Annual Report
The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results of operations and financial condition of BookMerge Technology, Inc. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported within those financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, contingencies, litigation and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experiences and on various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results under circumstances and conditions different than those assumed could result in differences from the estimated amounts in the financial statements. There have been no material changes to these policies during fiscal 2011. As of June 30, 2011 the Company has not identified any critical estimates that are used in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Market
Biodiesel fuel is an important commodity in the world marketplace because:
·
Petroleum fuel price volatility
·
Biodiesel substantially reduces global warming
·
Americans abhor reliance on foreign oil
·
3rd world countries becoming modernized
·
Fossil fuels are already in short supply
·
Most goods are transported by diesel vehicles
·
Biodiesel works in the current diesel infrastructure
·
Biodiesel is on the forefront of technology
·
The biodiesel industry has grown almost 1000% in 8 years *
* Source: National Biodiesel Board (www.biodiesel.org)
The market for biodiesel fuel and fuel related products has increased in the past seven years in part due to the dramatic rise in crude oil and diesel pump prices, US foreign oil dependence, need to create jobs in the US and the environmental impact of fossil fuels. While petroleum diesel prices are anticipated to continue its long term trend of dramatic increases with the industrialization of China, India and emerging South American countries, the demand for alternative fuel is also expected to grow exponentially. An example of the growth potential is illustrated by the past demand and production of biodiesel, as estimated by the National Biodiesel Board (biodiesel.org http://www.biodiesel.org/):
2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 5,000,000Gallons 15,000,000 20,000,000 25,000,000 75,000,000 250,000,000 450,000,000 750,000,000 Gallons Gallons Gallons Gallons Gallons Gallons Gallons
This historical growth is before the implementation of state laws for mandatory use of biodiesel. At least 12 states currently mandate a minimum of 2% biodiesel blended into the existing petroleum diesel infrastructure. Thirty-seven (37) other states have pending legislation that require biodiesel mixed in petroleum at 2 -5%, with increased percentages being required over time. Additional mandates for the production and use of biodiesel will grow over time. For instance, in California, in 2006 Governor Schwarzenegger issued an executive order establishing a target for California to produce and use a minimum of 20% alternative fuels by 2010, 40 percent by 2020 and 75% by 2050. The California Air Resources Board is currently finalizing standards for the state.
Currently, the City of San Francisco requires municipal vehicles to use at least 20% biodiesel and higher percentage blends as biodiesel becomes more available. The trend is expected to continue with larger metropolitan markets and filter to the outlying areas. The US Dept. of Energy publishes a good overview of the biodiesel laws and incentives for each state at www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/fuels/biodiesel_laws.html.
Local Market
Specific to the EGT's market, California has limited resources for mass transit and movement of goods for the 5th largest economy in the world with a population exceeding 36,553,000 (Wikipedia 2007 est.) and is estimated to be 50,000,000 by 2025. Southern California is also the hub of the western United States shipment of goods by ship, train and truck. The majority of these vehicles are diesel powered. With ports in San Diego, Long Beach, San Pedro and Los Angeles shipping products eastward on a 24-hour basis (7,000,000 annual deliveries from Long Beach alone), the demand for biodiesel is expected to grow dramatically.
Recently, the City of Los Angeles implemented the pending state-wide program requiring commercial diesel trucks to reduce their particulate emissions by 30%. The original plan was to require "particulate traps" be placed on the vehicles at an initial cost of $15,000 and bi-monthly maintenance of $1,500. EGT has completed testing with the Los Angeles County testing facility for the diesel truck particulate traps, where it was found that biodiesel reduces particulate emissions 56% (100% biodiesel) and 47% with a 50/50 blend with petroleum diesel. The City is currently considering a variance to the municipal code to allow those trucks that use certified fuel from certain biodiesel producers (e.g. EGT), the trucking companies may not be required to buy and maintain the particulate traps, or at minimum, reduce maintenance fees and down time to a minimum. EGT is in discussions with the head of 75 trucking companies in Los Angeles for the use of biodiesel in lieu of the particulate traps.
EGT is currently in discussions with petroleum diesel whole-sellers that blend biodiesel for retail, trucking companies, contractors (off road use). EGT will also expand the current EGT Co-op by soliciting multiple major customers through unions and trades associations in the California Transportation Corridor. EGT is also creating a relationship with a company and scheduling delivery or 3500 or 7000 gallons of biodiesel fuel on an ongoing basis to a Napa Valley affiliate to satisfy the biodiesel demand for the vineyards. EGT also recently initiated negotiations with a local FedEx distribution plant to begin trials with a few vehicles, which is expected to lead to other centers that use in excess of 1,000,000 gallons of diesel fuel per month. EGT is also in discussions with Disneyland in Anaheim, California to "toll process" Disney's waste vegetable oil into biodiesel to be reused by the amusement park for a processing fee.
There are only two known competitors to EGT in the Southern California market. One is located approximately 200 miles away and is primarily involved in its 35 year-old cattle feed business that currently produces less than 1,000,000 gallons per year. The other is located 70 miles away and is a smaller producer from its own limited waste vegetable oil collections, but details are not readily available. Given the current demand for biodiesel and state emission standards being implemented, neither competitor is expected to be significant competitor and anticipated demand from government mandates is expected to be unfulfilled for the blended diesel fuel market, even at a minimum blend percentage.
Marketing and Sales Strategy
EGT has already retained a public relations firm to spread the word to the community regarding EGT's progress. EGT has been featured nationwide on the television show "Extreme 4X4" on the Spike TV network. Articles have been written about our company and products in Off-Road Adventures magazine, Diesel World magazine, The Orange County Register, Sand Addition, Coast Magazine, SEMA 2008 Green Zone and The Press Enterprise (release 2/15/09). EGT was also recently (1/09, 4/09) broadcast on the Inland Empire Business News radio show on 590AM. Additional press releases were published December 2008, January 12 & 28, 2009 and picked up by Yahoo! Finance, Trading Markets, The Earth Ties, and Market Watch. EGT will continue its television, radio, newspaper and magazine marketing efforts along with the following.
EGT currently has over 400 co-operative members that can purchase the fuel including towing companies, independent truckers, concrete pumpers and individuals. Upon completion of final analysis of the excellent testing results for particulate reduction and anticipated approval of the Los Angeles Air Quality Commission for a variance to the municipal code "particulate trap" requirements, EGT will begin marketing presentations, flyers and internet advertising to all fleets, including:
·
Trucking trade organizations
·
Directly with Municipalities and Ports
·
Local shipping fleets
·
Graders, Contractors and Heavy Industrial
·
Amusement Parks, Universities and school buses
Research and Development
The company is currently focused on increasing capacity of its existing refinery. While capacity increases, the company will also be pursuing two new methods of conversion, one mechanical, which has already been proven, and the other chemical, which is still in testing stages. The purpose of the new technology is to increase efficiency, decrease costs, provide for the use of less expensive and more available feedstocks, and potentially convert to a renewable fuel for anticipated future governmental mandates. No funds have been expended on research and development to date and the cost over the next three years is approximately $500,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had a cash of $6,110 compared to cash of $8,785 as June 30, 2010.
For the most recent fiscal year, 2011, the Company incurred a loss in the amount of $498,071 and $365,715 for 2010. Both years' losses are a result of organizational expenses and expenses associated with setting up a Company structure and implementing its business plan. The Company anticipates that until these procedures are completed, it may continue to operate at a loss, depending upon the performance of the business.
As a result of the foregoing and addition to the fact that sales are increasing and interest becoming more viable as we climb out of the ripple effect of the Recession the Company has limited liquidity and will require additional investment capital. We have been contacted by investment capital firms and individuals for the sale of restricted stock and/or loan to the company to purchase additional feedstock, marketing and operations. This investment capital is anticipated to be needed for the next six months to ramp up production and sales. In the event the Company is unable to acquire additional capital, the Company may cease to do business as a going concern. However, the Company is in a better position now to grow organically with the completed refinery, return of the Tax Credit Rebate and pending RINS credit from the EPA.
