ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On July 2, 2009, our wholly owned subsidiary Ecological Acquisition Corp. was merged into Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.) with Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.) being the sole surviving entity under the name Ecologic Sciences, Inc. and our company being the sole shareholder of the surviving entity. In connection with the closing of the merger, we issued an aggregate of 17,309,486 restricted shares of our common stock representing approximately 75.85% of the issued and outstanding shares of our company to the former shareholders of Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.).
The agreement and plan of merger, as amended, supersedes and replaces all prior agreements between the parties.
Following the completion of the acquisition of Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.), we are a development stage company that plans to be engaged in the rental of environmentally friendly hybrid electric and low-emission vehicles to the public. In connection with the closing of the acquisition of Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.), we have changed our head office location to 1333 Ocean Avenue, Suite D, Santa Monica, California 90401. See Description of Business, below.
RISK FACTORS
In addition to other information in this current report, the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business because such factors may have a significant impact on our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition. As a result of the risk factors set forth below, actual results could differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently consider to be immaterial, may also impact our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition. If any such risks occur, our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition could be materially affected in an adverse manner. Under such circumstances, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to our Business
We have a limited operating history, and it is difficult to evaluate our financial performance and prospects. There is no assurance that we will achieve profitability or that we will not discover problems with our business model.
We have a limited operating history. As such, it is difficult to evaluate our future prospects and performance, and therefore we cannot ensure that we will operate profitably in the future.
We have limited funds available for operating expenses. If we do not obtain funds when needed, we will have to cease our operations.
Currently, we have limited operating capital. As of June 1, 2009, our cash available was approximately $226,600. In the foreseeable future, we expect to incur significant expenses when developing our business. We may be unable to locate sources of capital or may find that capital is not available on terms that are acceptable to us to fund our additional expenses. There is the possibility that we will run out of funds, and this may affect our operations and thus our profitability. If we cannot obtain funds when needed, we may have to cease our operations.
Our business plan may not be realized.
Our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including inadequate working capital and a limited operating history. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development of a new business. Unanticipated events may occur that could affect the actual results achieved during the forecast periods. Consequently, the actual results of operations during the forecast periods will vary from the forecasts, and such variations may be material. In addition, the degree of uncertainty increases with each successive year
2
presented. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in the anticipated operation of our business plan. If our business plan proves to be unsuccessful, our business may fail and you may lose your entire investment.
We will need additional financing to expand our business, and to implement our business plan. Such financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
If we need funds and cannot raise them on acceptable terms, we may not be able to:
We will have to raise substantial additional capital if we wish to execute our business plan. There can be no assurance that debt or equity financing, or cash generated by operations, will be available or sufficient to meet our requirements. Additional funding may not be available under favorable terms, if at all.
We may be unable to predict accurately the timing and amount of our capital requirements. We have historically financed our activities through the sale of our equity securities, loans and from lines of credit. We may be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, bank loans, collaborative relationships or other arrangements. It is possible that banks, venture capitalists and other investors may perceive our capital structure or operating history as too great a risk to bear. As a result, additional funding may not be available at attractive terms, or at all. If we cannot obtain additional capital when needed, we may be forced to agree to unattractive financing terms, change our method of operations, curtail operations significantly, obtain funds through entering into arrangements with collaborative partners or others, or issue additional securities. Any future issuances of our securities may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.
Our success will depend on our newly assembled senior management team.
Our success will be largely dependent upon the performance of our senior management team. Investors must rely on the expertise and judgment of senior management and other key personnel. The failure to attract and retain individuals with the skill and experience necessary to execute our business plan could have a materially adverse impact upon our prospects. We currently do not have any key man insurance policies and have no current plans to obtain any; therefore, there is a risk that the death or departure of any director, member of management, or any key employee could have a material adverse effect on operations.
We face significant competition in the car rental industry.
The car rental business is highly competitive. We compete against a number of established rental car companies with greater marketing and financial capabilities. Our market specialization is the rental of hybrid electric and low-emissions cars. Although we believe that we will be the first rental company featuring predominately environmentally friendly cars, we may face difficulty competing against other car rental companies should they devote significant resources to such cars. There can be no assurance that one or more competitors may not initiate a rental business similar to ours, thus compromising the differentiating factor for us. Increased competition in the rental car industry may result in reduced operating margins, loss of market share and a diminished brand franchise. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against our competitors, and competitive pressures faced by us may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
We are dependent on fleet financing for acquiring cars.
Our ability to purchase and finance our proposed fleet of rental vehicles will depend on the calculation and assignment of risk for the resale value of the vehicles. There can be no assurance that the financing required to purchase and deploy cars will be available to us in order to meet business projections. Our failure to obtain financing for the acquisition of cars could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.
3
We may not maintain insurance sufficient to cover the full extent of our liabilities.
We intend to maintain various forms of insurance. However, such insurance has limitations on liability that may not be sufficient to cover the full extent of such liabilities. Also, such risks may not, in all circumstances, be insurable or, in certain circumstances, we may elect not to obtain insurance to deal with specific risks due to the high premiums associated with such insurance or other reasons. The payment of such uninsured liabilities would reduce the funds available to us. The occurrence of a significant event that we are not fully insured against, or the insolvency of the insurer of such event, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or prospects.
We may not be able to obtain all the necessary licenses and permits required to carry on our business activities.
Our operations may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry required business activities.
We may not be able to maintain the information technology and computer systems required to serve our customers.
Our reputation and ability to attract retain, and serve customers are dependent upon the reliable performance of our technology infrastructure and fulfillment processes. Interruptions or technical problems could make our systems unavailable to service customers and could diminish the overall attractiveness of our service to potential customers.
Risks Relating to Our Common Shares
Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common shares and make it difficult for our shareholders to resell their shares.
Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service. Trading in shares quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common shares for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of the shares.
Our share is a penny stock. Trading of our share may be restricted by the SECs penny stock regulations which may limit a shareholders ability to buy and sell our shares.
Our share is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the
4
shares that are subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common shares.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell our share.
In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our share.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common shares.

Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 30, 2005 under the name Heritage Explorations Inc. At inception, we were an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration of mineral properties. On August 6, 2006, we entered into a mineral property option agreement, wherein we were granted an option to acquire a 100% undivided right, title and interest in a total of 2 mineral claim units, known as the Strathy Township claim block, located in the Sudbury Mining Division of Ontario, Canada.
On November 1, 2007, based on information that we had available to us, we determined that the Strathy Township property did not, in all likelihood, contain a commercially viable mineral deposit, and we therefore terminated the option agreement. As a result, we investigated several other business opportunities to enhance shareholder value, and focused on the services sector of the oil and gas industry, specifically the provision of directional drilling services to international oil and gas companies, with emphasis on Ultra-Short Radius (USR), Short Radius (SR) and slim hole applications.
On April 16, 2008, we effected a six (6) for one (1) forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock, as approved by our board of directors. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 450,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. Our issued and outstanding share capital increased from 5,960,000 shares of common stock to 35,760,000 shares of common stock.
On June 20, 2008, we merged with our wholly owned subsidiary and changed our name to USR Technology, Inc. The change of name became effective with the OTC Bulletin Board of June 26, 2008 and our shares began trading under the symbol USRT.
Also on June 20, 2008, John L. Ogden resigned as President of the company and was appointed Chairman and J. David LaPrade was appointed as President and a Director. Mr. LaPrade has extensive experience in the oil and gas sector, specifically in the drilling of ultra short radius wells. He joined to lead the company in its deployment of USR, SR and other directional drilling services and proprietary well intervention technologies, including Rotary Steerable Tools and USR Mud Motors that are specifically designed to exploit remaining reserves, increase production from marginal wells, restore production from shut in wells and reduce water production. Effective July 1, 2008, we appointed Kamonchai Kesonpat as our Chief Operating Officer.
On August 22, 2008, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Shuayb K. Al Suleimany wherein we agreed to acquire certain assets consisting of a variety of drilling equipment including drill bits, stabilizers, survey equipment, and two wireline trucks including tools and related components. In consideration for the purchase of the assets, we agreed to issue 738,989 post split restricted shares of our common stock to Shuayb K Al Suleimany. The fair value of the equipment was approximately $738,989. The closing of the transaction described in the asset purchase agreement occurred on August 26, 2008.
On July 3, 2008, we entered into a letter of intent with Euroslot S.A.S., a French company, concerning the granting by Euroslot of a credit against the future supply of certain assets, called Snake ScreenTM (the Credit) and an exclusive 20 year worldwide license (the License), excluding France, Iran and Russia, to use and market the Snake ScreenTM technology. On September 26, 2008, we entered into the definitive asset purchase agreement and license agreement with Euroslot for the Credit and License. The closing of the transaction occurred on September 26, 2008. In consideration for the Credit and License, we issued 2,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock.
Effective September 17, 2008, we effected a three (3) old for one (1) new reverse stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital decreased from 450,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 150,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001and our issued and outstanding shares decreased from 37,976,967 shares of common stock to 12,658,989 shares of common stock. The reverse stock split became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on September 17, 2008 under the stock symbol USRI.
On November 10, 2008, J. David LaPrade resigned as President and a Director of the Company and Kamonchai Kesonpat resigned as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. As a result of the resignations of Mr. LaPrade and Mr. Kesonpat, John Ogden was appointed as President and remained as Chairman. From this time until the merger
6
with Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.) our board of directors consisted solely of John Ogden.
During our quarter ended November 30, 2008, we ceased drilling services operations pending the receipt of additional financing. We required equity financing from the sale of our common stock to be able to execute our business plan and continue to make further acquisitions. Our management was unable to secure additional financing and as a result our management investigated additional opportunities for our company in all industry sectors.
On April 26, 2009, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger, as amended, with Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.), a private Nevada corporation and Ecological Acquisition Corp., a private Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of our company. Ecological Acquisition Corp. was formed by our company for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.). Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, as amended, Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.) was to be merged with and into Ecological Acquisition Corp., with Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.) continuing after the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended:
effective June 11 2009, we effected a two (2) old for one (1) new reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital decreased from 150,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and our issued and outstanding shares decreased from 15,020,017 shares of common stock to 7,510,008 shares of common stock;
effective June 11, 2009, we changed our name from USR Technology, Inc. to Ecologic Transportation, Inc., by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary Ecologic Transportation, Inc., which was formed solely for the change of name. The name change and forward stock split became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on June 11, 2009 under the new stock symbol EGCT. Our new CUSIP number is 27888B 105;
certain of our pre-closing stockholders canceled 4,000,004 pre-consolidated shares of our common stock for no consideration for the purpose of making our capitalization more attractive to future equity investors; and
certain affiliates of our company cancelled an aggregate of $108,500 of debt at no consideration.
On July 2, 2009, Ecological Acquisition Corp. was merged into Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.) with Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.) being the sole surviving entity under the name Ecologic Sciences, Inc. and our company being the sole shareholder of the surviving entity.
History of Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formally Ecologic Transportation, Inc.)
Ecologic Sciences, Inc. was incorporated on December 16, 2008 and commenced operations on December 18, 2008. Ecologic Sciences, Inc. entered into a Lease Agreement on its office in Santa Monica, California in December 2008 to commence operations. Ecologic Sciences, Inc. retained Chase Mellen Esq. as its legal counsel and commissioned and received a full legal opinion as to the companys standing, legality of its stock issuance and conformity with all laws governing corporate formation in Nevada and California. The company offered William N. Plamondon III to become its Chief Executive Officer and a Director on January 8, 2009 and Mr. Plamondon accepted the offer and, effective January 30, 2009, the company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Plamondon whereby he will serve as the companys chief executive officer for a term of three years with an annual compensation of $420,000. Mr. Paul Christianson accepted an offer to become Vice President of Rental Car Operations and Ms. Erin E. Davis accepted an offer to become Vice President of Marketing. Ms. Davis was subsequently offered the position of Secretary and accepted the offer. The company hired Moore & Associates, Chartered Accountants and Advisors, a PCAOB registered auditor, to perform an audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008. The company subsequently retained the auditor to perform a quarterly review of the companys financial statements.

Copies of the companys financial statements are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Ecologic Sciences, Inc. engaged Audio Eye, Inc. a Santa Monica, California based interactive agency to build out its Internet presence with the Ecologic website which includes a home site, rental car site and a systems site. The company negotiated a fixed price of $180,000 for the web development, to be paid in the form of the companys common stock priced at $1.80 per share. The company entered into a separate Agreement with Audio Eye, Inc. to build out its Ecologic Talk Radio web portal for $90,000 to be paid in the form of the companys common stock. The talk radio media web portal will have online radio and video capabilities and be able to have U.S. and international distribution as well as the capability to be distributed through Apple Computers IPhone and other smart phone mobile technologies.
Business Subsequent to the Acquisition of Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.)
Our Business
As of the closing date of the agreement and plan of merger on July 2, 2009, we are a development stage company in the business of environmental transportation. We are structured with three primary operating units:
(a) |
rental car division: which will focus on an environmental rental car operation; |
|
(b) |
systems division: which will focus on an alternative energy operation charged with the development and management of enhancing gas stations with alternative clean energy options and solutions; and |
|
(c) |
products division: that will develop, acquire and license environmentally friendly products to be distributed by our rental car and systems divisions. |
Car Rentals
Currently, we intend to rent only environmentally friendly vehicles in the compact, full-size and sport-utility vehicle classes. We intend to rent cars on daily, multi-day, weekly and monthly basis. We expect that our primary source of revenue will consist of base time and mileage car rental fees which can include daily rates including mileage. We expect to also charge an additional fee for one-way rentals to and from specific locations. In addition to rental fees, we intend to sell other optional products to our customers, such as collision or loss damage waivers, supplemental liability insurance, personal effects coverage and gasoline.
Our customers will make rental reservations via our website, www.ecologictranspo.com, at our proposed partners websites, at the rental counter at any of our proposed locations, by phone, through several online travel websites that we intend to partner with or through a corporate account program in place with their employers.
We have held discussions with auto manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Toyota and Nissan about coupling green marketing initiatives with fleet sale programs.
Systems
We intend to develop and manage the greening of gas stations along with retrofitting them with alternative energy options and solutions. To build this infrastructure, we intend to provide turnkey management, installation, and integration of equipment procurement, equipment installation, contracting, fuel, and regulatory tax incentive and grant subsidization proposals.
We have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) dated May 12, 2009 with Green Solutions & Technologies, LLC (GST) a California based company that provides consumers with direct access to more environmentally friendly green fuels and technologies. GST, its principals and associates represent approximately 2,000 gas stations in California, Texas, Minnesota and Florida and have been involved in the retail distribution of energy products for over 20 years. Our MOU with GST, and the subsequent formal operating agreement, which has not yet been entered into, will call for GST to assist the company in negotiating contracts with the owners of gas stations whereby our company would represent their interest in arranging for the integration of alternative fuel options and enhancements such as solar panels. To date the clean fuels represented are CNG, Bio-Diesel, and Flex-
8
Fuel (Ethanol, E-10, E20, E-85).
Sales, Marketing, and Advertising
Our primary marketing objective will be to convey to customers that we are the only transportation company committed to the environment. We will seek to appeal to eco-conscious customers by stressing the interrelated environmental and economic benefits of renting our proposed environmentally friendly cars, using our proposed infrastructure, and purchasing our proposed environmental products.
We have developed a strategic media program for which our Ecologic Talk Radio will be the platform. We have designed our Ecologic Talk Radio media web portal and have retained Audio Eye, Inc. to build and develop it as part of the Ecologic Talk Radio media portal and online radio operation, we have procured equipment necessary to operate a premier online talk radio operation. The equipment includes a call center board, microphones, headsets, mixer and computer. We have recently finished negotiating the services of Richard Kepler to head up the Ecologic Talk Radio unit. Mr. Kepler is a veteran of traditional AM/FM Talk Radio with 15 years as the host of his own morning show in Philadelphia. Mr. Kepler is a pioneer of Internet Radio as a co-founder of Voice America, Boombox Radio and Renegade Talk. Effective June 29, 2009, the company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Kepler whereby Mr. Kepler is to be vice president of radio operations for a term of two years with an annual compensation of $36,000. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Keplers annual compensation shall increase to $60,000 per annum on December 29, 2009. Mr. Kepler will be responsible for content development, recruitment of additional hosts and marketing initiatives. Although we believe the marketing and branding benefits that could arise from Ecologic Talk Radio are reason enough to have initiated the operation it is managements goal that Ecologic Talk Radio will become a cash-flow positive operation and a profit center.
Other than as disclosed above, currently, our sales, marketing, and advertising efforts are minimal because of our size and limited financial resources.
Products
We intend to promote, develop, acquire and license environmental products and services.
Our Business Strategy
We believe that growth in demand for environmentally friendly cars and the anticipated increase in production of new models of these vehicles by major automakers have created an opportunity for an environmentally friendly transportation company such as ours. We intend to capitalize on our position as a prime mover in this market by executing a comprehensive business strategy.
Our business model supports growth while holding true to our planet-friendly mission. Our first objective is to purchase our fleet of rental cars and to secure our proposed rental locations. We expect that as costs of gasoline and prices continue to rise, demand for our environmentally-friendly, higher mile per gallon proposed fleet will increase. Our intended business operations and purchase of our fleet will be contingent on our company receiving financing.
This growing demand will allow us to add to our proposed fleet and additional rental locations. We intend to market our fleet to state governments, local governments and environmentally conscious organizations. Our business will continue to expand as more manufacturers make more hybrid, electric, CNG and other environmental vehicles. We will be able to expand our product offering, capitalizing on our position as the prime mover in the market.
We initially intend to have our rental locations located at airports on the west coast of the United States. Our strategy will be a multi-pronged approach. We intend to:
1. |
enter into service/joint venture agreements with established car rental companies and use their locations to rent our proposed fleet of cars; |
|
2. |
identify acquisition targets for roll up; |
|
3. |

The execution of our business strategy will be contingent upon and require significant financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will become available or if it does, that it will be offered on favorable terms to us. Our ultimate goal is to achieve a national presence in the car rental industry.
Senior Management Team
We have assembled a senior management team with extensive leadership experience in all facets of the car rental industry. Our team has proven success in growth, acquisition integration, and turnaround situations and can draw on a vast network of industry and functional area experts when needed. Its network of relationships goes beyond this expertise and includes key industry players, including vehicle manufacturers, channel intermediaries such as insurance companies, and representatives of the financial community, where the team has established credibility from its past successes.
Competition
The car rental industry is characterized by intense competition on the basis of price, customer service, vehicle quality and availability and the convenience of rental locations. Our competition consists of national, regional and local companies that provide services in the airport and local markets. Currently, we are aware of no other major car rental company that rents only environmentally friendly cars. In the future, we anticipate competition and the eventual loss of our exclusive status. Through increased competition, however, we believe there will be corresponding benefits of increased customer awareness of our environmentally friendly rental cars, lower financing costs and improved results in the pre-owned sales market. Some of our competitors may have greater financial and other resources than we do or may be better positioned to compete for certain opportunities.
We are not aware of any other all environmental transportation company working to green gas stations, provide an environmental fueling infrastructure, or promote environmental transportation products.
Insurance
The nature of our proposed car rental business exposes us to a certain degree of risk of liability. Of primary concern are accidents involving vehicles rented from our proposed fleet, which exposes us to claims by customers or third parties for personal injury or property damage. We intend to manage our exposure through a combination of qualified self-insurance and risk transfer to insurance companies.
Government Regulation
Our operations will be subject to various federal, state and local laws, regulations, and controls including the leasing and sale of used cars, licensing, charge card operations, reservation policies, privacy and personal data protection, environmental protection, labor matters, insurance, prices, and advertising. We believe we are in compliance with any such regulations affecting our business.
Environmental Matters
Our business will be subject to various federal, state, and local government environmental regulations. The use of cars and other vehicles is subject to various governmental requirements designed to limit environmental damage, including those caused by emissions, discharge of gasoline, oil and other waste materials. Environmental legislation, regulations, and related administrative policies have changed rapidly in recent years. There is a risk that governmental environmental requirements, or enforcement thereof, may become more stringent in the future and that we may be subject to legal proceedings brought by government agencies or private parties with respect to environmental matters.
In addition, if we are successful in executing our business strategy, we may become exposed to additional environmental risks. If we acquire other rental companies, we may become subject to environmental liabilities for past conduct of such acquired companies. Further, at airport-leased properties we may acquire, we may be subject to environmental requirements imposed by airports, in addition to those obligations imposed by environmental
10
regulatory agencies. Finally, our business of retrofitting fueling stations and gas stations may be subject to additional environmental requirements, state and federal.
While we believe that we are in substantial compliance with applicable requirements of environmental laws, we cannot offer assurance that our future environmental liabilities will not be material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Dealings with Renters
In the United States, car rental transactions are generally subject to Article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code, which governs leases of tangible personal property. Car rental is also specifically regulated in more than half of the states of the United States. The subjects of state regulation include the methods by which we advertise, quote and charge prices, the consequences of failing to honor reservations, the terms on which we deal with vehicle loss or damage (including the protections we provide to renters purchasing loss or damage waivers) and the terms and method of sale of the optional insurance coverage that we offer. Some states regulate the price, at which we may sell loss or damage waivers, and many state insurance regulators have authority over the prices and terms of the optional insurance coverage we offer.
We are subject to increasing regulation relating to customer privacy and data protection. In general, we are limited in the uses to which we may put data that we collect about renters, including the circumstances in which we may communicate with them. In addition, we are generally obligated to take reasonable steps to protect customer data while it is in our possession. Our failure to do so could subject us to substantial legal liability or seriously damage our reputation.
Seasonality
There is seasonality only in the car rental sector of our company. The car rental industry tends to be seasonal. The third quarter, during the peak summer months of July and August, has traditionally been the strongest quarter of the year in terms of numbers of rentals and rental rates.
Employees
Currently, we have 3 full time employees in addition to our directors and executive officers.
Over the next twelve months, we intend to significantly increase the number of our employees to 50.
Facilities
Our corporate headquarters are located at 1333 Ocean Avenue Suite D, Santa Monica, California 90401.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Ecologic Transportation, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the period from inception on December 16, 2008 through December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 Ecologic Transportation, Inc.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue, which raises substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(December 31, 2008) |
NOTE 1. GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Ecologic Transportation, Inc, (A Development Stage Company) was incorporated on December 16, 2008 under the laws of the State of Nevada. It has no operations and in accordance with SFAS #7 is considered to be in the development stage.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
Accounting Basis
These financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Companys net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Companys net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no diluted shares outstanding .
Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the period shown.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards NO. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes.
SFAS No. 109 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No provision for income taxes is included in the statement due to its immaterial amount, net of the allowance account, based on the likelihood of the Company to utilize the loss carry-forward
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Income Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents, if not anti-dilutive. The Company has not issued any potentially dilutive common shares.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company has no current source of revenue; therefore the Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding the recognition of revenue or cost.
NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES:
The Company provides for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes . SFAS No. 109 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.
The Company has filed no income tax returns since inception.
NOTE 4. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Common Stock
On December 22, 2008, the Company issued 6,048,741 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock for two promissory notes representing $6,048.74 to the founders of the Company.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. They may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
NOTE 6. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. The Companys activities to date have been supported by equity financing.
NOTE 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During January 2009 the Company received subscriptions for an additional 9,810,745 common shares of stock for $9,810.74 subscription receivable. (500,000 shares were issued to C & H Capital as part of a rights included in a consulting Agreement that included the right to purchase shares of common stock at $.001) January 2009 Capital Group Communications, Inc. was issued the amount of 500,000 shares for the fulfillment of the payment covered in their consulting contract with the company.
NOTE 8. THE EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Below is a listing of the most recent accounting standards SFAS and their effect on the Company.
Statement No. 150 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (Issued 5/03)
This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.
Statement No. 153 Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets (an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29)
The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions , is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, includes certain exceptions to the principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.
Statement No. 154 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3)
This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3,
Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 , which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes . The Interpretation provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN No. 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for us beginning July 1, 2007.

Notes to the Financial Statements |
March 31, 2009 |
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2009 and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2008 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses, and (2) seeking out and completing a merger with an existing operating company. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
