Major Upcoming Catalyst:
The Company is presently in discussions with several large industry players and expects to enter into commercialization agreements with them near term and is targeting to generate revenues in the range of $8M to $10M with net income of between $2.5M and $3.3M for this fiscal year of 2014 would would be a substantial addition to its fiscal structure.
Exclusive Licenses:
Green Polyurethane™ coatings and paint are exclusively licensed to Hybrid Coating Technologies for the North American and European markets.

Hybrid’s patented technology is the only formulation in the world today that produces polyurethane without the use of any isocyanates in the entire production process another reason they make a great buyout candidate for a larger corporation looking to seriously exploit the industry.
The Problem of Conventional Coatings/Paint and Isocyanates
Conventional polyurethane (PU) paint and coatings have many disadvantages: they are porous, permeable and maintain poor hydrolytic stability. This makes the material highly vulnerable to environmental degradation and ultimately leads to their chemical decomposition, especially when in contact with water. Even worse, the manufacture of conventional polyurethane involves highly toxic components such as isocyanates, which can cause irritation of skin and mucous membranes, chest tightness, difficult breathing, upset stomach, fevers and prolonged exposure has been known to cause severe asthma and even death.
Since conventional polyurethanes contain isocyanates, very strict health and safety measures related to their use must be taken. In addition, special measures for the preparation of fillers for paints and coatings must be taken since isocyanates are very sensitive to moisture. Both of these issues lead to a highly regulated and costly working environment. On the other hand, it is not necessary to address any of these issues with Green Polyurethane™ since no isocyanates are used at any stage of the production or application process – making it hundreds of times less toxic than conventional PU.
Current global trends toward more environmentally sound products and new legislative restrictions on the use of hazardous materials and their chemical by-products pose formidable obstacles to conventional polyurethane manufacturers. Governmental health agencies and workers unions are beginning to actively speak out and regulate against the dangers of isocyanates in the workplace.
The Green Polyurethane™ Solution
Green Polyurethane™ (also referred to as “HNIPU” - hybrid non-isocyanate polyurethane) is a “hybrid” material, which combines the high chemical resistance properties of epoxy and advanced durability and wear resistance properties of polyurethane, making it the perfect application for protecting high traffic and corrosive surface areas, especially those with higher safety and sanitary application requirements. Due to its 100% solids, specific curing formulation, Green Polyurethane ™ can be applied in one layer (depending on substrate), providing a welcome cost-saving substitute to currently used multi-layered flooring systems. Green Polyurethane™ also provides the first sound solution to the environmental and health hazards associated with isocyanates in polyurethane. Its zero isocyanate, zero VOC safety features allow it to be applied without the interruption of business due to public exposure, creating a 30-60% savings on application costs for customers.
