This annual report on Form 10-K contains a number of “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Specifically, all statements other than statements of historical facts included in this annual report regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When used in this annual report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “hope,” “continue” and “intend,” and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to our financial position, business strategy and plans, or objectives of management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to various factors including, without limitation, those described starting on page 36 of this annual report under the heading “Risk Factors” and in our registration statements and periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Although we believe that our expectations are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will prove to be correct. Should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this annual report as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, hoped or intended.

References in this annual report to “the Company,” “Startech,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Startech Environmental Corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary on a consolidated basis, unless otherwise stated.

Overview

Startech is an environmental technology company commercializing its proprietary plasma processing technology known as the Plasma Converter™ that achieves closed-loop elemental recycling that irreversibly destroys hazardous and non-hazardous waste and industrial by-products while converting them into useful commercial products. These products include a rich synthesis gas called PCG (Plasma Converted Gas)™ surplus energy for power, hydrogen, metals and silicates for use and for sale.

Background

Startech is an environmental technology corporation that manufactures, markets and sells a recycling system called the Plasma Converter for the global marketplace. Until January 2002, we were solely engaged in the manufacture and sale of equipment for use by others. Thereafter, we have attempted to broaden the scope of our available revenue opportunities. This change was brought about by management’s decision to expand its market penetration strategies and opportunities. Rather than only market and sell our products for use by others, we are now seeking opportunities to become directly involved in the operation and use of our products. We reconsidered our stated philosophy of not engaging in the processing of feedstock materials and/or waste and decided that it was timely to seek out and include all possible market penetration strategies, including build-own-operate, build–own- transfer of ownership, and joint development projects.

By concentrating on re-positioning our Company for long-term growth, we did not achieve the sales goals we anticipated would occur in the 2004, 2005 and 2006 fiscal years. However, we believe this new way of approaching the market over time will help achieve maximum penetration in the shortest timeframe.

We believe specific events are driving demand for our Plasma Converter. They include:

Increases in waste, and in particular hazardous wastes, due to rising consumer/industrial consumption and population growth in most nations;

Current waste disposal and remediation techniques such as landfills and incineration are becoming regulatory, socially and environmentally unacceptable;

A need for critical resources such as power and water to sustain local economies; and

The emphasis being placed upon the production of distributed power and the need to provide alternatives to fossil fuels.

Our core plasma technology addresses these waste and resource issues by offering remediation solutions that are integrated with a range of equipment solutions and services. We believe these products will add value to our customers’ business so they can now realize revenue streams from disposal or processing fees, a reduction in material disposal costs, as well as from the sale of resulting commodity products and services. Alternatively, we believe this will allow our customers to generate a valuable product while at the same time using a zero cost basis, or revenue generating source of raw material (waste). The costs of hazardous waste treatment and disposal methods continue to rise, and now range approximately from $900 to more than $2,000 per ton. This does not include the additional processing, handling, packaging, insurance and management costs sustained by the hazardous waste generator within its facility prior to final disposal.

Since 1995, we have been actively educating and promoting to our customers the benefits of the plasma converter over other forms of waste remediation technologies. Ongoing education of the public and government is continuing. Like most new technologies we have been met with varying degrees of resistance. A rising comfort level with our plasma converter technology resulting in part from our educational and informational efforts has created additional awareness in the marketplace. We have taken steps to transform our business model from being solely a seller of equipment to a total solutions provider, including facility ownership or management.

Our business model and its market development strategies arise from our mission, which is to change the way the world views and employs discarded materials. What many would now call waste we view as a feedstock. We expect to achieve this objective by strategically marketing a series of products and services emanating from the core Plasma Converter technology, resulting in saleable fossil fuel alternatives while providing a safer and healthier environment. This strategy will be implemented through Plasma Converter sales with after sales support and service, build-own-operate/build-own-transfer of ownership facilities, joint development projects and engineering services.

Markets

We view the future of our business as divided into three key market segments; power/energy, waste remediation, and engineering services. Projects are generally categorized according to the specific or stated objective of the customer, waste remediation or power generation. A customer may have a need to remediate a particularly onerous waste such as PCBs but has no need to produce commodity products. The goal is to simply get rid of waste. That would be considered a waste remediation project. Conversely, a customer in an area with limited or high cost power may want to select a waste stream to give the greatest amount of Plasma Converted Gas ™ with which to produce power to run his system or for other power uses. The production of power is the desired benefit and the feedstock (waste material) selected is chosen for the highest quality commodity product produced, in this case electric power. The market for our Plasma Converter System is for on-site use by industrial, institutional and government facilities, and also for commercial facilities that process waste under contract.

Our market for the sale of Plasma Converter Systems will be made up of sales to:

Generators of waste; and

Processors of waste.

Startech’s revenues and profits are produced by:

(1)

the sale of its systems that may also include a continuing, revenue-producing “tolling fee” for each pound of material processed; and

(2)

building and owning commercial Plasma Converter facilities operated separately by the Company or in partnership.

Power/Energy

This segment includes projects that incorporate equipment that create power/energy products to work in conjunction with our core Plasma Converter technology. Distributed power requirements and peak power demands have identified expanded opportunities. With energy prices reaching record levels during 2006, we believe our technology will become more attractive to energy companies producers and companies that require a substantial amount of energy.

Waste Remediation

This part of our business includes projects where the emphasis of the customer is to dispose of its waste material in an environmentally responsible, and cost effective, manner. Waste material disposal costs vary greatly depending on the composition of the waste. We are specifically targeting customers that will receive the most economic gain from using our technology. Examples of such waste streams are:

Medical waste

Pharmaceutical waste

PCBs

Municipal solid wastes

Incinerator ash

Biological contaminants

Sewer and power-plant-scrubber sludge

Paints and solvents

Electronic industry waste

Contaminated soils

Asbestos and other hazardous waste streams

We further delineate these markets into the following categories:

Onsite Treatment – Includes:

Hospitals and medical centers.

Industrial hazardous waste generators such as petrochemical, chemical, refining, and metals companies.

Industrial hazardous waste processors.

Government agencies such as Department of Defense and the Department of Energy.

Offsite Treatment (at an integrated waste management facility) – Includes waste management and/or transport companies.

Mobile Treatment – Includes all of the above who value the ability to move quickly from site to site.

Sales Strategy

Central to our growth strategy is maximizing market penetration and reducing the barriers of entry while optimizing our revenue sources. To achieve that objective, we have identified three key marketing strategies that make up the overall model. They are:

Equipment Sales: We will continue to be a direct seller of our products to customers who prefer to purchase and operate our equipment. We will sell our Plasma Converter and associated equipment to a customer with no equity position in the project. However, we will offer Long Term Service Agreements to create residual or ongoing revenue in this area.

Build-Own-Operate/Transfer Of Ownership Projects: We are actively seeking to develop opportunities to own and operate Plasma Converter facilities in various markets. These projects are attractive where long-term agreements with guaranteed waste streams and high value processing and or disposal fees are contracted for and will significantly increase ongoing revenue streams. The revenue generated by these types of projects has been shown to be up to ten times that realized from a straight equipment sale over the life of the project.

Joint-Development Projects: In a joint development project we will assume an equity position in return for a reduced purchase price on our equipment and associated engineering and management services. An additional advantage is that we receive the certainty of revenue from a direct sale along with the ability to realize future ongoing revenue from the operations of the sole source joint development company.

An important part of our development of world markets is our sales network. We sell systems through independent representatives and distributors, which we believe helps keep sales costs variable and low. Representatives are paid a commission on sales. Distributors purchase systems, mark them up, and re-sell them to customers. Distributors are also responsible for supplying after sales parts and service.

Our senior management also sells directly to customers, in addition to seeking out projects for build-own- operate and build-own-transfer of ownership facilities. Such customers and projects might include large corporations with activities in many states or countries, or sovereign governments where the complexity of the bidding process on projects requires a large degree of company time and attention.

We manufacture modular, skid-mounted systems that are transportable in standard tri-modal containers for shipment globally.

The Company requires down payments and progress payments to be scheduled (for direct sales and co-venture projects) so that cash flow in the manufacturing process will be positive. Startech will obtain project financing against guaranteed waste streams/tipping fees for Build-Own-Operate (BOO) projects to fund manufacturing, shipping, and installation costs before facility startup. In addition, the Company will incorporate performance insurance for BOO projects to guarantee performance on the specific waste stream to be processed as well as obtaining necessary local permits to begin operation.

Revenues will occasionally be derived from engineering services and testing. We perform paid-for engineering services, where we believe those services may lead to equipment sales.

Primary Customers

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, 28% of our revenue was derived from the amortization of distributorship agreements. In addition, 56% of our revenue was generated from the sale and installation of manufactured parts to one customer, while 16% of our revenue was generated from consulting and design services for one customer.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, 63% of our revenue was derived from the amortization of distributorship agreements. In addition, 19% of our revenue was generated from the sale and installation of manufactured parts to one customer, while 18% of our revenue was generated from consulting and design services for one customer.

Plasma Converter™ Demand

We believe that the primary factors that create the demand for our Plasma Converters include the need for customers to:

Reduce the costs for hazardous and toxic waste disposal;

Eliminate personal and organizational liability associated with hazardous and toxic waste disposal;

Comply with present and anticipated environmental regulations in a cost-effective manner;

Recover products for use or sale; and

Destroy wastes completely, safely and irreversibly.

We believe our Plasma Converter will meet customers’ needs because our system:

Reduces the cost and risk associated with hazardous waste generation and disposal;

Performs safer than prevailing environmental standards;

Converts wastes into products for use or for sale;

Destroys wastes safely and irreversibly; and

Comes in small and large system capacities, in stationary and mobile configurations.

A device generally referred to as a plasma torch, although there is no fire involved in the device, produces the plasma lightening-like arc in the Plasma Converter vessel to produce a plume of radiant energy. The Plasma Converter therefore is an electrically driven system that produces an intense field of radiant energy within the plasma vessel that causes the dissociation of the molecular bonds of solid, liquid, and gaseous compounds for materials of both hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. We refer to this destruction process as “molecular dissociation.”

Dissociation causes the molecules of the waste material to be separated into their elemental components (atoms), and reformed by the Plasma Converter System into special recoverable, commodity products. The process is not a combustion or burning process, and the system should not be confused with an incinerator or a vitrification process. It is the intense energy field produced by the plasma plume within the Plasma Converter vessel that drives the dissociation process.

The Plasma Converter vessel operates at normal atmospheric pressure quietly and safely. While the interior temperature of the plasma plume is about 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature of the refractory walls inside the vessel is maintained at about 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit and is the lowest temperature experienced within the vessel. On the average most waste material will be dissociated or melted at temperatures exceeding 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Plasma Converter consists of many well-proven process components currently used in the metallurgical and chemical industries. Solid wastes being fed to our system are automatically fed through an air-locked infeed port, and the feeding is ordinarily on a continuous basis. Liquids, gases and sludges can also be fed or pumped directly into the vessel through a pipe port. Bulk solids, liquids, gases and sludge may be fed in and processed simultaneously.

The Plasma Converted Gas (PCG)™ a synthesis gas recovered from our system is drawn out of the vessel and put through our gas-polishing unit. The molten silicates, inorganics and metals, if any, are removed at the lower side of the Plasma Converter vessel through a melt discharge port and recovery procedure.

Recovered products can be used or sold as commodities for use in various manufacturing processes. It is expected that most of the Plasma Converted Gas will be used as a fuel gas and to a lesser degree, as a chemical feed stock; silicate materials recovered will be used in the ceramics, abrasives or the construction industries; the metallic components can be used or be readily available for sale with little or no additional processing. There is a newly developing interest in PCG™ to produce hydrogen by use of our patented StarCell™ system. The economic justification for the use of our systems in hazardous waste applications does not depend on any revenues from the use or sale of the recovered commodity products, but the emergence of StarCell™ Hydrogen may modify that attitude.

Recovered Commodity Products

The Plasma Converter processes the wastes (matter) in such a way that the elemental components of the feedstock can be recovered in from one to three distinct phases:

(1)

synthesis gas (PCG™, Plasma Converted Gas) that exits the chamber;

(2)

inorganic, glass-like (obsidian-like) silicates which form a separate layer above the liquid metal (if there is a sufficient quantity of metal in the feed stock, with small quantities of metal encapsulated in the silicate stone); and

(3)

liquid metallic elements, if in sufficient quantities, which collect and are automatically discharged at the base of the vessel.

Depending on the composition of the feedstock, any one phase may be produced, any two phases may be produced, or all three may be produced. However, the Company’s experience indicates that the most likely commodity-product recover-phase will be in two parts:

(1)

the PCG™ GAS-PHASE; and

(2)

the SOLID-PHASE in which the inorganic silicate, containing metals, will be produced.

Energy Produced and Volume Reduced

Carbon is abundantly present in the products and the wastes of the industrial world. Such materials are inherently rich in latent chemical energy such as one would find in fuel. When carbonaceous waste feedstocks of many industrial wastes, infectious hospital waste, municipal solid waste, shipboard waste, and such are processed, the Startech system will consume 1 unit of electrical energy while producing about 4 units of energy residing in the PCG™. With the improved efficiencies of electrical generating units, the 4 units of energy residing in the PCG™ can be used to create 2 units of electrical energy.

Materials such as scrap tires, for example, will produce recovered commodity products in two phases: the PCG™ gas phase and the metal phase, if metal exists. Because materials such as plastics, solvents, and tires are so rich in energy, they will produce a relatively large amount of PCG™ with a high-energy content that will result in approximately 6-8 units of recovered PCG™ energy for each unit of electrical energy used in the process.

In some applications, the Plasma Converter will produce enough energy for its own needs, and produce a surplus that can be sold to the local electrical grid, or used in the customer’s facility to reduce the need for purchased power or purchased fuel. Not all wastes produce PCG™. For example, processing contaminated soil will produce no appreciable amount of PCG™.

The volume reduction of these solid wastes, when processed in the Plasma Converter, is approximately 300 to 1. Waste streams composed primarily of hazardous or non-hazardous paper, cloth, plastic, food, pharmaceutical, explosives, paints, solvents, PCBs, confiscated drugs, filters, oils, and so on will result in so few solids as to produce volume reductions approaching infinity. Materials such as this are also very rich in elements such as carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen and the processing results almost entirely in the PCG™ commodity synthesis gas. In addition to the volume reduction, none of the remaining materials, if any, are hazardous in nature.

Waste feedstocks that have a relatively high metal content will produce a separate liquid metal phase that can be recovered directly from the system for resale or reuse in the metallurgical industry.

Our system may also achieve volume reductions on low-level radioactive surrogate waste of approximately 300 to 1. Other present methods of volume reduction include compaction and incineration that produce overall volume reductions of about 8 to 1. Our system will not reduce the radioactivity of the low-level radioactive waste nor do we believe that can be done by any other system, but the volume of that waste may be significantly reduced. Industries that may benefit from this process are utilities, research laboratories and hospitals that store the reduced low-level radioactive waste material on-site until it can be shipped off site to a special repository. The cost for that method can be many thousands of dollars per ton. The continued availability of the few repository sites that exist, are problematic and uncertain. We believe our system can increase a site’s storage capacity.

What is Plasma?

Plasma is simply a gas (air) that the Plasma Converter ionizes so it becomes an effective electrical conductor and produces a lightning-like arc of electricity that is the source of the intense energy transferred to the waste material as radiant energy. The arc in the plasma plume within the vessel can be as high as 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit ... three times hotter than the surface of the Sun. When waste materials are subjected to the intensity of the energy transfer within the vessel, the excitation of the wastes molecular bonds is so great that the waste-materials’ molecules break apart into their elemental components (atoms). It is the absorption of this energy by the waste material that forces the waste destruction and elemental dissociation.

How The Process Works

The basic Plasma Converter system consists of the following:

In-feed System

Plasma Vessel

Cooling Process

Filtration Process

Neutralization Process

Figure 1. Process Overview of PCS

Feed System

(GRAPHIC OMITTED)

The feed mechanism can simultaneously accommodate any proportion or combination of solid, liquid and gaseous feedstocks. Solid wastes, depending upon their composition, can be pumped, screw fed, or ram fed into the plasma vessel. A shredder ahead of the feed system may be appropriate to achieve size reduction or object separation prior to direct system feed.

Liquid wastes, including sludges, can be pumped directly into the PCS through the wall of the plasma vessel through a special infeed nozzle. The liquid feed system is designed to also accommodate any entrained solids that may be present.

Similarly, gaseous feedstocks may also be introduced into the plasma vessel through a specially designed nozzle.

The plasma vessel is a cylindrical two-part container made of stainless steel with an opening in the roof through which the plasma torch is inserted. The vessel is lined with insulation and refractory to allow both maximum retention of internal energy and to protect the stainless steel container from the intense heat inside the vessel. The plasma vessel is equipped with inspection ports (including a video camera so the operator can see real time images inside the vessel to assist in PCS operation), openings for introduction of feedstocks, and an exit port for removal of excess molten material. The smaller vessels are designed to remove molten material periodically through an automated tipping mechanism during which time the vessel may or may not remain in continuous operation. A design enhancement incorporated into the most recently constructed system is a continuous melt extraction feature which maintains the level of molten material in the plasma vessel at or below a preset limit without interrupting the operation of the system. This melt extraction system can be deployed with all sizes of Plasma Converters.

The plasma vessel is specially designed to ensure that no feedstock material is able to reach the exit port without first passing through the plasma energy field and undergoing complete molecular dissociation. The method by which this is accomplished forms a part of Startech’s intellectual property. In addition, the plasma vessel is maintained at a slight negative pressure to ensure that no gases can escape to atmosphere.

The plasma torch system is a commercially available product that Startech can purchase from any number of reputable vendors. Comparable plasma systems have been used extensively in the metallurgical industry for decades. The most maintenance-intensive aspect of the PCS is the need to periodically replace electrodes, which occurs approximately every 300 to 500 hours of operation. Electrode replacement can be accomplished in approximately 30 minutes thus ensuring minimum downtime of the PCS.

The PCS is also equipped with a torch positioner system that allows the operator to aim the torch at different points within the plasma vessel. This aspect of the PCS allows the operator to quickly and efficiently treat feedstocks as they enter the vessel and move around inside the vessel to avoid any build-up of solidified melt that may occur on the vessel walls.

Our Plasma Converter that is being used for our demonstration and training unit in our Bristol, Connecticut facility continues to be a very active marketing tool in showcasing our technology to potential customers, investors and governmental agencies. We have been proactive in utilizing this facility for training and also running some surrogate testing for specific customers.

StarCell™ development and technology —

In Startech’s Plasma Converter System (PCS), organic wastes and other feedstocks are dissociated and reformed to create a synthesis gas predominantly hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The synthesis gas produced in the dissociation process of these materials, particularly the hydrogen component, has an expanding commercial demand. Single step gasification and reforming of feedstocks, utilizing the PCS is one potential answer to both distributed and large scale hydrogen production. The economics of the gasification process are especially favorable when gasifying organic waste including pesticides, tires, medical waste and municipal solid waste into high purity hydrogen fuel.

To enhance the fuel production capability of the Plasma Converter System, Startech has built upon current and past research to develop StarCell a ceramic membrane technology for the isolation and purification of Hydrogen from a mixed gas stream. This technology has far reaching applications in the emerging hydrogen economy for virtually any hydrogen purification application.

During 2006, Startech has continued the capability of our StarCell product with Department of Energy (“DOE”) projects in the developmental and testing of varied waste streams to define and establish baseline information in the performance and yield of the StarCell membrane. We are currently completing the second phase of testing and preparing the final technical report for DOE. It is expected to issue our findings during the first half of 2007 and present the Startech Technical Report at the DOE annual conference held each year. Phase II testing incorporated the data findings from the Phase I test completed in 2005 and the lessoned learned from this testing provided the ability for additional performance evaluation of the ceramic membrane and other independent analysis of alternative feedstock’s for DOE.

StarCell™ is the Company’s patented hydrogen selective membrane device that separates hydrogen from Plasma Converted Gas (PCG™). PCG™ is a synthesis-fuel gas mixture produced from processing material through the Plasma Converter. The increasing importance of the need for alternative energy sources and the emergence of the “Hydrogen Economy” drove our development of StarCell™.

There are essentially two principal uses of energy:

first, stationary energy for electrical power generation and heating; and

second, mobile energy such as that used for transportation propulsion systems (i.e. the energy you can put in a fuel tank and take with you).

Any discussion on energy-related issues, such as air pollution, dependable energy supplies, and global climate change, further illuminates the need for alternative fuels. Hydrogen offers very large benefits by eliminating polluting emissions and greenhouse gases, and, with the StarCell™ technology, hydrogen can become a more readily and cheaply available alternate primary energy fuel. Hydrogen, like electricity, is a premium-quality energy carrier. It can be used with high efficiency, and with zero tailpipe and zero stack emissions.

Besides producing the Plasma Converter, we are also developing equipment that can recover hydrogen from a variety of feedstocks including coal and the wastes of the world. This capability will help make it possible to have a large-scale dependable energy system with essentially no pollutants and with no climate-changing gases.

Hydrogen is clearly recognized as a very real alternative to our always-depleting reservoir of fossil fuel. But more than that, hydrogen is the pristine fuel. When used as a fuel, it produces only water vapor (fresh water) as the by-product. Although energy production is not our main objective, the ability to separate this highly sought after gas from an already valuable synthesis gas will be another step forward in our mission to achieve broad market acceptance of our primary product, the Plasma Converter.

StarCell™ is not a fuel cell; it is a ceramic membrane filtration system that extracts hydrogen from PCG™. Because hydrogen is such a small molecule, smaller than all the others in the PCG™ gas mixture, it can be pushed through the filtering membrane to allow the hydrogen to be separated from the PCG™.

PCG™ is produced from wastes; it is a gas mixture containing a large quantity of hydrogen. Hydrogen is a valuable commodity with many commercial uses. It also is a pristine fuel that produces no carbon by-products. Pound-for-pound, hydrogen contains more energy punch than all the other fuels; and, when used in fuel cells or engines produces only clean water vapor.

StarCell™ Hydrogen can feed fuel cells and hydrogen engines. StarCell™ Hydrogen is a fuel that can produce clean electricity and clean propulsion systems. The combination of the Plasma Converter with StarCell™ can produce hydrogen on a large scale from the wastes of the world, and at a very low cost. Our customers who use a Plasma Converter with a StarCell™ will get paid for processing the incoming waste at the front end, and will be paid for the hydrogen at the back end. People sometimes forget that waste, even hazardous waste, is an ever-present, and much overlooked, valuable and renewable resource.

Hydrogen is a very valuable commercial gas that is produced by various thermo-chemical industrial methods. Hydrogen gas is used in many industrial processes to make products that we use every day. These products include cooking oils, peanut butter, soap, insulation, metals, drugs, vitamins, adhesives, cosmetics, ammonia, fuels, and plastics and so on. Hydrogen is also used extensively to propel spacecraft because it is very light and has very high energy content. Hydrogen is used as a fuel to produce pollution-free electricity in fuel cells.

The paradox is, that while hydrogen is the most abundant material in the universe, it is not readily accessible. Expensive and sophisticated chemical-industry processes must extract it. Nearly all of the hydrogen produced today is made from fossil fuels. These fuels consist primarily of molecules made up of carbon and hydrogen. To produce hydrogen from these fossil fuel molecules, they must be “reformed” with steam and/or oxygen in a complex thermo-chemical process consisting of many steps. The products of reformation are hydrogen gas and carbon-gas species. The traditional industrial process further purifies and separates the hydrogen from the rest of the stream by various methods. This expensive reformation process is exactly what our Plasma Converter does in the process of destroying most feedstock. In other words, we get the reformation process from the Plasma Converter for no additional costs.

Competition

We believe we are the industry leader in the use of plasma technology to rid the world of its waste problem and/or create valuable alternative power sources and industrial products. There are other plasma-based technologies in various stages of development that claim to achieve some, but not all, of the benefits achieved by our system. However, the fact that the commercial use of plasma for waste destruction resulting in power and product creation is in its early stages makes competitive comparisons difficult. We welcome the presence of other plasma technologies. The market for plasma technology is huge and the existence of competing technologies provides credibility to the industry.

We believe we are positioned to take advantage of the recognition of plasma technology as an alternative to conventional forms of waste disposal. We have spent substantial money, time and effort educating the public and private sectors on the benefits of our technology and believe we will reap the rewards of that effort.

We believe the following are a few of our competitive advantages:

Low total system cost that allows our customers to make money with our system

Operating performance far safer than prevailing environmental standards

The ability to process solids, liquids, and gases simultaneously

Versatile feed systems and vessel openings that allow a wide variety of feed streams

Advanced stage of power producing peripheral equipment

Unmatched advanced design and operating performance of our complete system

Management’s experience with plasma and its commercial application

Depth and breadth of manufacturing knowledge and experience

Greater access to capital markets as a public company over private companies

Fully trained distributors and representatives

Multiple modes of operations

We believe the following are our competitive disadvantages;

Our cash position relative to other multi-national companies who may enter this field as it grows

Market place resistance to new technologies when dealing with the public health and safety

We believe many potentially competitive technologies are limited to a narrow number of waste feed-streams. In some of those technologies, if the system does not receive exactly what it expects, even something as benign as water or metals, the process may be ineffective and possibly dangerous. In the waste industry, it is difficult to specify the exact composition of a waste stream in a real world application. By their very nature, waste streams are sometimes made up of unknown and unpredictable materials. For any processing system to be commercially successful it must be able to safely and effectively process unpredictable waste streams without system upsets. Our Plasma Converter can handle great deviations in the waste stream content. We believe many of the potentially competitive technologies have yet to demonstrate capabilities beyond small laboratory or bench scale devices that use precisely controlled waste streams under precisely controlled conditions. They may also produce undesirable and hazardous by-products.

We believe the following companies are potential competitors in the plasma industry:

Integrated Environmental Technologies (IET); and

MSE Technology Applications, Inc. (MSE)

IET offers a very different system from our technology. IET uses a carbon rod plasma arc system whereas we use a plasma torch based system. MSE, like Startech, is a plasma torch based system.

There are difficulties present in comparing technologies in our industry that are not present in established industries. The commercial nature of any plasma-based system is based upon the performance data received and the versatility of the material feedstock that can be processed. Further, in addition to the performance data and versatility of feedstock, the commercial uses for the system can be greatly enhanced by the number of peripheral devices that can be added to the system to make use of the saleable gas, silicate and metals that the system produces to create a total solution. Because this industry is just beginning to develop, there is very little empirical evidence in the public domain regarding the performance data of each competing technology. Therefore, performance comparisons are not available. However, some of our competitive advantages are not data related, but are the direct result of the versatility in the feedstock variations we can accommodate and in the advanced level of our system design. Additionally, we know of no competitor who is offering the variety of uses for the gas and silicates that Startech can offer.

Besides those companies mentioned specifically, there are a number of other companies that advertise a capability using plasma technology. We have no way of knowing the status of these companies or if they are even ongoing concerns. Since many of them are small, private companies it is very difficult to know what, if any, capabilities are ready for the commercial market. We are not aware of any competitive company that has a commercial site up and operating other than those we have named above.

In addition, we believe that other waste disposal methods may be considered as competition. These methods are summarized as follows:

Landfill Dumping: the least expensive in the short term and one of the most environmentally dangerous of all waste disposal methods.

Incineration: even though the permitting of new incinerator installations is being dramatically reduced, and the method has fallen into great disfavor both in the U.S. and internationally, this rather primitive method of disposal is still presently accepted by many although the emissions produced are regarded as pollutants, and large quantities of toxic bottom ash and fly ash are produced which are eventually deposited into landfills in the community.

Intellectual Property

We have developed and acquired proprietary technology. Our technologies are comprised of a variety of overall coordinated system and subsystem concepts, detailed mechanical engineering calculations, detailed engineering design features, data compilations and analyses, complex chemical engineering calculations, business methods and market information. Since our formation, a substantial amount of intellectual property has been developed.

On or about June 4, 2002, we submitted an application for a patent to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The patent involves a torch positioning apparatus designed and developed by our engineers. This is the only patent we have applied for to date. We have designed and developed other proprietary intellectual property that will be protected as trade secrets. We may in the future file US and foreign applications for these patents. We plan to continue our development and protection of our intellectual property. We have not authorized or licensed the use of our proprietary information to any third parties and have no plans to do so. We retain the exclusive worldwide rights for development and commercialization of our technologies.

We are the licensee on one patent. The inventions and related know how could enhance the commercial capability of our core plasma system for certain applications. The patent relates to a Hydrogen-Selective Ceramic Membrane that was developed by Media and Process Technology, Inc., and its predecessor, ALCOA Corporation. This technology provides for the high temperature dehydrogenation of our Plasma Converted Gas and forms the basis for our StarCell™ system.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to maintain trade secrecy for our proprietary information that is not patented, obtain patents for new inventions and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. There can be no assurance that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct business or that we will develop additional proprietary technology which is patentable or that any patents issued to us will provide competitive advantages or will not be challenged by third parties. We also protect our trade secrets and proprietary know-how and technology by non-disclosure agreements and non-compete agreements with our collaborators, employees and consultants. However, there can be no assurance that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach, and that our trade secrets and proprietary know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by others.

Government Regulation

Our customers are required to comply with a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations in the areas of safety, health and environmental controls, including without limitation, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, which may require us, our prospective working partners or its customers to obtain permits or approvals to utilize the Plasma Converter system and related equipment on job sites. In addition, because we are marketing the Plasma Converter system internationally and expect those sales to represent a significant portion of our revenues, our customers will be required to comply with laws and regulations and, when applicable, obtain permits or approvals in those other countries. There is no assurance that these required permits and approvals would be obtained. Furthermore, particularly in the environmental remediation market, we may be required to conduct performance and operating studies to assure government agencies that the Plasma Converter system and its by-products do not prove to be environmental risks. There is no assurance that these studies, if successful, will not be more costly or time-consuming than anticipated. Further, if new environmental legislation or regulations are enacted or existing legislation or regulations are amended or are interpreted or enforced differently, our prospective working partners and/or its customers may be required to meet stricter standards of operation and/or obtain additional operating permits or approvals. There can be no assurance that our system’s performance will satisfy all of the applicable regulatory requirements.

Environmental Matters

Our customers’ operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local regulations relating to the storage, handling and transportation of regulated materials. Although our role is generally limited to the sale or leasing of its specialized technical equipment for use by our customers, there is always the risk that equipment failures could result in significant claims against us. Any claims against us could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as the price of our common stock.

Manufacturing Operations

Our products and systems are presently being manufactured by third party vendors who build specific component parts to our specifications. Some of the manufacturing components are constructed at our 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility located in Bristol, Connecticut. We also assemble, ship and test our systems there.

Research and Development

While the principal research and development to produce commercial Plasma Converters has been completed, we will continue to perform research and development activities with respect to product improvement and new product development, utilizing internal technical staff as well as independent consultants. These activities have to date been entirely paid for and sponsored by the Company. We will continue to develop and design operational improvements that will be primarily in the area of the use of the Plasma Converted Gas produced by the Plasma Converter also used by StarCell. Expenditures for research and development will be geared to achieving lower costs designs and higher efficiencies consistent with our business model of offering complete systems solutions. During the year ended October 31, 2006, we expensed $324,834 for research and development compared to $337,898 in development during the year ended October 31, 2005. As we expand our research and development focus in fiscal year 2007, our efforts are expected to be devoted to the development of patentable proprietary inventions in the field of high temperature thermo-chemistry and the production of low cost hydrogen. In addition we will continue conducting ongoing tests, demonstrations and enhancements of the Plasma Converter for potential customers and governmental agencies.

Employees

As of January 25, 2007, the Company had 16 full-time employees. Of these full-time employees, four are in engineering, one in research and development, four in sales and marketing and seven are in management or administrative positions. We believe that we have been successful in attracting experienced and capable personnel. All officers and directors have entered into agreements requiring them not to disclose any proprietary information, assigning all rights to inventions made during their employment, and prohibiting them from competing with us. Our employees are not represented by any labor union or collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Item 2. Properties.

Our corporate headquarters is located at 88 Danbury Road, Wilton, Connecticut 06897-2525 where we lease 5,612 square feet of office space from Furst Properties, LLC as landlord. The lease, electrical, and taxes provides for monthly payments of $12,159 to December 2008, when the lease expires; however, the Company has the option to extend it for another three years at the same price.

Our product showroom is located at 190 Century Drive, Bristol, Connecticut, 06010, where we lease 10,800 square feet of office space from WS 190 Century Drive, LLC. as landlord. The lease provides for monthly payments of $8,166 to June 2008, when the lease expires.

Total		$ 654,012

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings in its ordinary course of business. These matters may raise complicated issues and are subject to uncertainties and difficulties, including but not limited to: (i) the underlying facts of the matter; (ii) unsettled questions of law; (iii) issues unique to the jurisdiction where the matter is pending; and (iv) damage claims, including claims for punitive damages, that are disproportionate to the actual economic loss incurred. The Company believes that resolution of its pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. However, given the unpredictability of the legal process, there can be no assurance that one or more of these matters will not produce a loss which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results for any given period.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Startech’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable reserves, marketable securities, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets accounting for joint ventures and software development. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The following accounting policies and estimates are deemed critical to the understanding of the consolidated financial statements included under Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The Company has no significant revenue, suffered significant recurring operating losses and needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern..

The Company has historically satisfied its capital needs primarily by the sale of equity securities. On September 16, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners and its affiliates (“Cornell”). The Securities Purchase Agreement provides for Cornell to purchase up to $2,300,000 of Secured Convertible Debentures. This entire amount was funded during September and October 2005. On April 22, 2006, Cornell converted $1,000,000 of the secured convertible debenture into 543,478 shares of common stock. As of October 31, 2006, the Company has made principal payments aggregating approximately $620,000 towards the debentures and has a remaining balance due of approximately $690,000. On September 5, 2006, the Company received notification from Cornell stating that the maturity date of the Debentures was changed to October 18, 2007. In addition, on May 23, 2006, the Company received net cash proceeds of $2,470,000 from an investor for the sale of 1,300,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a private placement transaction.

Management of the Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through equity and/or debt instruments. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of its manufactured products at the date of shipment. Revenues earned from consulting and design services are recognized when the services are completed. For distributorship agreements, revenue is recognized for services and training upon completion and the distribution rights are amortized over a three year period.

Income Taxes

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” the Company uses an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The basic principles of accounting for income taxes are: (a) a current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year; (b) a deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards; (c) the measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the enacted tax law and the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated; and (d) the measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. The Company has had recurring net losses and the resulting deferred tax asset is offset by a corresponding valuation allowance.

Stock Based Compensation

For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Company incurred stock-based compensation expense of $770,427, respectively. Prior to November 1, 2005, the Company accounted for stock based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”). Accordingly, the Company generally recognized compensation expense only when it granted options with an exercise price below market price at the date of grant. Any resulting compensation expense was recognized ratably over the associated service period, which was generally the option vesting term. Prior to November 1, 2005, the Company provided pro-forma disclosure amounts in accordance with SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”), as if the fair value method defined by SFAS 123 had been applied to its stock-based compensation.

Effective November 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated prior periods’ results. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense after the adoption of SFAS 123R includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of November 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted after November 1, 2005 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company recognizes these compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, the impact to the consolidated condensed financial statements on net loss for the year ended October 31, 2006 was to recognize a charge of $770,427 higher than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. The impact on both basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended October 31, 2006 was $0.04 per share.

As of October 31, 2006, the fair value of non-vested options totaled $230,958.

The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted average fair values as follows:

	2006	2005	2004
Risk-free interest rate range	4.00%-5.15%	2.89%-4.57%	4.21
Expected life of options — years	3.47	5.63	6.84
Expected stock price volatility range	81%-132%	81	98%
Expected dividend yield	N/A	N/A	N/A

The estimated fair value of options granted is amortized to expense over the option vesting periods.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Warrants and embedded conversion options are accounted for under EITF issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Index to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock” and EITF 05-4, View A “The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument”. Due to certain factors and the liquidated damage provision in the registration rights agreement, the Company determined that the embedded conversion option and the warrants are derivative liabilities. Accordingly the warrants and the embedded conversion option will be marked to market through earnings at the end of each reporting period. The warrants and the conversion option are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Actual period closing common stock prices, applicable volatility rates and period close risk-free interest rates for the contractual remaining life of the contracts are key components used in the Black-Scholes valuation model.

Long Lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews the carrying values of its long lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144 “Long Lived Assets” when events or changes in circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that their carrying values may exceed their realizable value and records impairment charges when necessary.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of February 7, 2007, we did not have any off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have a material current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, result of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended 2006 and 2005

Revenues. Our total revenues were $948,794 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, as compared to $290,087 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $658,707. This increase in revenues is attributable to three major elements. The first is the Company’s amortization of distribution agreements in the current year of approximately $264,000. The second is the continuing support of the Mihama project in Japan which we grossed over $532,000 in revenue, and the third is the initiation of engineering specs for the China project which netted $100,000. In Fiscal 2005, our revenues were derived primarily from the amortization of distributorships agreements established in Australia, China and the Caribbean.

Gross profit. Our gross profit was $641,486, as compared to a gross profit of $221,369 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, an increase of $420,117, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, or 190.0%. The increase in gross margins for 2006 was primarily due to revenues from Mihama project, as well as, increased consulting services provided during the year.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 were $2,947,838, compared to $2,672,781 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $275,057, or 10.3%. The Company incurred increased expenses in 2006 mainly due to additional leased space in Bristol, Connecticut (45k), professional fees ($60K), and various operational items.

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 were $324,834, compared to $337,898 for fiscal 2005, a decrease of $13,064, or 3.9%, from the same period in 2005. These decreased expenditures are a result of lower allocation expenses.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses for fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 were $682,984, compared to $871,246 for the same period in 2005, a decrease of $188,262, or 21.6%, for the similar period in 2005. The decreased costs in 2006 were a direct result of lower outside consultant expenses.

Interest income. Our interest income for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 was $98,594, as compared to $26,071 in the same period in 2005, a increase of $72,523, or 278.2%. The increase is due to higher average cash balances and higher interest rates.

Other income. Our other income for the year ended October 31, 2006 was $64,508, as compared to $454,035 in the same period in 2005. The decrease was a direct result of our lower grant proceeds received from the Department of Energy in 2006.

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended 2005 and 2004

Revenues. Our total revenues were $290,087 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, as compared to $1,708,768 for the same period in 2004, a decrease of $ 1,418,681, or 83.0%. In Fiscal 2005, our revenues were derived primarily from the amortization of distributorships agreements established in Australia, China and the Caribbean. Additional revenues were received from Mihama for the reinstallation of our plasma system in Kobe, Japan. In fiscal 2004, we delivered to Mihama components and system modifications, as well as contracted spare parts. Additional revenue resulted from distributor agreements located in Australia and Puerto Rico.

Gross profit. Our gross profit was $221,369, as compared to a gross profit of $1,080,012 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, a decrease of $858,643, or 79.5%. The gross margins for 2005 were amortization of distributorships agreements established in Australia, China and the Caribbean. Additional revenues were received from Mihama for the reinstallation of our plasma system in Kobe, Japan. The gross margin for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 was a result of higher than expected margins on the components as well as the spare parts for the Mihama Project. Our margins were also positively impacted from the amortization of our distributorships.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 were $2,672,781 compared to $2,460,013 for the same period in 2004, an increase of $212,768, or 8.7%. The Company incurred increased expenses related to a financing arrangement ($35,944), higher utility expenses ($11,327), increased rents ($38,254), office expenses ($40,981), and higher stockholder relations expenses ($66,129).

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 were $337,898, compared to $353,099 for fiscal 2004, a decrease of $15,201, or 4.3%, from the same period in 2004. These decreased expenditures are a result of lower allocation expenses.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses for fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 were $871,246, compared to $928,619 for the same period in 2004, a decrease of $57,373, or 6.2%, for the similar period in 2004. The decreased costs in 2005 were related to lower marketing expenses and a reduction in selling expense allocation.

Interest income. Our interest income for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 was $26,071, as compared to $29,491 in the same period in 2004, a decrease of $3,420, or 11.6%.

Other income. Our other income for the year ended October 31, 2005 was $454,035, as compared to $0 in the same period in 2004. The increase was a direct result of our grant proceeds received from the Department of Energy.

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended 2004 and 2003

Revenues. Our total revenues were $1,708,768 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, as compared to $70,000 for the same period in 2003, an increase of $1,638,768, or 2,341.1%. In fiscal 2004, we delivered to Mihama components and system modifications, as well as contracted spare parts. Additional revenue resulted from distributor agreements located in Australia and Puerto Rico. There were no Plasma Converter Systems shipped in fiscal year 2003 and revenues were limited to testing for Concurrent Technologies Corporation (“CTC”).

Gross profit. Our gross profit was $1,080,012 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, as compared to a gross profit of $21,324 for the same period in 2003, an increase of $1,058,688, or 4,964.7%. The gross margin increase for fiscal year 2004 was a result of higher than expected margins on the components as well as the spare parts for the Mihama Project. Our margins were also positively impacted from the amortization of our distributorships. The gross margin increase for fiscal year 2003 was a result of the completion of the CTC demonstration program.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 were $2,460,013, compared to $1,998,893 for the same period in 2003, an increase of $461,120, or 23.1%. This increase resulted from the higher legal fees, public relations, consulting fees, office expenses, and higher insurance costs.

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 were $353,099, compared to $310,219 in fiscal 2003, an increase of $42,880, or 13.8%, from the same period in 2003. These increased expenditures are a result of costs incurred for the preparation for the Department of Energy program as well as other internal projects.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 were $928,619, compared to $789,133 for the same period in 2003, an increase of $139,486, or 17.7%, for the similar period in 2003. The increased costs in 2004 were related to the hiring of additional sales and marketing personnel, as well as travel and associated expenses relating to various marketing projects.

Interest income. Our interest income for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 was $29,491, as compared to $9,220 in the similar period 2003, an increase of $20,271, or 219.8%. The increase is due to higher cash balances and higher interest rates earned on our investments resulting from the Federal Reserve raising short-term interest rates.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company’s net revenues for fiscal 2006.

Recent Developments

PlasmaTech of Puerto Rico and Barceloneta

On January 5, 2007, Enrique J. Ruiz, Chief Executive Officer of PlasmaTech Corporation, the Company’s distributor located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, informed the Company that PlasmaTech has secured the financing for its new Startech Plasma Converter facility located in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico. The facility will employ three Plasma Converter Systems; a five, a ten and a ten ton-per-day system processing hazardous industrial waste. The Plasma Converted Gas (PCG synthesis gas) derived from processing the waste through the Converter is expected to be used as the feedstock to produce liquid fuel.

FFI Ethanol Facility in Toms River, NJ

On January 4, 2007, Jack Young, President of Fuel Frontiers Incorporated (FFI), a strategic alliance partner of the Company, announced that it paid Bear Sterns & Co. Inc. $100,000 relating to an agreement for Bear Sterns to lead a tax-exempt bond offering, as the senior underwriter, totaling $84 million for the construction of a waste-to-ethanol synthesis plant in Dover Township, New Jersey. The FFI Letter of Intent to the Company calls for the Company to supply a 100 ton- per-day Plasma Converter System for the Toms River waste-to-ethanol facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

This liquidity section contains forward looking statements that are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions as described from time to time in registration statements, annual reports, and other periodic reports and filings of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, which address the Company’s expectations of sources of capital or which express the Company’s expectation for the future with respect to financial performance or operating strategies can be identified as forward-looking statements. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company’s future results will not be materially different from those described herein as “believed,” “anticipated,” “estimated” or “expected,” which reflect the current views of the Company with respect to future events. We caution readers that these forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company hereby expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any such statements to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which such statement is based.

The Company had a net working capital of $661,262 as of October 31, 2006 and had cash and cash equivalents of $2,279,914 as of October 31, 2006.

The Company has historically satisfied its capital needs primarily by the sale of equity securities.

On September 15, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with Cornell Capital Partners. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides for Cornell Capital Partners to purchase up to $2,300,000 of secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) which were funded during the year ended October 31, 2005. The Debentures are convertible by Cornell Capital Partners at any time at a conversion price of $1.84 per share of common stock. The Debentures originally matured in September 2006, require monthly interest payments at a rate of 10% per annum and monthly principal payments commencing March 2006. On September 5, 2006, the Company received notification from Cornell stating that the maturity date of the Debentures was changed to October 18, 2007. The Company can prepay the debentures at anytime upon three days written notice. If the Company’s common stock is trading above the conversion price at the time of the prepayment the Company must pay a 20% premium on the amount of the prepayment. The Debentures are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and shares of common stock as discussed below. In connection with the issuance of the Debentures, in September 2005, the Company issued to Cornell Capital Partners a warrant to purchase 650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of three years with an exercise price per share of $2.53.

On April 22, 2006, Cornell converted $1,000,000 of the Debentures into 543,478 shares of common stock. Through October 31, 2006, the Company has made principal payments aggregating approximately $620,000 towards the Debentures. In accordance with EITF 00-19, upon these repayments and conversion, the Company has reclassified $1,267,025, representing the portion of the derivative liability, to additional paid-in capital.

The Company paid a fee of $230,000 (10% of the purchase price), structuring fees equal to $30,000 and other fees of $27,554 in connection with the convertible note. These fees have been recorded as deferred financing costs and are being expensed through the maturity date of the Debentures.

The SEDA requires Cornell, at the Company’s option, to purchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $20,000,000 of the Company’s common stock over a two-year period commencing on the effective date of a registration statement filed with the SEC. The purchase price for each share of common stock under the Agreement is equal to 96% of the market price as defined. Each request by the Company is limited to $2,000,000. The Company issued to Cornell 386,956 shares of the Company’s common stock a valued at $979,000 as a fee for entering into the Agreement and issued 4,348 shares valued at $11,000 to the placement agent. In addition the Company incurred legal and various other costs of $239,595 in connection with this transaction.

The Securities Purchase Agreement and the SEDA required that the Company to file a registration statement within 30 days of the date of the agreements and to use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, (the “SEC”) within 120 days of the date of the agreement (extended to April 15, 2006). In the event the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within the prescribed time periods, the Company would be required to pay liquidated damages as defined under the agreement. As of October 31, 2006, this registration statement was not declared effective by the SEC. Accordingly, the SEDA has not been activated and was not available for use. The Company was informed by Cornell that the liquidated damages provision in this agreement would not be enforced.

Subsequent to October 31, 2006, the Company and Cornell agreed to terminate the SEDA and begin negotiations on a SEDA with new terms. In addition, Cornell has agreed to waive any and all liquidated damages that may be payable in connection with the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, Cornell has agreed to return up to 135,000 of the 391,304 shares issued as offering costs in connection with the SEDA. The exact number of returned shares will be determined based on negotiations between the Company and Cornell.

On November 22, 2005, the Company entered into the SICAV ONE Stock Purchase Agreement and SICAV TWO Stock Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Mercatus Agreements”) with Mercatus & Partners, Limited (“Mercatus”). Pursuant to the Mercatus Agreements, the Company agreed to sell to Mercatus an aggregate of 2,716,900 shares of common stock (the “Mercatus Shares”), no par value per share (“Common Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000. Mercatus had up to thirty days from the date of the delivery of the Mercatus Shares to Brown Brothers Harriman, the custodial bank, to tender the purchase price to the Company. The Mercatus Shares were placed in escrow. The Company never received any proceeds pursuant to the Mercatus Agreements and as a result, the Company terminated the Mercatus Agreement. Subsequent to October 31, 2006, the aforementioned stock certificates were returned to the Company for cancellation.

Working capital was provided primarily from private placements, the Cornell debenture, security deposits and other income that were completed in 2005, from which we raised net proceeds of $4,146,819 after expenses. We have and will continue to be dependent upon the deposits and progress payments from the sale of equipment and the private sale of securities. It is anticipated that our capital requirements for future periods will increase and our future working capital needs will be obtained from the above sources as well as additional private placements, demonstration and testing programs, joint development programs, build own and operate facilities, and from cash generated from the operations of our business.

The Company believes that continuing operations for the longer term will be supported primarily through anticipated growth in revenues and, if necessary, through additional sales of the Company’s securities. Management of the Company is continuing its efforts to secure additional funds through equity and/or debt instruments. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our investing activities have consisted primarily of short-term high quality liquid investments, with maturities of three months or less when purchased, which are considered cash equivalents. The primary investments are high quality commercial paper, U.S. Treasury notes and U.S. Treasury bills.

RISK FACTORS

This annual report on Form 10-K contains a number of “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Specifically, all statements other than statements of historical facts included in this annual report regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When used in this annual report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “hope,” “continue” and “intend,” and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to our financial position, business strategy and plans, or objectives of management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to various factors including, without limitation, those described below under this heading “Risk Factors” and in our registration statements and periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have limited operating history upon which to evaluate our potential for future success.

We were formed in May 1991. To date, we have generated limited revenues from the sale of our products and do not expect to generate significant revenues until we sell a larger number of our products. Accordingly, we only have a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early stage companies like ours in an evolving market, such as unforeseen capital requirements, failure of market acceptance, failure to establish business relationships and competitive disadvantages as against larger and more established companies. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks and uncertainties, our business will be materially harmed.

We have incurred substantial operating losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

We have incurred substantial net losses in each year since we commenced operations. We must overcome significant manufacturing and marketing hurdles to sell large quantities of our products. As we strive to grow our business, we expect to spend significant funds for general corporate purposes, including working capital and marketing, and for research and development. To the extent that our revenues do not increase as quickly as these costs and expenditures, our results of operations and liquidity will be materially adversely affected. If we experience slower than anticipated revenue growth or if our operating expenses exceed our expectations, we may not achieve profitability. Even if we are profitable in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability.

We had revenues of $1,708,768, $290,087 and $948,794 for each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and our net loss for each of these periods was $2,646,406, $3,678,788 and $6,619,707, respectively. We do not expect to generate any material revenues until after we successfully complete the manufacture and installation of a significant number of Plasma Converters™. We expect losses to increase as a result of “business as usual” expenses over the next 6 months, as we expand our marketing efforts and demonstrate our results of operations and liquidity will be materially adversely affected and our technology to potential customers. If we are unable to increase revenues and we continue to operate at a loss, our results of operations and liquidity will be materially adversely affected and the market price of our common stock will likely decline.

We have not yet sold the Plasma Converter™ on a large – scale commercial basis which may limit our sales and revenue.

We have never utilized the Plasma Converter™ under the conditions and in the volumes that will be required to achieve profitability nor has the Plasma Converter™ been utilized on a large-scale commercial basis. While we have demonstrated the Plasma Converter™‘s ability to process and dissociate waste feedstocks and recover resources in pilot scale and industrial-sized Plasma Converters™, there is no guarantee that the same or similar results could be obtained on a large-scale continuing commercial basis or on any specific project. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to design and build systems that handle many tons of material per day and operate continuously. Our data and research to date support the fact that we will achieve results in the larger systems similar to those we have had in the smaller system we have manufactured. If the larger systems do not operate as we expect, it will significantly limit our sales and revenue, our results of operation and liquidity will be materially, adversely affected and the market price of our common stock will likely decline in value.

We are dependent on third parties for manufacturing key components which may cause delays in manufacturing and increased costs to the Company.

We currently have our own manufacturing facility where we assemble and test systems. We also rely upon third parties for the manufacture of key components. Delays and difficulties in the manufacturing of our products could substantially harm our product development efforts.

There are limited sources of supply for some Plasma Converter™ components. Business disruptions, financial difficulties of the manufacturers or suppliers, or raw material shortages could increase the cost of goods sold or reduce the availability of these components. In our development to date, we have been able to obtain adequate supplies of these key components. If sales accelerate, we may experience a rapid and substantial increase in our need for components. If we are unable to obtain a sufficient supply of required components, we could experience significant delays in manufacturing, which could result in the loss of orders and customers, and could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we plan to purchase inventories of these strategic components, we may still require alternative sources if we experience delays in obtaining them. If the cost of finished components increases, we may not be able to pass on price increases to our customers if we are to remain competitively priced. This would reduce profit, which in turn would reduce the value of your investment.

Our failure to achieve market acceptance of the Plasma Converter™ within our expanded business model would adversely affect our business.

The failure to achieve market acceptance of the Plasma Converter™ within our expanded business model would affect our profitability, future revenues, the market price of our common stock, and the success of our business. Many prospective users of the Plasma Converter™ have committed substantial resources to other forms of material processing treatments or technologies. Our growth and future financial performance will depend on our ability to demonstrate to prospective customers the technical and economic advantages of the Plasma Converter™ over these alternatives. We may not be successful in this effort. Furthermore, it is possible that competing alternatives may actually have advantages over the Plasma Converter™ for certain industries or applications.

We have expanded our business to include market penetration strategies in which we have no previous experience. These strategies include build own and operate facilities; build own and transfer of ownership facilities; and joint development projects. Although certain of our executives have individual experience in these areas we have not, as a company, developed projects of this type in the past.

Our failure to obtain additional financing, if needed, would adversely affect our business results.

We believe our cash reserves, anticipated cash generated from operations and other existing sources of capital will be adequate to fund our operations for up to one year. However, we may require additional financing to fund ongoing operations if our sales and revenue growth are insufficient to meet our operating costs. Our inability to obtain necessary capital or financing will adversely affect our ability to fund operations and continue as a going concern. Financing for all of our activities to date has been provided by private sales of our securities. Additional financing may not be available when needed or may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, shareholders may incur dilution. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate one or more of our development programs or otherwise limit the development, manufacture or sale of Plasma Converters ™, which may materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and reduce the value of your investment.

We face numerous risks associated with our plans to market and distribute the Plasma Converter™ domestically.

We are currently marketing the Plasma Converter™ principally in international markets, including both industrialized and developing countries, and expect a significant portion of our future revenues to come from foreign sales. If we are unable to expand our domestic marketing efforts beyond current levels our future expected profitability will be substantially reduced. Substantial risks still remain for us to market our product effectively in domestic markets. These risks include:

Political and economic instability. Many of our domestic initiatives involve local government support or funding. Sales to governments may have a long sales cycle. Any change in the political or economic climate during this sales cycle may prevent us from making an anticipated sale.

Difficulties in collecting accounts receivable. We are a small company with limited cash resources. It may be difficult for us to recover monies owed from a domestic customer if we are forced to take legal action.

Protection of intellectual property. The domestic and foreign laws governing intellectual property may afford little or no effective protection of our intellectual property. Even if protected, litigation may result in substantial costs or a diversion of resources.

Any of these risks will reduce expected revenues and may prevent us from achieving or sustaining profitability. An inability to increase revenues or become profitable may reduce the market price of our common stock.

We may acquire other companies, product lines or technology and our failure to integrate any of them may have an adverse effect on our business.

As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue acquisitions and investments that could provide complementary and competitive new technologies, products, or businesses. Future acquisitions or investments would involve the use of significant amounts of cash, which may cause us to incur a significant amount of debt. In addition, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns and risks of entering markets in which we have limited or no prior experience.

We currently have no commitments with respect to any acquisition or investment. If an acquisition or investment does occur and we cannot successfully integrate the business, product, technology, or personnel that we acquire, it would have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be unable to find appropriate strategic alliances, which would adversely affect market penetration of the Plasma Converter™.

Future strategic alliances may include cooperative agreements for the sharing of information, cooperative marketing agreements, or other business relationships such as equity investments or joint ventures. We may be unable to find appropriate strategic alliances in markets in which we have little or no experience, which could prevent us from bringing our products to these markets in a timely manner, if at all. This may lower the demand for and reduce market acceptance of the Plasma Converter™, reducing our revenues and profitability.

We have made several strategic alliances for the purpose of commercializing the Plasma Converter™. These alliances are intended to facilitate our entry into the marketplace and accelerate the development and commercialization of our products; however, to date none of our alliances have resulted in any product sales.

The terms our alliances may require us and our alliance partners to share revenues and expenses from joint activities, or for us to grant to our partners licenses to manufacture market and sell our products. While the leveraging of our resources through these alliances may have a favorable effect on our financial condition, the sharing of revenues may negatively affect our results of operations.

Contracts with federal and state governments subject us to possible contract terminations and audits.

We participate in selective research and sales opportunities involving federal and state governments. Contracts with the United States government are subject to various risks, including the risk of termination at the convenience of the government. This type of contractual clause is included in all government contracts and allows the government to cancel a contract at any time during the performance of the contract without penalty. If cancelled for “convenience” the government must pay the costs of the contract up until that date and other reasonable costs related to its termination. Additionally, revenues from these potential relationships are subject to time-consuming audit procedures under various federal statutes.

There may be claims made against us for personal injury and business losses which may subject us to litigation and related costs.

We anticipate that the Plasma Converter™ system will be utilized in a variety of industrial and other settings, and will be used to handle materials resulting from the generation of hazardous waste. The equipment will therefore be subject to risks of breakdowns and malfunctions, and it is possible that claims for personal injury and business losses arising out of these breakdowns and malfunctions will be made against us. Our insurance may be insufficient to provide coverage against all claims, or for claims made for amounts substantially in excess of applicable policy limits. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Product liability claims could result in losses and could divert our management’s time and resources.

The manufacture and sale of our products create a risk of product liability claims. Any product liability claims, with or without merit, could result in costly litigation and reduced sales, cause us to incur significant liabilities and divert our management’s time, attention and resources. We do have product liability insurance; however, there is no assurance that such insurance is adequate to cover all potential claims. The successful assertion of any such large claim against us could materially harm our liquidity and operating results.

Our failure to properly control the use of hazardous materials could result in substantial financial liabilities to us.

We use, generate and discharge toxic, volatile or otherwise hazardous chemicals and wastes in our research, development and manufacturing activities. Therefore, we are subject to a variety of federal, state and local government regulations related to the storage, use and disposal of such materials. Failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in an imposition of fines on us, suspension of production or a cessation of operations. We are not aware of any environmental investigation, proceeding or action by federal or state agencies involving any of our facilities. However, under federal and state statutes and regulations, a government agency may seek recovery and response costs from both operators and owners of property where releases of hazardous substances were committed by previous occupants of the property or have occurred or are ongoing. If we fail to control the use of, or to restrict adequately the discharge of, hazardous substances, we could be subject to substantial financial liabilities. Our business, financial condition and operating results could suffer a material adverse effect if costs resulting from these liabilities are not covered by insurance or exceed our coverage.

Failure to comply with government regulations will severely limit our sales opportunities and future revenues.

We and our customers may be required to comply with a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations in the areas of safety, health and environmental controls, including without limitation, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, which may require our prospective working partners or our customers to obtain permits or approvals to utilize the Plasma Converter™ and related equipment on job sites. In as much as we intend to market the Plasma Converter™ internationally, we will be required to comply with laws and regulations and, when applicable, obtain permits in those other countries. We cannot be certain that required permits and approvals will be obtained or that new environmental regulations will not be enacted or that if they are, we and our customers can meet stricter standards of operation or obtain additional operating permits or approvals. Failure to obtain operating permits, or otherwise to comply with federal and state regulatory requirements, could affect our ability to market and sell the Plasma Converter™ and could substantially reduce the market price of our common stock.

Failure to protect our intellectual property could adversely affect our brand and business.

The success and competitiveness of our product depends in part upon our ability to protect our current and future technology, manufacturing processes, and brand name through a combination of patent, trademark, trade secret and unfair competition laws, and our failure to do so could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until patents are issued, and the publication of discoveries in the scientific literature tends to lag behind actual discoveries. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that we will be the first creator of future inventions for which we seek patents or the first to file patent applications for any of our inventions.

Patent applications filed in foreign countries are subject to laws, rules and procedures which differ from those of the United States. We cannot be certain that:

patents will be issued from future applications;

any future patents will be sufficient in scope or strength to provide meaningful; protection or any commercial advantage to us;

foreign intellectual property laws will protect our intellectual property; or

others will not independently develop similar products, duplicate our products or design around any patents which may be issued to us.

We enter into confidentiality and non-disclosure of intellectual property agreements with our employees, consultants and many of our vendors, and generally control access to and distribution of our proprietary information. Notwithstanding these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information without authorization or to develop similar information independently.

Policing unauthorized use of intellectual property is difficult. The laws of other countries may afford little or no effective protection of our technology. We cannot assure you that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology, which may cause us to lose customers and revenue opportunities. In addition, pursuing persons who might misappropriate our intellectual property could be costly and divert the attention of management from the operation of our business.

Our failure to keep pace with our competitors and technological changes may result in the loss of customers and revenue opportunities.

Other manufacturers of systems used to process and dispose of materials and wastes in both the private and public sectors include several large domestic and international companies and numerous small companies, many of whom have substantially greater financial and other resources and more manufacturing, marketing and sales experience than we do. As other technologies evolve, the Plasma Converter™ may be rendered obsolete. To the extent that our competitors are able to offer more cost-effective technological alternatives, our ability to compete and sell the Plasma Converter™ could be materially and adversely affected.

We are dependent on key personnel and our business would be disrupted if we are unable to retain and expand our management team

Due to the nature of our business, we are highly dependent on the continued service of, and on the ability to attract and retain, qualified engineering, technical, manufacturing, sales, marketing and senior management personnel. The loss of any key employees or principal members of management could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Further, if we are unable to hire additional qualified personnel as needed, we may not be able to adequately manage and implement plans for our expansion and growth. Joseph F. Longo, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, has an employment agreement with us; however, any other officer or employee of the Company may terminate his or her relationship with us at any time. Our employment agreement with Mr. Longo and our employment arrangements with other executive officers and significant employees impose customary confidentiality and non-compete obligations and provide for the assignment to us of all rights to any technology developed by such person during the time of his or her employment.

Due to the lengthy sales cycles of our products and services, the timing of our sales is difficult to predict and may cause us to miss our revenue expectations.

Our products and services are typically intended for use in applications that may be critical to a customer’s business. In certain instances, the purchase of our products and services involves a significant commitment of resources by prospective customers. As a result, our sales process is often subject to delays associated with lengthy approval processes. For these and other reasons, the sales cycle associated with the selling of our products and services typically ranges between six and eighteen months and is subject to a number of significant delays over which we have little or no control. While our customers are evaluating whether our products and services suit their needs, we may incur substantial sales and marketing expenses and expend significant management effort. We may not realize forecasted revenues from a specific customer in the quarter in which we expend these significant resources, or at all, because of the lengthy sales cycle for our products and services.

Our common stock has been delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market.

As of July 17, 2003, our common stock was delisted from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market and began trading on the NASD Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. Since our shares are not listed for trading on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or other national securities exchange, the trading our shares is more difficult for investors, potentially leading to further declines in the price of our common stock. It may also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. Further, we may also incur additional costs under state blue-sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities.

As a result of our trading on the NASD Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, investors may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the securities. In addition, we are subject to a Rule promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission that, if we fail to meet criteria set forth in such Rule, various practice requirements are imposed on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the Rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transactions prior to sale. Consequently, the Rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect the liquidity of our common stock.

Terrorist attacks and other attacks or acts of war may adversely affect the markets on which our common stock trades our financial condition and our results of operations.

On September 11, 2001, the United States was the target of terrorist attacks of unprecedented scope. In March 2003, the United States and allied nations commenced a war in Iraq. These attacks and the war in Iraq have caused global instability in the financial markets. There could be further acts of terrorism in the United States or elsewhere that could have a similar impact. Armed hostilities or further acts of terrorism could cause further instability in financial markets and could directly impact our financial condition, our results of operations and the price of our common stock.

Our future operating results are likely to fluctuate which may cause volatility in our stock price.

Our quarterly and annual operating revenues, expenses, and operating results may fluctuate. They have varied widely in the past, and we expect they will continue to fluctuate in the future. Fluctuations in quarterly and annual results will also adversely impact management’s ability to accurately project the available revenue necessary for growing our business through internal funding. Because we have a limited operating history and our future operating results may be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, the market price of our common stock may decline.

Our stock price fluctuates. You could lose all or part of the value of your shares of our common stock.

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:

sales of our common stock by shareholders because our business profile does not fit their investment objectives;

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies;

developments and publicity regarding our industry; and

general economic conditions.

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual performance, and could enhance the effect of any fluctuations that do relate to our operating results.

Item 7A. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure about Market Risk.

Management does not believe that there is any material market risk exposure with respect to derivative or other financial instruments that would require disclosure under this Item 7A.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The response to this item is submitted in a separate section of this annual report.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect the information that is required to be disclosed in the reports filed with the SEC, and to process, summarize and disclose this information within the time period specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers are responsible for establishing, maintaining and enhancing these procedures. They are also responsible, as required by the rules established by the SEC, for the evaluation of the effectiveness of these procedures.

Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures which took place as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the “reasonable assurance” level. These controls ensure that the Company is able to collect, process and disclose the information required in the reports that the Company files with the SEC within the required time period.

Internal Controls

The Company maintains a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; transactions are recorded as necessary to (1) permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and (2) maintain accountability for assets. Access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization.

It is the responsibility of the Company’s management to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting. However, due to its small size and limited financial resources the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, a member of management, has been the only full time employee principally involved in accounting and financial reporting. The Board of Directors has recognized that as a result, there is no formal segregation of duties within the accounting function, leaving management of all aspects of financial reporting and physical control of cash and equivalents in the hands of the CFO. Based on the integrity and trustworthiness of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, the Board of Directors has had confidence that there have been no irregularities in the Company’s financial reporting or in the protection of its assets.

Our independent registered public accountants have reported to our board of directors certain matters involving internal controls that our independent auditors considered to be a reportable conditions and material weaknesses, under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The first material weakness we identified relates to our limited segregation of duties. Segregation of duties within our company is limited due to the small number of employees that are assigned to positions that involve the processing of financial information. Although we are aware that segregation of duties within our company is limited, we believe (based on our current roster of employees and certain control mechanisms we have in place), that the risks associated with having limited segregation of duties are currently insignificant. The second material weakness we identified is in our ability to ensure that the accounting for our debt and equity-based transactions is accurate and complete. During the year ended October 31, 2006, we consummated a series of complex debt and equity transactions involving the application of highly specialized accounting principles. Although we believe that these events are unique to our company, we are evaluating certain corrective measures we may take including the possibility of hiring an outside consultant to provide us with the guidance we need at such times that we may engage in these complex transactions.

Given these reportable conditions and material weaknesses, management devoted additional resources to resolving questions that arose during our year-end audit and this Form 10-K for the period ended October 31, 2006. As a result, we are confident that our financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2006 fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition and results of operations. Management does not believe that the above reportable conditions and material weaknesses affected the results for the year ended October 31, 2006 or any prior period.

Item 9B. Other Information.

None.

PART III

The information required to be filed by Part III (Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14) is hereby incorporated by reference from the Company’s definitive proxy statement (to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Regulation 14A), which proxy statement will be filed no later than 120 days after October 31, 2006.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Startech Environmental Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Startech Environmental Corporation (“the Company”) as of October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Startech Environmental Corporation as of October 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (United States).

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has no significant recurring revenues and has incurred significant losses since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation:

Company’s Activities

Startech Environmental Corporation (the “Company”) is an environmental technology corporation dedicated to the development, production and marketing of low cost waste minimization, resource recovery, and pollution prevention systems that convert waste into valuable commodities.

Basis of Presentation

On November 17, 1995, Startech Environmental Corporation, formerly Kapalua Acquisitions, Inc., was acquired in a reverse acquisition, in which all the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Startech Corporation were exchanged for 4,000,000 shares of Kapalua Acquisitions, Inc.‘s common stock. After the acquisition and exchange of stock, the former shareholders of Startech Corporation owned 80.5% of the common stock of Kapalua Acquisitions, Inc. Subsequent to November 17, 1995, Kapalua Acquisitions, Inc. filed registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register certain securities. On January 2, 1996, Kapalua Acquisitions, Inc. changed its name to Startech Environmental Corporation.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The Company has no significant revenue, has suffered significant recurring operating losses and needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan objectives. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has historically satisfied its capital needs primarily by the sale of equity securities. On September 16, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners and its affiliates (“Cornell”). The Securities Purchase Agreement provides for Cornell to purchase up to $2,300,000 of Secured Convertible Debentures. This entire amount was funded during September and October 2005. On April 22, 2006, Cornell converted $1,000,000 of the secured convertible debenture into 543,478 shares of common stock. Through October 31, 2006, the Company has made principal payments aggregating approximately $620,000 towards the debentures. On September 5, 2006, the Company received notification from Cornell stating that the maturity date of the Debentures was changed to October 18, 2007. (See Note 7). In addition, on May 23, 2006, the Company received net cash proceeds of $2,470,000 from an investor for the sale of 1,300,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a private placement transaction.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of Startech Environmental Corporation include the accounts of Startech Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of its manufactured products and installation at the date of shipment and when installed. Revenues earned from consulting and design services are recognized when the services are completed. For distributorship agreements, the distribution rights are amortized over a three year period. For the years ended October 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, revenue consisted of the following:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The reported amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including debt, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (United States) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include useful life of equipment and leasehold improvement and valuation of derivative instruments. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s judgment and available information, and consequently, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2005 and 2004 financial statements to conform to the presentation used in the fiscal 2006 financial statements. The reclassifications had no effect on net losses as previously reported.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments, with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectibility and an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded accordingly. Management determines collectibility based on their experience and knowledge of the customers.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials and work in process. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.

F-7

Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 15 years. Expenditures for major additions and betterments which extend the useful lives of the equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in conjunction with the convertible notes payable have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the notes.

Deferred Offering Costs

Costs were incurred and capitalized in conjunction with the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement Subsequent to October 31, 2006, the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement was terminated and certain costs related to such agreement were written off as of October 31, 2006. See Note 7.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Research and Development

The Company charges all costs incurred to establish the feasibility of a product or enhancements to research and development expense in the period incurred. During the years ended October 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $324,834, $337,898 and $353,099, respectively.

Income Taxes

Stock Based Compensation

For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Company incurred stock-based compensation expense of $770,427. Prior to November 1, 2005, the Company accounted for stock based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”). Accordingly, the Company generally recognized compensation expense only when it granted options with an exercise price below market price at the date of grant. Any resulting compensation expense was recognized ratably over the associated service period, which was generally the option vesting term. Prior to November 1, 2005, the Company provided pro-forma disclosure amounts in accordance with SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”), as if the fair value method defined by SFAS 123 had been applied to its stock-based compensation.

F-8

As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, the impact to the consolidated condensed financial statements on net loss for the year ended October 31, 2006 was a charge of $770,427 rather than no charge being recorded had if the Company continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. The impact on both basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended October 31, 2006 was $0.04 per share.

As of October 31, 2006, the fair value of nonvested options totaled $230,958.

The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted average fair values as follows:

	2006	2005	2004
Risk-free interest rate range	4.00%-5.15%	2.89%-4.57%	4.21%
Expected life of options — years	3.47	5.63	6.84
Expected stock price volatility range	81%-132%	81	98%
Expected dividend yield	N/A	N/A	N/A

The estimated fair value of options granted is amortized to expense over the option vesting periods.

The following table illustrates the pro forma effects on net loss and net loss per common share for the years ended October 31, 2005 and October 31, 2004 as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R to stock-based compensation issued to employees.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31,

	2005		2004

Net loss per share- as reported (basic and diluted)	$ (.21	)	$ (.16	)

Net loss per share - pro forma (basic and diluted)	$ (.24	)	$ (.18	)

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net loss per share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities realizable from the exercise of options, warrants and convertible notes of 7,289,450, 6,315,464 and 4,597,991 at October 31, 2006, October 31, 2005 and October 31, 2004, respectively, are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 155 — Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (“SFAS 155”), which eliminates the exemption from applying SFAS 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. SFAS 155 also allows the election of fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a remeasurement event. Adoption is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 156 — Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (“SFAS 156”), which requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value. SFAS 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. Adoption is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of SFAS 156 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. This Interpretation shall be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an enterprise’s fiscal year, provided the enterprise has not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period for that fiscal year. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying this Interpretation will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company has commenced the process of evaluating the expected effect of FIN 48 on its financial statements and is not currently in a position to determine such effects.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, Considering the Effects on Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify errors using both the income statement method (i.e. iron curtain method) and the rollover method and requires adjustment if either method indicates a material error. If a correction in the current year relating to prior year errors is material to the current year, then the prior year financial information needs to be corrected. A correction to the prior year results that are not material to those years, would not require a restatement process where prior financials would be amended. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that SAB 108 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 7– Convertible Note and Standby Equity Distribution Agreement:

On September 15, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with Cornell. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides for Cornell to purchase up to $2,300,000 of secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) which were funded during the year ended October 31, 2005. The Debentures are convertible by Cornell at any time at a conversion price of $1.84 per share of common stock. The Debentures originally matured in September 2006, require monthly interest payments at a rate of 10% per annum and monthly principal payments commencing March 2006. On September 5, 2006, the Company received notification from Cornell stating that the maturity date of the Debentures was changed to October 18, 2007. The Company can prepay the debentures at anytime upon three days written notice. If the Company’s common stock is trading above the conversion price at the time of the prepayment the Company must pay a 20% premium on the amount of the prepayment. The Debentures are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and shares of common stock as discussed below. In connection with the issuance of the Debentures, in September 2005, the Company issued to Cornell a warrant to purchase 650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of three years with an exercise price per share of $2.53.

The gross proceeds of the Debentures in the amount of $2,300,000 were recorded net of a discount of $2,168,995. The debt discount consisted of a $897,121 value related to the warrants and $1,271,874 value related to the embedded conversion option. The warrants and the embedded conversion option were accounted for under EITF 00-19 and EITF 05-4, View A. Due to certain factors and the liquidated damage provision in the registration rights agreement, the Company determined that the embedded conversion option and the warrants are derivative liabilities. Accordingly the warrants and the embedded conversion option are being marked to market through earnings at the end of each reporting period. The warrants and the conversion option are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Company reflected a loss of $173,301 representing the change in the value of the warrants and conversion option. For the year ended October 31, 2005, the Company reflected a gain of $250,353 representing the change in the value of the warrants and conversion option. The debt discount of $2,168,995 is being accreted over the term of the note. Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge $1,796,511 and $271,124 for the years ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and its President agreed to pledge 3,580,000 shares and 900,000 shares, respectively, to secure payment of all the obligations due under the Debentures. Such shares are to be held in escrow until all amounts due under the Debentures are paid in full. The Company issued 900,000 shares of restricted common stock to its President during the year ended October 31, 2005 in place of the shares of common stock being pledged pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. These shares are being held in escrow and will only be released to the President in the event any of the pledged shares are forfeited or released pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

F-12

The SEDA requires Cornell, at the Company’s option, to purchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $20,000,000 of the Company’s common stock over a two-year period commencing on the effective date of a registration statement filed with the SEC. The purchase price for each share of common stock under the Agreement is equal to 96% of the market price as defined. Each request by the Company is limited to $2,000,000. The Company issued to Cornell 386,956 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $979,000 as a fee for entering into the Agreement and issued 4,348 shares valued at $11,000 to the placement agent. In addition the Company incurred legal and various other costs of $239,595 in connection with this transaction.

The Securities Purchase Agreement and the SEDA require the Company to file a registration statement within 30 days of the date of the agreements and to use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within 120 days of the date of the agreement (extended to April 15, 2006). In the event the registration statement is not filed or declared effective within the prescribed time periods, the Company will be required to pay liquidated damages as defined under the agreement. As of October 31, 2006, this registration statement was not declared effective by the SEC. Accordingly, the SEDA has not been activated and was not available for use. The Company was informed by Cornell that the liquidated damages provision in this agreement would not be enforced.

On January 17, 2007, the Company and Cornell agreed to terminate the SEDA and begin negotiations on a SEDA with new terms. In addition, Cornell agreed to waive any and all liquidated damages that may be payable in connection with the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, Cornell has agreed to return up to 135,000 of the 391,304 shares issued as offering costs in connection with the SEDA. The exact number of returned shares will be determined based on negotiations between the Company and Cornell.

On January 26, 2007, the Company withdrew the aforementioned Registration Statement by filing a Form RW with the SEC. Accordingly, deferred offering costs of $239,595 were written off as of October 31, 2006. In addition, deferred offering costs of $648,449, representing 251,956 shares of common stock issued to Cornell and 4,348 shares issued to a placement agent, both of which will not be returned to the Company in connection with the SEDA termination were charged to Terminated Offering Costs as of October 31, 2006. Deferred offering costs of $341,551 representing up to 135,000 shares of common stock, which are expected to be returned to the Company in connection with the SEDA termination, will be evaluated when the exact number of returned shares is determined. When the exact number of returned shares is determined (based on the negotiations on a SEDA with new term), the Company will evaluate the remaining deferred offering costs and account for them accordingly.

In accordance with EITF 00-19 and EITF 05-4 , the Company will reclassify the derivative liabilities to equity as of January 17, 2007 due to the termination of the Registration Rights Agreement as discussed above.

Note 9 - Stock Option Plans:

1995 Stock Option Plan

In November 1995, the Company registered 2,000,000 common shares, issuable upon exercise of stock options issued by the Company under its 1995 Non-qualifying Stock Option Plan (the Plan) for employees, directors and other persons associated with the Company whose services have benefited the Company. The options must be issued within 10 years from November 20, 1995. Determination of the option price per share and exercise date is at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

During the years ending October 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, there were no options granted under the 1995 plan. As of October 31, 2006, 8,089 options were available to be granted and 1,212,500 options were outstanding, all of which were exercisable and vested.

2000 Stock Option Plan

The Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s board of directors in January 2000 and was approved by the Company’s stockholders in February 2000. The 2000 plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

F-17

The 2000 plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and non-statutory stock options. The Company’s officers, directors, employees and consultants, and employees and consultants of the Company’s majority-owned affiliated companies, are eligible to receive awards under the 2000 plan.

The options may be granted at an exercise price greater than or equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant or not less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of incentive stock options granted to persons holding more than 10% of the voting power of the Company. Fair market value for purposes of the 2000 plan is the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the relevant date.

The 2000 Plan authorizes awards of the following type of equity-based compensation: incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, annual grants of stock options to directors, stock options to directors in lieu of compensation for services rendered as directors, and other stock-based awards valued in whole or in part by reference to stock of the Company. No incentive stock options may be granted on or after February 1, 2010, nor shall such options remain valid beyond ten years following the date of grant. Fifty percent of these options vest at the time of the grant and the other 50% will vest six months after the date of grant and expire not more than ten years from the date of grant.

The 2000 Plan is administered by the Company’s compensation committee. The committee has the authority to adopt, amend and repeal the administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the 2000 Plan and to interpret its provisions. The committee selects the recipients of awards and determines the number of shares of common stock covered by the options and the dates upon which the options become exercisable and terminate, subject to provisions of the 2000 Plan. Incentive stock options must terminate within ten years of the grant. Non-statutory options must terminate within fifteen years of the date of grant. The committee has the right to alter the terms of any option when granted or while outstanding, pursuant to the terms of the 2000 Plan, except the option price.

As of October 31, 2006, 208,000 options were available to be granted under the 2000 Plan and 1,820,500 options were outstanding, of which 1,783,500 were exercisable and vested.

All options automatically become exercisable in full in the event of a change in control, as defined in the 2000 Plan, death or disability of the option holder or as decided by the compensation committee. Upon retirement, options held at least one year become exercisable in full. If an option holder’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, except death, disability or retirement, the option holder has three months in which to exercise an option, but only to the extent exercisable immediately after termination, unless the option by its terms expires earlier. Termination or other changes in employment status may affect the exercise period.

On December 13, 2005, the Company issued options to purchase 50,000 shares of its common stock exercisable at $1.90 per share to the Company’s Vice President of Business Operations. The options have an exercise period of three years, were valued at $25,913, and will be expensed over the vesting period. These options vested on June 30, 2006. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the Company recorded a compensation charge in the amount of $25,913 for these options.

On March 31, 2006, the Company issued options to purchase 50,000 shares of its common stock exercisable at $3.60 per share to a consultant. The options have an exercise period of five years, were valued at $157,676, and will be expensed over the vesting period. These options have a 14 month vesting period. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the Company recorded a compensation charge in the amount of $78,838 for these options.

On May 11, 2006, the Company issued options to purchase 75,000 shares of its common stock exercisable at $3.75 per share to four members of its Board of Directors. The options have an exercise period of ten years, were valued at $157,676, and will be expensed over the vesting period. These options have a one year vesting period. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the Company recorded a compensation charge in the amount of $128,091 for these options.

F-18
