GreenMan Technologies Reports Second Quarter Results 20 Percent Increase in Revenue and 27 Percent Increase in Gross Margin Compared to Prior Year

GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: GMTI), a leading regional tire recycler and emerging leader in patented cold-cure recycled rubber molded products announced today results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2008.

Lyle Jensen, GreenMan's President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are pleased with the company's solid performance. Our tire recycling business continued to demonstrate the improved financial performance we have been seeing as a result of our turnaround, with operating losses in the seasonally slow March quarter two to three times less than pre-turnaround levels. Furthermore, our recently acquired products business was a key driver of revenue growth for the quarter and gross margins in that segment doubled compared to the prior quarter to 37 percent of revenues. "

Mr. Jensen further stated, "The Company's investment in sales and marketing and finished goods inventory was heavy in the second quarter but we believe the timing was prudent, as we expect the investment will help us to maximize the historically stronger two upcoming quarters of the year. We enjoyed very strong revenue in April compared to the prior year and our order activity is increasing as our backlog of crumb rubber and playground installations kick into a higher gear".

Please join us today, May 13, 2008 at 11:00 AM EDT for a conference call in which we will discuss the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

In September 2005, due to the magnitude of continued operating losses, our Board of Directors approved plans to divest the operations of our Georgia subsidiary and dispose of their respective assets. Accordingly, we have classified all remaining liabilities associated with our Georgia entity and their results of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. On October 1, 2007, we acquired Welch Products, Inc. in exchange for 8,000,000 newly issued shares of our common stock. The results described below include the operations of Welch since October 1, 2007.

Three Months ended March 31, 2008 Compared to the Three Months ended March 31, 2007

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $800,000 or 23 percent to $4,265,000 as compared to net sales of $3,465,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase in primarily attributable to the inclusion of approximately $608,000 of revenue associated with Welch, our newly acquired subsidiary. We processed approximately 2.4 million passenger tire equivalents during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared to approximately 2.2 million passenger tire equivalents during the same period last year. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 included approximately $198,000 of revenue and 100,000 passenger tire equivalents associated with an Iowa scrap tire cleanup project which was completed during that quarter.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $984,000 or 23 percent of net sales, compared to $776,000 or 22 percent of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 included Welch which had a gross profit of $226,000 or 37 percent of its net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $444,000 to $1,345,000 or 32 percent of net sales, compared to $901,000 or 26 percent of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of $443,000 associated with Welch including a significant investment in sales and marketing efforts to promote the Welch patented products and establish market presence. These increases were offset by reduced wages and performance based incentives.

Interest and financing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $29,000 to $494,000, compared to $523,000 during the three months ended March 31,2007. The decrease was primarily due to reduced interest rates and outstanding principal.

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $880,000 or $.03 per basic share as compared to a net loss of $648,000 or $.03 per basic share for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Six Months ended March 31, 2008 Compared to the Six Months ended March 31, 2007

Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2008 increased $1,802,000 or 22 percent to $10,153,000 as compared to the net sales of $8,351,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in primarily attributable to the inclusion of approximately $1,207,000 of revenue associated with Welch, our newly acquired subsidiary. The remaining increase in revenue was attributable to increased volume and a 14 percent increase in overall product revenues during the six months ended March 31, 2008. We processed approximately 6.0 million passenger tire equivalents during the six months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to approximately 5.9 million passenger tire equivalents during the same period last year. The results for the six months ended March 31, 2007 included approximately $350,000 of revenue and 167,000 passenger tire equivalents associated with an Iowa scrap tire cleanup project which was completed during that period.

Gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2008 was $2,786,000 or 27 percent of net sales, compared to $2,259,000 or 27 percent of net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2007. The results for the six months ended March 31, 2008 included Welch which had a gross profit of $338,000 or 28 percent of its net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2008 increased $750,000 to $2,619,000 or 26 percent of net sales, compared to $1,869,000 or 22 percent of net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was attributable to the inclusion of $843,000 associated with Welch including a significant investment in sales and marketing efforts to promote the Welch patented products and establish market presence. These increases were offset by reduced wages and performance based incentives.

Interest and financing expense for the six months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $54,000 to $992,000 compared to $1,046,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to reduced interest rates and outstanding principal.

We recorded a provision for state income tax expense of approximately $52,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2008.

Our net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2008 was $862,000 or $.03 per basic share as compared to a net loss of $657,000 or $.03 per basic share for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Quarter Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

(Unaudited)

1.	Business

GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries “we”, “us” or “our”) was originally founded in 1992 and has operated as a Delaware corporation since 1995. Today, GreenMan is comprised of two business segments, the tire recycling operations and the molded recycled rubber products operations.

The tire recycling operations located in Savage, Minnesota and Des Moines, Iowa collect, process and market scrap tires in whole, shredded or granular form. We are paid a fee to collect, transport and process scrap tires (i.e., collection/processing revenue) in whole or into two inch or smaller rubber chips which are then sold (i.e., product revenue).

On October 1, 2007, we acquired Welch Products, Inc. (“Welch”), a company headquartered in Carlisle, Iowa, which specializes in designing, developing, and manufacturing of environmentally responsible products using recycled materials, primarily recycled rubber. Welch’s patented products and processes include playground safety tiles, roadside anti-vegetation products, construction molds and highway guard-rail rubber spacer blocks. Through its prior acquisition of Playtribe, Inc., Welch also provides innovative playground design, equipment and installation. (See Note 4).

2.	Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GreenMan Technologies, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries with the exception of Welch, which is included since October 1, 2007. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In September 2005, due to the magnitude of continued operating losses, our Board of Directors approved plans to divest the operations of our GreenMan Technologies of Georgia, Inc. subsidiary and dispose of its assets. Accordingly, we classified all remaining liabilities associated with our Georgia entity and its results of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In June 2008, GreenMan Technologies of Georgia, Inc. filed for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the Bankruptcy Court of the Middle District of Georgia and a trustee was appointed (See Note 5.) As a result of the bankruptcy proceedings we have relinquished control of our Georgia subsidiary to the Bankruptcy Court and therefore have de-consolidated substantially all remaining obligations from our financial statements as of June 30, 2008.

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2007 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures which have been made herein are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. The results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be reported for a full year. In our opinion, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of operating results for the interim periods presented have been made.

Nature of Operations, Risks, and Uncertainties

As of June 30, 2008, we had $543,057 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficiency of $11,322,565 of which reflects the inclusion of $9.8 million of term debt due our primary lender, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., under the terms of our credit facility which matures June 30, 2009. Commencing October 1, 2008, our principal payments due to Laurus under this term debt are scheduled to increase substantially. We are currently in discussions with Laurus regarding an initial 12 month extension in the term of the credit facility as well as maintaining our current level of monthly principal payments through the remainder of the existing term and the potential extension term. If we are unable to restructure our remaining principal payments with Laurus or obtain additional financing, our ability to maintain our current level of operations could be materially and adversely affected and we may be required to adjust our operating plans accordingly.

We understand our continued existence is dependent on our ability to generate positive operating cash flow and achieve profitable status on a sustained basis for all operations. We believe our efforts to achieve these goals, have been positively impacted by our divestiture of historically unprofitable operations during fiscal 2006 and 2005 as evidenced by the fact we have been profitable in four of our last five consecutive quarters. In addition, during the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we have made a significant investment in sales and marketing efforts to promote Welch’s patented products and establish market presence.

3.	Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed conversion. Potential common shares that may be issued by us relate to outstanding stock options and warrants (determined using the treasury stock method).

Diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2008		Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008
Weighted average shares outstanding		30,880,435		30,880,435
Exercisable options and warrants		4,616,992		4,677,906

Net income per share – fully diluted from discontinued operations	$	0.06	$	0.06

4.	Acquisition of Subsidiary

On October 1, 2007, we acquired Welch Products, Inc., a company headquartered in Carlisle, Iowa, which specializes in designing, developing and manufacturing of environmentally responsible products using recycled materials, primarily recycled rubber. Welch’s patented products and processes include playground safety tiles, roadside anti-vegetation products, construction molds and highway guard-rail rubber spacer blocks. Through its prior acquisition of Playtribe, Inc., Welch also provides innovative playground design, equipment and installation. Welch had been one of our crumb rubber customers for the past several years. The transaction was structured as a share exchange in which 100 percent of Welch’s common stock was exchanged for 8 million shares of our common stock, valued at $2,800,000 based on the value of the 8 million shares issued in this transaction on the date of issuance. Welch’s unaudited revenues for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007 were approximately $1.8 million and Welch recorded a net loss of approximately $646,000 for that period.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, and accordingly the results of Welch’s operations since the date of acquisition are included in our consolidated financial statements. The total purchase price of $2,890,000 including approximately $90,000 of transaction costs has been allocated as follows:

Total identifiable assets acquired	$ 2,571,000
Total identifiable liabilities acquired	$ 2,821,000

The total consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $3,140,000 resulting in the recognition of $2,289,000 of goodwill and $645,000 assigned to long term contracts (in addition to $90,000 assigned to an existing contract and being amortized over a 5-year term) based on an analysis of the discounted future net cash flows of the contracts. In addition, we increased the value of land and buildings by $195,000 based on a recent appraisal and increased the value assigned to patents by $11,000 based on an analysis of discounted future cash flows associated with the patents. The value assigned to the long term contracts is being amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life ranging from 48 to 60 months and the value assigned to patents is being amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 60 months. Goodwill will be evaluated annually.

The net value of Welch intangibles other than goodwill is as follows as of June 30, 2008:

	Long Term Contracts			Patents

Management continually reviews long-lived assets, goodwill and certain identifiable intangibles to evaluate whether events or changes in circumstances indicate an impairment of carrying value. Such reviews include an analysis of current results and take into consideration the discounted value of projected operating cash flows (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). An impairment charge would be recognized when expected future operating cash flows are lower than the carrying value of the assets.

5.	Discontinued Operations

Due to the magnitude of the continuing operating losses incurred by our GreenMan Technologies of Georgia, Inc. subsidiary ($3.4 million) during fiscal 2005, our Board of Directors determined it to be in the best interest of our company to discontinue all Georgia operations and completed the divestiture of its operating assets during fiscal 2006. Accordingly, we have classified all remaining liabilities associated with our Georgia entity and its results of operations as discontinued operations.

On June 27, 2008, GreenMan Technologies of Georgia, Inc. filed for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the Bankruptcy Court of the Middle District of Georgia and a trustee was appointed. In July 2008 a Meeting of Creditors was held and we are awaiting the trustee’s final report. As a result of the bankruptcy proceedings we have relinquished control of our Georgia subsidiary to the Bankruptcy Court and therefore have de-consolidated substantially all remaining obligations from our financial statements as of June 30, 2008 resulting in a one-time, pre-tax non-cash gain of $2,360,930 which is reflected as income from discontinued operations in the attached Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2007, we received credits from vendors, we recovered certain bad debts and we reduced certain accrued expenses. This offset a $19,058 increase in our lease settlement reserve (see the discussion of our Georgia lease below) resulting in approximately $112,000 of income from discontinued Georgia operations.

In February 2006, we amended our Georgia lease agreement to obtain the right to terminate the original lease which had a remaining term of approximately 15 years, by providing the landlord with six months notice. In the event of termination, we will be obligated to continue to pay rent until the earlier to occur of (1) the sale by the landlord of the premises; (2) the date on which a new tenant takes over; or (3) three years from the date on which we vacate the property.

In August 2006, we received notice from the Georgia landlord indicating that the Georgia subsidiary was in default under the lease due to its insolvent financial condition. The landlord agreed to waive the default in return for a $75,000 fee to be paid upon termination of the lease and required that all current and future rights and obligations under the lease be assigned to GreenMan Technologies, Inc. pursuant to a March 29, 2001 guaranty agreement. The net present value of the lease settlement obligation increased by $19,058 during the nine months ended June 30, 2007, and is included in discontinued operations. The $75,000 is included in obligations due under lease settlement at June 30, 2008.

The major classes of liabilities associated with discontinued operations were:

	June 30, 2008		September 30, 2007
Liabilities related to discontinued operations:
Accounts payable	$	233,334	$	2,502,779

7.	Notes Payable/Credit Facilities

June 2006 Laurus Credit Facility

On June 30, 2006, we entered into a $16 million amended and restated credit facility with Laurus (the “Credit Facility”). The New Credit Facility consists of a $5 million non-convertible secured revolving note and an $11 million secured non-convertible term note. The credit facility is secured by first priority security interests in all of the assets of our company and all of the assets of our GreenMan Technologies of Minnesota, Inc. and GreenMan Technologies of Iowa, Inc. subsidiaries, as well as by pledges of the capital stock of those subsidiaries. In January 2008, we granted Laurus additional security interest in the assets of Welch Products and its subsidiaries, which increased our borrowing base under the revolving note described above.

The revolving note has a three-year term from the closing, bears interest on any outstanding amounts at the prime rate plus 2% (7% at June 30, 2008), with a minimum rate of 8%. Amounts advanced under the line are limited to 90% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of finished goods inventory, up to a maximum of $5 million, subject to certain limitations. As of June 30, 2008, the balance due under the revolving note was $2,999,662.

The term loan has a maturity date of June 30, 2009 and bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% (7% at June 30, 2008), with a minimum rate of 8%. Principal is amortized over the term of the loan, commencing on July 2, 2007, with minimum monthly payments of principal as follows: (i) for the period commencing on July 2, 2007 through June 2008, minimum principal payments of $150,000; (ii) for the period from July 2008 through June 2009, minimum principal payments of $400,000; and (iii) the balance of the principal will be payable on the maturity date. In May 2007, Laurus agreed to reduce the principal payments required during the period of July 2007 to September 2008 to $100,000 per month and defer the difference of $1,500,000 to the June 2009 maturity date. We are currently in discussions with Laurus regarding an initial 12 month extension in the term of the credit facility as well as maintaining our current level of monthly principal payments through the remainder of the existing term and the potential extension term. If we are unable to restructure our remaining principal payments with Laurus or obtain additional financing, our ability to maintain our current level of operations could be materially and adversely affected and we may be required to adjust our operating plans accordingly.

In addition, we have agreed to make an excess cash flow repayments beginning with the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 equal to 50% of (a) the aggregate net operating cash flow generated for such fiscal year less (b) aggregate capital expenditures made in such fiscal year (up to a maximum of 25% of the net operating cash flow calculated in accordance with this clause). Laurus agreed to waive this provision for the year ended September 30, 2007. The term loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty.

In connection with the New Credit Facility, we issued Laurus a warrant to purchase up to 3,586,429 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.01 per share. This warrant, valued at $1,116,927, is immediately exercisable, has a term of ten years, allows for cashless exercise at the option of Laurus, and does not contain any “put” provisions. Previously issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,380,000 shares of our common stock, which were issued in connection with the original notes on June 30, 2004, were canceled as part of this transaction. The amount of our common stock Laurus may hold at any given time is limited to no more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock. This limitation may be waived by Laurus upon 61 days notice to us and does not apply if an event of default occurs and is continuing under the New Credit Facility. The fair value of these terminated warrants was determined to be $31,774 and offset the value of the new warrant issued. In addition, the fair value associated with the foregone convertibility feature of all previous convertible amounts was determined to be $740,998 and also offset the value of the new warrant issued. As a result of the foregoing, the net value assigned to the new warrant of $344,155 was recorded as paid-in capital and recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the refinanced note as described below.

Laurus has agreed that it will not, on any trading day, be permitted to sell any common stock acquired upon exercise of this warrant in excess of 10% of the aggregate number of shares of the common stock traded on such trading day. On January 25, 2007, we filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the 3,586,429 shares underlying the June 30, 2006 warrant as well as 553,997 shares issuable to another shareholder upon exercise of a warrant. The registration statement was declared effective on February 6, 2007. During the period of June through August 2007, Laurus acquired 1,154,098 shares of our common stock upon the partial exercise of its warrants on a cashless basis.

Subject to applicable cure periods, amounts borrowed under the New Credit Facility are subject to acceleration upon certain events of default, including: (i) any failure to pay when due any amount we owe under the New Credit Facility; (ii) any material breach by us of any other covenant made to Laurus; (iii) any misrepresentation, in any material respect, made by us to Laurus in the documents governing the New Credit Facility; (iv) the institution of certain bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings by or against us; (v) the entry of certain monetary judgments greater than $50,000 against us that are not paid or vacated for a period of 30 business days; (vi) suspensions of trading of our common stock; (vii) any failure to deliver shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrant; (viii) certain defaults under agreements related to any of our other indebtedness; and (ix) changes of control of our company. Substantial fees and penalties are payable to Laurus in the event of a default.

Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15, “Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructuring” (“SFAS 15”) the Credit Facility has been accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. It was determined that, because the effective interest rate of the New Credit Facility was lower than that of the previous credit facility therefore indicating a concession was granted by Laurus, we are viewed as a passive beneficiary of the restructuring, and no new transaction has occurred. Under SFAS 15, a modification of terms "is neither an event that results in a new asset or liability for accounting purposes nor an event that requires a new measurement of an existing asset or liability." Thus, from a debtor's standpoint, SFAS 15 calls for a modification of the terms of a loan to be accounted for prospectively. As a result, unamortized balances of $258,900 of deferred financing fees and $972,836 of debt discount and beneficial conversion features associated with the previous Laurus credit facility were netted along with the value of the new warrants issued of $344,155 against the new term debt related to the portion of the new debt that refinanced the Laurus debt and related accrued interest totaling $8,503,416 to provide a net carrying amount for that portion of the debt of $6,927,525. The carrying amount of the loan is being amortized over the term of the loan at a constant effective interest rate of 20% applied to the future cash payments specified by the new loan.

The carrying value of the Laurus debt under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2008 was $12,310,486 and does not equate to the total cash payments of $12,799,662 due under the debt as a result of accounting for a troubled debt restructure.

8.	Litigation

As previously disclosed, all of GreenMan Technologies of Tennessee, Inc.’s assets were sold in September 2005 and substantially all of GreenMan Technologies of Georgia, Inc.’s assets were sold as of March 1, 2006. All proceeds from these sales were retained by Laurus, our secured lender, and these subsidiaries have no assets. As of June 30, 2008, approximately seventeen vendors of these subsidiaries had commenced legal action, primarily in the state courts of Georgia, in attempts to collect approximately $1.9 million of past due amounts, plus accruing interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs, all relating to various services rendered to these subsidiaries. Although GreenMan Technologies, Inc. itself was not a party to any of these vendor relationships, three of the plaintiffs, representing approximately $900,000 of these claims, have named GreenMan Technologies, Inc. as a defendant along with GreenMan Technologies of Georgia, Inc.

As of June 30, 2008, nine vendors have secured judgments in their favor aggregating approximately $1.55 million against GreenMan Technologies of Georgia, Inc., including a summary judgment for approximately $890,000 against GreenMan Technologies, Inc. While GreenMan Technologies, Inc. believes it has valid defenses to these claims, as well as against any similar or related claims that may be made against us in the future, we did not receive proper notice of the summary judgment against us and therefore were unable to timely appeal the judgment. Management therefore determined it to be in the best interests of GreenMan Technologies, Inc. to reach settlement on this judgment rather than to attempt to appeal the judgment for lack of proper notice. On March 28, 2008, GreenMan Technologies, Inc. agreed to a cash settlement of $450,000 with $100,000 paid upon signing the settlement agreement and nine additional monthly payments of $38,889 commencing on April 30, 2008 and ending on December 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, the balance due under this agreement was $233,334. Upon receipt of the final payment, the plaintiff has agreed to mark the judgment satisfied with the appropriate courts, at which time we anticipate recording a gain on settlement of approximately $165,000.

In addition to the foregoing, we are subject to routine claims from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that the resolution of any of the claims that are currently known to us will have a material adverse effect on our company or on our financial statements.

9.	Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock Transactions

On October 1, 2007, we issued 8,000,000 shares of our unregistered common stock valued at $2,800,000 (at a price of $.35 which was the closing price of our stock on the date of issuance) in connection with the acquisition of Welch Products. (See Note 4.)

Authorized Shares

As of June 30, 2008, 30,880,435 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, and we had approximately 9,590,364 additional shares reserved for future issuance. These reserved shares relate to the following: 3,054,462 shares for issuance upon exercise of awards granted under our 1993 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan and 2005 Stock Option Plan and 6,535,902 shares for issuance upon exercise of other stock options and stock purchase warrants. On April 2, 2008, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 60,000,000 shares.

Stock Options

We maintain stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2007 Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB. As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, we previously had elected to continue with the accounting methodology prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” On October 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-based Payment” using the modified prospective method and have applied the required fair value methodology to all stock option and equity award plans. We use the Black-Scholes option valuation to determine the fair value of share based payments granted after October 1, 2006. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded stock based compensation expense of $28,183 and $103,750 respectively and $9,195 and $27,300, respectively for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123(R). The unamortized compensation costs at June 30, 2008 was $413,111.

During the three months ended December 31, 2007, we granted options to several employees to purchase an aggregate of 670,000 shares of the our common stock at an exercise price of $.35 to per share, which represented the closing price of our stock on the date of each respective grant. The options were granted under the 2005 Stock Option Plan, have a ten-year term and vest equally over a five-year period from date of grant. The fair value of the options at the date of grant in aggregate was $160,000 and assumptions utilized to determine such value were (a) risk free interest rate of 4.33%, (b) expected life of 7.5 years, (c) expected volatility of 64% and (d) weighted average fair value of $.24 per option granted.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we granted options to our Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the our common stock at an exercise price of $.34 per share, which represented the closing price of our stock on the date of the grant. The options were granted under the 2005 Stock Option Plan, have a ten-year term and vest immediately on the date of grant. The fair value of the options at the date of grant in aggregate was $19,200 and assumptions utilized to determine such value were (a) risk free interest rate of 2.7%, (b) expected life of 5 years, (c) expected volatility of 65% and (d) weighted average fair value of $.19 per option granted.

We use historical volatility as we believe it is more reflective of market conditions and a better indicator of volatility and use estimated stock option forfeitures based on historical experience. We will continue to use the simplified calculation of expected life described in the Staff Accounting Bulletin No (s) SAB No. 107 and SAB No. 110, Share-Based Payments until we have enough historical data necessary to provide a reasonable estimate of expected life.

10.

Segment Information

In conjunction with the acquisition of Welch Products (See Note 4) on October 1, 2007, we established a new reporting structure whereby we now have two reportable operating segments: (1) tire recycling and (2) molded recycled rubber products. We have identified the tire recycling and molded recycled rubber product as operating segments for which discrete financial information is available. Each operating segment has its respective management team.

The tire recycling operations collect, process and market scrap tires in whole, shredded or granular form. We are paid a fee to collect, transport and process scrap tires (i.e., collection/processing revenue) in whole or into two inch or smaller rubber chips which are then sold (i.e., product revenue).

The molded recycled rubber products operations manufacture, install and market branded recycled content products and services that provide schools and other political subdivisions viable solutions for safety, compliance, and accessibility. Pursuant to SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, our Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (CODM) as he assesses the performance of the segments and decides how to allocate resources to the segments. Income (loss) from operations is the measure of profit and loss that our CODM uses to assess performance and make decisions. Assets are not a measure used to assess the performance of the company by the CODM; therefore we will report assets by segment in our disclosures. Income (loss) from operations represents the net sales less the cost of sales and direct operating expenses incurred within the operating segments as well the allocation of some but not all corporate operating expenses. These unallocated costs include certain corporate functions (certain legal, accounting, wage, public relations and interest expense) are included in the results below under Corporate and other in the reconciliation of operating results. Management does not consider unallocated Corporate and other in its management of segment reporting.

Income Taxes

We recorded a provision for state income tax expense of approximately $52,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 based on certain subsidiary state income tax obligations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

On June 27, 2008, our Georgia subsidiary filed for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the Bankruptcy Court of the Middle District of Georgia. As a result of the bankruptcy proceedings we have relinquished control of our Georgia subsidiary to the Bankruptcy Court and therefore have de-consolidated substantially all remaining obligations from our financial statements as of June 30, 2008. On October 1, 2007, we acquired Welch Products, Inc. in exchange for 8,000,000 newly issued shares of our commons stock. The results described below include the operations of Welch since October 1, 2007.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Form 10-KSB, as amended, filed for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

Results of Operations

Three Months ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Three Months ended June 30, 2007

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $2,237,292 or 42% to $7,557,561 as compared to net sales of $5,320,269 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to a 25% increase in overall tire derived end product revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and a 15% increase in scrap tire volume (we processed approximately 3.5 million passenger tire equivalents during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as compared to approximately 3.0 million passenger tire equivalents during the same period last year). The remaining increase in revenue was attributable to the inclusion of approximately $886,000 of revenue associated with Welch, our newly acquired subsidiary. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2007 included approximately $54,000 of revenue and 39,000 passenger tire equivalents associated with an Iowa scrap tire cleanup project which was completed during that quarter.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,514,560 or 33% of net sales, compared to $1,742,556 or 33% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2008 included Welch, which had a gross profit of $284,769 or 32% of its net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $433,196 to $1,377,737 or 18% of net sales, compared to $944,541 or 18% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of $393,898 associated with Welch, including an ongoing significant investment in sales and marketing efforts to promote the Welch patented products and establish market presence.

Interest and financing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $62,409 to $497,293, compared to $559,702 during the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to reduced interest rates and outstanding principal.

As a result of the foregoing, our income from continuing operations after income taxes increased $419,768 or almost 200% to $631,520 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $211,752 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

During the three months ended June 30, 2008 we recognized income from discontinued operations of $2,360,930 associated with a one time, non-cash gain resulting from the de-consolidation of our inactive Georgia subsidiary which filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy during the quarter. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007 we reached agreements with several Georgia vendors regarding remaining past due amounts resulting in approximately $102,000 of income from discontinued operations.

Our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,992,450 or $.10 per basic share as compared to net income of $313,435 or $.01 per basic share for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Nine Months ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Nine Months ended June 30, 2007

Net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 increased $4,038,863 or 30% to $17,710,424 as compared to the net sales of $13,671,561 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to a 26% increase in overall tire derived end product revenues during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and a 7% increase in scrap tire volume (we processed approximately 9.5 million passenger tire equivalents during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to approximately 9.0 million passenger tire equivalents during the same period last year). The remaining increase in revenue was attributable to the inclusion of approximately $2,093,596 of revenue associated with Welch, our newly acquired subsidiary. The results for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 included approximately $404,000 of revenue and 205,000 passenger tire equivalents associated with an Iowa scrap tire cleanup project which was completed during that period.

Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, was $5,300,255 or 30% of net sales, compared to $4,001,128 or 29% of net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The results for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 included Welch, which had a gross profit of $622,744 or 30% of its net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, increased $1,182,947 to $3,996,505 or 23% of net sales, compared to $2,813,558 or 21% of net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was attributable to the inclusion of $1,237,290 associated with Welch, including a significant investment in sales and marketing efforts to promote the Welch patented products and establish market presence. These increases were offset by reduced wages and performance based incentives.

As a result of the foregoing, we had operating income from continuing operations of $1,303,750 during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to operating income of $1,187,570 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.

Interest and financing expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, decreased $116,072 to $1,489,457 compared to $1,605,529 during the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to reduced interest rates and outstanding principal.

We recorded a provision for state income tax expense of approximately $52,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to approximately $32,000 for the same period last year.

As a result of the foregoing, our loss from continuing operations after income taxes decreased $225,306 or 49% to $230,267 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to a loss of $455,573 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized income from discontinued operations of $2,360,930 associated with a one time, non-cash gain resulting from the de-consolidation of our inactive Georgia subsidiary which filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in June 2008. During the nine months ended June 30, 2007 we reached agreements with several Georgia vendors regarding remaining past due amounts resulting in approximately $112,000 of income from discontinued operations.

Our net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, was $2,130,663 or $.07 per basic share as compared to a net loss of $344,063 or $.02 per basic share for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2008, we had $543,057 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficiency of $11,322,565 which reflects the inclusion of $9.8 million of term debt due our primary lender, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., under the terms of our Credit Facility which matures June 30, 2009. Commencing October 1, 2008, our principal payments due to Laurus under this term debt are scheduled to increase substantially. We are currently in discussions with Laurus regarding an initial 12-month extension in the term of the credit facility as well as maintaining our current level of monthly principal payments through the remainder of the existing term and the potential extension term. If we are unable to restructure our remaining principal payments with Laurus or obtain additional financing, our ability to maintain our current level of operations could be materially and adversely affected and we may be required to adjust our operating plans accordingly.

We understand our continued existence is dependent on our ability to generate positive operating cash flow and achieve profitable status on a sustained basis for all operations. We believe our efforts to achieve these goals, have been positively impacted by our divestiture of historically unprofitable operations during fiscal 2006 and 2005, as evidenced by the fact we have been profitable in four of our last five consecutive quarters. In addition, during the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we have made a significant investment in sales and marketing efforts to promote the Welch patented products and establish market presence.

The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows reflect events for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 as they affect our liquidity. During the nine months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used by operating activities was $359,305. Our net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,130,663, including a one time, non-cash gain of $2,360,930 associated with the de-consolidation of our Georgia subsidiary. Our cash flow was positively impacted by the following non-cash expenses and changes to our working capital: $1,711,137 of depreciation and amortization and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $396,995. These changes were offset by a $1,338,177 increase in product inventory, which is not unusual as we typically build inventory prior to our seasonally stronger second half. In addition, accounts receivable increased $659,386 reflecting stronger revenues during the seasonally strong quarter. During the nine months ended June 30, 2007, net cash used by operating activities was $484,035. While our net loss was $344,063 our overall cash flow was positively impacted by the following non-cash expenses and changes to our working capital: $1,100,403 of depreciation and amortization which partially offset a $744,668 increase in product inventory and a $531,706 increase in accounts receivable. It is not unusual during the seasonally slower first half of our fiscal year to build inventory for the pending crumb season, which typically begins during our third fiscal quarter as evidenced by the increase in accounts receivable.

Net cash used by investing activities was $1,241,439 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, reflecting the net purchase of equipment of $1,312,010 and $68,571 of net cash acquired in the Welch transaction. Net cash used by investing activities was $719,406 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, reflecting the purchase of $769,445 of equipment offset by proceeds from the sale of equipment of $50,039.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,767,037 during the nine months ended June 30, 2008, reflecting an increase in our working capital line of $2,999,662, which offset normal debt payments including the payoff of approximately $467,000 of Welch debt in conjunction with the acquisition and capital lease repayments. Net cash provided by financing activities was $764,139 during the nine months ended June 30, 2007, reflecting the initial drawdown of our line of credit which offset normal debt and capital lease repayments.

In order to reduce our operating costs, address our liquidity needs and return to profitable status, we have implemented and/or are in the processing of implementing the following actions:

Divestiture of Unprofitable Operations

Due to the magnitude of the continuing operating losses incurred by our Georgia and Tennessee during fiscal 2005 ($3.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively) subsidiaries and our California subsidiary ($3.2 million since inception) in fiscal 2006, our Board of Directors determined it to be in the best interest of our company to discontinue all southeastern and west coast operations and dispose of their respective operating assets.

The divestiture of our Tennessee operations was substantially completed during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 and the divestiture of our Georgia and California subsidiaries was completed during fiscal 2006.

Credit Facility Refinancing

On June 30, 2006, we entered into a $16 million amended and restated credit facility with Laurus (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility consists of a $5 million non-convertible secured revolving note and an $11 million secured non-convertible term note.

The revolving note has a term of three years from the closing, bears interest on any outstanding amounts at the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time plus 2%, with a minimum rate of 8%. The amount we may borrow at any time under the revolving note is based on our eligible accounts receivable and our eligible inventory with an advance rate equal to 90% of our eligible accounts receivable (90 days or less) and 50% of finished goods inventory up to a maximum of $5 million less such reserves as Laurus may reasonably in its good faith judgment deem necessary from time to time.

The term note has a maturity date of June 30, 2009 and bears interest at the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time plus 2% with a minimum rate of 8%. Interest on the loan is payable monthly commencing August 1, 2006. Principal will be amortized over the term of the loan, commencing on July 2, 2007, with minimum monthly payments of principal as follows: (i) for the period commencing on July 2, 2007 through June 2008, minimum payments of $150,000; (ii) for the period from July 2008 through June 2009, minimum payments of $400,000; and (iii) the balance of the principal shall be payable on the maturity date. In May 2007, Laurus agreed to reduce the monthly principal payments required under Credit Facility during the period of July 2007 to June 2008 from $150,000 to $100,000 per month. Laurus also agreed to reduce the monthly principal payments required during the period of July 2008 to September 2008 from $400,000 to $100,000 per month. The net reduction of $1,500,000 will be deferred and payable at the June 2009 maturity date.

In addition, we have agreed to make an excess cash flow repayment as follows: no later than 95 days following the end of each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending on September 30, 2007, we have agreed to make a payment equal to 50% of (a) our aggregate net operating cash flow generated in such fiscal year less (b) our aggregate capital expenditures in such fiscal year (up to a maximum of 25% of the net operating cash flow calculated in accordance with clause (a) of this sentence. Laurus agreed to waive this provision for the year ended September 30, 2007. The term loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty.

In connection with the Credit Facility, we also issued to Laurus a warrant to purchase up to 3,586,429 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $.01 per share. Laurus has agreed that it will not, on any trading day, be permitted to sell any common stock acquired upon exercise of this warrant in excess of 10% of the aggregate number of shares of the common stock traded on such trading day. Previously issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,380,000 shares of our common stock were canceled as part of these transactions. The amount of our common stock Laurus may hold at any given time is limited to no more than 4.99% of our outstanding capital stock. This limitation may be waived by Laurus upon 61 days notice to us and does not apply if an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Credit Facility.

On January 25, 2007, we filed the registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the 3,586,429 shares underlying the June 30, 2006 warrant as well as 553,997 shares issuable to another shareholder upon exercise of a warrant. The registration statement was declared effective on February 6, 2007.

Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15, “Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructuring” (“SFAS 15”) the Credit Facility has been accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. It was determined that, because the effective interest rate of the Credit Facility was lower than that of the previous credit facility therefore indicating a concession was granted by Laurus, we are viewed as a passive beneficiary of the restructuring, and no new transaction has occurred. Under SFAS 15, a modification of terms "is neither an event that results in a new asset or liability for accounting purposes nor an event that requires a new measurement of an existing asset or liability." Thus, from a debtor's standpoint, SFAS 15 calls for a modification of the terms of a loan to be accounted for prospectively. As a result, unamortized balances of $258,900 of deferred financing fees and $972,836 of debt discount and beneficial conversion features associated with the previous Laurus credit facility were netted along with the value of the new warrants issued of $344,155 against the new term debt related to the portion of the new debt that refinanced the Laurus debt and related accrued interest totaling $8,503,416 to provide a net carrying amount for that portion of the debt of $6,927,525. The carrying amount of the loan will be amortized over the term of the loan at a constant effective interest rate of 20% applied to the future cash payments specified by the new loan. (See Note 7 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements).

Subject to applicable cure periods, amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility are subject to acceleration upon certain events of default, including: (i) any failure to pay when due any amount we owe under the New Credit Facility; (ii) any material breach by us of any other covenant made to Laurus; (iii) any misrepresentation, in any material respect, made by us to Laurus in the documents governing the New Credit Facility; (iv) the institution of certain bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings by or against us; (v) the entry of certain monetary judgments greater than $50,000 against us that are not paid or vacated for a period of 30 business days; (vi) suspensions of trading of our common stock; (vii) any failure to deliver shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrant; (viii) certain defaults under agreements related to any of our other indebtedness; and (ix) changes of control of our company. Substantial fees and penalties are payable to Laurus in the event of a default.

Our obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by first priority security interests in all of the assets of our company and all of the assets of our GreenMan Technologies of Minnesota, Inc. and GreenMan Technologies of Iowa, Inc. subsidiaries, as well as by pledges of the capital stock of those subsidiaries. In January 2008, we granted Laurus additional security interests in the assets of Welch Products and its subsidiaries, which increased our borrowing base under the revolving note described above.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

Generally, we are exposed to the effects of inflation and changing prices. Given the largest component of our collection and disposal costs is transportation, we have been adversely affected by the significant increases in the cost of fuel. Additionally, because we rely on floating-rate debt for certain financing arrangements, rising interest rates in fiscal 2007 had a negative effect on our performance. We have generally been unaffected by interest rate declines in the first six months of fiscal 2008, because our Credit Facility bears interest at a minimum rate of 8.0%.

Based on our fiscal 2008 operating plan, available working capital, revenues from operations and anticipated availability under our working capital line of credit with Laurus, we believe we will be able to satisfy our cash requirements through fiscal 2008 at which time our Laurus principal payments increase substantially. We are currently in discussions with Laurus regarding an initial 12 month extension in the term of the credit facility as well as maintaining our current level of monthly principal payments through the remainder of the existing term and the potential extension term. If we are unable to restructure our remaining principal payments with Laurus or obtain additional financing, our ability to maintain our current level of operations could be materially and adversely affected and we may be required to adjust our operating plans accordingly.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We lease various facilities and equipment under cancelable and non-cancelable short and long term operating leases which are described in Note 7 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Form 10-KSB, as amended, filed for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

Risks Related to our Business

We have been profitable in the most recent quarter and four of the last consecutive quarters, lost money in the previous eighteen consecutive quarters. We may need additional working capital if we do not maintain profitability, which if not received, may force us to curtail operations.

As of June 30, 2008, we had $543,057 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficiency of $11,322,565 of which reflects the inclusion of $9.8 million of term debt due our primary lender, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., under the terms of our credit facility which matures June 30, 2009. Commencing October 1, 2008, our principal payments due to Laurus under this term debt are scheduled to increase substantially. We are currently in discussions with Laurus regarding an initial 12-month extension in the term of the credit facility as well as maintaining our current level of monthly principal payments through the remainder of the existing term and the potential extension term. If we are unable to restructure our remaining principal payments with Laurus or obtain additional financing, our ability to maintain our current level of operations could be materially and adversely affected and we may be required to adjust our operating plans accordingly.

We understand our continued existence is dependent on our ability to generate positive operating cash flow and achieve profitable status on a sustained basis for all operations.

The delisting of our common stock by the American Stock Exchange has limited our stock’s liquidity and could substantially impair our ability to raise capital.

Our common stock ceased trading on the American Stock Exchange on June 15, 2006 and was delisted by the Exchange on July 6, 2006 as result of our failure to maintain stockholders’ equity in excess of $4 million as required by the Exchange’s Company Guide when a company has incurred losses in three of the four most recent fiscal years. During the period of June 15 through June 20, 2006 we were traded on the Pink Sheet. On June 21, 2006, we began trading on the Over-The-Counter-Bulletin-Board under the symbol “GMTI”. We believe the delisting has limited our stock’s liquidity and could substantially impair our ability to raise capital.

We have substantial indebtedness to Laurus Master Fund secured by substantially all of our assets. If an event of default occurs under the secured notes issued to Laurus, Laurus may foreclose on our assets and we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations or sell some or all of our assets to repay the notes.

Subject to certain grace periods, the notes and agreements provide for the following events of default (among others):

failure to pay interest and principal when due;

an uncured breach by us of any material covenant, term or condition in any of the notes or related agreements;

a breach by us of any material representation or warranty made in any of the notes or in any related agreement;

any form of bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is instituted by or against us;

any money judgment or similar final process is filed against us for more than $50,000 that remains unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 30 business days;

suspension of our common stock from our principal trading market for five consecutive days or five days during any ten consecutive days;

any failure to deliver shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrant;

certain defaults under agreements related to any of our other indebtedness; and

changes of control of our company.

In the event of a future default under our agreements with Laurus, Laurus may enforce its rights as a secured party and we may lose all or a portion of our assets, be forced to materially reduce our business activities or cease operations.

We will require additional funding to grow our business, which funding may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If we do not obtain funding when we need it, our business will be adversely affected. In addition, if we have to sell securities in order to obtain financing, the rights of our current holders may be adversely affected.

We will have to seek additional outside funding sources to satisfy our future financing demands if our operations do not produce the level of revenue we require to maintain and grow our business. We cannot assure that outside funding will be available to us at the time that we need it and in the amount necessary to satisfy our needs, or, that if such funds are available, they will be available on terms that are favorable to us. If we are unable to secure financing when we need it, our business will be adversely affected and we may need to discontinue some or all of our operations. If we have to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock in order to secure additional funding, our current stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership of our shares. In the event that we issue securities or instruments other than common stock, we may be required to issue such instruments with greater rights than those currently possessed by holders of our common stock.

We may not be able to successfully integrate our recent acquisition of Welch Products, Inc into GreenMan and realize anticipated benefits.

On October 1, 2007, we acquired Welch Products, Inc., a company headquartered in Carlisle, Iowa, which specializes in design, product development, and manufacturing of environmentally responsible products using recycled materials, primarily recycled rubber. Since inception, Welch has invested significant amounts in sales and marketing efforts to promote their patented products and establish market presence but have not yet reached sustained profitability. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, Welch lost approximately $142,000 and $687,000 respectively. We understand our consolidated performance will be negatively impacted unless Welch begins generating positive operating cash flow and achieves profitable status on a sustained basis for all Welch operations.

Improvement in our business depends on our ability to increase demand for our products and services.

Factors that could limit demand for our products and services are adverse events or economic or other conditions affecting markets for our products and services, potential delays in product development, product and service flaws, changes in technology, changes in the regulatory environment and the availability of competitive products and services.

Our business is subject to extensive and rigorous government regulation; failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could substantially harm our business.

Our tire recycling activities are subject to extensive and rigorous government regulation designed to protect the environment. The establishment and operation of plants for tire recycling are subject to obtaining numerous permits and complying with environmental and other government regulations. The process of obtaining required regulatory approvals can be lengthy and expensive. The Environmental Protection Agency and comparable state and local regulatory agencies actively enforce environmental regulations and conduct periodic inspections to determine compliance with government regulations. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, suspensions of approvals, seizure or recall of products, operating restrictions, and criminal prosecutions. Furthermore, changes in existing regulations or adoption of new regulations could impose costly new procedures for compliance, or prevent us from obtaining, or affect the timing of, regulatory approvals.

The market in which we operate is highly competitive, fragmented and decentralized and our competitors may have greater technical and financial resources.

The market for our services is highly competitive, fragmented and decentralized. Many of our competitors are small regional or local businesses. Some of our larger competitors may have greater financial and technical resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies, changes in customer requirements, or devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their services. Competition could increase if new companies enter the markets in which we operate or our existing competitors expand their service lines. These factors may limit or prevent any further development of our business.

Our success depends on the retention of our senior management and other key personnel.

Our success depends largely on the skills, experience and performance of our senior management. The loss of any key member of senior management could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Seasonal factors may affect our quarterly operating results.

Seasonality may cause our total revenues to fluctuate. We typically process fewer tires during the winter and experience a more pronounced volume reduction in severe weather conditions. In addition, a majority of our crumb rubber is used for playground and athletic surfaces, running tracks and landscaping/groundcover applications which are typically installed during the warmer portions of the year. Similar seasonal or other patterns may develop in our business.

Inflation and changing prices may hurt our business.

Generally, we are exposed to the effects of inflation and changing prices. Primarily because the largest component of our collection and disposal costs is transportation, we have been adversely affected by significant increases in the cost of fuel. Additionally, because we rely on floating-rate debt for certain financing arrangements interest rates fluctuations will have an effect on our financial performance.

If we acquire other companies or businesses we will be subject to risks that could hurt our business.

A significant part of our business strategy entails future acquisitions or significant investments in businesses that offer complementary products and services. Promising acquisitions are difficult to identify and complete for a number of reasons. Any acquisitions completed by our company may be made at a premium over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired companies and competition may cause us to pay more for an acquired business than its long-term fair market value. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete future acquisitions on terms favorable to us or at all. In addition, we may not be able to integrate our Welch Products acquisition or any future acquired businesses, at all or without significant distraction of management into our ongoing business. In order to finance acquisitions, it may be necessary for us to issue shares of our capital stock to the sellers of the acquired businesses and/or to seek additional funds through public or private financings. Any equity or debt financing, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us and, in the case of an equity financing or the use of our stock to pay for an acquisition, may result in dilution to our existing stockholders.

As we grow, we are subject to growth related risks.

We are subject to growth-related risks, including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and personnel. In order to manage current operations and any future growth effectively, we will need to continue to implement and improve our operational, financial and management information systems and to hire, train, motivate, manage and retain employees. We may be unable to manage such growth effectively. Our management, personnel or systems may be inadequate to support our operations, and we may be unable to achieve the increased levels of revenue commensurate with the increased levels of operating expenses associated with this growth. Any such failure could have a material adverse impact on our business, operations and prospects. In addition, the cost of opening new facilities and the hiring of new personnel for those facilities could significantly decrease our profitability, if the new facilities do not generate sufficient additional revenue.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively minimize the possibility of fraud and its impact on our company. If we cannot continue to provide financial reports or effectively minimize the possibility of fraud, our business reputation and operating results could be harmed.

In addition, we will be required as currently proposed to include the management reports on internal controls as part of our annual report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and procedures. In particular, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting to allow management and our independent registered public accounting firm (commencing with the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009) to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts.

We cannot be certain as to the timing of the completion of our evaluation and testing, the timing of any remediation actions that may be required or the impact these may have on our operations. Furthermore, there is no precedent available by which to measure compliance adequacy. If we are not able to implement the requirements relating to internal controls and all other provisions of Section 404 in a timely fashion or achieve adequate compliance with these requirements or other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we might become subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities exchange on which we may be trading at that time, which action may be injurious to our reputation and affect our financial condition and decrease the value and liquidity of our common stock.
