ITEM 1
BUSINESS
The Company’s operations during 2010 consisted of research and evaluation of a number of technologies designed to refine industrial and municipal wastewaters into hydrocarbon feedstocks for carbon-neutral production of renewable fuels, plastics and other value-added products. The Company’s strategy is to develop a wastewater recycling facility based on such technologies to produce value-added products.
During 2010, the Company located and conducted due diligence into a site in Raynham, Massachusetts (“Raynham”) with the potential to host a wastewater recycling facility and to provide a platform for pilot testing and commercialization of the Company’s technologies. These efforts culminated in the execution of a series of agreements in October 2010 to finance, build and operate a wastewater recycling facility at the Raynham site. The Company additionally agreed to purchase certain equipment from the owners of the Raynham site for $200,000, which amount is payable in the form of a convertible debenture upon closing of financing with respect to the construction of the planned wastewater recycling facility. The Company is currently seeking financing for this facility and plans to initially raise about $1 million to complete initial construction.
In October 2009, the Company and GS CleanTech Corporation (“CleanTech”) entered into an Early Adopter License Agreement (the “EALA”) involving use of CleanTech’s patent-pending lipid production technologies in industrial and municipal wastewater applications. Under the terms of the EALA, the Company also has the right to purchase equipment based on CleanTech’s feedstock conditioning technologies at cost. In return, the Company has agreed to pay CleanTech a license fee equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company upon the Company’s successful execution of a third party agreement by the Company for a demonstration-scale pilot facility based on the licensed technologies. In addition, CleanTech retains the right to purchase any lipids or other co-products produced by the Company or its licensees at a rate equal to 80% of the then-current market price of any such products. CleanTech is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GreenShift Corporation, which company is majority owned by Mr. Kreisler, who is also the beneficial owner of the majority of our capital stock.
The Company utilizes the services of consultants to conserve costs and defray risk as it executes on its project and technology development plans. During 2010, the Company incurred $167,500 in costs relating to the services and expenses of its consultants.
The Company’s goals for 2011 are to complete the financing required for the facility described above and to complete construction; commence operations at the Raynham site; and, initiate pilot testing with the Company’s technologies at the Raynham site. The Company also plans to continue to seek possible acquisition targets that bring strategic assets, cash flows or management to the Company in ways that also defray the Company’s financial and technology risk.
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. The Company has no established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our ability to raise capital will depend on our success in obtaining financing and our success in developing revenue sources.
ITEM 1A
ITEM 1A
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider these risks described below before buying our common stock. If any of the risks described below actually occurs, that event could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
There is substantial doubt concerning our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company had a loss from continuing operations of $275,624 during the year ended December 31, 2010, and had $0 in cash at December 31, 2010. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include raising additional proceeds from debt and equity transactions and completing strategic acquisitions.
We are implementing new business plans which make the results of our business uncertain.
Our limited operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business. Therefore, our proposed operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the initial expenses, challenges, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of any new business, as well as those risks that are specific to the biodiesel, ethanol and culinary oils industry in general. Investors should evaluate an investment in our company in light of the problems and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies attempting to develop markets for new products, services and technologies. Despite best efforts, we may never overcome these obstacles to achieve financial success. Our business is speculative and dependent upon the implementation of our business plan, as well as our ability to enter into agreements with third parties for necessary financing, the provision of necessary feedstock sources, engineering, procurement and construction services and the sale and distribution of our biodiesel fuel on terms that will be commercially viable for us. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or result in revenue or profit. There is no assurance that we will earn significant revenues or that our investors will not lose their entire investment.
The fiscal efficiencies of highly capitalized competitors in biotechnology could defeat our efforts to capture a viable market share.
The business of developing new biotechnologies is a capital-intense business, requiring substantial capital resources. The costs that we may incur in obtaining capital are substantially greater per dollar than the cost incurred by large scale enterprises in the industry. This situation could cause us to be unable to compete effectively.
We lack capital to fund our operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2010 our operations used $0 in cash.
Our failure to attract qualified engineers and management personnel could hinder our success.
Our ability to attract and retain qualified engineers and other professional personnel when we need them will be a major factor in determining our future success. There is a very competitive market for individuals with advanced engineering training, and we are not assured of being able to retain the personnel we will need.
Key personnel are critical to our business and our future success depends on our ability to retain them.
Our success depends on the contributions of our management. The loss of management could result in lost sales opportunities, lost business, difficulties raising additional funds and could therefore significantly impair our financial condition. Our future success depends on our ability to retain and expand our staff of qualified personnel, including environmental technicians, sales personnel and engineers.
Viridis Capital can exert control over us and may not make decisions that further the best interests of all stockholders.
Viridis Capital, LLC, which company is solely owned by the Company’s chairman, controls 51.2% of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, Viridis exerts a significant degree of influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in control of us and might affect the market price of our common stock, even when a change in control may be in the best interest of all stockholders. Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders and accordingly, they could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements which we would not otherwise consider.
Investing in our stock is highly speculative and you could lose some or all of your investment.
The value of our common stock may decline and may be affected by numerous market conditions, which could result in the loss of some or the entire amount invested in our stock. The securities markets frequently experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that affect market prices for securities of companies generally and very small capitalization companies such as us in particular.
The volatility of the market for the Company’s common stock may prevent a shareholder from obtaining a fair price for his shares.
The common stock of the Company is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. It is impossible to say that the market price on any given day reflects the fair value of the Company, since the price sometimes moves up or down by 50% or more in a week’s time. A shareholder in the Company who wants to sell his shares, therefore, runs the risk that at the time he wants to sell, the market price may be much less than the price he would consider to be fair.
Our common stock qualifies as a "penny stock" under SEC rules which may make it more difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares of our common stock.
Our common stock trades on the “OTCBB”. As a result, the holders of our common stock may find it more difficult to obtain accurate quotations concerning the market value of the stock. Stockholders also may experience greater difficulties in attempting to sell the stock than if it were listed on a stock exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ National Market or the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market. Because our common stock does not trade on a stock exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market or the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market, and the market price of the common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock qualifies as a "penny stock." SEC Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as an "established customer" or an "accredited investor." This includes the requirement that a broker-dealer must make a determination on the appropriateness of investments in penny stocks for the customer and must make special disclosures to the customer concerning the risks of penny stocks. Application of the penny stock rules to our common stock affects the market liquidity of the shares, which in turn may affect the ability of holders of our common stock to resell the stock.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
The Company currently maintains office at 5950 Shiloh Road East, Suite N, Alpharetta, GA 30004. The lease for this space expires in February of 2012. We paid $0 in rent during 2010. During 2010 we are being permitted to use the premises for no charge by GreenShift Corporation, the primary tenant. We believe these offices will be sufficient for our needs until we successfully complete the financing and construction of our planned facility in Raynham, Massachusetts.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
During August 2009, a legal action titled LaCombe v. R&R Warren et al. v Enviro-Safe. Corp. and P&A Construction, Inc. was filed against a former subsidiary of the Company in the Superior Court of Norfolk, Massachusetts. The subsidiary, Mashpee Holdings Corporation, formerly known as Enviro-Safe, Corp., was included as a third-party defendant in the suit. The suit was brought by R&R Warren which is an oil company that was engaged to clean up an oil spill in the LaCombe household. R&R Warren states that Enviro-Safe Corp. did not follow proper procedures in cleaning up the spill. Enviro-Safe Corp., along with P&A Construction, Inc., the contractor that Enviro -Safe Corp. engaged, deny the charges. In January 2011, the lawsuit was settled. Enviro-Safe Corp.’s portion was paid by its insurance carrier.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009
General and administrative expenses for continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $251,138 as compared to $197,996 for the corresponding period in 2009. The amount incurred for 2010 included $83,638 in general and administrative expenses, $97,500 in consulting fees and $70,000 in expenses relating to the development of the Company’s planned Raynham, Massachusetts recycling facility.
Total other expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $24,486 and $31,980, respectively. Included in the year ended December 31, 2010 was $23,934 of interest expense as well as $552 in non-cash expenses associated with the changes in the conversion features embedded in the convertible debentures issued by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2010. Included in the year ended December 31, 2009 was $15,120 of interest expense as well as $26,115 in non-cash expenses associated with the changes in the conversion features embedded in the convertible debentures issued by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2009.
The Company accounts for convertible debt in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 815, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debenture could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares. We calculate the fair value of the conversion feature at the time of issuance and record a conversion liability for the calculated value, which is added to the carrying value of the debenture. We also recognize changes in value for accretion of the conversion liability from present value to fair value over the term of the note. The additional costs for the conversion features of $552 for the year ended December 31, 2010 has been recognized within other income (expense) as changes in conversion liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company produced no cash from its operating activities during 2010, as compared to $154,798 cash used in 2009. Non-cash adjustments for operations recorded for the year ended December 31, 2010 consisted of an adjustment to cost of conversion feature totaling $552. Non-cash adjustments for continuing operations recorded for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $51,024 and consisted of $24,909 change in allowance and $26,115 cost of conversion feature. Accounts payable at December 31, 2010 totaled $36,976, an increase of $18,911 from the December 31, 20098 balance of $18,065. Accrued expenses at December 31, 2010 totaled $271,010, an increase of $253,922 from the December 31, 2009 balance of $17,088. The Company had a negative working capital position of $531,373 as of December 31, 2010 as compared to a negative working capital position of $255,749 as of December 31, 2009.
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. The Company has no established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our ability to raise capital will depend on our success in obtaining financing and our success in developing revenue sources.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of GS EnviroServices, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of GS EnviroServices, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010. GS EnviroServices’ management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GS EnviroServices, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue and has a working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2010. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)
Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding during a period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options, assuming the exercise of all stock options. Common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Potentially future dilutive shares at December 2010 are 705,600 shares from the conversions of 705,600 outstanding options and warrants and 12,857,516 shares from the potential conversion of the $196,720 convertible debenture (see Note 3 - Convertible Debenture).
NOTE 3
CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
Effective on June 3, 2009, James Green resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer and sole member of GS EnviroServices Board of Directors. Pursuant to an Exchange Agreement dated June 3, 2009 James Green delivered to GS EnviroServices 7,968,540 shares of GS EnviroServices common stock (the "Exchange Shares"). In exchange for the Exchange Shares, GS EnviroServices issued to Mr. Green a Convertible Debenture and agreed to issue one million shares of Series A preferred Stock, when authorized.
The Convertible Debenture is in the principal amount of $240,000, although payment of $24,000 against that principal obligation was made by GS EnviroServices immediately. The remaining principal is payable with 12% per annum interest in monthly payments of $38,562 commencing in October 2009, with the final payment due on February 26, 2010. Interest is payable in cash or in shares of GS EnviroServices common stock, at GS EnviroServices’ option. The holder may convert the principal amount and accrued interest into common stock of GS EnviroServices at a conversion price equal to 90% of the lowest closing market price during the 20 trading days preceding conversion, but may not convert into shares that would cause it to own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of GS EnviroServices. The Company determined that the conversion feature valued at $26,667 of the convertible debenture met the criteria of ASC 480-10-25-14 to be recorded as a liability as it could result in the note being converted into a variable number of shares. At the commitment date, the Company determined the value of the Green Convertible Debentures to be an aggregate $264,827, which represented the face values of $240,000 plus the present values of the liability for the conversion features of $24,827. The Company recorded the $24,827 to interest expense at the commitment dates of the debentures. The difference between the fair value of the conversion feature and the present value is being accreted through interest expense. For the year ended December 31, 2010, an expense of $552 was recorded as interest expense for the accretion of the discount from the liability of the conversion feature. In October 2009, the Company issued a partial monthly payment of $19,280 reducing the principal to $196,720. As of December 31, 2010, the Company is in default of this debenture. Accrued interest on this note as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 of $39,054 and $15,120, respectively, is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying Balance Sheets.
In the Exchange Agreement, GS EnviroServices undertook to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock, when authorized and issued, will provide the holder with the right to cast votes at meetings of the shareholders or by written consent equal to 51% of the voting power of the outstanding shares.
GS EnviroServices is holding the Exchange Shares in escrow. The Exchange Shares will not be cancelled until the Series A Preferred Stock is issued.
On June 3, 2009 James Green transferred to Viridis Capital, LLC his beneficial interest in the Exchange Shares, including his right to receive the Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for the Exchange Shares. Kevin Kreisler, the newly appointed CEO of GS EnviroServices, is the sole member of Viridis Capital, LLC.

NOTE 5
INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The benefit from (provision for) income taxes as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consisted of the following:
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is not likely that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
COMMON STOCK
The Company filed an information Statement during the second quarter 2010 notifying the stockholders of the Company that the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of GS EnviroServices, Inc. have given their written consent to a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of GS EnviroServices to amend the certificate of incorporation of GS EnviroServices so as to increase the authorized common stock from 100,000,000 shares, $.001 par value, to 10,000,000,000 shares, $.0001 par value, and to increase the authorized preferred stock from 1,000,000 shares, $.001 par value, to 5,000,000 shares, $.001 par value.

The Company is party to a consulting agreement with James Green for services in connection with developing a renewable energy project that is capable of generating income and cash flow at rates sufficient to realize a return on capital within less than three years from the project’s commencement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to compensate James Green for prior services which commenced March 1, 2010.

During 2010, the Company located and conducted due diligence into a site in Raynham, Massachusetts (“Raynham”) with the potential to host a wastewater recycling facility and to provide a platform for pilot testing and commercialization of the Company’s technologies. These efforts culminated in the execution of a series of agreements in October 2010 to finance, build and operate a wastewater recycling facility at the Raynham site. The Company additionally agreed to purchase certain equipment from the owners of the Raynham site for $200,000, which amount is payable in the form of a convertible debenture upon closing of financing with respect to the construction of the planned wastewater recycling facility. The Company is currently seeking financing for this facility and plans to initially raise about $1 million to complete initial construction.
During August 2009, a legal action titled LaCombe v. R&R Warren et al. v Enviro-Safe. Corp. and P&A Construction, Inc. was filed against a former subsidiary of the Company in the Superior Court of Norfolk, Massachusetts. The subsidiary, Mashpee Holdings Corporation, formerly known as Enviro-Safe, Corp., was included as a third-party defendant in the suit. The suit was brought by R&R Warren which is an oil company that was engaged to clean up an oil spill in the LaCombe household. R&R Warren states that Enviro-Safe Corp. did not follow proper procedures in cleaning up the spill. Enviro-Safe Corp., along with P&A Construction, Inc., the contractor that Enviro -Safe Corp. engaged, deny the charges. In January 2011, the lawsuit was settled. Enviro-Safe Corp.’s portion was paid by its insurance carrier.

RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On June 23, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with James Green for services in connection with developing a renewable energy project that is capable of generating income and cash flow at rates sufficient to realize a return on capital within less than three years from the project’s commencement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to compensate James Green for prior services which commenced March 1, 2010.

The tables below summarize the impact of the restatement described above on financial information previously reported on the Company’s Forms 10-Q for the periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2010. The restatement did not impact cash flow from operating, investing, or financing activities.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer participated in and supervised the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company had a material weakness because it did not have a sufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) that are commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements. As a result, Management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at December 31, 2010.
There have been no changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management has conducted, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, an assessment, including testing of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The assessment was conducted using the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with management’s assessment of the company’s internal control over financial reporting, management identified the following material weakness in the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. Management determined that at December 31, 2010, the company had a material weakness related to its control environment because it did not have a sufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience commensurate with its financial reporting requirements. This material weakness resulted in the identification of adjustments during the financial statement close process that have been recorded in the financial statements.
Because of the material weakness described above, management has concluded that the company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
