ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Our Company
Environmental Science and Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a Apex 5, Inc.) is a Delaware corporation formed in June, 2012. Prior to June 21, 2013, the Company was a shell company within the meaning of applicable securities laws. On June 21, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets from Michael R. Rosa, its CEO, and commenced substantial business operations. In consideration of the acquisition of these assets, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of its common stock to Mr. Rosa. The Companys business is operated through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, each of which is a Delaware corporation: Remote Aerial Detection Systems, Inc., EnviroPack Technologies, Inc. and SpillCon Solutions, Inc.
On June 21, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets, including trademarks, in order to establish the business of EnviroPack Technologies, Inc. (EnviroPack), a newly formed provider of United Nations/Department of transportation (UN/DOT) certified environmental waste packaging solutions for the safe disposal of a variety of hazardous waste streams. In consideration of the acquisition of these assets, we issued 750,000 shares of our common stock to Michael R Rosa, our CEO. EnviroPack will offer an all-inclusive line of UN/DOT approved waste containers that are expected to include the WasteSack ™ , DrumPack ™ , BulbPack ™ , HexPack ™ , HazPack ™ and WastePack ™ , all of which are designed to meet environmental packaging and disposal applications for waste generators, laboratories, utilities and healthcare facilities.
2
On June 21, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets, including intellectual property, in order to establish the business of SpillCon Solutions, Inc. (SpillCon), a newly formed distribution business comprised of environmental spill response and control products (primarily absorbent products), which will be sold to the oil and gas industry, environmental cleanup firms, industry and government agencies. In consideration of the acquisition of these assets, we issued 500,000 shares of our common stock to Michael R Rosa, our CEO. We expect that this company will initially resell products manufactured by third parties. In addition, the company may in the near term private label products manufactured by third parties. SpillCon products will be designed for deployment in theaters that include both land and water, covering a wide array of applications from detection to remediation.
On June 21, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets, including intellectual property, in order to establish the business of Remote Aerial Detection Systems, Inc. (RADS), a new business that is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) reseller of dedicated mission specific non-aerial ISR and aerial ISR aircraft platforms for the oil and gas industry as well as government agencies. In consideration of the acquisition of these assets, we issued 2 million shares of our common stock to Michael R Rosa, our CEO. RADS will provide customers with state of the art electronics, such as ground penetrating radar, LIDAR, FLIR and hyper-spectral camera systems. All systems are mission dependent, able to perform multiple missions with various quick-change applications for oil spill monitoring and detection, as well as proactive security and border patrol, and natural resource exploration in offshore and onshore territories.
Products and Services
EnviroPack Technologies, Inc./SpillCon Solutions
EnviroPacks principal business is the distribution of environmental compliance packaging solutions for environmentally sensitive waste materials. SpillCons principal business is in the distribution of spill control products for marine and land based oil and chemical spills.
The following constitute EnviroPacks major product categories: hazardous waste disposal and containment products for environmentally sensitive waste materials. Waste materials are typically generated from the by-products of a diverse list of manufacturing companies. In addition, EnviroPack products are used for the remediation and clean-up of legacy Superfund waste sites related to the disposal of environmental waste accumulated over time.
SpillCons major product categories include products designed to aid in the detection, response, deployment, containment, clean up and remediation of oil and chemical spills. SpillCons product mix is a compilation of several of the premier sorbent manufacturers in the industry. Certain of SpillCons products are proprietary and unique in design and functionality.
We anticipate developing a line of private label products for both EnviroPack and SpillCon. Our products are largely geared towards environmental cleanup and emergency response firms that are certified to handle, process and treat a wide variety of hazardous and non-hazardous waste materials. In addition, both large and small manufacturing companies that generate waste through their processing facilities are ideal candidates for our products. Municipalities, utilities and military agencies are also prime prospects for our proprietary product lines.
The market for EnviroPack/SpillCon products is broken down into three customer categories - Environmental Response companies, Supply Dealers and Waste Generators. Each group consists of three sub-groups: a few Tier 1, several Tier 2 and an unlimited number of Tier 3 Customers. Tier 1 Environmental customers consist of national environmental response firms with multiple locations throughout the US. Environmental Tier 2 clients are more regional in scope with several locations. The Tier 1 and 2 firms are all about the same size in specific locations. Environmental Tier 3 customers are smaller and regional in scope with one main location from which they operate. The same basic market structure (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) exists with respect to Supply Dealers and Waste Generators.
Demand for our EnviroPack/SpillCon products is driven to a significant extent by the existence and rigorous enforcement of federal environmental and transportation regulations. In particular, strict enforcement of regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Transportation (DOT) and Homeland Security (US Coast Guard) has a positive impact on the demand for our products.

Remote Aerial Detection Systems, Inc.
The RADS business model ties together the detection component of the corporate strategy by specializing as an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems integrator. RADS acts as a reseller of dedicated mission specific non-aerial ISR and aerial ISR aircraft platforms for the oil and gas industry as well as government agencies. RADS will provide customers with state of the art electronics, such as ground penetrating radar, LIDAR, FLIR and hyper-spectral camera systems. All systems are mission dependent, able to perform multiple missions with various quick-change applications for oil spill monitoring & detection, as well as proactive security and border patrol, and natural resource exploration in offshore and onshore territories.
Through RADS, we are establishing a reseller of aerial (manned and unmanned) and non-aerial surveillance systems (ISR systems) for use by the oil and gas industry in leak and spill detection, exploration and security for oil and gas assets (production and distribution). In addition, our ISR systems can be used for border security, mineral exploration and topographical mapping. RADS works with the prospective customer to determine its precise requirements and then designs an ISR system that is tailored to the specific needs of the customer. RADS then works primarily with ISR systems integrators, which may be manufacturer affiliates or independent integrators, to spec and have manufactured for the customer the ISR system that best meets the customers specific requirements.
RADS has two broad product categories: aerial and non-aerial surveillance systems. Aerial surveillance systems consist of manned or unmanned aircraft platforms coupled with sensors tailored to meet the customers specific surveillance requirements. Non-aerial surveillance systems consist of land-based sensors designed again to meet the customers specific surveillance requirements. Depending upon the customers requirements, RADS will provide a range of sensors that function within the electromagnetic spectrum and which are designed to receive comprehensive information about the relevant target. These sensors will either be aerial or land-based, depending upon the customers specific surveillance requirements.
We anticipate that the principal markets for RADS will consist of oil and gas companies and governmental agencies.
Marketing and Distribution
We market and distribute our products and services primarily through a direct sales force. In addition, we market and distribute our products and services through authorized distributors.
EnviroPack/SpillCon
EnviroPack/SpillCon products are distributed through several channels. Our core method of distribution is through select and established container, safety supply and material handling distributors strategically located throughout the US and Canada. The use of public warehousing facilities throughout the US will assist in rapid delivery of products to the environmental emergency response market. All products will be initially warehoused in our central distribution center in Southern NH. We also anticipate a line of private label products which we expect to distribute through a few hand-picked online catalog safety supplier companies, such as Lab Safety, New Pig, Uline and Grainger.
RADS
RADS is essentially a reseller of aerial and non-aerial ISR systems. We anticipate that RADS will, in general, through its own internal sales force either broker or direct sell ISR systems to end-users. RADS may also utilize the services of third party agents for the purpose of facilitating introductions to prospective customers. These third party agents will be compensated by RADS upon consummation of transactions with customers for which they made the relevant introduction.
Competition
In general, we compete against much larger entities, most of which have substantially greater financial resources than we do. We operate in an extremely competitive market for all of our product offerings.
4
EnviroPack/SpillCon
Our environmental waste packaging business (EnviroPack) competes against offerings of such companies as Georgia-Pacific and International Paper. Our environmental spill response and control products business (SpillCon) competes with such companies as New Pig Corporation, Brady Corporation, Complete Environmental Products, Inc. and Sellars Absorbent Materials, Inc. Our main competitors consist of a few regional companies scattered throughout the US. No one company has dominant market share. There are no major competitors in our geographical region. We anticipate that as our sales grow, our buying power will increase, which should in turn improve our competitive position. We also believe that our product designs and certifications are superior in quality to the other regional companies in our space. We believe that the EnviroPack brands are among the most recognized in the environmental waste containment industry.
RADS
Our ISR systems business (RADS) competes directly with mainly European and Australian companies, as well as large US corporations. Our competitors include such companies as Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Harris Corporation, KEYW Corporation, BAE Systems, L3, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and AeroVironment, Inc. In general, however, because RADS is focused on nonmilitary applications, we do not believe it is likely that we will regularly be competing against these much larger companies. We expect to compete on the basis of price and customer service. In particular, we believe that, in general, we have lower overhead than our competitors, which should enable us to offer more competitive pricing, while maintaining acceptable gross margins. In addition, because we are smaller and less bureaucratic than many of our competitors, we believe that we will be able to be more responsive to the needs of our customers.
In general, the companies that our businesses compete with have financial and other resources far in excess of our resources, which results in a very difficult competitive environment for the Company. This challenging competitive environment has many potential adverse effects, including making it much more difficult for the Company to secure new business, as well as retain existing business. In addition, the competitive environment in which we operate tends to limit our gross margins and our ability to pass increasing costs onto our customers. Finally, since our competitors generally have substantially greater financial and other resources, then do we, they generally have a far greater capacity to innovate, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage, and, accordingly have an adverse effect upon our long-term profitability and growth.
We compete in all our markets on the basis of meeting our customers business needs with a viable solution that offers high quality products at an affordable price, coupled with a high level of customer support and service.
Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers
EnviroPack/SpillCon
Our manufacturing partners, who are ISO certified, source the raw materials for and manufacture our finished products utilizing our proprietary designs. We hand pick our manufacturing partners based on several factors, including location, size, certifications, machinery capabilities and price competitiveness. Our EnviroPack products incorporate primarily the following raw materials: corrugated paper, polyethylene and polypropylene. Currently, with respect to EnviroPack, we have manufacturing agreements with International Paper, Greif, Norampac and Laddawn. We also utilize Tier 2 manufacturers for approximately 25% of our purchased inventory. Our SpillCon products incorporate primarily the following raw materials: polypropylene, polymers, cellulose, and other organic, inorganic and synthetic materials, all with various degrees of sorbency properties. With respect to SpillCon, we currently have manufacturing agreements with Spilltech, ESP, ProSorbents and Omni/Ajax, among others. We are negotiating with a few more key manufacturing partners that will co-develop the next generation sorbent products with us. We anticipate that these agreements will facilitate an exclusive agreement to manufacture our own private label brands.
RADS
Because we are a reseller of ISR systems, again it is our manufacturing partners who source the raw materials for and manufacture the ISR systems that we sell to end-users. In general, we expect to work with ISR system integrators, such as Summit Technologies, Commuter Air Technologies and Stevens Aviation. We may also work with integrators that are affiliated with manufacturers such as Diamond, Technam, Stemme and King Air. These ISR system integrators generally purchase components (aircraft and various types of sensors) from third-party manufacturers for incorporation into the required ISR system.
5
Customers
As we are a newly established business, we have not yet realized revenues from our operations.
EnviroPack/SpillCon
We anticipate that our largest account will not represent more the 15% of our overall EnviroPack business.
RADS
We anticipate that we will at least initially engage in transactions with a limited number of large customers, principally governmental entities. Accordingly, at least initially, we expect that one or more of our customers could make up a large percentage of our overall RADS business. We anticipate that as we expand our RADS business over time, our dependence on a limited number of customers should diminish.
To the extent practicable from a business standpoint, we intend to diversify our customer base, so that we are not dependent on any particular customer.
Personnel
As of June 21, 2013, we employed 3 persons.
Research and Development
During the remainder of 2013, we expect to incur aggregate research and development expense of between approximately $30,000 and $45,000, related to the development of our technology and products. Our ability to engage in planned research and development is subject to the availability of sufficient funds, which we currently do not have. If we are unable to fund necessary research and development, we will be at a competitive disadvantage and our business will be materially and adversely affected.
EnviroPack/SpillCon
Product improvements in the component assemblies used in manufacturing our products are provided by our manufacturing partners. Each product will go through an annual review of current methodologies to ensure we are using the latest and most current materials and best available manufacturing practices. We anticipate that the majority of these research and development costs will be borne by our manufacturing partners. We estimate that we will expend approximately $25,000 annually for applicable EnviroPack product improvements. We estimate that we will spend approximately $25,000-$50,000 annually for SpillCon product improvements. We understand that prior to our commencement of the EnviroPack/SpillCon business, approximately $150,000 had been expended on product research and development, of which EnviroPack manufacturers expended approximately $100,000. With respect to SpillCon, we understand that approximately $50,000 was previously expended on product research and development.
RADS
Because we are a reseller of ISR systems comprised of components manufactured and assembled by third persons, we do not incur product research and development expenses with respect to our RADS business.
We currently do not have any personnel dedicated to research and development.
Intellectual Property
In general, we rely primarily on a combination of trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws, and confidentiality procedures to protect our technology. Due to the technological change that characterizes our business, we believe that the improvement of existing products, reliance upon trade secrets and unpatented proprietary know-how and the development of new products are generally as important as patent protection in establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage.
6
EnviroPack/SpillCon
Our EnviroPack product mix is considered proprietary and unique in its design and functionality. Our SpillCon product mix is comprised of many products which are also considered proprietary in design and functionality.
As of June 21, 2013, we do not own any patents and had no patents pending. We have not been nor are we currently involved in or aware of any litigation regarding any of our intellectual property.
We have a number of registered trademarks which we consider important to the protection of our EnviroPack brands.
Governmental Regulation
EnviroPack/SpillCon
EnviroPack products must undergo an extensive certification process by a 3rd party permitted testing facility as designated by the Department of Transportation. The products must comply with applicable federal regulations. Each product carries with it its own unique certification number and must be legibly marked on each package. The certification must be performed annually to ensure compliance with QA/QC standards. SpillCon products undergo specific sorbency testing by our manufacturing partners and many products are tested at OMHSETT in New Jersey. OMHSETT is the largest outdoor saltwater wave/tow tank facility in North America and is the only facility where full-scale oil spill response equipment testing, research, and training can be conducted in a marine environment with oil under controlled environmental conditions (waves and oil types).
Vigorous enforcement of environmental laws and regulations drives demand for our environmental containment products, as our products enable our customers to maintain compliance with regulations concerning packaging, storage and shipping of environmentally sensitive waste materials for processing and disposal. In addition, vigorous enforcement of regulations of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as the governing agency for the US Coast Guard also drive demand for our SpillCon products. Conversely, lax enforcement of these laws and regulations could diminish demand for our containment and spill control products.
We expect to resell our ISR systems throughout the world, and thus will be subject to US Federal Export Regulations. In general, these regulations require persons who sell products that can be used for military purposes in foreign countries to be registered with the US State Department to broker and sell such products. We intend to comply with all such regulations to the extent applicable to us. Although we expect non-U.S. based revenue to be potentially substantial, we do not view these regulations as particularly onerous nor do we expect the related compliance costs to be material to our operations.
Seasonality
As we are a newly established business, we have not yet realized revenues from our business operations. Accordingly, we do not yet have a historical basis to determine whether our revenue will be subject to seasonal fluctuation. We do, however, anticipate some seasonality in our revenues, with somewhat lower revenues during the summer and winter months.
Available Information
We are currently developing a corporate Internet site. The public may read and copy any materials we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to the foregoing, at the SECs Public Reference Room at 100 F St., NE, Washington, DC 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10 AM to 3 PM. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site ( http://www.sec.gov ) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding the Company and other issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

ITEM 2. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Overview
On June 21, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets from Michael R. Rosa, its chief executive officer, and commenced substantial business operations. In consideration of the acquisition of these assets, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Rosa. The Companys business is operated through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, each of which is a Delaware corporation: Remote Aerial Detection Systems, Inc. (RADS), EnviroPack Technologies, Inc. (EnviroPack), and SpillCon Solutions, Inc. (SpillCon).
RADS is a new business that is a reseller of aerial (manned and unmanned) and non-aerial surveillance systems (ISR systems) for use by the oil and gas industry in leak and spill detection, exploration and security for oil and gas assets (production and distribution). In addition, our ISR systems can be used for border security, mineral exploration and topographical mapping. EnviroPack is a newly formed provider of UN/DOT certified environmental waste packaging solutions for the safe disposal of a variety of hazardous waste streams. SpillCon is a newly formed distribution business comprised of environmental spill response and control products (primarily absorbent products), which will be sold to the oil and gas industry, environmental cleanup firms, industry and government agencies.
As the company only recently established its business operations on June 21, 2013 (and was a shell company prior to such date), the Company has no historical business operations. In addition, the Company has not yet realized any revenues from its newly established business operations. Since the Company has no historical business operations, the following discussion omits discussion of income from continuing operations, expenses and other matters related to results of operations, as the Company does not believe that analysis of this information would be meaningful to investors.
Recent Developments
In addition to the asset acquisitions and commencement of business operations on June 21, 2013 described above under the caption Business, the Company has since May, 2013 sold 2,100,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.10 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $210,000. The Company has been using these funds for working capital purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued disclosure guidance for critical accounting policies. The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that require the application of managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.
Our significant accounting policies are described below. We anticipate that the following accounting policies will require the application of our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments:
Basis of Presentation - Development Stage Company
The Company has not earned any revenue from operations. Accordingly, the Companys activities have been accounted for as those of a Development Stage Company as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 915. Among the disclosures required by ASC 915 are that the Companys financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Companys inception.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. There were no current or deferred Income tax expenses or benefits, as the Company did not having any material operations for the period ended December 31, 2012.
8
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 5, 2013, we had cash on hand of approximately $120,000 This cash represents proceeds remaining from the sale of 2,100,000 shares of common stock, at $0.10 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $210,000.
As we only recently established our business operations on June 21, 2013, we have not yet realized any operating revenues. We are however incurring significant costs and expenses in connection with the establishment of our new business, implementation of our business plan and ongoing compliance costs associated with being a public company. Consequently, we are currently experiencing negative cash flows from operations. Our cash on hand is insufficient to fund our ongoing operations and the implementation of our business plan. As a result, we need additional funds in the near term.
In order to remedy this liquidity deficiency, we need to raise additional capital in the near term, and ultimately we will need to generate substantial positive operating cash flows. Our internal sources of funds will consist of cash flows from operations, but not until we begin to realize substantial revenues from the sale of products. As previously stated, we currently have no revenue, and our operations are generating negative cash flows, and thus adversely affecting our liquidity. We intend to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt financing. In addition, we expect that our operations will begin to generate revenues during the second half of 2013, which should ameliorate our liquidity deficiency. If we are unable to raise additional funds in the near term, we will not be able to implement our business plan, and it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Subject to the availability of funds, which we currently do not have, we expect to incur approximately $250,000 in capital expenditures over the next 12 months. The purpose of these capital expenditures will be for the installation of a cellulose blending system, along with an industrial sewing machine center for use in a customized cutting and sewing operation, a heat sealing machine, and specific testing equipment for a R&D lab for the SpillCon and RADS businesses , along with other equipment modifications.
We expect to fund these capital expenditures through a combination of cash flows from operations and proceeds from equity financing. If we are unable to generate positive cash flows from operations, and/or raise additional funds (either through debt or equity), we will be unable to fund our capital expenditures, in which case, there could be an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
As stated above, we recently raised an aggregate of $210,000 from the sale of 2,100,000 shares of common stock, at $0.10 per share. We expect to raise additional funds in the near term from the further sales of shares of common stock. Additional sales of common stock will reduce the percentage interest of existing shareholders in our company. Although it is possible, we do not believe it is likely that we will raise funds through the sale of debt securities in the near term.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a) (4) (ii) of the SECs Regulation S-K.
We are headquartered in Plaistow, New Hampshire, where we lease space from an entity controlled by Michael R. Rosa, our Chief Executive Officer and a significant shareholder. Currently, we are leasing approximately 10,000 square feet of space, of which 2,000 square feet is dedicated to administration, 500 square feet is dedicated to research and development and 7,500 square feet is dedicated to warehouse. The monthly rent for this facility is $7,500. This is a gross lease under which the landlord pays taxes, utilities and maintenance and repairs. We believe that our current office space is adequate for current and anticipated near term levels of business activity. We are also in the early stage of exploring potential new space for our corporate headquarters, as well as separate space for a research and development facility.

Michael R. Rosa, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors
Mr. Rosa has been our CEO and Chairman of our Board of Directors since December 10, 2012. Mr. Rosa does not currently have an employment contract with us, and serves at the pleasure of our Board of Directors. Mr. Rosa will serve as a member of our Board of Directors until the next annual meeting of our shareholders, or until his successor is duly elected and qualified (or until his earlier resignation or removal).

Compliance With Section 16(A) Of The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Section 16(a)"), requires our Directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities (collectively, "Section 16 reporting persons"), to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our Common Stock and other equity securities. Section 16 reporting persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of any such reports furnished to us, none of the Section 16 reporting persons failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to our most recent fiscal year, and through May 31, 2013.
Code Of Ethics
We are in the process of establishing a Code of Ethics.
Procedures For Security Holders To Nominate Directors
Our bylaws do not provide a procedure for Stockholders to nominate directors. The Board of Directors does not currently have a standing nominating committee. The Board of Directors currently has the responsibility of selecting individuals to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors. Qualifications considered by the Directors in nominating an individual may include, without limitation, independence, integrity, business experience, education, accounting and financial expertise, reputation, civic, community and industry relationships and industry knowledge. In nominating an existing director for re-election to the Board of Directors, the Directors will consider and review an existing directors Board and Committee attendance, performance and length of service.

Mr. Ash has been engaged as our Vice President, Business Development, for an initial annual salary of $82,500.

Retirement Plan
We do not currently have any retirement plan, but we expect to adopt one in the near term.
Option Grants in the Last Fiscal Year
No Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) or options to purchase our stock were granted to the Named Executive Officers during fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
Director Compensation
No compensation was paid to any director for serving as such, with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
Through May 31, 2013, Directors who were compensated as full-time employees received no additional compensation for service on our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors plans to establish a compensation plan for nonemployee directors, in connection with our appointment of such director(s).
It is anticipated that each non-employee Director will receive an annual cash fee. In addition, in order to align their interests with those of the shareholders, each non-employee Director will be granted an option to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price to be determined by the Board of Directors. We also expect that all or a portion of these options will vest monthly on a pro rata basis over each non-employee Directors initial term as a Director.
Equity Incentive Plans
We have not yet established any Equity Incentive Plans. We anticipate that we will establish one or more equity incentive plans for our officers and directors.
ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Director Independence
In determining whether the members of our board of directors and its committees are independent, we have elected to use the definition of independence set forth in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. After considering all relevant relationships and transactions, our board of directors has determined that none of our directors are independent within the meaning of the applicable listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Company does not at this time have separate Audit, Compensation, or Nominating and Governance Committees. Instead, the full board of directors has the responsibility of selecting and working with our independent auditors, setting executive compensation, and selecting individuals to be nominated for election to the board of directors. We anticipate enlarging our Board of Directors and filling one or more of the resulting vacancies with directors who are independent within the meaning of applicable listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market.
Transactions with Officers and Directors
We have engaged in certain transactions with our officers and directors. On April 29, 2013 and May 7, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 1,500,000 and 800,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, to Michael G. Faris, our COO and CFO, at a per share price of $.0001, being the par value of our common stock. On May 3, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 750,000 shares of our common stock to Ibrahim Ash, our Vice President, Business Development, at a per share price of $.0001. Finally, on May 7, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 4 million shares of our common stock to Michael R. Rosa, our CEO, at a per share price of $.0001. These persons are considered to be founders of our Company.
As part of our private offering to accredited investors (up to a maximum of $250,000), on May 3, 2013, we sold an aggregate of 350,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate consideration of $35,000 (a per-share price of $0.10) to Ibrahim Ash, an accredited investor who is our Vice President, Business Development.
13
On June 21, 2013, we issued 3,250,000 shares of our common stock to Michael R Rosa, our CEO, in consideration for certain assets he transferred to our Company as of such date. Please see the disclosure set forth in. Item 1. Business under the caption Our Company.
We are headquartered in Plaistow, New Hampshire, where we lease space from an entity controlled by Michael R. Rosa, our Chief Executive Officer and a significant shareholder. Currently, we are leasing on a month-to-month basis approximately 10,000 square feet of space, of which 2,000 square feet is dedicated to administration, 500 square feet is dedicated to research and development and 7,500 square feet is dedicated to warehouse. The monthly rent for this facility is $7,500. This is a gross lease under which the landlord pays taxes, utilities and maintenance and repairs. We believe that our current office space is adequate for current and anticipated near term levels of business activity. We are also in the early stage of exploring potential new space for our corporate headquarters, as well as separate space for a research and development facility.
ITEM 8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we may become party to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there are no material outstanding claims and no amounts have been accrued.
ITEM 9. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
Our common stock is not currently quoted on any market, nor is there any public market for our common stock. We intend to seek to have our common stock quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under a symbol to be determined by our Board of Directors. Since our common stock is not quoted on any market, we have not provided high and low bid information for our common stock for the requisite periods as such information does not exist.
As of June 21, 2013, there were 23,321,429shares of our common stock outstanding, held by approximately 11 holders of record.
Dividend Policy
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and we have no present intention to pay any cash dividends again in the future.
ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
Between April 29, 2013 and May 7, 2013, we sold an aggregate of 7,971,429 shares of our common stock to accredited investors, within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at a per-share price of $.0001, being the par value of our common stock, for aggregate consideration of approximately $800. These persons are considered to be founders of our Company by our Board of Directors.
Between May 3, 2013 and June 12, 2013, we sold an aggregate of 2,100,000 shares of our common stock to accredited investors, within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at a per-share price of $0.10, for aggregate consideration of $210,000.
On June 21, 2013, we issued 3,250,000 shares of our common stock to Michael R Rosa, our CEO, in consideration for certain assets he transferred to our Company as of such date.
The Registrant believes that the foregoing transactions were exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), based on the following facts: there was no general solicitation, there was a limited number of purchasers, each of whom the Registrant believes was an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and was sophisticated about business and financial matters, and all shares issued were subject to restriction on transfer, so as to take reasonable steps to assure that the purchaser was not an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) under the Act.

ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANTS SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.
Description Of Capital Stock
The following is a summary of the rights of our capital stock and certain provisions of our articles of organization, as amended, and by-laws. For more detailed information, please see our articles of organization, as amended, and by-laws filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Authorized Capital Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of (i) 250 million shares of common stock, and (ii) 5 million shares of preferred stock, in each case with a par value of $.0001 per share.
As of June 21, 2013, we had (i) 23,321,429shares of common stock outstanding, held of record by 11 shareholders, and (ii) no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
Description of Common Stock
Voting
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. An election of directors by our shareholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote on the election.
Dividends
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by our board of directors.
Liquidation and Dissolution
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our assets which are legally available for distribution, after payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding.
Other Rights and Restrictions
Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights or subscription rights, and they have no right to convert their common stock into any other securities. Our common stock is not subject to redemption by us, and there are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. Our articles of organization and by-laws do not restrict the ability of a holder of common stock to transfer his, her or its shares of common stock. However, applicable federal and state securities laws may restrict the ability of a holder of common stock to transfer his, her or its shares of common stock.
Description of Preferred Stock
Our board of directors may, without further action by our stockholders, from time to time, direct the issuance of shares of preferred stock in series and may, at the time of issuance, determine the designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative participating, optional or special rights as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of our common stock. Holders of shares of preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of our liquidation before any payment is made to the holders of shares of our common stock. Under certain circumstances, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities or the removal of incumbent management. Upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, our board of directors, without stockholder approval, may issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of shares of our common stock and the market value of our common stock. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding, and we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock.
15
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law
In general, we are subject to the provisions of section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 prohibits certain publicly held Delaware corporations from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A business combination includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporations voting stock. These provisions could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or reducing the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
Future Stock Issuances
Except as expressly set forth herein or pursuant to any equity incentive plan, we have no current plans to issue any additional shares of our capital stock. However, our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public and private offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of our common stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Trading Information
Our common stock is not currently eligible for trading on any national securities exchange or any over-the-counter markets, including the OTC Bulletin Board. We intend to apply to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under a symbol to be determined by our Board of Directors.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Action Stock Transfer Corporation.
ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director is personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director. Nonetheless, a director is liable to the extent provided by applicable law, (i) for breach of the directors duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock purchase or redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Company, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided in our certificate of incorporation, will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DGCL. No amendment to or repeal of the relevant article of our certificate of incorporation will apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Company for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment.
We intend to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, each person that such section grants the Company the power to indemnify, including without limitation, our officers, directors and employees. We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our current directors and executive officers and with any new directors or executive officers. We also intend to obtain customary directors and officers liability insurance policies that provide coverage to our directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and coverage to us with respect to indemnification payments that we may make to directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liability under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 13. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
Our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 are incorporated into this Form 8-K Current Report by reference to our Form 10K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission February 25, 2013.

ITEM 14. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
(a) Former independent registered public accounting firm
On May 21, 2013, we dismissed our independent registered public accounting firm, Kenne Ruan, CPA, PC (Ruan). This dismissal was authorized and approved by our Board of Directors. Ruan has audited our financial statements since our inception in June, 2012.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, and through May 21, 2013, there were no disagreements with Ruan on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Ruans satisfaction, would have caused Ruan to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and though May 21, 2013, there were no reportable events as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We provided Ruan with a copy of the disclosure contained in the Form 8-K that was filed with respect to the dismissal, and requested that it provide us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the contents of this disclosure. A copy of that letter, dated May 22, 2013, was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K filed on May 24, 2013.
(b) New independent registered public accounting firm
On May 21, 2013, we appointed Moody, Famiglietti & Andronico (MFA) as our new independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. This appointment was authorized and approved by our Board of Directors.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and through May 21, 2013, we did not consult with MFA on any accounting matter for a specified transaction, completed or proposed, or consult with MFA for the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, where a written report or oral advice was provided that MFA concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue. In addition, we did not consult with MFA on any reportable events as identified under Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Environmental Science and Technologies Inc (fka Apex 5 Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Environmental Science and Technologies Inc (fka Apex 5 Inc.) (A development stage company) as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from June 18, 2012 (inception) to December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Environmental Science and Technologies Inc (fka Apex 5 Inc.) as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from June 18, 2012 (inception) to December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Companys losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the Period from June 18, 2012 (inception) to December 31, 2012
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Environmental Science and Technologies, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 18, 2012 and has been inactive since inception. The Company intends to serve as a vehicle to effect an asset acquisition, merger, exchange of capital stock or other business combination with a domestic or foreign business.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation - Development Stage Company
The Company has not earned any revenue from operations. Accordingly, the Companys activities have been accounted for as those of a Development Stage Company as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 915. Among the disclosures required by ASC 915 are that the Companys financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Companys inception.
Accounting Method
The Companys financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. There were no current or deferred Income tax expenses or benefits due to the Company not having any material operations for period ended December 31, 2012.
Basic Earnings (Loss) per Share
In February 1997, the FASB issued ASC 260, Earnings per Share, which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. ASC 260 supersedes the provisions of APB No. 15, and requires the presentation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 260 effective (inception).
Basic net loss per share amounts is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company.
F-7
Impact of New Accounting Standards
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The Companys financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. The Company will engage in very limited activities without incurring any liabilities that must be satisfied in cash until a source of funding is secured. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.
NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
An officer and director of the Company has performed services for the Company during the period the value of which was $1,000, in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of common stock. During the period an officer and director of the Company paid $1,000 for general and administrative expenses.
NOTE 5. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Upon formation, the Board of Directors issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock for $1,000 in services to the founding shareholder of the Company.
The stockholders equity section of the Company contains the following classes of capital stock as of December 31, 2012:
|
|
Common stock, $ 0.0001 par value: 250,000,000 shares authorized; 10,000,000 shares issued and outstanding |
|
|
|
|
|
Preferred stock, $ 0.0001 par value: 5,000,000 shares authorized; but not issued and outstanding. |
NOTE 6. COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCY
There is no commitment or contingency to disclose during the period ended December 31, 2012.
NOTE 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events up to and including February 19, 2013 which is the date the statements were available for issuance and determined there are no reportable subsequent events.
