PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

General

 

Tree Top Industries, Inc. (“TTI”, “Tree Top”, “we”. “our”, “us”, “the Company”, “management”) is a Nevada corporation which has been operating under several different names since 1980.

 

Western Exploration, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed on July 24, 1980. In 1990, Western Exploration, Inc. changed its name to Nugget Exploration, Inc.  On November 10, 1999, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nugget Exploration, Inc., Nugget Holdings Corporation merged with and into GoHealthMD, Inc., a Delaware corporation.  Shortly thereafter, Nugget Exploration, Inc. changed its name to GoHealthMD, Inc. a Nevada corporation.

 

On August 18, 2004, GoHealthMD, Inc., the Nevada Corporation, changed its name to Tree Top Industries, Inc.  GoHealthMD, Inc. continues to exist as a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Tree Top Industries, Inc. MLN, Inc., BioEnergy Applied Technologies, Inc. (“BAT”), Universal Energy and Services Group, Inc. Sky Entertainment, Inc., Eye Care Centers International, Inc., GoHealthMD Nano Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and TTI Strategic Acquisitions and Equity Group, Inc. are also wholly owned subsidiaries of Tree Top Industries, Inc. Several of these subsidiaries have been formed by Tree Top in the anticipation of technologies, products or services being acquired. Not all subsidiaries are currently active.

 

Effective August 12, 2009, Tree Top completed a stock exchange with BAT, BioEnergy Systems Management Inc., Wimase Limited and Energetic Systems Inc., LLC. whereby Tree Top acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of BAT.   BAT is the originator of various proprietary, clean-tech, environmentally friendly technologies and intellectual properties in the areas of hazardous waste destruction, energetic materials, chemical recycling processes, and coal gasification.  BAT also maintains unique electrolytic technology that simplifies the production of bio fuels, specifically biodiesel and its byproducts.   Tree Top acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of BAT.  Tree Top issued 3,500,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per share, to the stockholders of BAT in exchange for the transfer of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of BAT by such stockholders.

 

BAT was acquired to exploit its key intellectual properties, which have been applied to the construction of systems and equipment designed to facilitate the destruction of pharmaceutical, medical, biological, chemical, red bag and other hazardous wastes, with clean reusable energy produced as a byproduct.  The system utilizes cold plasma technology to initiate a chemical reaction inside the unit.  The chemical reaction causes enough heat to facilitate the waste destruction, resulting in a drastically reduced carbon footprint, as no incineration is needed.   The energy needed to start the process is the equivalent of only five light bulbs, resulting in a significantly lower cost of operation.  The unit is relatively compact, can be retrofitted into existing structures or made mobile for smaller venues, and can be scaled up to meet the hazardous waste destruction needs of almost any user.  Tree Top is actively engaged in developing a business platform to showcase the BAT technologies, and will spend the majority of its resources in support of this opportunity.

 

The Company also owns NetThruster, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“NetThruster”), which was formally known as Ludicrous, Inc. (“Ludicrous”).  On January 28, 2011, the Board of Directors of Tree Top adopted resolutions approving the disposition by the Company of all of the common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, NetThruster, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NetThruster”), in a spin-off to Tree Top’s shareholders on a pro rata basis (the “Spin-Off”).  Thereafter, NetThruster would be owned by Tree Top’s shareholders. David Reichman, the CEO of Tree Top was named Chairman of the Board, CEO and CFO of NetThruster.  Kathy M. Griffin was named a Director and corporate secretary. The Board of Directors of NetThruster is comprised of David Reichman and Kathy Griffin.  On February 9, 2011, Tree Top entered into a distribution agreement with NetThruster (the “Distribution Agreement”).  The Spin-Off is governed by the Distribution Agreement.  A copy of the Distribution Agreement is attached hereto as exhibit 10.5.  The Spin-Off was disclosed in a Form 8–K, filed on February 9, 2011, which announced that the NetThruster division would be spun-off into a separate entity.

Tree Top owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of NetThruster.  NetThruster currently had no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.  Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, Tree Top had agreed to distribute all of the common stock of NetThruster to Tree Top’s shareholders, such that each shareholder of record of Tree Top common stock on February 14, 2011 (the “Distribution Record Date”) would receive one share of the common stock of NetThruster for every share of Tree Top’s common stock owned by such shareholder.  Each Tree Top shareholder must have proof of ownership of the Tree Top common stock in order to be eligible to receive the distribution of the common stock of NetThruster in the Spin-Off.  Tree Top expected to make the distribution for the Spin-Off on or before March 10, 2011. Subsequent to that date, Tree Top, upon authorization and a resolution from the Board of Directors, decided to postpone the spin-off indefinitely until management had more time and the information needed to effectively calculate the cost and possible result of such spin-off.

 

 On April 18, 2011, Tree Top signed a non-binding term sheet agreement with Sky Corporation, doo, a Belgrade, Serbia based event production and management company. Sky Corporation is a distributor of professional musical equipment across the Adriatic region, and is the largest retailer of musical instruments and equipment in Serbia. Sky Corporation is a distributor for over 80 brands in the fields of music and light equipment. Sky Solutions doo, a division of Sky Corporation, is one of the largest production companies in Eastern Europe. Adriatic Region Distribution doo, a division of Sky Corporation, is a regional distribution company for musical and sound/light equipment. Sky Music, doo is another division of Sky Corporation. Sky Music, doo’s main activity is selling professional audio and light equipment, as well as installing it in discothèques, clubs, public institutions, venues, and concert halls. Sky Corporation’s growth plan calls for double digit growth over the next three years and a planned expansion into the rest of Eastern Europe and eventually to Western Europe. The term agreement expired on July 18, 2011, but Tree Top and Sky Corporation signed an extension to the Letter of Intent on November 15, 2011.

 

On May 24, 2011, Tree Top signed an engagement letter with PIN Financial, LLC. PIN Financial was engaged by Tree Top to use their best efforts to successfully complete a private placement of the securities of Tree Top for the purposes of a bridge loan and a capital raise. On January 9, 2012, Tree Top disengaged with PIN Financial, for lack of performance on the part of PIN Financial. No payment was made by Tree Top to PIN Financial and the two parties mutually disengaged on the above mentioned date.

 

On May 25, 2011, Tree Top signed a licensing agreement with WorldWithoutBlindness (“WWB”) for the right to market and sell their patented eye screening equipment on a global basis outside the United States, for a period of two years. Eye Care Centers International, Inc. was formed to support the further growth and development of (“WWB”), an organization whose primary mission is to bring patented eye screening equipment to the developing world. The WWB technology uses objective parameters instead of traditional subjective eye chart examinations, to screen children as young as six months old. The screening can accurately indicate predisposition for glaucoma and other eye diseases which can lead to blindness, as well as a host of other possible diseases, completely unrelated to eyesight. Tree Top’s management, upon approval by the board of directors, made a trip to Canar, Ecuador, among other cities, to observe how how the test markets would be set up.

 

On October 12, 2011, Tree Top signed a binding term sheet agreement with Adesso Biosciences, Ltd. to acquire 93% of the outstanding stock of Adesso Diagnostics, LLC and 47.5% of the outstanding stock of Adeda Therapeutics, Ltd., both subsidiaries of Adesso Biosciences Ltd. Adesso Diagnostics is the holder of an exclusive license with Columbia University for two patents in the fields of molecular science and nanoscience. Adeda Therapeutics is involved in the development of a novel sinus medication system. Tree Top and Adesso Biosciences are presently engaged in the mutual due diligence phase of the acquisition, with an expected close during the second quarter of 2012.

History

 

Western Exploration, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed on July 24, 1980.  In 1990, Western Exploration, Inc. changed its name to Nugget Exploration, Inc.  On November 10, 1999, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nugget Exploration, Inc., Nugget Holdings Corporation merged with and into GoHealthMD, Inc., a Delaware corporation.  Shortly thereafter, Nugget Exploration, Inc. changed its name to GoHealthMD, Inc. a Nevada corporation.

 

On August 18, 2004, GoHealthMD, Inc., the Nevada Corporation, changed its name to Tree Top Industries, Inc.  GoHealthMD, Inc. continues to exist as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tree Top Industries, Inc. NetThruster, Inc., MLN, Inc. BioEnergy Applied Technologies, Inc., Universal Energy and Services Group, Inc. Sky Entertainment, Inc. , Eye Care Centers International, Inc., GoHealthMD Nano Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and TTI Strategic Acquisitions and Equity Group, Inc. are also wholly owned subsidiaries of Tree Top Industries, Inc.

 

Effective October 19, 2007, TTI entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with all of the stockholders of Ludicrous pursuant to which TTI agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Ludicrous from the stockholders in consideration for the issuance of a total of 68,000,000 newly issued shares of TTI’s common stock, allocated among the stockholders of Ludicrous on a pro rata basis.  Accordingly, after the closing of the stock exchange on November 1, 2007 as contemplated by the Agreement, Ludicrous became a wholly owned subsidiary of TTI, and the prior shareholders of Ludicrous became the majority shareholders of TTI.  In the Agreement, the stockholders of Ludicrous agreed to confer upon a designee of TTI, voting power over their shares of TTI’s common stock acquired by them for a period equal to the lesser of (i) two years or (ii) the sale of the common stock by the stockholder in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.  However, the shares of the two (2) largest stockholders, James Black, and The Davis Family, who held an aggregate of over 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Ludicrous, were each required to execute a two (2) year lock-up agreement. The business combination between TTI and Ludicrous closed on November 1, 2007, and David Reichman, the Chief Executive Officer of TTI, was designated by TTI to be the voting trustee for 68,000,000 outstanding shares of TTI currently owned by the prior stockholders of Ludicrous.  Subsequently, due to the departure of James Black and the non-development and deployment of the technology, approximately 72% or 49,000,000 shares were cancelled and or returned to the Company.

On April 24, 2009, Tree Top entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with BAT, BioEnergy Systems Management Inc ., Wimase Limited and Energetic Systems Inc., LLC.  Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of BAT.   The acquisition resulted in BAT becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Exchange Agreement called for the issuance of a total of 3,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share, in exchange for the transfer of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of BAT to the Company.

 

BAT is the originator and incubator of environmentally friendly technologies useful in the areas of energetic materials, chemicals and chemical processes, gasification, and the safe and novel destruction of biological and other hazardous wastes.  The Company has been focused on the incubation growth and commercialization of novel technology platforms designed to address the fundamental limitations of many of today’s technologies and businesses.  The Company will seek to provide key technologies to the biofuels sector, designed to help make biofuels more cost effective and of a higher quality.

 

BAT is also the originator of various proprietary, clean-tech, environmentally-friendly technologies and intellectual properties in the areas of hazardous waste destruction, energetic materials, chemical recycling processes, and coal gasification.  BAT also maintains unique electrolytic technology that simplifies the production of bio fuels, specifically biodiesel and its byproducts.

 

BAT was acquired by Tree Top in August of 2009 in order to exploit its key intellectual properties, which have been applied to the construction of systems and equipment designed to facilitate the destruction of pharmaceutical, medical, biological, chemical, red bag and other hazardous wastes, with clean reusable energy produced as a byproduct.  The system utilizes cold plasma technology to initiate a chemical reaction inside the unit.  The chemical reaction causes enough heat to facilitate the waste destruction, resulting in a drastically reduced carbon footprint, as no incineration is needed.   The energy needed to start the process is the equivalent of only five light bulbs, resulting in a significantly lower cost of operation.  The unit is relatively compact, can be retrofitted into existing structures or made mobile for smaller venues, and can be scaled up to meet the hazardous waste destruction needs of almost any user.

 

Research and Development

 

Although Tree Top’s staff is limited, it continues to monitor new developments and any emerging technologies.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Tree Top’s success depends in part upon it’s ability to protect it’s core technology and other intellectual capital. To accomplish this, Tree Top relies on a combination of intellectual property rights, including patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, domain registrations and contractual protections. With the acquisition of Adesso Biosciences, Tree Top will acquire two patents, associated intellectual properties, and other proprietary information in the field of molecular science.

 

With the acquisition of BAT, Tree Top acquired fifteen (15) intellectual properties pertaining to the construction of the mobile configuration and operation of the glyd-arc medical waste destruction unit, as well as an enhanced configuration and novel method for coal gasification.

 

As of December 31, 2011, Tree Top had received no patents in the United States and no patents in foreign jurisdictions.  Tree Top has no pending patent applications in the United States and no pending patent applications in foreign jurisdictions.  It had received no trademarks and had no pending trademark applications in the United States. It had no pending trademark applications in foreign countries and no non-U.S. trademark applications had been issued.

 

Tree Top generally controls access to and use of its software and other confidential information through (a) the use of internal and external controls, including physical and electronic security, contractual protections with employees, contractors, customers and partners, and (b) domestic and foreign copyright laws.

 

Government Regulation

 

BAT

 

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), no registration of the BAT system is required because the waste destruction process does not involve incineration.  Incineration processes are subject to regulation by the EPA.  However, any hazardous waste destruction system that is constructed will be subject to the state laws and regulations where the system is located, as well as any regulations pertaining to the storage, transporting and/or destroying hazardous waste.   BAT is also subject to government laws and regulations governing health, safety, working conditions, employee relations, wrongful termination, wages, taxes and other matters applicable to businesses in general.

NetThruster

 

NetThruster is subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting the telecommunications and Internet industries.  Laws and regulations that apply to communications and commerce conducted over the Internet are becoming more prevalent, both in the United States and internationally, and may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online or providing Internet-related services such as ours. The laws relating to the liability of private network operators for information carried on or disseminated through their networks are unsettled, both in the United States and abroad. Network operators have been sued in the past, sometimes successfully, based on the content of material disseminated through their networks. The Federal Trade Commission and equivalent state agencies regulate advertising and representations made by businesses in the sale of their products, which apply to us.  NetThruster is also subject to government laws and regulations governing health, safety, working conditions, employee relations, wrongful termination, wages, taxes and other matters applicable to businesses in general. 

 

GoHealthMD Nano Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

Governmental authorities in the U.S. and other countries extensively regulate the research, development, testing, manufacture, labeling, promotion, advertising, distribution and marketing, among other things, of biologic products. All of our foreseeable product candidates are expected to be regulated.

 

In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulates drug products under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and other laws within the Public Health Service Act. Failure to comply with applicable U.S. requirements, both before and after approval, may subject us to administrative and judicial sanctions, such as a delay in approving or refusal by the FDA to approve pending applications, warning letters, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, and/or criminal prosecutions. Before our biologic products are marketed they must be approved by the FDA. The steps required before a novel product is approved by the FDA include: (1) pre-clinical laboratory, animal, and formulation tests; (2) submission to the FDA of an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) for human clinical testing, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin; (3) adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to establish the safety and effectiveness of the product for each indication for which approval is sought; (4) submission to the FDA of a New Drug Application (“NDA”); (5) satisfactory completion of a FDA inspection of the manufacturing facility or facilities at which the drug product is produced to assess compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”); and FDA review and finally (6) approval of an NDA.

 

Other countries where we are considering developing and marketing our products have similar drug regulation regimes.

 

Competition

 

BAT

 

There are currently no direct competitors offering this new and novel technology into the waste destruction market.   The major companies that deal in hazardous waste management are companies such as Waste Management, Inc.  Those companies treat, haul and store hazardous waste in landfills across the country.  Some companies destroy hazardous waste, or any carbon based waste in general, through incineration, which produces a significant carbon footprint and can be as expensive as the storing model.  The BAT technology would destroy the hazardous waste completely through the use of a chemical process, which involves minor energy output to begin, and produces no carbon footprint at the end.  The competitive disadvantage for the BAT process is that it is uncommercialized technology at present, which makes the process of acquiring adequate funding more difficult.

NetThruster

 

The content delivery network market is highly competitive and is characterized by constantly declining prices and multiple types of vendors offering varying combinations of computing and bandwidth to content providers. A few of NetThruster’s current competitors, as well as a number of NetThruster’s potential competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, broader customer relationships and industry alliances, and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. NetThruster’s primary competitors include content delivery service providers such as Limelight Networks, Akamai, Level 3 Communications and Internap Network Services Corporation, which acquired VitalStream. Also, as a result of the growth of the content delivery market, a number of companies are attempting to enter the market, either directly or indirectly, some of which may become significant competitors of NetThruster in the future. Internationally, NetThruster competes with local content delivery service providers, many of which are very well positioned within their local markets.

 

We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting the content delivery market include such attributes as:

 

Performance, as measured by file delivery time and end-user media consumption rates;

 

Scalability; both in terms of average capacity and special event capacity;

 

Proprietary software designed to efficiently locate and deliver large media files;

 

Ease of implementation;

 

Flexibility in designing delivery systems for unique content types and mixes;

 

Reliability; and

 

Cost efficiency.

 

Because of the above situation, our continued inability to raise sufficient capital and our focus on the BAT technology, we ceased further development of the NetThruster technology.  Furthermore, on January 28, 2011, the Board of Directors of TreeTop adopted resolutions approving the disposition by the Company of all of the common stock of NetThruster in the Spin-Off.  However, Tree Top management, upon a resolution by the board of directors, decided to postpone the spin-off of NetThruster indefinitely.

 

GoHealthMD Nano Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

This subsidiary has been organized for the future acquisition of companies involved in the treatment of human disease through nanotechnology and molecular diagnostics. However, such acquisitions have not yet been completed. Therefore this subsidiary is currently inactive with no operations. However, other companies, such as Nanoshpere, Inc., are in the treatment of human disease through nanotechnology and the molecular diagnostics industry.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2011, we employed two people on a full-time basis.   Both employees are in executive positions. We project that during the next 12 months, our workforce is likely to increase.  To support our need for technical staffing, we have established relationships with technical staffing organizations that continuously offer qualified personnel to meet our requirements.

 

Seasonality

 

Our operations are not expected to be affected by seasonal fluctuations, although our cash flow may be affected by fluctuations in the timing of cash receipts from our potential future customers.

Sales of Our Unregistered Securities during 2011 Not Previously Disclosed

 

 On February 18, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of common stock to a Tree Top investor and shareholder for the continued use of his apartment in New York City by the president. The issuance was valued at $48,200, the market price at the date of authorization.

 

During March 2011, the Company agreed to settle the outstanding balance due to the Crone Law group and recorded an additional vesting of the shares held by them, that had been deferred, and recorded consulting expense of $64,107. This left a balance of unused and unearned shares of 1,500,000 shares for future issuance to cover additional fees. In April 2011, the 1,500,000 shares were cancelled and returned to the Company.

 

On June 6, 2011, the Company accepted the return of 3,500,000 shares held in escrow, and re-issued them to a Note Holder as payment on a $25,000 note with accrued interest of $1,647. The number of shares issued were within the terms of the convertible note agreement therefore no gain or loss was recorded on the conversion.

 

The recording of the beneficial conversion features on the convertible notes discussed previously required an increase in paid in capital in the amount of $75,000.

 

On August 16, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 57,940,000 shares of common stock to the officers, directors for the cancellation of all outstanding options, and 8,000,000 shares to consultants to the Company for services rendered. The Company recorded an expense of $115,201 in connection with the issuance of shares for options, which is the difference between the value of the options at the cancellation date and the value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company also recorded $60,000 in connection with the shares issued to the consultants. On this same day the board authorized the issuance of 5,000,000 common shares to Highest Star for the continued use of their office in Burbank California. This issuance was recorded as rent expense in the amount of $37,500, the market price on the date of grant.

 

On November 14, 2011, the Board of Directors approved the cancellation of the 5,000,000 shares held for issuance to various colleges and universities as approved in September 2010. The universities had no yet accepted the issuances and the Board opted to cancel the shares and return to treasury.

 

Also on November 14, 2011, the company authorized the issuance of 2,941,176 for cash of $25,000 pursuant to the Adesso agreement disclosed in this annual report.

 

On December 21, 2011, the company authorized the issuance of 1,200,000 shares to the transfer agent for services to be included in 2012. The share issuance was valued at $36,000, the market value on the day of grant, and has been deferred until the services have been performed in 2012.

 

On December 28, 2011, the Board authorized the issuance of 1,500,000 shares to a consultant, valued at $45,000, the market value on the day of grant.

 

On December 29, 2011, the Board authorized the issuance of 12,700,000 to various consultants of the Company for services performed or to be performed in 2012. The issuance was valued at $378,000, however $99,990 was deferred compensation to be recorded in 2012 when the services are performed.

 

On December 29, 2011, the Board authorized the issuance of 20,000,000 shares to the Company’s Employee Stock Option Trust account. The issuance was valued at $600,000, the fair market price listed on the day of issuance. Pursuant to the guidance in SOP 93-6, the value of the shares issued into the ESOP account is recorded as a contra equity account rather than an asset.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded imputed interest on a non-interest bearing note in the amount of $13,440, with an increase in paid in capital.

 

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

 

Cautionary Statements

 

This Form 10-K may contain “forward-looking statements,” as that term is used in federal securities laws, about Tree Top’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and business.  These statements include, among others:

 

statements concerning the potential benefits that may be experienced from business activities and certain transactions contemplated or completed; and

 

8
 

 

statements of our expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated developments and other matters that are not historical facts.  These statements may be made expressly in this Form 10-K.  You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “opines,” or similar expressions used in this Form 10-K.  These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied in those statements.  The most important facts that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

a)volatility or decline of Tree Top’s stock price;

 

b)potential fluctuation of quarterly results;

 

c)failure to earn revenues or profits;

 

d)inadequate capital to continue or expand our business, and inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement our business plans;

 

e)failure to commercialize our technology or to make sales;

 

f)decline in demand for our products and services;

 

g)rapid adverse changes in markets;

 

h)litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties against TTI, including but not limited to challenges to intellectual property rights;

 

i)insufficient revenues to cover operating costs; and

 

j)failure of the BAT technology to function properly.

 

There is no assurance that we will be profitable, we may not be able to successfully develop, manage or market our products and services, we may not be able to attract and retain qualified executives and technology personnel, we may not be able to obtain customers for our products or services, our products and services may become obsolete, government regulation may hinder our business, additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock options, or the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options, and other risks inherent in our businesses.

 

Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  We caution you not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-K.  The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.  We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-K, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

In considering the entire waste destruction business and analyzing where the opportunities can be found, it is apparent that the pharmaceutical, medical, biological, chemical, and red bag waste industries should be the best fit for the BAT technology, both from an environmental and a cost structure perspective.

 

While municipal, restaurant and/or household wastes cost upwards of $ .30 per pound to incinerate or store, hazardous waste disposal has been calculated at upwards of $2.00 per pound, without taking the volatility of the price of fuel into account. This is because, in order to comply with governmental and environmental regulations, a work-intensive system of processing, handling, storing, transporting, and finally burying hazardous waste is required at most pharmaceutical companies.   Once hazardous waste has been produced, its disposition is the responsibility of the producer thereafter.  If there is an environmental issue resulting from hazardous waste production, the waste generator is solely responsible.

 

9
 

 

In spite of this, many companies who produce hazardous waste in the pharmaceutical industry and biological / hospital red bag waste area currently use conventional haul-destroy companies and methods to eliminate the waste.   This exposes them to several increased costs, including:

 

environmental costs

 

transportation costs

 

insurance costs

 

storage costs

 

overall handling costs

 

The BAT technology allows companies to destroy hazardous material streams in-line before they exit the consolidated system, and therefore such companies never become hazardous waste generators. This provides a commercial solution for the processing of hazardous waste in-house and on demand at local sites. Byproducts from the system are essentially water and carbon dioxide, plus trace amounts of organics. The system specifically eliminates oxides of nitrogen, chlorine gas, and other toxic gasses typically produced by conventional incinerators.  The process is completely “green”, converting all the waste into water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.  And, the technology allows for the potential capturing of reusable energy.  This excess energy, in the form of heat, can be utilized within other facility operations.

 

In the next twelve months, Tree Top plans to target the pharmaceutical industry on a global basis.  In the United States alone, the top pharmaceutical companies produce upwards of 600,000,000 pounds of active pharmaceutical intermediates waste per year. That translates into over $1.2 billion dollars of cost connected to the management of hazardous waste.  Tree Top will be taking steps to produce several working demonstration units that can be showcased to the pharmaceutical industry.  We will be actively seeking partners who may want to share the cost of building the units and testing them at their facilities. On the international side, we have acquired a strategic partner, Asia Pacific Capital, who will be making introductions for us to industry insiders in Vietnam and China.  We are also actively pursuing, through partnerships with other individuals, government agencies to position us in front of possible funding partners.

 

This plan is totally dependent on the Chairman, David Reichman’s continued support, as well as our ability to raise capital.  Execution of the business plan is subject to this constraint as well as the finding of sufficient funding.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

We realized revenues of $-0-during the year ended December 31, 2011. We presently do not have a steady source of revenue. Our operating expenses decreased from $27,053,670 in 2010 to $1,618,304 in 2011. The decrease was primarily the result of stock compensation expenses to officers, directors and consultants. General and administrative expenses decreased from $592,644 to $413,226 or 30%. Compensation and professional fees decreased by $25,254,654, due to the decrease in the value of the stock compensation given to each.   Depreciation expense decreased from $34,056 to $32,762.

 

Our net loss decreased by $25,426,455 from $27,115,709 in 20110 to $1,689,254 in 2011. This translates to a $.16 decrease in loss per share from $(0.17) in 2010 to $(0.01) in 2011. Included in our net loss was $681,508 and $25,637,647 for the value of common stock and common stock purchase warrants and options which were issued in 2011 and 2010 respectively. Excluding these non cash expenses, our net loss would have been $1,020,236 and $1,478,063, respectively. We expect that our losses will continue to be approximately $100,000 per month until we are able to establish a reliable revenue flow.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At December 31, 2011 we had cash on hand of $517 compared to $2,674 at December 31, 2010. We used cash in our operations of $314,036 in 2011 compared to $513,739 in 2010, a 39% decrease. We also used cash of $0 in 2011 in our investing activities compared to net cash used of $186,532 in 2010, due to the loan we made to GeoGreen. GeoGreen BioFuels is a start-up company in Vernon, CA. creating Bio-Diesel fuels from processing of restaurant waste-oils. We raised $25,000 and $52,575 from the sale of our common stock or exercises of stock options in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Additionally, we raised $369,345 and $574,464 from related party loans in 2011 and 2010, and $75,000 and $192,000 from other notes payable, respectively. We anticipate that we will continue to have a negative cash flow from operations of approximately $100,000 per month for 2012. We do not have sufficient cash on hand at December 31, 2011 to cover our negative cash flow. We will attempt to raise capital through the sale of our common stock or through debt financing.

 

Some of Tree Top’s past due obligations, including $338,000 of accounts payable, and $113,000 of notes payable and judgments, some of which are duplicative, were incurred or obtained prior to 2005.  No actions have been taken by any of the applicable creditors.  Action by any such creditor would materially decrease our liquidity.  Tree Top has no credit facilities with which to resolve these outstanding obligations from prior years, but will fully resolve them upon a successful capital raise and monetary action of the business.   This may have a negative impact on our future liquidity in the event we must prioritize the repayment of these obligations when capital becomes available.  Tree Top shall attempt to negotiate favorable repayment schedules, if and when any applicable creditor takes any collection related actions. In addition, there is an amount due to officers and Directors equal to $3,186,130 as of December 31, 2011 and $2,409,012 as of December 31, 2010 respectively, which may increase if such officers and/or Directors continue to provide additional sums of money and/or services that are payable upon demand.  Our liquidity would decrease materially if any such officer or Director demanded repayment.  These loans must be considered in any capital raise and could continue to restrict our liquidity upon such capital raise if repayment is thereby demanded. Tree Top shall attempt to cause these officers and Directors to request repayment in a way as to not materially harm Tree Top’s liquidity.

 

Any remedy to our current lack of liquidity must take into account all the foregoing liabilities.  Tree Top intends to continue its pursuit to raise capital in order to monetize its business and pay all its liabilities.  Capital raise plans are under consideration but it cannot be assured that they will materialize in the current economic environment.  Currently, Tree Top is without adequate financing or assets.  Because no actions have been taken on the aforementioned past due obligations and demand has not been made by the applicable officers or Directors, we are unable to accurately quantify the effect the overdue accounts have on Tree Top’s financial condition, liquidity and capital resources.  However, in the event that all of these obligations and notes payable were required to be paid in an amount equal to the full balance of each, Tree Top would not be able to meet the obligations based upon its current financial status.   The liquidity shortfall of $4,644,505 would cause Tree Top to default and, further, would put our continued viability in jeopardy.

 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These principles require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, cash flow and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates include those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable reserves, income and other taxes, stock-based compensation and equipment and contingent obligations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.

 

We define our “critical accounting policies” as those U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that require us to make subjective estimates about matters that are uncertain and are likely to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations as well as the specific manner in which we apply those principles. Our estimates are based upon assumptions and judgments about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made and applied and require us to continually assess a range of potential outcomes. A detailed discussion of the critical accounting policies that most affect our company is located in Footnote 2 of the notes to our financial statements.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Tree Top Industries, Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tree Top Industries, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tree Top Industries, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Tree Top Industries, Inc. will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Tree Top Industries, Inc. has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a working capital deficit and is dependent on financing to continue operations. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

A)           HISTORY

 

Western Exploration, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed on July 24, 1980.  In 1990, Western Exploration, Inc. changed its name to Nugget Exploration, Inc.  On November 10, 1999, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nugget Exploration, Inc., Nugget Holdings Corporation merged with and into GoHealthMD, Inc., a Delaware corporation.  Shortly thereafter, Nugget Exploration, Inc. changed its name to GoHealthMD, Inc. a Nevada corporation.

 

On August 18, 2004, GoHealthMD, Inc., the Nevada Corporation, changed its name to Tree Top Industries, Inc.  GoHealthMD, Inc. continues to exist as a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Tree Top Industries, Inc. NetThruster, Inc., BioEnergy Applied Technologies, Inc., Universal Energy and Services Group, Inc. and International Eye Care Centers, Inc. are also wholly owned subsidiaries of Tree Top Industries, Inc.

 

On April 24, 2009, the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with BioEnergy Applied Technologies Inc., a Nevada corporation (“BAT”), BioEnergy Systems Management Inc., Wimase Limited and Energetic Systems Inc., LLC.  Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of BAT.  The acquisition resulted in BAT becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company upon closing. The Exchange Agreement calls for the issuance of a total of 3,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.0001 per share, in exchange for the transfer of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of BAT to the Company.

 

BAT is the originator and incubator of environmentally friendly technologies useful in the areas of energetic materials, chemicals and chemical processes, gasification, and the safe and novel destruction of biological and other hazardous wastes.  The Company has been focused on the incubation growth and commercialization of novel technology platforms designed to address the fundamental limitations of many of today’s technologies and businesses.  The Company will seek to provide key technologies to the biofuels sector, designed to help make biofuels more cost effective and of a higher quality.

 

The Company has not realized significant revenues as of December 31, 2011 and is classified as a development stage enterprise in accordance with ASC 915.

 

B)            GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $1,689,254 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and has an accumulated deficit of $143,560,831. During 2010 the Company incurred losses totaling $27,115,709 and is in default on several notes payable (see Note 5). The Company also has negative working capital of $4,644,505 and $3,776,118 at the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and negative cash flow from operations of $314,036 and $513,739.

 

Since inception (August 1, 2007) through December 31, 2011, the Company has not generated any significant business. Through the date of these financial statements viable operations have not been achieved and the Company has been unsuccessful in raising all the capital that it requires. The Company has had no revenues and requires substantial financing. Most of the financing has been provided by David Reichman, the present Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.  The Company is dependent upon his ability and willingness to continue to provide such financing which is required to meet reporting and filing requirements of a public company.

 

In order for the Company to remain a going concern, it will need to continue to receive funds from equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to receive any proceeds from equity offerings or that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary funds to finance its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A)           PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ludicrous, Inc., BioEnergy Applied Technologies Inc., GoHealthMD, Inc., MLN, Inc., Universal Energy and Services Group, Inc. Sky Entertainment, Inc., Eye Care Centers International, Inc., GoHealthMD Nano Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and TTI Strategic Acquisitions and Equity Group, Inc. All subsidiaries of the Company currently have no financial activity. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

B)           USE OF MANAGEMENT’S 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These financial statements have material estimates for valuation of stock and option transactions.

 

21
 

 

C)           CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major financial institutions in the U S. Deposits held with these banks at times exceed $250,000 of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, no excess existed. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

D)           FIXED ASSETS

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 3 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the economic life of the asset. Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred.

 

E)           INCOME TAXES

 

The Company applies ASC 740 which requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  The asset and liability method requires that the current or deferred tax consequences of all events recognized in the financial statements are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be recovered.

 

The Company adopted ASC 740 at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach, requiring the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The adoption of ASC 740 had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are  reduced by a  valuation  allowance  when,  in the opinion  of  management,  it is more  likely  than not  that  some portion or all of the deferred  tax assets will to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

F)           REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

We recognize service revenues in accordance with the SEC’s ASC 605 Revenue Recognition and Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Revenue is recognized when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. At the inception of a customer contract for service, we make an assessment as to that customer’s ability to pay for the services provided. If we subsequently determine that collection from that customer is not reasonably assured, we record an allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense for all of that customer’s unpaid invoices and cease recognizing revenue for continued services provided until cash is received.

 

G)           STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.  ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward- known as the requisite service period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments.

 

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair values as determined in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 595, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services”, and are periodically revalued as the stock options vest and are recognized as expense over the related service period.

 

H)           INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

The Company adopted ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, and ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, effective June 2001 and revised in December 2007. ASC 805 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for any business combinations initiated after June 30, 2002, and further clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. Under ASC 350, goodwill and indefinite−life intangible assets are no longer amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually.

 

With the acquisition of BAT, Tree Top acquired fifteen (15) intellectual properties pertaining to the construction of the mobile configuration and operation of the glyd-arc medical waste destruction unit, as well as an enhanced configuration and novel method for coal gasification. These intangibles have an undefined life as the intellectual property has yet to be commercialized. However, because there are no comparable properties, and because there is no cash-flow being generated from these intangibles, the Company could not determine a fair value at December 31, 2009 and therefore recorded an impairment of the entire capitalized value of $2,275,000.

 

22
 

 

I)           FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

£ Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

  £ Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

  £ Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

The following table presents the Company’s Notes Payable within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:

  

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Notes payable — 2011   -0-    -0-   $647,860 
Notes payable — 2010   -0-    -0-   $597,860 

 

The following table presents a Level 3 reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:

 

   Notes payable 
Balance, December 31, 2009  $405,860 
Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (net)   192,000 
Balance, December 31, 2010   597,860 
Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (net)   50,000 
Balance, December 31, 2011  $647,860 

 

J)           BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

 

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Computation of Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period; only in periods in which such effect is dilutive. For 2011 and 2010, 0 and 61,500,000 , common equivalent shares were excluded from the calculation as their effects are anti-dilutive, respectively. The ESOP shares issued during 2011 and 2010 have also been excluded from the calculation as they were issued but not outstanding.

 

   For the Years Ended 
   December 31, 
   2011   2010 
Loss (numerator)  $(1,689,254)  $(27,115,709)
Shares (denominator)   280,493,899    142,966,429 
Basic and diluted loss per share  $(0.01)  $(0.19)

 

K)           RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU") 2011-11 “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendments in this Update require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

23
 

  

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Goodwill for Impairment”. Under the amendments in this Update, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit, as described in paragraph 350-20-35-4. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any, as described in paragraph 350-20-35-9. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05,” Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. The objective of this Update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the FASB decided to eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, among other amendments in this Update. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, which is included in the Codification under ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. The amendments in this Update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the Board does not intend for the amendments in this Update to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820.Some of the amendments clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.. The adoption of ASU 2010-11 by the Company is not expected to not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-11, which is included in the Codification under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). This update clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Only an embedded credit derivative that is related to the subordination of one financial instrument to another qualifies for the exemption. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements

 

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”) as amendments to certain recognition and disclosure requirements. The amendments remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. Those amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature. All of the amendments in ASU 2010-09 were effective upon issuance for interim and annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2010-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

24
 

 

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements. This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers. Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset de-recognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. Adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-02 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. Effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis. Adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-01 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

L)           Beneficial Conversion Feature of Debentures and Convertible Notes Payable

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, we recognize the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible debt. Such rights give the debt holder the ability to convert his debt into common stock at a price per share that is less than the trading price to the public on the day the loan is made to us. The beneficial value is calculated as the intrinsic value (the market price of the stock at the commitment date in excess of the conversion rate) of the beneficial conversion feature of the debentures and related accruing interest, and is recorded as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid in capital. The discount is amortized over the remaining outstanding period of related debt using the interest method.

NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES – IN DEFAULT

 

(a)NOTES PAYABLE:

 

Notes payable consist of various notes bearing interest at rates from 5% to 9%, which are unsecured with original due dates between August 2000 and September 2011. All of the notes are unpaid to date and are in default and are thus classified as current liabilities. At December 31, 2011, notes payable amounted to $647,860. Below is a discussion of the details to the notes payable and a table summarizing the notes owed by the Company.

 

During 2002, the Company settled a trade payable in litigation by executing a note payable to a company on the amount of $18,000, interest accrues at 6% per annum, unsecured, due September 1, 2002, in default.

 

Also during 2002, in settlement of another trade payable, the Company executed a note payable to a Company in the amount of $30,000, interest accrues at 6% per annum, unsecured, due September 12, 2002, in default.

 

During 2000, the company executed a note payable to an individual in the amount of $25,000, interest accrues at 5% per annum, unsecured, due August 31, 2000, in default.

 

In 2002, the Company settled an obligation with a consultant by executing a note payable for $40,000, interest accrues at 7% per annum, unsecured, due July 10, 2002, in default.

 

On December 27, 2009, the Company executed a note payable to an individual for various advances to the Company in the amount of $292,860, interest accrues at 9% per annum, unsecured, and is due upon demand after 6 months of execution. No demand has been made as of the date of these financial statements.

 

In January 27, 2010, the Company executed a note payable to a corporation in the amount of $192,000, bears no interest and is due on demand after 6 months of execution and is unsecured. No demand has been made at the date of these financial statements. Interest expense in the amount of $12,446 has been imputed for this note. An offsetting entry to Paid in Capital was made in connection with this adjustment.

 

None of the above notes are convertible or have any covenants.

 

(b)CONVERTIBLE NOTES:

 

During March 2011, the Company engaged in four separate convertible note agreements with two individuals. Because the conversion feature was beneficial, a note discount using the intrinsic value was recorded as a contra liability, with the offsetting entry to paid in capital. The note discount was equal to each respective note principal amount. The discount was accreted over the life of the respective notes using the effective interest method. The accretion was recorded as interest expense in the amount of $75,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. One of the Convertible Notes was converted on June 6, 2011 and is not outstanding at December 31, 2011.The details of the convertible debentures outstanding as of December 31, 2011 are as follows:

 

March 3, 2011 – Convertible Note payable to an individual, payable in stock at double the principal amount on the date of maturity on September 3, 2011, unsecured, interest included in  conversion. Conversion shares limited to total available authorized shares, in default.  $25,000

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, accrued interest on the outstanding notes payable and convertible notes was $134,178 and $99,463, respectively. Interest expense on the outstanding notes amounted to $98,155 and $45,734 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, including the imputed interest discussed above. Total interest expense on outstanding and converted notes amounted to $124,802 and $45,734 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

 

The FASB has issued FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior authoritative literature: Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48)).  FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position.  If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.  As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.  

 

26
 

 

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

 

Deferred tax assets and the valuation account are as follows:

 

   2011   2010 
Deferred tax assets:          
NOL carryover  $3,753,800   $3,377,400 
Valuation allowance   (3,753,800)   (3,377,400)
Net deferred tax asset  $-   $- 

 

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 39% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

The components of income tax expense are as follows:

 

   2011   2010 
Book loss  $(1,689,254)  $(27,115,709)
Stock based compensation   660,508    25,637,647 
Gain on debt settlement   (63,865)   - 
Impairment of assets   -    179,000 
Valuation allowance   1,092,611    1,299,062 
   $-   $- 

 

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 740-10 to account for income taxes. The Company currently has no issues creating timing differences that would mandate deferred tax expense. Net operating losses would create possible tax assets in future years. Due to the uncertainty of the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards, an evaluation allowance has been made to the extent of any tax benefit that net operating losses may generate.  A provision for income taxes has not been made due to net operating loss carry-forwards of $9,625,200 and $8,660,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which may be offset against future taxable income from 2028 through 2032. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements.

 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

 

  December 31, 
  2011   2010 
Beginning balance  $-   $- 
Additions based on tax positions related to current year   -    - 
Additions for tax positions of prior years   -    - 
Reductions for tax positions of prior years   -    - 
Reductions in benefit due to income tax expense   -    - 
Ending balance  $-   $- 

 

The Company did not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

 

27
 

 

The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations in the provision for income taxes.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Management settled this lawsuit on November 30, 2001 and issued a note payable for $18,000 due September 1, 2002 with interest at 6% per annum in full settlement of this claim. As reflected in Notes Payable, the amount due on this note remains unpaid, and management has indicated that it has received no demand for payment from this note holder.

 

The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit from another supplier also alleging nonpayment of amounts owed for services rendered. This lawsuit was settled on May 1, 2002 by issuing a non interest bearing note payable for $25,000 due on September 12, 2002. The Company defaulted on this note, has not paid it to date and received a notice of motion dated October 22, 2002, seeking entry of a judgment for $30,000 plus interest effective December 6, 2002.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission.  David Reichman, our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that all information required to  be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Company’s controls are not effective due to a lack of the segregation of duties.   The Company lacks the appropriate personnel to handle all the varying recording and reporting tasks on a timely basis.   The Company plans to address these material weaknesses as resources become available by hiring additional professional staff, such as a Chief Financial Officer, as funding becomes available, outsourcing certain aspects of the recording and reporting functions, and separating responsibilities.

 

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

 

  £ pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;

 

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

 

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

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The framework our management uses to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is based on the guidance provided by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in its 1992 report: INTERNAL CONTROL – INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK.  Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2011 due to the same material weaknesses that rendered our disclosure controls and procedures ineffective.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is not effective due to a lack of sufficient resources to hire a support staff in order to separate duties between different individuals.  The Company lacks the appropriate personnel to handle all the varying recording and reporting tasks on a timely basis.   The Company plans to address these material weaknesses as resources become available by hiring additional professional staff, such as a Chief Financial Officer, as funding becomes available, outsourcing certain aspects of the recording and reporting functions, and separating responsibilities.

 

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

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

During the year ended December 31, 2011 there was no significant change in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls

 

TTI’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within TTI have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls.  The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 

37
 

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of that our reports will be accurate. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concludes that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at that reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K due to the lack of sufficient segregation of duties and the lack of appropriate personnel.  The Company plans to address these material weaknesses as resources become available by hiring additional professional staff, such as a Chief Financial Officer, as funding becomes available, outsourcing certain aspects of the recording and reporting functions, and separating responsibilities.   Our future reports shall also indicate that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed for this reason and shall indicate the related conclusion by the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer as to their effectiveness.

 

PART III

Board Vacancies

 

In the event of a vacancy on the Board of Directors, the Board will seek to identify and evaluate director candidates. Such evaluation involves (i) soliciting recommendations, (ii) meetings and background material relating to potential candidates and (iii) interviews of selected potential candidates by members of the Board of Directors.

 

In considering whether to recommend any particular candidate for inclusion in the Board of Directors’ slate of recommended director nominees, the Board reviews each potential candidate’s integrity, business acumen, knowledge of our business and industry, experience, diligence, absence of conflicts of interest and the ability to act in the interest of all stockholders. We believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our Directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will best allow the Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities.

 

Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Board for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting their names, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials and a statement as to whether the stockholder or group of stockholders making the recommendation has beneficially owned more than 5% of our common shares for at least a year as of the date such recommendation is made. The recommendation should be sent to the Board of Directors, c/o Frank Benintendo, Secretary, Tree Top Industries, Inc. 511 Sixth Avenue, Suite 800, New York, N.Y. 10011. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates recommended by our Board or others. If the Board of Directors determines to nominate a stockholder-recommended candidate and recommends his or her election, then his or her name will be included in the proxy card for the next annual meeting.

 

Nominating Committee

 

We do not currently have a nominating committee. We feel this is appropriate due to the small size of our company. Therefore, this function is handled directly by the Board of Directors.

 

Audit Committee

 

Our Audit Committee was established in accordance with section 3(a) (58) (A) of the Exchange Act. It is chaired by Donald Gilbert, a former US Treasury/IRS executive. Our Audit Committee does not have charter.  Our Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380),1 and as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T;

 

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountant required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant's independence; and

 

The Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in TTI's annual report on Form 10-K.

The Board determined the compensation for David Reichman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for 2011.  Mr. Reichman’s salary remained at $500,000 for 2011. This is less than the competitive labor market median for someone with his skills and talents, but reflective of the Company’s current cash position. The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Reichman regarding his responsibility for implementing the policies adopted by the Board of Directors    2010 Due to Mr. Reichman’s continued willingness to forego his salary payment while the Company attempts to raise capital, the Board of Directors decided to issue 28,000,000 shares of Tree Top common stock to Mr. Reichman on August 18, 2011.

 

The Board also determined the compensation for Mrs. Griffin, President, based on her undeterred commitment to Tree Top.  Her salary remained at $180,000 in 2011.  Due to the fact that Mrs. Griffin  was willing to forego her salary for the entire year of 2011, and any bonus due her, the Board of Directors issued 19,100,000 shares of common stock to Mrs. Griffin on August 18, 2011. Currently, her salary is less than the competitive labor market median for someone in her position, but reflective of the Company’s current cash position.Employment Agreements
