ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

Introduction

Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp. ("we," "us,", “our”, "Plastinum" or “the Company") is a Delaware corporation originally formed under the name NG Plastic, Inc. in February of 2000. We changed our name to New Generation Plastic, Inc. in May of 2000. On May 19, 2006, we changed our name to Plastinum Corp. On June 26, 2007, we changed our name to Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp. Prior to February 20, 2007, we were a subsidiary of New Generation Holdings, Inc. ("NGH"), which owned approximately 94% of our outstanding common stock. On February 20, 2007, NGH effected a pro rata distribution of our common stock (commonly referred to as a "spin off") pursuant to which each stockholder of NGH received one share of our common stock for each share of NGH owned by such stockholder. As a result, NGH no longer has any ownership interest in us.

We are a development stage company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 ("SFAS No. 7"). We own and develop a patented and proprietary plastic blending technology, whereby various kinds of immiscible plastics can be mixed mechanically into a new polymer compound. The uniqueness of this blending technology stems from its potential cost-effective applications in many fields of the plastic industry, from the recycling of mixed post-consumer plastic scrap to the creation of new thermo plastic compounds.

We believe that our advantage in the recycling sector is our unique capability of taking in the total mixed plastic scrap from complex waste systems, such as the WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) and general household waste and creating new polymer compounds, which we call "Infymers", to compete with virgin polymers. Currently, virtually none of the plastic scrap from the WEEE is being recycled in a responsible manner (approximately 99% is exported or land-filled) and approximately less than 4% of the plastic scrap from household waste is recycled through inefficient and expensive polymer sorting. Also, there currently does not exist a commercial plastic compound developed from pure mixed post-consumer plastic materials. We intend to develop virgin compounds, which we call "Ultrymers", by fusing previously incompatible polymers, creating new unique properties with completely new applications.

We have taken steps to change our previous pilot plant into our first commercial plant in Emmen, the Netherlands, in order to meet the recent demand for our "Infymer" products from WEEE as well as from household waste. Production of our recycled plastic compounds has begun in order to deliver products in the Netherlands as well as to meet the anticipated demand for our products in Asia based upon numerous inquiries from potential customers located in Asia.  However, no firm orders for our products in Asia have been received to date.

We are also in the process of establishing a joint venture in the United States with a Tampa, Florida based company to open our first commercial plant in the United States.

To date, we have generated minimal sales revenues, have incurred significant expenses and have sustained significant recurring losses. Consequently, our operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from entering the development stage on April 7, 2003 through December 31, 2008, we have accumulated losses of $13,591,010.

Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “PLNU”.  On March 25, 2009, the last sales price of our common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board was $0.20 per share.

Our Spin Off

At December 31, 2006, NGH owned approximately 94% of our issued and outstanding equity securities. On January 31, 2007, NGH filed definitive proxy materials (after having originally filed preliminary proxy materials on July 12, 2006) with the SEC for the purpose of, among other things, approving a pro rata distribution (or "spin off") of Plastinum to NGH’s stockholders whereby the stockholders of NGH would receive one share of Plastinum common stock for each share of NGH common stock the stockholder owned. On February 16, 2007, a meeting of NGH’s stockholders was held where all of the matters to be voted upon as set forth in the definitive proxy materials were approved and/or ratified. The spin off of Plastinum was thereafter effected on February 20, 2007 and NGH no longer owns any interest in us or our business.

Our Business

Plastinum Process

We own a patented plastic blending whereby various kinds of immiscible plastics can be mechanically mixed, which enables the production of new homogeneous, commercially usable compounds from a varied stream of otherwise incompatible mixed waste or virgin plastic sources (the “Plastinum Process”).

We believe that the Plastinum Process technology is unique in its ability to combine mixed plastic, including blending different polymers that are normally incompatible, into homogenous compounds (the "Plastinum Compounds") by means of a purely mechanical process. These Plastinum Compounds are created without the use of costly chemical additives, known as compatibilizers, which are typically used to link non-compatible resins.

The core of the Plastinum technology consists of a mechano-chemical chamber that creates in situ compatibilization of otherwise non-compatible polymers, resulting in a continuous mix that offers similar properties as virgin polymers. The process has the ability to mix multiple non-compatible polymers and create new, blended compounds that can be used as ingredients in conventional plastic manufacturing processes.

Market

We believe that our advantage in the recycling sector is our unique capability of taking in the total mixed plastic scrap from complex waste systems, such as the WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) and general household waste and creating new polymer compounds, which we call "Infymers", to compete with virgin polymers. Currently, virtually none of the plastic scrap from the WEEE is being recycled in a responsible manner (approximately 99% is exported or land-filled) and approximately less than 4% of the plastic scrap from household waste is recycled through inefficient and expensive polymer sorting. Also, there currently does not exist a commercial plastic compound developed from pure mixed post-consumer plastic materials. We intend to develop virgin compounds, which we call "Ultrymers", by fusing previously incompatible polymers, creating new unique properties with completely new applications.

We have taken steps to change our previous pilot plant into our first commercial plant in Emmen, the Netherlands, in order to meet the recent demand for our "Infymer" products from WEEE as well as from household waste. Production of our recycled plastic compounds has begun in order to deliver products in the Netherlands as well as to meet the anticipated demand for our products in Asia based upon numerous inquiries from potential customers located in Asia.  However, no firm orders for our products in Asia have been received to date.

We are also in the process of establishing a joint venture in the United States with a Tampa, Florida based company to open our first commercial plant in the United States.

We believe that our blending technology is unique and can add value particularly in this sector, since it can treat various types of plastic scrap, and it does not require separation of the different polymers. More importantly, we believe that the process is environmentally friendly and can be undertaken on economically viable terms. We believe that the cost to manufacturers or other users of our recycled plastic compound will be lower than comparable virgin materials.

Product Distribution

The distribution of our recycled plastic compounds is being undertaken by our own employees and we anticipate that distribution will also occur in partnership with other companies through joint ventures worldwide.

Competition

Our major competitors consist of companies that purchase mixed plastic waste in order to separate and regrind, which entails a different process from our blending process. The separation process is complex and may result in a large loss of material, which makes that process more costly than our blending process. Also the separation process delivers an unfinished product, whereas the Plastinum Compounds are end products usable within the polymer processing industry without further modification. Therefore, we believe that our main competition will be within the acquisition of waste materials.

Patents and Trademarks

The Plastinum Process is currently protected by U.S. Patent Number 6,107,400 and European Patent Number 92907183.5-2307. To date, we have not been involved in any patent infringement or trade secret actions.

Research and Development

We incurred research and development expenses of $1,666,439 and $1,028,069 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, on research and development of the Plastinum technology.

We anticipate expending approximately $500,000 towards research and development activities during the next twelve months in connection with the continued development of the Plastinum technology.

Number of Employees

As of December 31, 2008, we had 15 total employees, all of which were full-time employees, including Jacques Mot, our Chief Executive Officer, and Nils Berten, our Chief Operating Officer, and through our Dutch subsidiary, Rene Schutte, our Chief Technology Officer, and nine plant employees in The Netherlands. We also use independent contractors to fulfill various research and development and administrative functions.

Environmental Matters

We believe that we are in compliance with all current federal, state and EU environmental laws and currently have no costs associated with compliance with environmental laws or regulations. However there can be no assurance that such costs will not be incurred in future to the extent the Plastinum Process technology is exploited.

Dependence On Key Customers; Major Suppliers

We are not dependent on any one or more customers or suppliers.

Recent Developments

Investment in Dutch Subsidiary

On February 16, 2009, pursuant to a Participation and Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Participation Agreement”) among (i) Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp. B.V., an indirect previously wholly-owned Dutch subsidiary of the Company (the “BV”), (ii) PPT Holding B.V., our direct, wholly-owned Dutch subsidiary and owner of our interest in the BV, (iii) Jacques Mot, our Chief Executive Officer and (iv) N.V. NOM,  Investerings- en ontwikkelingsmaatschappij voor Noord-Nederland, a Dutch public limited company (“NOM”) with the State of the Netherlands (Ministry of Economic Affairs) and the provinces of Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe as its shareholders, NOM invested € 1,500,000 in the BV and in return received preferential shares in the BV giving NOM a 49% share in the profits of the BV.

Pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement, (i) the preferential shares received by NOM are entitled to cumulative annual 10% dividends, (ii) the preferential shares received by NOM may be repurchased from NOM by the BV at any time for 150% of the purchase price originally paid for the preferential shares by NOM and (iii) if not repurchased by the BV by January 1, 2013, the preferential shares received by NOM may be converted by NOM into 49% of the ordinary shares of the BV.

The Participation Agreement also provides for, among other things, (i) anti-dilution protection for NOM, (ii) restrictions on transfer of shares in the BV, (iii) provisions regarding the operation of the board of directors of the BV, (iv) restrictions on dividend payments by the BV and (v) certain non-competition provisions governing the BV and Mr. Mot.

Private Placements

From November 2007 through July 2008, the Company issued an aggregate of 61,650 shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock”) at a price of $100.00 per share (the “Purchase Price”) to certain non-U.S. investors in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with the investors (the “Purchase Agreement”). The 61,650 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock are currently convertible into 16,223,684 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the investors also received warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 4,867,105 shares of the our common stock.

On January 27, 2009, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with an investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which we sold and issued to the Investor a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Note”).  The Note accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matures on January 27, 2012.  The Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.22 per share or a total of 4,545,455 shares, subject to adjustment as contained in the Note.  Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, we are obligated to file a registration statement with the SEC by April 30, 2009 registering for resale under the Securities Act the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note.

Amendment of Stock Option Plan

On July 1, 2008, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, the stockholders of the Company approved the amendment of the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan for the purpose of, among other things, increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan from 20 million to 30 million.

Issuance of Stock Options to Certain Officers of the Company

On April 18, 2008, the Company entered into an Option Agreement with each of Jacques Mot, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Nils Berten, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to which we granted each of them options to purchase the Company’s Common Stock under its 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Options”). The exercise price for all of the granted Options is $0.30 per share, a price that was designated by the Company as reflective of the approximate average sales price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board over the sixty day period prior to the grant date and was not necessarily reflective of the last sale price per share on the grant date itself.

Mr. Mot was granted 14,400,000 Options and Mr. Berten was granted 6,000,000 Options. The grant to Mr. Mot was subject to the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (including the Series B Preferred Stock voting on an “as converted” basis and excluding any shares held by Mr. Mot who was not entitled to vote thereon). On July 1, 2008, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, the stockholders of the Company approved the Options grant to Mr. Mot.

The Options expire on April 18, 2013 and, subject to the grantee thereof remaining in the employ of the Company, vest as follows: (a) one-sixth of the Options granted to each of Mr. Mot and Mr. Berten vest on each of the following dates (the “Milestone Attainment Dates”) upon the attainment of each of the following respective milestones (the “Milestones”): (i) on December 31, 2008, if at least one fully operational factory in The Netherlands capable of processing 15,000 tons of eWaste per year at full capacity has been established by the Company, (ii) on December 31, 2009 if at least one fully operational factory in the United States has been established by the Company and (iii) on December 31, 2010 if at least four fully operational factories, including the ones contemplated by the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), have been established by the Company; provided , however , that the Milestones in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors at its discretion at the beginning of the respective calendar year, and (b) on such date as the market capitalization of the Company exceeds $300 million and provided that such date occurs on or prior to 4/18/2011, then double the number of Options granted to each of Mr. Mot and Mr. Berten that have already vested and those yet subject to vesting on each Milestone Attainment Date that has not yet occurred will become vested.

On January 2, 2009, we entered into an Amendment to Stock Option Agreement with each of Mr. Mot and Mr. Berten respect to the granted Options (together, the “Amendments”).  Each of the Amendments (i) acknowledged that one-third of the Options granted are no longer eligible for vesting and have expired and (ii) modified the vesting conditions for the remaining Options with regards to the establishment of factories so as to clarify that they may be established anywhere in the world, including through a joint venture or subsidiary.

Announcements Regarding Commercialization of First Compounds

On March 3, 2008, we announced that we were set to produce top-quality thermoplastic from electronic and electrical waste with the   commercialization of our first compounds made from recycled mixed post-consumer plastics and utilizing our proprietary Blendymer technology: the Infinymer Sml 31.1 and the Infinymer Ssl 31.1. The Sml 31.1 is formed by a polystyrenic base and the Ssl 31.1 by a polyolefinic base. Both Blendymer compounds have the advantage that their composition and structure mean they can be used in a variety of ways - not only as new electrical and electronic components, but also in products ranging from piping to furniture, from lighting to sports equipment, from luggage to gardening tools. Further, certain properties of the Infinymers can be adjusted to suit customers' needs.
 
With regard to our previously announced plans to open our first commercial plant in the United States, on September 29, 2008 we announced that we entered into a Letter of Intent with Creative Recycling Technologies, LLC, for the establishment of a Joint Venture that will process mixed plastic E-Scrap in Tampa, Florida. However, at this time, we are no longer pursuing that Joint Venture.

On October 10, 2008, we announced that we received our first order for our newly created Infinymer NSL. As we anticipate orders for our Infymer product, we have taken steps to change our pilot plant in The Netherlands to a production plant. In the meantime, we have shipped our products to Asia and production has begun for delivery of our product to The Netherlands.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

An investment in our company is suitable only for the persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. Accordingly, investors should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as other information set forth herein, in making an investment decision with respect to our securities . We have sought to identify what we believe to be all material risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Limited Operating History as Stand-Alone Company

Our operating history as an independent public company began on February 20, 2007 with the completion of the spin off by New Generation Holdings, Inc. (“NGH”) of the approximately 94% of our shares of common stock which it owned. We have not yet generated any operating revenue. There can be no assurance that we will generate operating revenue in the future or that we will be able to put in place the financial and administrative structure necessary to operate as an independent public company, or that the development of such structure will not require a significant amount of our management's time and other resources.

Our Board of Directors and Management Own a Significant Amount of Our Common Stock

As of December 31, 2008, our board of directors and management team held approximately 42.7% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming the exercise or conversion of all outstanding currently exercisable or convertible derivative securities held by them. These individuals will collectively continue to have significant control over our operations and affairs.

Employees

As of December 31, 2008, we had 15 employees, including Jacques Mot, our Chief Executive Officer, and Nils Berten, our Chief Operating Officer, and through our Dutch subsidiary, Rene Schutte, our Chief Technology Officer, and nine plant employees in The Netherlands. As we grow, we will need to attract an unknown number of qualified employees. This projected increase in personnel is dependent upon our generating revenues and obtaining sources of financing. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required or generating revenues sufficient to fund the projected increase in the number of employees.

Potential Fluctuations In Quarterly Operating Results

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, most of which are outside of our control, including: the demand for products or services we may develop; seasonal trends in purchasing; the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the development of our products; price competition or pricing changes in the industry; technical difficulties or system downtime; general economic conditions, and economic conditions specific to the consumer plastics recycling industry. Our quarterly results may also be significantly impacted by the impact of the accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters. Particularly, at our early stage of development, such accounting treatment can have a material impact on the results for any quarter. Due to the foregoing factors, among others, it is likely that our operating results will fall below our expectations or those of investors in some future quarter.

Dependence Upon Management

Our future performance and success are dependant upon the efforts and abilities of our management. To a very significant degree, we are dependent upon the continued services of Jacques Mot, our president and chief executive officer. We do not maintain key man life insurance on Mr. Mot.
 
9


Lack Of Independent Directors

We do not have a majority of independent directors on our board of directors and we cannot guarantee that our board of directors will have a majority of independent directors in the future. In the absence of a majority of independent directors, our executive officers, which are also principal stockholders and directors, could establish policies and enter into transactions without independent review and approval thereof. This could present the potential for a conflict of interest between our stockholders and us generally and the controlling officers, stockholders or directors.

Doubt as to Ability to Continue as Going Concern

Our independent certified public accountant has stated in their report included in this filing that we have suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on our ability to develop revenues and finance our business plan, including among other possibilities, by obtaining financing from outside sources and/or entering into strategic partnerships. From November 2007 through July 2008, we sold $6,165,000 of securities through private placements of securities. In January 2009, we issued a convertible promissory note for $1,000,000 through a private placement. However, we will need to generate additional funds in order to execute our business plan, namely, expansion through the set-up of two major eScrap Recycling plants, of which one will be in the Netherlands and one will be in the U.S., as well as establishing a mixed plastic household waste recycling line with a capacity of 7,000 metric tons annually. We are currently in the process of evaluating our financing needs and exploring all available financing options in order to fully implement our business plan, including, among others, strategic partnerships with other business entities and debt financing. Management is also attempting to secure ongoing revenue relationships for our products.

Should we be unable to develop revenues or obtain necessary financing, we may have to curtail our operations, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations and our ability to continue as a going concern.

Limitation Of Liability And Indemnification Of Officers And Directors

Our officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and high integrity in our management affairs. Our certificate of incorporation provides, however, that our officers and directors shall have no liability to our stockholders for losses sustained or liabilities incurred which arise from any transaction in their respective managerial capacities unless they violated their duty of loyalty, did not act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated the law, approved an improper dividend or stock repurchase, or derived an improper benefit from the transaction. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide for the indemnification by us of the officers and directors against any losses or liabilities they may incur as a result of the manner in which they operate our business or conduct the internal affairs, provided that in connection with these activities they act in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believe to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and their conduct does not constitute gross negligence, misconduct or breach of fiduciary obligations.

Potential Inability to Achieve Acceptance of Our Products in the Marketplace

Our success in generating significant sales of our products will depend in part on our ability to achieve market acceptance of our products. The extent to which, and rate at which, we achieve market acceptance and penetration of our current and future products is a function of many variables including, but not limited to:

 
·
price;
 
·
safety;
 
·
functionality;
 
·
reliability;
 
·
marketing and sales efforts; and
 
·
general economic conditions affecting purchasing patterns.
 
We may not be able to develop and introduce products in a timely manner or new products may not gain market acceptance. We are in the early stages of commercialization of our products. We believe that our future growth will depend in large part on our ability to market these products in our target markets. In addition, commercial applications of unique recycled plastics compounds has not been undertaken prior to the introduction of our products and therefore the market is new and evolving. The failure of our products to achieve market acceptance would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
10

 
We May Face Strong Competition in the Marketplace

Competitors may succeed in developing alternative technologies and products that are easier to use or less expensive than those which have been developed by us or that would render our technology and products non-competitive. We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving field, and new developments are expected to continue at a rapid pace. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial and technical resources and production and marketing capabilities than we do.

We Have a Limited Manufacturing Capacity

We are in the process of setting up our first plants for the commercial production of our recycled plastics compounds. Any disruptions in the manufacturing operations of any single plant would materially reduce our ability to sell our products and would have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Additionally, we may not be able to continue to successfully operate our manufacturing operations at acceptable costs, with acceptable yields, and retain adequately trained personnel.

We are Dependent on a Continued Supply of Electrical and Electronic Waste as a Raw Material

There are limited sources of the electrical and electronic waste we use as raw material to manufacture our products and there is significant competition for those raw materials. We may experience difficulty acquiring those raw materials. Any interruption of our relationships with our raw materials suppliers could materially harm our business.

Both Domestic and Foreign Government Regulations Can Have an Adverse Effect on Our Business Operations

Our products and operations are subject to governmental regulation in the United States and foreign countries. Although we have no reason to believe that we will not be able to comply with all applicable regulations regarding the manufacture and sale of our products, regulations are always subject to change and depend heavily on administrative interpretations and the country in which the products are sold. Future changes in regulations or interpretations relating to matters such as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental controls, and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances may adversely affect our business.

Management of Potential Growth

Subject to receipt of financing, we hope to experience rapid growth which, if achieved, will place a significant strain on our managerial, operational, and financial systems resources. To accommodate our current size and manage growth, we must continue to implement and improve our financial strength and our operational systems, and expand.

There is no guarantee that we will be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations, or that our systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our expanded operations, or that we will be able to obtain facilities to support our growth. Our inability to effectively manage our future growth would have a material adverse effect on us.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Potential Inability to Make Required Public Filings

We currently have only 15 employees, including 12 in our Dutch subsidiary. Given our limited personnel and limited resources, we may be unable to maintain effective controls to insure that we are able to make all required public filings in a timely manner. Given similar limited personnel and limited finances, NGH, our parent until February 20, 2007, was not previously able to maintain effective controls to insure that they make all required public filings in a timely manner. If we do not make all public filings in a timely manner, our shares of common stock may be delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board. We could also be subject to regulatory action and/or lawsuits by stockholders.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our financial results are quantified in U.S. dollars and a majority of our obligations and expenditures with respect to our operations are incurred in Euros, with the balance in U.S. dollars and Swiss franc. Our functional currency has been the Euro. Although we do not believe we currently have any materially significant market risks relating to our operations resulting from foreign exchange rates, due to our limited operations, our lack of revenue and that the Euro and Swiss franc are not highly inflational, if we enter into financing or other business arrangements denominated in currency other than the U.S. dollars, variations in the exchange rate may give rise to foreign exchange gains or losses that may be significant.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

Resale of Shares Recently Registered Could Adversely Affect the Market Price of Our Common Stock and Our Ability to Raise Additional Equity Capital

During the thirteen months ended January 31, 2009, we registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 15,365,691 shares of our common stock. To the extent that these shares have not yet been resold, their resale in the public market could adversely affect the market price for our common stock and make it more difficult for you to sell our shares at times and prices that you feel are appropriate. Furthermore, we expect that, because a large number of shares were registered, the selling stockholders will continue to offer those for a significant period of time, the precise duration of which we cannot predict. Accordingly, the adverse market and price pressures resulting from such sales may continue for an extended period of time and continued negative pressure on the market price of our common stock could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise additional equity capital.

Certificate of Incorporation Grants the Board of Directors the Power to Designate and Issue Additional Shares of Common and/or Preferred Stock.

Our certificate of incorporation grants our Board of Directors authority to, without any action by our stockholders, designate and issue, from our authorized capital, shares in such classes or series (including classes or series of common stock and/or preferred stock) as it deems appropriate and establish the rights, preferences, and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights. The rights of holders of classes or series of common stock or preferred stock that may be issued could be superior to the rights of the common stock offered hereby.  Our board of directors’ ability to designate and issue shares could impede or deter an unsolicited tender offer or takeover proposal. Further, the issuance of additional shares having preferential rights could adversely affect other rights appurtenant to the shares of common stock offered hereby. Any such issuances will dilute the percentage of ownership interest of our stockholders and may dilute our book value.

Lack of Liquid Trading Market for Common Stock

Although our stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) under the symbol “PLNU”, our trading history is limited and the market for our common stock is not liquid as there have been days when our stock did not trade even though it is was quoted.

Limited Market Due To Penny Stock

Our stock differs from many stocks, in that it is considered a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate penny stocks. These rules include, but are not limited to, Rules 3a5l-l, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6 and 15g-7 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities probably constitute penny stock within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to our securities and us. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of our stock to sell their securities in any market that may develop for them. There may be a limited market for penny stocks, due to the regulatory burdens on broker-dealers. The market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.

Stockholders should be aware that, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include: control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; “boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

Furthermore, the penny stock designation may adversely affect the development of any public market for our shares of common stock or, if such a market develops, its continuation. Broker-dealers are required to personally determine whether an investment in penny stock is suitable for customers. Penny stocks are securities (i) with a price of less than five dollars per share; (ii) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ-listed stocks must still meet requirement (i) above); and (iv) of an issuer with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average annual revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years. Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 15g-2 of the Commission require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be penny stock. Rule 15g-9 of the Commission requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor.

This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for the Company's stockholders to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.

The Trading Price Of Our Common Stock May Decrease Due To Factors Beyond Our Control

The trading price of our common stock will be subject to significant fluctuations in response to numerous factors, including:

 
·
Variations in anticipated or actual results of operations;
 
·
Announcements of new products or technological innovations by us or our competitors;
 
·
Changes in earnings estimates of operational results by analysts;
 
·
Results of product demonstrations;
 
·
Inability of market makers to combat short positions on the stock;
 
·
Inability of the market to absorb large blocks of stock sold into the market;
 
·
Comments about us or our markets posted on the Internet.

Moreover, the stock market from time to time has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices for emerging growth companies and which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of the companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of their common stock in the public market, the price of our common stock could fall. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity related securities in the future at a price we deem appropriate.

We Pay No Dividends

We have never declared nor paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any earnings for funding growth however these plans may change depending upon capital raising requirements.

Sarbanes-Oxley and Federal Securities Laws Reporting Requirements Can Be Expensive

As a public reporting company, we are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and other federal securities laws. The costs of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC, and furnishing audited reports to shareholders, are significant and may increase in the future.

Management's Plan of Operation

The following discussion and analysis provides information which our management believes to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read together with our financial statements and the notes to financial statements, which are included in this report.

Overview
 
At December 31, 2008, we were pursuing a business plan related to the Plastinum Process described below and were considered to be in the development stage as defined by SFAS No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. We own and develop a patented proprietary plastic blending technology, whereby various kinds of immiscible plastics can be mixed mechanically into a new polymer compound. The uniqueness of this blending technology stems from its potential cost-effective applications in many fields of the plastic industry, from the recycling of mixed post-consumer plastic scrap to the creation of new thermo plastic compounds.

The Plastinum Process
 
We own and develop a patented and proprietary plastic blending technology, whereby various kinds of immiscible plastics can be mixed mechanically into a new polymer compound. The uniqueness of this blending technology stems from its potential cost-effective applications in many fields of the plastic industry, from the recycling of mixed post-consumer plastic scrap to the creation of new thermo plastic compounds.
 
16


Plastinum’s mission is to commercialize the technology through application in the virgin plastic markets (polymer alloys) and the plastic recycling sector (compounds made from post-consumer mixed plastic scrap).

Plastinum believes its patented proprietary process, the Plastinum technology, is capable of producing homogeneous, commercially usable polymer products from mixed virgin plastic and/or mixed scrap plastic without  the need of compatibilizers.

We are currently in the process of implementing our business plan and during October 2006 we opened a pilot plant in the EMMTEC Industry & Business Park, Emmen, The Netherlands. This plant is our showcase for the recycling of the different streams of total post consumer mixed plastic scrap, such as household waste and WEEE (Waste Electrical & Electronics Equipment). We have taken steps to change our previous pilot plant into our first commercial plant in Emmen, the Netherlands, in order to meet the recent demand for our "Infymer" products from WEEE as well as from household waste. Production of our recycled plastic compounds has begun in order to deliver products in the Netherlands as well as to meet the anticipated demand for our products in other countries based upon numerous inquiries from potential customers.  However, no firm orders for our products outside the Netherlands have been received to date.

The strategies for commercial implementation of the Plastinum technology range from stand-alone plants, such as the plants described above, to units integrated within an existing plastic processing facility, to leasing arrangements with potential joint-venture partners.

We have received our first orders from The Netherlands. Other materials have been shipped to the Far East to enable various customers to continue testing our materials.

We are currently discussing various possibilities for the acquisition of source materials with interested parties in the EU as well as in the U.S. and Asia. The potential acquisition strategies would involve either profit sharing collaboration or the straight purchase of source materials.

In the EU, it is anticipated that source materials will be purchased from various parties.  We have reached an exclusive agreement with one Dutch company regarding household waste and we are currently discussing supply options with various other waste processing companies.  These companies have preliminarily indicated that they will assist in the organization of the supply of scrap.

Plan of Operation

Our plan of operation for the twelve month period following December 31, 2008 is to:

 
·
Proceed with research and development for virgin market applications and the development of new virgin compounds.
 
·
Change our previous pilot plant into our first commercial plant in the EU, planned for the second half of 2009.
 
·
Enlarge our plant in the EU for the recycling of mixed plastic scrap from household waste to a processing capacity of 10,000 MT, planned for the first half of 2010.
 
·
Open a commercial recycling plant in the United States, planned for early 2010 through a Joint-Venture or Licensing operation.

We currently have budgeted approximately $6,000,000 in cash expenditures for the twelve month period following December 31, 2008, including (1) approximately $2,000,000 to cover our projected general and administrative expense during this period; (2) approximately $500,000 for research and development activities; (3) approximately $2,500,000  for the necessary capital expenditure to transform our Netherlands plant into a production facility; and (4) approximately $1,000,000 for Working Capital needs at our Netherlands plant.
 
17


From November 2007 through July 2008, we sold $6,165,000 of securities through a private placement of securities. On January 27, 2009, we sold and issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000. We will need to generate additional funds in order to execute our business plan, namely, expansion through the set-up of two major recycling plants, of which one will be in the Netherlands and one will be in the U.S. We are currently in the process of evaluating our financing needs and exploring all available financing options in order to fully implement our business plan, including, among others, strategic partnerships with other business entities and debt financing. Management is also attempting to secure ongoing revenue relationships for our products. Should we not be able to obtain suitable financing for our business plan, we may have to substantially curtail our proposed expansion.

On February 16, 2009, pursuant to a Participation and Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Participation Agreement”) among (i) Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp. B.V., our indirect previously wholly-owned Dutch subsidiary (the “BV”), (ii) PPT Holding B.V., our direct, wholly-owned Dutch subsidiary and the owner of our interest in the BV, (iii) Jacques Mot, our Chief Executive Officer and (iv) N.V. NOM,  Investerings- en ontwikkelingsmaatschappij voor Noord-Nederland, a Dutch public limited company (“NOM”) with the State of the Netherlands (Ministry of Economic Affairs) and the provinces of Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe as its shareholders, NOM invested € 1,500,000 in the BV and in return received preferential shares in the BV giving NOM a 49% share in the profits of the BV.

Pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement, (i) the preferential shares received by NOM are entitled to cumulative annual 10% dividends, (ii) the preferential shares received by NOM may be repurchased from NOM by the BV at any time for 150% of the purchase price originally paid for the preferential shares by NOM and (iii) if not repurchased by the BV by January 1, 2013, the preferential shares received by NOM may be converted by NOM into 49% of the ordinary shares of the BV.  The Participation Agreement also provides for, among other things, (i) anti-dilution protection for NOM, (ii) restrictions on transfer of shares in the BV, (iii) provisions regarding the operation of the board of directors of the BV, (iv) restrictions on dividend payments by the BV and (v) certain non-competition provisions governing the BV and Jacques Mot.

Our anticipated costs and projected completion dates described above are estimates based upon our current business plan, known resources and market dynamics. Our actual costs or actual project completion dates could vary materially from those projected.  Our management team is continually re-evaluating our core business plan as it relates to our monitoring products and identifying new applications and markets for our technology.  We may at any time decide to terminate our ongoing development plans with respect to products and services if they are deemed to be impracticable or not to be commercially viable.  Further changes to our current business plan could also result, such as the acquisition of new products or services or the decision to manufacture our own products, resulting in a change in our anticipated strategic direction, investments, and expenditures.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2007

Operating losses increased from $2,630,936 in 2007 to $5,716,545 in 2008. The increase of $3,085,609 was the result of an increase of $2,472,323 in general and administrative expenses, from $1,602,867 in 2007 to $4,075,190 in 2008, and an increase in research and development expenses of $638,370, from $1,028,069 in 2007 to $1,666,439 in 2008, partially offset by revenue of $25,084 in 2008 from the initial sale of our products. The primary components of our general and administrative expenses for each of the years are compensation expense, consulting and professional fees, rent and travel expenses. Our general and administrative and research and development expenses have increased as we have raised capital, continued the development of the Plastinum technology and position ourselves to become a revenue generating company.
 
18


During 2008 and 2007 we received approximately $3,869,000 and $3,566,000, respectively, in proceeds from the sale of preferred stock and from the exercise of warrants. The additional working capital has enabled us to expand our operations, partially implement our business plan, improve our products for market and proceed to develop additional products and processes. This has resulted in the increases in expenses enumerated above. Specifically, in the research area, we have been able to increase our research and development personnel, engage research consultants and operate our pilot plant, changing over to a commercial plant. In the administrative area, we have increased personnel to build a corporate infrastructure and have incurred increased travel and marketing expenses as we have raised capital and promoted our planned future products. We have also increased our administrative equity based compensation during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2008 we had a working capital deficit of $739,181. For the year ended December 31, 2008, net cash used by operating activities was $3,569,512, resulting primarily from a loss of $5,783,411 partially offset by a non-cash charge of $881,538 for stock based compensation and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $829,296 and an increase in unearned subsidies of $524,572.

During 2008, we received $4,060,000 in proceeds from the sale of 40,600 shares of our Series B-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $100 per share. Of this amount $1,400,000 was received in March and April and $2,660,000 was received in July. We incurred costs of $191,359 related to the sale of the preferred stock. The purchasers also received warrants, exercisable for a five year period, to purchase an aggregate of 3,205,263 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.57 per share of common stock. During August of 2008 we paid $142,228 of accrued preferred dividends in cash.

During 2008, we repaid $466,549 of net working capital advances received from Mr. Jacques Mot, our president and CEO, to fund operations. As of December 31, 2008, the amount of net unrepaid advances received from Mr. Mot aggregated $25,890. The advances are non-interest bearing.

As of December 31, 2007 we had working capital of $99,884. For the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash used by operating activities was $2,659,346, resulting primarily from a loss of $2,696,030.

During 2007, we received $1,581,151 in proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase 4,257,512 shares of our common stock.

During 2007, we received $34,719 in net working capital advances from Mr. Mot to fund operations. As of December 31, 2007, the amount of net unrepaid advances received from Mr. Mot aggregated $492,439. The advances are non-interest bearing

During November and December 2007, we received $2,105,000 in proceeds from the sale of 21,050 shares of our Series B-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $100 per share. The purchasers also received warrants, exercisable for a five year period, to purchase an aggregate of 1,661,842 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.57 per share of common stock.

The Series B-1 Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.38 per share, subject to adjustment for customary anti-dilution provisions. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock accrues dividends at an annual rate of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate then in effect, but not less than 8% or greater than 10% per year, payable quarterly, either in cash or, at our election, shares of capital stock.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, each purchaser of Series B-1 Preferred Stock also received a Warrant (collectively, the “Warrants”), exercisable for a five year period to purchase shares of Common Stock in an amount up to 30% of the shares of Common Stock into which the Series B-1 Preferred Stock purchased by such Investor may be exercised at an initial exercise price of $0.57 per share of Common Stock.
 
19


In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which we are obligated to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants within ninety days of the Closing under the Purchase Agreement.

We have made payments on behalf of NGH, primarily for the payment of professional fees incurred by NGH and certain NGH accounts payable. These advances have no stated maturity date and bear no interest. We expected that the advances would ultimately be repaid upon NGH’s acquisition of, or merger with, a company which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares though no material discussions had been had with respect to any potential business combination. Our president and chief executive officer, Jacques Mot, is the principal stockholder of NGH and Mr. Mot has indicated that he will ultimately ensure repayment of the advances. Mot has repaid the advances, aggregating $271,522, during the fourth quarter of 2008 through a reduction of accrued compensation due to him.

Our current funding has enabled us to open the pilot plant, continue our research and development activities and position ourselves to become a revenue generating company. We anticipate that financing our full long-term business plan will require $2,500,000 for the transformation and expansion of the Netherlands plant, and $3,500,000 for working capital needs. From November 2007 through July 2008, we sold $6,165,000 of securities through a private placement of securities. On January 27, 2009, we sold and issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000. We will need to generate additional funds in order to execute our business plan, namely, expansion through the set-up of two major recycling plants, of which one will be in the Netherlands and one will be in the U.S. We are currently in the process of evaluating our financing needs and exploring all available financing options in order to fully implement our business plan, including, among others, strategic partnerships with other business entities and debt financing. Management is also attempting to secure ongoing revenue relationships for our products. Should we not be able to obtain suitable financing for our business plan, we may have to substantially curtail our proposed expansion.

On February 16, 2009, pursuant to a Participation and Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Participation Agreement”) among (i) Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp. B.V., our indirect previously wholly-owned Dutch subsidiary (the “BV”), (ii) PPT Holding B.V., our direct, wholly-owned Dutch subsidiary and the owner of our interest in the BV, (iii) Jacques Mot, our Chief Executive Officer and (iv) N.V. NOM,  Investerings- en ontwikkelingsmaatschappij voor Noord-Nederland, a Dutch public limited company (“NOM”) with the State of the Netherlands (Ministry of Economic Affairs) and the provinces of Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe as its shareholders, NOM invested € 1,500,000 in the BV and in return received preferential shares in the BV giving NOM a 49% share in the profits of the BV.

In addition to the need for substantial capital in order to implement our business plan and expansion, we currently do not have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits for ongoing operations and we will need additional capital to continue our operations. We will endeavor to raise funds through the sale of equity shares, debt financing and revenues from operations. If we are unable to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings, on terms acceptable to us, and are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations, then this lack of financing would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

There can be no assurance that we will generate revenues from operations or obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms, if at all. Failure to obtain such capital or generate such operating revenues would have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations and our ability to continue as a going concern. Our operating and capital requirements during the next fiscal year and thereafter will vary based on a number of factors, including the level of sales and marketing activities for our plastic services and products. There can be no assurance that additional private or public financings including debt or equity financing, will be available as needed, or, if available, on terms favorable to us. Furthermore, debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on our operating flexibility. Our failure to successfully obtain additional future funding may jeopardize our ability to continue our business and operations. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and such additional equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our existing common stock.
 
20


Our registered independent certified public accountants have stated in their report, dated March 31, 2009, that the Company's recurring losses raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations to date.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements; we believe the following critical accounting policies and pronouncements involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Stock Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” , to account for compensation costs under our stock option plans. We previously utilized the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (as amended).

In adopting SFAS No. 123(R), we elected to use the modified prospective method to account for the transition from the intrinsic value method to the fair value recognition method. Under the modified prospective method, compensation cost is recognized from the adoption date forward for all new stock options granted and for any outstanding unvested awards as if the fair value method had been applied to those awards as of the date of grant. We had no outstanding unvested awards at the adoption date and we had no outstanding unvested awards during the 2007 comparative period.

We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees (if any) and will use the Black- Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options, if issued.  The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates, and related revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component in stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of income.

Going Concern

We have not generated significant revenue since the date of our inception and, at present, we have insufficient capital on hand to fund our planned operations through 2009. The foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Board of Directors
Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp.
Los Angeles, California

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp., a development stage company, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of losses, deficiency in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008 and the period April 7, 2003 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based upon our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. 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 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 Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp., a development stage company, at December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008 and the period April 7, 2003 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A, the Company has a generated negative cash outflows from operating activities, experienced recurring net operating losses, and is dependent on securing additional equity and debt financing to support its business efforts. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are described in Note A. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007
 
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.

Business

Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp. (“we”, “us”,our company “, “our”,   “Plastinum” or the “Company” ) (formerly Plastinum Corp.) was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2000. We are a development stage company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, and we own and develop a patented and proprietary plastic blending technology whereby various kinds of immiscible plastics can be mixed mechanically into a new polymer compound. The technology is being marketed worldwide. During the fourth quarter the Company has received a test order for its Infinymer NSL, to a customer in Asia.

Through December 31, 2008, we have generated minimal sales revenues, have incurred significant expenses and have sustained losses. Consequently, our operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from entering the development stage on April 7, 2003 through December 31, 2008, we have accumulated losses of $13,591,010.

We were a wholly owned subsidiary of New Generation Holdings, Inc. (“NGH”) through May 24, 2006, and NGH owned approximately 94% of our common stock until February 20, 2007, at which time NGH effected a pro rata distribution of our common stock (commonly referred to as a “spin off”), pursuant to which each stockholder of NGH received one share of our common stock for each share of NGH owned by such stockholder.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Plastinum and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statement.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not reflect any adjustments related to the uncertainty surrounding our recurring losses or accumulated deficit.

We have had substantial net losses of $5,783,411 and $2,696,030 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and have a working capital deficit of $739,181 at December 31, 2008. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
We are currently developing a proprietary technology designed to process and blend two or more discrete plastic polymers. The technology is being marketed worldwide.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on our ability to develop revenues and finance our business plan, including among other possibilities, by obtaining financing from outside sources and/or entering into strategic partnerships. From November 2007 through July 2008, we sold $6,165,000 of securities through a private placement of securities. We will need to generate additional funds in order to execute our business plan, namely, expansion through the set-up of two major eScrap Recycling plants, of which one will be in the Netherlands and one will be in the U.S., as well as establishing a mixed plastic household waste recycling line with a capacity of 10,000 MT annually.  We are currently in the process of evaluating our financing needs and exploring all available financing options in order to fully implement our business plan, including, among others, strategic partnerships with other business entities and debt financing. Management is also attempting to secure ongoing revenue relationships for our products.

Should we be unable to develop revenues or obtain necessary financing, we may have to curtail our operations, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations and our ability to continue as a going concern.

DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
Product Development Costs

Product development costs include expenses incurred by the Company for research, design and development of our proprietary technology and are charged to operations as incurred.
 
Plastinum incurred research and development expenses of $1,666,439, $1,028,069 and $4,308,553 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and from April 7, 2003 (date of inception of development stage) through December 31, 2008, respectively.

Liquidity
 
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we incurred net losses of $5,783,411 and $2,696,030 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the period from inception of development stage through December 31, 2008, we have accumulated losses of $13,591,010. Consequently, our operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.
 
Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in our accounts.
 
Comprehensive Income
 
SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments and is included as a component of stockholders' equity.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates, and related revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component in stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of income.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of applicable government mandated insurance limits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Loss Per Share

We use SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. We compute basic loss per share by dividing net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were 46,557,673 common share equivalents at December 31, 2008 and 31,332,650 at December 31, 2007. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
We account for our share-based compensation under the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, (“FAS 123R”). We adopted FAS 123R as of January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective application method. We did not have any unvested amounts of stock based compensation grants issued and outstanding at the date of implementation. 

Property and Equipment
 
We record our equipment at historical cost. We expense maintenance and repairs as incurred. Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over three to five years, the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment.

Advances Receivable – Former Parent

Advances receivable – former parent represent amounts advanced on behalf of NGH, primarily for the payment of professional fees incurred by NGH and certain NGH accounts payable. These advances have no stated maturity date and bear no interest. We expect that the advances will ultimately be repaid upon NGH’s acquisition of, or merger with, a company which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares though no material discussions have yet been had with respect to any potential business combination. Our president and chief executive officer, Jacques Mot, is the principal stockholder of NGH and Mr. Mot has repaid the advances, aggregating $271,522, during the fourth quarter of 2008 through a reduction of accrued compensation due to him.

Income Taxes

We have adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes"("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company has incurred losses that can be carried forward to offset future earnings if conditions of the Internal Revenue Codes are met. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce a deferred tax asset to that portion that is expected to more likely than not be realized.
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position taken on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”).  SFAS 157 defines fair value to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  It establishes a fair value hierarchy and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in both interim and annual periods. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008 which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. The Company also adopted the deferral provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of non-financial assets and liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  SFAS No. 157 also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable  in active markets; and
 
Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
 
The Company designates cash equivalents as Level 1. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not have any cash equivalents, therefore there were no assets measured at fair value.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”).  SFAS 159 permits entities to measure eligible assets and liabilities at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings.  SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Company adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008 and did not elect the fair value option which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, Business Combinations , and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,    an amendment of ARB No. 51 .  These new standards significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) in consolidated financial statements.  Both standards are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. These Statements are effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2009.  The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,    an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 . This new standard enhances the disclosure requirements related to derivative instruments and hedging activities required by FASB Statement No. 133.  This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company adopted the required provisions of SFAS 161 on January 1, 2008 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
F-10

 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.   The Company is required to adopt FSP 142-3 on January 1, 2009.  The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy).  This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.”  The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1").  FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate.  FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
   
In June 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force No. 07-5 (EITF 07-5), Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock. EITF 07-5 requires entities to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock by assessing the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and settlement provisions. Instruments not indexed to their own stock fail to meet the scope exception of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, paragraph 11(a), and should be classified as a liability and marked-to-market. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied to outstanding instruments upon adoption with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is assessing the impact of this EITF for the year ended December 31, 2009.
   
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE B - CAPITAL STOCK AND STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

We are authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.01 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.01 per share.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, 200,000 common stock warrants were exercised on a cashless basis into 38,710 shares of common stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we issued 85,918 shares of common stock for services valued at $14,990. Of this amount, $5,390 was included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2007.

On April 18, 2008, we granted an aggregate of 8,400,000 options to purchase our common stock to two employees under our 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan and pursuant to option agreements entered into with each of them (the “options”). The exercise price for all of the granted options is $0.30 per share, a price that was designated by the Company as reflective of the approximate average sales price of our common stock as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board over the sixty day period prior to the grant date and was not necessarily reflective of the last sale price per share on the grant date itself.

The options expire on April 18, 2013 and, subject to the grantee thereof remaining in our employ, vest as follows: (a) one-sixth of the Options granted to each of the employees vest on each of the following dates (the “ Milestone Attainment Dates ”) upon the attainment of each of the following respective milestones (the “ Milestones ”): (i) on December 31, 2008, if at least one fully operational factory in The Netherlands capable of processing 15,000 tons of eWaste per year at full capacity has been established, (ii) on December 31, 2009 if at least one fully operational factory in the United States has been established and (iii) on December 31, 2010 if at least four fully operational factories, including the ones contemplated by the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), have been established; provided , however , that the Milestones in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above may be adjusted by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors at its discretion at the beginning of the respective calendar year, and (b) on such date as our market capitalization exceeds $300 million and provided that such date occurs on or prior to April 18, 2011, then double the number of Options granted to each of the employees that have already vested and those yet subject to vesting on each Milestone Date that has not yet occurred will become vested. The December 31, 2008 milestone was not attained and those 2,800,000 options terminated on that date.

The options have been valued at $1,732,773 on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 106%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 1.7% - 2.6%, (4) expected life of 1-3 years, and (5) estimated fair value of Plastinum common stock of $0.34 per share. The compensation expense is being recorded over the vesting periods, based on the number of options expected to vest. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we have recorded $343,352 of compensation expense related to these options. Compensation cost related to nonvested options expected to vest of $877,304 at December 31, 2008 will be recognized over the next 2.25 years. At December 31, 2008, there was no intrinsic value of options vested and expected to vest since the exercise price of the options exceeded the market price of our common stock on that date.
 
On April 18, 2008, we entered into an option agreement with Jacques Mot, our president and chief executive officer, pursuant to which we granted Mr. Mot 14,400,000 options to purchase our common stock under our 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan. These options have identical terms to the options described above. The grant to Mr. Mot was subject to the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock (including the Series B Preferred Stock voting on an “as converted” basis and excluding any shares held by Mr. Mot who was not entitled to vote thereon). Such approval was received at our stockholder meeting on July 1, 2008. Therefore the grant date of these options is July 1, 2008 and they have been recorded in the financial statements starting in the third quarter of 2008. The options have been valued at $1,833,030 on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 129%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 2.1% - 3%, (4) expected life of .5-2.75 years, and (5) estimated fair value of Plastinum common stock of $0.22 per share. The compensation expense is being recorded over the vesting periods, based on number of options expected to vest. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we have recorded $288,318 of compensation expense related to these options. Compensation cost related to nonvested options expected to vest of $1,048,063 at December 31, 2008 will be recognized over the next 2.25 years. At December 31, 2008, there was no intrinsic value of options vested and expected to vest since the exercise price of the options exceeded the market price of our common stock on that date. The December 31, 2008 milestone was not attained and those 4,800,000 options terminated on that date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007

In anticipation of the spinoff transaction described in Note A, NGH amended its existing common stock purchase warrants to permit, at the holder's election, the exercise of the warrants to purchase shares of our common stock or NGH common stock. The Plastinum shares issuable upon exercise of warrants will be issued in the same amounts and for the same exercise price as the warrants for shares of NGH. The total number of NGH warrants exercisable into Plastinum common stock is 5,866,884 at December 31, 2008, with an exercise price of $0.35 per share.

We entered into a debt exchange agreement with our president and chief executive officer, Jacques Mot and NGH dated as of December 7, 2005. Pursuant to the debt exchange agreement, Mr. Mot received a convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $753,304 representing outstanding amounts owed to him under his consulting agreement with NGH. The convertible promissory note bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The Convertible Promissory Note was convertible into shares of our Preferred Stock or the Preferred Stock of NGH. On July 10, 2006, Mr. Mot converted the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Convertible Promissory Note into 528,630 shares of NGH Preferred Stock pursuant to an Election to Convert and Amendment to Debt Exchange Agreement among NGH, Plastinum and Mr. Mot. Upon the closing of the spin off of Plastinum, the shares of Preferred Stock automatically converted into 38,672,076 shares of NGH Common Stock. As a result of the effectiveness of the spin off, Mr. Mot received 38,672,076 shares of our Common Stock on February 20, 2007. 

During the year ended December 31, 2007, we issued 600,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants issued with our convertible debt. Gross proceeds from the exercises were $300,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, we issued 3,657,512 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants and received proceeds of $1,281,151. Also, certain warrant holders elected to exercise their warrants pursuant to the cashless exercise provision of the warrants. As a result, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,183,308 shares were exercised on a “cashless” basis into 514,367 shares of our common stock. 

On March 7, 2007, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,985,584 shares of common stock of either NGH or Plastinum at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. These warrants were issued pursuant to consulting agreements entered into with NGH. The associated expense had been recorded in the year ended December 31, 2005.

On March 27, 2007, 3,000,000 common stock options previously issued to an employee were cancelled upon the termination of employment of such employee.

On April 5, 2007, we issued 68,851 shares of common stock in connection with the spin off described in Note A.

On April 5, 2007, we issued 27,072 shares of common stock, valued at $8,420, as compensation for services. Of this amount, $3,290 had been accrued at December 31, 2006.

NOTE C - REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANT UNIT OFFERING  

We have designated 120,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which may be issued in one or more sub-series, and have authorized the issuance of 80,000 shares of a sub-series designated as Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.38 per share, subject to adjustment for customary anti-dilution provisions. Plastinum may, on or after November 1, 2010 and upon at least 30 days notice, redeem the Series B-1 Preferred Stock in full at the purchase price plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, subject to the holder’s conversion rights. Conversely, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the purchase agreement with respect to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock), or at the holder’s option at any time on or after November 1, 2010 and upon 45 days notice from a holder to Plastinum, we are required to redeem the Series B-1 Preferred Stock for the purchase price plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock accrues dividends at an annual rate of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate then in effect, but not less than 8% or greater than 10% per annum, payable quarterly, either in cash or, at our election, shares of our common stock.

During November and December 2007, we sold 21,050 units in a private placement, with each unit consisting of 1 share of our Series B-1 Preferred Stock and approximately 79 common share purchase warrants, at a price of $100 per unit. Each warrant is exercisable for a period of five years, with an exercise price of $0.57. The total purchase price was $2,105,000 and the proceeds to our company, net of expenses, were approximately $1,985,000. Since the Series B-1 convertible preferred stock may ultimately be redeemable at the option of the holder, the carrying value of the preferred stock, net of discount and accumulated dividends, has been classified as temporary equity on the balance sheet at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No.00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5, ‘Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Rates’, to Certain Convertible Instruments ”, a portion of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value, which totaled $208,462 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Further, we attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $308,725 to the Series B-1 preferred shares based upon the difference between the effective conversion price of those shares and the closing price of our common shares on the date of issuance. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model are as follows:  (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 116%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4%, (4) expected life of 1 year as the conversion feature and warrants are immediately exercisable, and (5) estimated fair value of Plastinum common stock of $0.40 per share. The expected term of the warrants represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards and giving consideration to the contractual terms. The amounts attributable to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature, aggregating $517,187, have been recorded as a discount and deducted from the face value of the preferred stock. Since the preferred stock is classified as temporary equity, we are amortizing the discount over the period from issuance to October 31, 2010 (the initial redemption date) as a charge to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings).
 
During March, April and July 2008, we sold an additional 40,600 units in a private placement. The total purchase price was $4,060,000 and the proceeds to our company, net of expenses, were approximately $3,869,000. Since the Series B-1 convertible preferred stock may ultimately be redeemable at the option of the holder, the carrying value of the preferred stock, net of discount and accumulated dividends, has been classified as temporary equity on the balance sheet at December 31, 2008.

In accordance with EITF 00-27, a portion of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value, which totaled $263,452 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Further, we attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $2,281 to the Series B-1 preferred shares based upon the difference between the effective conversion price of those shares and the closing price of our common shares on the dates of issuance. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model are as follows:  (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 106% - 136%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 2.1%, (4) expected life of 1 year as the conversion feature and warrants are immediately exercisable, and (5) weighted average estimated fair value of Plastinum common stock of $0.29 per share. The expected term of the warrants represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards and giving consideration to the contractual terms. The amounts attributable to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature, aggregating $265,733, have been recorded as a discount and deducted from the face value of the preferred stock. Since the preferred stock is classified as temporary equity, we are amortizing the discount over the period from issuance to October 31, 2010 (the initial redemption date) as a charge to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings).

The charge to additional paid in capital for amortization of discount and costs for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $314,414 and $31,502, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we have accrued dividends in the amount of $337,970 and $24,532, respectively. The accrued dividends have been charged to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings) and the net unpaid accrued dividends been added to the carrying value of the preferred stock. During 2008, we made cash payments of accrued dividends aggregating $142,228. Accrued and unpaid dividends included in the carrying value of the preferred stock at December 31, 2008 total $220,274.

NOTE D - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On December 3, 2007, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Registrant authorized and ratified payment of a base salary of $60,000 per month effective November 1, 2007 to Jacques Mot as compensation for services being provided by him to the Corporation in his capacity as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. Mr. Mot will be permitted to receive his compensation in the form of shares of the Registrant’s common stock, at Mr. Mot’s sole election and at any time prior to the payment thereof, at a price per share equal to $0.39 (the average closing bid price of the Registrant’s common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board during October 2007).

Mr. Mot is the principal stockholder of NGH, our former parent, and Mr. Mot has repaid the advances made to NGH described in Note A, aggregating $271,522, during the fourth quarter of 2008 through a reduction of accrued compensation due to him.

NOTE E - UNEARNED SUBSIDIES RECEIVED

Unearned subsidies received represent payments received from the Netherlands government to subsidize industrial operations (including equipment acquisitions) in specific geographical locations. The subsidy agreements contain specific performance criteria that must be met before they are earned. When earned, the subsidy payments will be credited against the expenses or costs which the expenditures were originally to and the related liability account will be reduced. As of December 31, 2008, we received $524, 572 of subsidy payments, none of which have yet been earned.

NOTE G - INCOME TAXES
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48), which supplements SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," by defining the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The Interpretation requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date. The more-likely-than-not threshold represents a positive assertion by management that a company is entitled to the economic benefits of a tax position. If a tax position is not considered more-likely- than-not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits no benefits of the tax position are to be recognized. Moreover, the more-likely-than-not threshold must continue to be met in each reporting period to support continued recognition of a benefit. With the adoption of FIN 48, companies are required to adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to be sustained. Any necessary adjustment would be recorded directly to retained earnings and reported as a change in accounting principle.

SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.
 
Net operating losses for tax purposes of approximately $678,000 at December 31, 2008 are available for carryover. The net operating losses will expire in 2028. We have provided a 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax benefit resulting from the net operating loss carryover due to our limited operating history. In addressing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. The valuation allowance increased by $124,000 and $106,000 during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. A reconciliation of the statutory Federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 follows.

NOTE H - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On July 10, 2006, we entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement with Mr. Mot and a third party pursuant to which we borrowed an aggregate of $500,000. The loans bear interest at 8% per year and are convertible into an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. If not converted earlier, the notes mature on May 31, 2010. In addition, the lenders received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. In accordance with EITF 00-27, a portion of the proceeds was allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value, which totaled $126,700 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The remaining balance was allocated to the convertible notes. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 136%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 4.9%, (4) expected life of 2 years and (5) estimated fair value of Plastinum common stock of $0.29 per share. The expected term of the warrants represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards and giving consideration to the contractual terms. The debt discount is being amortized over the term of the notes. During 2008 and 2007, amortization as interest expense amounted to $33,124 and $33,033, respectively. We have determined that there was no beneficial conversion feature attributable to the convertible notes.

Payment of principal not converted to common stock and accrued interest is due on the maturity date of May 31, 2010.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial (and principal accounting) Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2008.  Based upon that evaluation and the identification of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as described below under “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting,” the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Evaluation of and Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Company.  Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

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

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the requisite evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, during the past five years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has been:
 
the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

 
25

 

convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or

found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, each of Mr. Nils Berten, our Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Pierre Kladny, a Director of the Company, and Schroder & Co Banque SA, a deemed beneficial owner of more than ten percent of the Company’s Common Stock, failed to timely file their respective Form 3 due to a delay in obtaining the necessary paperwork from overseas as each is a non-U.S. person, though such Forms 3 were filed.  Other than as disclosed in the previous sentence, to the Company’s knowledge, no director, officer or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of any class of equity securities of the Company failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.
 
Audit Committee

We do not presently have a separately-designated standing Audit Committee.  The entire Board of Directors acts as the Audit Committee.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

We do not presently have a qualified financial expert serving on our Board of Directors as we do not have adequate financial resources at this time to hire such an expert.

On July 12, 2006, Mr. Mot was granted a five year option to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Plastinum common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The options vest over a three year period with 1,000,000 options vesting on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The option grant was valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model assuming a two year life, no expected dividend payments, a volatility of 136% and a risk free rate of 4.9%.
   
(2)
On April 18, 2008, Mr. Mot was granted 14,400,000 Options to purchase our Common Stock under our 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.  The grant was subject to stockholder approval which was received on July 1, 2008.  The Options expire on April 18, 2013.  Subject to Mr. Mot remaining in our employ, one-sixth of the Options vest on each of the following dates if the following respective milestones have been attained by such dates: (i) on December 31, 2008, if at least one fully operational factory in The Netherlands capable of processing 15,000 tons of eWaste per year at full capacity has been established, (ii) on December 31, 2009 if at least one fully operational factory anywhere in the world has been established and (iii) on December 31, 2010 if at least four fully operational factories have been established anywhere in the world.  (The milestones may be adjusted by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors at its discretion at the beginning of the respective calendar year).  Further, on such date as our market capitalization exceeds $300 million, if that date occurs on or prior to April 18, 2011, then double the number of Options granted to Mr. Mot that have already vested and those yet subject to vesting on each milestone date that has not yet occurred will become vested.  The December 31, 2008 milestone was not attained and therefore 4,800,000 options terminated on that date. The option grant was valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model assuming an estimated life of .5 - 2.75 years, no expected dividend payments, a volatility of 129%, and a risk-free interest rate of 2.1% - 3%.

On April 18, 2008, Mr. Berten was granted 6,000,000 Options to purchase our Common Stock under our 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.  The Options expire on April 18, 2013.  Subject to Mr. Berten remaining in our employ, one-sixth of the Options vest on each of the following dates if the following respective milestones have been attained by such dates: (i) on December 31, 2008, if at least one fully operational factory in The Netherlands capable of processing 15,000 tons of eWaste per year at full capacity has been established, (ii) on December 31, 2009 if at least one fully operational factory anywhere in the world has been established and (iii) on December 31, 2010 if at least four fully operational factories have been established anywhere in the world.  (The milestones may be adjusted by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors at its discretion at the beginning of the respective calendar year).  Further, on such date as our market capitalization exceeds $300 million, if that date occurs on or prior to April 18, 2011, then double the number of Options granted to Mr. Berten that have already vested and those yet subject to vesting on each milestone date that has not yet occurred will become vested.  The December 31, 2008 milestone was not attained and therefore 2,000,000 options terminated on that date. The option grant was valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model assuming an estimated life of 1 - 3 years, no expected dividend payments, a volatility of 106%, and a risk-free interest rate of 1.7% - 2.6%.
    
Employment Agreements
 
New Generation Holdings, Inc. (“NGH”), the Company’s former parent, entered into a Consulting Agreement with Jacques Mot dated July 5, 2000 pursuant to which Mr. Mot received $27,000 per month for his services to NGH. The Agreement has a one (1) year term with automatic renewal unless terminated by either party. As of January 1, 2005, Mr. Mot became an employee of NGH and Plastinum and until October 31, 2007 he received the same compensation as an employee of NGH and Plastinum as he had received from NGH under his Consulting Agreement.
 
On December 3, 2007, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and ratified payment of a base salary of $60,000 per month to Mr. Mot effective November 1, 2007 as compensation for services being provided by him to the Corporation in his capacity as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. Mr. Mot is be permitted to receive his compensation in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, at Mr. Mot’s sole election and at any time prior to the payment thereof, at a price per share equal to $0.39 (the average closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board during October 2007).

 
28

 

Pursuant to an engagement letter with Robert Scherne, CPA, P.C. dated February 10, 2006, NGH and Plastinum retained Robert Scherne as interim Chief Financial Officer on a consulting basis. Pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter, through December 31, 2006, Mr. Scherne was paid at an hourly rate of $150 per hour, $90 of which was payable in cash and $60 of which was payable in restricted shares of NGH common stock. The amount of common stock due to Mr. Scherne was determined on a monthly basis by dividing $60 per billed hour by 50% of the average trading price of NGH common stock for the prior ninety days. As of January 1, 2007, Mr. Scherne has received the equity portion of his compensation in the form of either NGH shares or Plastinum shares, depending upon his efforts for the two entities, utilizing the same formula described above. Mr. Scherne's engagement may be terminated by either party upon notice to the other party. Mr. Scherne also received the number of shares of Plastinum common stock equal to the number of NGH shares earned at December 31, 2006 as a result of the spin off of Plastinum.
 
On January 3, 2008, Plastinum entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Nils Berten pursuant to which Mr. Berten was appointed the Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective January 7, 2008. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Berten will receive an initial base salary of €115,200 per year. The base salary will rise to €163,200 after six months upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Mr. Berten will also be entitled to a bonus payment of between 25% and 75% of his base salary, dependant on the attainment of performance targets, and will be entitled to receive payments during the term of his employ towards retirement savings as well as other standard benefits. The Employment Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party by providing notice to the other party. However, if Plastinum terminates the Employment Agreement without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Berten will be entitled to continue to receive his base salary for a three month period.

We do not currently have a formal compensation plan for members of our Board of Directors for service on our Board of Directors, but we expect that such a compensation plan for Directors will be adopted in the future, and Directors are eligible to receive options under our existing long-term stock option incentive plan.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
 
The Company has received advances from Mr. Jacques Mot, our President and Chief Executive Officer, for working capital purposes.  As of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the outstanding amount of such advances was $25,890 and $492,439, respectively.  The advances are non-interest bearing.

Pierre Kladny, a nominee to the Board of Directors, is the Managing Partner of ValleyRoad Capital SA (“ValleyRoad”) and owns 52% of its share capital. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with ValleyRoad (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), a private placement of $6,165,000 of the Company’s securities were sold as of July 31, 2008. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, ValleyRoad became entitled to a success fee equal to $279,250 through such private placements arranged by ValleyRoad as well as the payment of ValleyRoad’s out-of-pocket expenses.
 
We had made payments on behalf of NGH, our former parent, primarily for the payment of professional fees incurred by NGH and certain NGH accounts payable. Mr. Jacques  Mot, our President and Chief Executive Officer and principal stockholder of NGH, repaid those advances, aggregating $271,522, during the fourth quarter of 2008 through a reduction of accrued compensation due to him.
 
There have been no transactions, or series of similar transactions, during 2008, or any currently proposed transaction, or series of similar transactions, to which the Company was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded or is expected to exceed $120,000 and in which any director of our company, any executive officer of our company, any shareholder owning of record or beneficially 5% or more of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest except as otherwise disclosed in this report (a “Related Person Transaction”).

The Company’s policy with regards to Related Person Transactions requires that where a transaction has been identified as a Related Person Transaction, the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company must approve or ratify it. Management must present to such independent members of the Board of Directors a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related persons, the benefits to the Company of the transaction and whether any alternative transactions were available. To identify Related Person Transactions, the Company relies on information supplied by its executive officers and Directors. In considering Related Person Transactions, the independent members of the Board of Directors take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to (a) the risks, costs and benefits to the Company, (b) the impact on a Director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a Director or an entity with which a Director is affiliated, (c) the terms of the transaction, (d) the availability of other sources for comparable services or products and (e) the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally. In the event a Director has an interest in the proposed transaction, the Director must recuse himself or herself from the deliberations and approval. In determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a Related Person Transaction, the independent members of the Board of Directors look at, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, as determined by them in the good faith exercise of their discretion.

The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Rokegem is “independent” and that each of  Mr. Mot and Mr. Kladny is not “independent” as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
 
The Company currently does not have a separately-designated standing Audit Committee, and accordingly, the Company's Board of Directors' policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the Company's Board of Directors regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Board of Directors may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.
