the amount of $204,775 (including $145,679 in principal and $59,096 in accrued interest). Mr. Collins’s note accrues interest at the rate of 12% per year and is payable on demand. We used the proceeds from this note to finance our purchase of inventory.

(5) We plan to use approximately $400,000 in net proceeds to increase our visibility and brand awareness in the marketplace. Specific uses of such net proceeds will include design patent and trademark registration costs, trade show collateral and attendance expenses, advertising and related marketing activities.

(6) In order to initiate manufacturing, we will be required to take delivery by railcar of the raw materials in an amount roughly equivalent to our holding capacity, or approximately 352 metric tons of supplies at an approximate cost of $400,000.

(7) We plan to use the remaining $4,785,225 in net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, including interest and overhead.

As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty all of the other uses for the proceeds from this offering, or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our research, product development, and commercialization efforts, and our operating costs and expenditures. Accordingly, our management will have significant flexibility in applying the remaining net proceeds of this offering.

We believe that the net proceeds of this offering, together with operating revenues and the remaining proceeds from our prior private placement, will be sufficient to meet our projected requirements for working capital and capital expenditures through at least the next 24 months. Pending use of the proceeds from this offering as described above or otherwise, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term interest-bearing, investment grade securities.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. Following the completion of this offering, we intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of our business and do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, outstanding indebtedness and plans for expansion and restrictions imposed by lenders, if any.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization and long-term indebtedness as of June 30, 2011, (a) on an actual basis, and (b) on a pro forma, as adjusted basis to reflect the estimated net proceeds we will receive from the sale of 4,000,000 shares of common stock offered by this prospectus at an assumed public offering price of $5.50 per share, after deducting the underwriting discount and the estimated offering expenses we will pay, and the conversion into common stock of all of our outstanding preferred stock on August 3, 2011.

You should read this table together with our financial statements and the related notes included in this prospectus.

	As of June 30, 2011
	Actual			Pro forma			Pro forma, As Adjusted
Long-term debt:
Notes payable	$	550,000		$	550,000		$	550,000

Stockholders’ (deficit) equity:
Preferred stock, $0.001 par value, 20,000,000 shares authorized, 1,799,331 shares issued and outstanding, actual; 0 shares issued and outstanding, pro forma and pro forma, as adjusted		1,779			-			-

Common stock, $0.001 par value, 100,000,000 shares authorized, 4,080,750 shares issued and outstanding, actual; 4,980,416 shares issued and outstanding, pro forma, and 8,980,416 shares issued and outstanding, pro forma, as adjusted		4,081			4,981			8,981

Total capitalization	$	(183,179	)	$	(183,179	)	$	19,656,821

The as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only. Our additional paid-in capital, total shareholders’ equity (deficit) and total capitalization following the completion of this offering are subject to adjustment based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering to be determined at pricing.

Assuming the number of shares offered by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus remains the same, and after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, a $0.50 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $5.50 per share would increase (decrease) each of additional paid-in capital, total shareholders’ equity and total capitalization by $1,860,000.

DILUTION

If you invest in shares of our common stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and our net tangible book value per share after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the initial public offering price per share is substantially in excess of the book value per share attributable to the existing shareholders for our presently outstanding shares.

Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2011 was approximately ($733,179) or ($0.15) per share as of that date. Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total tangible assets, less the amount of our total liabilities. Dilution is determined by subtracting net tangible book value per share, after giving effect to the additional proceeds we will receive from this offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, assuming an initial public offering price per share represented by the midpoint of the estimated public offering price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus.

Without taking into account any other changes in net tangible book value after June 30, 2011, other than giving effect to the sale of the common stock offered in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $5.50 per share after deduction of the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2011 would have been $19,106,821, or $2.13 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $2.27 per share to the existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $3.37 per share to investors purchasing shares in this offering. The following table illustrates such dilution


Assumed initial public offering price per share			$	5.50
Historical net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2011	$	(0.15)
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to purchasing shares offered hereby	$	2.27

Pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering			$	2.13

Amount of dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering			$	3.37

A $0.50 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $5.50 per share would increase (decrease) our pro forma net tangible book value after giving effect to the offering by $1,860,000, the pro forma net tangible book value per share and this offering by $0.21 per share and the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering by $0.47 per share assuming no change to the number of shares offered by us as set forth on the cover of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis as of June 30, 2011, the differences between existing shareholders and new investors with respect to the number of shares purchased from us, the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid, without deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses payable by us in connection with this offering. The total number of shares does not include shares underlying the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

	Shares Purchased					Total Consideration
	Number		Percent			Amount		Percent			Average Price Per Share

Existing shareholders		4,980,416		55.0	%	$	2,190,164		9.0	%	$	0.44
New investors		4,000,000		45.0	%	$	22,000,000		91.0	%	$	5.50
Total		8,980,416		100.0	%	$	24,190,164		100.0	%

A $0.50 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $5.50 per share would increase (decrease) total consideration paid by new investors, total consideration paid by all shareholders and the average price per share paid by all shareholders by $1,860,000, $1,860,000, and $0.21 per share, respectively, assuming no change in the number of shares sold by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

The pro forma information discussed above is illustrative only. Our net tangible book value following the completion of this offering is subject to adjustment based on the actual public offering price of our shares and other terms of this offering to be determined at pricing.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). These forward-looking statements involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the factors set forth above under “Risk Factors.” The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by U.S. federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update and revise any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this document to reflect any future events or developments. However, Section 27A(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Act and Section 21E(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Exchange Act expressly state that the safe harbor for forward-looking statements does not apply to statements made in connection with an initial public offering.

Although the forward-looking statements in this prospectus reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this prospectus as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our audited financial statements in this prospectus includes a “going concern” paragraph indicating that our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2010, limited liquidity and failure to complete our efforts to establish a recurring source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs for the next 12-month period, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, and other financial information included in this prospectus.

Overview

Trellis Earth Products, Inc. specializes in developing and marketing bioplastics technology and products, specifically products focused on the food service industry including disposable deliware, cutlery and trash liners and shopping bags. We provide customers with an alternative to traditional petroleum-based food packaging, reducing the consumption of oil, which is the primary objective of sustainability. We market and distribute our products through distribution arrangements, select resellers, brokers, agents, direct sales and vertical market suppliers. As of September, 2011, more than 500 customers are using our bioplastics products.

We have two customers representing approximately 83% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Bunzl Distribution USA, Inc. (Bunzl), one of the largest distributors of paper and plastic food service items in the United States, and its affiliates accounted for approximately 59%, 64% and 71% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. United Management Group (UMG) accounted for approximately 24% and 10% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively. UMG distributes our products to school districts and public organizations across the country. UMG has been our distributor to the Denver Public School District and several smaller school districts across the West Coast.

Except for Bunzl and United Management, no other single entity has accounted for more than 10% of our sales during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Revenue is recognized when the products being sold have been shipped, title and risk of loss have been transferred, collectability is probable and pricing is fixed. Title and risk of loss is determined by the terms and conditions of each sale. The majority of our sales are to distributors in the United States. We deliver our products to customers through either shipments from our distribution center in Portland, Oregon or direct shipments from the vendor's manufacturing facility in China. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 90% and 100%, respectively, of our revenue was derived from shipments made from Portland, Oregon. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 10% and 0%, respectively, of our revenue was derived from direct shipments from China. Revenues for the direct shipments are recognized when the customers received shipments. There are no provisions with our distributors for returns without cause, and payment is due within 30 - 35 days within transfer of title. We have not had any material collections issues with any of our distributors.

Beginning in March 2011, an affiliate of our largest distributor Bunzl takes title to shipments in China. Under this arrangement, we recognize revenue when title and risk of loss are transferred and when shipments are delivered to the customer’s facility in China. Payments for these sales are due 30 - 35 days from the date of transfer of title.

We currently outsource the production of substantially all of our products to Zhejiang Wafa Ecosystem Science & Technology Co. Ltd. (known as Zwest) in the People’s Republic of China. Approximately 99% of our total purchases of manufactured products and supplies, or $914,443, $1,554,389 and $1,371,356 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were from Zwest.

In the first quarter of 2011, we began transitioning manufacturing operations to our current headquarters in Wilsonville, Oregon and expect to commence production there in early 2012. In late 2012, we plan to equip a second plant in Illinois. Together, these facilities are expected to have an estimated annual production capacity of 40 million pounds of bioplastics-based products. The raw material, finishing and other manufacturing costs involved with our future plants are described under "Business -- Competitive Advantages" and " -- Manufacturing Strategy."

Matters that May or Are Currently Affecting Our Business

The main challenges and trends that could affect or are affecting our financial results include:

Increased sourcing costs from Asia - The combined effect of labor shortages in China, the falling dollar relative to the Chinese RMB, increased trans-Pacific shipping costs due to increasing fuel prices, increase in raw material prices paid by our factory and other increases in costs which are passed on to us, which we are not be able to fully pass on to our customers, has in the past caused our margins to suffer and has negatively impacted our cash flow and profitability. These conditions could be more prevalent in coming years.

Increased materials costs in the U.S. - Increased costs associated with our planned sourcing of raw materials including polymer supplies, which are tightly correlated to rising crude oil costs, increases in costs driven by corn rising prices, and similar cost component increases could impair our operating margins.

Sales

Net sales increased by $257,189, or 23%, to $1,389,877 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The sales increase for the period was attributable to volume increases associated with a new sales contract entered into during the third quarter of 2010 to provide products to the Denver Public School District along with increases in existing customer volumes.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of Revenues increased by $257,276, or 33%, to $1,031,557 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to the increase in revenues, coupled with price increases in 2011 from our contract manufacturer in China.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased by $87 to $358,320 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin decreased by 6% to 26% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily due to an overall price increase from our outsourced manufacturer. Due to rising labor rates in China and the deflating dollar versus the Chinese RMB, our outsourced manufacturer has placed a 5-8% overall price increase on our products. Coupled with increased fuel charges from our trans-Pacific shipping carriers, gross margin percentages have decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Overall, total selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $507,177, or 115%, to $948,927 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was largely attributable to increases in professional fees and increased head count as discussed below.

On February 14, 2011, we granted 100,000 shares of common stock to engage an investor relations firm to prepare us for the planned public offering of our common stock. The fair value of $200,000, or $2.00 per share, was a non-cash charge to selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase can also be attributed to additional professional fees of $123,955 related to the year-end audit, legal fees related to the settlement and mediation of a legal dispute and billings from SEC counsel associated with the preparation of a registration statement. In addition to professional fees, we increased our head-count which accounted for approximately $76,000 of the increase in selling, general, and administrative expense for the six months ended June 20, 2011. In addition, we incurred moving expenses and increased rent associated with its new facility in Wilsonville, Oregon of approximately $40,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we hired key personnel to assist in the expansion of our operations. As such, payroll-related expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased compared to the same period in 2010.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expenses increased by $12,600 or 60% to $33,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is directly attributable to our efforts to file two patents related to our proprietary biomass blended polymers.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $20,659 or 41% to $70,536 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 20, 2010. The increase in interest expense is directly attributable to the increase in our inventory payable from our outsourced manufacturer and the note payable to Yip which was executed December 15, 2010.

Net Loss

Net loss increased by $540,790, or 341%, to $699,338 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase was due primarily to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as discussed above.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009 (unaudited)

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, data derived from our statements of operations:

	Year Ended December 31,

Sales

Net sales increased by $507,721, or 23%, to $2,686,255 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The sales increase for the period was attributable to volume increases associated with both existing customer contracts and a new contract with the Denver Public Schools entered into during the third quarter of 2010. In 2010, we had one customer that accounted for approximately 64% of total gross sales. In 2009, the same customer accounted for 71% of total gross sales.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues increased by $377,182, or 24%, to $1,946,782 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to the increase in revenues, coupled with a price increase from our contract manufacturer in China.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by $130,539, or 21%, to $739,473 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in retail sales and high margin contracts signed in the third quarter of 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Overall, selling general and administrative expenses decreased by $10,219, or 1%, to $879,676 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.The decrease was due to a combination of the following factors: During the year ended December 31, 2009, we granted 289,625 shares of common stock to our employees and contractors for services with a fair value of $289,625, or $1.00 per share, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 when only 56,000 shares of common stock were issued with a fair value of $56,000. The fair value of the stock grants were charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the period the services were rendered. To offset the stock grants, professional fees increased by $112,000, to $127,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily driven by fees incurred by accounting firms for the audit of our financial statements, as well as increased legal fees relating to litigation with our former employees.

Employee Severance Expense

In 2011, we settled with two former employees on their severance pay. The settlement amount of approximately $160,000 was charged to operations in 2010.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expenses increased by $3,800 or 10% to $42,300 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to year ended December 31, 2009. The increase is directly attributable to our testing of various materials and processing combinations in order to develop our proprietary biomass blended polymers to be used within our product line.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $104,487 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $116,494 for the same period of 2009, a decrease of $12,007, or 10%. The decrease in interest expense was due to the fact that approximately $340,000 of notes were retired in the third quarter of 2010 and the convertible note of $200,000 to Yip was not entered into until late in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Net Loss

Net loss increased by $15,391, or 3%, to $459,472 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $444,081 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The minimal change in net loss was primarily due to factors discussed in the accounts above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through sales of our products, sales of our common stock and preferred stock and the issuance of promissory notes.

The following tables sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected cash flow information:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 (unaudited)

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2011 were $31,464 compared to $107,027 as of June 30, 2010. Cash was primarily used to fund our working capital requirements.

Net cash used in operating activities was $297,255 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $370,601 provided by operations for the same period in 2010. Cash used by operations increased due to the increase in spending related to professional fees combined with a slight increase in payroll-related expenses and the timing of collections of accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities was $14,235 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $2,917 for the same period in 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we purchased a vacuum forming prototyping machine for approximately $10,000 to produce samples for our customers at our facility in Oregon. The machine has not yet been placed in service.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $321,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $299,062 used by financing activities for the same period in 2010. From February 21, 2011 to September 19, 2011, we sold 537,786 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. We raised funds through the sale of common stock to finance the growth of our operations and to cover the costs associated with becoming a public company. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we made repayments on Zwest debt and a related party debt in the amount of $287,062 and $15,000, respectively.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010 were $21,954 compared to $38,405 as of December 31, 2009. Cash is primarily used to fund our working capital requirements.

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $462,199 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $15,000 provided by used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2009. The change in cash flows from operations primarily is the result of the expiration of a financing arrangement with our outsourced manufacturer and the associated increase of amounts owed as trade payables.

Net cash used in investing activities was $31,588 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $80,749 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The primary contribution to the outlay of cash in 2009 was the purchase of a robotic cutlery machine to prototype cutlery samples in our Oregon facility. The machine has not yet been placed in service.

Net cash used in financing activities was $447,062 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $80,754 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The primary contribution for the change in financing cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 was the repayment of various notes, specifically to our outsourced manufacturer of $287,062 and two related parties for $225,000.

We have experienced cumulative losses of approximately $2,823,342 from inception (December 2, 2006), through June 30, 2011, and have a stockholders' deficit of approximately $733,179. Accordingly, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Through this offering, we will increase funds available for the development of our business plan and working capital. For the next 12 months, we expect cash needs of up to $18,000,000 to finance equipment purchases and facility expenses to initiate manufacturing operations and to cover our ongoing working capital needs directly related to the commencement of manufacturing. We believe that the net proceeds from the initial public offering will provide us with the capital needed for these plans.

As of September 21, 2011, we had $183,864 in cash. In order to cover our cash needs required by our manufacturing growth strategy we have designated the proceeds from our initial public offering, which we believe will cover the estimated capital required for our manufacturing strategy and associated expenses.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Seasonality

We do not have a seasonal business cycle. Our revenues and operating results are generally derived evenly throughout the year.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. To prepare these financial statements, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates also affect our reported net sales and expenses. Judgments must also be made about the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could be significantly different from these estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses the accounting policies that are necessary to understand and evaluate our reported financial results.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

We generate revenues principally by the sale of disposable products for the food service industry. Revenue is recognized when the products being sold have been shipped, title and risk of loss have been transferred, collectability is probable and pricing is fixed. Title and risk of loss is determined by the terms and conditions of each sale. The majority of our sales are to distributors in the United States. We deliver our products to customers through either shipments from our distribution center in Portland, Oregon or direct shipments from the vendor's manufacturing facility in China. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 90% and 100%, respectively, of our revenue was derived from shipments made from Portland, Oregon. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 10% and 0%, respectively, of our revenue was derived from direct shipments from China. Revenues for the direct shipments are recognized when the customers received shipments. There are no provisions with our distributors for returns without cause, and payment is due within 30 - 35 days within transfer of title. We have not had any material collections issues with any of its distributors.

Beginning in March of 2011, an affiliate of Bunzl, our largest distributor, takes title to shipments in China. Under this arrangement, we recognize revenue when title and risk of loss are transferred and when shipments are delivered to the customer’s facility in China. Payments for these sales are due 30 - 35 days within transfer of title.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our past experience and other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating bad debts. Such factors include growth and composition of accounts receivable, the relationship of the allowance for doubtful accounts to accounts receivable and current economic conditions. The determination of the collectability of amounts due from customer accounts requires us to make judgments regarding future events and trends. Allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on assessing our portfolio on an individual customer and on an overall basis. This process consists of a review of historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, and the financial condition of our customers. Based on a review of these factors, we have establishes or adjusts the allowance for specific customers and the accounts receivable portfolio as a whole.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost method and it includes the costs from manufacturers, and in-bound freight. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excess quantities and other factors in evaluating the net realizable value. We determine reserves for inventory based on the historical usage of inventory, age of inventory on hand, assumptions about future demand and market conditions, and estimates about potential alternative uses, which are usually limited.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for share-based awards issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with ASC 718. Employee share-based payment compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Additionally, share-based awards to non-employees are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered at their fair value.

Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, we record deferred income taxes based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and uses enacted tax rates and laws that we expect will be in effect when we recover those assets or settles those liabilities, as the case may be, to measure those taxes. We review deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized.

We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense (benefit) line item in the statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, "Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements" (ASU 2010-06), which amends the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the ASC (ASC Topic 820). Among other provisions, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the relative reliability of inputs used in fair value measurements. The hierarchy gives highest priority to Level 1 inputs that represent unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs and have the lowest priority in the hierarchy. This amendment requires new disclosures on the value of, and the reason for, transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and additional disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide additional disclosures regarding Level 3 measurements which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010.

BUSINESS

Overview

We develop, market and sell bioplastics-based products for use primarily in the food service industry, including disposable deliware, cutlery, trash liners and shopping bags. Bioplastics are commonly compounds or blends of materials that incorporate renewable biomass sources (such as soybeans, corn starch, wheat chaff, rice hulls and sugar cane), as a substitute for conventional plastics which are often comprised entirely of petroleum derivatives. Using advanced technology that we have developed, we believe our bioplastics-based products can be sold on a cost neutral basis with conventional plastic products.

We were incorporated in December 2006 as an Oregon corporation, and reincorporated in August 2011 as a Nevada corporation.

Market Background

The conventional plastics industry, one of the largest industries in the United States, currently represents over $1 billion per day in gross sales, according to the Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc, an industry trade association. Of this amount, disposable food packaging currently accounts for over $1 billion per month while conventional non-food disposable product packaging also currently represents over $1 billion per month in U.S. sales, according to a study by The Freedonia Group, Inc., an independent research company. A report published by another research group, P&M Corporate Finance, LLC, estimates the total addressable packaging market to be $126 billion in U.S. sales per year, with plastics making up $38.2 billion of that amount. By comparison, the bioplastics industry is small, but growing rapidly.

The University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hanover, Germany reported that in 2010 global bioplastics consumption was an estimated 1.6 billion pounds. The value of this capacity, as reported by Environmental and Energy Management News, was $2.7 billion, or less than one percent of the U.S. plastics market.

Market Trends

Rising and volatile oil prices, environmental concerns, regulatory initiatives and increasing consumer demand for products that have a smaller ecological impact are long‐term drivers for the adoption of bioplastics. Increased awareness about environmental hazards related to disposal and recycling of petroleum-based packaging wastes, government initiatives to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and the negative effects of events such as oil spills are driving the growth of sustainable or non petroleum-based packaging. We believe these forces are creating consumer demand for the types of products we make and sell.

Overview of Plastics Market

Conventional/Petroleum-Based Plastics

The production of conventional or fossil fuel-based plastics begins with crude oil and natural gas. The components of these fossil fuels are heated, resulting in their conversion into hydrocarbons such as ethylene and propylene. Further processing creates styrene, vinyl chloride, ethylene glycol, terephthalic acid and many other compounds. These molecules are then chemically bonded into chains known as polymers. The polymers and their many combinations produce the abundance of plastic forms we have today.

The conventional plastics market includes several widely used, high volume commodity resins and numerous lower volume, higher performance resins targeting specialized end uses. The growth in plastic use has generally exceeded overall economic growth as plastics have entered numerous new markets and product applications based on their functionality and ability to meet numerous user requirements.

There are many different categories of plastics sold into the market today, but they are generally categorized into two broad groups: commodity polymers and specialty polymers. The most commonly known commodity polymers are polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate and polyvinyl chloride. The commodity polymers are high volume resins that tend to be lower value-added materials produced in volumes of tens of billions of pounds per year. The 2010 global market for plastics for use is approximately 562 billion pounds per year, according to Plastics News, with a growth rate since 1980 of 3.4% annually, according to SPI, a plastics industry trade association.

Emerging Health Concerns Regarding Polystyrene

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a report in May, 2011, entitled Report on Carcinogens, Twelfth Edition, stating that: “Styrene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on limited evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans, sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals, and supporting data on mechanisms of carcinogenesis.” The report specifically cites food containers as a source of human exposure to styrene, albeit with limited potential for exposure in common usage. The study more specifically focused on workers who are exposed to styrene in higher levels in various production environments, noting however, that both conditions pose health risks.

These concerns, coupled with concerns about polystyrene’s impact on the environment, including its inability to biodegrade and its tendency to impair marine habitats (where it is commonly ingested by wildlife including fish), is causing various municipalities to ban food containers made from the material. Seattle and Portland, Oregon are two such examples. A law that would ban expanded polystyrene for use in food containers has been proposed in the State of California.

This trend of banning toxic plastic materials in food service applications, and related market perceptions about other toxic effects of conventional plastic food containers, is fueling the movement away from petrochemicals in the food service industry for disposable containers and towards less toxic, more natural materials, such as those that we produce.

Emerging Issues Surrounding Conventional Plastics

Environmental issues around the world today are increasingly at the fore. Weather patterns and climate change are trending to extremes and more and more health-related problems are being attributed to the toxins in our atmosphere and to the products we buy and consume in our everyday lives. Across the globe, manufacturers are being subjected to negative scrutiny and pressure for contributing to the destruction of Earth’s ecology. This has resulted in additional regulation of how manufacturers produce their products. Several areas of concern relate specifically to the use of hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon-based products, including crude oil/petroleum, natural gas and products derived from these resources, including plastics.

Increased concern and public awareness on environmental issues, and the impact of petroleum-based goods on the global environment, has incentivized the business community to contemplate and develop products less dependent on hydrocarbons, or products which altogether avoid the use of hydrocarbons and similar resources in their manufacture. We believe market opportunities are created for goods perceived as environmental-friendly alternatives to some of the more conventional goods currently consumed.

Most conventional plastics used in the world today are derived from fossil feedstock, particularly petroleum and natural gas. The markets for these conventional petroleum-based plastics, chemicals and energy are among the largest in the global economy. The prolonged broad use of these petroleum-based products has raised several economic, social and environmental issues, including issues relating to plastic waste management and pollution, rising fossil fuel prices, personal health and safety, and climate change. We believe one impact of the foregoing concerns has been to engender rising levels of interest in product alternatives that are bio-based, sustainable and biodegradable.

Use of Bioplastics

Bioplastics are commonly compounds or blends of plastics that incorporate renewable biomass sources, such as soybeans (hulls or oil), cornstarch, pea or potato starch, wheat chaff, rice hulls, sugar cane, bamboo starch, or the products of microbiological activity, such as polylactic acid. This is in contrast to traditional or conventional plastics that are commonly comprised entirely of petroleum derivatives. The bioplastics industry is a burgeoning field, and we believe the industry is steadily overcoming technological obstacles that have constrained its growth.

Traditional plastic bags, food containers and food contact service items require large amounts of energy and raw materials (most commonly natural gas and crude oil) to produce and recycle. Oil is energy intensive to process and creates products that contribute to toxic waste problems. It is estimated by the U.S. Energy Information Administration that over 5% of U.S. oil and gas consumption is used to make plastics.

Although fossil fuels have their origin in ancient biomass, they are not considered biomass because they contain carbon that has been “out” of the carbon cycle for a very long time. Biomass is part of the carbon cycle. Carbon from the atmosphere is converted into biological matter by photosynthesis. Using carbon created by sustainable agricultural practices has the potential to reduce the impact of the causes that are widely recognized to be accelerating global warming.

Carbon molecules in plant mass are similar to molecules in petroleum-based products. Plant mass may, therefore, be used to displace petrochemicals in the production of plastics. Specifically, polysaccharide compounds such as starches can be polymerized into plastic molecules. Products made from biomass are considered sustainable because they participate in the carbon cycle with a lower impact than conventional petroleum products which do not counterbalance the carbon they introduce into the atmosphere with offsetting biological processes, such as plant growth (which can convert carbon dioxide to oxygen, reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere).

Incorporating biomass into plastics can greatly reduce the petrochemicals used in their production, while shifting demand to the use of sustainable or agricultural carbon sources that are lower cost, creating an eventual cost advantage for bioplastics compared to conventional plastics.

Bioplastics can be used in the food service industry for disposable service items such as cutlery, to-go containers and sheeting used for wrapping, bagging and packaging. These products comprise the core of our Trellis Earth® product line. Today, these products sell at a premium to conventional plastics. However, with the implementation of our U.S. manufacturing strategy, we believe that we can usher in a new era in bioplastics where the products are sold on a cost-neutral basis with conventional plastic products. We call this proposition for customers, “Go Green for Free.”sm

Bioplastics Adoption Issues

The processes necessary to produce bioplastics have been widely understood and refined during the 20th century. However, so long as oil and its derivative products, including plastics, were low cost by comparison, due to the low price of crude oil historically before the 21st century, there were few commercial incentives to use bioplastics or to develop large scale manufacturing techniques and capacity needed to lower their costs through economies of scale.

In 2004, as oil prices began a climb that would see them almost triple over five years, the market demand for bioplastics began to change. This trend was accelerated by the increasing awareness that global warming is a consequence of fossil fuel emissions, and that fossil fuels cannot service the planet’s energy needs indefinitely, particularly as demand across the globe increases while the population of the planet continues to climb and adopt common Western consumption patterns (i.e., automobile ownership and pre-packaged food consumption).

In addition to these issues, the bioplastics market is driven partly by laws, regulations and policies designed to encourage or mandate the increased use of sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. Numerous countries, states and localities have enacted such laws and regulations, including bans and taxes on the use of single-use plastic and non-compostable plastic bags, due to ecological and waste management concerns. For example, the cities of San Francisco, Manhattan Beach, Malibu and Palo Alto in California, all have imposed bans on single-use non-compostable plastic bags. Similar laws have been proposed or enacted in parts of Europe, China, Taiwan and India.

Providing consumers sustainable choices for reduced petroleum and petroleum-free alternatives to plastic in the food service and consumer goods packaging industry is the objective of our business plan. Driving costs down to cost parity with conventional plastics is the objective of our manufacturing strategy.

Growth Strategy

Our goal is to be a dominant supplier of bioplastics products to the increasing number of retailers and consumers demanding petroleum-free and compostable plastic products. We believe that with our U.S. manufacturing strategy, we can produce our bioplastics products on a cost-neutral basis as compared with conventional petroleum-based plastics products. The key elements of our growth strategy include the following:

•

Expand our manufacturing capacity. We plan to initiate operations in Oregon during the first quarter of 2012 with an extruder capable of 350 metric tons per month in output, and to build processing capacity for that amount of material to create finished goods in deliware and cutlery at full utilization by the end of the second quarter of 2012. In the third quarter of 2012, we plan to add a second extruder in Oregon for an additional 400 tons per month in capacity, and expand our manufacturing capacity for finished goods processing to accommodate that additional capacity in Oregon. In the third quarter of 2012, we expect to begin operation of an additional two extruders in Illinois to mirror the Oregon capacity, along with the necessary equipment to process that additional 750 metric tons per month of capacity into finished goods for sale to markets on the East Coast and in the Midwest.

•

Increase the number of products we sell via distribution channel partners across North America. We plan to expand our deliware line into cold cups, hot cups and wrapped cups, as well as expand the materials we use to make plates, bowls, trays and clamshells to include both compostable and starch-based material alternatives using our new resins that we create with our own processing equipment in house. We also plan to increase the number of retail packaging alternatives we sell via distribution channel partners to extend our reach into more retail consumer environments, including grocery stores, office supply stores, and other mass merchandise sales outlets.

•

Grow our customer base and recurring business with major national brands. We presently serve about 120 stores of The Kroger Co. grocery store network with our cutlery. Their network includes over 2,400 stores. Having successfully serviced Kroger for over three years, we are well poised to increase our sales to them. Similarly, we are in the Costco Wholesale Corporation network only in California, and only in their Business Delivery subsidiary. However, after three years of successfully selling through a limited number of stores and via their website, we plan to increase our sales to them as we bring capacity on-line in the U.S. We are similarly poised with other nationally known resellers of our products who comprise a readily available path for growth of our product lines.

•

Develop new wholesale product lines for core food service clients. We have recently increased the number of products we sell via Bunzl to include new 100% compostable cutlery in various styles. We plan to increase the number of 100% compostable products we sell via Bunzl, and other distributors that cater to the food service industry, with new cups, plates, trays and similar products. These initiatives are integral to driving the rapid growth of the volume of our sales nationally and to extending the Trellis Earth® brand in the food service industry.

•

Acquire target companies that serve our vertical markets within the bioplastics industry. Many companies import and rebrand sustainable and biodegradable products from Asia which they sell regionally and into various vertical U.S. market segments. Some of these companies are being adversely impacted by increased competition, rising costs in Asia, the falling value of the U.S. dollar in China, and other market trends. We expect to acquire companies that are unable to launch their own U.S. manufacturing strategies and convert their customers to using the Trellis Earth® brand and to service them increasingly with our own U.S. manufactured products. Currently, we have no agreements or commitments for any acquisitions.

•

Expand into conventional (non-food) product packaging. We plan to use some of our capacity to expand into product packaging that is unrelated to our core market in the food services industry. We plan to make sustainable and compostable inserts for consumer products to help retailers and those that package their products for retail distribution reduce the environment impact of their packaging. We believe this will help us diversify our revenue streams and manage customer and distributor concentration risk.

We have the option of creating capacity to sell resins to other companies that injection mold or thermoform finished products. We have not developed these plans, but we are planning to dedicate our capacity of resin production to make finished goods in house. This is because demand for low cost finished bioplastics goods greatly exceeds supply in the marketplace. Therefore, we are focused on making the combined margins of resin production and final product production, selling products under our own brand rather than helping others produce bioplastics products under their brands. However, this option also remains a potential avenue for growth.

Product Line

Deliware

Deliware items designed and sold by us include plates, clamshells, cups, trays and other similar types of food containers. The deliware items typically comprise a bioplastics blend made of approximately 70% plasticized plant starch compounded with various base polymers and ingredients that make food containers resistant to heat and water, sanitary, capable of a long shelf life, and partially biodegradable. The bioplastic material used to create these products can be processed in modern, automated forming equipment, which is integral to the low cost characteristics of the products.

We also sell deliware under our Trellis Earth® brand that is formed from third party bioresins that are comprised of 99+% biomass, such as PLA (polylactic acid), as well as fiber-based products that contain zero petroleum. These formulations, made by third parties, generally are considered to have limited performance features. For example, PLA is heat tolerant to only about 120° Fahrenheit. Fiber biomass products are not waterproof. Nevertheless, we offer these products in order to cater to the needs of customers for “one stop shopping” as these products are required in some markets (e.g., Seattle) where various food service items must be certified as compostable.

We have invented a new blend of bioresin that combines the best features of our starch-based, pure biomass and fiber-based products into a new type of bioplastic resin. We have filed a provisional patent for this new blend. This innovative blend creates a new type of deliware that performs like plastic (is waterproof and food-contact safe, for example) and has the manufacturing economies of scale of plastic, yet is entirely petroleum-free and compostable. This material could be significantly lower priced than petroleum-based plastics.

Cutlery

Trellis Earth® cutlery is made with the same blends as our deliware, but is injection molded instead of thermoformed. The cutlery bioplastic blends range from 55% biomass to 99+% biomass, depending on specific characteristics sought by customers. For example, 99% biomass cutlery is compostable using commercial composting processes available in various locations (namely, Seattle and San Francisco). Cutlery that is 55% biomass is more heat resistant and partially biodegradable, yet is lower priced than fully compostable cutlery. We sell over 30 part numbers (SKUs) of cutlery covering a range of premium, lightweight, bagged, colored and specialty cutlery items.

Film Products

We sell a wide range of shopping bags, produce bags, trash liners and similar such bioplastics “film” items, all of which are made with a blend that is part plant starch, part polymer and part bonding compounds needed to incorporate biomass into their matrix.

These bags are more easily degraded by natural processes than conventional plastic bags because the biomass in the bags breaks down through microbial action. This characteristic overcomes the objections many have with conventional plastic bags. We have custom manufactured bags for customers to resell under their own trademark, such as the BioBuilt® brand sold by Biobuilt USA, Inc. Bags currently account for less than 20% of our annual revenue and we do not plan to make these products in the U.S. We expect the percentage of our sales to reflect a diminishing importance of plastic film items, a market that is subject to wide scale competition and increasing regulation at the city-wide and state-wide levels.

Customers, Marketing and Distribution

We have multiple marketing and distribution channels. We sell through distributors, such as Bunzl Distribution USA Inc., which in turn sell directly to their customers or to other distributors, such as Sysco Corporation, which has authorized our products for national distribution. Additional distributors carrying our products include, for example, Food Services of America (FSA), West Coast Paper Company and Walter E. Nelson Co. Grocery stores and resellers that purchase Trellis Earth products include, for example, Costco Wholesale Corporation, Smart & Final Inc., The Kroger Co., The Trader Joe’s Company, Wegmans Food Markets, Inc, Smart Foodservice Cash & Carry, and Restaurant Depot LLC. Hospitality companies that use Trellis Earth products include, for example, Marriott International Inc., Canyon Ranch, Shilo Inns and more recently Westin Hotels.

In addition, more than 200 restaurants, health food stores, farm stores, food co-ops, farmer’s markets and Internet-based resellers purchase our products directly from us. We have generally sold regionally on the West Coast and through the Internet, although we have recently expanded our sales reach geographically, resulting in increased sales volume on the East Coast and in the Midwest.

We have explored new vertical market sales opportunities in customized biodegradable product packaging for certain current and potential new customers that have indicated to us their willingness to incorporate our materials in their consumer goods packaging. For example, we successfully developed a test package for one maker of nationally branded merchandise, and have had ongoing discussions with other potential new customers about expanding the use of our materials to include their product packaging. In addition, we have created sample test food containers for use by a national quick service restaurant chain and found that we can compete in the quick service restaurant industry on the basis of price, while maintaining strong margins, once our U.S. manufacturing platform is fully operational.

We currently have two vice presidents of sales, with three additional sales people working for them. We maintain on-going relationships with various industry brokers and from time to time have agreed to pay commissions to them for various account opportunities. We routinely ship directly from our contract manufacturing facility in China directly to customers on FOB China terms, and FOB U.S. terms, typically on either net 30 terms, for customers who are credit qualified, or with deposits and COD terms for customers who are not. In the last two years, we have experienced very few quality control problems, very few returns and a large amount of our business is in the form of repeat orders.

Bunzl Distribution and other Customers

Our largest customer is Bunzl Distribution USA, Inc. (Bunzl), one of the largest distributors of paper and plastic food service items in the United States, and its affiliates. We entered into a distribution arrangement with Bunzl in mid-2007. Under this arrangement, we sell our products to Bunzl pursuant to purchase orders; we do not have a long-term contract with Bunzl. Our relationship with Bunzl provides various advantages including reducing the amount of inventory we must finance and store in our facilities, providing us reach to new customers via Bunzl’s sales force, and handling logistics in delivering our products to markets. We routinely meet with Bunzl’s regional managers, as well as its U.S. corporate executives, at its U.S. headquarters in St. Louis, to discuss new market opportunities, new sales tactics and new promotional programs. We are considered a “preferred vendor” by Bunzl.

Approximately 59%, 64% and 71% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, resulted from sales through Bunzl and its affiliates to their customers and other distributors. Although we do not have a long-term written contract with Bunzl, we believe our relationship with Bunzl is strong. Given the competitive nature of paper and plastics distribution and the large number of customers (such as grocery store chains) that purchase directly from manufacturing companies, we believe that we would be able to reach many of our end-customers without Bunzl, should the need arise, but this could increase our costs. Revenue from Bunzl is expected to continue to decline as a percentage of our total revenues as we expand our marketing and distribution efforts.

We sell to Bunzl through both its redistribution division (known as Reliable Redistribution Resource, or R3), its importing division in China, via its U.S. headquarters, and various regional offices and buyers of Bunzl’s that we service directly. We receive purchase orders from Bunzl for goods that we manufacture to order or that we sell to it from our own inventory at our Oregon headquarters. Bunzl in turn sells our products to other distributors (such as Sysco Corporation) or directly to end-users (such as The Kroger Co.). We expect to increase our sales on an absolute dollar basis through Bunzl as we initiate U.S. manufacturing, but we expect on a percentage basis that Bunzl will be responsible for a lower portion of our total sales given strong demand and higher margins from other customers that wish to purchase directly from us and to whom we plan to allocate U.S. manufacturing capacity.

In August 2011, we became authorized by Unified Grocers, a collective of grocery stores comprised of 3,000 store locations, primarily in the western United States, to have our products sold by them. This relationship, and similar relationships with other distributors, will give us increased access to multiple channels to market our products, potentially lessening our dependence on Bunzl.

Approximately 24% and 10% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively, resulted from sales through United Management Group (UMG). Located in Denver, UMG distributes our products to school districts and public organizations across the country. UMG has been our distributor to the Denver Public School District and several smaller school districts across the West Coast.

Except for Bunzl and United Management, no other single entity has accounted for more than 10% of our sales during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Current Production

We currently outsource the production of substantially all of our products to Zhejiang Wafa Ecosystem Science & Technology Co. Ltd. (known as Zwest) in the People’s Republic of China. Zwest’s factory uses multiple formulations and resins to produce the Trellis Earth® products using techniques and processes that we have refined over the last five years. Approximately 99% of our total purchases of manufactured products and supplies, or $914,443, $1,554,389 and $1,371,356 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were from Zwest.

Zwest does not have any ownership interest in our products. The formulations in use by Zwest are either based on technology and resins provided by third-party sources (i.e., makers of PLA, a compostable resin that Zwest purchases from PLA factories for forming into finished goods bearing the Trellis Earth trademark), or are techniques that were developed initially by publicly-funded efforts of the Chinese government. These efforts resulted in processes and techniques that are in the public domain, used in multiple factories in China. We provide product specifications.

We have been the exclusive importer of Zwest’s production into the United States since our relationship with Zwest began in 2007. We do not have a written contract with Zwest.

Regardless of our U.S. manufacturing plans, we expect that business with Zwest will continue to grow. If the relationship does not continue to grow as anticipated, we will have the option of having our products produced at five other factories in Asia that are competitors of Zwest, although having to do so, without reasonable lead time, could interrupt supplies and lead to increased costs and competitive disadvantages.

We have granted Zwest a license to produce the products bearing our trademarks. The Zwest factory is not permitted to use the molds or trademarked items for sale to any other customers.

Intellectual Property and Proprietary Technology

We have developed two new methods for production of formulations featuring our proprietary bioplastics technology, building on our understanding of what customer features are desirable, the chemistry to realize those objectives in new materials, and our ability to harness new equipment that is highly automated. This equipment will be built under contract specifically for us to implement our proprietary blending formulations and unique manufacturing processes.

One of these new formulations is a process to make a blend that is similar to that in use by Zwest in China, which is re-conceptualized for adoption to a new method of production with an improved combination of ingredients. This new method improves the qualities of the “hybrid” resin that is currently made by Zwest, modifying the formulation to lower costs and improve the performance of final products made with this material. We have submitted a process patent application for this improved method of bioplastics production (U.S. Patent Application No. 13/179,049, filed July 8, 2011). This patent application, for the production of “High Biomass Content Thermoplastic Matrix for Food Contact Service Items,” details the new method and the new ingredients to be used in the bioplastics composition. This patent application is currently pending approval, as to which there can be no assurance.

The primary characteristics of this resin formulation are as follows:

·	70% biomass/starch base

·	waterproof surface

·	rigid structure

·	able to withstand over 240 degrees Fahrenheit usage

·	microwave safe

·	extrudable into rollstock

·	able to be thermoformed on high speed equipment

·	injection moldable

·	long term shelf life

·	imperviousness to mold

·	food contact safe

·	opaque beige or black formulations

·	formable by high speed compounding equipment

This patent-pending process will cover the method used for a majority of the output of our U.S. operations in 2012 until we introduce our “next generation” technology, which is designed to complement this invention.

We have filed a provisional patent application for the U.S. implementation of our “next generation” technology (U.S. Patent Application No. 61/505,786, filed July 8, 2011). This patent covers a method for the production of “Ultra High Biomass Content Thermoplastic Matrix for Food Contact Service Items.” This method is designed for high volume production in our planned U.S. facilities in 2012. This method is focused on the deliware segment of our product line, as well as applications in conventional product (non-food contact) packaging. This patent application is currently pending approval, as to which there can be no assurance. The uniqueness of this second patent application is the removal of all petrochemicals from the blending and composition of the bioplastics resin. Whereas bioplastics are commonly a “hybrid” blend of conventional polymers and biomass, along with the agents necessary to cross link them and give them various qualities, this material accomplishes the same result without any petrochemicals or petroleum-based carbon sources, a feature we believe is different than other bioplastics found in today’s market.

Specifically, this new material is focused on re-purposing agricultural by-products, such as corn stover, wheat chaff, soybean hulls, rice hulls and similar low-cost ingredients otherwise used as livestock feed, and building those materials into a bioplastic matrix that is extrudable into rollstock, formable by high-speed thermoforming equipment, compostable, food contact safe, waterproof, mold resistant, heat tolerant and significantly lower cost than conventional plastic or other compostable plastics in the marketplace today.

This “next generation” material is currently in the development phase, although we expect to perfect our provisional patent application by the end of 2011, and to develop new patents around this type of material and new methods for producing it commercially in high volume.

We have negotiated with an equipment manufacturing company to build the equipment that will be required by us to produce this material in high volume. We expect to bring this resin to market in production levels in the third quarter of 2012.

We intend to build a patent portfolio of at least two additional patent applications per year as we develop new materials and processes for manufacturing bioplastics. We plan to use our patents to create barriers to entry to competitors. We plan to seek design patents in the future for our finished, trademarked product designs, along with any accompanying trade and service marks used to brand the products and materials in the marketplace.

We obtained the registered trademark “Trellis Earth” for the product categories of disposable food service items, disposable cutlery, and various films and bags. We have filed with the USPTO for the service marks “Go Green for Free” and “Go Green for Less” for the product categories of disposable food service items, disposable cutlery, and various film or bags categories. We rely on a combination of patents, trademark laws, trade secret laws of general applicability, employee confidentiality and invention assignment provisions and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. However, these measures afford only limited protection. For example, as discussed above, we currently have two patent applications pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and if these applications are not approved, or if we otherwise fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, our competitive prospects will be adversely affected. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use trade secrets or other information that we regard as proprietary. There can be no assurance that our technology will remain proprietary.

Competitive Advantages

We believe that, with the initiation of our U.S. manufacturing facilities, we will be able to promote a pricing strategy called “Go Green for Free.” This strategy means that commercial users of conventional plastic packaging can convert to Trellis Earth® products and pay no more than they currently pay, being charged no premium for bioplastics.

This strategy is built upon two principles: that bioplastics resins can be produced by us to create a net savings when compared to the costs of alternative pure-petrochemical plastic feedstocks, used by our competition, and that we can produce finished goods cost effectively in a highly automated production environment.

Raw Materials Advantage

We compete in the market against many types of food service items made from many types of materials. One of the most common pure-petroleum derived materials we compete against is polypropylene. It is possible to illustrate the advantage we create by blending biomass materials into bioplastics compounds by comparing our production cost structure to an analogous cost structure if we were to make our materials from pure polypropylene resin.

For the basis of the comparison, the following costs are assumed (costs can vary widely in the market based on supplier, term of contract, market conditions and other variables, so this illustration is to show a relative cost advantage based on a hypothetical approximation of current material costs, which we believe are reasonable:

	Polypropylene		Trellis Bioplastic
Cost of Raw Materials
(per metric ton)	$	2,000	$	1,199

Cost of Production	$	0	$	427
(per metric ton)
Total Material Cost	$	2,000	$	1,626
Percentage Cost Advantage				19	%

Finishing Costs

As a manufacturing company, we will perform two primary finishing operations: thermoforming and injection molding. For purposes of illustration, the chart below shows a comparison of costs and markups for finishing costs (assuming thermoforming and injection-molding costs are comparable) for us, and a hypothetical polypropylene-based competitor with an identical finishing operations cost structure, each making a 30% gross margin.


All dollar figures per metric ton	Polypropylene		Trellis Bioplastic

Cost of Materials	$	2,000	$	1,626

Cost of Production—Finished Goods	$	279	$	279
(labor, depreciation, packaging, overhead, etc. )
Total Product Cost per Ton	$	2,279	$	1,905
30% Margin	$	977	$	816

Total Selling Price	$	3,256	$	2,721

Additional Margin Available to Us if Sold at Same Price as Polypropylene Products			$	534
Our Total Gross Margin if Sold Same Price as Polypropylene			$	1,351
Our Gross Margin Percentage if Sold Same Price as Polypropylene				41	%

These potential advantages, if realized in our actual production and market pricing conditions, upon completion of our U.S. manufacturing platform, form the basis for our planned advertising slogan, “Go Green for Free”SM. Actual results will depend on future prices, our ability to implement a cost structure as described above, and other conditions that will affect results as described in "Risk Factors" above.

Manufacturing Strategy

We are in the process of building our own factory in Oregon for operation in early 2012, and plan to add a second factory in Illinois by the end of 2012. These factories will enable us to produce products for sale from our own patent-pending bioplastics technology and manufacturing processes. These factories will manufacture bioplastics from raw materials into finished goods in continuous, highly automated processes.

Initiating U.S. production will require approximately $14.0 million in capital expenditures for manufacturing equipment, including approximately $7.0 million for our Oregon factory, and an additional estimated $7.0 million for our Illinois factory designed to serve both the Midwest and Northeast regions.

The capital expenditures per facility break down as follows:

Compounding and Extrusion Machines Per Facility	$3.0 million
Thermoforming Machines Per Facility	$2.7 million
Injection Molding Machines Per Facility	$0.9 million
Miscellaneous (packaging, etc) Equipment Per Facility	$0.4 million
Total	$7.0 million

The resulting capacity by type of equipment is estimated to be as follows:

Compounding and Extrusion Capacity Per Facility		720 metric tons per month
Thermoforming Capacity Per Facility		21 million units per month
Injection Molding Capacity Per Facility		43 million units per month

The facilities necessary to house this equipment are estimated to require approximately 100,000 square feet for each facility. We plan to lease additional space to complement our existing Oregon facility and to lease a comparable facility in Illinois. Each facility will require an estimated $300,000 to install subsystems needed for utility services including compressed air, chilled water and electricity.

We plan to order equipment for installation in the first quarter of 2012 in Oregon, and by the end of the 2012 in Illinois.

Third-Party Resins

As illustrated above, we will produce our own patent-pending bioplastics resins, but will also source third-party bioplastics resins that we will blend and process into finished goods under our own brand name. For example, we expect to purchase PLA (polylactic acid), a bioplastics resin, and use that resin to create cutlery in the United States, similar to the PLA cutlery we outsource under contract today. Similarly, we expect to source PBS (polybutylenes succinate) resin, and to blend it with PLA resin and other ingredients to create heat tolerant, fully compostable versions of our cutlery and deliware products for those customers seeking a premium product at a premium price. PBS and PLA resins are readily available for purchase by us.

The ability to harness advances made by other bioplastics innovators helps ensure that our product line will continue to be able to cater to the widest range of buyers in the commercial food service industry, and provide “one stop shopping” for buyers faced with the requirement in some U.S. markets (for example, Seattle and San Francisco) where certain food service or disposable plastic items are mandated by law to be certified as compostable.

Research and Product Development

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we spent approximately $33,600 on research and development activities. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we spent approximately $42,300 and $38,500, respectively, on research and development activities.

As of September 22, 2011, our R&D department consists of one employee, Dr. Yang Hu, and one assistant for him who is a contractor. Our Vice President of Manufacturing, Craig Mittelstaed, is also experienced in research and development and is expected to play an increasingly important role in collaborating on our R&D efforts.

We are in the process of equipping an R&D laboratory with various test and development equipment at our headquarters in Oregon. Over the last four years, we worked with various outside contractors and outside universities and specialists on an ad-hoc basis to conduct tests, experiment with new materials and become educated about various trends and developments in the industry. This was done primarily by our Chief Executive Officer, William Collins, as a function of his responsibilities both during his tenure as Chief Technology Officer in 2009, and during his time as Chief Executive Officer before and after that time. We tested various materials and processing combinations in various contract factories, test facilities, universities and other organizations that made their capabilities and non-secret information available to us as industry professionals on a work-for-hire or experimental basis. As we continue to develop our own R&D capabilities in-house, we expect to minimize our use of outside contract partners for the testing and development of our advances in bioplastics.

Government Regulation

We are subject to the regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, as well as the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC.

FDA regulations cover the composition of our materials that come in contact with food. The products we sell use only materials that are explicitly allowed by the FDA or deemed by the FDA to be food contact safe. In addition, the products we sell are produced in accordance with FDA standards for cleanliness, isolation of potential contaminants, and similar conditions.

The FTC regulates product marketing claims, and has shown an increasing interest in regulating “green” claims. We comply with all FTC guidelines for the use of the term “compostable,” only using the term where we have adequate scientific supporting test data to show conformance with the ASTM D-6400 standard, a standard recognized throughout the packaging industry as the defining standard for “compostable plastics.” We further comply with all other FTC guidelines for disclosures regarding our product features, as described by the FTC’s “Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims,” published on October 4, 2010.

We typically promote the products we sell as “sustainable” because our products replace petrochemicals, which are in limited supply, and which rely on carbon created from ancient photosynthesis processes, with newly grown biomass/carbon sources, which are in nearly unlimited supply. The FTC does not presently regulate the use of the term “sustainable.”

We comply with all known state regulations regarding the use of the terms “biodegradable” and “compostable,” including California state law which is generally considered the most stringent.

We could be subject to increasing regulation of our marketing claims, or to regulation by the FDA of bioplastics. However bioplastics are generally compromised of inert food and food by-products, substances that are inherently less toxic than petrochemicals. Petrochemicals commonly contain carcinogens, heavy metals, and other toxins. Biomass and food byproducts (for example, corn stover, sugar cane bagasse, wheat chaff, dried distillers grains and solids) are suitable for animal consumption and are conducive to life sustaining processes, unlike crude oil, from which plastics are commonly derived, which cannot normally be ingested or consumed by plants or animals without harmful effects. Therefore, bioplastics are generally a healthier alternative material for food contact materials compared to conventional petrochemical materials (such as polystyrene), and less likely to be regulated for toxicity.

Tariffs

Bioplastics are subject to tariffs covering the importation of plastic food service and film items. As a result, we pay a duty on all items that we import. This duty currently represents about a 5% mark-up to factory invoice. There has been no indication that the tariffs for imported plastics items are under review or likely to change. As we create capacity for U.S. manufacturing, we expect a reduction of costs associated with avoiding tariffs, as well as customs inspection fees, oceanic freight costs and similar importing expenses.

Competition

Upon the implementation of our planned U.S. manufacturing strategy, we will be a full bioplastics company and a producer of finished food service disposable products. As such, we will compete with three primary types of competitors:

Importers and Rebranders of Original Equipment Manufacturer Bioplastic Products

Today Eco-Products, Inc. is a company that resells biodegradable, sustainable and compostable deliware, cutlery and bags, similar to those sold by us. Their products are distributed by Bunzl USA and Sysco, similar to us, yet they command a larger share of the market. According to Inc.com rankings and statistics, they had 2010 revenue of about $62 million, and have grown 532% over the last three years. Similarly, Excellent Packaging and Supply, Inc. is a provider of products similar to us, competing with us in various markets, including San Francisco, where we also compete with another company, World Centric, Inc.

To the best of our knowledge, these companies import most of their products from Asia and rebrand these products under their own trademarks and sell both via distributors and directly to end users, as we do.

We plan to compete against this type of competitor primarily by leveraging the benefits of our U.S. manufacturing strategy, our intellectual property, including our pending patents, and our marketing. We believe that as a vertically integrated company we can compete on price, quality, product features and values associated with branding our goods “Made In USA,” while we simultaneously insulate ourselves from the risks associated with importing, primarily from Asia, including a falling dollar, surging importing costs, duties, quality control and labor shortages.

Bioplastics Resin Companies

Small public companies, such as Cereplast, Inc. and Cardia Bioplastics Limited, which specialize in producing bioplastics compounds, sell their resins to companies that make products that compete with ours. For example, Cereplast sells their resin to Genpak LLC, which makes a line of deliware products under the Harvest® Starch trademark that compete with our products. Similarly, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, NatureWorks LLC and BASF SE and other chemical companies make biopolymers that are used by others to make products that compete with us.

We are able to compete against these bioplastics and chemical companies because we make finished goods, not just intermediate resins that are purchased by other manufacturing companies. This lowers the cost basis of our products, and gives us a consolidated supply chain, while it also provides us multiple gross margin streams. One such gross margin stream is from the production of our bioplastics feedstocks in-house, and the other is from our finishing and forming operations. Our strategy is to blend the gross margins from these two areas of expertise to create final, finished goods at a price that eliminates the cost premium for bioplastics in finished goods, a pricing strategy that we believe is unique in the industry and a competitive advantage that we will be able to sustain into the foreseeable future.

Conventional Packaging Companies

We compete with large paper and plastic products companies, such as Berry Plastics Corporation, Solo Cup Company and Packaging Corporation of America.

These established plastics packaging companies are generally reliant on petroleum feedstocks, which directly correlate to the price of crude oil and natural gas. Some of these types of companies derive over 90% of their product revenue from materials that are based on petrochemicals that are subject to increasing scarcity, increased regulation and taxation, and increased sensitivity from consumers about their environmental impact.

The incumbent companies, in order to sell bioplastics, have an inherent conflict, namely, that as they promote bioplastics as an ecological alternative to conventional plastics products, they are by definition selling against their primary product lines and revenue sources.

To overcome this conflict, large plastic packaging companies have positioned bioplastics as a more costly alternative to conventional packaging. We believe they commonly pass on the cost increases of their petroleum feedstocks in the form of price increases, much the same way gasoline companies pass along price increases in oil as increases in gas prices at the pump. This has led to considerable inflation in plastic product packaging costs, which creates increasing incentives for the use of bioplastics, a condition that directly benefits us.

We do not have the conflict of trying to maintain market share of pure petroleum-based plastics and can freely sell against products made of polystyrene, polypropylene and similar plastics, without “cannibalizing” or selling against our own products.

Furthermore, given that the majority of our ingredients are derived from sustainable agriculture, which creates products that are under fewer regulatory, environmental and scarcity pressures, we are able to sell against petroleum-based competitors relatively immune from environmental and regulatory considerations, and the negative publicity surrounding the environmental impacts of petroleum and plastics companies in general.

Employees

As of September 20, 2011, we had 16 employees, of whom 3 were in engineering, 6 in sales and marketing, 2 in customer support and logistics, and 5 in general and administrative. Of these employees, 14 persons are full time, and we rely on 10 subcontractors for additional services. We consider our employee relations to be good. None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Legal Proceedings

We are not a party to any pending or threatened legal proceedings.

Facilities

Our principal executive offices and headquarters are located at 9125 S.W. Ridder Road, Suite D, Wilsonville, Oregon, where we lease approximately 18,003 square feet of office and warehouse space. We pay monthly base rent of $7,616 (which amount will increase over the term of the lease to $8,572), and estimated monthly operating expenses of $2,970, under a 52-month lease which expires in September 2015 (with an option to extend for an additional period of four years, and to increase the leased space to 33,000 square feet on a right of first refusal basis).

We are in the process of identifying additional executive officers and directors.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Prior to completion of this offering, our board of directors will have an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating committee, each of which will have the composition and responsibilities described below.

Audit Committee. We anticipate that, upon completion of this offering, our audit committee will be comprised of John P. Metcalf, as Chairman, and Neil J. Nelson. Mr. Metcalf will qualify as an audit committee financial expert. All of the anticipated members of the audit committee will qualify as independent under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Our audit committee will be authorized to:

·	appoint, compensate, and oversee the work of any registered public accounting firm employed by us;

·	resolve any disagreements between management and the auditor regarding financial reporting;

·	pre-approve all auditing and non-audit services;

·	retain independent counsel, accountants, or others to advise the audit committee or assist in the conduct of an investigation;

·	seek any information it requires from employees—all of whom are directed to cooperate with the audit committee’s requests—or external parties;

·	meet with our officers, external auditors, or outside counsel, as necessary; and

·	oversee that management has established and maintained processes to assure our compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and corporate policy.

Compensation Committee. We anticipate that, upon completion of this offering, our compensation committee will be comprised of John P. Metcalf, as Chairman, and Neil J. Nelson and will be authorized to:

·	discharge the responsibilities of the board of directors relating to compensation of the our directors, executive officers and key employees;

·	assist the board of directors in establishing appropriate incentive compensation and equity-based plans and to administer such plans;

·	oversee the annual process of evaluation of the performance of our management; and

·	perform such other duties and responsibilities as enumerated in and consistent with compensation committee’s charter.

Nominating Committee. We anticipate that, upon completion of this offering, our nominating committee will be comprised of John P. Metcalf, as Chairman, and Neil J. Nelson and will be authorized to:

•	assist the board of directors by identifying qualified candidates for director nominees, and to recommend to the board of directors the director nominees for the next annual meeting of shareholders;

•	lead the board of directors in its annual review of its performance;

•	recommend to the board director nominees for each committee of the board of directors; and

•	develop and recommend to the board of directors corporate governance guidelines applicable to us.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

Our board of directors will adopt a Code of Conduct and Ethics. The Code of Conduct and Ethics applies to all of our employees, officers (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions), agents and representatives, including directors and consultants. Upon the completion of this offering, the full text of our Code of Conduct and Ethics will be posted on our website at www.trellisearth.com. We intend to disclose future amendments to certain provisions of our Code of Conduct and Ethics, or waivers of such provisions, applicable to any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions or our directors on our website identified above. The inclusion of our website address in this prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this prospectus.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

We have not adopted a formal policy on whether the chairman and chief executive officer positions should be separate or combined. Due to the small size and early stage of our company, we believe it is currently most effective to have the chairman and chief executive officer positions combined.

Our board of directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes, and acts as our audit committee. The board of directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our assessment of risks. The board of directors focuses on the most significant risks facing us and our general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by us are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While the board oversees our risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.

Director Independence

John P. Metcalf and Neil J. Nelson are considered independent, as that term is defined under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

The chairman of our audit committee, compensation committee, and nominating committees receives additional compensation of $20,000 annually, 10,000 options vesting upon agreement to serve, and 250 shares of common stock granted quarterly.

Stock Option and Other Long-term Incentive Plan

On September 15, 2011, our Board of Directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). Under the 2011 Plan, options may be granted which are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") or which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options thereunder. In addition, direct grants of stock or restricted stock may be awarded. The 2011 Plan has reserved 1,250,000 shares of common stock for issuance. The terms and provisions of the 2011 Plan are described below.

The primary purpose of the 2011 Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel in order to promote the success of our business and to facilitate the ownership of our stock by employees and others who provide services to us. The 2011 Plan will be administered by our Board of Directors until such time as such authority has been delegated to a committee of the board of directors. Under the 2011 Plan, options may be granted to employees, officers, directors or consultants of ours. The term of each option granted under the 2011 Plan will be contained in a stock option agreement between the optionee and us and such terms shall be determined by the board of directors consistent with the provisions of the 2011 Plan, including the following:

The purchase price of the common stock subject to each incentive stock option will not be less than the fair market value (as set forth in the 2011 Plan), or in the case of the grant of an incentive stock option to a principal stockholder, not less than 110% of fair market value of such common stock at the time such option is granted.

The dates on which each option (or portion thereof) will be exercisable and the conditions precedent to such exercise, if any, shall be fixed by the board of directors, in its discretion, at the time such option is granted. Unless otherwise provided in the grant agreement, in the event of a change of control (as set forth in the Incentive Stock Plan ) all unvested shares shall immediately become vested;

Any option granted to an employee of ours will become exercisable over a period of no longer than five years. No option will in any event be exercisable after ten years from, and no Incentive Stock Option granted to a ten percent stockholder will become exercisable after the expiration of five years from, the date of the option;

·	No option will be transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any option may be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee. No option granted under the 2011 Plan will be subject to execution, attachment or other process;

In the event of any change in our outstanding common stock by reason of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of shares, recapitalization, merger, or similar event, the board of directors or the committee delegated by the board may adjust proportionally (a) the number of shares of common stock (i) reserved under the 2011 Plan, (ii) available for Incentive Stock Options and Non-statutory Options and (iii) covered by outstanding stock awards or restricted stock purchase offers; (b) the exercise prices related to outstanding grants; and (c) the appropriate fair market value and other price determinations for such grants. In the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the board of directors or the committee delegated by the board of directors will be authorized to issue or assume stock options, whether or not in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applies, and other grants by means of substitution of new grant agreements for previously issued grants or an assumption of previously issued grants.

The board of directors may, insofar as permitted by law, from time to time, suspend or terminate the 2011 Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever, except that without the approval of our stockholders, no such revision or amendment will (i) increase the number of shares subject to the 2011 Plan, (ii) decrease the price at which grants may be granted, (iii) materially increase the benefits to participants, or (iv) change the class of persons eligible to receive grants under the 2011 Plan; provided, however, no such action will alter or impair the rights and obligations under any option, or stock award, or restricted stock purchase offer outstanding as of the date thereof without the written consent of the participant thereunder.

As of September 22, 2011, 995,000 options have been issued under the 2011 Plan, including 250,000 options issued to each of William Collins and Michael Senzaki which will vest on a quarterly basis over a three year term, 20,000 options issued to John P. Metcalf, and 10,000 options issued to Neil J. Nelson which vested upon agreement to serve. The options have an exercise price of $2.00 per share. All option granted have an expiration term of 10 years. The total value of options granted was $2,110,332 at the grant date. The Company measure the value of option using the Black Scholes option model using the following assumptions: an expected dividend yield of 0%, estimated volatility of 59.65% and a risk fee interest rate of 0.31% commensurate with term.

Risk Management

We do not believe risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

William Collins, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, has from time to time made demand loans to us bearing interest at 12% per year. As of June 30, 2011, we owe Mr. Collins $145,679 in principal and $59,096 in accrued interest on these loans, which are due on demand. We intend to repay these loans with a portion of the net proceeds of this offering. See “Use of Proceeds.”

In connection with this offering, our board of directors has adopted a policy whereby any future transactions between us and any of our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, principal stockholders and any affiliates of the foregoing will be on terms no less favorable to us than could reasonably be obtained in “arm’s length” transactions with independent third parties, and that any such transactions also be approved by a majority of our disinterested outside directors.

Our total authorized capital stock is 120,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 shares are common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares are preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 5,452,145shares of common stock, held of record by 142 shareholders, and no shares of preferred stock, issued and outstanding.

The following description of our capital stock and provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws are summaries and are qualified by reference to the articles of incorporation and bylaws filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to our registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

Common Stock

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by our stockholders, including the election of directors. Our stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights and, accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect the entire board of directors if they choose to do so and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person to our board of directors.

The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors, in its discretion, from funds legally available therefor and subject to prior dividend rights of holders of any shares of our preferred stock which may be outstanding. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to prior liquidation rights of the holders of our preferred stock, if any, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis our remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. All outstanding shares of our common stock are, and all shares being offered by this prospectus will be, fully paid and not liable to further calls or assessment by us.

Preferred Stock

As noted above, our authorized preferred stock consists of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of the date of this prospectus, no shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding. Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Our board of directors has the authority, without any vote or action by the shareholders, to create one or more series of preferred stock up to the limit of our authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series, the voting powers (if any) of the shares of such series and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights (if any), and any qualifications, preferences, limitations or restrictions pertaining to such series which may be fixed by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series adopted by the board of directors.

Representative’s Warrants

We have agreed to sell to Aegis Capital Corp., the representative of the underwriters, for $100, warrants to purchase up to a total of 200,000 shares of common stock at $_____ per share (125% of the price of the shares sold in this offering). The common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants are identical to those offered by this prospectus. For a more complete description of the warrants, see the section appearing elsewhere in this prospectus entitled “Underwriting—Representative’s Warrants.”

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Island Stock Transfer, St. Petersburg, Florida.

Nasdaq Capital Market Listing

We intend to apply to list our shares of common stock for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TREL.”

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions

The provisions of Nevada law and our bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing another party from acquiring control of our Company. These provisions, summarized below, may discourage and prevent coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids.

Nevada Law

Nevada law contains a provision governing “acquisition of controlling interest.” This law provides generally that any person or entity that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Nevada corporation in the secondary public or private market may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested shareholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. The control share acquisition act provides that a person or entity acquires “control shares” whenever it acquires shares that, but for the operation of the control share acquisition act, would bring its voting power within any of the following three ranges: 20 to 33-1/3%; 33-1/3 to 50%; or more than 50%.

A “control share acquisition” is generally defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of either ownership or voting power associated with issued and outstanding control shares. The shareholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from the provisions of the control share acquisition act through adoption of a provision to that effect in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exempt our common stock from the control share acquisition act.

The control share acquisition act is applicable only to shares of “Issuing Corporations” as defined by the Nevada law. An Issuing Corporation is a Nevada corporation which (i) has 200 or more shareholders, with at least 100 of such shareholders being both shareholders of record and residents of Nevada, and (ii) does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.

At this time, we do not have 100 shareholders of record resident of Nevada and we do not conduct business in Nevada directly. Therefore, the provisions of the control share acquisition act do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply, the provisions of the control share acquisition act may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of us, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our shareholders.

The Nevada “Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute” may also have an effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of us. This statute prevents an “interested stockholder” and a resident domestic Nevada corporation from entering into a “combination,” unless certain conditions are met. The statute defines “combination” to include any merger or consolidation with an “interested stockholder,” or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an “interested stockholder” having (i) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (ii) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, or (iii) representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.

An “interested stockholder” means the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting shares of a resident domestic corporation, or an affiliate or associate thereof. A corporation affected by the statute may not engage in a “combination” within three years after the interested stockholder acquires its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. If approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the three-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of (i) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which he became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (ii) the market value per common share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (iii) if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

Our articles of incorporation are silent as to cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors. Nevada law requires the existence of cumulative voting rights to be provided for by a corporation’s articles of incorporation. As such, the combination of the present ownership by a few stockholders of a significant portion of our issued and outstanding common stock and lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace our board of directors or for a third party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not contain any explicit provisions that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Before this offering, no public market existed for our common stock. Market sales of shares of our common stock after this offering and from time to time, and the availability of shares for future sale, may reduce the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock and could impair our future ability to obtain capital, especially through an offering of equity securities.

Based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, upon completion of this offering, 9,452,145 shares of common stock will be outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. All of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless held by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

The remaining 5,452,145 shares of common stock outstanding upon the closing of this offering are restricted securities, as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. Restricted securities may be sold in the U.S. public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration, including by reason of Rule 144 or 701 under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below. These remaining shares will generally become available for sale in the public market as follows:

•

_____ restricted shares will be eligible for sale in the public market upon completion of this offering under Rule 144;

•

_____ restricted shares will be eligible for sale in the public market 90 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to the volume, manner of sale and other limitations under Rule 144 and Rule 701; and

•

_____ restricted shares will be eligible for sale in the public market upon expiration of lock-up agreements 180 days after the date of this prospectus, which date may be extended in specified circumstances, subject in certain circumstances to the volume, manner of sale and other limitations under Rule 144 and Rule 701.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date of this prospectus, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person who is not one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock to be sold for at least six months, would be entitled to sell an unlimited number of shares of our common stock, provided current public information about us is available. In addition, under Rule 144, a person who is not one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares of our common stock to be sold for at least one year, would be entitled to sell an unlimited number of shares immediately upon the closing of this offering without regard to whether current public information about us is available. Beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, our affiliates who have beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least six months are entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

•

1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately 54,521 shares immediately after this offering; and

•

the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale, or if no such notice is required, the date of receipt of the order to execute the sale.

Sales of restricted shares under Rule 144 by our affiliates are also subject to requirements regarding the manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about us. Rule 144 also provides that affiliates relying on Rule 144 to sell shares of our common stock that are not restricted shares must nonetheless comply with the same restrictions applicable to restricted shares, other than the holding period requirement.

Notwithstanding the availability of Rule 144, holders of 5,452,145 of our restricted shares will enter into lock-up agreements as described below under “Underwriting” and their restricted shares will become eligible for sale at the expiration of the restrictions set forth in those agreements, subject to any exceptions set forth therein or waivers by the underwriters.

Rule 701

Rule 701 under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date of this prospectus, permits resales of shares in reliance upon Rule 144 but without compliance with some of the restrictions of Rule 144, including the holding period requirement. All holders of Rule 701 shares are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling their shares under Rule 701. However, all of the Rule 701 shares are subject to lock-up agreements as described under “Underwriting” and will become eligible for sale at the expiration of the restrictions set forth in those agreements.

UNDERWRITING

Subject to the terms and conditions of an Underwriting Agreement, dated _______, 2011, we have agreed to sell to each of the underwriters named below, and each of the underwriters, for which Aegis Capital Corp. is acting as representative, have severally, and not jointly, agreed to purchase on a firm commitment basis the number of shares offered in this offering set forth opposite their respective names below, at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

Name	Number of Shares
Aegis Capital Corp.	__________

Total		4,000,000

Nature of Underwriting Commitment

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters are committed to purchase on a several but not joint basis all shares offered in this offering, other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below, if the underwriters purchase any of these securities. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the shares offered hereby are conditional and may be terminated at their discretion based on their assessment of the state of the financial markets. The obligations of the underwriters may also be terminated upon the occurrence of other events specified in the underwriting agreement. Furthermore, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the underwriters’ obligations are subject to the authorization and the validity of the shares being accepted for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market and to various other customary conditions, representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, such as receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions of our counsel.

Pricing of Securities

The underwriters have advised us that they propose to offer the shares directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and to certain dealers that are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), at such price less a concession not in excess of $ per share. The underwriters may allow, and the selected dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $ per share to certain brokers and dealers. After this offering, the offering price and concessions and discounts to brokers and dealers and other selling terms may from time to time be changed by the underwriters. These prices should not be considered an indication of the actual value of our shares and are subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. No variation in those terms will change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

The public offering price for the shares was determined by negotiation between us and the underwriters. The principal factors considered in determining the initial public offering price of the shares included:

•

the information in this prospectus and otherwise available to the underwriters;

•

the history and the prospects for the industry in which we will compete;

•

the current stock price;

•

our current financial condition and the prospects for our future cash flows and earnings;

•

the general condition of the economy and the securities markets at the time of this offering;

•

the recent market prices of, and the demand for, publicly-traded securities of generally comparable companies; and

•

the public demand for our securities in this offering.

We cannot be sure that the public offering price will correspond to the price at which our shares will trade in the public market after this offering or that an active trading market for our shares will develop and continue after this offering.

Commissions and Discounts

The following table summarizes the compensation to be paid to the underwriters by us and the proceeds, before expenses, payable to us, at the an initial public offering price of $____ per share. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option.

(3)

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, excluding the underwriters’ discount and the non-accountable expense allowance, are approximately $400,000.

Over-allotment Option

We will grant a 45-day option to the representative of the underwriters to purchase additional shares of common stock up to an additional 15% of common stock sold in the offering (600,000 additional shares) solely to cover over-allotments, if any, at the same price as the initial shares offered. If the underwriters fully exercise the over-allotment option, the total public offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions, and net proceeds (before expenses) to us will be $____, $____, and $____ respectively.

Lock-ups

All of our directors and executive officers and substantially all of the holders of our capital stock will enter into lock-up agreements that prevent them from selling any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of not less than 180 days from the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of Aegis Capital Corp., as representatives of the underwriters. The representatives may in their sole discretion and at any time without notice release some or all of the shares subject to lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the representative will consider, among other factors, the stockholder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

Representative’s Warrants

We have agreed to sell Aegis Capital Corp. for $100 warrants to purchase up to a total of 200,000 shares of common stock (5% of the shares sold). The shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants are identical to those offered by this prospectus. The warrants are exercisable at $o per share (125% of the price of the shares sold in this offering), commencing on a date which is one year from the effective date of the registration statement and expiring five years from the effective date of the registration statement. The warrants may also be exercised on a cashless basis. The warrants and the 200,000 shares of common stock underlying the warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA. Aegis Capital Corp. (or permitted assignees under the Rule) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will it engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of these warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. Additionally, the warrants may not be sold transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a one-year period (including the foregoing 180-day period) following the effective date of the registration statement except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners. The warrants grant holders demand and “piggy back” registration rights for periods of four and six years, respectively, from the first anniversary of the date of this prospectus. These rights apply to all of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the warrants. We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the warrants, other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrant exercise price or underlying shares will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below the warrant exercise price.

The warrants will be valued based on the underlying shares obtainable and valuation factors appropriate at the time it is issued. We currently estimate that value to be approximately $______, based on the number of shares subject to this warrant, a midpoint offering price of the shares of $5.50, the resulting exercise prices related to the warrant on the shares, the five year term of the warrant, a risk-free interest rate of __% currently commensurate with that term, an expected dividend yield of __% and estimated volatility of __%, based on a review of our historical volatility. The initial value of the warrants will be charged to additional paid-in capital as part of the offering costs incurred, and the warrants will be accounted for as a derivative instrument liability because they are denominated in a currency other than our functional currency.

Other Terms

In connection with this offering, the underwriters or certain of the securities dealers may distribute prospectuses electronically. No forms of prospectus other than printed prospectuses and electronically distributed prospectuses that are printable in Adobe .pdf format will be used in connection with this offering.

The underwriters have informed us that they do not expect to confirm sales of shares offered by this prospectus to accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority without obtaining the specific approval of the account holder. We have also granted Aegis Capital Corp. a right of first refusal to conduct future offerings for us during the 12 months following the date of this prospectus.

Stabilization

Until the distribution of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of the underwriters to bid for and to purchase our securities. As an exception to these rules, the underwriters may engage in transactions effected in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are intended to stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock. The underwriters may engage in over-allotment sales, syndicate covering transactions, stabilizing transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M.

•

Stabilizing transactions permit bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the common stock, so long as stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

•

Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their over-allotment option or purchasing shares in the open market.

•

Covering transactions involve the purchase of securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions. In determining the source of securities to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase securities through the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares of common stock than could be covered by the over-allotment option, creating a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.

•

Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a selected dealer when the shares of common stock originally sold by the selected dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction.

These stabilizing transactions, covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market.

Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the prices of our securities. These transactions may occur on the Nasdaq Capital Market or on any other trading market. If any of these transactions are commenced, they may be discontinued without notice at any time.

Offer Restrictions Outside the United States

Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriters that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

Indemnification

The underwriting agreement provides for indemnification between us and the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and for contribution by us and the underwriters to payments that may be required to be made with respect to those liabilities. We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore, unenforceable.

EXPERTS

Our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, appearing in this prospectus and registration statement have been audited by GBH CPAs, PC, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the issuance of the common stock offered by us in this offering will be passed upon for us by Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference Anslow LLP, New York, New York. In addition, certain legal matters in connection with this offering will be passed upon for the underwriters by Greenberg Traurig, LLP, New York, New York.

COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Neither our articles of incorporation nor bylaws prevent us from indemnifying our officers, directors and agents to the extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). NRS Section 78.7502 provides that a corporation shall indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any the defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.

NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

NRS Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

NRS Section 78.747 provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The court as a matter of law must determine the question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed hereby in the Securities Act and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1.	Nature of operations

Trellis Earth Products, Inc. (the “Company”) is an Oregon corporation incorporated on December 5, 2006. The Company reincorporated in the State of Nevada on August 16, 2011. The Company engages in the distribution and sale of starch-based biodegradable disposable containers, tableware, and packaging materials. The Company offers its customers starch-based food and beverage containers and utensils made from biodegradable material, including cups, plates, and bowls; and traveling, picnic, and outdoor tableware products.

2.	Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

As of September 15, 2011, the Company effected a one-for-two reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements and notes thereto, have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect this reverse stock split.

3.	Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include those with respect to the fair value of financial instruments, contingencies for litigation, collectability of receivables and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.	Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider short term, highly liquid investments that have an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

2.	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s past experience and other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating bad debts. Such factors include growth and composition of accounts receivable, the relationship of the allowance for doubtful accounts to accounts receivable and current economic conditions. The determination of the collectability of amounts due from customer accounts requires the Company to make judgments regarding future events and trends. Allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on assessing the Company’s portfolio on an individual customer and on an overall basis. This process consists of a review of historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, and the financial condition of Trellis’s customers. Based on a review of these factors, the Company establishes or adjusts the allowance for specific customers and the accounts receivable portfolio as a whole. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $15,960 and $0, respectively.

F-7

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost method and it includes the costs from manufacturers, and in-bound freight. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excess quantities and other factors in evaluating the net realizable value. The Company determines reserves for inventory based on the historical usage of inventory, age of inventory on hand, assumptions about future demand and market conditions and estimates about potential alternative uses, which are usually limited.

4.	Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions of new equipment and major renewals and replacements of existing equipment are capitalized. Repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred. Cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts when assets are sold or retired, and the resulting gains or losses are included in operations.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method applied to the expected useful lives of the assets:

	Estimated useful lives (years)
Machinery and equipment	3 – 7 years
Office furniture, fixtures and fittings	3 – 5 years

5.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).

6.	Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, it records deferred income taxes based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and uses enacted tax rates and laws that the Company expects will be in effect when it recovers those assets or settles those liabilities, as the case may be, to measure those taxes. The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized.

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. During 2010, the Company did not identify any uncertain tax positions.

The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense (benefit) line item in the statement of operations.

7.	Revenue and Cost Recognition

The Company generates revenues principally by the sale of disposable products for the food service industry. Revenue is recognized when the products being sold have been shipped, title and risk of loss have been transferred, collectability is probable and pricing is fixed. Title and risk of loss is determined by the terms and conditions of each sale. The majority of the Company's sales are to distributors in the United States. The Company delivers its products to the customers through either shipments from the Company's distribution center in Portland Oregon or direct shipments from the vendor's manufacturing facility in China. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 90% and 100%, respectively, of the Company's revenue was derived from shipments made from Portland Oregon. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 10% and 0%, respectively, of the Company's revenue was derived from direct shipments from China. Revenues for the direct shipments are recognized when the customers received shipments. There are no provisions with the Company's distributors for returns without cause, and payment is due within 30 - 35 days within transfer of title. The Company has not had any material collection issues with any of its distributors.

F-8

Beginning in March of 2011, an affiliate of the Company's largest distributor Bunzl takes title to shipments in China. Under this arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss are transferred and when shipments are delivered to the customer’s facility in China. Payments for these sales are due 30 - 35 days from the date of transfer of title.

8.	Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, advertising expense recorded by the Company was $10,494 and $17,809, respectively.

9.	Earnings (loss) per Share of Common Stock

Basic and diluted net income per share calculations are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding during the year. Purchases of treasury stock reduce the outstanding shares commencing on the date that the stock is purchased. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation when a loss is incurred as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has no options or warrants outstanding.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has Convertible Preferred Stock of 1,399,331 shares and 1,270,488 shares, respectively, which can be converted to Common Stock on a 2 to 1 basis. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has convertible debt that can be converted to 400,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. As the effect of these common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive, we have excluded all of these dilutive securities in our calculation of diluted earnings per share for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009.

10.	Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based awards issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, employee share-based payment compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Additionally, share-based awards to non-employees are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered at their fair value.

11.	Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are costs associated with developing the Company’s intellectual property. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $42,300 and $38,500, respectively.

12.	Concentrations

Trade accounts receivables are typically generated from companies with distribution operations, which would be impacted by conditions relative to the U.S. economy in general. In 2010, 74% of revenues were attributable to two customers and their affiliates. In 2009, 71% of revenues were attributable to one customer and its affiliates. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, generally, requires no collateral. The Company is not aware of any significant credit risk relating to these customers and has not experienced any credit loss associated with such receivables.

F-9

13.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

14.	Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated all transactions from December 31, 2010 through September 21, 2011, the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure.

NOTE C – GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $774,578, an accumulated deficit of $2,124,004 as of December 31, 2010, and net losses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 of $459,472 and $444,081, respectively. The Company is currently seeking additional funding to expand its business model and support its operations. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

These notes were fully repaid and retired at December 31, 2010.

On August 15, 2008, the Company entered into a Promissory Note for $431,925, William Collins, the Company’s CEO, with an interest rate of 12% per annum. The interest on the note is payable in cash on a monthly basis. This note is unsecured, and due on demand. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the balance due to Collins was $204,775 and $299,775, respectively, of which $59,096 is accrued interest for both periods.

NOTE J – INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes has been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 as the Company incurred a net operating loss for income tax purposes in each year and has no carry-back potential.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company assesses whether it is more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income to realize its deferred income tax assets in a reasonable period of time. In making this determination, it considers all available positive and negative evidence and makes certain assumptions, including, among other things, the deferred tax liabilities; the overall business environment; the historical earnings and losses; and its outlook for future years. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the deferred tax assets consisted mainly of the net operating losses carried over from the prior years and the Company provided a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets, as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in a reasonable period of time.

Reconciliation between actual tax expense (benefit) and income taxes computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate and state income tax rate to income from continuing operations before income taxes are as follows:

	12/31/10			12/31/09
Computed at U.S. and State statutory rates (34%)	$	(147,844	)	$	(78,608	)
Stock-based compensation		10,662			26,093
Other differences		(527	)		(967	)
Change in valuation allowance		137,709			53,482
Total	$	-		$	-

Tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred liabilities are presented below:

	12/31/10			12/31/09
Deferred tax assets	$	461,526		$	323,817
Less valuation allowance		(461,526	)		(323,817	)
Net deferred tax assets	$	-		$	-

At December 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $1,357,000 which will begin to expire, if unused, in 2026. The valuation allowance increased $137,709 and $53,482 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The above estimates are based upon management's decisions concerning certain elections which could change the relationship between net income and taxable income. Management decisions are made annually and could cause the estimates to vary significantly.

Litigation

The Company was involved in two cases, which have been consolidated in Multnomah County Circuit Court for the State of Oregon: (1) Trellis Earth Products, Inc. v. Randall R. Reed and Jon Holt, Multnomah County Circuit Court Case No. 1007-11053 (the “Trellis Earth Litigation”); and (2) Randall Reed v. Trellis Earth Products, Inc., Multnomah County Circuit Court Case No. 1008-11577 (the “Reed Litigation”).

Two former employees of the Company, Randall Reed and John Holt, were seeking to recover from the Company alleged wages and other purported employment benefits that were due upon their termination.

In June 2011, the Company reached a settlement with Randall R. Reed and Jon Holt, former employees of the Company, to resolve all matters related to the lawsuit against the Company. Under the terms of the settlement, without admitting fault or liability of any kind, the Company has agreed to pay in installments a total of $159,416 to Randall R. Reed and Jon Holt and their attorneys. These individuals have agreed to dismiss the lawsuits with no ability to reassert its claims against the Company. Additionally, Randall R. Reed, Jon Holt and the Company have agreed to release each other from all claims arising out of or related to the lawsuit. An estimate of $160,000 for the settlement was accrued by the Company at December 31, 2010.

The following table is the payment schedule related to the settlement:

2011	$	99,416
2012		60,000

NOTE K – CONCENTRATION RISKS

The Company primarily engages in the distribution of bio-plastic products in the United States from a supplier in China. The Company’s products are mainly sold to domestic distributors. The following tables depict revenues and expenditures to major customers and suppliers with greater than 10% of their respective totals.

a. Major Customers

The following table summarizes sales to major customers (each 10% or more of revenues):

	Revenue from		Receivable as		Percentage of
Year ended December 31, 2010	the customer		of 12/31/10		total sales
Bunzl and its affiliates	$	1,719,813	$	191,702		64	%
Unified Management		260,701		435		10	%

	Revenue from		Receivable as		Percentage of
Year ended December 31, 2009	the customer		of 12/31/09		total sales
Bunzl and its affiliates	$	1,549,187	$	190,083		71	%

Over 50% of our revenue is derived from Bunzl Distribution USA, Inc. (Bunzl) and its affiliates. If Bunzl were to terminate or materially reduce, for any reason, its business relationship with us, our operating results would be materially harmed.

b. Major Suppliers

The table following summarizes purchases from major suppliers (each 10% or more of purchases):

	Purchases from		Payable as		Percentage of
Year ended December 31, 2010	the vendor		of 12/31/10		total purchases
Zwest	$	1,554,389	$	801,531		99	%

	Purchases from		Payable as		Percentage of
Year ended December 31, 2009	the vendor		of 12/31/09		total purchases
Zwest	$	1,371,356	$	397,450		99	%

The Company is dependent upon a single manufacturer, located in the People’s Republic of China (the "PRC"), for over 90% of the products the Company sells. Each shipment of the products could be delayed, waylaid, rerouted, stolen, lost or damaged, each of which could affect the performance and profitability of the Company. The Company may also face increased pressure for the supply of finished products that are produced by the manufacturer, as a result of increased demand and competitors seeking to displace the Company. The Company may also face pressure by the manufacturer to pay the outstanding amounts due before any shipments of products are made to the Company. This would substantially inhibit our ability to deliver product to our customers.

NOTE L – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Stock Split

In August 2011, the Company reincorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. In connection with the reincorporation, the Company became authorized to issue 120,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, $0.001 par value, and 20,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, $0.001 par value. As of September 15, 2011, the Company effected a one-for-two reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. All share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements and notes thereto, have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split.

Common Stock

The Company has 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized. Each share of Common Stock has a par value of $0.001.

From time to time, we issue Common Stock as compensation to employees and outside consultants for their services provided to the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company granted 222,500 fully vested shares of Common Stock to key employees as compensation with an aggregate fair value of $222,500 which was expensed in the period they were granted.

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company granted 56,000 shares and 67,125 shares of Common Stock to non-employees for services with an aggregate fair value of $56,000 and $67,125, respectively.

Preferred Stock:

The Company has 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized. Each share of the Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001. 8,000,000 of these preferred shares were designated as Seed Series Preferred Stock and they are convertible into the Company’s common shares at the option of the holder at an initial conversion price of $1.00 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment if the Company issues any additional preferred shares for less than $1.00 per share. The holders of Seed Series Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends at a rate of $0.06 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Seed Series Preferred Stock, payable quarterly when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends shall not be cumulative. The Company evaluated the conversion feature of Seed Series Preferred Stock under ASU 815-15 and concluded the conversion feature qualifies for derivative accounting. For the period these Seed Series Preferred Stock are outstanding, we concluded the mark to market adjustment to be insignificant to our financial statements. During July 2011, all preferred stock has been converted to common stock at $1.00 per share.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, 178,488 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock were issued at their grant date fair value of $0.50 per share to repay an outstanding loan in the amount of $75,000 and accrued interest of $14,244.
