We
currently own a manufacturing facility (acquired in March 2007 with
$500,000 cash; 600,000 shares of restricted stock; and note payable at
$10,000 monthly for five (5) years) for the organic fertilizer products
and have increased capacity from 2 to 4 tons per
hour.
|
|
▪
|
We
have contracted with a feedstock supplier to supply as much feedstock at a
competitive price that is needed to keep up with
production.

Increased
demand for organic fertilizer products in the United States could
substantially increase the demand for our litter feedstock and the
resulting price of the feedstock, reducing our profitability or increasing
our losses.
|
|
·
|
Fluctuations
in the demand for products or the introduction of similar products at a
reduced cost could reduce the demand for our fertilizer product which
could materially increase our current
losses.
|
|
·
|
Costs
of compliance with burdensome or changing environmental and operational
safety regulations could cause our focus to be diverted away from our
business and our results of operations to
suffer.
|
|
·
|
Operating
hazards attendant to the operating of the fertilizer facility, including
the substantial risk from open industrial machines (conveyors, mills,
dryers, bagging equipment) and from industrial equipment (forklifts, semi
trucks). These hazards could result in the injury and/or death
of the operator and could pose substantial financial hardship to the
Company.
|
|
·
|
Climatic
conditions such as prolonged periods of extreme cold, extreme heat,
drought, and prolong periods of rain could negatively affect our ability
to sell product. These affects could cause our plans to be
diverted and results could be significant additional
losses.
