12. LIQUIDITY MATTERS / GOING CONCERN
 
From 2008 through September 30, 2012,  internally generated operating cash flows
have been  sufficient to meet the  Company's  business  operating  requirements.
However,  operating  cash flows  have not been  sufficient  to  finance  capital
improvements or provide funds for the substantial  marketing  efforts  necessary
for growing the businesses.  The Company's plan for improving future  continuing
operations has several different aspects as follows:
 
     *    Lowering  its  overhead  costs by reducing  its  workforce in order to
          achieve maximum utilization;
     *    Consolidating  certain  accounting  roles from the subsidiary level to
          the Company's  headquarters,  restructuring  purchase  agreements with
          suppliers  which will allow for leaner  inventory  levels and reducing
          the warehousing costs;
     *    Renegotiating   compensation   arrangements  and   consolidating   its
          administrative location with operating offices in order to reduce rent
          expenses.
 
The Company has taken and will continue to take steps to increase  revenues from
continuing operations as outlined below:
 
     *    Increasing  its revenues  from the Tyree's  second  largest  customer,
          based on the  improving  relationship  between  Tyree  and  customer's
          management;
     *    Obtaining new  construction  contracts based on aggressive  bidding on
          jobs from new customers;
     *    Expanding services into new types of services for water purification;
     *    Expanding services provided to the existing customers;
     *    Increasing customer orders is expected due to anticipated construction
          needs that have been  deferred  in the last  several  years due to the
          weak economy.
 
The Company has taken the following actions as follows:
 
     *    Consolidate  certain premises thereby reducing rents and is negotiated
          for reduced rents with landlords;
     *    Sold  equipment of IMSC (a  discontinued  entity) in February 2012 for
          $426,000;
     *    Term out certain  material  payments to vendors to ease cash flow. The
          Company  has  spoken to major  vendors  concerning  regarding  payment
          terms;
     *    Sell its stock  publicly  and  attempt  to raise  public  and  private
          capital;
     *    Hired a new sales executive with extensive food industry background to
          increase sales of existing and new products of the BPI;
     *    Secured an interest only extension  through April 2013 on BPI's bridge
          loan  agreement  for BPI (the "Bridge  Loan") in August 2012 which has
          allowed  BPI  to  purchase   additional   equipment   to  begin  donut
          manufacturing operations.
     *    Reduced  management  salaries at the corporate and subsidiary level of
          the Company to better align management's salaries with net revenues.
 
In addition, the Company intends to do the following:
 
     *    Liquidate the property  previously  occupied by Tulare (a discontinued
          entity) in Lindsay, California for approximately $2 million;
     *    Sell its property in Allentown,  Pennsylvania for $640,000. There is a
          due  diligence  period of 60 days and  closing 30 days  following  the
          completion of the due diligence period,  which is January 5, 2013. The
          sale is contingent on $512,000 in mortgage  financing.  As of the date
          of this Report,  the buyer,  after  conducting its due diligence,  has
          sent notice of cancellation  of the sale  agreement.  Management is in
          discussions  as to the  appropriate  next  steps  for the  sale of the
          property.
 
If the  Company's  plans  change,  or its  assumptions  change  or  prove  to be
inaccurate,  or  if  available  cash  otherwise  proves  to be  insufficient  to
implement its business plans, the Company may require  additional equity or debt
financing.  Given the uncertain  economic  environment and the pressure that the
financial sector has been under,  the Company cannot predict whether  additional
funds  will be  available  in  adequate  amounts.  If funds are  needed  but not
available, the Company's business may need to be altered or curtailed.
