PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
Up to 25,444,938 Shares
[LOGO OF PERF-GO GREEN]
Common Stock ($0.0001 par value per share)
The Selling Stockholders of Perf-Go Green Holdings, Inc. identified in
this prospectus (the "Selling Stockholders") may from time to time sell up to an
aggregate of 25,444,938 Shares ("Shares") of our common stock, par value $0.0001
per Share (the "Common Stock" or the "Company's Common Stock"). The Shares
include 7,933,333 Shares issuable upon conversion of our 10% Convertible
Promissory Notes (the "Notes"), 2,298,806 additional Shares issuable as interest
on the Notes (the "Interest Shares") and 7,933,333 Shares issuable upon the
exercise of the Company's Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Pipe Warrants").
Certain Selling Stockholders acquired the Notes and the Warrants in connection
with a transaction whereby such Selling Stockholders (all of which are
institutional and other accredited investors) invested an aggregate of
$5,950,000 in cash in the Company in exchange for the Notes and the Warrants
(the "Offering"). In addition, the Shares include 4,200,000 warrants issued to
three Selling Shareholders in connection with a private placement effectuated by
the Company in December 2007 (the "2007 Warrants"). In addition, the Shares
include 1,579,466 shares of the Company's Common Stock currently issued to
certain Selling Stockholders who purchased secured convertible notes ("Bridge
Shares") together with warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company's
common stock ("Bridge Warrants") in connection with a private placement
transaction in January and February 2008. The Pipe Warrants, 2007 Warrants and
Bridge Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the "Warrants."
We expect that sales made pursuant to this prospectus will be made:
o in broker's transactions,
o in block trades on the OTC-BB,
o in transactions directly with market makers, or
o in privately negotiated sales or otherwise.
See "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution" for further
information about the Selling Stockholders and the manner of offering of the
Shares.
We will not receive any of the proceeds of sales by the Selling
Stockholders, although we will receive up to approximately $13,258,333 from the
exercise of the Warrants to the extent they are exercised in cash. We intend to
use any proceeds received from the Selling Stockholders' exercise of the
Warrants for Working Capital and general corporate purposes. The Company will
pay the expenses incurred to register the Shares for resale, but the Selling
Stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts, if any, concessions, or
brokerage commissions associated with the sale of their Shares.
The Selling Stockholders will determine when they will sell their Shares,
and in all cases they will sell their Shares at the current market price or at
negotiated prices at the time of the sale. Securities laws and Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations may require the Selling Stockholders to
deliver this prospectus to purchasers when they resell their Shares.
Our common stock currently trades on the OTC-BB under the symbol "PGOG."
On August 7, 2008, the closing price of one share of our common stock was $0.97.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk
Factors" beginning on page 4 for a discussion of certain risk factors that
should be considered by prospective purchasers of the Company's Common Stock
offered under this prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities
commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the
adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offense.
The date of this prospectus is ________, 2008.

statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Forward-looking statements include

OUR BUSINESS
Our executive office is located at 645 Fifth Avenue, 8th Floor, New York,
New York 10022. Our telephone number is (212) 848-0253. We maintain an Internet
Website at www.perfgogreen.com. Information contained on its Internet Website is
for informational purposes only and is not part of this Registration Statement
on Form S-1.
Perf-Go Green Holdings, Inc., formerly known as ESYS Holdings, Inc. and La
Solucion, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in April 2005. Its
business was originally intended to provide assistance to the non-English
speaking Hispanic population in building and maintaining a life in North
Carolina but it did not establish operations in connection with its business
plan.
On May 13, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with
Perf-Go Green, Inc., ("Perf Go Green") a privately-owned Delaware corporation
and its shareholders pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Perf-Go Green. Perf-Go Green was
originally incorporated as a limited liability company on November 15, 2007 and
converted to a "C" corporation on January 7, 2008. As consideration for the
Share Exchange, the Company issued an aggregate of 21,079,466 shares of common
stock, $0.0001 par value (the "Common Stock") to the Perf-Go Green shareholders
resulting in a change in control of the Company with Perf-Go Green Shareholders
owning approximately 65% of the Company's common stock. In addition, the
directors and officers of Perf-Go Green were elected as directors and officers
of the Company. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company has succeeded to
the business of Perf-Go Green as its sole business.
Our objective is to create an environmentally friendly "green" company for
the development and global marketing of eco-friendly, non-toxic, food contact
compliant, biodegradable plastic products. We believe our biodegradable plastic
products offer a practical and viable solution for reducing plastic waste from
the world environment. Based solely on environmental claims statements made by
EPI Environmental Technologies, Inc. ("EPI"), the Company that manufactures
TDPA, an oxo-biodegradable plastic additive that speeds up the break down of our
plastic products, we believe our plastic products will break down in landfill
environments within twelve (12) to twenty four (24) months, leaving no visible
or toxic residue. All of our products incorporate recycled plastic. Our products
make important strides towards the reduction of plastic from the environment.
We have partnered with Spectrum, a mid-sized manufacturer and distributor
of plastic bags and plastic products to manufacture and distribute our plastic
products. With its headquarters located in Cerritos, California, Spectrum's
revenues exceed $250,000,000 in the United States. Spectrum's President, Ben
Tran, is one of our directors and shares in one of the patents on our handle
tie-bags.
The manufacturing of our biodegradable plastic products is a multi-step
process. Spectrum starts by using recycled plastic and combines it with TDPA.
Spectrum has been issued a license by EPI to use TDPA. Spectrum utilizes a
proprietary application method to produce the film made with TDPA for our trash
bags. As a result of this process, we believe, based on EPI's environmental
claims relating to TDPA, our plastic products, when discarded in soil in the
presence of microorganisms, moisture and oxygen, will biodegrade, decomposing
into simple materials found in nature and will be degradable. We believe this
degradable plastic additive technology will be suitable in the creation of many
mainstream consumer products.
1
During 2008, we intend to launch and market six (6) prominent plastic
product categories:
o Thirteen gallon, extra tall kitchen garbage bags (launched)
o Thirty gallon garage, lawn and leaf garbage bags
o Commercial garbage bags (various sizes for office buildings and for
municipalities, parks and beaches.)
o Kitty litter liner bags (three sizes)
o 10 foot by 20 foot plastic drop cloths
o Doggie Duty(TM) Bags
The sale and distribution of our initial product offering, the thirteen gallon
extra tall kitchen trash bags, began in the third quarter of 2008. We believe
that we are the first company to mass-market biodegradable trash bags and other
plastic products.

Perf-Go Green Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 2005. Our
principal executive offices are located at 645 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this
prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related
notes thereto included in those statements, as well as our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act, before you purchase
any of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the
only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us,
or that we currently deem immaterial, could negatively impact our business,
results of operations or financial condition in the future. If any of the
following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, our business,
results of operations of financial condition could be adversely affected. In
those cases, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose
all or part of your investment.
Investors, prior to making an investment decision, should carefully read
all information pertaining to the Company and consider, along with other matters
referred to herein, the risk factors set forth below, and other information
throughout this Registration Statement on Form S-1 before making a decision to
purchase securities. You should only purchase securities if you can afford to
suffer the loss of your entire investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We have no operating history.
We have only recently commenced the marketing and sale of our
biodegradable plastic products. Prospective investors in our securities have no
operating history on which to base an evaluation of our future performance. Our
prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties
frequently encountered by companies in an early stage of development,
particularly companies in new or rapidly evolving markets. Although we believe
that we have developed a model that will be successful, there can be no
assurance that we will be able to achieve or sustain profitability, or generate
sufficient cash flow to meet our capital and operating expense obligations. As a
result, you could lose your entire investment.
We are dependent on our relationship with Spectrum and if that relationship were
terminated, the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations would be materially adversely affected.
We do not own the intellectual property which makes our products
biodegradable. We have established a working relationship with Spectrum Bags,
Incorporated ("Spectrum"), a division of IPS Industries, Inc., the exclusive
manufacturing and distribution partner for our plastic products. Spectrum has a
licensing agreement with EPI Environmental Technologies, Inc. ("EPI"). EPI holds
the patent for TDPA, the chemical additive which we believe, based on
environmental claims statements published by EPI, makes our plastic products
100% biodegradable in conjunction with the Spectrum process. Spectrum has
developed the process under which TDPA is utilized to make our products
biodegradable. This process is Spectrum Plastic's trade secret. Our agreement
with Spectrum allows us to market and sell our biodegradable plastic products
utilizing TDPA. In the event of the termination of the agreement with Spectrum,
we would be required to find a new manufacturer and distributor. We would also
be required to develop a relationship with EPI in order to continue to utilize
TDPA or find a replacement product. There is no assurance that we would
successfully locate a replacement for Spectrum or EPI or that such replacement
entities are capable of producing products which make the quality of those
produced by Spectrum or EPI. The loss of our relationship with Spectrum or
Spectrum's license to use TDPA would have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have not performed any independent testing of the biodegradability of our
plastic products.
The manufacturing of our biodegradable plastic products is a multi-step
process. Spectrum starts the process by using recycled plastic and then combines
it with TDPA. Spectrum utilizes a proprietary application method to produce the
film made with TDPA for our trash bags. Based solely on EPI's environmental
claims relating to the degradability of TDPA, we believe our plastic products
will biodegrade when discarded in soil in the presence of microorganisms,
moisture and oxygen decomposing into simple materials found in nature and will
be degradable. We have not independently verified EPI's claims nor have we
tested the effect, if any, of Spectrum Plastic's process on the biodegradability
of our plastic products. There can be no assurance that our plastic products
will achieve our expected result. In the event our products do not conform to
EPI's claims regarding degradability, our business, financial condition and
results of operations would be materially adversely affected.
4
We may be unable to manage our growth.
We are planning for rapid growth and intend to aggressively build our
Company. The growth in the size and geographic range of our business will place
significant demands on management and our operating systems. Our ability to
manage our growth effectively will depend on our ability to attract additional
management personnel; to develop and improve our operating systems; to hire,
train, and manage an employee base; and to maintain adequate service capacity.
Additionally, the proposed rapid roll-out of our products and operations may
require hiring additional management personnel to oversee procurement and
materials management duties. We will also be required to rapidly expand our
operating systems and processes in order to support the projected increase in
product applications and demand. There can be no assurance that we will be able
to effectively manage growth and build the infrastructure necessary to achieve
its rapid roll-out plan.
Our success depends on our ability to retain our key personnel.
Our present and future performance will depend on the continued service of
our senior management personnel, key sales personnel, and consultants. Our key
employees include Anthony Tracy, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
Michael Caridi, our Chief Operating Officer, Linda Daniels, our Chief Marketing
Officer, and Arthur Stewart, our Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the
services of any of these individuals could have an adverse effect on us. We
currently have three-year employment agreements with Mr. Tracy, Mr. Caridi and
Ms. Daniels. We do not maintain any key man life insurance on any of our key
personnel.
The commercial success of our business depends on the widespread market
acceptance of plastics manufactured with TDPA, the chemical additive which makes
our plastic products 100% biodegradable and if we are unable to generate
interest in plastic products produced with TDPA, we will be unable to generate
sales and we will be forced to cease operations.
The market for biodegradable plastics produced with TDPA is still
developing. Our success will depend on consumer acceptance of plastics produced
with TDPA. At present, it is difficult to assess or predict with any assurance
the potential size, timing and viability of market opportunities for our product
in the plastics market. The standard plastics market sector is well established
with entrenched and well-capitalized competitors with whom we must compete.
Achieving widespread market acceptance for these products will require
substantial marketing efforts and the expenditure of sufficient resources to
create brand recognition and customer demand and to cause potential customers to
consider the potential benefits of the Company's products as against the
traditional products to which they have long been accustomed. Moreover, we have
limited marketing capabilities and resources. To date, substantially all of our
marketing activities have been conducted by members of management. The prospects
for our product line will be largely dependent upon our ability to achieve
market penetration for such products. Achieving market penetration will require
sufficient efforts by the Company to create awareness of and demand for our
products. The Company's ability to build its customer base will depend in part
on our ability to locate, hire and retain sufficient qualified marketing
personnel and to fund marketing efforts, including advertising. There can be no
assurance that our products will achieve widespread market acceptance or that
our marketing efforts will result in profitable operations
We may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property and proprietary
rights and we may be required to expend significant amounts of money and time in
attempting to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights and if we
are unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights our
competitive position in the market could suffer.
We have obtained a patent to protect our proprietary technologies relating
to our unique dispensing system. In addition, we currently hold one registered
trademark and have pending six trademark applications and one patent application
pertaining to our intellectual property rights. If we fail to successfully
enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could suffer,
which could harm our operating results. Patents may not be issued for our patent
applications that we may file in the future or for our patent applications we
have filed to date, third parties may challenge, invalidate or circumvent any
patent issued to us, unauthorized parties could obtain and use information that
5
we regard as proprietary despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights,
rights granted under patents issued to us, if any, may not afford us any
competitive advantage, others may independently develop similar technology and
protection of our intellectual property rights may be limited in certain foreign
countries. We may be required to expend significant resources to monitor and
police our intellectual property rights. Any future infringement or other claims
or prosecutions related to our intellectual property could have a material
adverse effect on our business. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be
time consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management's
attention and resources, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing
agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be
available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We may not be in a position to
properly protect our position or stay ahead of competition in new research and
the protecting of the resulting intellectual property.
Although we believe that our products do not and will not infringe upon the
patents or violate the proprietary rights of others, it is possible such
infringement or violation has occurred or may occur which could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
In the event that products we sell are deemed to infringe upon the patents
or other proprietary rights of third parties, we could be required to modify our
products or obtain a license for the manufacture and/or sale of such products
and services. In such event, we cannot assure you that we would be able to do so
in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all, and the
failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect upon our
business. Moreover, we cannot assure you that we will have the financial or
other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement or
proprietary rights violation action. In addition, if our products or proposed
products are deemed to infringe or likely to infringe upon the patents or
proprietary rights of others, we could be subject to injunctive relief and,
under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which could also have an
adverse effect on our business.
We have not yet commenced full scale production of our biodegradable plastic
products and it is possible that some of these products may not perform as well
as other biodegradable or conventional plastics.
Individual products produced with TDPA may not perform as well as other
biodegradable or conventional plastic disposables. We are still developing many
of our plastic products and we have not yet evaluated the performance of all of
them. If our plastic products made with TDPA fail to perform comparably to
conventional plastic products or biodegradable plastic products derived from
other substances, this could cause consumers to prefer alternative products.
We may not be able to timely fill orders for our products.
In order for us to successfully market our products, we must be able to
timely fill orders for our product line. Our ability to timely meet our supply
requirements will depend on numerous factors including our ability to
successfully maintain an effective distribution network and to maintain adequate
inventories and our ability of the Company's sole supplier to adequately produce
the Company's products in volumes sufficient to meet demand. Failure of the
Company to adequately supply its products to retailers or of the Company's
supplier to adequately produce products to meet demand could materially
adversely impact the operations of the Company.
Unavailability of raw materials used to manufacture our products, increases in
the price of the raw materials, or the necessity of finding alternative raw
materials to use in our products could delay the introduction and market
acceptance of our products.
Our failure to procure adequate supplies of raw materials could delay the
commercial introduction or shipment and hinder market acceptance of our
biodegradable plastic products. For example, we are dependent upon EPI's ability
to maintain readily available supplies of TDPA in commercial quantities. If the
supply of TDPA is disrupted, we may need to seek alternative sources of raw
materials or modify our product formulations if the cost or availability of TDPA
becomes prohibitive.
6
If the Company's supply chain is disrupted, our financial condition and results
of operations could be materially adversely affected.
We rely on Spectrum for the manufacturing and distributions of our
products. The interruption of supply, or a significant increase in the cost of
manufacturing for any reason, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operation. We could be materially
and adversely affected should any of Spectrum Plastic's facilities be seriously
damaged as a result of a fire, natural disaster or otherwise. Further, we could
be materially and adversely affected should Spectrum be subject to adverse
market, business or financial conditions.
We may not be able to successfully compete in the environmentally-friendly
plastic products market.
The market for environmentally-friendly plastic products is recent and a
rapidly growing segment of the United States economy. Numerous companies similar
to us have entered the biodegradable market in the last few years in
anticipation of the perceived opportunities surrounding environmentally safe
products and as a result the markets for the Company's products are highly
competitive. A significant factor in the ability of the Company's consumer
products to compete successfully in the market will be its ability to secure and
maintain shelf space with major national retail chains. There is no assurance
that the Company's business plan to acquire and maintain such shelf space can be
successfully implemented. The consumer product industry is highly competitive
and the Company will compete with established manufacturers and distributors,
many of which will have significantly greater operating history, name
recognition and resources than the Company. Other companies and vendors may also
enter into competition with the Company as a result of the Company's increased
marketing efforts as expected after this Offering is successfully completed. The
lack of financial strength of the Company may be a negative factor for the
Company's ability to penetrate the home center market even if the Company's
products are superior.
We are dependent on third parties to transport our products, so their failure to
transport our products could adversely affect our earnings, sales and geographic
market.
We will use third parties for the vast majority of our shipping and
transportation needs. If these parties fail to deliver our products in a timely
fashion, including due to lack of available trucks or drivers, labor stoppages
or if there is an increase in transportation costs, including due to increased
fuel costs, it would have a material adverse effect on our earnings and could
reduce our sales and geographic market.
Purchasers of our products may assert product liability claims against us, which
may materially and adversely affect our financial condition.
Actual or claimed defects in our products could give rise to product
liability claims against us. We might be sued because of injury or death,
property damage, loss of production or suspension of operations resulting from
actual or claimed defects in our products. Regardless of whether we are
ultimately determined to be liable, we might incur significant legal expenses
not covered by insurance. In addition, products liability litigation could
damage our reputation and impair our ability to market our products. Litigation
could also impair our ability to retain products liability insurance or make our
insurance more expensive. We currently carry product liability insurance with a
liability limit of $2,000,000. Spectrum carries general commercial liability and
umbrella liability insurance that covers the products it manufactures with a
liability limit of $6,000,000. We could incur product liability claims in excess
of this insurance coverage or that are subject to substantial deductibles, or we
may incur uninsured product liability costs. If we are subject to an uninsured
or inadequately insured products liability claim based on our products, our
business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely
affected.
Environmental, health and safety laws regulating the operation of our business
could increase the costs of producing our products and expose us to
environmental claims.
Our business is subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations
concerning environmental, health and safety matters, including those relating to
air emissions, wastewater discharges and the generation, handling, storage,
transportation, treatment and disposal of refuse and hazardous materials.
Violations of such laws and regulations could lead to substantial fines and
penalties. Also, there are risks of substantial costs and liabilities relating
to the investigation and remediation of past or present contamination at
third-party disposal sites, regardless of fault or the legality of the original
7
activities that led to such contamination. Moreover, future developments, such
as changes in laws and regulations, more stringent enforcement or interpretation
of laws and regulations, and claims for property damage or personal injury would
cause us to incur substantial losses or expenditures. Although we believe we are
in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, such laws,
regulations, enforcement proceedings or private claims might have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Additionally, we do not maintain insurance against environmental risks. As a
result, any claims against us may result in liabilities and costs which we
cannot afford, resulting in the failure of our business.
Our Company may become subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration as well as other governmental agencies.
The manufacture, sale and use of biodegradable plastic products may be
subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") as
well as other federal and state agencies. The FDA's regulations are concerned
with substances used in food packaging materials, not with specific finished
food packaging products. Thus, food and beverage containers are in compliance
with FDA regulations if the components used in the food and beverage containers:
(i) are approved by the FDA as indirect food additives for their intended uses
and comply with the applicable FDA indirect food additive regulations; or (ii)
are generally recognized as safe for their intended uses and are of suitable
purity for those intended uses. We may develop additional products, including
food packaging products. The FDA may find that our biodegradable food packaging
products are not in compliance with all requirements of the FDA and require
additional FDA approval. In addition, other federal and state agencies may
impose additional regulatory requirements on our products and business, all of
which could have a material adverse affect on our business operations.
Our Company is subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission with
respect to our environmental marketing claims.
The Company advertises its products as biodegradable and must conform with
the Federal Trade Commission's Guides for the use of Environmental Marketing
Claims (the "Guides"). In the event Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") determined
that our products are not in compliance with the Guides and applicable State law
regulations, the FTC may bring enforcement actions against on the basis that our
marketing claims are false or misleading. Such action could have a material
adverse affect on our business operations.
The Company is controlled by existing shareholders.
The Company's officers, directors and principal shareholders and their
affiliates own or control a majority of the Company's outstanding common stock.
As a result, these shareholders, if acting together, would be able to
effectively control matters requiring approval by the shareholders of the
Company, including the election of the Company's Board of Directors.
We may not meet our deadlines for registration and effectiveness of a "resale"
registration in connection with the Offering.
Pursuant to terms of the Registration Rights Agreement we entered into in
connection with the offering of the Notes and Pipe Warrants to purchase common
stock, we have agreed to file a "resale" registration statement with the SEC
covering the shares of our common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants within
60 days of the closing of the Share Exchange. We agreed to use our best efforts
to ensure that such registration statement is declared effective within 120 days
of filing. There can be no assurance we will meet the deadline for effectiveness
of the "resale" registration statement. In the event we fail to file the
registration statement or go effective within the requisite number of days, we
are subject to substantial penalties.
Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors.
Our certificate of incorporation limits the personal liability of the
director of our Company for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, subject to certain exceptions, to the fullest extent allowed by
Delaware law. Accordingly, except in limited circumstances, our directors will
not be liable to us or our stockholders for breach of their duties.
8
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware corporate
law have anti-takeover effects.
Some provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could delay
or prevent a change in control of our Company, even if that change might be
beneficial to our stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws
contain provisions that might make acquiring control of us difficult, including
provisions limiting rights to call special meetings of stockholders and
regulating the ability of our shareholders to nominate directors for election at
annual meetings of our stockholders. In addition, our board of directors has the
authority, without further approval of our stockholders, to issue common stock
having such rights, preferences and privileges as the board of directors may
determine. Any such issuance of common stock could, under some circumstances,
have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company and
might adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock.
In addition, we are subject to Delaware statutes regulating business
combinations, takeovers and control share acquisitions, which might also hinder
or delay a change in control of the Company. Anti-takeover provisions in our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws, anti-takeover provisions that could be
included in the common stock when issued and the Delaware statutes regulating
business combinations, takeovers and control share acquisitions can depress the
market price of our securities and can limit the stockholders' ability to
receive a premium on their shares by discouraging takeover and tender offer
bids, even if such events could be viewed as beneficial by our stockholders.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Upon consummation of the Share Exchange, we became subject to the liabilities of
Perf, both known and unknown.
Upon consummation of the Share Exchange, we became subject to all
liabilities, claims and obligations of Perf-Go Green, both known and unknown. It
is possible Perf-Go Green is subject to certain liabilities, claims and
obligations unknown to us. If we are subject to any such liabilities or
obligations, our business, financial condition and results of operations could
be materially and adversely affected.
Our management team does not have extensive experience in public company
matters, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory
requirements.
We became a public company and subject to the applicable reporting
requirements under the securities laws upon consummation of the Share Exchange.
Our management team has had very limited public company management experience or
responsibilities. This could impair our ability to comply with legal and
regulatory requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable
federal securities laws including filing required reports and other information
required on a timely basis. There can be no assurance that our management will
be able to implement and affect programs and policies in an effective and timely
manner that adequately respond to increased legal, regulatory compliance and
reporting requirements imposed by such laws and regulations. Our failure to
comply with such laws and regulations could lead to the imposition of fines and
penalties and further result in the deterioration of our business.
Our internal financial reporting procedures are still being developed and we
will need to allocate significant resources to meet applicable internal
financial reporting standards.
As a public company we will be required to adopt disclosure controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we
file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We are
taking steps to develop and adopt appropriate disclosure controls and
procedures.
These efforts require significant time and resources. If we are unable to
establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, our
reported financial information may be inaccurate and we will encounter
difficulties in the audit or review of our financial statements by our
independent auditors, which in turn may have material adverse effects on our
ability to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and to comply with our SEC reporting obligations.
9
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with
Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 could prevent us from producing
reliable financial reports or identifying fraud. In addition, current and
potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which
could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
We became subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 upon
consummation of the Share Exchange. Effective internal controls are necessary
for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud, and
a lack of effective controls could preclude us from accomplishing these critical
functions. Commencing with our fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, we will be
required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to
satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in
connection with, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") Auditing
Standard No. 5 ("AS 5") which requires annual management assessments of the
effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by
our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments.
Although we intend to augment our internal controls procedures and expand our
accounting staff, there is no guarantee that this effort will be adequate.
During the course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies which we
may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404 and AS5.
In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal accounting
controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to
time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that
we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with
Section 404. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal controls
could cause us to face regulatory action and also cause investors to lose
confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could have an
adverse effect on our stock price.
There are additional requirements and costs associated with becoming a public
company which may prove to be burdensome, especially for a smaller public
company.
As a result of the Share Exchange, we became subject to the information
and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws, including the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The U.S. securities laws require, among other things,
review, audit and public reporting of our financial results, business
activities, adequacy of controls and other matters. We cannot assure you that we
will be able to comply with all of these requirements. Our cost of preparing and
filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with
the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause our expenses
to be higher than they would be if it had remained privately-held and the Share
Exchange had not been consummated. In addition, we will incur substantial
expenses in connection with the preparation of the registration statement and
related documents with respect to the registration of the securities issued in
the Offering. These increased costs may be material and may include the hiring
of additional employees and/or the retention of additional consultants and
professionals. Our failure to comply with U.S. securities laws could result in
private or governmental legal action against us and/or our officers and
directors, which could have a detrimental effect on our business and finances,
the value of our securities and the ability of our stockholders to resell their
securities.
We became public through the Share Exchange and we may not be able to attract
the attention of major brokerage firms.
Additional risks are associated with our Company becoming public through
the Share Exchange. For example, security analysts of major brokerage firms may
not provide coverage of us since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to
recommend the purchase of our common stock. In addition, even if we should so
desire, we cannot assure you that brokerage firms will want to conduct any
public offerings on our behalf in the future.
Affiliates of our Placement Agent are also shareholders of the Company, and
consequently, may have interests which differ from those of our Company.
Two affiliates of the Placement Agent are stockholders of the Company.
These affiliates may possess several conflicts of interest, including but not
limited to, having investment objectives which differ from those of investors in
the Offering, holding periods or rights that differ from investors, potentially
different returns from investors in the Offering, among several other factors.
Investors should carefully evaluate these and other potential conflicts of
interest prior to determining whether to invest in the Company.
10
There will be a limited trading market for our common stock.
It is anticipated that there will be a limited trading market for the
Company's common stock on the OTC-BB. The lack of an active market may impair
your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price
that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the
fair market value of our common stock. An inactive market may also impair our
ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our
ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using common stock as
consideration.
You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.
The Company's common stock may not be actively traded, and the bid and
asked prices for our common stock on the OTC-BB may fluctuate widely. As a
result, investors may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate
quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity
of the common stock, and would likely reduce the market price of our common
stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital.
The market price of our common stock may, and is likely to continue to be,
highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.
The market price of the Company's common stock is likely to be highly
volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of
factors that are beyond our control, including:
o dilution caused by our issuance of additional shares of common stock and
other forms of equity securities in connection with future capital
financings to fund our operations and growth, to attract and retain
valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships
with other companies;
o announcements of new acquisitions or other business initiatives by our
competitors;
o our ability to take advantage of new acquisitions or other business
initiatives;
o fluctuations in revenue from our biodegradable plastics products;
o changes in the market for biodegradable plastics products and/or in the
capital markets generally;
o changes in the demand for biodegradable plastics products, including
changes resulting from the introduction or expansion of new biodegradable
products;
o quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;
o changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies, both in our
industry and in other industries;
o changes in analysts' estimates affecting our Company, our competitors
and/or our industry;
o changes in the accounting methods used in or otherwise affecting our
industry;
o additions and departures of key personnel;
o announcements of technological innovations or new products available to
the our industry;
o announcements by relevant governments pertaining to incentives for
biodegradable product development programs;
o fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of capital in the
capital markets; and
11
o significant sales of our common stock, including sales by the investors
following registration of the shares of common stock issued in the
Offering and/or future investors in future offerings we expect to make to
raise additional capital.
These and other factors are largely beyond our control, and the impact of
these risks, singly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes
to the market price of our common stock and/or our results of operations and
financial condition.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, and these fluctuations may
cause our stock price to decline.
Our operating results will likely vary in the future primarily as the
result of fluctuations in our revenues and operating expenses, expenses that we
incur, and other factors. If our results of operations do not meet the
expectations of current or potential investors, the price of our common stock
may decline.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we
anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and
growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless
they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their
shares on favorable terms or at all. Investors cannot be assured of a positive
return on investment or that they will not lose the entire amount of their
investment in the common stock.
Investors will experience dilution upon the exercise of options.
We have adopted an equity incentive plan pursuant to which we, in the
discretion of our Board of Directors, will be able to issue shares of restricted
stock and options, which if exercised, could decrease the net tangible book
value of your common stock, in the aggregate of 10,000,000 shares.
We have issued a substantial number of securities convertible into shares of our
common stock which will result in substantial dilution to the ownership
interests of our existing stockholder.
In connection with the Offering, at June 30, 2008, approximately 31,343,999
million shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance, which equals 130%
of the maximum shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion
(before adjustment as permitted) of the following securities: (i) 13,992,333
million shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, and
payment of interest thereron and (ii) 17,350,666 million shares of common stock
issuable (before adjustment as permitted) upon exercise in full of the Warrants
issued to the holders of the Notes, certain other investors and the placement
agent (without regard to any limitations on exercise). The exercise or
conversion of these securities will result in a significant increase in the
number of outstanding shares and substantially dilute the ownership interests of
our existing shareholders.
The conversion ratio of the Notes and the exercise price of the Warrants may be
substantially below the market price of our stock at the time of exercise.
The Notes are currently convertible into our common stock at a fixed ratio of
$0.75 per share. The Pipe Warrants and 2007 Warrants issued are exercisable at a
fixed exercise price of $1.00 per share. Subject to certain exceptions, these
conversion ratios and exercise prices are subject to downward adjustment in the
event we issue additional shares of common stock at prices below the
then-current conversion ratio or exercise price. Conversion of the notes or
exercise of the warrants is only likely to occur at such time as the conversion
ratio or exercise price, as the case may be, is lower than the current market
price for our common stock. Issuance of common stock at a price below our
current market price would have a dilutive effect on current stockholders and
could potentially have a negative impact on our stock price.
12
Directors and officers of the Company have a high concentration of common stock
ownership.
Based on the 32,279,470 shares of common stock outstanding, our officers
and directors own approximately 16,844,681 shares, or 52.2% of our outstanding
common stock. This number does not include 7,660,000 shares issuable upon the
exercise of options (both vested and unvested). Such a high level of ownership
by such persons may have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or
preventing any potential change in control of the Company. Additionally, as a
result of their high level of ownership, our officers and directors might be
able to strongly influence the actions of the Company's board of directors and
the outcome of actions brought to our shareholders for approval. Such a high
level of ownership may adversely affect the voting and other rights of our
shareholders.
Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of "penny stocks" limit the trading
and liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our
common stock.
Shares of common stock may be considered a "penny stock" and be subject to
SEC rules and regulations which impose limitations upon the manner in which such
shares may be publicly traded and regulate broker-dealer practices in connection
with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity
securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on
certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the FINRA's automated
quotation system, provided that current price and volume information with
respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or
system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction
in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized
risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the
risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the
customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the
compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in
the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require
that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special
written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the
purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of
trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the
penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty investors may experience in
attempting to liquidate such securities.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from sales of shares of commons tock by
the Selling Stockholders. We will receive proceeds from the exercise, if any, of
the Warrants. We intend to use the proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants,
if any, for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We will have
broad discretion as to the use of these proceeds.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The selling stockholders will determine the price at which they may sell our
common stock covered by this prospectus, and such sales may be made at
prevailing market prices, or at privately negotiated prices.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
This prospectus covers shares of our common stock, including shares of our
common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants sold in the Offering, shares of
our common stock underlying the 2007 Warrants, shares of the Company's Common
Stock currently issued to certain Selling Stockholders who purchased the Bridge
Shares and Bridge Warrants. The Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer
and sell under this prospectus any or all of the shares of our common stock
listed opposite each of their names below. We are registering for resale the

by the Selling Stockholders. Except as set forth below, the Selling Stockholders
13
do not, or within the past three years have not had, any position, office or
other material relationship with us. Certain Selling Stockholders may be deemed
"underwriters" as defined in the Securities Act. Any profits realized by the
Selling Stockholders may be deemed underwriting commissions. Following the
offering, and assuming all of the Shares offered by the Selling Stockholders
have been sold, the Selling Stockholders will not beneficially own any of our
Common Stock, except as noted below. The term "Selling Stockholder" includes the
person listed below and their respective transferees, pledgees, donees, or other
successors.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the holders
of certain Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrants to purchase common stock.
As a result, the Company has an obligation to prepare and file with the SEC
within 60 calendar days of the date of the agreement a registration statement to
register the common stock underlying the Notes and the Warrants. The Company
also agreed to reimburse investors holding $2,000,000 or more in Notes for
certain expenses incurred in connection with their review of such registration
statements. In the event the Company fails to meet such filing deadlines, the
Company shall pay each holder as liquidated damages 1.25% of the aggregate
purchase price paid by such holder and shall pay each holder such amount on a
monthly basis until such failure is cured. In no event shall such liquidated
damages exceed 15% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by the investor.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each Selling Stockholder of Shares and any of their pledgees, assignees
and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their
Shares on the OTC-BB or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which the Shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at
fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling Shares:
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell
the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of
the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account;
o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
applicable exchange;
o privately negotiated transactions;
o settlement of short sales entered into after the effective
date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is
a part;
o broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell
a specified number of such Shares at a stipulated price per
Share;
o through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging
transactions, whether through an options exchange or
otherwise;
o a combination of any such methods of sale; or
o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The Selling Stockholders may also sell Shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of Shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the
case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission
in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a
markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
15
In connection with the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein, the
Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or
other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the
Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling
Stockholders may also sell Shares of the Common Stock short and deliver these
securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common
Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling
Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more
derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other
financial institution of Shares offered by this prospectus, which Shares such
broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this
prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has
informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common
Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups
which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident
to the registration of the Shares. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling
Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition,
any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under
this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in
connection with the proposed sale of the resale Shares by the Selling
Stockholders.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the
date on which the Shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without
registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule
144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all
of the Shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale Shares will be
sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under
applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale
Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in
the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification
requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in the distribution of the resale Shares may not simultaneously engage
in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable
restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the
distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and
sales of Shares of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other
person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling
Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this
prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by
compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
DIVIDEND POLICY
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends if, and when
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. We
have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We intend to
retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our
business. Consequently, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our
common stock to our stockholders for the foreseeable future.

Overview
Background and History; Share Exchange
Perf-Go Green Holdings, Inc., formerly known as ESYS Holdings, Inc. and La
Solucion, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in April 2005. Its
business was originally intended to provide assistance to the non-English
speaking Hispanic population in building and maintaining a life in North
Carolina but it did not establish operations in connection with its business
plan.
On May 13, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Share
Exchange") with Perf-Go Green, Inc. ("Perf-Go Green"), a privately-owned
Delaware corporation and its stockholders pursuant to which the Company acquired
all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Perf-Go Green. Perf-Go Green
was originally incorporated as a limited liability company on November 15, 2007
and converted to a "C" corporation on January 7, 2008. As consideration for the
Share Exchange, the Company issued an aggregate of 21,079,466 shares of common
stock, $0.0001 par value (the "Common Stock") to the Perf-Go Green stockholders
resulting in a change in control of the Company with Perf-Go Green stockholders
owning approximately 65% out of a total of 32,279,470 of the Company's
outstanding common stock at the date of the Share Exchange. In addition, the
directors and officers of Perf-Go Green were elected as directors and officers
of the Company. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company has succeeded to
the business of Perf-Go Green as its sole business.
The accounting for the Share Exchange, commonly called a reverse acquisition,
calls for Perf-Go Green, to be treated as the accounting acquirer. The acquired
assets and assumed liabilities of the Company were carried forward at their
historical values, which approximated fair value. Perf-Go Green's historical
financial statements, after the restatement discussed in Note 11 to the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, are carried forward as
those of the combined entity. The common stock and per share amounts have been
retroactively restated the earliest period presented to reflect the Share
Exchange.

Business, Products and Plans
The Company is focused on the development and global marketing of eco-friendly,
non-toxic, food contact compliant, biodegradable plastic products. Our
biodegradable plastic products offer a practical and viable solution for
reducing plastic waste from the environment. The Company believes that its
plastic products will break down in landfill environments within twelve (12) to
twenty four (24) months, leaving no visible or toxic residue. Based solely on
environmental claims made by the Company that manufactures a oxo-biodegradable
plastic additive that speeds up the break down of our plastic products, we
believe our plastic products will break down in landfill environments within
twelve (12) to twenty four (24) months, leaving no visible or toxic residue. All
of the Company's products incorporate recycled plastic. The Company's products
make important strides towards the reduction of plastic from the environment.
We have partnered with Spectrum Bags, Incorporated, a division of IPS
Industries, Inc. ("Spectrum"), a mid-sized manufacturer and distributor of
plastic bags and plastic products to manufacture and distribute our plastic
products. The Company's President, Ben Tran, is a director of our Company and
shares in one of the patents on our handle tie-bags. Our products use an
oxo-biodegradable plastic additive licensed to Spectrum by a supplier to speed
biodegradation and we believe, based on that supplier's environmental claims
that our plastic products, when discarded in soil in the presence of
microorganisms, moisture and oxygen, will biodegrade, decomposing into simple
materials found in nature and will be 100% degradable. We believe this
degradable plastic additive technology will be suitable in the creation of many
mainstream consumer products.
During 2008, we intend to launch and market six (6) prominent plastic product
categories including: thirteen gallon, tall kitchen garbage bags; thirty gallon
garage, lawn and leaf garbage bags; commercial garbage bags (various sizes for
office buildings and for municipalities, parks and beaches); kitty litter liner
bags (three sizes); Doggie Duty(TM)Bags; and 10 foot by 20 foot plastic drop
cloths. We anticipate the sale and distribution of our initial product offering,
the thirteen-gallon tall kitchen trash bags, will begin in the third quarter of
calendar 2008. The Company has secured placement and premier featuring and
exposure with "brand-making" retailers such as Amazon.com and Drugstore.com,
Bashes Family of Stores and Walgreens drug stores. In addition, we are in
contact and in negotiations with a number of other named brand retailers.
We are implementing a major business to business/business to government strategy
for our commercial line of trash bags and retail check out bags. SOHO
Partnership in New York City, CEDA in Cooks County and the Parks Department of
Stamford, Connecticut are recently added customers.
We intend to deliver brand building messages through several marketing and
advertising vehicles, including television, radio, national print, online
marketing and search engine optimization, and retail store promotions. Our
products were showcased at the Chicago International Housewares Show held March
16th through March 18th. 22,000 buyers from around the world attended this
event. Our product received national attention by television networks and other
media outlets as a "Hot New Household Product." Our product was awarded as a
Design Defined Honoree for 2008 at the show. Additionally, we signed thirteen
representative firms that give will us reach to major national retailers in the
U.S. and Canada.
The Company's activities have included capital raising to support its business
plan, recruiting board and management personnel, establishing sources of supply
and customer relationships.
The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting By
Development Stage Enterprises," and is subject to the risks associated with
activities of development stage companies. While we have raised a significant
amount of financing in connection with the Share Exchange, our operations are
unproven and therefore it is not certain that we will have sufficient cash to
continue our activities for the coming twelve months. We currently do not have
any commitments for new funding.
18
Recent Financings
The Company completed the following financings during the period from November
15, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2008:
Equity Financing - In December 2007, Perf-Go Green Holdings, Inc. raised
$2,100,000 in proceeds in the private placement of 2,100,000 common shares and
warrants to purchase 4,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock as described
in Note 7 to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In June
2008, the warrants were reissued to conform to the same terms as the Warrants in
the Convertible Debenture and Warrants financing described below and in Note 6
to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Bridge Notes and Warrants - In January and February 2008, Perf-Go Green, Inc.
raised an aggregate $750,000 proceeds through the sale of secured convertible
notes ("Bridge Notes") together with warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of
the Company's common stock. The Bridge Notes, together with approximately
$11,000 of accrued interest, were converted into 1,579,466 shares of the
Company's common stock in March 2008 as further described further in Note 7 to
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Convertible Debentures and Warrants - In connection with the Share Exchange, on
May 13, 2008 and June 10, 2008, the Company raised an aggregate $5,950,000
proceeds a private placement of its senior secured convertible debentures in the
principal amount of $5,950,000 and warrants to purchase 7,933,333 shares
(subject to adjustment) of the Company's common stock as described further in
Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Because of the features of the Convertible Debentures and Warrants and the
warrants that were re-issued in May 2008 to the December 2007 equity investors,
together with certain placement agent warrants all as discussed in Notes 6 and 7
to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, these instruments
are considered derivative liabilities and are marked-to-market each reporting
period.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources -
As indicated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements, at June 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $5,280,000 in cash
and approximately $24,256,000 in negative working capital and a stockholders'
deficit of approximately $22,357,000. A significant portion of the Company's
liabilities are derivative liabilities which are further described in Note 6.
The Company would be unable to satisfy the cash settlement liability associated
with its derivative liabilities.
For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company had a loss from operations
of approximately $10,815,000 and a net loss of approximately $32,851,000 and
utilized approximately $2,094,000 of cash in operating activities. Further,
development stage losses are continuing subsequent to June 30, 2008. We
anticipate that we will continue to generate significant losses from operations
for the near future. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern.
The Company's plan to deal with this uncertainty is to commence revenue activity
in the second half of calendar 2008. The Company's cash flow projections
indicate that projected revenues will be sufficient to fund operations over the
coming twelve months. However, as a development stage enterprise, the Company's
ability to accurately project revenues and expenses can be significantly
impacted by unforeseen events, developments and contingencies that cannot be
anticipated. As such, there can be no assurance that management's plans to
generate revenue in order to sustain our operations over the coming twelve
months can be realized. No adjustment has been made in the accompanying
financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities
which could result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures.
Results of Operations -
For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and for the period from November 15,
2007 (inception) to June 30, 2008
19
We began operations on November 15, 2007 and are a development stage company.
Our activities during the development stage have included primarily capital
raising (resulting in the debt and equity-based financing described in Recent
Financings above), development and marketing of our biodegradable plastic
products, development of mass market product distribution networks for the
intended distribution of the products, recruiting personnel and beginning the
development of an infrastructure to support the planned business. As the Company
is devoting its efforts to product development, marketing and distribution,
there has been no revenue generated from sales as of the date of this report.
Our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and for the
period from November 15, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2008 are as follows:
November 15,

Other expense 22,037,000 22,835,000
-----------------------------
Net loss $32,851,000 $34,276,000
-----------------------------
|
Revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and for the period from
November 15, 2007 to June 30, 2008 consist of initial sales at Amazon.com and
sales to a municipality. The Company expects to commence more substantial
revenue activity in approximately September 2008 as product that has been
ordered becomes available to ship to our initial customers including retailers
Walgreens and Bashas' as well as internet retailers Amazon.com and
Drugstore.com.
Loss from operations is driven by general and administrative costs of
approximately $10,814,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and
$11,441,000 for the period from November 15, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2008.
Included in general and administrative costs for the both the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and for the period from November 15, 2007 (inception) to June 30,
2008 are non-cash charges for stock compensation aggregating approximately
$9,032,000 including stock compensation for directors (approximately
$4,100,000), employees (approximately $2,203,000) and consultants, primarily an
investor relations consultant, (approximately $2,729,000). The large amount of
stock compensation results from the number of options and shares granted as well
as the fact that options to purchase approximately 2,843,600 shares contain
immediate vesting provisions and therefore are expensed in full at inception
(approximately $6,180,000). However, we have an ongoing cost for stock
compensation relative to (a) the vesting of options and warrants already granted
to purchase approximately 4,250,000 shares, (b) our commitment to make monthly
share grants to certain employees and consultants and (c) the vesting of options
and warrants for any new grants. The cost of the ongoing vesting of options
already granted is expected to be approximately $2,200,000 per quarter. The cost
of our commitment to make monthly share grants will be variable based upon the
share price at the end of each month of service and therefore is not known at
this time.
The remaining operating expenses, approximately $1,783,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 and approximately $ 2,409,000 for the period from November
15, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2008, include the following:

Derivatives - As discussed further in Notes 6 and 7 to the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements, the Company issued Convertible Debentures and
Warrants which contain features that have variability in the conversion or
exercise price and, with respect to the Warrants, contain a settlement in cash
feature if sufficient registered shares cannot be delivered upon exercise of the
Warrant. As such, these instruments are accounted for as Derivative liabilities.
In addition, warrants issued to a placement agent, and warrants that were issue
to replace warrants issued to investors in the December 2007 equity financings,
have the same features and are also accounted for as derivative liabilities.
Derivative liability expense for beneficial conversion feature of convertible
debt, warrants and other warrants of approximately $26,310,000 results from the
fair value of these derivative instruments, less the amount allocated to the
related convertible debt as debt discount ($5,950,000), at inception. The
Company computed the fair value of its derivative instruments at inception by
using a Black Scholes calculation assuming a risk free rate of return of 2.7 -
3.2%, expected volatility of 93% and expected life of the conversion feature
(three years) and the Warrants (five years) and the quoted market price of the
Company's stock on the day of the measurement. Fair value accounting requires
that these derivative liabilities be marked-to-market at each reporting period
and therefore, since the underlying market price of the stock generally
decreased from inception to June 30, 2008, the Company recorded other income for
the aggregate change in value of these derivative liabilities of approximately
$5,439,000. Each reporting period, a charge or credit will be recorded for the
change in fair value these derivative liabilities.
Registration rights - Under a registration rights agreement, the common stock
underlying the conversion feature of the Convertible Debentures and the Warrants
is required to be registered. The Company can be assessed liquidated damages, as
defined in the related agreements, for the failure to file a registration
statement in a certain timeframe or for the failure to obtain or maintain
effectiveness of such registration statement. Such penalties are generally
limited to approximately $893,000 in the aggregate. Because obtaining
effectiveness of the registration statement is not within the Company's control,
the Company has concluded to record a liability for approximately $893,000
representing the liquidated damages that may be assessed if the Company fails to
satisfy its registration obligations. If the Company's registration statement is
ultimately declared effective, such liability would be reversed in the period
that the determination of effectiveness is resolved.
Interest expense and amortization of debt discount - Interest expense on the
Convertible Debentures accrues at approximately $149,000 per quarter beginning
in May 2008. The amortization of debt discount represents the amortization of
the entire proceeds, $5,950,000 of the Convertible Debentures and Warrants,
which was allocated to debt discount, over the three year life of the
Convertible Debentures at the rate of approximately $496,000 per quarter
beginning in May 2008.
21
Interest income - Consists of interest earned on bank deposits and deposits in
an institutional money market fund with a broker-dealer.
For the period from November 15, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2007
Revenues
We are a start-up company and have not generated or realized any revenues from
our business operations for the period from inception through March 31, 2008. We
have incurred a net loss of $755,715.
Operating Expenses
For the period November 15, 2007 (date of inception) through March 31, 2008, our
total operating expenses were $627,025. The total operating expenses consists of
those of a development stage company, including debt and equity-based financing,
product design costs, marketing and distribution costs. Our greatest costs for
the period reported are packaging and design expenses, which totaled $150,019.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no material off balance sheet arrangements that are likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
resources or capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Principles -
We have identified critical accounting principles that affect our condenses
consolidated financial statements by considering accounting policies that
involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments as well as
considering newly adopted principals. They are:
Use of Estimates, Going Concern Consideration - The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America requires 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
22
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Among the estimates we have made in
the preparation of the financial statements is an estimate of our projected
revenues, expenses and cash flows in making the disclosures about our liquidity
in this report. As a development stage company, many variables may affect our
estimates of cash flows that could materially alter our view of our liquidity
and capital requirements as our business develops. Our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we are a "going
concern". No adjustment has been made in the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements which could result should we be unable to continue as a
going concern.
Share-Based Payments - We follow SFAS 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" which
establishes standards for share-based transactions in which an entity receives
employee's or consultants services for (a) equity instruments of the entity,
such as stock options or warrants, or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair
value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance
of such equity instruments. SFAS 123(R) requires that we expense the fair value
of stock options and similar awards, as measured on the awards' grant date. SFAS
123(R) applies to all awards granted after the date of adoption, and to awards
modified, repurchased or cancelled after that date.
We estimate the value of stock option awards on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model (the "Black-Scholes model"). The
determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of
grant is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number
of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock
price volatility over the term of the awards, expected term, risk-free interest
rate, expected dividends and expected forfeiture rates.
If factors change and we employ different assumptions in the application of SFAS
123(R) in future periods, the compensation expense that we record under SFAS
123(R) may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current
period. There is a high degree of subjectivity involved when using option
pricing models to estimate share-based compensation under SFAS 123(R).
Consequently, there is a risk that our estimates of the fair values of our
share-based compensation awards on the grant dates may bear little resemblance
to the actual values realized upon the exercise, expiration, early termination
or forfeiture of those share-based payments in the future. Employee stock
options may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value as
compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported
in our financial statements. Alternatively, value may be realized from these
instruments that are significantly in excess of the fair values originally
estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. During the
three months ended June 30, 2008, we do not believe that reasonable changes in
the projections would have had a material effect on share-based compensation
expense.
The guidance in SFAS 123(R) and Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 107 and 110 is relatively new, and best practices are
not well established. There are significant differences among valuation models,
and there is a possibility that we will adopt a different valuation model in the
future. Theoretical valuation models are evolving and may result in lower or
higher fair value estimates for share-based compensation. The timing, readiness,
adoption, general acceptance, reliability and testing of these methods is
uncertain. Sophisticated mathematical models may require voluminous historical
information, modeling expertise, financial analyses, correlation analyses,
integrated software and databases, consulting fees, customization and testing
for adequacy of internal controls. The uncertainties and costs of these
extensive valuation efforts may outweigh the benefits to investors.
Derivative liabilities - SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments
and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In addition,
freestanding derivative instruments such as certain warrants are also derivative
liabilities. We estimate the fair value of these instruments using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account a variety of
factors, including historical stock price volatility, risk-free interest rates,
remaining term and the closing price of our common stock. Changes in the
assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these derivative instruments
could result in a material change in the fair value of the instruments. Although
we believe the assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the warrants are
reasonable, we cannot assure the accuracy of the assumptions or estimates.
Derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value at inception and then are
adjusted to reflect fair value as at each period end, with any increase or
decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an
adjustment to fair value of derivatives.
23
At June 30, 2008, we had four such derivative instruments principally related to
our issuance of Convertible Debentures and Warrants as discussed further in
Notes 6 and 7 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The
Convertible Debentures and Warrants have features which make their conversion or
exercise price variable and the Warrants contain provisions calling for cash
settlement in certain circumstances. Such derivatives had an aggregate fair
value at inception of approximately $32,220,000, after reflecting $5,950,000 as
debt discount. At June 30, 2008, we re-measured the fair value of such
derivative instruments and recorded a reduction of our derivative liabilities of
approximately $7,490,000 bringing the resulting derivative liabilities to
approximately $24,730,000.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard ("SFAS") No. 157, Fair Value Measurement ("SFAS 157"), for its
financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value
at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are
re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In accordance with the
provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date f FASB Statement No. 157, the
Company elected to defer implementation of SFAS 157 as it relates to our
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized and
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis
until April 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, this Standard
will have on our consolidated non-financial assets and liabilities.
SFAS 157 defines fair value, thereby eliminating inconsistencies in guidance
found in various prior accounting pronouncements, and increases disclosures
surrounding fair value calculations. SFAS 157 establishes a three tiered fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair
value calculations. SFAS 157 requires the Company to maximize the use of
observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs in making fair
value judgments.
The Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis include those securities classified as cash and cash equivalents
on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. All securities owned are
valued under the first tier of the hierarchy where the assets are measured using
quoted prices in active markets.
On April 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did
not have any material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No 51" (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent,
changes in a parent's ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and
disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the
noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest while the
parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of
any retained noncontrolling equity investment. The Company's adoption of SFAS
No. 160 on April 1, 2008 did not have a material effect on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No 141R, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS
141R"). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141 and establishes principles and requirements
for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling
interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes
disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. Acquisition costs associated with
the business combination will generally be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141R is
effective for business combinations occurring in the fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, which will require the Company to adopt these
provisions for business combinations occurring in fiscal 2009 and thereafter.
In January 2008, the SEC released SAB No. 110, which amends SAB No. 107 which
provided a simplified approach for estimating the expected term of a "plain
vanilla" option, which is required for application of the Black-Scholes option
pricing model (and other models) for valuing share options. At the time, the
Staff acknowledged that, for companies choosing not to rely on their own
historical option exercise data (i.e., because such data did not provide a
reasonable basis for estimating the term), information about exercise patterns
with respect to plain vanilla options granted by other companies might not be
available in the near term; accordingly, in SAB No. 107, the Staff permitted use
of a simplified approach for estimating the term of plain vanilla options
granted on or before December 31, 2007. The information concerning exercise
behavior that the Staff contemplated would be available by such date has not
materialized for many companies. Thus, in SAB No. 110, the Staff continues to
allow use of the simplified rule for estimating the expected term of plain
vanilla options until such time as the relevant data becomes widely available.
The Company does not expect its adoption of SAB No. 110 to have a material
impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
24
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities--An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133."
("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 establishes the disclosure requirements for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities with the intent to provide financial
statement users with an enhanced understanding of the entity's use of derivative
instruments, the accounting of derivative instruments and related hedged items
under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and the effects of these
instruments on the entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect its
adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles" (SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in
the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU section 411,
The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162, but does
not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or
other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date
and are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon
adoption.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or
other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date

adoption.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Currency Risk
Currently, we have no exposure to foreign currency risk as all our sales
transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in the U.S. dollar.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk is limited to interest earned from our money
market accounts and our interest expense on short-term and long-term borrowings.
Currently, this exposure is not significant. Substantial increases in short-term
and long-term borrowings to fund growth or make investments, combined with
actual changes in interest rates could adversely affect our future results of
operations.
Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure
We dismissed Webb & Company, P.A. ("Webb") as our principal accountant and
we appointed Berman & Company, P.A. ("Berman") as our new independent registered
public accounting firm on May 13, 2008. Webb's report on our financial
statements for fiscal year 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope, or accounting principles, with the exception of a qualification with
respect to uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The
decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by our Board of
Directors.
25
During fiscal year 2007, and the subsequent interim period through May 13,
2008, there were no disagreements with Webb on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Webb,
would have caused them to made reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement(s) in connection with their report, nor were there any reportable
events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-K.
We engaged Berman as our new independent registered public accounting firm
as of May 13, 2008. During fiscal year 2007, and the subsequent interim period
through May 13, 2008, we nor anyone on our behalf engaged Berman regarding
either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction,
either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on our financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject
of a "disagreement" or a "reportable event," both as such terms are defined in
Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
OUR BUSINESS
Our executive office is located at 645 Fifth Avenue, 8th Floor, New York,
New York 10022. Our telephone number is (212) 848-0253. We maintain an Internet
Website at www.perfgogreen.com. Information contained on its Internet Website is
for informational purposes only and is not part of this Registration Statement
on Form S-1.
Perf-Go Green Holdings, Inc., formerly known as ESYS Holdings, Inc. and La
Solucion, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in April 2005. Its
business was originally intended to provide assistance to the non-English
speaking Hispanic population in building and maintaining a life in North
Carolina but it did not establish operations in connection with its business
plan.
On May 13, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with
Perf-Go Green, Inc., ("Perf Go Green") a privately-owned Delaware corporation
and its shareholders pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Perf-Go Green. Perf-Go Green was
originally incorporated as a limited liability company on November 15, 2007 and
converted to a "C" corporation on January 7, 2008. As consideration for the
Share Exchange, the Company issued an aggregate of 21,079,466 shares of common
stock, $0.0001 par value (the "Common Stock") to the Perf-Go Green. shareholders
resulting in a change in control of the Company with Perf-Go Green Shareholders
owning approximately 65% of the Company's common stock. In addition, the
directors and officers of Perf-Go Green were elected as directors and officers
of the Company. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company has succeeded to
the business of Perf-Go Green as its sole business.
Our objective is to create an environmentally friendly "green" company for
the development and global marketing of eco-friendly, non-toxic, food contact
compliant, biodegradable plastic products. We believe our biodegradable plastic
products offer a practical and viable solution for reducing plastic waste from
the world environment. Based solely on environmental claims statements made by
EPI Environmental Technologies, Inc. ("EPI"), the Company that manufactures
TDPA, an oxo-biodegradable plastic additive that speeds up the break down of our
plastic products, we believe our plastic products will break down in landfill
environments within twelve (12) to twenty four (24) months, leaving no visible
or toxic residue. All of our products incorporate recycled plastic. Our products
make important strides towards the reduction of plastic from the environment.
We have partnered with Spectrum, a mid-sized manufacturer and distributor
of plastic bags and plastic products to manufacture and distribute our plastic
products. With its headquarters located in Cerritos, California, Spectrum's
revenues exceed $250,000,000 in the United States. Spectrum's owner and
President, Ben Tran, is one of our directors and shares in one of the patents on
our handle tie-bags.
The manufacturing of our biodegradable plastic products is a multi-step
process. Spectrum starts by using recycled plastic and combines it with TDPA.
Spectrum has been issued a license by EPI to use TDPA. Spectrum utilizes a
proprietary application method to produce the film made with TDPA for our trash
bags. As a result of this process, we believe, based on EPI's environmental
claims relating to TDPA, our plastic products, when discarded in soil in the
presence of microorganisms, moisture and oxygen, will biodegrade, decomposing
into simple materials found in nature and will be degradable. We believe this
degradable plastic additive technology will be suitable in the creation of many
mainstream consumer products.
26
During 2008, we intend to launch and market six (6) prominent plastic
product categories:
o Thirteen gallon, extra tall kitchen garbage bags (launched)
o Thirty gallon garage, lawn and leaf garbage bags
o Commercial garbage bags (various sizes for office buildings and for
municipalities, parks and beaches.)
o Kitty litter liner bags (three sizes)
o 10 foot by 20 foot plastic drop cloths
o Doggie Duty(TM) Bags
The sale and distribution of our initial product offering, the thirteen
gallon extra tall kitchen trash bags, began in the third quarter of 2008. We
believe that we are the first company to mass-market biodegradable trash bags
and other plastic products.
The Market Place and Opportunity
The need to control and shrink plastic waste worldwide presents a
compelling challenge. According to a recycling study conducted by the University
of Oregon, over 16 million tons of plastic waste is generated annually in the
U.S. Only 2.2% of all plastics are currently recycled with the other 97.8%
ending up in landfills. These plastic products can take up to 1000 years to
breakdown. In the U.S., 18 billion disposable diapers end up in landfills each
year. These diapers take about 500 years to breakdown. An estimated 500 billion
to one trillion new plastic bags are used annually; this breaks down to more
than one million plastic bags a minute.
The number of Americans seeking green products stands at approximately 30
million today and that number is increasing. U.S. consumers continue to
demonstrate a growing appetite for natural and organic products, as
manufacturers and retailers expand into new and nontraditional areas and
increase their offerings. Total sales for the natural and organic industry
increased by fifty six (56%) percent between 2002 and 2006. The opportunity
exists to boldly mass market biodegradable plastic products to the consumers
seeking green products.
Todd Woody of the Green Wombat reported, since April 2007, Wal-Mart has
tracked purchases of five eco-oriented products to measure its 180 million
customers' attitudes toward buying green products. The products were compact
fluorescent light bulbs, organic milk, concentrated or reduced-packaging liquid
laundry detergents, extended-life paper products and organic baby food. Wal-Mart
found approximately 18% of its customers are making green purchases at its
stores.
According to the AARP, 40 million baby boomers have gone green. A study by
Accenture done in October 2007 found that two-thirds of consumers would pay a
premium for green products.
A study conducted by BDO Seidman, LLP in October 2007 found that 83% of
the largest retailers, including companies such as Nike, Gap, Sears, Wal-Mart,
Target and IKEA are involved in green practices. The majority of these companies
are pursuing a combination of selling green products and improving operations
and facility efficiencies.
Competitive Landscape
Glad and Hefty have yet to announce or market biodegradable plastic trash
bags. We believe these companies will be our strongest competitors as each are
well-capitalized, have high brand recognition, highly recognizable packaging and
split 75% of the shelf space allotted to plastic products in most retail stores.
According to our research, the only other biodegradable or compostable
trash bags currently marketed, such as Compost-A-Bag, Al-PACK, and BioBag suffer
from low consumer awareness, weak packaging, and overall minimal brand presence
in big box retailers. Seventh Generation trash bags are made from recycled
plastics, with a 55% minimum total recycled content according to its packaging.
Other bags marketed as biodegradable fall short of our goal of using recycled
plastic that is biodegradable, disappearing in landfill in 12-24 months with
extra strength at .9 and 1.0 mil.
27
We believe our packaging speaks to the customer in a smart and meaningful
way. Our packaging is designed to give our products a strong and distinctive
presence on the shelves of our customers.
Marketing and Sales Objectives and Strategies
The Company has secured placement and premier featuring and exposure with
"brand-making" retailers such as Walgreens, Bashes Family of Stores, Amazon.com
and Drugstore.com. We have met with other major big box stores. Yearly growth
and expansion with retailers across the country is expected with the release of
new products and demand for our biodegradable plastic products.
A combination of brand building messages will be delivered through several
marketing and advertising vehicles, including television, radio, national print,
online marketing and search engine optimization, and retail store promotions.
Our products were showcased at the Chicago International Housewares Show held
March 16th through March 18th. 22,000 buyers from around the world attended this
event. Our product received national attention by television networks and other
media outlets as a "Hot New Household Product." Our product was awarded as a
Design Defined Honoree for 2008 at the show. Additionally, we signed six
representative firms that give will us reach to major national retailers in the
U.S. and Canada.
Green 21.0 Foundation
We have established the Go Green 21.0 Foundation that brings another level
of awareness to our products. Go Green 21.0 will foster and promote green
initiatives around the world with the help of schools, communities and
individuals wanting to make a difference. We will capitalize and fund Go Green
21.0 with a percentage of our profits and shares of our common stock while
seeking sponsorships with like-minded brands, associations and institutions. Our
first green initiative will be rolled out in schools across the country. Go
Green 21.0 will sponsor of an initiative to gather plastics for recycling while
gaining monetary benefits to participating schools.
Patents and Trademarks
We presently hold a registered patent in the United States on the unique
dispensing system utilized for our trash container liners. The dispensing system
includes a ridge box containing a supply of liners in the form of a cylindrical
roll of a continuous strip of liners. The liners extend through an open slot in
the top of the box and the inner most liner of the roll is securely attached to
a cylindrical spindle on which the liners are wound. The dispenser also includes
a reinforcing insert in the form of a piece of sheet rock in a U-shape partially
surrounding the role of liners. The box is detachably secured to the bottom of
the trash container and the spindle is dimensioned so as not to pass through the
slot. Accordingly, when the last line in the box is used and removed from the
container, the box is removed as well. We also own (together with Ben Tran a
principal of Spectrum and a Director of our Company) a patent application which
is currently pending in the United States Patent and Trademark Office which
covers a roll of plastic bags having integral handles and which can also be used
to close each bag.
Both the patent and patent application are owned by the Company by
assignment from Tracey Productions, LLC of which our Chief Executive Officer,
Anthony Tracy, is a principal. In addition, we are the exclusive licensee, for
biodegradable plastic bags of the trademark "PERF". The trademark PERF is owned
by Tracey Productions, LLC. In addition, we presently have several trademark
applications pending in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Below is
a chart summarizing our pending trademark applications.

Government Regulation
We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local government
regulations. Our business is subject to local, state and federal laws and
regulations concerning environmental, health and safety matters, including those
relating to air emissions, wastewater discharges and the generation, handling,
storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous materials. We
believe we are in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations. In addition, the manufacture, sale and use of biodegradable plastic
products are subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the
"FDA") as well as other federal and state agencies. The FDA's regulations are
concerned with substances used in food packaging materials, not with specific
finished food packaging products. Thus, food and beverage containers are in
compliance with FDA regulations if the components used in the food and beverage
containers: (i) are approved by the FDA as indirect food additives for their
intended uses and comply with the applicable FDA indirect food additive
regulations; or (ii) are generally recognized as safe for their intended uses
and are of suitable purity for those intended uses. We may develop additional
products, including food packaging products. Additionally, we advertise our
products as biodegradable and must conform with the Federal Trade Commission's
Guides for the use of Environmental Marketing Claims.
29
Employees
As of August 1, 2008, we had eleven employees. None of our employees are
represented by a labor union, and we consider our employee relations to be
excellent.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal
proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation
is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other
matters may arise from time to time that may harm its business. On April 11,
2008, David Conklin, a shareholder of the Company, asserted a claim against
Anthony Tracy, our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive
Officer, alleging that, based on Mr. Conklin's prior contributions to other
companies operated by Anthony Tracy as well as prior agreements between Mr.
Conklin and Mr. Tracy, Mr. Conklin was entitled to be issued a ten (10%) percent
interest in the Company. This dispute was resolved on July 8, 2008. In
accordance with the terms of the Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement dated
July 8, 2008 by and among Mr. Tracy, Mr. Conklin and the Company, Mr. Conklin
was issued 888,830 shares of common stock of the Company. Such shares were taken
from Mr. Tracy's interest in the Company and no additional shares were issued by
the Company.
Description of Property

PERF-GO GREEN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND, CHANGE OF CONTROL AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Perf-Go Green Holdings, Inc., formerly known as ESYS Holdings, Inc. and La
Solucion, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in April 2005. Its
business was originally intended to provide assistance to the non-English
speaking Hispanic population in building and maintaining a life in North
Carolina but it did not establish operations in connection with its business
plan.
On May 13, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Share
Exchange") with Perf-Go Green, Inc. ("Perf-Go Green"), a privately-owned
Delaware corporation and its stockholders pursuant to which the Company acquired
all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Perf-Go Green. Perf-Go Green
was originally incorporated as a limited liability company on November 15, 2007
and converted to a "C" corporation on January 7, 2008. As consideration for the
Share Exchange, the Company issued an aggregate of 21,079,466 shares of common
stock, $0.0001 par value to the Perf-Go Green stockholders resulting in a change
in control of the Company with Perf-Go Green stockholders owning approximately
65% out of a total of 32,279,470 of the Company's outstanding common stock at
the date of the Share Exchange. In addition, the directors and officers of
Perf-Go Green were elected as directors and officers of the Company. As a result
of the Share Exchange, the Company has succeeded to the business of Perf-Go
Green as its sole business.
The accounting for the Share Exchange, commonly called a reverse acquisition,
calls for Perf-Go Green to be treated as the accounting acquirer. The acquired
assets and assumed liabilities of the Company were carried forward at their
historical values, which approximated fair value. Perf-Go Green's historical
financial statements, after the restatement discussed in Note 11, are carried
forward as those of the consolidated entity. The common stock and per share
amounts have been retroactively restated to the earliest period to reflect the
Share Exchange.
In connection with the Share Exchange, on May 13, 2008 and June 10, 2008, the
Company completed a private placement of its senior secured convertible
debentures in the principal amount of $5,950,000 and warrants to purchase shares
of the Company's common stock as described in Note 6.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Articles 8 and 10
of Regulation S-X for small business issuers and do not include all of the
information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Perf-Go Green Holdings, Inc. and its wholly
owned subsidiary, Perf-Go Green, Inc. (collectively, the "Company") and all
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation. All adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the more complete information and the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and for the period from
November 15, 2007 (inception) to March 31, 2008 and the related notes thereto
included in Form 8-K filed on May 16, 2008.
All amounts in the accompanying financial statements are rounded to the nearest
thousand dollars.
NOTE 2 - DISCUSSION OF THE COMPANY'S ACTIVITIES/PRODUCTS AND GOING CONCERN
CONSIDERATION:
Company Activities/Products - The Company is focused on the development and
global marketing of eco-friendly, non-toxic, food contact compliant,
biodegradable plastic products. Our biodegradable plastic products offer a
practical and viable solution for reducing plastic waste from the environment.
The Company believes that our plastic products will break down in landfill
environments within twelve (12) to twenty four (24) months, leaving no visible
or toxic residue. The Company's activities have included capital raising to
support its business plan, recruiting board and management personnel,
establishing sources of supply and customer relationships. The Company is
considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting By Development
Stage Enterprises," and is subject to the risks associated with activities of
development stage companies.
35
Going Concern Consideration - As indicated in the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, at June 30, 2008, the Company had
approximately $5,280,000 in cash and approximately $24,256,000 in negative
working capital and a stockholders' deficit of approximately $22,357,000. A
significant portion of the Company's liabilities (approximately $28,694,000) are
derivative liabilities which are further described in Notes 6 and 7. The Company
would presently be unable to satisfy the cash settlement liability associated
with its derivative liabilities.
For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company had a loss from operations
of approximately $10,814,000 and a net loss of approximately $32,851,000 and
utilized approximately $2,094,000 of cash in operating activities. Further,
development stage losses are continuing subsequent to June 30, 2008. The Company
anticipates that it will continue to generate significant losses from operations
for the near future. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's plan to deal with this uncertainty is to commence revenue activity
in the second half of calendar 2008. The Company's cash flow projections
presently indicate that projected revenues will be sufficient to fund operations
over the coming twelve months. However, as a development stage enterprise, the
Company's ability to accurately project revenues and expenses can be
significantly impacted by unforeseen events, developments and contingencies that
cannot be anticipated. As such, there can be no assurance that management's
plans to generate revenue in order to sustain our operations over the coming
twelve months can be realized. No adjustment has been made in the accompanying
financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities
which could result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per
share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive
securities outstanding during each period. At June 30, 2008, the Company
substantial potential dilution from outstanding warrants and options that could
potentially dilute future earnings per share; however, a separate computation of
diluted loss per share is not presented, as these common stock equivalents would
be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2008 includes approximately $5,197,000
invested in an institutional money market fund with a brokerage firm. Such
amount is stated at its fair value as it has a quoted value in an active market.
In addition to the deposit insurance provided by the brokerage firm, the money
market fund carries additional insurance, however this represents a
concentration of assets.
NOTE 5 - DEPOSITS WITH VENDOR - RELATED PARTY:
The manufacturing of our biodegradable plastic products is outsourced to
Spectrum Bags, Incorporated, a division of IPS Industries, Inc., a manufacturer
and distributor of plastic bags and plastic products. In order to secure initial
product shipments expected in the second half of calendar 2008, we have made
deposits of approximately $597,000 with this vendor at June 30, 2008. One member
of our Board of Directors serves as the President of this vendor.
NOTE 6 - SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND WARRANTS, RELATED DERIVATIVE
LIABILITIES AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS LIABILITY:
Senior Secured Convertible Debentures and Warrants - During May and June 2008,
pursuant to the terms of a Subscription Agreement, the Company issued senior
secured convertible debentures to unaffiliated accredited investors (the
"Investors") in the aggregate original principal amount of $5,950,000 (the
"Convertible Debentures") and five-year warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase
shares of the Company's common stock. The Convertible Debentures are secured by
all of our assets and are due in May 2011, with respect to $2,775,000 principal
amount, and in June 2011, with respect to $3,175,000 principal amount. Interest
36
on the Convertible Debentures is computed at the rate of 10% per year and is
payable quarterly in arrears in cash or, under certain circumstances, in common
stock of the company. The Convertible Debentures contain various covenants
which, among other things, restrict the Company's ability to incur additional
debt or liens or engage in certain transactions as specified therein.
Additionally the Convertible Debentures define various events of default
including non-payment of interest or principal when due, failure to comply with
covenants, breach of representations or warranties, failure to obtain effective
registration of the common stock underlying the conversion feature or failure to
deliver registered common stock, when requested, within a specified timeframe as
well as other matters discussed therein. Various remedies exist for an event of
default including the acceleration of the maturity of the obligation, an
increase in the interest rate to 15%, accrual of certain costs of the debt
holders and a reduction of the conversion rate, among other things. The
Convertible Debentures also provide that in the event of a "fundamental
transaction" (as defined) such as a change in control, the holder may require
that such holder's Convertible Note be redeemed at an "alternative
consideration" (as defined) which can be, among other things, 135% of the
principal amount of the Convertible Note or 130% of the equity conversion value
of the Convertible Note.
The Convertible Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into
shares of our common stock at the lower of the (a) "fixed conversion price" of
$0.75 per share (7,933,333 shares), subject to adjustment for stock splits,
stock dividends, or similar transactions, (b) "lowest conversion price"
representing the lowest price, conversion price or exercise price offered by the
Company in a subsequent equity financing, convertible security (subject to
certain exceptions) or derivative instruments or (c) "mandatory default amount"
representing the amount necessary to convert 110% of the face amount of the
Convertible Debentures plus accrued interest and costs at the lower of the price
of the common stock on the date of demand or the date of payment. The Company's
common stock price at the time of issuance of both the May and June 2008
Convertible Debentures exceeded the relevant conversion price (the fixed
conversion price). As a result, the Company assessed the applicability of EITF
No.'s 98-5 and 00-27 to determine if this constitutes a beneficial conversion
feature. However, since the conversion feature can result in a variable amount
of shares being issued, the conversion feature is considered an imbedded
derivative liability, not a beneficial conversion feature, that needs to be
separated from the "host contract" as described further below.
The Warrants entitle the holder to purchase approximately 7,933,333 shares
common stock at $1.00 per share subject to adjustment of the shares and exercise
price in the event of (a) stock dividends, splits or similar recapitalizations
or (b) a rights offering at less than market value to all stockholders, (c)
certain dividends or distributions and (d) the offering or issuance of common
stock or derivative instruments (warrants, options or conversion features),
subject to certain exceptions, at a price that is less than the exercise price
of the Warrants. The Company is obliged to issue registered shares of common
stock upon the exercise of the Warrants and if it cannot do so within three
business days, it is obliged to pay in cash the market value, plus brokerage
commissions, of the common stock. Because of the "pay in cash" feature and the
variability of the exercise price, the warrant is considered to be a derivative
liability as discussed further below.
Related Derivative liabilities - Under SFAS No. 133 and EITF No. 00-19, both the
embedded conversion option in the Convertible Debentures and the detachable
Warrants are deemed "freestanding financial instruments" that cannot be
classified as equity instruments at the commitment date related to their
issuance and instead are classified as "derivative liabilities subject to fair
value accounting."
Because the Convertible Debentures were issued with a variable conversion
feature and with detachable Warrants, the fair value of these attributes are
calculated and assigned before a value is assigned to the Convertible
Debentures. The Company computed the fair value by using a Black Scholes
calculation assuming a risk free rate of return of 2.7 - 3.2%, expected
volatility of 93% and expected life of the conversion feature (three years) and
the Warrants (five years), no dividends or forfeitures and the quoted market
price of the Company's stock on the day of the measurement. The resulting fair
values exceed the face amount of the Convertible Debentures and result in
recognition of an expense for derivative liabilities, as follows:
Fair value of conversion feature of Convertible Debentures
at issuance $ 13,739,000
Fair value of Warrants at issuance 13,718,000
------------
Total derivative liabilities at issuance in May and June 2008 27,457,000
Less: face amount of Convertible Debentures ("debt discount") (5,950,000)
------------
Expense for derivative liabilities upon issuance $ 21,507,000
============
|
37
These derivative liabilities are marked-to-market at each reporting period as
discussed further in Note 7.
The fair value of the conversion feature of the Convertible Debentures and the
Warrants that is assigned to debt discount ($5,950,000) is being amortized over
the life of the Convertible Debentures at the rate of approximately $496,000 per
quarter.
As a result of the above, the Convertible Debentures are recorded as follows:
Face amount of Debentures $ 5,950,000
Less:
Value assigned to conversion feature (2,908,000)
Value assigned to Warrants (3,042,000)
-----------
Value assigned to Debentures at the issuance $ --
Add: Amortization of debt discount 178,000
-----------
Carrying amount of $5,950,000 Debentures at June 30, 2008 $ 178,000
===========
|
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Debentures and Warrants, the
company paid a placement agent (the "Placement Agent") a cash fee of $595,000
and issued them warrants, on the same terms as the Warrants, to purchase 793,333
shares (subject to adjustment) of common stock at $1.00 for five years. Because
such warrants have the same variable exercise price feature, and cash settlement
provisions, as the Warrants described above, these warrants are also considered
derivative liabilities. As such, their fair value at inception of approximately
$1,395,000 was charged to derivative liability expense and this amount is
required to be marked-to-market at each reporting period. The Company recorded
the aggregate of the cash and warrant compensation of approximately $1,990,000
as a deferred finance cost and is amortizing that cost over the three year term
of the Convertible Debenture at the rate of approximately $166,000 per quarter.
At June 30, 2008, approximately $51,000 of amortization has been recorded
leaving approximately $1,939,000 of unamortized deferred finance cost at June
30, 2008. See also, Note 7.
Registration rights liability - The Company also granted the Investors
registration rights for the common stock underlying the embedded conversion
feature in the Convertible Debentures and the Warrants. The Company can be
assessed liquidated damages, as defined in the related agreements, for the
failure to file a registration statement in a certain timeframe or for the
failure to obtain or maintain effectiveness of such registration statement. Such
penalties shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 15% of the aggregate Purchase
Price (as defined in the Convertible Debentures). In assessing the likelihood
and amount of possible liability for liquidated damages, the Company considered
the guidance of EITF No.'s 00-19-2 and 05-04 as well as SFAS No. 5. Because
obtaining effectiveness of the registration statement is not within the
Company's control, the Company has concluded to record a liability for
approximately $893,000 representing 15% of the proceeds of the Convertible
Debentures as registration rights liability. If the Company's registration
statement is ultimately declared effective within the period prescribed therein,
such liability would be reversed in the period that the determination of
effectiveness is resolved.
Other - In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Debentures and the
related reverse acquisition transaction, the Company agreed to pay a total of
approximately $750,000 to an investor relations firm, approximately $488,000 of
which was paid at June 30, 2008 and the balance, approximately $262,000, was
included in accrued liabilities.
38
NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
Derivative liabilities at June 30, 2008 consist of the following:
Fair value of conversion feature of Convertible Debentures (Note 6) $10,623,000
Fair value of Warrants issued to Investors (Note 6) 11,601,000
-----------
subtotal 22,224,000
Fair value of warrants issued to placement agent in Convertible
Debentures (Note 6) 1,090,000
Fair value of warrant issued in connection with reverse acquisition (below) 579,000
Fair value of warrants issued to reverse acquisition equity investors (below) 4,801,000
-----------
Total derivative liabilities at June 30, 2008 $28,694,000
===========
|
In connection with the Share Exchange discussed in Note 1, the Company paid the
Placement Agent a cash fee of $210,000 and issued them warrants to purchase
common stock on the same terms as the Warrants discussed in Note 6. As such
these warrants entitle the holder to purchase approximately 420,000 shares
common stock at $1.00 per share subject to adjustment of the shares and exercise
price in the event of (a) stock dividends, splits or similar recapitalizations
or (b) a rights offering at less than market value to all stockholders, (c)
certain dividends or distributions and (d) the offering or issuance of common
stock or derivative instruments (warrants, options or conversion features),
subject to certain exceptions, at a price that is less than the exercise price
of the warrants. The Company is obliged to issue registered shares of common
stock upon the exercise of the Warrants and if it cannot do so within three
business days, it is obliged to pay in cash the market value, plus brokerage
commissions, of the common stock. Because of the cash settlement feature and the
variability of the exercise price, the warrant is considered to be a derivative
liability Under SFAS No. 133 and EITF No. 00-19. Such warrants had a fair value
at inception of approximately $480,000, which amount was charged to derivative
liabilities expense.
At the time of the Share Exchange, certain investors in a prior private
placement of common stock and warrants The Company granted the right to exchange
their existing warrants for new warrants on the same terms as the Warrants
discussed in Note 6 and in the preceding paragraph. Because of the variability
of the exercise price feature and the settlement in cash provisions, the warrant
is considered to be a derivative liability Under SFAS No. 133 and EITF No.
00-19. Such warrants had a fair value at inception of approximately $4,801,000,
which amount was charged to additional paid in capital as a direct cost of the
reverse acquisition.
Pursuant to fair value accounting, the derivative liabilities for the conversion
feature, the Warrants, the placement agent warrants and the warrants issued to
the December 2007 equity investors are required to be marked-to-market at each
reporting period during their term, with the resulting difference reported as a
component of income or expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the
Company recorded a total change in fair value due to remeasurement of derivative
liabilities of approximately $5,439,000 as income.
The Company computed the fair value of its derivative instruments by using a
Black Scholes calculation assuming a risk free rate of return of 2.7 - 3.2%,
expected volatility of 93% and expected life of the conversion feature (three
years) and the Warrants (five years) and the quoted market price of the
Company's stock on the day of the measurement.
NOTE 8 - BRIDGE NOTES AND WARRANTS, AS RESTATED
In January and February 2008 the Perf-Go Green sold an aggregate $750,000 of
secured convertible notes, due in January 2009 (with respect to $350,000) and
February 2009 (with respect to $400,000) and bearing interest at 10% per year,
together with warrants to purchase the Perf-Go Green's common stock. The notes
were convertible at $0.48 per share and, together with approximately $11,000 of
accrued interest, were converted into 1,522,767 shares of the Company's common
stock on March 27, 2008.
39
The detachable warrants permit the holders to purchase an aggregate of 1,500,000
shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.75 until January 2013
(with respect to 700,000 shares) or February 2013 (with respect to 800,000
shares). Under EITF No. 00-19, the Company concluded that these warrants met the
definition of a freestanding financial instrument that could be classified as
equity. The Company determined the fair value of these warrants based upon a
Black Scholes valuation calculation with the following assumptions: one and one
half year expected life, 150% volatility, 2.11% risk free interest rate and a
market price of $0.48 for the underlying common stock. The market price was
determined based on the ultimate conversion of these notes into common stock at
that price shortly after issuance. The fair value, $669,000 was recorded to
deferred finance costs and then, upon the conversion of the notes in March 2008,
written off. See also, Note 11.
Pursuant to EITF No.'s 98-5 and 00-27 and APB No. 14, the Company determined
that the exercise price of the convertible debt of $0.50 exceeded the market
price of the common stock at each commitment date. As a result, no allocation of
fair value was required amongst the convertible notes and warrants. The Company
also determined that SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19 were not applicable, as the
embedded conversion option did not require bifurcation.
In connection with raising these proceeds, Perf-Go Green paid $75,000 as direct
offering costs to the placement agent. The Company also issued, as an additional
placement agent fee, warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. The Company determined the valuation of these warrants, approximately
$43,000, by applying EITF 96-18 and using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
formula and a risk free interest rate of 1.9 - 2.7%, expected volatility of
150%, a five year expected term and a weighted average fair value of $0.75.
These costs were initially capitalized as debt issue costs and were being
amortized over the life of the related convertible debt instrument. Upon
conversion of the notes on March 27, 2008, the remaining unamortized portion of
debt issue costs was charged to interest expense on the statement of operations.
NOTE 9 - SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Common stock - On January 15, 2008, the Company issued 19,900,000 shares of
common stock (retroactively reflecting the Share Exchange) to its founders as
founders stock for pre incorporation services valued at $0.0001 per share.
Stock based compensation - In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No.
123R, "Share-Based Payment." SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation". Among other items, SFAS No. 123R
requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in
exchange for awards of equity instruments in the financial statements based on
the grant date fair value of those awards. Stock awards to consultants and other
non-employees are accounted for based on an estimate of their fair value at the
time of grant and, in the instance of options and warrants, are based upon a
Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The fair value of each option grant under SFAS No. 123R is estimated on the date
of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.2%; no dividend
yield; expected option lives based on their terms (generally five years) and
expected volatility of approximately 93%. The expected volatility for the
current period was developed by using historical volatility of the Company stock
history since the reverse acquisition. Since the history of our stock trading
has been relatively short, the baseline volatility calculation was increased by
50%. The risk-free interest rate was developed using the U.S. Treasury yield
curve for periods equal to the expected term of the options grant date.
The grant date fair value of the options issued under the Plan was approximately
$14,700,000 and, because a significant number of options vested immediately,
approximately $6,770,000 was charged to operations for stock compensation
expense under the Plan, including approximately $6,278,000 for directors,
officers and employees and approximately $494,000 to consultants. In addition to
stock compensation from options, we issued 884,194 shares to consultants
resulting in approximately $2,234,000 in stock compensation. Stock compensation
cost is included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements
In June 2008, the Company adopted the 2008 Share Incentive Plan (the "Plan")
which permits the granting of stock options and other forms of stock based
compensation to employees and consultants of the Company. Under the Plan, the
Company has reserved 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the
Plan. There were no stock options outstanding at March 31, 2008. The following
table summarizes the stock options issued to directors, officers, employees and
consultants under the Plan for the three months ended June 30, 2008 (unaudited)
under the Plan.

Monthly stock grants - In addition to stock grants and options discussed above,
the Company has initiated a monthly stock grant program for a director, an
officer, a related vendor and a consultant calling for the issuance of
approximately 52,000 shares per month over the coming year. The cost of these
share issuances will be valued at the fair market value of the Company's common
stock on the date of grant.
Warrants and Convertible Debentures - The Company has the following warrants and
convertible debentures outstanding that grant the right of the holder to obtain
our common stock as indicated:
- 7,933,333 shares issuable (subject to adjustment as described in
Note 6) at $0.75 (subject to adjustment) under convertible
debentures until May and June 2011
- 7,933,333 shares issuable (subject to adjustment as described in
Note 6) at $1.00 (subject to adjustment) under Warrants issued with
Convertible Debentures until May and June 2013
- 4,200,000 shares issuable (subject to adjustment) under warrants at
$1.00 (subject to adjustment) issued to purchasers of our
predecessor's common stock until May 2013
- 1,650,000 shares issuable at $0.75 to investors in our Bridge Notes
and a placement agent until January and February 2013
- 1,213,333 shares issuable (subject to adjustment) to a placement
agent in the Convertible Notes and Warrants and reverse acquisition
at $1.00 (subject to adjustment) until May and June 2013.
These items permit the holders to purchase 22,929,999 shares of the Company's
common stock before adjustment. Possible adjustments include the items discussed
in Notes 6 and 7 and would include increases for payment of interest in kind on
the Convertible Debentures.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 provides recognition
criteria and a related measurement model for tax positions taken by companies.
In accordance with FIN 48, a tax position is a position in a previously filed
tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax filing that is
reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Tax positions shall be recognized only when it is more likely than not
(likelihood of greater than 50%), based on technical merits, that the position
will be sustained upon examination.
Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold should be measured
using a probability weighted approach as the largest amount of tax benefit that
is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company
adopted FIN 48, which had no effect on the Company's financial positions and
results of operations at this time given its limited operations and activities.
No amounts were accrued for the tax exposures or payment of interest and
penalties at June 30, 2008 and there was no change to this balance at June 30,
2008.
The Company has a net operating loss carryforward for tax purposes totaling
$2,700,000 at June 30, 2008, expiring through the year 2028. Internal Revenue
Code Section 382 places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be
offset by operating loss carryforwards after a change in control (generally
greater than a 50% change in ownership, as defined).
The difference between the net operating loss carryforward and the deficit
accumulated during the development stage results largely from the
non-deductibility, for tax purposes, of derivative expense and income and stock
and stock based compensation.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred
income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income
during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities,
projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this
assessment. Based on consideration of these items, management has determined
that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the deferred
income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a full valuation
allowance as of June 30, 2008.
NOTE 11 - RESTATEMENT OF MARCH 31, 2008 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PERF-GO GREEN
In the original issuance of the financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and
for the period from November 15, 2007 (inception) to March 31, 2008, the Company
did not assign a fair value to the warrants issued in connection with the
convertible notes and warrants sold by Perf-Go Green in January and February
2008 described in Note 8. Generally accepted accounting principles requires that
a fair value be assigned to those warrants and that such amount be recorded as
debt discount and amortized over the life of the related debt. Because the notes
were converted to equity shortly after issuance, generally accepted accounting
principles require that the remaining debt discount be charged to operations.
The Company has determined that the fair value of those warrants was
approximately $669,000 as discussed further in Note 8. Accordingly, the prior
financial statements have been restated as follows:

NOTE 12 - EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company entered into employment
agreements with three officers and four employees. The agreement with the
officers calls for their employment over a three year period and calls for
aggregate base salaries for the three agreements of approximately $425,000 per
year for three years plus eligibility for an annual bonus up to 20% of base
compensation and annual increases of approximately 20%. The agreement with the
four employees call for their employment with the Company over a one or two year
period and call for aggregate compensation for the four agreements of
approximately $ 366,000 per year (approximately $577,000 over the full term).
NOTE 13 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Development stage
The Company's financial statements are presented as those of a development stage
enterprise. Activities during the development stage primarily include debt
financing, product design and the development of mass-market product
distribution networks for the eventual distribution of the products. There have
been nominal sales since our inception.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America requires 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 revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates in 2009 included the valuation of stock issued for
compensation and services, stock based compensation arrangements with employees
and third parties, warrants issued as compensation, fair value of derivative
financial instruments, estimated useful life of equipment, and a 100% valuation
allowance for deferred taxes due to the Company's continuing and expected future
losses.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money
market accounts to be cash equivalents.
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically
evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance
at times may exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 2008, the balance
exceeded the federally insured limit by approximately $5,196,000.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject
to normal trade collection terms, without discounts or rebates. The Company
periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and
considers the need to adjust an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon
historical collection experience and specific customer information. Actual
amounts could vary from the recorded estimates.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life, which is five years.
Minority Interest
Under generally accepted accounting principles, when losses applicable to the
minority interest in a subsidiary exceed the minority interest in the equity
capital of the subsidiary, the excess is not charged to the minority interest
since there is no obligation of the minority interest to make good on such
losses. The Company, therefore, has included losses applicable to the minority
interest against its interest. If future earnings do materialize, the Company
will be credited to the extent of such losses previously absorbed. For financial
reporting purposes, minority interest will not be presented until the minority's
share of profit exceeds its previously recorded deficit.
43
Revenue recognition
The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 for revenue recognition. The Company records
revenue when all of the following have occurred; (1) persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, (2) product delivery has occurred, (3) the sales price to
the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably
assured.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production and
installation of the Company's products. Primary costs include raw materials,
direct labor, and allocated payroll, commissions and rental charges.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each
period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock
equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.
At June 30, 2008, the Company common stock equivalent options, warrants and
convertible debt that could potentially dilute future earnings per share;
however, a separate computation of diluted loss per share is not presented, as
these common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.
Stock-based compensation
All share-based payments to employees is recorded and expensed in the statement
of operations as applicable under SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment".
Non-employee stock based compensation
Stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services are
recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments
issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable,
using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue EITF No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to
Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or
Services" ("EITF 96-18").
Derivative Liabilities
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,"
requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion
options and warrants, and measurement of their fair value for accounting
purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt
instruments, management first reviews the guidance of EITF No.'s 98-5, 00-27 and
05-2 as well as SFAS No. 150 to determine if the convertible debt host
instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial
conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered
conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process
of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at
each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being
recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.
In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as
warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In
assessing the nature of a financial instrument as freestanding, the Company has
applied the guidance pursuant to EITF No.'s 00-19. Finally, the Company has
applied the related guidance in EITF No.'s 00-19-2 and 05-4 as well as SFAS No.
5 when determining the existence of liquidated damage provisions. At June 30,
2008, the Company had various derivative instruments. (See Note 6 and 7).
44
NOTE 14 - RECENTLY ISSUED OR ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard ("SFAS") No. 157, Fair Value Measurement ("SFAS 157"), for its
financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value
at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are
re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In accordance with the
provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date f FASB Statement No. 157, the
Company elected to defer implementation of SFAS 157 as it relates to our
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized and
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis
until April 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, this Standard
will have on our financial position and results of operations.
SFAS 157 defines fair value, thereby eliminating inconsistencies in guidance
found in various prior accounting pronouncements, and increases disclosures
surrounding fair value calculations. SFAS 157 establishes a three tiered fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair
value calculations. SFAS 157 requires the Company to maximize the use of
observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs in making fair
value judgments.
The Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis include those securities classified as cash and cash equivalents
and all derivative liability instruments on the condensed consolidated balance
sheet. All securities owned are valued under the first tier of the hierarchy
where the assets are measured using quoted prices in active markets.
On April 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did
not have any material impact on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No 51" (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent,
changes in a parent's ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and
disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the
noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest while the
parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of
any retained noncontrolling equity investment. The Company's adoption of SFAS
No. 160 on April 1, 2008 did not have a material effect on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No 141R, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS
141R"). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141 and establishes principles and requirements
for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling
interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes
disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. Acquisition costs associated with
the business combination will generally be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141R is
effective for business combinations occurring in the fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, which will require the Company to adopt these
provisions for business combinations occurring in fiscal 2009 and thereafter.
In January 2008, the SEC released SAB No. 110, which amends SAB No. 107 which
provided a simplified approach for estimating the expected term of a "plain
vanilla" option, which is required for application of the Black-Scholes option
pricing model (and other models) for valuing share options. At the time, the
Staff acknowledged that, for companies choosing not to rely on their own
historical option exercise data (i.e., because such data did not provide a
reasonable basis for estimating the term), information about exercise patterns
with respect to plain vanilla options granted by other companies might not be
available in the near term; accordingly, in SAB No. 107, the Staff permitted use
of a simplified approach for estimating the term of plain vanilla options
granted on or before December 31, 2007. The information concerning exercise
behavior that the Staff contemplated would be available by such date has not
materialized for many companies. Thus, in SAB No. 110, the Staff continues to
allow use of the simplified rule for estimating the expected term of plain
vanilla options until such time as the relevant data becomes widely available.
The Company does not expect its adoption of SAB No. 110 to have a material
impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
45
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities--An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133."
("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 establishes the disclosure requirements for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities with the intent to provide financial
statement users with an enhanced understanding of the entity's use of derivative
instruments, the accounting of derivative instruments and related hedged items
under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and the effects of these
instruments on the entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect its
adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles" (SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in
the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU section 411,
The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162, but does
not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or
other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date
and are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon
adoption.

PERF-GO GREEN, INC., INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2008
(AS RESTATED)
47
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders' of:
Perf-Go Green, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Perf-Go Green, Inc., (a
development stage company) as of March 31, 2008 and the related statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from
November 15, 2007 (Inception) to March 31, 2008. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 considerations 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 includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Perf-Go Green, Inc. as of March
31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period
from November 15, 2007 (Inception) to March 31, 2008, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Notes 2, 3, 5 and 8, the financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2008 have been restated to account for the fair value of 1,500,000
stock warrants issued to third party investors in the convertible debt offering.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $1,425,015 and net cash used
in operations of $402,370 for the period ended March 31, 2008; and a deficit
accumulated during the development stage of $1,425,015 at March 31, 2008. These
matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are also described
in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of operations
Perf Go Green, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation that was
incorporated on November 15, 2007 as an LLC and then converted to a "C"
corporation on January 7, 2008. The Company had no activity during its existence
as an LLC.
The Company has been created as an environmentally friendly "green" company for
the development and global marketing of eco-friendly, non-toxic, food contact
compliant, biodegradable plastic products. We believe our plastic products will
break down in landfill environments within twelve to twenty four months, leaving
no visible or toxic residue. All of our products incorporate recycled plastic.
The product is intended to be presented to mass retailers in the United States
and Canada and it is the Company's intention to market the products worldwide.
Development stage
The Company's financial statements are presented as those of a development stage
enterprise. Activities during the development stage primarily include debt
financing, product design and the development of mass-market product
distribution networks for the eventual distribution of the products. There have
been no sales since our Inception.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America requires 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 revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates in 2008 included the valuation of stock issued for
compensation and services, stock issued to convert outstanding debt and related
accrued interest, warrants issued as compensation, estimated useful life of
equipment, and a 100% valuation allowance for deferred taxes due to the
Company's continuing and expected future losses.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money
market accounts to be cash equivalents.
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically
evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance
at times may exceed federally insured limits. At March 31, 2008, the balance
exceeded the federally insured limit by $185,328.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life, which is five years.
Net loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per
share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive
securities outstanding during each period. At March 31, 2008, the Company had
1,650,000 warrants that could potentially dilute future earnings per share;
however, a separate computation of diluted loss per share is not presented, as
these common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.
Fair value of financial instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosures of information about the
fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate the value. For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a
financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in
a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or
liquidation.
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for prepaid expenses, accounts
payable and accrued expenses approximates its fair market value based on the
short-term maturity of these instruments.
Segment information
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." During
2008, the Company only operated in one segment; therefore, segment information
has not been presented.
Stock-based compensation
All share-based payments to employees is recorded and expensed in the statement
of operations as applicable under SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment". The
Company has not issued any stock based compensation since inception to
employees.
Non-employee stock based compensation
Stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services are
recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments
issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable,
using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue EITF No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to
Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or
Services" ("EITF 96-18"). The Company has issued stock warrants to third party
investors and a third party placement agent (See Note 5).
Derivative Liabilities
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,"
requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments and measurement of their
fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value,
the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Derivative liabilities
are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or
decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an
adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of
freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are valued using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. At March 31, 2008, we had no such derivative
instruments.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $2,840
for the period from November 15, 2007 (Inception) to March 31, 2008.
Income taxes
For the period November 15, 2007 (Inception) to January 6, 2008, the Company was
taxed as an LLC and was treated as a pass through entity. On January 7, 2008,
the Company became a "C" corporation. The Company accounts for income taxes
under the liability method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" under this method, deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between
the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse.
We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48; "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN
48). FIN 48 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain
tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by
determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than
not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of
related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure
the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being
realized upon ultimate settlement. We consider many factors when evaluating and
estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic
adjustments. At March 31, 2008, we did not record any liabilities for uncertain
tax position.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements",
which clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions
that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. It also
defines fair value and established a hierarchy that prioritizes the information
used to develop assumptions. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not
expect SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on its financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities", which permits entities to choose to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected
should be reported in earnings. The decision to elect the fair value option is
determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis, should be applied to an entire
instrument and is irrevocable. Assets and liabilities measured at fair values
pursuant to the fair value option should be reported separately in the balance
sheet from those instruments measured using other measurement attributes. SFAS
No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the Company's 2008 fiscal year. The
adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material effect on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No 51" (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent,
changes in a parent's ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and
disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the
noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest while the
parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of
any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The
adoption of SFAS No. 160 is not expected to have a material effect on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS
141R"), which replaces FASB SFAS 141, "Business Combinations". This Statement
retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of
accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be
identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R defines the acquirer as the
entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business
combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer
achieves control. SFAS 141R will require an entity to record separately from the
business combination the direct costs, where previously these costs were
included in the total allocated cost of the acquisition. SFAS 141R will require
an entity to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any
non-controlling interest in the acquired at the acquisition date, at their fair
values as of that date. This compares to the cost allocation method previously
required by SFAS No. 141. SFAS 141R will require an entity to recognize as an
asset or liability at fair value for certain contingencies, either contractual
or non-contractual, if certain criteria are met. Finally, SFAS 141R will require
an entity to recognize contingent consideration at the date of acquisition,
based on the fair value at that date. This Statement will be effective for
business combinations completed on or after the first annual reporting period
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption of this standard is not
permitted and the standards are to be applied prospectively only. Upon adoption
of this standard, there would be no impact to the Company's results of
operations and financial condition for acquisitions previously completed. The
adoption of SFAS No. 141R is not expected to have a material effect on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2008, the SEC released SAB No. 110, which amends SAB No. 107 which
provided a simplified approach for estimating the expected term of a "plain
vanilla" option, which is required for application of the Black-Scholes option
pricing model (and other models) for valuing share options. At the time, the
Staff acknowledged that, for companies choosing not to rely on their own
historical option exercise data (i.e., because such data did not provide a
reasonable basis for estimating the term), information about exercise patterns
with respect to plain vanilla options granted by other companies might not be
available in the near term; accordingly, in SAB No. 107, the Staff permitted use
of a simplified approach for estimating the term of plain vanilla options
granted on or before December 31, 2007. The information concerning exercise
behavior that the Staff contemplated would be available by such date has not
materialized for many companies. Thus, in SAB No. 110, the Staff continues to
allow use of the simplified rule for estimating the expected term of plain
vanilla options until such time as the relevant data becomes widely available.
The Company does not expect its adoption of SAB No. 110 to have a material
impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities--An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133."
("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 establishes the disclosure requirements for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities with the intent to provide financial
statement users with an enhanced understanding of the entity's use of derivative
instruments, the accounting of derivative instruments and related hedged items
under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and the effects of these
instruments on the entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect its
adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or
other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date
and are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon
adoption.
Note 2 Going Concern - As Restated
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net
loss of $1,425,015 and net cash used in operations of $402,370 for the period
ended March 31, 2008; and a deficit accumulated during the development stage of
$1,425,015 at March 31, 2008. In addition, the Company is in the development
stage and has not yet generated any revenues. The ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to further
implement its business plan and to continue to raise funds through debt or
equity raises. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
Note 3 Restatement
In the original issuance of the financial statements as of March 31, 2008, and
for the period from November 15, 2007 (inception) to March 31, 2008, the Company
did not assign a fair value to the warrants issued to the investors in
connection with the convertible notes and warrants sold by Perf-Go Green, Inc.
in January and February 2008 as described in Note 8. Generally accepted
accounting principles requires that a fair value be assigned to those warrants
and that such amount be recorded as a debt discount and amortized over the life
of the related debt. Since these convertible notes were converted to equity
prior to the maturity of the convertible debt, the remaining debt discount is
charged to interest expense. The Company has determined that the fair value of
those warrants was approximately $669,300 as discussed further in Note 5.
Accordingly, the prior financial statements have been restated as follows:

Note 5 Convertible Debt Offering - As Restated
On January 15, 2008, February 8, 2008 and February 28, 2008, respectively, the
Company sold $350,000, $250,000 and $150,000, respectively, of convertible debt
each with warrants. The terms for the debt and warrants were as follows:
(A) Convertible Debt
(1) Terms
a. Interest rate at 10%.
b. Secured by substantially all assets of the Company.
c. Due one year from issue date.
d. Conversion - all debt and related accrued interest was
convertible at $0.50/share.
(2) Conversion
All debt and related accrued interest was converted on March 27, 2008. The
Company issued 1,522,767 shares of common stock in exchange for $750,000
principal and $11,383 of accrued interest.
(3) Debt Issue Costs
In connection with raising these proceeds, the Company paid $75,000 as
direct offering costs to the placement agent. These costs were initially
capitalized as debt issue costs and were being amortized over the life of
the related convertible debt instrument. Upon conversion of the debt on
March 27, 2008, the remaining unamortized portion of debt issue costs was
charged to interest expense on the statement of operations.
(4) Beneficial Conversion Feature and Derivative Liability
Pursuant to EITF No.'s 98-5 and 00-27 and APB No. 14, the Company
determined that the exercise price of $0.50 was equivalent to the market
price of $0.50 on each commitment date discussed above. The market price
was determined based upon the conversion price of the debt as evidenced by
the investors who converted their debt and related accrued interest in
March 2008. The conversion price represented the best evidence of fair
value as this was a privately held entity. As a result, no allocation of
fair value was required for the convertible debt since its market price
and conversion price were equivalent..
The Company also determined that SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19 were not
applicable, as the embedded conversion option did not require bifurcation
and related fair value accounting.
(B) Warrants
(1) Terms
a. Exercise price - $0.75.
b. Expected term - 1.5 years for the placement agent warrants and
5 years for the investor warrants.
(2) Issuance
a. The Company issued 1,500,000 warrants in the above debt
offering. Each $1 of debt sold was accompanied by 2 stock
warrants.
b. The Company also issued, as a placement agent fee, 10% of the
gross warrants sold with the convertible debt. Therefore, an
additional 150,000 warrants were issued as additional
compensation. The Company determined the valuation of these
warrants by applying EITF 96-18 as follows:
(3) Determining Fair Value
Under EITF No. 00-19, for the 1,500,000 warrants sold to investors, the
Company concluded that these warrants met the definition of a freestanding
financial instrument that could be classified as equity. The detachable
stock purchase warrants permit the holders to purchase an aggregate of
1,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.75 until
January 2013 (with respect to 700,000 shares) or February 2013 (with
respect to 800,000 shares). The Company recorded a fair value of $669,300
to debt issue costs, and then upon conversion of the related convertible
debt in March 2008, expensed the remaining unamortized debt issue costs to
interest expense. (See Note 3)
For the 150,000 placement agent warrants, the Company estimates the fair
value of stock warrants granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. The fair value of this warrant compensation to the placement agent
was $42,697 and was charged to interest expense upon each commitment date
for services rendered in the form of a direct debt offering cost. The
Company's determination of fair value using an option-pricing model is
affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding the number of
highly subjective variables.
The fair value of these aggregate 1,650,000 warrant grants for the period
from November 15, 2007 (Inception) to March 31, 2008 was estimated using
the following weighted- average assumptions:
Risk free interest rate 1.90 - 2.70%
Expected term (in years) 1.5 - 5
Expected dividend yield 0%
Expected volatility of common stock 150%
Estimated annual forfeitures 0%
|
See Note 7 for additional warrant disclosure.
Note 6 Commitments and Related Party Transactions
During January 2008, the Company's CEO contributed $100 for general corporate
activities. The Company recorded this as contributed capital.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company entered into four separate three-year
employment agreements with its senior management. The agreements provided for
salaries ranging from $75,000 - $175,000 per annum. Each of these individuals
will be entitled to annual increase of 20% per annum over the term of the
initial term of the employment agreement. There is additional compensation that
can be earned given certain milestones.
The Company's Chief Operating Officer and Chief Marketing Officer have subleased
certain office space to the Company. For the period from November 15, 2007
(Inception) to March 31, 2008, the Company was charged fair market value rent of
$15,500. Each of these leases is month to month, and there is no committed
arrangement. Beginning April 2008, monthly rent will be approximately
$9,500/month.
A director of our Company is the officer of a manufacturer that the Company has
entered into an agreement with. The terms require the Company to purchase a
minimum amount of products on a monthly basis. The minimum requirement is not
required to be met until October 2008.
Note 7 Stockholders' Equity
On January 15, 2008, the Company issued 18,800,000 shares of common stock to its
founders, having a fair value of $1,880 ($0.0001/ share), for pre-incorporation
services rendered.
A summary of warrant activity at March 31, 2008 is as follows:

Note 8 Income Taxes - As Restated
SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for
both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the
tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to
be derived from tax losses and tax credit carryforwards. SFAS 109 additionally
requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of
realization of deferred tax assets.
The Company has a net operating loss carryforward for tax purposes totaling
$701,602 at March 31, 2008, expiring through the year 2028. Internal Revenue
Code Section 382 places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be
offset by carryforwards after a change in control (generally greater than a 50%
change in ownership). Temporary differences, which give rise to a net deferred
tax asset, are as follows:
Significant deferred tax assets at March 31, 2008 are as follows:
Gross deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards $ 315,944
---------
Total deferred tax assets 315,944
Less: valuation allowance (315,944)

The valuation allowance at January 7, 2008 (Inception of the "C" corporation)
was $0. The net change in valuation allowance during the period ended March 31,
2008, was an increase of $315,944. In assessing the realizability of deferred
tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The
ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of
deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax
planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of these
items, management has determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the
realization of the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application
of a full valuation allowance as of March 31, 2008.
The actual tax benefit differs from the expected tax benefit for the period
ended March 31, 2008 (computed by applying the U.S. Federal Corporate tax rate
of 34% to income before taxes and 16.72 % for New York State/City income taxes,
a blended rate of 45.03%) as follows:
Expected tax expense (benefit) - Federal - As restated $(403,520)
Expected tax expense (benefit) - State/City - As restated (238,191)
Non-deductible stock and warrant compensation - As restated 321,472
Meals and entertainment 4,295

options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock to our officers,
directors or employees, as well as advisers and consultants.

granting of options and rights. Such options and rights are to be granted at
price to be determined by our board of directors. All stock options and rights
are to vest over a period as determined by the Board of Directors and expire not
more than ten years from the date they were granted. Options to be granted under
the plan will be either "incentive," which are meant to qualify under Section

incentive options under the Code. Other awards may be in the form of restricted
stock. Subject to the terms of the plan, the Board will be solely responsible

determination of the purchase price of options. Under the plan, the exercise
price for qualified stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market
value of a share of common stock at the time the option is granted. Officers,
Consultants and key employees will be eligible to receive options under the
proposed plan. The Company intends to submit the 2008 Plan to shareholders for

Common Stock
The holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably in
such dividends and distributions as may be legally declared by the Board of
Directors with respect to the common stock and in any assets of the Company
available for to stockholders upon its liquidation. Upon liquidation assets will
only be available for distribution after satisfaction or provision for all debts
and other obligations of the Company, including to holders of common stock
designated as senior in right of payment upon liquidation. The holders of shares
of common stock have one vote per share in person or by proxy at all meetings of
stockholders. There are no cumulative voting rights with respect to the election
of the Company, which means that holders of more than 50% of the shares of
common stock voting in an election for directors can elect all of the directors
then to be elected. There are no preemptive, conversion, sinking fund or
redemption rights applicable to the common stock.
Preferred Stock
Our certificate of incorporation provides that we are authorized to issue
"blank check" preferred stock, which may be issued from time to time in one or
more series upon authorization by our board of directors. Our Board of Directors
without approval of our stockholders, is authorized to fix any dividend rights,
conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights and terms, liquidation
preferences and any other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions
applicable to each series of preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock,
while providing us flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and
other corporate purposes, could, among other things, adversely affect your
voting power and the voting power of the holders of the common stock. Under
certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could also make it more
difficult for a third party to gain control of our Company, discourage bids for
our outstanding securities at a premium or otherwise adversely affect the price
of our outstanding securities.
Senior Secured Convertible Notes
On May 13, 2008, the Company consummated the first closing of a private
placement offering pursuant to which it issued to accredited investors, 10%
senior secured convertible debentures and common stock purchase warrants. The

13, 2011 at the first closing. On June 10, 2008, the Company issued 3,175,000 of
its 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due on June 10, 2011. All of the Senior
Secured Convertible Notes were secured by a first priority lien and security
interest on substantially all of the assets of the Company subject to certain
limited and specified exclusions. Under certain circumstances, the Note holders
are entitled to have their conversion price adjusted to correspond to common
stock holders' rights to any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or
reclassification of shares. The $0.75 conversion price (the "Fixed Conversion
Price") may also be adjusted if the Company issues shares of its capital stock,
or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into capital stock at a
price of less than the Fixed Conversion Price.
The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the
option of the holder and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and they will
mature three years from the date of issue unless previously paid. Interest
payments are to be made quarterly and may be paid, at the option of the Company,
in cash or, subject to certain equity conditions, the Company's common stock.

There are warrants to purchase 14,996,666 shares outstanding. We issued

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in
connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity
securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities
registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ
system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to
transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny
stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to
deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a)
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny
stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a
description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights
and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such
duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief,
clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices
for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask
price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary
actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the
conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and
is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall
require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in
a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny
stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the
transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or
other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market
for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of
each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in
a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make
a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment
for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the
receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions
involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability
statement.
Holders
As of August 8, 2008, in accordance with our transfer agent records, we
had 25 record holders of our Common Stock.
Dividends
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends if, and when
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. We
have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We intend to
retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our
business. Consequently, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our
common stock to our stockholders for the foreseeable future.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
In June, 2008, we adopted the Perf-Go Green Holdings, Inc. 2008 Share
Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan"), which provide for the grant of incentive stock
options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock to our officers,
directors or employees, as well as advisers and consultants.
Under the 2008 Plan, we reserved 10,000,000 shares of common stock for the
granting of options and rights. Such options and rights are to be granted at
price to be determined by our board of directors. All stock options and rights
are to vest over a period as determined by the Board of Directors and expire not
more than ten years from the date they were granted. The Company intends to
submit the 2008 Plan to shareholders for approval at the Company's next Annual
Meeting.
As of March 31, 2008, our Board of Directors did not authorize the
issuance of any equity securities relating to compensation plans, including
individual compensation arrangements.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for the common stock is Island Stock Transfer. The
transfer agent phone number is 727-289-0010.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal
proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation
is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other
matters may arise from time to time that may harm its business. On April 11,
2008, David Conklin, a shareholder of the Company, asserted a claim against
Anthony Tracy, our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive
Officer, alleging that, based on Mr. Conklin's prior contributions to other
companies operated by Anthony Tracy as well as prior agreements between Mr.
Conklin and Mr. Tracy, Mr. Conklin was entitled to be issued a ten (10%) percent
interest in the Company. This dispute was resolved on July 8, 2008. In
accordance with the terms of the Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement dated
July 8, 2008 by and among Mr. Tracy, Mr. Conklin and the Company, Mr. Conklin
was issued 888,830 shares of common stock of the Company. Such shares were taken
from Mr. Tracy's interest in the Company and no additional shares were issued by
the Company.

provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may

manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance
expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or

indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including
attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only
for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and
if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The
indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of
the State of Delaware.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Delaware law, we
are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,

therefore, unenforceable.
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During December 2007, the Company offered units which consisted of 100,000
common shares and a three-year warrant to purchase 100,000 common shares at an
exercise price of $0.75 per share for $50,000 per unit. The Company issued
5,200,000 common shares and 5,200,000 warrants to three investors (the "Epitome
Investors") and received cash proceeds of $2,600,000 ($0.50 per share) in
connection with the offering. This offering was done in connection with a letter
of intent between Perf-Go Green Holdings, Inc. and Epitome Systems, Inc. whereby
the two companies entered into good faith negotiations in furtherance of entry
into a definitive merger agreement which was not consummated but the Epitome
Investors did not rescind their investment. The Epitome Investors committed $2.1
million dollars of the prior $2.6 million dollar investment to Perf-Go Green
Holdings, Inc. in connection with the Share Exchange and remain as shareholders
of the Company. One of the Epitome Investors, E&P Fund, Ltd., has reduced its
investment in the Company by $500,000 and has returned one million shares of the
Company's common stock to the Company which have been cancelled. In connection
with the cancellation and, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement entered into in
April 2008 between the Company and E&P Fund, Ltd., the Company agreed to assign
the right to the repayment of a refundable deposit of $500,000 paid to Epitome
Systems, Inc. in connection with the abandoned merger, to E&P Fund, Ltd. in
exchange for the return of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. In addition, the
Epitome Investors have agreed to cancel the warrants they received as part of
the Epitome investment in exchange for the same number of warrants currently
being offered in the Company's current offering of 10% Senior Secured
Convertible Notes and Common Stock Purchase Warrants and have signed releases
releasing Perf Holdings from any liability resulting from the prior transaction
with Epitome.
II-1
On June 11, 2008, the Company completed a private placement offering
pursuant to which it issued to accredited investors (the "Investors"), 10%
senior secured convertible debentures in the principal amount of $5,950,000, in
the aggregate (the "Notes"), and warrants to purchase a total of 7,933,333
shares of the Company's common stock (the "Warrants") at an exercise price of
$1.00 per share. The Warrants may be exercised for a period of five years.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of this registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table
in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration
statement or any material change to such information in this
registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1) (i), (1) (ii) and (1) (iii)
do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that are
incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
II-2
(2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(4) Not applicable.
(5) That for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities
Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule
424 (b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the
registration statement as of the date the filed
prospectus was deemed part of and included in the
registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration
statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an
offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or
(x) for the purpose of providing the information
required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933
shall be deemed to be part of and included in the
registration statement as of the earlier of the date
such form of prospectus is first used after
effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale
of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability
purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that
date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a
new effective date of the registration statement
relating to the securities in the registration statement
to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however,
that no statement made in a registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement or
made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated
by reference into the registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale
prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any
statement that was made in the registration statement or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement
or made in any such document immediately prior to such
effective date; or
(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration
statement relating to an offering, other than registration
statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses
filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of
and included in the registration statement as of the date it
is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no
statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that
is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of
contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify
any statement that was made in the registration statement or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made
in any such document immediately prior to such date of first
use.
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant
under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial
distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant
undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement,
regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to
the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the
undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be
considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
registrant relating to the offering required to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424;
II-3
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared
by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or
referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to
the offering containing material information about the
undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on
behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made
by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions described herein, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
