Withum details JBI progress in 10-K

"In May 2010, IsleChem engineered and had manufactured a simple solution to separate diesel and gasoline fractions into separate fuel tanks to remove the gasoline fraction from our diesel-like fuel. IsleChem is presently testing this solution with various plastic feedstock and it will be scaled to work on our 20T Plastic2Oil processor. The Company will not delay work and testing for an air permit by waiting for a large scale gas/diesel separator."

"On December 22, 2009, the Company and Rick Heddle agreed to a Joint Venture whereby Heddle Marine Service, Inc. will retrofit ships with P2O processors. The Company is now finalizing a JV Agreement for production of its first P2O ship with Heddle. JBI anticipates contracting with various countries to convert their plastic waste into oil. Also, JBI has signed an Area Development Agreement (ADA) for 45 P2O sites in the State of Florida with AS PTO, LLC, an entity controlled by Al Sousa of Largo, Florida. Both Heddle and Sousa have strong management capabilities and are expected to be essential to the scaling up of a nationwide P2O launch."

"JBI continues to maintain its data recovery and migration business through the use of its tape drives. It currently has a mobile data container that can be deployed to transfer data onsite for customers with highly sensitive data. It acquired tape drives, servers, and the mobile data container through the acquisition of certain assets from John Bordynuik, Inc. The Company has a large backlog of tapes to be migrated and is seeking strategic partnerships with international companies that will allow the Company to realize tape revenues faster, thereby decreasing the backlog."

"In 2010, the Company assembled its 20T Plastic2Oil processor at its P2O factory in Niagara Falls, NY. The Company purchased a shredder and granulator to preprocess bulk plastic. A complete automation system with 63 sensors was installed on the Plastic2Oil processor for control, data logging, and management. The processor was run to gather operational steady state data for a stack test. Oxygen sensors supplied by a major US sensor manufacturer failed when exposed to the process over time and delayed our permit application process. A number of oxygen sensors were tested until a suitable replacement was found. Sensors on the processor are now functioning properly"

"The Company has also been focusing on restructuring the Philadelphia plant and revised the business plan for growth into the retail market. Management is going forward with a full retail rollout of Pak-It products. The company engaged Western Creative Inc. on January 12, 2010 to assist in planning and marketing the retail launch. In anticipation of increased demand for product from the retail launch, management is also reconfiguring the plant and updating its equipment

We also procured a 20 MT (metric ton) Plastic2Oil Processor and are now developing all aspects of the process from procurement, to automated systems of feeding, processing, and collecting oil."

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated the 2009 financial statements to correct the accounting for business acquisitions and stock issuances. The effects of this restatement are disclosed in Note 2.
