To the Board of
Directors
The Tirex Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
We have
reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Tirex
Corporation as of March 31, 2009, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholder's equity (deficit), and cash
flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31,
2009 and 2008. These interim financial statements are the
responsibility of the Corporation's management.
We
conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review
of interim financial information consists of principally applying
analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible
for the financials and accounting matters. It is substantially less
in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.
Based on
our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to such consolidated financial statements for them
to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
We have
previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public
Company Accounting Standard Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheet of The Tirex Corporation as of June 30,
2008, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholder's equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated October 21, 2008, we
expressed an unqualified opinion with a going concern paragraph on
those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 2008 is fairy stated, in all material aspects,
in relations to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has
been derived.

THE TIREX CORPORATION
A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009
Note 1
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
The Tirex Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Delaware on August 19, 1987 as Tirex America,
Inc. The Company was originally organized to provide comprehensive
health care services, but due to its inability to raise sufficient
capital, was unable to implement its business plan. The Company
became inactive in November 1990.
REORGANIZATION
On March 26, 1993, the Company entered into an acquisition
agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with Louis V. Muro,
currently an officer and a director of the Company, and former
Officers and Directors of the Company (collectively the "Seller"),
for the purchase of certain technology owned and developed by the
Seller (the "Technology") to be used to design, develop and
construct a prototype machine and thereafter a production quality
machine for the cryogenic disintegration of used tires. The
Technology was conceptually developed by the Seller prior to their
affiliation or association with the Company.
CHANGE OF NAME
On July 11, 1997, the Company changed its name from Tirex America,
Inc. to The Tirex Corporation.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE
At March 31, 2009, the Company is still in the development stage.
The operations consist mainly of raising capital, obtaining
financing, developing equipment, obtaining customers and supplies,
installing and testing equipment and administrative activities.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated
accounts of The Tirex Corporation, Tirex Canada R&D Inc., The
Tirex Corporation Canada Inc., Tirex Advanced Products Quebec Inc.
and Tirex Acquisition Corp., all of these subsidiaries currently
being dormant. Certain of these companies have actually been
de-registered by government authorities but could easily be revived
if circumstances would warrant such action. Tirex Canada R&D
Inc. is held 51% by two shareholders of the Company. The shares
owned by these shareholders are held in escrow by the Company's
attorney and are restricted from transfer thereby, substantively
for recording purposes, allowing for a full consolidation of this
Company. The Tirex Corporation Canada Inc., Tirex Advanced Products
Quebec Inc. and Tirex Acquisition Corp. are 100% held by the
Company. All subsidiary companies are dormant. All material
inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in
consolidation.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less, were
deemed to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORY
The Company policy is to value inventory, which could consist of
finished goods and equipment held for resale, at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out method) or market. At present, the Company has
no inventory.
7
THE TIREX CORPORATION
A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
The Company policy is to record Property and equipment at cost less
accumulated depreciation and provisions for write-downs.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of five years. No depreciation is recorded
for equipment written down to salvage value. The Company has
written off its equipment to salvage value.
The Company policy is that repairs and
maintenance costs are expensed as incurred while additions and
betterments are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated
depreciation of assets sold or retired are eliminated from the
accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in earnings.
ESTIMATES
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
A Basic Earnings per Share is computed using the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for
the period. Diluted Earnings per Share is computed using the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive
common equivalent shares related to stock options, warrants
outstanding and debt conversions during the period.
A net loss was reported for the years ended June
30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, and accordingly, in those years, the
denominator for the Basic EPS calculation was equal to the weighted
average of outstanding shares with no consideration for outstanding
options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments, which
principally include cash, note receivable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the relatively
short maturity of such instruments.
The fair values of the Company's debt
instruments are based on the amount of future cash flows associated
with each instrument discounted using the Company's borrowing rate.
At March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively, the carrying
value of all financial instruments was not materially different
from fair value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a
local currency environment are translated to U.S. dollars at
exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date for monetary
items and historical rates of exchange for non-monetary items with
the resulting translation adjustment recorded directly to a
separate component of shareholders' equity. Income and expense
accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year.
Currency transaction gains or losses are recognized in current
operations.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from the sale of TCS Systems will be recognized when the
installed product is accepted by the Customer. All other revenue
from other products will be recognized when shipped to the
customer.

Note 2
GOING CONCERN
As reported in the accompanying financial
statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $498,322 for the
year ended June 30, 2008 and a net loss of $413,130 for the nine
month period ended March 31, 2009.
In March 1993, the Company had begun its
developmental stage with a new business plan. As of March 2000, the
Company had developed a production quality prototype of its
patented system for the disintegration of scrap tires, but
nonetheless continued its research and development efforts to
improve the machine's performance and to permit greater flexibility
in design for specific customer applications. Due to the Company’s
lack of working capital during the year ended June 30, 2002, all
rubber crumb production was suspended and research and development
efforts have been hampered. Pending receipt of funding from
operations, government assistance, loans or equity financing, crumb
rubber production and previous research and development efforts
will not be resumed. While the Company has engaged the process of
marketing the TCS System to numerous potential clients since the
beginning of the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2000, as of March
31, 2009, the Company had not yet consummated an unconditional
purchase order for a TCS System.
The Company is dependent on the success of its
marketing of its TCS Systems, and/or raising funds through equity
sales, bank or investor loans, governmental grants or a combination
of these, to continue as a going concern. The Company's uncertainty
as to its ability to generate revenue and its ability to raise
sufficient capital, raise substantial doubt about the entity's
ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company
is unable to continue as a going concern.

As at March 31, 2009, plant and equipment

period ended March 31, 2009 was zero.
Note 4
PATENTS
The Company’s technology is patent protected in
both the United States and Canada. Patent maintenance fees are
current in both countries. The valuation on the Balance Sheet
reflects recognition of valid patents and does not attempt to
establish true commercial value.

Note 5
CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
The Company leased certain manufacturing
equipment under agreements classified as capital leases. The cost
and the accumulated amortization for such equipment as of March 31,
2009 and June 30, 2008 was $62,400 and $62,400, respectively. The
Company is in arrears on payment of these leases but default has
not been declared. The lease expired on June 30, 2004.
Note 6
CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The Company issued Type B Convertible
Subordinated Debentures between December 1997 and February 1998.
These debentures bore interest at 10% and were convertible into
common shares of the Company at $0.20 per share. The conversion
privilege on the remaining $55,000 of these debentures expired and
the amount is now included on the Balance Sheet in Long term
deposits and notes.
Note 7
CONVERTIBLE NOTES
The Convertible Notes appearing on the balance
sheet consisted of an investment arrangement with a group of
institutional investors involving a multi-stage financing under
which the Company had access to, at its option, up to $5,000,000. A
first tranche of $750,000 was completed but no further draw downs
were made. The terms of the convertible note were:
|
|
Balance at March 31,

If not converted,
the holder may require the Company to redeem at any time after
maturity for the principal amount plus interest. |
|
|
Conversion ratio |
Lower of (i) – 80% of the average of
the three lowest closing bid prices for the thirty trading days
prior to the issue date, which equals $.073, or (ii) – 80% of the
average of the three lowest closing bid prices for the sixty
trading days prior to the conversion date. |
|
|
Common stock
warrants |
The Convertible
Notes carried an option to purchase Common stock warrants at the
rate of one Warrant for each $1.25 of purchase price. The exercise
price on the first tranche of $ 750,000 is $ .077 per share. |
Certain current and previous Directors and
Officers of the Company have pledged approximately 12,000,000 of
their personal shares of Common Stock of the Company as security
for the Convertible Notes until such time as the Company would
successfully file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
Registration Statement on Form SB-2, to register common stock and
warrants issuable upon the conversion of the notes, no later than
150 days after the issue date of the Convertible Notes. This
deadline was not met and, as such, the investors served a notice of
default to the Company on July 19, 2001. The Registration Statement
was never declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and was eventually withdrawn. Thus, the Convertible
Notes cannot be converted to Common Stock nor may the Common Stock
warrants be exercised. On April 24, 2002 the Company entered into a
Settlement Agreement with the Note holders. The Company was forced
to default on this Settlement Agreement. Accordingly, the terms of
the Convertible Notes have become effective once again. 8,371,597
collateral common shares provided to the investors were the
property of former Tirex Director, Louis A, Sanzaro, now deceased.
The shares due to Louis A. Sanzaro have been issued during the
quarter ended September 30, 2008 to a family member. The collateral
shares provided by Louis V. Muro, 1,723,514 common shares, were
replaced during the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The
collateral shares provided by John L. Threshie Jr., 1,891,204
shares, were replaced during the quarter ended December 31,
2008.

Since Fiscal year 2006, the expenses of the
Company have been funded by a series of non-interest bearing
convertible loans with no specific terms of repayment made by a
significant number of individuals investing modest amounts for a
grand total of U.S.$206,300. These investors, fully cognizant of
the Company’s situation and so documented in writing, accepted that
their investments were being made and represented by a convertible
debt, the conversion of which could occur only once the Company
would have shares available for issuance. These debts are
convertible at fixed prices rather than as a discount to
market.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Convertible loans include amounts primarily due
to Directors, Officers and employees. Historically, such amounts
due have been repaid through the issuance of stock. At March 31,
2009 and June 30, 2008, the balances owing to Directors and
Officers was $2,227,744 and $2,609,429, respectively. These amounts
are without interest or terms of repayment.
Long-term deposits and notes at June 30, 2008
included an amount of $118,500 which was payable to Ocean Tire
Recycling & Processing Co., Inc., a company previously owned by
a former Director of the Company, Louis A. Sanzaro, deceased
approximately 30 months ago. The Company negotiated a Settlement
Agreement with the family of Louis A. Sanzaro with respect to the
note representing $118,500, lease obligations and other expenses
paid by Mr. Sanzaro, under which the Company would issue a total of
50,000,000 shares. 35,500,000 million shares were issued during the
quarter ended September 30, 2008. There thus remains 14,500,000
million shares to be issued. As part of the share issuance during
the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the note of 118,500 has been
eliminated. The balance owing as part of the Settlement Agreement,
at March 31, 2009, is included in Convertible Loans.
Note 10

During the year ended June 30, 2004, an Officer
of the Company exercised stock options pursuant to a services
agreement. The exercise of these stock options entitled the Officer
to 1,500,000 common shares of the Company on a cash-less basis.
These shares were issued during the first quarter of Fiscal year
2009.
On January 31, 2001, the Company's stockholders

LITIGATION
An action was instituted by Plaintiffs, an
individual and a corporation, in a Canadian court alleging a breach
of contract and claims damages of approximately $508,600
representing expenses and an additional approximate amount of
$1,874,000 in loss of profits. The current action follows two
similar actions taken in United States courts, the first of which
was withdrawn and the second of which was dismissed based on forum
non convenience and other considerations. A detailed answer has
been filed by the Company denying all liability, stating further
that Plaintiffs failed to comply with their obligations. Counsel
for the Company believes that the Company has meritorious defenses
to all of the Plaintiff's claims. The action is still pending.
A Plaintiff instituted an action, a corporation,
in August 2001 in a Canadian court claiming approximately $63,000
is due and owing for the manufacture and delivery of tire
disintegrators. The Company has prepared its defense and a cross
claim against the Plaintiff as the product delivered was defective
and the Company believes it is entitled to a reimbursement of sums
paid. The action is still pending.
An action was instituted by a Plaintiff, the
Company’s landlord, against the Company in June 2001 for arrears of
rent in the amount of approximately $113,900. Subsequent additions
to arrearages with respect to rent and property taxes raised the
amount due to approximately $560,000. A settlement agreement with
the former landlord is in place, under the terms of which the
Company would pay to the former landlord the sum of $140,000 from
the proceeds to the Company of revenues from the first four sales
of TCS Systems.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS – ISSUANCE OF TWENTY-ONE (21) MILLION COMMON SHARES
AND SUNSEQUENT INCREASE OF COMMON SHARE AUTHORIZATION TO
1,500,000,000 COMMON SHARES, SINGLE SERIES
In April 2009, the Company authorized the
issuance of twenty-one (21) million common shares resulting from a
request to convert promissory notes held by a person who is not an
affiliate of the Tirex Corporation, as that term is defined.
Following this issuance, the total number of common shares of The
Tirex Corporation became 999,992,216 common shares, single
series.
On May 7, 2009, the Board of Directors resolved
to increase the common share authorization to 1,500,000,000 shares,
single series. The resolution was approved by a majority of votes
on May 8, 2009. The relevant documents were filed with the State of
Delaware.

could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected.
In March 2000, we announced that our tire
recycling technology prototype was ready for replication and
commercialization. Our technology has been upgraded and refined
since that year 2000 date. The intellectual property owned by Tirex
comprises the patented fracturing mill (both US and Canadian
patents) and the rubber freezing process using
economically-attractive cold air instead of the outdated and
expensive liquid nitrogen-based processes. This permits the
effective separation of the materials components of the tires, and
this at a significant cost saving. The intellectual property of our
process is recognized in the Manufacturing License Agreement we
have with Simpro www.simpro.it
. Our patent renewals for both the USA and Canada have both been
completed.
Since the March 2000 announcement respecting the
commercial availability of its TCS-1 model, Tirex worked to
complete the design of the TCS-2, the version of the technology
which processes two million tires per year, and has worked with its
manufacturing partner, Simpro S.p.A. of Turin, Italy, to refine the
technology and to create the possibility of auxiliary crumb rubber
processing to permit the production of much finer mesh crumb rubber
than the initial technology delivers. Under the Manufacturing
Agreement, any improvements to the TCS-2 revert to Tirex. These
refinements, at no significant additional cost to customers, allow
for access to higher-value crumb rubber markets which some
customers desire. The TCS-2 is now the primary model being offered
to customers for reasons of capital and operating cost efficiencies
per unit volume of output of finished product although inquiries
for TCS-3 and TCS-4 models have been entertained.
Concurrent with the continued technological
refinement of our technology, our primary objective has been to
conclude a first purchase and sales agreement of a TCS System. In
this regard, Tirex has responded to requests for information and
has engaged in negotiations with potential customers throughout the
world. Simultaneously, our manufacturing partner, Simpro, which
also has a non-exclusive marketing agreement, has been actively
negotiating with numerous potential customers.
Over the last eighteen months Tirex has explored
the New York market. Two primary groups have considered investing
in a New York TCS facility(s). The first group, representing
investors from India, after signing a letter of intent with Simpro,
could not come to agreeable terms with Tirex. The second group of
prominent North American developers is currently doing its due
diligence on New York and other overseas projects, including
Ireland, and has recently met with Simpro and Tirex. It has been
represented to us that both the American and Irish interests have
significant financial resources to support the purchase of one or
more TCS Systems. This group has already been in contact with
Simpro and has proposed, among other things, that they would supply
their own front end to the system (everything up to the freezing
chamber) and Simpro is reportedly amenable to this concept. The
Tirex technology does not involve any of the front-end systems.
Supplying their own front end would obviously cause an appreciable
reduction in the Euro cost of equipment to be supplied and
installed by Simpro.
15
With the recent upheavals in world financial
markets and appreciable credit squeezing, it is clear that we
cannot assure that this project will be consummated quickly, if at
all. Insofar as none of the above opportunities have reached the
point of being actual agreements, we cannot offer any guarantees
that any of the above will actually result in formal contracts.
In the context of the information being provided
to potential customers, we point out to these persons or entities
that the original TCS-1 prototype located in Montreal has been
disassembled and that the patented fracturing mill is currently
physically located in Italy for reference in research and
development purposes. These customers are also provided copies of
videotapes, which include, among other things, a visual
demonstration of the prototype actually in use. In addition, these
customers are provided with documentation as to the various
accreditations and attestations as to the effectiveness of the TCS
technology, this documentation coming entirely from independent
sources, including private sector engineering firms, public sector
government agencies and internationally-accredited technical
universities. Customers are also offered the free-of-charge
possibility to obtain tailor-made pro-forma financial forecasts for
their specific region, based on an adjustable financial model
created by our Chief Financial Officer, which allows for the input
of local economic costing of goods and services, local taxation
conditions, and various loan and depreciation scenarios.
Despite this important quantity of
substantiation of the effectiveness of the TCS technology and the
substantial offers of assistance in the development of the business
plans for these customers, the conclusion of the first purchase and
sales agreement has proven elusive. Our manufacturing partner,
Simpro, has succeeded in putting into place a limited performance
guarantee with respect to the installations which it would
accomplish, and this performance guarantee, backed by a major
international insurance company, is offered to potential customers.
Even with performance guarantees, conclusion of an agreement has
been difficult. At issue is that Tirex is not in a position to
simply sell new technology systems into an established industry.
Also with Simpro selling its systems in Euros, and considering the
appreciation of the Euro versus US Dollar, North American sales
have proven very difficult. Most potential customers are confronted
with the reality of becoming involved in a recycling industry which
has complexities not found in other industrial sectors. To screen
inquiries from potential customers and to assist them in their own
decision-making process as to whether or not they want to really
participate in this industrial sector, Tirex routinely sends out a
questionnaire to such persons pertaining to the key success factors
of their proposed initiative to ascertain their readiness and
capability to become involved in such activities. While
negotiations on several fronts have progressed to an advanced
stage, as of March 31, 2009, no unconditional contracts had been
concluded.
Management attributes the difficulty in
concluding a sale primarily to the historical lack of a long-term
track record of the system, to the lack of a demonstration unit to
establish the visual confirmation for customers that the technology
actually works as represented and to current economic and credit
conditions. While the video of the prototype creates interest, it
would appear that, by itself, it cannot replace the visual impact
of a functioning fracturing mill. The approximate installed cost of
a complete TCS-2, from front-end to crumb packaging, is
approximately 5,500,000 Euros (currently, approximately US$7.21
million using the exchange rate of March 19, 2009…1 Euro =
US$1.3110, which is a lot of money for most entrepreneurs or their
financial backers for unproven long-term technology, and
particularly in the context of global financial and credit
difficulties. The project cost is not limited to the acquisition
cost of the TCS. Depending somewhat on the location, we consider
that the entrepreneur is facing a total investment cost of
approximately US$8 million to US$9 million, taking into account
preproduction and early production losses, local infrastructure
costs, freight an in-transit insurance, local labor, permits, and a
reasonable allocation for working capital to support early
operations. There could also be import duties on equipment imported
from Europe.
16
Tirex continues to be listed on the Internet
Recycling Exchange, combined with our web site, www.tirex-tcs.com , and Mr. Threshie’s
network, it continues to generate interest on a global basis. What
appears to be quite clear is the desire to acquire new technologies
to replace existing technologies which are either being phased out
by evolving government regulations or which are not economically
viable in the absence of tire recycling subsidies. Furthermore,
government subsidies and focus, as is the case in New York, are
towards technologies that can produce higher value added recycled
products.
The Agreement with Simpro means that the gross
revenues from sales will be recorded on Simpro’s books, not in the
books of Tirex, unless Simpro refuses the contract at which time
the gross revenues would be recorded by Tirex. The amount remitted
back to Tirex will take the form of a royalty and will be accounted
for as such. Regardless of the contract structure and the
accounting effects which result, generally accepted accounting
principles in effect in the USA have the effect that the revenues
to Tirex resulting from such transactions will not be recognizable
until the systems will have been accepted by the customers. Given
the time line required to manufacture, install and have accepted
these systems, it is impossible that any revenues would become
recognizable, from the point of view of US Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, during our fiscal year which will end June
30, 2009. While the Company will benefit from the periodic cash
inflows resulting from progress payments during the next
approximately ten months, the royalty will, in fact, not have been
earned until the systems are accepted by the customers.
Since Fiscal 2006, the expenses of our company
were funded by a series of loans made by a significant number of
individuals investing modest amounts totaling approximately
US$200,500 to March 31, 2009. Each investment was made through
Tirex President, John L. Threshie Jr., and insofar as Tirex did not
have shares to issue at that time, these investors, fully cognizant
of our situation, and so documented in writing, accepted that their
investment was being made via Mr. Threshie and represented a
convertible debt, the conversion of which could occur once Tirex
would have shares available for issuance. To March 31, 2009,
approximately 53,711,429 shares were involved. This convertible
debt was priced at fixed prices rather than as a discount to
market. These shares have now all been issued. The funds were lent
directly to Mr. Threshie rather than to Tirex directly, with Mr.
Threshie then paying personally the expenses of Tirex, which
expenses were duly recorded in our accounts, offset by a liability
to him. As these private placement shares have been and continue to
be issued. Shares have been issued to Mr. Threshie in compensation
for Tirex expenses paid by him, the liability on our books toward
Mr. Threshie is thus being progressively reduced with the goal of
eventual extinguishing of this liability.
In addition to the above liability for shares,
Tirex had been liable for the replacement of 11,986,315 shares
which were delivered as collateral by Tirex Directors, Threshie,
Muro and Sanzaro (now deceased, and thus the shares due to his
estate) for the $750,000 of convertible debt contracted for in
2001, which shares were sold by the debt holders. These collateral
shares were replaced during fiscal 2009.
17
In February of 2001, we concluded a private
financing with an investor group. Under the terms of the Agreement,
we had the contractual right to require the Investor to purchase up
to US$5,000,000 of put notes. We drew down US$750,000 of this
amount and used the proceeds of this financing toward legal and
consulting fees due, normal operating expenses such as payroll,
rent and taxes and the acquisition of equipment for our prototype
TCS-1 Plant. In July of 2001, the Company entered into a technical
default with respect to the Agreement by not having an SB-2
Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC. After several
months of negotiations, the Company entered into a Settlement
Agreement with the Investor Group which provided for a cash pay
down of the amount owed, including interest and penalties over a
period of approximately two years starting with the date the
Settlement Agreement was signed, the right of the Investor Group to
continue to be able to sell up to 600,000 collateral and Rule 144
shares per month and the issuance of three series of warrants,
500,000 each, exercisable at prices of one cent, five cents and ten
cents over a three year period. This Settlement Agreement was
announced in April of 2002, and details of the terms of the
Agreement are filed as an Exhibit to this Report. The Company, in
the absence of having completed its first sales of TCS Systems
according to our expectations, was unable to generate the cash flow
necessary to pay down the Convertible Note in accordance with the
terms of the Settlement Agreement. Thus, the Company once again
finds itself in a position of default. Numerous recourses are
available to the holders of the Convertible Notes, but to date,
these recourses have not been exercised. Such recourses can be
exercised at any time and the fact that they have not been
exercised so far does not preclude their being exercised now or in
the future. The Company has kept the Convertible Note holders
apprised of its efforts to sell TCS Systems and thus restart the
repayments on the Convertible Notes. The collateral shares provided
by the directors, totaling approximately 11,986,000 shares, were
sold by the investors.
In the
first half of fiscal 2009, the company’s financial statements for
the fiscal years ended 2004 through 2007 inclusive were audited and
amended forms 10-KSB were filed accordingly. We accumulated the
cash required to pay the auditors to release the fiscal 2008 audit
report, a legal requirement, after which an amended 10-KSB for
fiscal 2008 was filed. In the meantime, the company’s shares have
been elevated from the gray market to the pink sheets. Now with the
fiscal 2008 audited statements having been released and the amended
10-KSB filed, and once the amended 10-Q reports for December 2008
and March 2009 will have been filed, Tirex intends to apply for
re-instatement onto the Bulletin Board. While management sees no
reason why such reinstatement would be refused, management cannot
guarantee that such re-instatement will, in fact, be
approved.
Because of the lengthy delay preceding the
commencement of commercial operations, we have historically had to
cover our overhead costs from sources other than from commercial
revenues. We expect that some portion of our future overhead costs,
which may be significant, will continue to be covered from sources
other than commercial revenues. Since March of 2003, our monthly
our-of-pocket cash costs have been reduced to relatively
inconsequential amounts, and thus our requirement to find financial
resources to fund operations has been minimal. Our greatest
expense, from an accounting standpoint, is for salaries. These
salaries have not actually been paid for several years, but rather
set up as payables. Some of these accrued salaries were translated
into convertible promissory notes. Our cash flow deficit condition
will continue until such time as the Company will start generating
revenues from the sale of TCS Systems. Until we can succeed in
securing an unconditional sales contract for the sale of one or
more systems employing our technology, the company will not be
engaging any significant financial commitments and will not be
engaging in any significant research and development activities nor
increasing employment.
Since the third quarter of Fiscal 2008,
Management has devoted substantial time and efforts to restructure
the Balance Sheet of the Corporation and to position the company
for release from the gray sheets and elevation to the Pink Sheets,
with an ultimate goal of seeing its securities listed once again on
the OTC Bulletin Board. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2008
and during the first quarter of Fiscal 2009, booked liabilities in
excess of one million dollars were written off as a function of the
Statute of Limitations and other liabilities were converted to
equity through the issuance of stock. During the fourth quarter of
Fiscal 2008, Tirex engaged the services of Moore & Associates
to undertake the audit of our annual accounts for the years ended
June 30, 2004 through 2007 inclusive and to continue with an
additional mandate for the audit of our Fiscal 2008 accounts and to
undertake the required Review Engagements for our Fiscal 2009
quarterly reports. This new certifying accountant released its
audit opinions for the fiscal years 2004 through 2007 inclusive in
October 2007. We prepared and filed amended 10-KSB Reports for
these fiscal years. Moore & Associates completed the audit of
our financial statements for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2008,
but could not release the audit report until the invoices for
previous years would have been fully paid. Now done, an amended
10-KSB was filed.
18
Concurrently, the company engaged the services
of consultants to assist us in getting our stock listed on the Pink
Sheets. The efforts of this consultant and the market maker engaged
by him were successful in that our stock was officially re-listed
on the Pink Sheets on October 24, 2008. We intend that, once the
2008 financial statements are audited, an amended 10-KSB filed, and
amended 10-Q quarterly reports filed to make us fully-reporting, we
will apply for a further elevation of our listing to the OTC
Bulletin Board. We can offer no guarantees that such an application
will be accepted.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had total
assets of $25,001 as compared to $25,001 at June 30, 2008
reflecting a change of Nil. There were no changes in the value of
individual assets, representing Property and Equipment and Patents
from June 30, 2008 to March 31, 2009.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had total
liabilities of $4,190,562 as compared to $5,126,083 at June 30,
2008, reflecting a decrease in liabilities of $935,521. Total
liabilities at June 30, 2008 had reflected a previous increase of
$413,985 over $4,712,098 in total liabilities at June 30, 2007. The
decrease in total liabilities from June 30, 2008 to March 31, 2009
is primarily attributable to: (i) a decrease in Accounts Payable
and Accrued Liabilities in the amount of $165,549 from $1,478,922
as of June 30, 2008 to $1,313,373 as of March 31, 2009, and (ii) a
decrease in Long-Term Deposits and Convertible Notes in the amount
of $237,000 from $306,000 as of June 30, 2008 to $69,000 as of
March 31, 2009, and (iii) a decrease in Convertible Loans in the
amount of $522,876 from $2,756,216 as of June 30, 2008 to
$2,233,340 as of March 31, 2009.
Reflecting the foregoing, the financial
statements indicate that as at March 31, 2009, the Company had a
working capital deficit (current assets minus current liabilities)
of $1,313,373 and that as at June 30, 2008, the Company had a
working capital deficit of $1,478,922, a working capital deficit
decrease of $165,549. There were no changes in current assets, as
noted above, while there were reductions to current liabilities due
to third parties represented by Accounts Payable and Accrued
Liabilities.
The financial statements, which are included in
this report, reflect total operations and other expenses of
$413,130 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2009, which
reflects an increase of $86,487 over the nine month period ended
March 31, 2008 when total operations and other expenses were
$326,643. The Company has ceased Research and Development
activities thereby resulting in a significant decrease in personnel
expenses and other Research and Development expenses compared with
prior periods.
The success of the tire recycling manufacturing
business and the ability to continue as a going concern will be
dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain adequate
financing to commence profitable, commercial manufacturing and
sales activities and the TCS Systems’ ability to meet anticipated
performance specifications on a continuous, long term commercial
basis.
19
The Company believes that the amounts accrued to
date in respect of the shares issued to compensate the executive
officers and consultants reflect the fair value of the services
rendered, and that the recipients of such shares received such
shares at an appropriate and reasonable discount from the then
current public market price. The Company believes that the discount
is warranted due to the fact that there are often restrictions on
the transfer of said shares arising out of the absence of
registration, and the uncertainty respecting our ability to
continue as a going concern.
From inception (July 15, 1987) through December
31, 2008, the Company has incurred a cumulative net loss of
$30,817,471. Approximately $1,057,356 of such cumulative net loss
was incurred prior to the inception of the Company’s present
business plan, in connection with the Company’s discontinued
proposed health care business and was due primarily to the
expending of costs associated with the unsuccessful attempt to
establish such health care business. The Company never commenced
the proposed health care operations and therefore, generated no
revenues therefrom.
Item 3 -
Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation
of its Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s principal
executive officer, and its Chief Financial Officer, who is the
Company’s principal financial officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
as of March 31, 2009. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective
in alerting them in a timely manner to material information
relating to The Tirex Corporation, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, required to be included in this report and the other
reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008-09,
there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting that have materially affected, or that are
reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over
financial reporting.
