Pet
Ecology Brands, Inc.
Notes
to Unaudited Financial Statements
September
30, 2007
Note
1 – Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited interim
financial statements of Pet Ecology Brands, Inc. (“PEB”), have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of
America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes
thereto
contained in PEB’s Registration statement on Form SB-2. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results
of
operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected
herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially
duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements
for
fiscal year 2006, as reported in PEB’s Registration Statement on Form SB-2 have
been omitted.
Pet
Ecology Brands,
Inc.
Notes
to Unaudited Financial
Statements
September
30, 2007
Note
2 – Going
Concern
As
shown in the accompanying financial
statements, PEB incurred a net loss of $1,439,656 in the first nine
months of
2007 and has an accumulated deficit of $15,567,023 and a working capital
deficit
of $1,281,466 as of September 30, 2007. These conditions raise
substantial doubt as to Pet Ecology Brands, Inc.’s ability to continue as a
going concern. Management is attempting to secure additional capital
through
sales of common and preferred stock to mitigate the working capital
deficit as
well as reduce the accumulated deficit; however, there can be no assurance
that
PEB will be successful in raising additional capital or in expanding
its sales
or operating cash flow. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if Pet Ecology Brands, Inc. is
unable to
continue as a going concern.
Note
3 – Notes
Payable
Notes
payable at September 30, 2007
consisted of notes payable to related parties in the amount of
$656,440. Various officers and shareholders made loans to PEB in the
form of cash advances to or payments on behalf of PEB. All of these
loans are
unsecured and originated in periods prior to December 31, 2005. These
loans
carry interest rates ranging from 5% to 12%. Interest has been imputed
at a rate
of 9% on related party loans that do not have a stated interest
rate. In addition, accrued interest outstanding on these notes was
$138,903 at September 30, 2007.

Note
4 – Common Stock and Warrants
Outstanding
PEB
is authorized to issue 200,000,000
shares of $0.001 par value common stock. All the outstanding common
stock is
fully paid and non-assessable. Each share of common stock is entitled
to one
vote.
On
October 4, 2007, PEB’s board of
directors declared a twelve-for-one reverse stock split of the common
stock.
Accordingly, all references to number of shares, except shares authorized,
and
to per share information in the financial statements have been adjusted
to
reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.

Note
5 – Tricon Holdings, L.L.C. and
Texas Atlantic Capital Partners, L.L.C.
In
2007, PEB entered into a stock
purchase agreement with Tricon Holdings, L.L.C. (“Tricon”) and Texas Atlantic
Capital Partners, L.L.C. (“Texas Atlantic”). Under the amended
agreement, which is effective June 30, 2007, Tricon and Texas Atlantic
agreed to
purchase shares of common stock equal to 51% of PEB’s total outstanding shares
for $1,350,000. The purchase is scheduled to occur in two closings.
In the first
closing, Tricon and Texas Atlantic transferred $500,000 of cash and
converted a
promissory note with a face amount of $200,000, together with accrued
interest
thereon, for 4,250,000 shares of common stock.
The
second closing occurred on October
12, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the amended agreement, Tricon and
Texas Atlantic paid additional consideration of $650,000, of which
$500,000 was
cash and $150,000 represented the assumption of a promissory note entered
into
in March 2007 with a one year term. In return, PEB issued 6,061,864
of shares, giving Tricon and Texas Atlantic 51% of the fully-diluted
outstanding
shares on that date. In addition, Tricon and Texas Atlantic received
a
restricted warrant entitling them to purchase, at any time within sixty
months
following the issuance date of October 12, 2007 and payment of $1,000,000,
additional shares of common stock amounting to an undiluted 14% of
the then
outstanding common shares.
Concurrent
with the execution of the
stock purchase agreement, PEB, Tricon and Texas Atlantic entered
into a license
agreement (“Tricon License Agreement”), whereby (a)PEB granted to Tricon and
Texas Atlantic an exclusive, worldwide license (the “Tricon License”) to
manufacture and sell PEB products for home delivery, (b) Tricon and
Texas

Atlantic
agreed to pay PEB a royalty equal to twelve (12%) percent of the

Agreement, Tricon and Texas Atlantic have (a) formed Pet Ecology Direct,
and (b)
assigned to Pet Ecology Direct (i) the right to manufacture and sell
PEB
products pursuant to the Tricon License, and (ii) the obligation to

Note
6 – Commitments and
Contingencies
Litigation:
Pet
Ecology Brands, Inc. is a defendant
in a lawsuit alleging that it owes $580,000 to a plaintiff pursuant
to the terms
of two promissory notes. We intend to vigorously defend the litigation
and are
confident that no factual basis exists for the amounts alleged to be
owed under
the terms of these notes.

September
30, 2007
At
December 31, 2006, PEB was a
defendant in a lawsuit filed in the District Court of Dallas County,
Texas
alleging that stock certificates represented as being owned by the
plaintiffs
were wrongfully cancelled. The plaintiffs were seeking damages of $3,451,034.
In
June 2007, the suit was settled through the issuance of 33,334 shares
of common
stock and 29,167 warrants to purchase common stock. The shares and
warrants were valued at $180,755, which was accrued and expensed at
December 31,
2006. Weighted-average variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model
used to value these warrants include (1) 4.62% risk-free interest rate,
(2) 2
year expected warrants life, (3) 178% expected volatility, and (4)
zero expected
dividends.
In
2007, we entered into agreements with
trade and institutional creditors to settle outstanding amounts of
$755,401 for
$272,063 in cash. PEB realized a gain on settlement in the amount of
$483,338.
In
April 2007, PEB settled its bank loan
obligation by paying $25,000 in satisfaction of all principal and accrued
interest outstanding. In connection with this settlement, we realized
a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $88,313 in April
2007, which
represents the difference between the payment and the principal and
accrued
interest outstanding on the date of payment.
In
September 2007, we were sued by two
former employees. Both suits allege wrongful termination and seek
specific
performance related to the provisions of their respective employment
contracts.
The first suit alleges entitlement to monetary compensation of $160,000.
The
second suit alleges entitlement to monetary compensation of $250,000
and 166,667
shares of our common stock, as well as the continuation of medical
benefits
through November 6, 2008, the end of an alleged contract period.
One employee
was terminated in 2006 and the other in 2007. We intend to strongly
contest both
claims and believe that neither suit has merit nor the circumstances
leading to
the terminations obviate any claims.

Note
7 - Subsequent
Events
The
following events occurred subsequent to September 30, 2007.
Reverse
Stock
Split
As
described in Note 4, on October 4, 2007, PEB’s board of directors declared a
twelve-for-one reverse stock split of the company’s common stock. This created
sufficient common stock availability under PEB’s current authorization to issue
the shares necessary to allow for the completion on October 12, 2007
of the
Tricon Holdings LLC and Texas Atlantic Capital Partners LLC stock purchase
as
more fully described in Note 5.
Employment
Agreements
PEB
and
Ralph J. Steckel, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
agreed
to a five year employment agreement which was effective as of December
10, 2007.
Pursuant to such agreement, Mr. Steckel will (a) receive an annual
salary of
$120,000, (b) be granted options to purchase 2,250,000 shares of common
stock at
$1.80 per share (as to 1,250,000 shares of common stock underlying
these
options, the vesting periods have not yet expired) (c) receive an auto
allowance
of $500 per month, and (d) be entitled to various other benefits.
In
similar fashion, PEB and Robert J.
Salluzzo, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of
the Company,
have agreed to a three year employment agreement which was effective
as of
December 10, 2007. Pursuant to such agreement, Mr. Salluzzo will
(a) be paid an
annual salary of $120,000 (although Mr. Salluzzo is currently being
paid an
annual salary of $90,000) (b) be granted options to purchase 550,000
shares of
common stock at $1.80 per share (as to 450,000 shares of common stock
underlying
these options, the vesting periods have not yet expired), (c) receive
an auto
allowance of $500 per month and (d) be entitled to various other
benefits.

REPORT
OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the
Board of Directors
Pet
Ecology Brands, Inc.
Dallas,
Texas
We
have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Pet Ecology Brands, Inc.
as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the statements of operations, shareholders’
deficit, and cash flows for the two years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility
is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 Pet Ecology Brands,
Inc. as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows
for the two years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
Pet Ecology
Brands, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2
to the financial statements, Pet Ecology Brands has suffered recurring
losses
from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as
a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are
described in Note 2. The financial statements so not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes
to Financial Statements
Note
1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature
of operations
–
Pet Ecology Brands, Inc. (“PEB”), based in Dallas, Texas, and incorporated in
1996, has been developing, manufacturing, and marketing products for pets
that
are environmentally and technologically advanced, earth-friendly, and safe.
PEB’s focus to date has been on the creation of two lightweight, flushable
and
odor free cat litters, one of which is capable of indicating sickness.
In
addition, Pet Ecology has developed a line of fat free treats for dogs.
PEB
holds patents on its cat litter products and has patents pending on the
fat free
dog treats.
Use
of estimates
– In
preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions
that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheets
and
revenue and expenses in the Statements of Operations. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Cash
and cash
equivalents
– Cash and cash equivalents are composed of demand deposits
with banks and short-term cash investments with initial maturities of three
months or less.
Inventories
-
Inventories, consisting primarily of finished goods available for sale
and
packaging materials, are stated at the lower of cost or market, and determined
on the first-in, first-out method.
Revenue
recognition
–
Revenue is recognized
when title
and risk of loss have been transferred, collectibility is reasonably assured,
and pricing is fixed or determinable
, which occurs primarily when product
has been shipped.
Cost
of sales
- Cost
of sales consists primarily of all direct product costs including packaging
as
well as all associated costs of freight for shipment to a respective
customer.
Provision
for losses on
uncollectible receivables
- The provision for losses on uncollectible
accounts receivables are determined principally on the basis of specific
identification and past collection experiences. The allowance for doubtful
accounts on accounts receivable balances was $2,600 at December 31, 2006.
There
was no provision required as of December 31, 2005.
Property
and
equipment
– Property and equipment is valued at cost. Additions are
capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, which are three to seven years.
Impairment
of long-lived
assets
– Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not
be
recoverable in accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” If the carrying value of the
long-lived asset exceeds the undiscounted estimated future cash flows,
the asset
would be adjusted to its fair value and an impairment loss would be charged
to
operations in the period identified.
Concentration
of credit
risk
- Financial instruments which potentially subject us to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts
receivables.
Cash
and
cash equivalents are concentrated primarily in two banks in the United
States.
At times, such deposits could be in excess of insured limits. Management
believes that the financial institutions that hold PEB's financial instruments
are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk is believed
to exist
with respect to these financial instruments.
Credit
is
granted primarily based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition
and no collateral is required. Exposure to losses on these receivables
is
principally dependent on each customer’s financial condition. We control our
exposure to credit risk through monitoring procedures and the establishment
of
appropriate allowances for anticipated losses.
Pet
Ecology Brands, Inc.
Notes
to Financial Statements
Major
customers
– One major
customer comprised 20% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2006. There
were
no other customers that comprised greater than 10% of the total revenues
during
that period. Revenues in 2005 were not significant.
Basic
and diluted net loss
per share
– The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing
the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss
by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the impact of
potentially dilutive securities, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis.
For the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, potential dilutive securities had
an
anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted
net
loss per common share.
Fair
value of financial
instruments
- For financial instruments including cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable, it was
assumed
that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities
of such instruments.
Income
taxes
–
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences
between
the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the
enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the
differences are expected to be reversed. A valuation allowance is provided
for
deferred tax assets when realization of such assets is not considered
likely.
Stock-based
compensation
– Prior to January 1, 2005, stock-based employee compensation
arrangements were accounted for in accordance with the provisions of APB
No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related
interpretations and applied the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and
Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.”
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, which revises SFAS No. 123
"Accounting for Stock Based compensation," and supersedes APB No. 25 and
its
related interpretations. SFAS No. 123R requires recognition of the
cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity
instruments in the financial statements over the period the employee is
required
to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively the vesting
period). SFAS No. 123R also requires measurement of the cost of employee
services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair
value of
the award.
In
2005,
PEB elected to early-adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. As a result,
share-based compensation has been recognized using the fair-value model
of SFAS
No. 123R in the financial statements for 2006 and 2005.
Common
stock is issued as compensation to employees and outside consultants for
services rendered. These shares are measured based on the grant-date fair
value
of those equity instruments. That cost is recognized as compensation or
consulting expense over the requisite service period (often the vesting
period).
Employee
stock options issued for services:
The
weighted average fair value of the employee stock options granted during
fiscal
2006 and 2005 was $0.84 and $2.04, respectively. For 2006, the
weighted-average variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
include (1) 4.7% risk-free interest rate, (2) 5.0 year expected option
life, (3)
223% expected volatility, and (4) zero expected dividends. For 2005,
the weighted-average variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model
include (1) 4.3% risk-free interest rate, (2) 1.9 year expected option
life, (3)
279% expected volatility, and (4) zero expected dividends.
Pet
Ecology Brands, Inc.
Notes
to Financial Statements
Stock
warrants issued for services:
The
weighted average fair value of the stock warrants granted for services
during
fiscal 2006 and 2005 was $2.04 and $2.04, respectively. For 2006, the
weighted-average variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
for
2006 include (1) 4.9% risk-free interest rate, (2) 0.6 year expected warrant
life, (3) 246% expected volatility, and (4) zero expected dividends. For
2005,
the weighted-average variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model
include (1) 4.3% risk-free interest rate, (2) 4.5 year expected warrant
life,
(3) 278% expected volatility, and (4) zero expected dividends.
Recently
issued accounting
pronouncements
– We do not expect the adoption of recently issued
accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of
operations, financial position or cash flow.
Note
2 – Going Concern
As
shown
in the accompanying financial statements, PEB incurred net losses of $6,510,770
and $3,996,701 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively,
and
has an accumulated deficit of $14,127,367 and a working capital deficit
of
$2,108,556 as of December 31, 2006. In addition, PEB defaulted on a bank
loan.
These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Pet Ecology Brands, Inc.’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Management is attempting to secure
additional capital through sales of common and preferred stock to mitigate
the
working capital deficit as well as reduce the accumulated deficit; however,
there can be no assurance that PEB will be successful in raising additional
capital or in expanding its sales or operating cash flow. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
if
Pet Ecology Brands, Inc. is unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes
to Financial Statements
On
February 1, 2002, a loan agreement was entered into with a local bank to
borrow
$69,535. The loan, which is secured by our accounts receivables and the
personal
guarantees of corporate officers, was due on March 31, 2003 and is currently
in
default. The loan carried an annual fixed interest rate of 9% and “post maturity
rate” of 18%. Subsequent to the initial borrowing, the bank loaned an additional
$5,000 to PEB, a portion of which was repaid in previous years. The principal
amount outstanding at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $72,997. In addition,
accrued interest on this loan was $36,831 and $23,863 at December 31, 2006
and
2005, respectively. (See Note 8)
Various
officers and shareholders made loans to PEB in the form of cash advances
to or
payments on behalf of PEB. All of these loans are unsecured and originated
in
periods prior to December 31, 2005. These loans carry interest rates ranging
from 5% to 12%. Interest has been imputed at a rate of 9% on related party
loans
that do not have a stated interest rate. The principal amount outstanding
on
related party notes at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $656,440 and $278,221,
respectively. In addition, accrued interest outstanding on these notes
was
$95,237 and $65,287 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Note
5 - Income Taxes
PEB
follows SFAS 109 to account for income taxes, where deferred tax assets
and
liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences
of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for
financial and income tax reporting purposes. The net deferred tax asset
generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative
net
operating loss carry-forward is $8,327,851 at December 31, 2006, and will
expire
in various years through 2026. The difference between the effective tax
rate and
the statutory tax rate is primarily due to the valuation allowance. Pursuant
to
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, a change in ownership of PEB
may
create limitations on the utilization of these net operating
losses.
Deferred
tax assets consisted of the following:

6 – Common Stock and Warrants Outstanding
PEB
is
authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock.
All the
outstanding common stock is fully paid and non-assessable. Each share of
common
stock is entitled to one vote.
On
October 4, 2007, PEB’s board of directors declared a twelve-for-one reverse
stock split of the common stock. Accordingly, all references to number
of
shares, except shares authorized, and to per share information in the financial
statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive
basis.
2005
equity transactions:
During
2005 the following common stock issuances were made:
For
services
– 717,480
shares of common stock were issued and valued at $1,429,265 based on the
quoted
market price of the stock on the date of grant.
For
cash
settled through reduction of existing debt
– Certain debt holders
participated in a
stock offering purchasing 476,191 shares under a subscription agreement
for
total proceeds of $542,857. These debt holders authorized PEB to
reduce its indebtedness to them by an amount equivalent to the proceeds
that PEB
would have otherwise received from their subscription. As a
result, outstanding debt was reduced by a total of $425,216. The excess
proceeds of $117,641 was recorded as a subscription receivable, which
was
collected in 2006.
Pet
Ecology Brands, Inc.
Notes
to Financial Statements
For
debt settlement
–
13,363 shares of common stock valued at $31,003 were issued in settlement
of
debt. The value of the shares was based upon the quoted market price
of the stock at the date of issuance.
For
cash
– 603,630 shares
of
common stock were issued for cash of $691,750. The price per share ranged
from
$0.84 per share to $3.00 per share. Additional shares were issued for
$536,464 in cash pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into in
2004. The
shares to be sold under this agreement were not fully subscribed, and
accordingly the unpaid balance of the shares issued under the subscription
agreement was returned and cancelled resulting in a cancellation of 311,281
shares valued at $1,413,456, which reduced common stock and additional
paid-in
capital by $311 and $1,413,145, respectively. The value was determined
using the
original subscription price.
In
addition, during 2005, the following options and warrants were
issued:
Options
to employees
–
50,333 stock options valued at $100,842 were issued to employees
for services.
The options vested immediately and the total value was recognized as expense
in
2005. The fair value of these options was determined using a Black-Scholes
model.
Warrants
to
non-employees
– 492,167 stock warrants valued at $1,009,903 were issued to
non-employees for services. The warrants vested immediately and the total
value
was recognized as expense in 2005. The fair value of these warrants was
determined using a Black-Scholes model.
Other
warrants – 823,810 warrants were issued in connection with stock offerings.
These warrants had a aggregate relative fair value of $526,233 on the date
of
issuance. The fair value of these warrants was determined using a
Black-Scholes model.
During
2006 the following common stock issuances were made:
For
services
– 743,652
shares of common stock valued at $1,395,744 based on the quoted market
price of
the stock on the date of grant.
For
cash settled through
reduction of existing debt
– Certain debt holders participated in a stock
offering purchasing 451,389 shares under a subscription agreement for total
proceeds of $1,000,000. In settlement for the purchased shares, the debt
holders
authorized PEB to reduce its indebtedness to them by an amount equivalent
to the
proceeds that PEB would have otherwise received from their
subscription. As a result, outstanding debt was reduced by
a total of $1,000,000.
For
cash
– 1,378,458
shares of common stock were issued for cash of $392,074. The price ranged
from
less than $0.12 per share to $1.44 per share.
In
addition, during 2006, the following options and warrants were
issued:
Options
to employees
–

Note
7 – Commitments and
Contingencies
Leases:
Approximately
11,369 square feet of
combined office and warehouse space is leased by PEB. The term of the
lease is
from January 1, 2003 to July 31, 2008. The payments required in the future
are
as follows: $58,695 in 2007 and $34,238 in 2008. These payments reflect
the most
recent proportionate share of the common area maintenance, taxes and
insurance,
however these charges are subject to change.
Litigation:
Pet
Ecology Brands, Inc. is a defendant
in a lawsuit alleging that it owes $580,000 to a plaintiff pursuant to
the terms
of two promissory notes. We intend to vigorously defend the litigation
and are
confident that no factual basis exists for the amounts alleged to be
owed under
the terms of these notes.
At
December 31, 2006, PEB was a
defendant in a lawsuit filed in the District Court of Dallas County,
Texas
alleging that stock certificates represented as being owned by the plaintiffs
were wrongfully cancelled. The plaintiffs were seeking damages of $3,451,034.
In
June 2007, the suit was settled through the issuance of 33,334 shares
of common
stock and 29,167 warrants to purchase common stock. The shares and
warrants were valued at $180,755, which was accrued and expensed at December
31,
2006. Weighted-average variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model
used to value these warrants include (1) 4.62% risk-free interest rate,
(2) 2
year expected warrants life, (3) 178% expected volatility, and (4) zero
expected
dividends.
At
December 31, 2006, PEB has also had
two judgments outstanding for non-payment of vendor invoices in the aggregate
amount of $31,800, all of which was accrued in accounts payable as of
December
31, 2006. Both judgments were settled in 2007 for
$31,800.
Note
8- Subsequent
Events
Tricon
Holdings, L.L.C. and Texas Atlantic Capital Partners, L.L.C.
Subsequent
to December 31, 2006, PEB
entered into a stock purchase agreement with Tricon Holdings,L.L.C. (“Tricon”)
and Texas Atlantic Capital Partners, L.L.C. (“Texas Atlantic”). Under
the amended agreement, which is effective June 30, 2007, Tricon and Texas
Atlantic agreed to purchase shares of common stock equal to 51% of PEB’s total
outstanding shares for $1,350,000. The purchase occurred in two
closings. In the first closing, Tricon and Texas Atlantic transferred
$500,000
of cash and converted a promissory note with a face amount of $200,000,
together
with accrued interest thereon, for 4,250,000 shares of common
stock.
The
second closing occurred on October
12, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the amended agreement, Tricon and
Texas Atlantic paid additional consideration of $650,000, of which $500,000
was
cash and $150,000 represented the assumption of a promissory note entered
into
in March 2007 with a one year term. In return, PEB issued 6,061,864
of shares, giving Tricon and Texas Atlantic 51% of the fully-diluted
outstanding
shares on that date. In addition, Tricon and Texas Atlantic received
a
restricted warrant entitling them to purchase, at any time within sixty
months
following the issuance date of October 12, 2007 and payment of $1,000,000,
additional shares of common stock amounting to an undiluted 14% of the
then
outstanding common shares.
Concurrent
with the execution of the
stock purchase agreement, PEB, Tricon and Texas Atlantic entered into
a License
Agreement (“Tricon License Agreement”), whereby (a) PEB granted to Tricon and
Texas Atlantic an exclusive, worldwide license (the “Tricon License”) to
manufacture and sell PEB products for home delivery, (b) Tricon and Texas
Atlantic paid to PEB the amount of $150,000, and (c) Tricon and Texas
Atlantic
agreed to pay PEB a royalty equal to twelve percent (12%) of the cost
manufacturing and packaging (but not shipping) any PEB products sold
under the
Tricon License.
In
connection with the Tricon License
Agreement, Tricon and Texas Atlantic have (a) formed Pet Ecology Direct,
and (b)
assigned to Pet Ecology Direct (i) the right to manufacture and sell
PEB
products pursuant to the Tricon License and (ii) the obligation to pay the
related royalties to PEB.
Employment
Agreements
Subsequent
to
September 30, 2007, PEB entered into employment agreements with two members
of
management.
PEB
and Ralph J.
Steckel, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, agreed
to a five
year employment agreement which was effective as of December 10,
2007. Pursuant to such agreement, Mr. Steckel will (a) be paid an
annual salary of $120,000, (b) be granted options to purchase 2,250,000
shares
of our common stock at $1.80 per share (as to 1,250,000 shares of common
stock
underlying these options, the vesting periods have not yet expired),
(c) receive
an auto allowance of $500 per month, and (d) be entitled to various other
benefits.
PEB
and Robert J.
Salluzzo, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company,
have agreed to a three year employment agreement which was effective
as of
December 10, 2007. Pursuant to such agreement, Mr. Salluzzo will (a)
be paid an annual salary of $120,000, (b) be granted options to purchase
550,000
shares of our common stock at $1.80 per share (as to 450,000 shares of
common
stock underlying these options, the vesting periods have not yet expired),
(c)
receive an auto allowance of $500 per month, and (d) be entitled to various
other benefits.

Warrants
issued in conjunction with stock offerings had a relative fair value of
$121,521.
Weighted-average
variables used in the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model used to value these warrants and options
include (1) 3.19 to 5.13% risk-free interest rate, (2) 1 to 5 year expected
warrants life, (3) 178 to 222% expected volatility, and (4) zero expected
dividends.
In
December 2007, PEB extended the
expiration date of 333,333 warrants held by an outside investor from
December
31, 2007 to January 31, 2008.
Litigation
and other matters
After
December 31, 2006, we entered into
agreements with trade and institutional creditors to settle outstanding
amounts
of $755,401 for $272,063 in cash. PEB realized a gain on settlement
in the amount of $483,338.
In
April 2007, PEB settled its bank loan
obligation by paying $25,000 in satisfaction of all principal and accrued
interest outstanding. In connection with this settlement, we realized
a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $88,313 in April 2007,
which
represents the difference between the payment and the principal and accrued
interest outstanding on the date of payment.
In
September 2007, we were sued by two
former employees. Both suits allege wrongful termination and seek specific
performance related to the provisions of their respective employment
contracts.
The first suit alleges entitlement to monetary compensation of $160,000.
The
second suit alleges entitlement to monetary compensation of $250,000
and 166,667
shares of our common stock, as well as the continuation of medical benefits
through November 6, 2008, the end of an alleged contract period. One
employee
was terminated in 2006 and the other in 2007. We intend to strongly contest
both
claims and believe that neither suit has merit and the circumstances
leading to
the terminations obviate any claims.
