- Balance Sheet: Total liabilities decreased from $51,353,761 at December 31, 2016, to $0 at September 30, 2017. Consequently, the Stockholders' Deficit was reduced from $(51,353,761) to $0.

- Going Concern: The filing explicitly states that the Company has no cash on hand and raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
- Future Strategy: Management intends to research technological opportunities in the waste-to-energy (W-T-E) marketplace and develop Santa Clara WasteWater Company (SCWW) as the foundation of its core business in non-hazardous wastewater treatment.
- Controls and Procedures: Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2017, due to the Company's dormant status from 2010 to 2021.
- Risk Factors: No material changes to previously disclosed risk factors were reported. The Company is subject to ordinary course legal proceedings but believes they will not have a material adverse effect.
