Explanatory Note
AbTech Industries, Inc. (AbTech) is a Delaware corporation with an authorized capital of
15,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock and 5,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred
stock. On February 10, 2011, AbTech was acquired by AbTech Holdings, Inc., (ABHD) (formerly
known as Laural Resources, Inc.) in a reverse acquisition transaction. In accordance with the
merger agreement between AbTech and ABHD (the Merger Agreement), ABHD acquired all of the issued
and outstanding common stock of AbTech, including shares issuable upon the conversion of Series A
preferred stock and convertible promissory notes outstanding, in exchange for the stockholders of
AbTech acquiring 46,000,000 shares of ABHD common stock. ABHD also agreed to reduce its number of
common shares outstanding to 10,000,000 shares prior to the Merger. See Notes 1 and 4 of Notes to
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
For accounting purposes, the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with
AbTech as the acquirer. The condensed consolidated financial statements of ABHD included in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q represent a continuation of the financial statements of AbTech, with
one adjustment, which is to retroactively adjust the legal capital of AbTech to reflect the legal
capital of ABHD. Comparative information presented in these consolidated financial statements also
have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of ABHD.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. The December 31, 2010 consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q
was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all
2
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

ABTECH HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION
Abtech Holdings, Inc. (ABHD or the Company) (formerly Laural Resources, Inc.), was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 13, 2007, with authorized capital stock of
300,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value.
AbTech Industries, Inc. (AbTech), a Delaware corporation with an authorized capital of 15,000,000
shares of $0.01 par value common stock and 5,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock, was
acquired by ABHD in a reverse acquisition transaction on February 10, 2011 (the Merger). In
accordance with the merger agreement between AbTech and ABHD (the Merger Agreement), ABHD
acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of AbTech, including shares issuable upon
the conversion of Series A preferred stock and convertible promissory notes outstanding, in
exchange for the stockholders of AbTech acquiring 46,000,000 shares of ABHD common stock. ABHD
also agreed to reduce its number of common shares outstanding to 10,000,000 shares prior to the
Merger. (See Note 4 Reverse Acquisition Transaction).
For accounting purposes, the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with
AbTech as the acquirer. These consolidated financial statements of the Company represent a
continuation of the financial statements of AbTech, with one adjustment, which is to retroactively
adjust the legal capital of AbTech to reflect the legal capital of ABHD. Comparative information
presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements also have been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the Company.
AbTech is an environmental technologies firm that provides innovative solutions to address issues
of water pollution. AbTech has developed and patented the Smart Sponge® polymer
technology. This technologys oil absorbing capabilities make it highly effective as a filtration
media to remove hydrocarbons and other pollutants from flowing or pooled water. AbTech is
headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona and has a manufacturing facility located in Phoenix, Arizona.
AbTechs wholly-owned subsidiary, Environmental Security Corporation (ESC), was formed in 2003 to
develop a sensor array technology designed to detect impurities in water flows. ESC owns a U.S.
patent on this technology and has acquired rights to another monitoring technology, but otherwise
had no operations during either 2011 or 2010.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of ABHD, AbTech, and ESC. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include the operations of ABHD prior to the
date of the Merger which are considered to be immaterial to the operations of AbTech. The equity
section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the basic and diluted weighted average number of
shares outstanding on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for periods prior to the date of
the Merger have been restated to give retroactive effect to the merger transaction and to show the
shares outstanding at the Balance Sheet dates as if such shares had been exchanged for ABHD shares
in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The equity section of the Consolidated
Balance Sheets and the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations for periods ended after the date of the Merger, represents
the actual shares of ABHD outstanding after the share exchanges that occurred as part of the merger
transaction. The non-controlling interest shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31,
2011, represents the ownership interest in AbTech of the holders of AbTech Series A preferred stock
that elected not to exchange their Series A preferred shares for common shares of ABHD as allowed
by the Merger Agreement.
In the opinion of the Companys management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated
financial statements. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
7
Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss
attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. The calculation of basic loss per share gives retroactive effect to
the recapitalization related to the reverse acquisition of AbTech by ABHD. The Company
has other potentially dilutive securities outstanding that are not shown in a diluted net loss per
share calculation because their effect in both 2011 and 2010 would be anti-dilutive. These
potentially dilutive securities include Series A preferred stock, options, warrants and convertible
promissory notes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company does not expect that the adoption of
recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated
financial statements.
NOTE 3 INVENTORIES
The Company uses a perpetual inventory system and periodic physical test counts to determine
inventory amounts at interim balance sheet dates.

NOTE 4 REVERSE ACQUISITION TRANSACTION
On February 10, 2011, ABHD closed a reverse acquisition transaction (the Merger) with its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Abtech Merger Sub, Inc., and AbTech pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated July 17, 2010. As a result of the Merger, ABHD acquired all of the issued and
outstanding common stock of AbTech in exchange for the common stockholders of AbTech (including
Series A preferred stockholders and holders of convertible debt with rights to convert their
holdings into shares of AbTech common stock) acquiring an approximate 78% ownership interest in
ABHD. In addition, AbTech became the Surviving Corporation a majority-owned subsidiary of ABHD,
and ABHD acquired the business and operations of AbTech.
|
|
Issuance of Common Stock At the closing of the Merger, ABHD issued 32,009,801 shares of
its common stock to the stockholders of AbTech in exchange for 100% of the issued and
outstanding common stock of AbTech. Immediately prior to the Merger, ABHD had 10,000,000
shares of common stock issued and outstanding, excluding the shares issued as part of a $3
million funding required by the Merger Agreement. $1,645,000 of the $3 million funding was
received by ABHD prior to closing ($150,000 of the $1,645,000 was received after December 31,
2010). The financier issued a promissory note to ABHD for the $1,355,000 balance of the
financing commitment which was to be funded in cash after the Merger closing. ABHD elected to
hold the note as a funding commitment only and did not record the promissory note or issue any shares in exchange for the promissory note. ABHD intends to issue shares as the funding
commitment is actually funded with cash. From the date of the merger through March 31, 2011,
ABHD received $550,000 of the remaining $1,355,000 commitment and issued 550,000 ABHD common shares to the investors. |
|
|
Conversion of AbTechs Preferred Stock At the effectiveness of the Merger, 1,439,614
shares of Series A Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock) of AbTech outstanding immediately prior
to the Merger |
8
|
|
were converted into 1,439,614 shares of preferred stock of Surviving Corporation (i.e., AbTech,
post-Merger). The privileges, rights, and preferences of the Preferred Stock were not affected
or altered by such conversion. Accordingly, the Preferred Stock may be converted at any time
into common shares of AbTech as the Surviving Corporation and subsequently such common shares of
the Surviving Corporation will be exchanged for shares of the common stock of ABHD at the same
exchange rate in effect for common shares of AbTech at the date of the Merger (the Merger
Consideration). The preferred stockholders that elected to not convert and exchange their shares for ABHD common shares, represent the non-controlling interest shown on the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2011. |
|
|
Conversion of AbTechs Warrants At the effectiveness of the Merger, 480,266 warrants
to purchase AbTech common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were converted
into warrants to purchase 2,557,153 shares of common stock of ABHD. At the effective time of
the Merger, 471,444 warrants to purchase AbTech Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior
to the Merger were converted into warrants to purchase 471,444 shares of preferred stock of
the AbTech as the Surviving Corporation. The aggregate exercise price and other terms of such
warrants were not affected or altered by such conversion and, upon exercise of any such
warrants, the shares of preferred stock received upon such exercise would be convertible at
any time for common shares of the Company, whereupon such common shares would be exchanged for
the Merger Consideration. |
|
|
Conversion of AbTechs Options At the effectiveness of the Merger, options to purchase
992,000 shares of AbTech common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were
converted into options to purchase 5,281,855 shares of common stock of ABHD. The aggregate
exercise price and other terms of such options were not affected or altered by such
conversion. |
|
|
Conversion of AbTechs Convertible Debt As of the closing of the Merger, $3,980,666 of
outstanding notes of the Company that were convertible into Preferred Stock of AbTech prior to
the Merger were retained by the holders and $1,347,372 of such notes were converted into
1,919,315 shares of common stock of ABHD. |
NOTE 5 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues
sufficient to cover its operations costs, which raises doubts about the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need to
generate additional revenue and obtain additional capital to fund its operating losses and service
its debt. Management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish
this objective through additional equity funding, and long term financing, which will enable the
Company to operate for the coming year though there can be no assurance that the Companys efforts
will be successful. As a result, the Companys independent registered public accounting firm
issued a going concern opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year
ended December 31, 2010. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 6 DEBT REPAYMENT
In March 2011, the Company initiated an offering to raise funds to repay approximately $1,960,000
of existing debt obligations of AbTech that were currently due or would become due during 2011 (the
Targeted Notes). Investors in the offering (New Investors) were given the option to either
purchase a portion of the Targeted Notes and convert it immediately to ABHD common stock, or buy
new convertible notes from ABHD (the New Notes) that would convert to ABHD common stock upon
confirmation by AbTech that the proceeds had been used by AbTech to repay the intended Targeted
Notes. The intended objective was to complete the transactions with the same net effect as if all
the Targeted Notes converted by their terms to ABHD common stock. As of March 31, 2011, the
Company had received $400,000 from New Investors interested in purchasing Targeted Notes. The
obligation related to these funds was recorded as notes payable; however, due to the beneficial
conversion feature implied in these obligations, the notes were fully discounted and charged to
additional paid-in capital. As of March 31,
9
2011, the Company had used $86,674 of these funds to pay-off a Targeted Note and the balance of the
funds ($313,624) is shown as restricted cash at March 31, 2011. These funds, along with additional
funds received under this offering after March 31, 2011, will be used to either purchase Targeted
Notes on behalf of the New Investors, which notes will then be converted to ABHD common stock at a
conversion price of approximately $0.57 per share, or to repay Targeted Notes, in which case the
New Notes purchased by New Investors will be converted to ABHD common stock at a conversion price
of approximately $0.57 per share.
NOTE 7 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Private Placement
Subsequent to March 31, 2011, the Company received an additional $125,000 of the $805,000 remaining
commitment to complete the $3 million offering required by the Merger Agreement.
Debt Repayment
After March 31, 2011, the Company continued the offering described in Note 6 above, raising an
additional $1,322,100 for the retirement of the Target Notes. With these proceeds, the Company
repaid approximately $715,000 of debt that was past due as of March 31, 2011, bringing the Company
current on all of its debt obligations. Other repayments of the Target Debt will be handled as the
Target Debt holders complete the note purchase or conversion process. The total $1,960,000 raised
in this offering will ultimately be converted into approximately 3,438,596 shares of ABHD common
stock.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial
statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report. This discussion includes
forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results
and the timing of events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of a variety of business, economic and competitive uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future
business decisions, are subject to change.
Overview
ABHD was incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 13, 2007 under the name Laural
Resources, Inc. On February 10, 2011, ABHD consummated the Merger with AbTech, pursuant to the
Merger Agreement. Prior to the Merger, ABHD was a development stage company engaged in the business
of acquiring and developing mineral properties, and a public reporting shell company, as defined
in SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. As a result of the Merger, ABHD acquired all of the
issued and outstanding common stock of AbTech (through a reverse acquisition transaction) in
exchange for the stockholders of AbTech acquiring a 78% ownership interest in ABHD, AbTech became
ABHDs majority-owned subsidiary, and ABHD acquired the business and operations of AbTech.
This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
is based on and related only to the operations of AbTech. Prior to the consummation of the Merger,
ABHD was a shell company that did not have an active business and its results of operations are
immaterial and are not included in the discussion below. Key factors affecting AbTechs results of
operations during the periods covered in this section include revenues, cost of revenues, operating
expenses and income, and taxation.
For accounting purposes, the Merger transaction has been accounted for as a reverse
acquisition, with AbTech as the acquirer. The condensed consolidated financial statements of ABHD
included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q represent a continuation of the financial statements
of AbTech, with one adjustment, which is to retroactively adjust the legal capital of AbTech to
reflect the legal capital of ABHD. See Note 1 of Notes to condensed consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
10
This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is
based on AbTechs condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of
these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the
reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and assumptions.
Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that it
believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, the Company continued to experience the
negative effects of a worldwide economic downturn resulting in sales that were 39% lower than in
the same period of the prior year. In addition, during 2010 the Company had terminated most of its
exclusive distribution agreements in anticipation of engaging a nationwide distributor for its
stormwater products. The Companys new distributor, Waste Management, Inc., announced in April
2011, that it was launching its entry in to the stormwater market and intended to initiate its
sales efforts in four pilot market areas in 2011. The Company has not yet recognized any revenue
from this distribution arrangement and anticipates gradual revenue growth with initial efforts in
the pilot market areas and, if successful, expansion into additional geographic markets.
The Company continues to operate with significant excess manufacturing capacity. The costs
associated with the excess capacity are charged to cost of revenues in the period incurred and
resulted in negative gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. We do not
currently have plans to reduce excess manufacturing capacity, and we anticipate that the excess
capacity will continue to adversely affect gross margins at least through 2011.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $223,605 (54%) during the three
months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This increase was due primarily
to the costs associated with the closing of the Merger transaction including legal, audit and
financial printing costs. In addition, the Company added three senior level individuals that were
engaged as employees or full time consultants during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Other
part-time consultants were also engaged during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 to assist the
Company in its market development and public relations efforts. Research and development costs
also increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as the company engaged in a variety of new
product development activities and the associated internal and external testing of such products.
Thus, due primarily to decreased sales and increased operating expenses in 2011, the net loss from
2011 compared to 2010, increased by $260,826 (44%).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, the Company has not generated sufficient revenue to cover its operating costs and
continues to operate with negative cash flow. The Companys cash balance of $4,123 at December 31,
2010 was insufficient to cover the $688,673 of net cash used in operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2011. The Company received an additional $700,000 in cash during the period from
the private offering being conducted to fulfill the $3,000,000 funding commitment associated with
the Merger transaction. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had received $2,195,000 of the
$3,000,000 funding commitment. The balance of $805,000 was due in April, 2011. However, as of the
date of the filing of this quarterly report, $680,000 remained unfunded. In 2010, the Companys
operations, which used $467,846 of cash, were funded primarily by the sale of $550,000 of Senior
Convertible Promissory Notes.
In March 2011, the Company initiated an offering to raise funds to repay approximately
$1,960,000 of debt obligations that were currently due or would become due during 2011 (the
Targeted Notes). Investors in the
11
offering were given the option to either purchase a portion of the Targeted Notes and convert it
immediately to ABHD common stock, or buy new convertible notes from ABHD that would convert to ABHD
common stock upon confirmation by AbTech that the proceeds had been used by AbTech to repay the
intended Targeted Notes. The intended objective was to complete the transactions with the same net
effect as if all the Targeted Notes converted by their terms to ABHD common stock. As of March 31,
2011 the Company had received $400,000 from investors interested in purchasing Targeted Notes. As
of March 31, 2011, $86,376 of these funds had been remitted to a note holder for the purchase of a
Targeted Note. The remaining cash from these purchase commitments totaled $313,624 at March 31,
2011, and is shown on the Companys March 31, 2011 condensed consolidated balance sheet as
Restricted Cash. This cash, along with any additional cash funding received by the Company after
March 31, 2011 for repayment or purchase of the Targeted Notes, is reserved for such repayment or
purchase and cannot be used for operations unless all the Targeted Notes are cancelled, converted
or repaid in full. Accordingly, the $313,624 remaining cash at March 31, 2011 has been classified
as Restricted Cash at March 31, 2011.
The Companys balance sheet at March 31, 2011 shows an inventory level of $563,882, slightly
lower than the level at December 31, 2010. This relatively large amount of inventory, as compared
to net revenues, will mitigate somewhat the working capital funding that will be required in the
event the Company successfully increases sales revenue in the future.
At March 31, 2011, the Company had received customer deposits of $195,629 as prepayments by
certain distributors for future product orders. Future sales to these distributors will not
generate positive cash flow until the prepayments are depleted. The Company also intends to reduce
the relatively large balance of accounts payable ($640,331 at March 31, 2011) which would also have
a negative effect on cash flow.
The Company had no capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010. As of
March 31, 2011, the Company had no commitments for any material future capital expenditures.
The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues
sufficient to cover its operations costs, which raises doubts about the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need to
generate additional revenue and obtain additional capital to fund its operating losses and service
its debt. Management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish
this objective through additional equity funding, and long term financing, which will enable the
Company to operate for the coming year though there can be no assurance that the Companys efforts
will be successful. As a result, the Companys independent registered public accounting firm
issued a going concern opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year
ended December 31, 2010. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future material effect on the Companys financial condition, revenues
or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal
Executive Officer, and our Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2011 (the Evaluation Date).
Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer along with our Principal Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of the
Evaluation Date in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file
or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. This conclusion is
based on findings that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our
12
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These
material weaknesses include the following:
|
|
|
We have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key
financial reporting functions. |
|
|
|
|
There is no system in place to review and monitor internal control over financial
reporting. This is due to our Company maintaining an insufficient complement of
personnel to carry out ongoing monitoring responsibilities and ensure effective
internal control over financial reporting. |
|
|
|
|
We did not perform an entity level risk assessment to evaluate the implication of
relevant risks on financial reporting, including the impact of potential fraud related
risks and the risks related to non-routine transactions, if any, on our internal
control over financial reporting. Lack of an entity-level risk assessment constituted
an internal control design deficiency which resulted in more than a remote likelihood
that a material error would not have been prevented or detected, and constituted a
material weakness. |
We are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material
weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the near term, including identifying specific areas
within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources and
personnel to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during
the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We believe that a control
system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been
detected.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. |
In connection with the consummation of the Merger on February 10, 2011, ABHD issued 32,009,801
shares of common stock to the stockholders of AbTech in exchange for 100% of the common stock of
AbTech. The issuance of the common stock to the stockholders of AbTech pursuant to the Merger
Agreement was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act) pursuant to Section 4(2) and Regulation D thereof. We made this determination
based on the representations of the stockholders of AbTech which included, in pertinent part, that
such shareholders, as applicable, were accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501 of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and that such stockholders were acquiring our
common stock for investment purposes for their own accounts and not as nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and that such stockholders understood that the
shares of our common stock may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the
Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the
effectiveness of the Merger, 480,266 warrants to purchase common stock of AbTech Industries
immediately prior to the Merger were converted into warrants to purchase 2,557,153 shares of common
stock of the Company; 471,444 warrants to purchase AbTech Industries Preferred Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the merger were converted into warrants to purchase 471,444 shares of
preferred stock of AbTech Industries as the Surviving Corporation; and options to purchase 992,000
shares of common stock of AbTech Industries immediately prior to the Merger were converted into
options to purchase 5,281,855 shares of common stock of the Company. For more information
regarding the issuance, please refer to the information provided under Items 1.01, 2.01 and 3.02 of
the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 14, 2011 (the Super 8-K), and the
Companys Current Form on Form 8-K/A filed on March 1, 2011, amending the Super 8-K, both of which
are incorporated herein by reference.
As part of a $3 million funding required by the Merger Agreement, $1,645,000 of the $3 million
funding was received by ABHD prior to closing of the Merger, including $150,000 that was received
after December 31, 2010. A financier issued a promissory note to ABHD for the $1,355,000 balance
of the funding commitment which was to be funded by cash after the Merger closing. ABHD elected to
hold the note as a funding commitment only and did not issue any shares in exchange for the
promissory note. ABHD intends to issue shares as the funding commitment is actually funded with
cash. From the date of the Merger through March 31, 2011, ABHD received $550,000 of the remaining
$1,355,000 funding commitment. Therefore, during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the
Company received a total of $700,000 under this funding arrangement and issued 700,000 ABHD common
shares to the investors. The issuance of the ABHD common stock to the investors was exempt from
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2), Regulation S and Regulation D
thereof.
In March 2011, the Company initiated an offering to raise funds to repay approximately
$1,960,000 of existing debt obligations of AbTech that were currently due or would become due
during 2011 (the Targeted Notes). Investors in the offering were given the option to either
purchase a portion of the Targeted Notes and convert it immediately to ABHD common stock, or buy
new convertible notes from ABHD (the New Notes) that would convert to ABHD common stock upon
confirmation by AbTech that the proceeds had been used by AbTech to repay the intended Targeted
Notes. The intended objective was to complete the transactions with the same net effect as if all
the Targeted Notes converted by their terms to ABHD common stock. As of March 31, 2011 the Company
had received $400,000 from investors to purchase Targeted Notes. These funds, along with
additional funds received after March 31, 2011 under this offering, will be used to either purchase
Targeted Notes which notes will then be converted to ABHD common stock at a conversion price of
approximately $0.57 per share, or to repay Targeted Notes, in which case the New Notes will be
converted to ABHD common stock at a conversion price of approximately $0.57 per share. The Company
offered and sold the Targeted Notes and the New Notes in reliance on
14
Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act.

Item 3. |
|
Defaults Upon Senior Securities. |
A promissory note with preferred stock conversion rights in the principal amount of $100,000,
issued by AbTech, was in default from its maturity date on August 2, 2010 until it was paid in full
on March 30, 2011. On February 14, 2011, AbTech received notice from a Convertible Senior
Promissory Note holder declaring an event of default under the terms of the note and accelerating
the due date of the note, making it immediately due and payable, as a result of the failure of
AbTech to make the required quarterly interest payment on time. The delinquent interest was
remedied with an interest payment of $20,219 on February 22, 2011, and the principal amount of the
note, with all remaining accrued interest, in the amount of $506,247, was repaid in full on April
7, 2011.
