A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
Note 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CHANGE OF NAME
On July 11, 1997, the Company changed its name from Tirex America, Inc. to The Tirex Corporation.
NATURE OF BUSINESS
The Tirex Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 19, 1987. The Company was originally organized to provide comprehensive health care services, but due to its inability to raise sufficient capital, was unable to implement its business plan. The Company became inactive in November 1990.
REORGANIZATION
On March 26, 1993, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with Louis V. Muro, currently an officer and a director of the Company, and former Officers and Directors of the Company (collectively the "Seller"), for the purchase of certain technology owned and developed by the Seller (the "Technology") to be used to design, develop and construct a prototype machine and thereafter a production quality machine for the cryogenic disintegration of used tires. The Technology was conceptually developed by the Seller prior to their affiliation or association with the Company.
DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE
At September 30, 2005, the Company is still in the development stage. The operations consist mainly of raising capital, obtaining financing, developing equipment, obtaining customers and supplies, installing and testing equipment and administrative activities.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of The Tirex Corporation, Tirex Canada R&D Inc., The Tirex Corporation Canada Inc., Tirex Advanced Products Quebec Inc. and Tirex Acquisition Corp. Tirex Canada R&D Inc. is held 51% by certain shareholders of the Company. The shares owned by these shareholders are held in escrow by the Company's attorney and are restricted from transfer thereby allowing for a full consolidation of this Company. The Tirex Corporation Canada Inc., Tirex Advanced Products Quebec Inc. and Tirex Acquisition Corp. are 100% held by the Company. All subsidiary companies except Tirex Canada R&D Inc. are dormant. All inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less, were deemed to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORY
The Company values inventory, which consists of finished goods and equipment held for resale, at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and provisions for write-downs. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of five years. No depreciation is recorded for equipment written down to salvage value.
Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred while additions and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in earnings.
INVESTMENT
An investment made by the Company, in which the Company owns less than a 20% interest, is stated at cost value. The cost value approximates the fair market value of the investment.
ESTIMATES
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
ADOPTION OF STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 123
In 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to record stock-based Compensation and other costs paid by the issuance of stock at fair value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation, stock issued for non-employee services and stock issued to obtain assets or in exchange for liabilities using the fair value method prescribed in SFAS 123. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
ADOPTION OF STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 128
In 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings per Share. SFAS 128 changes the standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, Earnings per Share. SFAS 128 replaces the presentation of Primary EPS with a presentation of Basic EPS and replaces the presentation of Fully Diluted EPS with a presentation of Diluted EPS. It also requires dual presentation of Basic and Diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the Basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the Diluted EPS computation. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods. SFAS 128 also requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented.
THE TIREX CORPORATION
A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
As it relates to the Company, the principal differences between the provisions of SFAS 128 and previous authoritative pronouncements are the exclusion of common stock equivalents in the determination of Basic Earnings Per Share and the market price at which common stock equivalents are calculated in the Determination of Diluted Earnings Per Share.
A Basic Earnings per Share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted Earnings per Share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common equivalent shares related to stock options and warrants outstanding during the period.
The adoption of SFAS 128 had no effect on previously reported loss per share amounts for the year ended June 30, 1997. For the years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, Primary Loss per Share was the same as Basic Loss per Share and Fully Diluted Loss per Share was the same as Diluted Loss per Share. A net loss was reported in 2004 and 2003, and accordingly, in those years, the denominator for the Basic EPS calculation was equal to the weighted average of outstanding shares with no consideration for outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments, which principally include cash, note receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of such instruments.
The fair values of the Company's debt instruments are based on the amount of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using the Company's borrowing rate. At September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively, the carrying value of all financial instruments was not materially different from fair value.
INCOME TAXES
The Company has net operating loss carryovers of approximately $30.2 million as of September 30, 2005, expiring through 2026. However, based upon present Internal Revenue Service regulations governing the utilization of net operating loss carryovers where the corporation has issued substantial additional stock and there has been a change in control as defined by the Internal Revenue Service regulations, a substantial portion of this loss carryover may not be available to the Company.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, effective July 1993. SFAS No. 109 requires the establishment of a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards. Because of the uncertainties discussed in Note 2, however, any deferred tax asset established for utilization of the Company's tax loss carryforwards would correspondingly require a valuation allowance of the same amount pursuant to SFAS No. 109. Accordingly, no deferred tax asset is reflected in these financial statements.
The Company does not currently have research and experimental development tax credits receivable from the Canadian Federal government and the Quebec Provincial government as at September 30, 2005.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date for monetary items and historical rates of exchange for non-monetary items with the resulting translation adjustment recorded directly to a separate component of shareholders' equity. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Currency transaction gains or losses are recognized in current operations.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from the sale of TCS Systems will be recognized when the installed product is accepted by the Customer. All other revenue from other products will be recognized when shipped to the customer.
Note 2 GOING CONCERN
As reported in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $576,766 for the year ended June 30, 2005 and an additional net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2005 in the amount of $138,524.
In March 1993, the Company had begun its developmental stage with a new business plan. As of March 2000, the Company had developed a production quality prototype of its patented system for the disintegration of scrap tires, but nonetheless continued its research and development efforts to improve the machine's performance and to permit greater flexibility in design for specific customer applications. Due to the Company's lack of working capital during the year ended June 30, 2002, all rubber crumb production was suspended and research and development efforts have been hampered. Pending receipt of funding from operations, government assistance, loans or equity financing, crumb rubber production and previous research and development efforts will not be resumed. While the Company has engaged the process of marketing the TCS System to numerous potential clients since the beginning of the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2000, as of September 30, 2005, the Company had not yet consummated an unconditional purchase order for a TCS System.
The Company is dependent on the success of its marketing of its TCS Systems, and/or raising funds through equity sales, bank or investor loans, governmental grants or a combination of these, to continue as a going concern. The Company's uncertainty as to its ability to generate revenue and its ability to raise sufficient capital, raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
As at September 30, 2005, plant and equipment consisted of the following:
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | $149,516 |
Manufacturing equipment | 62,400 |
Subtotal | 211,916 |

Note 5 CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
The Company leases certain manufacturing equipment under agreements classified as capital leases. The cost and the accumulated amortization for such equipment as of September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005 was $62,400 and $62,400, respectively. The equipment under capital leases has been included in property and equipment on the balance sheet. The Company is in arrears on payment of these leases but default has not been declared. The lease expired on June 30, 2004. The leased equipment is not part of the Company's TCS System prototype.
Note 6 CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The Company issued Type B Convertible Subordinated Debentures between December 1997 and February 1998. These debentures bore interest at 10% and were convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.20 per share. The conversion privilege on the remaining $55,000 of these debentures expired and the amount is now included on the Balance Sheet in Long term deposits and notes.
Note 7 CONVERTIBLE NOTES
The Convertible Notes appearing on the balance sheet consisted of an investment arrangement with a group of institutional investors involving a multi-stage financing under which the Company had access to, at its option, up to $5,000,000. A first tranche of $750,000 was completed but no further draw downs were made. The terms of the convertible note were:

Certain Directors and Officers of the Company have pledged approximately 12,000,000 of their personal shares of Common Stock of the Company as security for the Convertible Notes until such time as the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form SB-2, to register common stock and warrants issuable upon the conversion of the notes, no later than 150 days after the issue date of the Convertible Notes. This deadline was not met and, as such, the investors served a notice of default to the Company on July 19, 2001. The Registration Statement was never declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission as of this date, and until such occurs, the Convertible Notes cannot be converted to Common Stock nor may the Common Stock warrants be exercised. On April 24, 2002 the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Note holders. In the event of a default under the Settlement Agreement, the term of the Convertible Notes would become effective once again. The Company defaulted on the terms of the Settlement Agreement.
Note 8 CONVERTIBLE NOTES
A convertible note, under a private arrangement, consists of the following:

SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2006, the Company completed a private placement with two investors having a total aggregate value of US$10,000, one for $2,500 and the other for $7,500. Insofar as the Company does not have enough common shares available for issuance, the investors agreed to accept that the investment would be in the form of non-interest-bearing convertible debt with no fixed terms of repayment. When an adequate number of common shares become available, these investors will be able to convert their loans at a price of US$0.005 per share. Any conversion would be proportionally adjusted in the event of stock splits or reverse splits. In consideration of the agreed upon conversion price, prior to any possible adjustments, the company would issue 2,000,000 common shares. Until such time of any conversion, the US$10,000 is recorded as a liability on the Company's Balance Sheet.
Note 9 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Convertible loans include amounts primarily due to Directors, Officers and employees. Historically, such amounts due have been repaid through the issuance of stock. At September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, the balances owing to Directors and Officers was $2,031,929 and $1,926,929, respectively. These amounts are without interest or terms of repayment.
Long-term deposits and notes included an amount of $118,500 at September 30, 2005, which is payable to Ocean Tire Recycling & Processing Co., Inc., a company owned by a Director of the Company.

During the year ended June 30, 2005 and the three month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company did not issue any common stock in exchange for services performed.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, an Officer of the Company exercised stock options pursuant to a services agreement. The exercise of these stock options entitled the Officer to 1,500,000 common shares of the Company on a cash-less basis. The Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares available at September 30, 2005 for issuance of this stock and as such, the amount attributable to these shares has been recorded as part of the balances owing to Directors and Officers included in Convertible loans. As reported in Note 8, the Company has accepted a grand total of $10,000 from two investors in the form of a convertible debt. The conversion terms would require the issuance of 2,000,000 shares, subject to adjustments. Until the Company has enough shares to issue to satisfy this obligation, the $10,000 is recorded as a debt.
On January 31, 2001, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001, from 165,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares.
As at September 30, 2005, the Company had 249,895,892 Common shares issued and outstanding, versus its authorization of 250,000,000 shares.
Note 11 CONVERTIBLE DEBT
In the event that holders of convertible rights of option exercise such rights of conversion, the Company does not have sufficient number of authorized shares conversion stock to fulfill such obligations and a shareholder meeting would be required to approve the additional authorized number of shares. There is no assurance that the shareholders would approve the increase to the number of authorized shares of stock to meet the conversion obligations under the various conversion agreements or options.
THE TIREX CORPORATION
A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
Note 12 GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE
The Company is eligible for and has made claims for tax credits related to scientific research and experimental development expenditures made in Canada. These amounts, under Canadian Federal and Provincial tax law in conjunction with its annual tax return filings, need not be offset against taxes otherwise payable to become refundable to the Company at the end of its fiscal year. As such, during the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company received approximately $246,970, which was recorded as an increase in stockholders' equity paid-in capital. During the years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2005 and the three month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company did not make any additional claims for tax credits as it was not eligible to do so and, as such, the Company did not record any additional tax credits receivable. The previous receivable balance in respect of tax credits from these governments went from $246,970 as of June 30, 2002 to zero as of June 30, 2003 and remained as such as of June 30, 2004, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005.
Note 13 COMMITMENTS
Rental expense for the year ended June 30, 2005 amounted to zero. Rental expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2005 amounted to zero.
At September 30, 2005, the Company was in arrears of rent, including interest and related charges, in the approximate amount of $560,000. A settlement agreement with the former landlord is in place under the terms of which the Company would pay to the former landlord the sum of $140,000 from the proceeds to the Company of revenues from each of the first four sales of TCS Systems.
Note 14 LITIGATION
An action was instituted by Plaintiffs, an individual and a corporation, in a Canadian court alleging a breach of contract and claims damages of approximately $508,600 representing expenses and an additional approximate amount of $1,874,000 in loss of profits. The current action follows two similar actions taken in United States courts, the first of which was withdrawn and the second of which was dismissed based on forum non convenience and other considerations. A detailed answer has been filed by the Company denying all liability, stating further that Plaintiffs failed to comply with their obligations. Counsel for the Company believes that the Company has meritorious defenses to all of the Plaintiff's claims. The action is still pending.
A Plaintiff instituted an action, a corporation, in August 2001 in a Canadian court claiming approximately $63,000 is due and owing for the manufacture and delivery of tire disintegrators. The Company has prepared its defense and a cross claim against the Plaintiff as the product delivered was defective and the Company believes it is entitled to a reimbursement of sums paid. The action is still pending.
An action was instituted by a Plaintiff, the Company's landlord, against the Company in June 2001 for arrears of rent in the amount of approximately $113,900. Subsequent additions to arrearages with respect to rent and property taxes raised the amount due to approximately $560,000. A settlement agreement with the former landlord is in place, under the terms of which the Company would pay to the former landlord the sum of $140,000 from the proceeds to the Company of revenues from the first four sales of TCS Systems.
Note 15 ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The deficit accumulated during the development stage included accumulated comprehensive other income totaling $103,396.
Item 3 - Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company's principal executive officer, and its Chief Financial Officer, who is the Company's principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2005. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to The Tirex Corporation, including its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be included in this report and the other reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. During the first fiscal quarter of 2006, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF
OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of
significant factors which have affected the Company's financial position and
operations during the three month period ended September 30, 2005. This
discussion also includes events which occurred subsequent to the end of the last
quarter and contains both historical and forward-looking statements. When used
in this discussion, the words "expect(s)", "feel(s)","believe(s)", "will",
"may", "anticipate(s)" "intend(s)" and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected. Since our very recent filing of the Company's 10-KSB Report
in mid-September 2005, we have not been able to make any substantial progress in
bringing any sales of TCS Systems to fruition. We invite our investors and
potential investors to consult our Fiscal 2005 10-KSB for a more complete
picture of our marketing efforts over the last few years. We announced in March 2000 that our tire recycling technology
was ready for replication and commercialization. The early demonstrations of the
prototype TCS-1 generated substantial interest but no concrete sales. We then
put into place those elements which would assist in our marketing efforts,
starting with the accreditation for our system by Recyc-Québec and showed this
documentation to prospective customers, some of whom had traveled to Montreal to
see the prototype working. While this accreditation probably provided some
measure of assurance to potential customers, it was not adequate in itself to
concretize sales. The systems still did not have a demonstrable long-term track
record, and, in the absence of performance guarantees, potential customers, or
their financial backers still did not accept the risks that buying into a new
technology entailed. Therefore, the Company signed its License Agreement with
Simpro S.p.A. of Italy in January of 2003, and thus created the potential that
performance guarantees could be offered. This possibility of a performance
guarantee, backed by major international insurance companies, renewed interest
in our technology and has led to several very interesting potential customers.
Regardless, there remains substantial reticence on the part of either the
customers or their financial backers, the effect of which has been to impose
substantial delays in bringing projects to fruition. While Management remains
more confident than ever about the imminence of a first sale, it remains that,
as of September 30, 2005, and even as of the date of this report, no
purchase/sale contracts had been written. In January 2003, the Company entered into a License Agreement
with Simpro S.p.A. for exclusive manufacturing rights and for non-exclusive
marketing rights with respect to TCS Systems. To date, Simpro has not sold any
systems. The installed cost of a TCS-2 System to an entrepreneur,
depending on the system configuration, the condition of the feedstock and the
output requirements and excluding building and infrastructure costs, is in the
vicinity of Euros 5.500,000 (approximately US$6.6 million using an approximate
exchange rate of US$1.20 = 1 Euro). This represents a substantial investment for
an entrepreneur and, even with performance guarantees available to substitute
for the lack of a significant operating history, entrepreneurs or their
financial backers have heretofore been reticent to accept the risk of purchasing
a new technology. Simpro has been able to obtain insurance backing to support
their offer of limited performance guarantees, and such potential is expected to
assist the marketing effort. Management is of the opinion, however, that insofar
as the systems are normally priced in Euros, the relative value of the Euro
against the US dollar has been detrimental to the sales efforts. During the last quarter of Fiscal 2005, we initiated
discussions with Virginia-based TPG-USA Inc. This company is engaged in
management and marketing in numerous industrial sectors, many of which are
characterized by a basis in high-technology. This group already has numerous
realizations to its credit, including many major industrial projects. They have
represented to us that they have very good connections with the highest levels
of banking, finance and politics in the Middle East and in Morocco.
Communications with TPG-USA intensified over the summer of
2005 and we are aware that they are attempting to develop projects involving our
technology in certain overseas markets. While they have expressed optimism as to
the possible end result, as of September 30, 2005, no firm contracts had been
signed. Further information on TPG-USA can be obtained from their web site:
www.tpgusa.org. On this site, one can
navigate through "business lines" to "recycling and waste management" where the
Tirex technology is featured. At present, the Company and its strategic partners, Simpro
and TPG-USA Inc. are currently working intensively with entrepreneurs in
Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Mexico. Simpro is dealing with
potential customers in Europe, South America and Africa. We, TPG-USA and Simpro
have been able to ascertain that these potential customers are bona fide in
nature. Regardless, there can be no guarantee that any of these potential
customers will actually sign an unconditional sales contract. The finalizing of the License Agreement with Simpro means
that the gross revenues from these sales will be recorded on Simpro's books, not
in the books of Tirex. The amount remitted back to Tirex will take the form of a
royalty and will be accounted for as such. Even if these sales would have been
set up in such a way as to be recordable on the books of Tirex, generally
accepted accounting principles in effect in the USA would have prevented the
Company from recognizing the revenue as such until the systems would have been
accepted by the customers. Given the time line required to manufacture, install
and have accepted these systems, it is quite unlikely that these revenues would
become recognizable during our fiscal year which will end June 30, 2006. By
extension, the same principles would apply to the royalty to be received by
Tirex. While the Company will benefit from the periodic cash inflows resulting
from progress payments during the next approximately ten months, the royalty
will, in fact, not have been earned until the systems are accepted by the
customers. In February of 2001, we concluded a private financing with an
investor group. Under the terms of the Agreement, we had the contractual right
to require the Investor to purchase up to US$5,000,000 of put notes. We drew
down US$750,000 of this amount and used the proceeds of this financing toward
legal and consulting fees due, normal operating expenses such as payroll, rent
and taxes and the acquisition of equipment for our prototype TCS-1 Plant. In
July of 2001, the Company entered into a technical default with respect to the
Agreement by not having an SB-2 Registration Statement declared effective by the
SEC. After several months of negotiations, the Company entered into a Settlement
Agreement with the Investor Group which provided for a cash paydown of the
amount owed, including interest and penalties over a period of approximately two
years starting with the date the Settlement Agreement was signed, the right of
the Investor Group to continue to be able to sell up to 600,000 collateral and
Rule 144 shares per month and the issuance of three series of warrants, 500,000
each, exercisable at prices of one cent, five cents and ten cents over a three
year period. This Settlement Agreement was announced in April of 2002, and
details of the terms of the Agreement are filed as an Exhibit to this Report.
The Company, in the absence of having completed its first sales of TCS Systems
according to our expectations, was unable to generate the cash flow necessary to
pay down the Convertible Note in accordance with the terms of the Settlement
Agreement. Thus, the Company once again finds itself in a position of default.
Numerous recourses are available to the holders of the Convertible Notes, but to
date, these recourses have not been exercised. Such recourses can be exercised
at any time and the fact that they have not been exercised so far does not
preclude their being exercised now or in the future. The Company has kept the
Convertible Note holders apprised of its efforts to sell TCS Systems and thus
restart the repayments on the Convertible Notes.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2006, our president
completed a very small private placement with two investors having a total
aggregate value of US$10,000, one for US$2,500 and the other for US$7,500.
Insofar as we do not have nearly enough common shares available for issuance,
the investors agreed to accept that the investment would be in the form of
non-interest-bearing convertible debt with no fixed terms of repayment. When an
adequate number of common shares will become available, these investors will be
able to convert their loans at a price of ½ cent per share. Any conversion would
be proportionally adjusted in the event of stock splits or reverse splits. In
consideration of the agreed upon conversion price, prior to any possible
adjustments, the company would issue 2,000,000 common shares. Until such time of
any conversion, the US$10,000 is recorded as a liability on our Balance Sheet.
The cash was used to pay general company expenses. Because of the lengthy delay preceding the commencement of
commercial operations, we have historically had to cover our overhead costs from
sources other than from commercial revenues. We expect that some portion of our
future overhead costs, which may be quite significant, will continue to be
covered from sources other than commercial revenues. Since March of 2003, our
monthly our-of-pocket cash costs have been reduced to negligible amounts, and
thus our requirement to find financial resources to fund operations is minimal.
Our current condition remains that we have negligible cash and no operating cash
inflows. Our cash flow deficit condition will continue until such time as the
Company will start generating revenues from the sale of TCS Systems. Until we
can succeed in securing an unconditional sales contract for the sale of one or
more systems employing our technology, the company will not be engaging any
significant financial commitments and will not be engaging in any significant
research and development activities nor increasing employment. While we have initiated marketing of TCS Systems and have in
place a License Agreement, as of September 30, 2005, no unconditional sales
orders for TCS Systems had been received and manufacturing of TCS Systems has
not been initiated. We continue to anticipate that we will begin selling or
licensing out the sale of TCS Systems and thus initiating the manufacturing of
these systems on a commercial soon. However, unless and until we successfully
develop and commence TCS System manufacturing and sales operations on a
full-scale commercial level, we will not generate significant revenues from
operations. Accordingly, we would be obligated to attempt to seek non-commercial
sources of cash inflows to support operations until TCS Systems sales and
manufacturing operations would become a reality. In the event of such a
circumstance, there can further be no assurance that such non-commercial funding
would be available at all or on terms acceptable to management. Except for
activities related to the recycled crumb rubber industry, as noted above and in
previous filings, we have never engaged in any other significant business
activities. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of September 30, 2005, the Company had total assets of
$233,297 as compared to $233,297 at September 30, 2004 reflecting no change, and
also no change versus total assets at June 30, 2005. There were no changes in
the value of individual assets, representing Notes Receivable, Inventory,
Property and Equipment and an Investment, from September 30, 2004 to September
30, 2005 and from June 30, 2005 to September 30, 2005. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had total liabilities
of $5,261,028 as compared to $4,540,362 at September 30, 2004, reflecting an
increase of $720,666, and reflecting an increase of $226,833 versus total
liabilities as at June 30, 2005, which total amounted to $5,034,195. The
increase in total liabilities from September 30, 2004 to September 30, 2005 is
primarily attributable to an increase of $256,917 in Accounts Payable and
Accrued Liabilities, by a decrease of $186,967 in Convertible Notes and by an
increase of $640,717 in Convertible Loans. The increase in total liabilities
from June 30, 2005 to September 30, 2005 is primarily attributable to an
increase of $118,833 in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities and to an
increase of $105,000 in Convertible Loans. Reflecting the foregoing, the financial statements indicate
that as at September 30, 2005, the Company had a working capital deficit
(current assets minus current liabilities) of $2,449,151 compared to a working
capital deficit of $2,192,235 as at September 30, 2004, reflecting an increase
of $256,916. The working capital deficit of $2,449,151 as at September 30, 2005
compares to a working capital deficit of $2,337,318 as at June 30, 2005,
reflecting an increase of $111,833. Operations The financial statements which are included in this report
reflect total operations and other expenses of $138,524 for the three month
period ended September 30, 2005 versus $129,116 for the comparative three month
period ended September 30, 2004, reflecting an increase of $9,408. The Company
has ceased Research and Development activities thereby resulting in a
significant decrease in personnel expenses and other Research and Development
expenses compared with prior periods. The success of the tire recycling manufacturing business and
the ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent upon the ability of
the Company to obtain adequate financing to commence profitable, commercial
manufacturing and sales activities and the TCS Systems' ability to meet
anticipated performance specifications on a continuous, long term commercial
basis. The Company believes that the amounts accrued to date in
respect of the shares issued to compensate the executive officers and
consultants reflect the fair value of the services rendered, and that the
recipients of such shares received such shares at an appropriate and reasonable
discount from the then current public market price. The Company believes that
the discount is warranted due to the fact that there are often restrictions on
the transfer of said shares arising out of the absence of registration, and the
uncertainty respecting our ability to continue as a going concern. From inception (July 15, 1987) through September 30, 2005,
the Company has incurred a cumulative net loss of $30,226,572. Approximately
$1,057,356 of such cumulative net loss was incurred prior to the inception of
the Company's present business plan, in connection with the Company's
discontinued proposed health care business and was due primarily to the
expending of costs associated with the unsuccessful attempt to establish such
health care business. The Company never commenced the proposed health care
operations and therefore, generated no revenues therefrom.
We are presently a party in the
following legal proceedings, the status of which has not changed since the
Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the Fiscal Year ended June
30, 2005. IM(2) Merchandising and Manufacturing, Inc and David B. Sinclair v. The Tirex
