Journey into the Maize - SWVC 5-1 R/S & TEN Billion Shares

Thomas Scozzafava, former CEO of GS Agrifuels, present CEO of SWVC sent out an interesting PR on Wednesday in which he said:

"I recently initiated efforts to secure the rights to the approximate 30% equity stake in GS AgriFuels, which in early 2008 merged into GreenShift Corporation. While the outcome of these efforts is yet to be determined, I will certainly pursue the maximum value owed to Seaway and its shareholders." http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20080723005683&newsLang=en

Two days later, on Friday the 25th of July, SWVC filed with the SEC a 5-1 R/S and an increase to 10 Billion Shares OS. 10 BILLION! Could the purpose of the PR be as simple as a need to give SWVC shareholders a head fake, two days before they get a reverse split? Is this more about SWVC than it is about GERS? Or is it more complex? http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/884380/000129092908000063/seaway14cjul08.htm

The Skunk thought this 30% claim was interesting enough to query GERS. I received a prompt answer from Greenshift Investor Relations and posted it on the blog. It did not comment directly on the TS claim but it did reference appropriate filings. I will be the first to say I know little on this subject. After a bit of reading I still know very little. Luckily for you, that has never stopped me from telling you what I think. LOL

First, this is what I think: It seems that Thomas Scozzafava (TS) was the Vice President of Acquisitions and Investments for Greenshift Corp 2005 to Dec 2006. He received almost 400K shares of GS Agrifuels for this trouble. He next was the CEO of GS Agrifuels from December of 2006 to Dec 2007. During these times they picked up Next Gen Fuels, Sustainable Systems, the Zero Point Investment and the Corn Oil Extraction Systems***(see below). This is basically the majority of the stuff that gives value or short term potential to our present company. He claims to be a significant shareholder (30%) of GS AgriFuels Corporation. This is the part I do not yet understand. In June of '07 TS was supposed to get 378,653 series "C" preferred stock of GS Agrifuels. He could not get them since even the promise to get them was a breach of the debt agreement with YAGI. This was explained in the 10 Jan '08 document. TS left the company in mid December 2007. The company was then taken private and 50cents/share were paid out to the minority shareholders in early 2008. From what I understand the shares are held privately as collateral by the YAGI debt agreement. GERS and friends cannot buy, sell or give them away until that debt goes away. So these disputed series "C" shares appear to be the basis for the TS claim. He did borrow $250,000 to the company, but I hope that no one thinks that equates to 30% of GS Agrifuels. On December 28, 2006, GS AgriFuels issued to Seaway Valley Fund, LLC aconvertible debenture due December 28, 2008 with a face amount of $250,000 formonies received in January 2007 by GS AgriFuels from Seaway Valley in the amountof $250,000. This debenture and the accompanying accrued interest in the amountof $7,726 were paid in full during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. I would have hoped some sort of signed severance settlement had taken place when TS left to clear all this up. Any insight by a reader would be appreciated.

It is hard to prove the merits (or fallacy) of his claim. Here are some of my questions:

1. Why is the claim being made now? Is he claiming that GS Agrifuels is being taken public due to GERS default to YAGI? Or is he claiming that the entire Debt to YAGI has been paid? Those, I assume are the only two reasons for the private stock to be freed up.

2. Is he stirring the pot trying to entice investors to pick up his SWVC stock that is lingering sub-Penny? OR is he trying to stir up a cash settlement from GERS - threatening a legal battle over old claims? OR are his claims somehow legit and he is bringing it public to try and force the issue? I am not implying anything here, just looking for possible answers to my questions.

Second, here is the fact/time-line the Skunk found:

**TIMELINE of GS Agrifuels Investments:

From 2005 to about Dec 26, 2006, Mr. Scozzafava was employed by GreenShift Corporation as Vice President of Acquisitions and Investments. GS AgriFuels issued 399,792 shares of common stock to Mr.Scozzafava in compensation for those services. Here is the detail of his employment:

On July 6, 2007, GS AgriFuels signed an Employment Agreement with Tom Scozzafava with an effective date of January 1, 2007. Under the terms of this agreement,Tom Scozzafava has been employed by GS AgriFuels as its President and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement is for a term of five years and shall be automatically renewed for additional one-year terms until either party gives at least a sixty date written notice of termination. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Scozzafava shall be paid an annual salary of $150,000 and will be eligible to fully participate in all benefit plans maintained by GS AgriFuels. The salary will increase to $250,000 per year if GS AgriFuels completes an equity financing for $25,000,000 at a per share valuation of $3.00 or greater. In connection with the execution of the Employment Agreement, GreenShift Corporation assigned to Mr. Scozzafava 378,653 shares of GS AgriFuels' Series CPreferred Stock. The Company accrued $54,526 in consulting fees related to this transfer of shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Mr. Scozzafava received $104,531 as compensation for past services.

January 20, 2006 Kevin Kreisler first signs as CEO for Hugo International Telecom, Inc.

On May 18, 2006, Soon to be "GS Agrifuels" 1:1000 reverse stock split became effective.

On June 7, 2006, the Company acquired Mean Green BioFuels, Inc., a newly formed company, from GreenShift Corporation.

On July 27, 2006, the Company changed the name from Hugo International Telecom, Inc. to GS AgriFuels Corporation.

In August 2006, GS AgriFuels acquired an approximate 10% interest in ZeroPointClean Tech, Inc.

On October 31, 2006, GS AgriFuels purchased 100% of the outstanding capital stock of NextGen Fuel.

On December 21, 2006 the Board of Directors of GS AgriFuels appointed Tom Scozzafava to the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr.Scozzafava accepted the positions on December 26, 2006.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company owned 13% of Sustainable System, Inc.

As of December 31, 2006, GS AgriFuels had no employees, but Thomas Scozzafava and Kevin Kreisler served on an "at will" basis as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. It is anticipated that in 2007 Mr. Scozzafava shall become a full-time employee of the Company. Thomas Scozzafava (TS) was the CEO of GS Agrifuels for about one year? - from Dec 2006 till Dec 2007.

Skunk note: On December 28, 2006, TS gave the company $250,000 and the Company issued him a Convertible Debenture due December 28, 2008 for $250,000 plus 8% interest. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1120802/000126912707000052/gsa10k2006.txt A'06

March 2007, GSAgriFuels completed the acquisition of the remaining 87% of the outstanding capital stock of Sustainable Systems, Inc.

In June 2007, and subject to the satisfaction of GS AgriFuels' outstanding obligations to Lender, GS AgriFuels agreed to issue to GreenShift Corporation 1,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in GS AgriFuels (the "Preferred Shares"), from which GreenShift agreed to assign 378,653 shares Series C Preferred Stock in GS AgriFuels to a former officer (Skunk Note: this has to be TS) of GS AgriFuels subject to Lender's first priority security interest in all of the stock and assets of GS AgriFuels.

While none of the Preferred Shares were issued because issuance of the Preferred Shares would have constituted a material breach of GS AgriFuels' Debentures and Transaction Documents with Lender (collectively, the "Transaction Documents"), GS AgriFuels' agreement to issue and GreenShift's agreement to assign the Preferred Shares were made in contravention of both GS AgriFuels' Transaction Documents and GreenShift's various agreements with Lender.

There are lots of things that could put GERS into default with YAGI here is a list of things that have recent deadlines.

GERS could be in default to Yagi if:

"7.1.16 June 30, 2008. The Borrower's affiliate, Sustainable Systems LLC, shall fail to have closed upon the purchase of the Title To Montana Property. "

"In the event that GS AgriFuels and/or any of its affiliates fails to pay Lender a minimum of $7,500,000 on or before July 1, 2008. . . . . GS CleanTech shall take GS AgriFuels public againas provided herein (the "Go Public Transaction")"

Only True GERS affectionados beyond this point!

Still not had enough?? Are you someone who can read anything on this company? Well even the Skunk had trouble plodding through this story. It appears GERS somehow got mixed up in Canadian Liberal/Tory politics. Not by what it did, but rather by its name matching some new political catch phrase up in the Great White North, eh? or is it aye?

PS. Even the Skunk's blog got a mention in the post article comments. Thanks for the plug "sharonapple88".

**Note: I am a shareholder - I do not work for, nor do I receive any direct or indirect payment from GERS or anyone associated with them. (But it would be Kapitalist Kool if I did) I will not intentionally mislead - but I can be wrong (ask Mrs. Skunk for specific frequencies) - so do your own due diligence - and take responsibility for your own financial decisions – (and your own life in general) good or bad. And some good garage logic luck to ya.
