Annual Report


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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated audited financial statements and the related notes for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this registration statement, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 6 of this annual report.

Our consolidated audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Plan of Operation

Our plan for the twelve months following the date of this report is to continue establishing new relationships with potential clients, and to translate both new and existing relationships into sales for our company. We are currently working on a project to successfully meet the durability requirements on a two-


stroke engine in accordance with US and Canada regulations. We hope to complete this project in the coming year and subsequently translate these results into sales for our company.

We also plan on establishing mutually-beneficial relationships with non-governmental and/or not-for-profit trade associations to help promote the importance and urgency of emission mitigation for small engines. This will accompany our current marketing initiatives, which we will continue on an international scale.

Our principal capital resources have been through the issuance of common stock, although we may use shareholder loans, advances from related parties, or borrowing in the future.

We anticipate that we will expend approximately $385,000 during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2008 to continue our business of developing emission control devices. These expenditures are broken down as follows:

Estimated Funding Required During the Twelve Month Period Ending December 31,

2009
           Operating expenses
                     Sales and Marketing                          $       110,000
                     Research and Development                             105,000
                     Manufacturing and Engineering                         60,000
                     General and Administrative                           110,000
           Total Operating Expenses                                       385,000
           Capital expenditures                                                 0
           Total                                                  $       385,000

At December 31, 2008, we had working capital of $43,533. If necessary, we plan to raise additional capital required to meet these immediate short-term needs and to meet the balance of our estimated funding requirements for the twelve months, primarily through the private placement of our securities.

There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

Capital Expenditures

We do not intend to invest in capital expenditures during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2009.

General and Administrative Expenses

We expect to spend $110,000 during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2009 on general and administrative expenses including legal and auditing fees, rent, office equipment and other administrative related expenses.

Product Research and Development

We anticipate that we will expend $165,000 on research and development, manufacturing and engineering over the twelve months ending December 31, 2009.


Purchase of Significant Equipment

Unless we acquire a new business, we do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the twelve months ending December 31, 2009.

Personnel Plan

We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period (although we may enter into employment or consulting agreements with our officers or directors). We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed. As at December 31, 2008, we had one (1) employee other than our directors and officers.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction
with our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007.

Our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are
summarized as follows:

                                               Year Ended
                                              December 31
                                           2008         2007

                     Revenue            $     Nil   $      Nil
                     Operating Expenses $ 427,207   $  498,188
                     Other Expenses     $ 203,242   $  162,340
                     Net Loss           $ 630,449   $  660,528

Revenues

We have not earned any revenues since our inception and we do not anticipate earning revenues in the near future.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007 are outlined in the table below:

                                                   Year Ended
                                                  December 31

                                               2008         2007

                 Depreciation               $   5,422   $    4,584
                 Foreign exchange loss      $   9,532   $    7,974
                 General and administrative $ 399,397   $  483,429
                 Research and development   $  12,856   $    2,201

The decrease in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in fiscal 2007, was mainly due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $399,397 (2007: $483,429).


Liquidity and Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2008, our total assets were $141,298 and our total current liabilities were $82,843 and we had a working capital surplus of $43,533. Our financial statements report a net loss of $633,058 for the year ended December 31, 2008, and a net loss of $1,606,187 for the period from March 26, 1999 (date of inception) to December 31, 2008.

We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In this regard we have raised additional capital through equity offerings and loan transactions.

Cash Flows

                                                           At               At

                                                          2008             2007

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities           $      410,502   $      243,108
Increase In Cash During The Period                  $       79,059   $       45,001

We had cash in the amount of $125,251 as of December 31, 2008 as compared to $46,192 as of December 31, 2007. We had a working capital surplus of $43,533 as of December 31, 2008 compared to working capital deficit of $3,715 as of December 31, 2007.

Our principal sources of funds have been from sales of our common stock, short term loans and advances from related parties.

Contractual Obligations

As a "smaller reporting company", we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

Going Concern

The audited financial statements included with this annual report have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated audited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our audited financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.



(Loss) Per Share

Our company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders
(numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator)
during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible securities using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS and the weighted average number of common shares exclude all dilutive potential shares since their effect is anti dilutive.

Comprehensive Loss

SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As at December 31, 2007 and 2006, our company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation

Effective on the closing of the Asset Acquisition Agreement on February 26, 2007, our company's functional and reporting currency changed to the Canadian dollar. Occasional transactions may occur in United States dollars and management has adopted SFAS No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation". Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in United States currency are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in United States currency are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in United States dollars. Our company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Stock-based Compensation

Our company records stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payments", using the fair value method. Our company has not issued any stock options since its inception. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", our company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific


appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Income Tax

Our company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Our company records a valuation allowance to reduced deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Stock-based Compensation

Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based awards under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" using the intrinsic value method of accounting, under which compensation expense was only recognized if the exercise price of our company's employee stock options was less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, our company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R "Share Based Payments", using the modified retrospective transition method. There was no effect on our reported loss from operations, cash flows or loss per share as a result of adopting SFAS No 123R.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts - An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60". SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise's risk-management activities. SFAS 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company's financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company's financial statements.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company's financial statements.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations". This statement replaces SFAS No. 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company's financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities -an Amendment of ARB No. 51". This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company's financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115". This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company's financial statements.
