FUTURE EARNINGS GROWTH DRIVERS

Refinery Business

Pure Earth is extremely excited to take advantage of the Province of Ontario’s Land Disposal Restriction Program (LDR), which goes into effect January 1, 2010. With Ontario’s new LDR program, refiners will no longer be able to use Canada as a disposal source for their untreated wastes. This will allow Pure Earth to capture untreated, hazardous waste for treatment that historically, for cost reasons, was shipped to Canadian landfills for disposal. Pure Earth has recently secured two multi-year contracts with major refineries in the Northeast, and is in the process of securing contracts with other refineries that will no longer be able to ship untreated waste to Canada. This should have a potentially significant impact on revenue as Pure Earth is one of only a handful of permitted facilities that allow processing and recycling of this untreated waste and offer an attractive price point to refineries versus the more costly option of incineration.

Alternative Energy

Pure Earth has identified a process of recycling of waste that had originally been destined for landfills to be treated and transformed into a reusable, alternative fuel that can be sold back to various industries. A specific and targeted application can be used with cement kilns. This process has been successfully developed and utilized in Europe and Pure Earth believes it can successfully bring this process to the US markets. Pure Earth currently has one facility under agreement to install this process in 2010. Management believes this facility may be the first of its kind in the United States. This technology is important because it will decrease the release of CO2 into the atmosphere typically associated with the burning of traditional fossil fuels. With the rising cost of fossil fuels and the current governmental administration developing carbon policies to reduce our generation’s carbon “footprint,” Pure Earth is taking the lead in the industry to becoming a more environmentally friendly waste recycling company.

Brownfields

Pure Earth has recently begun to expand its Brownfield development business that was originally started in Pennsylvania. Currently Pure Earth has access to two Brownfields expected to be coming on-line in the third and fourth quarters of 2009 in the Northeastern United States. These Brownfields, plus the potential for further Brownfield site acquisitions, could dramatically increase the volume of business that Pure Earth handles and act as a significant contributor to the Pure Earth revenue stream.

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY AND MANAGEMENT’S ASSUMPTIONS USED TO DERIVE PROJECTIONS

Pure Earth’s management believes that the business prospects mentioned above and cost cutting measures currently taking place will position the company to exceed revenue and net income levels that were achieved prior to the current economic downturn. Pure Earth also sees potential positive impact from new government policies that focus on “green initiatives” and economic stimulus packages. Pure Earth’s projections were prepared based upon its historical sales volumes and related costs coupled with adjustments for management’s estimate of the current marketplace demand for our products and services and the addition of the future earnings growth drivers described above. The following provides an overview of our key assumptions for each of the years:

2009: The projections for 2009 are based upon preliminary results through June 30, 2009 and projected results for the third and fourth quarters. Pure Earth expects to have increased revenues for the second half of 2009. These results are expected to be driven by existing core businesses and are consistent with Pure Earth’s historical performance in 2007 and 2008, prior to the economic downturn in the fourth quarter of 2008. The operating expenses for the third and fourth quarters also reflect cost savings that were implemented during the first half of 2009 including salary reductions and an overall decrease in employee headcount.

2010: The major assumptions for 2010 are based on a 20% increase in revenues from the future earnings growth drivers outlined on the previous page, plus an additional 14% increase in revenues derived from its core businesses thru assistance from the economic stimulus package. Pure Earth also anticipates that other new opportunities outside the growth drivers may become available and have an additional positive impact on 2010 results.

2011: The projections for 2011 were derived by assuming the existing base business and the three earnings growth drivers added in 2010 will continue to provide revenues in 2011 at a rate of 115% of the 2010 results. The increase in 2011 is based upon the following: the continued growth of the company’s core businesses, the impact of the economic stimulus package, and the company’s ability to capitalize on the addition of refinery and alternative energy businesses, and the further development of Brownfield sites.
