PART I

 

ITEM 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

General

 

Globetech Environmental, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Globetech” or the “Company”), is engaged in the medical/infectious and hazardous waste treatment business, including the marketing of proprietary waste treatment technology.

 

History and Development of the Company

 

The Company was originally incorporated in April 1997 under the name “Alaskan Geodetic Survey, Inc.” and remained dormant until March 2000.

 

From inception through December 2004, the Company undertook a series of name changes and pursued various acquisitions and businesses, each of which was eventually terminated and/or abandoned.

 

During 2005 and 2006, the Company developed and implemented plans to enter into the environmental services and medical waste treatment industry. Various technologies and businesses were evaluated and abandoned.

 

In March 2006, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement”) pursuant to which it acquired certain intellectual property, tangible assets and shares of a German company, Logmed Technologie GmbH from Helmut Goldner and others. The technology related to waste disinfection and sterilization units called Logmed. Following the closing of the acquisition of the Logmed technology, the Company commenced operations in the medical/infectious and hazardous waste treatment business.

 

During 2006, the Company entered into a series of transactions designed to finance operations and payment obligations arising under the Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement, including (1) borrowing an aggregate of $ 102,487 from various related parties, (2) borrowing Cdn 200,000 from a third party to pay a $150,000 downpayment in connection with the Logmed acquisition, (3) the sale of $65,000 of convertible debentures, (4) borrowing Euro 100,000 under a line of credit facility, (5) issuing 2,652,188 shares of common stock to pay accrued and unpaid salary and expenses totaling $237,175 owing to officers and directors, and (6) issuing 4,985,740 shares of common stock to pay $498,574 of debt owing to stockholders.

 

In May 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Medivac Limited, an Australian company, pursuant to which the Company and Medivac agreed to form a joint venture company to market the Company’s Logmed machines and Medivac’s MetaMizer machine.

 

In October 2007, as a result of certain disputes between the Company and the sellers under the Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement, the sellers provided notice of termination of the Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement and that agreement was terminated and all rights to the Logmed technology reverted to the sellers.

 

3

Upon termination of the Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company began marketing its own proprietary waste treatment technology, referred to as GT Waste Sterilizers, and filed patent applications relating to that technology.

 

Industry Overview

 

The medical waste industry has arisen from, and developed as a result of, growing public concerns regarding environmental hazards and work place dangers associated with the treatment of infectious diseases such as AIDS, hepatitis, SARS and other pathogenic diseases and the handling of the waste stream associated therewith. The roots of this growth in public concern, particularly in the developed countries of the world, can be traced to intense media coverage and public outrage at medical waste washing ashore on the beaches of New York and New Jersey during the 1980s. In response to the public outcry, the U.S. Congress passed the Medical Waste Tracking Act of 1988, or MWTA. The MWTA, in turn, spurred increased scrutiny, heightened regulation and the enactment of laws governing the handling, tracking and disposal of medical waste at the federal and state levels in the U.S. and in most countries in Europe, North America and in other developed countries around the globe. Those laws and regulations have established comprehensive regimens and guidelines governing the packaging, transportation, treatment and disposal of medical waste and, in turn, the development of the medical waste industry.

 

In response to the expansive new regulatory structure governing medical waste, health care facilities, such as hospitals and clinics, as well as individual physicians offices, dental offices, veterinarians and other small health care operators, have sought out solutions to assure compliance with such regulations and cost effectiveness in such responses. Each of those facilities produce on a regular and ongoing basis varying levels of medical clinical waste, including human or animal tissue, blood or other body fluids, excretions, drugs or other pharmaceutical products, swabs or dressings, or syringes, needles or other sharp instruments, each of which may prove hazardous unless properly handled, treated or disposed of.

 

A vast and diverse industry has developed to provide a comprehensive range of products and services all designed to address the regulatory compliance requirements of health care facilities in dealing with medical waste. Product and service offerings within the industry range from on-site education, training, waste identification, reduction and treatment equipment and services to comprehensive off-site waste gathering, transportation and treatment services and equipment. Solutions are commonly categorized by the treatment technology utilized and as being either on-site or off-site. Among the solutions, users typically select a solution based on an evaluation of a combination of its regulatory effectiveness, ease of use and cost-effectiveness.

 

According to industry publications, the volume of infectious waste generated in the U.S. alone is millions of tons annually and growing .The Company believes that the global infectious waste market, excluding the U.S., is at least as large as, or larger than, the U.S. market.

 

The Company believes that the demand for medical waste products and services will continue to grow and expand driven by various factors, including:

 

Pressure to reduce hospital costs. Pressure to reduce costs and improve efficiency within the healthcare industry has resulted in a growing reliance on outside contractors to develop and deliver cost effective solutions to various aspects of facilities operations and risk management, including the handling of medical waste. Medical waste management service and product companies, including the Company, offer a range of products and services all with a view to assuring a cost-effective compliance program.

 

Shift to non-acute care treatment settings. A shift in the medical treatment setting from high cost acute care facilities to alternative lower-cost settings, driven by managed care and cost-containment measures, has resulted in a growing amount of medical waste being generated at smaller facilities that lack the resources, experience and expertise necessary to develop and implement an effective medical waste management solution without the involvement of outside solutions providers.

 

Growing demand for medical services. Demand for medical services in North America and Europe has grown in recent years with the growth in government and private health programs and the development of technologies and treatments not previously available and is expected to grow at an accelerated pace with aging populations and falling mortality rates. With the aging populations and extended life expectancy, and an accompanying increase in demand for medical services, the volume of medical waste generated is expected to grow.

 

4

Increasing environmental and safety concerns and regulation. Public concern regarding the effects of industry on the environment and on safety have led to extensive regulation of various aspects of the medical waste management industry. Applicable environmental regulations regarding the discharge of pollutants into the atmosphere has increased the cost of operating medical waste incinerators and resulted in the closure of many facilities resulting in a growing demand for non-incineration alternatives for medical waste treatment. Similarly, workplace regulations regarding exposure of workers to blood-borne pathogens and other potentially infectious materials have resulted in a growing demand for effective solutions to assure proper handling and disposal of medical wastes.

 

Services and Operations

 

The Company’s principal services and operations are comprised of the marketing, sales and leasing of its proprietary GT Waste Sterilizer medical waste disinfection/sterilization units and the operation of contract medical waste treatment facilities.

 

GT Waste Sterilizer Products.

 

The Company’s principal focus is the marketing, sale and leasing of its proprietary medical waste treatment units known as GT Waste Sterilizers. These units represent an environmentally friendly cost-effective medical waste treatment solution with potential application in the treatment of other waste that is considered bio-hazardous such as airline garbage.

 

GT Waste Sterilizer is an advanced autoclave unit incorporating proprietary patent-- pending technologies and processes, including continuous feeding, shredding, mixing, fragmenting, and volume reduction in an enclosed environment to deactivate, sterlize and reduce contaminated waste. GT Waste Sterilizers offer a fully automated medical waste treatment solution with multiple user benefits, including:

 

 

elimination of manual separation;

 

reduction in end product and accompanying reduction in transportation and disposal cost;

 

energy efficient thermal treatment; and

 

minimal environmental impact due to reduced end product and no harmful discharge to the environment.

 

Treatment of medical waste in a GT Waste Sterilizer unit begins with loading waste material, inside of and including disposable containers, bags or collection bins, into a conveying basin. Once the loading door is closed the actual loading process is initiated electronically with the weight of waste material being measured and recorded before conveying the waste into a feed hopper. Individual locks within the unit are utilized to create a low-pressure atmosphere within the unit preventing emission of contaminated airborne particles from the unit with aspirated air being filtered before release into the ambient air.

 

Within the closed unit environment, the waste is fed into a single-shaft shredder to reduce the waste material to a defined particle size. Waste is then fed through a dosing device exposing the waste to a disinfection process incorporating exposure to heat by the injection of saturated steam under pressure.

 

The entire process is independently monitored and controlled electronically with process data being stored and available for review and printing. In the event of any process failures, the unit’s monitoring capabilities will notify the operator on a display panel as well as by an audible alarm and the unit will shut off automatically to assure there is no release of contaminated material.

 

GT Waste Sterilizer incorporates an automated thermal self-disinfection process to facilitate safe maintenance and repair.

 

Typical cycle time to treat a load of medical waste ranges from 30 to 60 minutes based on the heat level to be utilized and the size of the load.

 

GT Waste Sterilizer effectively renders medical waste inert and unrecognizeable while reducing the end volume of by-product by up to 80% of original volume. The unit does not emit any significant odor or steam to the atmosphere nor create any significant noise. Wastewater is minimal and meets EPA and other general standards on wastewater emission.

The Company’s current product offerings include three models: GT100; GT300; and GT500, described generally as follows:

 

 

§

GT 100 – a stationary sterlization unit with a processing capacity of approximately 220 pounds of waste material per hour with dimensions of approximately 8 feet (length), 5 feet (depth) and 6 feet (height). Waste is fed into GT 100 units manually or by an optional semi-automatic feed system.

 

 

§

GT 300 – a stationary sterilization unit with a processing capacity of 660 pounds of waste material per hour with dimensions of approximately 20 feet (length), 8 feet (depth) and 10 feet (height). Waste is fed into GT 300 units manually or by an option semi-automatic feed system.

 

 

§

GT 500 – a stationary sterilization unit with a processing capacity of 1,100 pounds of waste material per hour with dimensions of approximately 30 feet (length), 8 feet (depth) and 21 feet (height). Waste is weighed and fed into GT 500 units by an automated feed system.

 

Medical Waste Treatment Operations.

 

Since March 2006, the Company has owned and/or operated a medical waste treatment facility in Halle, Germany.

 

Operation of the German facility was transferred to the Company pursuant to the Company’s March 2006 acquisition of the Logmed Technologies. Due to the termination of the Logmed acquisition in October 2007, the operation of this facility reverted back to Mr. Goldner with Globetech maintaining a 50% interest therein.

 

The Company plans to establish a waste treatment facility in Calgary in 2008 and the Abu Dhabi Joint Venture should be operational this year as well. The Company formed a joint venture with a local business to jointly own and operate a medical waste treatment business in Abu Dhabi. The joint venture is called Logmed Middle East and will be used to establish further operations in the United Arab Emirates and surrounding area.

 

Strategy

 

The Company’s strategy is principally focused on deploying GT Waste Sterilizer units at health care facilities at pricing points that make on-site medical waste treatment more cost effective than treatment of waste at off-site third party facilities.

 

Because of capital constraints at most health care facilities and adverse environmental impact and other issues associated with the operation of on-site incineration facilities, many health care facilities have closed their on-site incineration facilities and outsourced medical waste treatment to various third party service providers. While the move toward off-site third party medical waste treatment has allowed health care facilities to avoid the need for new capital investment to replace old incineration capabilities and has provided certain other operating benefits, off-site treatment has disadvantages including the cost and logistics associated with sorting waste and transporting and tracking medical waste for treatment at off-site facilities.

 

The Company targets the high-volume institutional segment of the health care market by positioning the GT Waste Sterilizer unit as a viable, easy-to-use and cost-effective alternative to off-site third party treatment of medical waste. The Company provides lease financing for units with each unit being leased at an affordable base rate plus additional payments based on volume of waste processed. The Company believes that such lease financing will be comparable to, or less than, the cost currently paid by health care institutions for off-site third party treatment without the need to access the health care institution’s capital budget.

 

In addition to the potential reduction in operating costs to the health care institution, the Company intends to emphasize other benefits of deploying the GT Waste Sterilizer on-site, including ease of handling waste material derived from elimination of the need to sort and separate medical waste and elimination of risks and costs associated with transporting untreated waste from the institution to off-site facilities.

 

The Company has initially targeted health care facilities in Europe and Australia where units are already operational or are on order and intends to expand marketing efforts to North America and other developed nations of the world. [In order to accelerate or otherwise facilitate entry into various markets, the Company has entered into joint ventures and/or agency agreements with several local marketing companies in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, China andAustralia. These agreements generally call for the Jointly owned local entity to acquire one or more GT Waste Sterilizers from Globetech, profitably operate the unit and share the profits on an agreed upon basis. The Company benefits from the sale of the units, the local expertise that the JV partners bring and sharing in the profits of the operation.

 

6

Equipment Financing

 

The Company has facilitated the financing of units through several sale/leaseback transactions pursuant to which the Company sells a unit to a financing company, leases the unit back from the leasing company and provides the unit to an end-user pursuant to a sublease. These transactions have provided needed cash to the Company but result in substantial fixed monthly lease payments. These payments generally commence four months after point of sale to allow for construction of the units. Revenues generated by the sublease of these units are typically structured to cover the monthly lease payments and generate a profit to the Company.

 

Acquisitions

 

In order to facilitate the Company’s entry into the medical waste treatment and environmental services and solutions market, and to facilitate growth, the Company has periodically entered into a number of acquisitions, each designed to provide to the Company proven treatment technologies. Each of the acquisitions undertaken to date has, ultimately, been abandoned or terminated. The Company continues to evaluate, on an ongoing basis, potential strategic acquisitions to supplement the Company’s operations and potential growth.

 

The abandoned or terminated acquisitions to date have focused on securing rights relating to the medical waste treatment technology developed by Helmut Goldner (the “Logmed Technologies”). The Company initially entered into an agreement in April 2005 to acquire the Beiseker medical waste treatment facility in Alberta, Canada, including certain rights with respect to the Logmed Technologies that were to be conveyed to the Company along with the Beiseker facility. The Company issued 2,000,000 shares of stock and made certain payments relating to the acquisition of the Beiseker facility. Following expiration of the seller’s option to acquire the Logmed Technologies, the Company terminated the purchase agreement relating to the Beiseker facility and returned control and operation of the facility to the seller in March 2006.

 

Following termination of Beiseker transaction and the option of the seller to acquire the Logmed Technologies, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Goldner and certain affiliated companies and persons to acquire the Logmed Technologies and certain related rights, assets and operations, including the right to operate a waste treatment unit in the Halle clinic medical facility. The Company took possession and control of the Logmed Technologies and related assets and began efforts to manufacture and market the derivative products during 2006. In connection with the acquisition of the Logmed Technologies, the Company made aggregate payments totaling $781,899.28 (Euro 600,000) to Mr. Goldner and related parties and agreed to pay various installments totaling a minimum of $ 1,325,000 (Euro 900,000).

 

Effective October 31, 2007, Mr. Goldner unilaterally terminated the Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to which the Company had previously acquired the rights to the intellectual property and patents pertaining to Logmed. Mr. Goldner’s termination of the agreement was triggered by the Company withholding a 100,000 Euro payment that was due September 30, 2007. The Company withheld this payment in an effort to address the ongoing failure of Mr. Goldner to perform certain obligations under the agreement. The Company attempted to renegotiate the terms of the agreement to reflect the defaults by Mr. Golder but was unable to arrive at a satisfactory resolution. As a result of the termination, all Logmed intellectual property and patents reverted to Mr. Goldner, $1,325,000 (900,000 Euro) in remaining payments to Goldner were eliminated and the Company retained ownership and continues to operate Logmed Technologie GmbH as its European subsidiary and base of operations and retained a 50% interest in the Halle clinic waste treatment unit.

 

Manufacturing

 

The Company does not conduct any manufacturing operations but utilizes multiple qualified independent manufacturers who manufacture units under a licence from, and under supervision of, the Company.

 

Manufacturing of units involves delivery of unit specifications to experienced manufacturers that manufacture or source components, and assemble and test units based on agreed criteria. We may contract for separate quality control, inspection and testing of units. Cost of manufacturing units is expected to be based on bids or quotes from manufacturers that may be subject to negotiation.

 

As sales volumes increase, we intend to evaluate establishing single source, or multiple source, contract manufacturing arrangements in which we negotiate volume based fixed pricing per unit. We believe there are multiple manufacturers that have the experience and capability of meeting our manufacturing needs.

 

7

Marketing

 

The Company’s marketing strategy is focused on targeting high-volume high-value generators of medical waste where the benefits of on-site operation of GT Waste Sterilizer units are expected to be most compelling. Principal target customers are acute care hospitals with 500 or more beds as well as day surgery clinics and other high volume medical clinics and nursing facilities.

 

Pricing of GT Waste Sterilizer units will be fixed, coupled with financing arrangements, so as to make the monthly cost to our customers equal to or more favorable than the costs charged by third party providers to transport and treat medical waste off-site. We intend to structure our pricing and financing so as to allow our customers the ability to scale the volume of material treated with a predictable cash cost without the need to access the customer’s capital budget process while allowing us to generate rental income or other payment streams sufficient to recoup our cost and a return thereon with the potential of additional revenues to be derived from increases in volumes treated. See “Equipment Financing.”

 

The Company’s marketing efforts are led by our President, Don Sampson, an experienced operator in the medical waste treatment industry. We have assembled a sales team including a mix of employees, sales representatives and marketing alliance partners, to enter and service principal markets worldwide. Initial marketing efforts have been focused on markets in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. Our marketing efforts in Europe are under the direct management of Hans Frenzel who is responsible for the sales and marketing effort at Logmed Technologie GmbH and who continues to serve as a Managing Director of Logmed Technologie GmbH and as a director of the Company and provides marketing services on a contractual basis.

 

In January 2008, the Company commenced initial planning to market units in North and South America through the appointment of a Master Distributor, Global Evolutions LLC and sales representatives.

 

Medivac Joint Venture

 

In May 2007, the Company and Medivac Limited entered into a joint venture agreement pursuant to which the Company and Medivac agreed to form a joint venture company to serve as the exclusive marketing agent for each company’s products.

 

Medivac is an Australian healthcare equipment company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Medivac is principally engaged in the manufacture, through third party manufacturers, and marketing of a medical waste treatment system known as Metamizer that is principally targeted toward small- and mid-size health care facilities.

 

Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Company and Medivac formed a joint venture company under the name Logmed International Pty Ltd that was equally owned by the Company and Medivac. The Company and Medivac, respectively, granted to the joint venture company the exclusive worldwide marketing rights with respect to the Logmed and Metamizer product lines. The joint venture company was to maintain sales offices in the US, Australia and Germany, with marketing efforts being directed by the Company’s president, Don Sampson.

 

In an effort to address some inequities as well as simplify and streamline the marketing efforts and administration, the Company and MediVac terminated the Joint Venture Agreement and entered into Licensing Agreements. The agreements permit each company to market the other’s product line in stipulated geographic areas for a designated period of time. The Company will also assume the manufacturing of MediVac’s Metamizer units sold by the Company and MediVac.

 

Competition

 

There are numerous regulated medical waste management services and products companies operating in the Company’s target markets, and the market is highly competitive. Competition within the industry is based on both the nature of the solution (outsourced service based solutions vs. in-house product based solutions) and the technologies offered (incineration vs. autoclaving) and the related cost-effectiveness and compliance reliability of each solution. The Company’s primary competitors are large corporations with regional, national and international businesses. These companies provide a variety of products and services and many have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company possesses.

 

Competition based on the nature of the solution offered relates to in-house treatment of medical waste as opposed to outsourcing treatment to off-site operators. The Company’s current focus is on sale of GT Waste Sterilizer units for use on-site at medical facilities and, through the joint venture with Medivac. The Company believes on-site

treatment using the GT Waste Sterilizer units offer competitive advantages compared to outsourced off-site treatment options, including elimination of manual separation, reduction in transportation costs, increased control by medical facilities operators, reduced environmental risk exposure and shortened holding time of waste and at prices comparable to or better than outsourced solutions.

 

Competition based on technology relates to the type of treatment technology utilized to treat and neutralize medical waste. Due to environmental concerns, incineration is rapidly declining as a viable technology for treatment of medical waste. An array of alternative technologies have been introduced by a variety of companies to fill the void left by the decline in incineration as an acceptable option. Many of the technologies currently deployed, including the GT Waste Sterilizer unit, involve advanced autoclave capabilities. These technologies compete based on a variety of factors including principally cost effectiveness, environmental impact, operating effectiveness of the solution and ease of use. The Company believes that the GT Waste Sterilizer unit will compete favorably in all of these areas.

 

The Company faces potential competition from new entrants in the market, including outsourcing operators that may attain sufficient scale of operations to lower the cost of outsourced treatment to levels at which the Company may be unable to compete as well as the introduction of new technologies that may either reduce or eliminate the generation of medical wastes or produce better results in the form of lower operating costs, more effective treatment and less environmental impact, among other benefits.

 

Intellectual Property

 

The Company considers the protection of its technology to be important to its business.

 

The Company relies on patents, proprietary know-how and continuing technological innovation. The Company attempts to protect this information through a combination of patent protection and confidentiality agreements with employees, vendors and consultants. In connection with the GT Waste Sterilizer, the Company applied for 3 patents covering the principal proprietary technologies incorporated into the GT Waste Sterilizer units. The Company intends to vigorously defend its patents and to continuously seek new and additional patents as necessary to protect its rights in future technological advances in the Company’s products. There can be no assurance that the Company’s patents will not be contested and will be sustained in the event of a contest, that the Company will be successful in its efforts to secure new patents, that confidentiality agreements will not be breached, that the Company would have adequate remedies for any breach or that its trade secrets or know-how will not otherwise become known or independently discovered by other parties.

 

The Company’s commercial success may also depend on its not infringing patents issued to other parties. There can be no assurance that patents belonging to other parties will not require the Company to alter its processes, pay licensing fees or cease using any current or future processes. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to license the technology rights that it may require at a reasonable cost or at all. If the Company could not obtain a license to any infringing technology that it currently uses, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

 

Regulation

 

The Company operates within the medical waste management industry, which is subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations. This statutory and regulatory framework imposes compliance burdens and risks on the Company and the users of its products, including requirements to obtain and maintain government permits. Those requirements vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

 

The Company may be required to obtain certain permits, classifications and registrations in order to market the GT Waste Sterilizer units in various jurisdictions or for selected uses. The Company believes it is presently in compliance with all applicable regulations relating to its operations in the markets in which its units are currently operational and intends to take all steps necessary to assure compliance with any regulations that may apply in the future in such markets and in any new markets the Company may enter.

 

The Company is evaluating marketing its GT Waste Sterilizer unit for use in the food processing industry and, specifically, for the treatment of prions such as mad cow disease. The Company intends to conduct testing to verify the effectiveness of the GT Waste Sterilizer technology in treatment of prions and, subject to obtaining satisfactory results, to secure necessary approvals to market the GT Waste Sterilizer unit for such application. While regulation with regard to treatment of prion diseases is evolving, the Company expects that the U.S. FDA and similar organizations will establish standards and guidelines that will govern the treatment of prions. The Company expects

 

9

that testing and regulatory compliance with regard to the use of GT Waste Sterilizer units in the treatment of prions will require at least one year.

 

While the Company presently intends to limit its operations to the sale and marketing of its GT Waste Sterilizer units, and through its joint venture arrangement MetaMizer units, for operation by third parties, the Company’s customers will be subject to a broad range of regulations that will indirectly affect the Company and acceptance of its products. Illustrative of the nature of regulations that may affect the Company’s customers and, indirectly, the Company, are the regulations applying to operations in the United States which may serve as a model for other jurisdiction, a summary of the principal regulations being as follows:

 

 

Medical Waste Tracking Act of 1988. In the late 1980s, the MWTA was adopted in response to health and environmental concerns over infectious medical waste after medical waste washed ashore on beaches, particularly in New York and New Jersey, during the summer of 1988. The primary objective of the MWTA was to ensure that medical wastes which were generated in a covered state and which posed environmental problems, including an unsightly appearance, were delivered to disposal or treatment facilities with minimum exposure to waste management workers and the public. The MWTA's tracking requirements included accounting for all waste transported and imposed civil and criminal sanctions for violations.

 

In regulations implementing the MWTA, the EPA defined medical waste and established guidelines for its segregation, handling, containment, labeling and transport. The MWTA established a model followed by many states in developing their specific medical waste regulatory frameworks.

 

 

Clean Air Act Regulations. In August 1997, the EPA adopted regulations under the Clean Air Act that limit the discharge into the atmosphere of pollutants released by medical waste incineration. These regulations required every state to submit to the EPA for approval a plan to meet minimum emission standards for these pollutants.

 

 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 authorizes OSHA to issue occupational safety and health standards. OSHA regulations are designed to minimize the exposure of employees to hazardous work environments. Various standards apply to certain aspects of medical waste treatment operations. These regulations govern, among other things:

 

 

o

exposure to blood-borne pathogens and other potentially infectious materials;

 

o

lock out/tag out procedures;

 

o

medical surveillance requirements;

 

o

use of respirators and personal protective equipment;

 

o

emergency planning; and

 

o

hazard communication.

 

 

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976. In 1976, Congress passed the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or RCRA, as a response to growing public concern about problems associated with the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. RCRA required the EPA to promulgate regulations identifying hazardous wastes. RCRA also created standards for the generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. These standards included a documentation program for the transportation of hazardous wastes and a permit system for solid and hazardous waste disposal facilities. Medical wastes are currently considered non-hazardous solid wastes under RCRA. However, some substances collected by us from some of our customers, including photographic fixer developer solutions, lead foils and dental amalgam, are considered hazardous wastes.

 

The Company’s customers use landfills for the disposal of autoclaved waste. Waste is not regulated as hazardous under RCRA unless it contains hazardous substances exceeding certain quantities or concentration levels, meets specified descriptions, or exhibits specific hazardous characteristics. Following autoclave treatment, waste is disposed of as non-hazardous waste.

 

 

DOT Regulations. The U.S. DOT has put regulations into effect under the Hazardous Materials Transportation Authorization Act of 1994 which require medical waste to be packaged and labeled in compliance with designated standards, and which incorporate blood-borne pathogens standards issued by OSHA. Under these standards, among other things, packaging must be identified with a "biohazard" marking on the outer packaging, and medical waste containers must be sufficiently rigid and strong to

 

10

prevent tearing or bursting and must be puncture-resistant, leak-resistant, properly sealed and impervious to moisture.

 

DOT regulations also require that a transporter be capable of responding on a 24-hour-a-day basis in the event of an accident, spill, or release to the environment of a hazardous material.

 

 

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, or CERCLA, established a regulatory and remedial program to provide for the investigation and cleanup of facilities that have released or threaten to release hazardous substances into the environment. CERCLA and state laws similar to it may impose strict, joint and several liability on the current and former owners and operators of facilities from which releases of hazardous substances have occurred and on the generators and transporters of the hazardous substances that come to be located at these facilities. Responsible parties may be liable for substantial site investigation and cleanup costs and natural resource damages, regardless of whether they exercised due care and complied with applicable laws and regulations.

 

Potential Liability and Insurance

 

The medical waste industry involves potentially significant risks of statutory, contractual, tort and common law liability claims. Potential liability claims could involve, for example:

 

 

cleanup costs;

 

personal injury;

 

damage to the environment;

 

employee matters;

 

property damage; or

 

alleged negligence or professional errors or omissions in the planning or performance of work.

 

In the event the Company’s products fail to operate in the manner intended and customers suffer liability arising from such failure, the Company could be subject to claims asserted by the affected customers. The Company could also be subject to fines or penalties in connection with violations of regulatory requirements.

 

The Company does not presently carry liability insurance that would cover liability arising from failures of products to perform as intended. The Company intends to evaluate the acquisition of liability insurance to cover such risks at such time as the Company’s financial position will support the same. Even if the Company is successful in securing such insurance, there can be no assurance that the Company will not face claims resulting in substantial liability for which it is uninsured or underinsured and which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

 

Employees

 

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had 5 full-time and 2 part-time employees/consultants. None of the Company's employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. The Company also has in excess of twenty sales agents covering many parts of the globe.

 

ITEM 2.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

As of December 31, 2007, the Company maintained no formal offices in North America, but conducted its operations in space provided free of charge by the Company’s principal officers. European operations are conducted from offices in Landsberg, Germany that are used pursuant to the terms of a month to month lease arrangement.

 

Management believes that its facilities are adequate to support operations for the foreseeable future. In the event that the Company experiences growth in its sales and requires space to house administrative, sales and other personnel, the Company anticipates it will be required to secure appropriate office space to house its employees and operations. No arrangements have been made with respect to securing office space if needed.

 

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company may from time to time be a party to lawsuits incidental to its business. The Company is not aware of any current, pending, or threatened litigation or proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

 

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition as of December 31, 2007, and the Company’s results of operations for the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

 

Overview

 

Globetech Environmental, Inc. (“Globetech” or the “Company”) is engaged in the medical/infectious and hazardous waste treatment business, including the marketing of proprietary waste treatment technology.

 

Recent Developments

 

The Company’s operations in the medical waste treatment market evolved substantially during 2006 and 2007.

 

In early 2006, the Company terminated its acquisition of the Beiseker waste treatment facility in Alberta, Canada due to non-performance of the seller in that transaction, including the failure of the sellers to deliver ownership of rights to the Logmed medical waste treatment technology. As a result, the Company returned to the sellers control of the Beiseker facility and ceased operation of that facility. All amounts invested in connection with the Beiseker facility transaction were written off as a loss on investment during 2005.

 

Following termination of the Beiseker acquisition, in March 2006, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement”) pursuant to which it acquired certain intellectual property, tangible assets and shares of a German company, Logmed Technologie GmbH from Helmut Goldner and affiliated persons and entities. The technology related to waste disinfection and sterilization units called Logmed. Following the closing of the acquisition of the Logmed technology, the Company commenced operations in the medical/infectious and hazardous waste treatment business. In connection with the Logmed acquisition, the Company recorded a loss on investment of $474,821 during 2006 reflecting the excess of the purchase price of the net assets acquired over the market value of the assets.

 

During 2006, the Company entered into a series of transactions designed to finance operations and payment obligations arising under the Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement, including (1) borrowing an aggregate of $102,487 from various related parties, (2) borrowing Cdn 200,000 from a third party to pay a $150,000 downpayment in connection with the Logmed acquisition, (3) the sale of $65,000 of convertible debentures, (4) borrowing Euro 100,000 under a line of credit facility, (5) issuing 2,652,188 shares of common stock to pay accrued and unpaid salary and expenses totaling $237,175 owing to officers and directors, and (6) issuing 4,985,740 shares of common stock to pay $498,574 of debt owing to stockholders.

 

In May 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Medivac Limited, an Australian company, pursuant to which the Company and Medivac agreed to form a joint venture company to market the Company’s Logmed machines and Medivac’s MetaMizer machine.

 

13

In October 2007, as a result of certain disputes between the Company and the sellers under the Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement, the sellers under the Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement provided notice of termination of the Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement and that agreement was terminated and all rights to the Logmed technology reverted to the sellers. As a result of the termination of the Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement, the balance owing on the purchase price, approximately $1,325,000(Euro 900,000), was extinguished and the Company wrote down its investment in the Logmed assets resulting in a gain on investment of $44,771 during 2007, reflecting the excess of debt extinguished over the carrying value of the Logmed assets.

 

Upon termination of the Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company began marketing its own proprietary waste treatment technology, referred to as GT Waste Sterilizers, and filed patent applications relating to that technology.

 

On December 1, 2007, the Company and MediVac Limited agreed to terminate their joint venture agreement and entered into Licensing Agreements. The agreements permit each company to market the other’s product line in stipulated geographic areas for a designated period of time. The Company will also assume the manufacturing of all of MediVac’s Metamizer units sold by the Company and MediVac on a cost plus 20% basis.

 

During 2007, the Company entered into a series of financing transactions, including (1) three sale/leaseback transactions pursuant to which the Company received $3,750,000 from the sale of units to lease finance companies and agreed to lease back those units for monthly rentals of approximately $78,000, (2) the sale of a total of 4,325,000 shares of common stock and 4,325,000 warrants for an aggregate of $226,000, and (3) the issuance of 5,399,245 shares of common stock to pay $ 323,140 of debt.

 

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company issued 9,627,829shares of common stock to pay accrued and unpaid salary, consulting fees and expenses totaling $336,974.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The following describes the critical accounting policies used in reporting the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, accounting standards allow more than one alternative accounting method for reporting. In those cases, reported results of operations would be different should the Company employ an alternative accounting method.

 

Going Concern. The Company’s financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going concern”, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for at least one year and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

 

The financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern.” If the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern,” then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets, the reported amounts of liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company reviews all long-lived assets on a regular basis to determine if there has been impairment in the value of those assets. If, upon review, it is determined that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable, the Company will record a charge to earnings and reduce the value of the asset on the balance sheet to the amount determined to be recoverable.

 

For purposes of evaluating recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted cash flows of the individual assets and consolidated undiscounted net cash flows for long-lived assets not identifiable to individual properties compared to the related carrying value. If the undiscounted operating income is less than the carrying value, the amount of the impairment, if any, will be determined by comparing the carrying value of each asset with its fair value. Fair value is generally based on a discounted cash flow analysis.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenues. The Company’s revenues totaled $134,677 in 2007 as compared to $379,841 in 2006. The 2007 revenues consist of the deferred gain amortization and net revenues from operation of a Logmed unit at the Halle clinic . The decrease in revenues from 2006 to 2007 was attributable to delays in closing sales contracts in 2007.

 

Operating Expenses. Cost of goods sold totaled $61,262 in 2007 and $125,965 for 2006. The decrease was attributable to the failure to close sales contracts in 2007.

 

14

 

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased 27% to $1,704,070 in 2007 from $1,341,690 in 2006. The increase in operating expenses was attributable to increased general administrative expenses and depreciation expense partially offset by reductions in consulting expenses and stock option expense.

 

General and administrative expense increased 137.6% from $627,149 in 2006 to $1,490,277 in 2007. The increase in general and administrative expense was attributable to the mid-2006 acquisition and commencement of operations of the Company’s German subsidiary, Logmed Technologie GmbH, including the cost of the German staff and offices.

 

Consulting expenses totaled $125,222 during 2007 as compared to $343,019 during 2006. The decrease in consulting expenses was largely due to Mr. Sampson’s compensation being classified as salary in 2007.

 

Stock option expense was $0 in 2007 as compared to $344,825 in 2006. The reduction in stock option expense was attributable to the grants of options in 2006 while no stock options were granted or subject to vesting during 2007.

 

Depreciation expense was $88,571 in 2007 and $26,697 in 2006. The increase was due to the depreciation on capital leases entered into in 2007.

 

Other Income (Expense). The Company reported other expense, net of other income, of $198,653 during 2007 as compared to a net expense of $422,626 during 2006. The 2007 expense is comprised of $160,310 in interest, $75,198 of sundry Logmed GmbH expenses net of $36,856 in deferred gains brought into income on the capital lease transactions. The 2006 other expense is largely made up of the $474,821 writedown of the Logmed Technologie GmbH investment, $24,890 of interest expense and net revenue from the Halle operation.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and Working Capital Position

 

The Company had a cash balance of $1,090,703 at December 31, 2007 and $71,628 at December 31, 2006 and a deficit in working capital of $1,456,330 at December 31, 2007 and $1,452,396 at December 31, 2006.

 

The Company has been dependent upon financing provided in the form of stockholder loans from its principal officers, directors and stockholders, and from sales/leaseback transactions to support its ongoing operations. The Company expects to continue to be dependent upon financing provided by its principal officers, directors and stockholders and from the sale of securities to, or financing provided by, third parties, including sales/leaseback transactions. Except as noted herein, the Company has no commitments from its principal officers, directors and stockholders or third parties to provide financing.

 

Cash Flows

 

The Company generated $278,858 in cash from operations during 2007 as compared to $166,312 used in operations in 2006. The improvement in operating cash flows in 2007 was principally attributable to the sales lease-back transactions ($937,030) and a substantial increase in accounts payable ($1,914,325), partially offset by increases in prepaid expenses ($499,292) and other receivables ($116,861).

 

Investing activities used $184,048 of cash during 2007 as compared to $287,464 of cash used in investing activities during 2006. The decline in cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to amounts invested in connection with the Logmed acquisition in 2006 ($242,800).

 

Financing activities provided $638,964 of cash to the Company during 2007 as compared to $525,921 provided in 2006. Cash provided by financing activities for 2007 was attributable to sales lease-back transactions ($875,000), issuance of a convertible debenture ($100,000) and private placements ($226,000), partially offset by payments made under the Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement ($562,523). Cash provided by financing activities during 2006 reflected proceeds from various loans ($378,129), sale of convertible debentures ($65,000), stock option exercises ($29,625) and private placements of stock ($53,167).

 

15

Non-Cash Financing Activities

 

During 2006, the Company settled $789,749 of debt through the issuance 8,775,428 shares of common stock during 2006.

 

During 2007 the Company converted $323,141 of promissory notes and related party notes to 5,399,245 common shares.

 

Long-Term Debt

 

Long-term debt at December 31, 2007 totaled $3,815,997 as compared to $971,200 of long-term debt at December 31, 2006. Long-term debt at December 31, 2007 consisted entirely of capital lease obligations and related deferred revenue and deferred gain arising from three sale/leaseback transactions. Long-term debt at December 31, 2006 consisted entirely of amounts owing under the Goldner Purchase and Sale Agreement, which agreement was terminated during 2007 resulting in the extinguishment of amounts owing under that agreement.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

At December 31, 2007, we were obligated under three sale/leaseback transactions classified as capital leases. Those capital leases were our only contractual obligations at December 31, 2007 with determinable future payments.

Financial Commitments and Requirements

 

The Company’s principal financial commitments and requirements relate to funding operational deficits, overhead and operational payments relating to the sales lease-back financing transactions.

 

At December 31, 2007, the Company had limited resources available to fund it operational deficits and other financial obligations and was dependent upon the receipt of additional financing to support its operations.

 

Financing Transactions

 

During 2007, the Company undertook a number of financing transactions to support its operations. The principal financing transactions during 2007 were as follows:

 

In February 2007, the Company received $150,000 pursuant to a private placement and issued 2,500,000 shares and 2,500,000 two year warrants to purchase shares at $.12.

In May 2007, the Company entered into a sale/leaseback transaction pursuant to which the Company sold two operating Logmed machines and the rights with respect to a third Logmed machine that was to be put in service during 2007 for $1,500,000. Pursuant to the sale/leaseback transaction, the Company agreed to lease each of the Logmed machines for monthly lease payments of $12,000 per machine for a period of 84 months.

 

In August, 2007, the Company entered into a Master Equipment Lease Agreement with MedRock LLC pursuant to which the Company sold to MedRock, for $1,375,000, two Logmed II 500 machines that are currently being manufactured and expected to placed in service by December 1, 2007 and agreed to lease those machines with the intent of sub-leasing the machines to third-party end users. Pursuant to the Master Equipment Lease Agreement, the

 

16

Company agreed to lease both of the Logmed machines for lease payments of $13,000 per machine per month for a period of 120 months commencing on the earlier of (i) installation of each machine at the site of a third-party end user or (ii) December 1, 2007.

 

In November , 2007, Globetech Environmental, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Master Equipment Lease Agreement with Tech-Rock LLC and BBR, Inc pursuant to which the Company sold for $875,000, one Globetech GT500 machine that is expected to be placed in service by March 2008 and agreed to lease that machine with the intent of sub-leasing the machines to third-party end users. Pursuant to the Master Equipment Lease Agreement, the Company agreed to lease the machine for lease payments of $14,600 per month for a period of 120 months commencing on the earlier of (i) installation of each machine at the site of a third-party end user or (ii) March 1, 2008.

 

In November 2007, the Company raised $100,000 through the issuance of an 8.5% one year convertible debenture and 1,000,000 two year warrants to purchase shares at $0.10. Interest on the debenture is payable quarterly and the debenture is convertible at the greater of $0.05 per share or market.

 

Logmed Technologie Acquisition and Termination.

 

In March 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hans-Eberhardt Frenzel (“Frenzel”), Helmut Göldner (“Göldner”), Göldner Umwelt & Hygienetechnik GmbH (“GUH”), and Logmed Technologie GmbH (“Logmed Technologie”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase:

 

 

for a purchase price of 406,000 Euro (approximately $486,000), from Frenzel and Göldner, 100% of the stock of Logmed Technologie;

 

 

for a purchase price of 34,000 Euro (approximately $40,000), from Frenzel and Göldner, an operating Logmed hospital waste treatment machine (a “Logmed”) and existing contract rights pursuant to which the Logmed unit is currently operated at the Halle clinic medical facility in Wittenberg, Germany; and

 

 

for a purchase price of 660,000 Euro (approximately $790,000), from Göldner, a portfolio of patents constituting the underlying Logmed technology.

 

The agreement also provided that the Company would pay to GUH 400,000 Euro (approximately $478,000) for annulment of an existing license agreement with Logmed Technologie and assignment to Logmed Technologie of the rights of GUH with respect to operating rights at the Halle clinic medical facility.

 

The aggregate sums payable by the Company under the agreement, 1,500,000 Euro (approximately $2,025,000), were payable in instalments with the final instalment due December 31, 2008.

 

After renegotiation of certain payment terms and certain disputes among the parties, effective October 31, 2007, Helmut Goldner unilaterally terminated the Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to which the Company had previously acquired the rights to the intellectual property and patents pertaining to Logmed. Goldner’s termination of the agreement was triggered by the Company withholding the 100,000 Euro payment that was due September 30, 2007. The Company withheld this payment in an effort to address the ongoing failure of Mr. Goldner to perform certain obligations under the agreement. The Company attempted to renegotiate the terms of the agreement to reflect the defaults by Mr. Golder but was unable to arrive at a satisfactory resolution. As a result of the termination, all Logmed intellectual property and patents reverted to Mr. Goldner, $1,325,000 (900,000 Euro) in remaining payments to Goldner are eliminated and the Company will retain ownership and continue to operate Logmed Technologie GmbH as its European subsidiary and base of operations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of December 31, 2007, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to company management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded as of December 31, 2007 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to recurring late filings of the Company’s Exchange Act reports.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. This rule defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

 

 

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

 

18

 

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

A material weakness is a significant deficiency (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 2), or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their assigned functions.

 

Management of the company assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. Management’s assessment identified the following material weakness in the company’s internal control over financial reporting:

 

 

we continue to lack adequate segregation of duties and necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting process and accounting functions, as our chief financial officer serves as our only internal accounting and financial reporting personnel and, as such, performs all internal accounting and financial reporting functions, including posting all cash receipts and disbursements and journal entries

 

In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Because of the material weakness described above, management believes that, as of December 31, 2007, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting based on those criteria.

 

We have no current plans, however, to add accounting or financial reporting personnel and, accordingly, expect to continue to lack segregation of accounting, financial reporting and oversight functions. As operations increase in scope, we intend to evaluate hiring additional in-house accounting personnel so as to provide for appropriate segregation of duties within the accounting function.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting.

20

Committees of the Board

 

The Company presently maintains a standing audit committee and compensation committee. Committee assignments are re-evaluated annually and approved by the Board of Directors.

 

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter that was adopted and is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on July 12, 2005. Under its charter, the Audit Committee is given the sole authority and responsibility for the appointment, retention, compensation and oversight of our independent auditors, including pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditors.

 

Donald Getty (Chairman), Don Sampson and Theodor Hennig are the members, and during 2007 were the members, of the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is qualified to serve on the Audit Committee based on their financial and accounting acumen. The Board of Directors has determined that none of the members of the Audit Committee meets the SEC criteria of an “audit committee financial expert” and that only Mr. Getty satisfies the independence standards for audit committee members (applying the standards adopted by Nasdaq). At such time as the Board of Directors determines that the size and scope of the Company’s operations and its available financial resources warrant such, the Company expects to seek to add independent directors for appointment to the Audit Committee, including one or more directors satisfying the criteria of an “audit committee financial expert.”

 

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving, on behalf of the Board of Directors, the amounts and types of compensation to be paid to the Company’s executive officers and the non-employee directors; provides oversight and guidance in the development of compensation and benefit plans for all Company employees; and administers all Company stock-based compensation plans.

 

Donald Getty (Chairman) and Donald Sampson are the members, and during 2007 were the members, of the Compensation Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that only Mr. Getty satisfies the independence standards established by Nasdaq.

 

Board Meetings

 

During 2007, the Board of Directors held 5 formal meetings, the Audit Committee held 1 meeting and the Compensation Committee held 1 meeting. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors, plus (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which the director served.

 

Nomination of Directors

 

The Board of Directors does not maintain a standing Nominating Committee. Because of the small size of the Board, the lack of independent directors and the current demands on the directors, the Board determined that the nomination process would best be carried out by drawing upon the resources of all Board members with the requirement that nominees be selected by a majority of the directors.

 

In assessing potential director nominees, the Board looks for candidates who possess a wide range of experience, skills, areas of expertise, knowledge and business judgment, high integrity and demonstrated superior performance or accomplishments in his or her professional undertakings.

 

The Board may utilize the services of a search firm to help identify candidates for director who meet the qualifications outlined above.

 

The Board will also consider for nomination as director qualified candidates suggested by stockholders of the Company. Stockholders can suggest qualified candidates for nomination as director by writing to our corporate secretary at #700-300 South Fourth Street, Las Vegas, Nevada 89101. Submissions that are received that meet the criteria outlined above are forwarded to the full Board of Directors for further review and consideration.

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Ethics covering all of its officers, directors and employees. The Company requires all employees to adhere to the Code of Business Ethics in addressing legal and ethical issues

 

21

encountered in conducting their work. The Code of Business Ethics requires that the Company’s employees avoid conflicts of interest, comply with all laws and other legal requirements, conduct business in an honest and ethical manner and otherwise act with integrity and in the Company's best interest.

 

The Board of Directors has also adopted a separate Code of Business Ethics for the CEO and Senior Financial Officers. This Code of Ethics supplements its general Code of Business Ethics and is intended to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and accurate reporting, and compliance with laws as well as other matters.

 

The Code of Business Ethics for the CEO and Senior Financial Officers is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 and is available for review at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Under the securities laws of the United States, our directors, executive officers, and any person holding more than ten percent of our common stock are required to report their initial ownership of our common stock and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specific due dates for these reports have been established and we are required to disclose any failure to file by these dates during fiscal year 2007. To our knowledge, all of the filing requirements were satisfied on a timely basis in fiscal year 2007. In making these disclosures, we have relied solely on written statements of our directors, executive officers and stockholders and copies of the reports that they filed with the Commission.

(1)

Refer to Note 10, “Stock Options and Awards,” in the Notes to Financial Statements for the relevant assumptions used to determine the valuation of our option awards.

(2)

Salary to Mr. Sampson was accrued and unpaid during both 2007 and 2006. $146,603 of salary accrued and owing at December 31, 2006 was paid through the issuance of 4,188,657 shares of common stock in April 2008.

(3)

Consulting fees and expenses to Mr. Hennig was accrued and unpaid during both 2007 and 2006. $98,655 of fees and expenses accrued and owing at December 31, 2006 was paid through the issuance of 2,818,714 shares of common stock in April 2008.

 

Base Salary

 

Compensation of the Company’s CEO and CFO is set by employment agreements at such level as the compensation committee believes will motivate leadership and accomplishment and compensate such officers for their efforts and risks taken on in managing an early stage company. The salaries of Mr. Sampson, as CEO, and Mr. Hennig, as CFO, were contractually fixed at $180,000 and $120,000Cdn, respectively, during 2007. Because of the absence of sufficient funding to support salary payments, the stated salaries/consulting fees of Mr. Sampson and Mr. Hennig were accrued during 2006 and 2007 and the outstanding 2006 balances were settled through the issuance of common stock during the first quarter of 2008, with Mr. Sampson receiving 4,188,657 shares of common stock in settlement of $$146,603 of salary and Mr. Hennig receiving 2,818,714 shares of common stock in settlement of $ $98,655 of salary.

 

22

Bonus

 

The Company does not presently maintain any formal bonus plan for executive officers and employees and no bonuses were given during 2007. The compensation committee may, at its discretion, elect to adopt a formal bonus plan to reward shorter-term performance based on the satisfaction of specific financial and other goals to be established by the compensation committee from time to time. Mr. Sampson and Mr. Hennigs’ contracts call for bonuses in the event that certain EBITDA thresholds are achieved.

 

Stock Option and Equity Incentive Programs

 

The Company intends that its stock option program is the primary vehicle for offering long-term incentives and rewarding executive officers and key employees. The Company also regards its stock option program as a key retention tool. This is a very important factor in determination of the terms of options granted, including the number of underlying shares that are granted in connection with that award. Because of the direct relationship between the value of an option and the market price of common stock, the Company believes that granting stock options is the best method of motivating the executive officers to manage the Company in a manner that is consistent with the interests of the company and its stockholders.

 

Option Awards Granted. The Company grants options to executive officers and key employees at the time of hiring and, thereafter, at such times as the compensation committee deems appropriate based upon prior performance, the importance of retaining their services and the potential for their performance to help us attain long-term goals. However, there is no set formula for the granting of options to individual executives or employees. During 2007, the Company granted no stock options.

 

Timing of Grants. Stock option awards to the executive officers and other key employees have, historically, been limited to the commencement of employment and annually thereafter at such time as the compensation committee deems appropriate. The compensation committee has adopted as a policy a specific prohibition of timing stock option grants, and has made no stock option grants, to coordinate with the release of material non-public information in any manner designed to affect the value of executive compensation. The exercise price of all stock options is set at or above the prior day’s closing price of the common stock.

 

Stock Ownership Guidelines. The Company does not presently maintain any guidelines or requirements with respect to minimum number, or value, of our shares to be owned by our executive officers or directors.

 

Perquisites

 

Our executives are entitled to few benefits and, in each case, those benefits are available to all of our employees. In this regard it should be noted that we do not provide pension arrangements, post-retirement health coverage, or similar benefits for our executives or employees.

Post-Employment Compensation

 

Pension Benefits

 

The Company does not provide pension arrangements or post-retirement health coverage for executives or employees.

 

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

 

The Company does not provide any nonqualified defined contribution or other deferred compensation plans.

 

Other Post-Employment Payments

 

The Company has no agreements, written or oral, to provide any payments to executives or employees upon termination or a change-in-control.

 

Director Compensation

 

The Company currently does not pay any compensation to its directors other than reimbursing costs related to performing their duties. Directors are granted stock options pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan. In connection with the adoption of the Company’s 2005 Long Term Performance Plan, during 2005, each of the non-employee directors was granted, on a one-time basis, stock options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.50. All of those options expired in May 2007.

 

Employment Contracts and Change of Control Agreements

 

The Company entered into an employment agreement with Donald Sampson, effective as of March 1, 2007 for a period ending February 28, 2009, pursuant to which Mr. Sampson is employed as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Sampson is entitled to a base salary of $180,000 and a bonus equal to 2% of the EBITDA when it becomes positive, which will be paid quarterly. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Sampson may earn up to one year’s salary if terminated without cause.

 

The Company entered into a consulting agreement with Theodor Hennig’s professional corporation pursuant to which Mr. Hennig serves as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The consulting agreement was effective September 27, 2005 and runs through September 27, 2007. The consulting agreement was extended, effective October 1, 2007, for an additional term of fifteen months. Under the consulting agreement, Mr. Hennig is entitled to a monthly fee of CDN 10,000 plus expenses and an annual bonus equal to 2% of EBITDA.

 

Except for Mr. Sampson’s employment agreement and Mr. Hennig’s consulting agreement, the Company does not presently have employment agreements, or agreements relating to changes in control of the company, with any of its officers or employees.

 

24

The Company expects to enter into employment agreements with key employees, to implement comprehensive compensation arrangements with its officers and to adopt benefit plans in the future at the discretion of the Board of Directors to attract and retain officers and key employees.

 

ITEM 11.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

As of April 15, 2008, 68,785,437shares of common stock were outstanding. The following table sets forth, as of such date, information with respect to shares beneficially owned by:

 

 

§

each person who is known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of its outstanding shares of common stock;

 

§

each of the Company’s directors;

 

§

each of the Company’s named executive officers; and

 

§

all of the Company’s directors and executive officers as a group.

 

Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act. Under this rule, shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date of this table. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares includes the amount of shares beneficially owned by the person by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual voting power.

 

To the Company’s knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them.

ITEM 12.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND    

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

The Company has, from time to time, entered into transactions with various entities controlled by the Company's current or former principal stockholders, officers and directors.

 

As a result of limited resources available to the Company, during 2006 and 2007, substantially all of the salary and expenses payable to the Company’s senior management (Messrs. Sampson and Hennig) was accrued and settled through the issuance of shares of common stock. The following table sets forth the salary and expenses settled in stock during 2006 and 2007, the number of shares issued in settlement of accrued salary and expenses during 2006 and 2007 and the accrued and unpaid salary outstanding at the end of 2006 and 2007.

Salary and expenses settled in stock during the year reflects amounts actually settled during the applicable period and does not necessarily reflect salary actually accrued during the stated period. For instance, salary settled during 2006 relates principally to salary accrued during 2005.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2007, the accrued salary and expenses owed to Messrs. Sampson and Hennig were settled through the issuance of 4,188,657 and 2,818,714shares, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Officers and Directors

Globetech Environmental, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Globetech Environmental, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. 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 of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Globetech Environmental, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has a liquidity problem, and requires funds for its operational activities. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going concern”, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for at least one year and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

 

Several conditions and events cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern”. The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $6,575,693 for the period from April 7, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 2007, has a liquidity problem, and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained.

 

The Company’s ability to survive will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s receiving continued financial support, completing public equity financing, or generating profitable operations in the future.

 

These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”. While management believes that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the “going concern” assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.

 

If the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”, then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

 

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of accounting policies for Globetech Environmental, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 7, 1997. The Company ceased all operating activities during the period from April 7, 1997 to July 9, 1999 and was considered dormant. On July 9, 1999, the Company obtained a Certificate of Renewal from the State of Nevada. From 2000 to 2005, the Company made, and abandoned, a series of acquisitions. On August 12, 2005, the Company changed its name to Globetech Environmental, Inc. and adopted its current business plan marketing medical waste treatment products.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Globetech Environmental, Inc. (formerly Canglobe International, Inc.), Logmed Technologie GmbH, Beiseker Envirotech, Inc., both wholly owned subsidiaries, and CW Remediation, Ltd., in which the Company has a 50 percent interest, of which Beiseker Envirotech, Inc. and CW Remediation are insolvent and dormant, respectively.

 

The results of subsidiaries acquired or sold during the year are consolidated from their effective dates of acquisition through their effective dates of disposition.

 

 

All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company’s principal services and operations are comprised of the marketing, sales and leasing of its proprietary GT Waste Sterilizer medical waste disinfection/sterilization units and the operation of contract medical waste treatment facilities.

 

F - 7

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

 

Pervasiveness of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing the loss for the year applicable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years. There were no common equivalent shares outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006 that have been included in dilutive loss per share calculation as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2007, there were 10,607,100 warrants and 4,229,688 options outstanding.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s primary functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities resulting from transactions with foreign suppliers and customers are translated at year end exchange rates while income and expense accounts are translated at average rates in effect during the year. Gains and losses on translations are included in income.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2006 financial statements to conform with the 2007 presentation.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has a net operating loss for income taxes. Due to the regulatory limitations in utilizing the loss, it is uncertain whether the Company will be able to realize a benefit from these losses. Therefore, a deferred tax asset has not been recorded. There are no significant tax differences requiring deferral.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Effective December 31, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, (“FAS 123R”). Prior to 2005, the Company accounted for share-based payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“FAS 123”). In accordance with APB 25 no compensation was required to be recognized for options granted that had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

 

Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of each award. The results for the prior periods have not been restated.

 

Our loss from operations and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was not affected by our adoption of FAS 123R as compared to our results had we accounted for stock-based compensation under APB 25.

NOTE 7 – LOGMED ACQUISITION

 

In March 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hans-Eberhardt Frenzel (“Frenzel”), Helmut Göldner (“Göldner”), Göldner Umwelt & Hygienetechnik GmbH (“GUH”), and Logmed Technologie GmbH (“Logmed Technologie”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase:

 

 

for a purchase price of 406,000 Euro (approximately $486,000), from Frenzel and Göldner, 100% of the stock of Logmed Technologie;

 

 

for a purchase price of 34,000 Euro (approximately $40,000), from Frenzel and Göldner, an operating Logmed hospital waste treatment machine (a “Logmed”) and existing contract rights pursuant to which the Logmed unit is currently operated at the Halle clinic medical facility in Wittenberg, Germany; and

 

 

for a purchase price of 660,000 Euro (approximately $790,000), from Göldner, a portfolio of patents constituting the underlying Logmed technology.

The agreement also provided that the Company would pay to GUH 400,000 Euro (approximately $478,000) for annulment of an existing license agreement with Logmed Technologie and assignment to Logmed Technologie of the rights of GUH with respect to operating rights at the Halle clinic medical facility.

The aggregate sums payable by the Company under the agreement, 1,500,000 Euro (approximately $1,795,000), were payable in instalments through December 31, 2008.

In addition to the instalments payable under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay to Göldner an ongoing fee with respect to each Logmed unit sold by the Company.

On March 24, 2006, the Company paid the initial installment of 150,000 Euro and the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the stock of Logmed Technologie GmbH along with the patent portfolio underlying the Logmed unit and the operating Logmed unit and contract relating to operation of the unit.

 

Effective October 31, 2007, Helmut Goldner unilaterally terminated the Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to which the Company had previously acquired the rights to the intellectual property and patents pertaining to Logmed. Goldner’s termination of the agreement was triggered by the Company withholding a 100,000 Euro payment that was due September 30, 2007. The Company withheld this payment in an effort to address the ongoing failure of Mr. Goldner to perform certain obligations under the agreement. The Company attempted to renegotiate the terms of the agreement to reflect the defaults by Mr. Golder but was unable to arrive at a satisfactory resolution. As a result of the termination, all Logmed intellectual property and patents reverted to Mr. Goldner, $1,325,000 (900,000 Euro) in remaining payments to Goldner were eliminated and the Company retained ownership and continued to operate Logmed Technologie GmbH as its European subsidiary and base of operations. As a further result of the termination of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company recognized a gain of $44,771 from the excess of the debt extinguished over the carrying value of the Logmed assets.

NOTE 10 – SALE/LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS  

 

In 2007, the Company entered into three sale/leaseback transactions as a method to finance the leasing of 6 medical waste processing machines. The agreements required the purchasers to pay cash on closing for the full purchase price of the machines. Total proceeds received in 2007 was $3,750,000. The Purchasers then leased the machines back to the Company for periods of 7-10 years for monthly payments that total $78,000 in aggregate. The Company then must sublease the machines to end users at rates sufficient to make its lease payments and generate a profit. At time of writing, none of the 6 units had been subleased although two units are in final stage of construction and should be operating shortly.
