f) Stock Purchase Agreement – C.C. Crawford Retreading Company, Inc.

On March 20, 2011, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, DEDC, entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with C.C. Crawford Tire Company, Inc. (the “Seller”), pursuant to which DEDC agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of C.C. Crawford Retreading Company, Inc., a Texas corporation (“CTR”), for an aggregate purchase price of $600,000 in cash, due and payable upon the date of closing, on or before April 20, 2012, subject to the completion of certain closing conditions precedent, to be performed by both the Seller and DEDC.

 

As of the date of this filing, the closing had not commenced due to certain outstanding closing conditions of executed Stock Purchase Agreement. Both parties continue to work closely together to complete these outstanding closing conditions, but there is no guarantee the parties will be able to come to agreement on such items. However, the Company anticipates that the parties will complete the transaction within the second quarter 2012.

 

Management projects that CTR will have on its books (unaudited) on the date of closing approximately $838,000 in assets, approximately $418,000 in liabilities, and approximately $420,000 in equity. As part of the agreement, DED and DEAC agree to assume and immediately cause to be paid off approximately $350,000 of the CTR liabilities immediately after the closing.

 

It is a condition of closing that DED provide either a funding commitment for $1,000,000 or proof of $1,000,000 in cash in its accounts, which funds will be needed to close the transaction and provide working capital to CTR after the closing. Neither DED nor DEAC have sufficient funds to meet this condition at this date, and as a result, closing of the acquisition transaction remains contingent on DEAC’s raising of $1,000,000 in capital by the closing date. Whether such capital can be obtained, or obtained on commercially reasonable terms, remains uncertain at this date. If such funds cannot be obtained on a timely basis, then the transaction will not proceed.

 

The agreement contains customary warranties and representations and indemnification and confidentiality provisions, as well as a three-year non-compete by the selling shareholders and their affiliates. Either party may terminate the Agreement if it has not closed by April 20, 2012, without penalty.

 

DEAC is still conducting its due diligence investigation of CTR and its business at this time, prior to close. CTR collects and recycles approximately 4 million pounds of waste tires annually. The assets of the CTR entity include the ownership of the 10-acre site and 35,000 square feet of buildings that management believes could provide the basis for a future waste tire pyrolysis energy campus. During its last fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, CTR reported (unaudited) $1,231,000 in revenues, and net income before tax of $138,000.

 

g) Non-binding Term Sheet – R.F.B., LLC

On March 31, 2012, DEDC entered into a non-binding term sheet with R.F.B., LLC (“RFB”), pursuant to which RFB agreed to license and assign to DEDC a Non-Provisional Patent Application (the “Application”), for a confidential aggregate purchase price to be paid in the form of the issuance of shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, contingent upon preparation and execution of a definitive agreement covering the transaction, and the completion of certain other closing conditions to be performed by both RFB and DEDC.

 

The definitive agreement was to be executed on or before April 30, 2012, with a subsequent date of closing, to be mutually agreed to by RFB and DEDC. As of the date of this filing, the parties have not executed a definitive agreement and there is no guarantee that such definitive agreement will be executed. However, the Company anticipates that the parties will complete the transaction within the second quarter 2012.

 

Pursuant to the term sheet, RFB will assign and grant to DEDC, an exclusive, worldwide license and right in and to RFB’s catalyst(s) and reactor technology relating to the recovery of high value organics from the processing of scrap tires (the “RFB Technology”). RFB consents that DEDC may utilize the RFB Technology in (a) the development and manufacture of goods and products; and (b) the design, construction and modification of plants (new and existing). Further, RFB will allow DEDC to sell to third parties (i) goods and products produced by utilization of RFB Technology; and (ii) plants utilizing RFB Technology.

 

As additional consideration, RFB will also receive a revenue share of the high-value organic compounds produced by DEDC and/or its assigns, utilizing the RFB catalysts(s) and reactor technology; and (b) a percentage of the net profits realized from the recovery of energy products recovered from oil sands or tar sands. The anticipated term of the license will be the greater of (i) 25 years and (ii) 20 years from the notice of allowance relative to the Application. The specific compensation terms of the license are based on trade secrets that are considered confidential and therefore are not being released.
