On November 3, 2005, FFI entered into a fifteen-year land lease with Venture III Associates, renewable for up to 90 years, for an approximate six-acre site in Toms River, New Jersey to build a proposed 52 million gallon waste-to-ethanol production facility in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of FFI common stock. When the facility commences operations FFI will pay Venture III $240,000 dollars annually in equal monthly installments, plus three (3%) percent of the net operating profit of the waste-to-ethanol facility when the facility begins operations. The payment of the 1,000,000 shares of FFI common stock was deferred by Venture III until groundbreaking occurs for the waste to fuel facility on said property.
