We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among other things: † general economic and business conditions, both nationally and in our markets, † our expectations and estimates concerning future financial performance, financing plans and the impact of competition, † our ability to implement our growth strategy, † anticipated trends in our business, † advances in technologies, and † other risk factors set forth herein.

Quadra Projects Inc. (the "Company") undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this prospectus.

As used in this current report, the terms "we", "us", "our" and the "Company" refer to Quadra Projects Inc. and its subsidiary. History The Company was previously a distributor of an electronic non invasive acupuncture pen (the "Pen") as an alternative to traditional needles used during acupuncture treatments. The Company previously had a distribution agreement which entitles the Company to market and sell the Pen on an exclusive basis throughout Asia (with the exception of China), Middle East and the Caribbean. The Company obtained its distribution rights through a company based in Taiwan. The Company entered into this distribution agreement on November 30, 2007 for a period of 10 years. Operations were based in Taiwan, commencing June 2007. The Company did not generate revenues from appointed sub distributions and minimum quotas were not fulfilled. Upon further market research, it was determined that pursuing the marketing and sale of this product was not as profitable as previously projected. Therefore, all efforts relating to the distribution and marketing of the Pen were ceased. Effective April 30, 2009, the Company completed its acquisition of its subsidiary, Quadra Energy Systems Inc. ("Energy Systems"). Energy Systems was incorporated under the laws of Belize and prior to being acquired, had no prior operating history with no assets, liabilities or equity. Energy Systems has an authorized capital of 50,000 common shares and has issued 5,000 shares to the Company for consideration of $ 5,000. The Company holds 100% of the outstanding shares of Energy Systems. - 9 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technology Purchase Agreement Effective April 30, 2009, Energy Systems completed its acquisition of Energy Conversion and Waste Disposal Technology ("Acquired Technologies") from Quadra Marketing Corp. ("Quadra Marketing") under the Technology Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"). Acquired Technologies consist of equipment and software for pyrolysis systems consisting of QES 2000S and QES Mobile Systems (the "QES Systems") which is a non polluting energy conversion and waste disposal system designed to convert organic waste to fuel and valuable by-products such as activated carbon, fertilizer, producing no air pollution or ash. The Systems are modular in design and fit into a 42 ft container. Quadra Marketing has transferred to Energy Systems the title and rights of the Acquired Technologies along with engineering and design drawings, studies and reports and all information relating to the Acquired Technologies, whether written or oral and related technologies including the past, present and future versions software, computer programs, data and text (regardless of the form in which it including but not limited to the source code version thereof and the batch processor logic module) and all patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights and other proprietary rights in and thereto including all documentation for the software, all technical documentation, system designs and specifications, flow charts, record and file layouts, memoranda, correspondence and other such documentation containing or relating to the design, structure or coding or testing of, or algorithms or routines used in, or errors discovered or corrected in, the software and any other type of information or material relating to the software and invention and related technology that was prepared by or for the inventor of the Acquired Technologies. For consideration of our acquisition of the Acquired Technologies, we shall remit 10% of gross sales generated from use of the Acquired Technologies and 10% of the net proceeds of sales of the QES Systems to Quadra Marketing. Our objective is to utilize the market of converting material generally recognized as having little or no value and which are or have been in the past, treated as waste and improperly discharged, discarded or dumped in landfills to saleable products. By offering an efficient, non-polluting, high quality and comparatively low cost pyrolytic and gasification system to treat the waste as feedstock, the QES Systems will convert the waste materials into marketable by-products or valuable energy sources - a relatively low cost solution for remediation of environmental problems worldwide. Joint Ventures It is our intention to market the QES Systems through joint ventures with qualified interests in establishing joint ventures and establishing waste conversion operations. Avani Corporation, Zhunger Capital Partners Inc. On October 28, 2009, Energy Systems entered into an agreement with Avani Corporation SDN BHD ("Avani") of Malaysia, and Zhunger Capital Partners Inc. ("Zhunger") of Taiwan, to exclusively market the QES Systems conversion system in Korea, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Egypt (the "Avani/Zhunger Territories"). The agreement also provides that Avani and Zhunger may establish joint ventures with third parties for the establishment of an assembly facility and/or manufacturing plant in the Avani/ Zhunger Territories. Avani and Zhunger will also be granted rights to locate and appoint key distributors and agents. Energy Systems shall grant Avani and Zhunger the right to locate and appoint key distributors and agents, wherein this will also include the granting of a right to the distributors and agents to, use and demonstrate the QES Systems, when one is manufactured for the Avani/Zhunger Territories, advertise, market, sell and otherwise distribute the QES Systems in the Avani/Zhunger Territories to customers who are end users and/or joint venture partners, advertise, market, sell, and otherwise distribute the QES Systems in the Avani/Zhunger Territories to sub-distributors or sub-agents for further distribution to end users and/or joint venture partners, screen and select a funding group to joint venture in the establishment of an assembly facility and/or manufacturing plant in the Avani/Zhunger Territories for the QES Systems. The agreement is effective October 30, 2009 for a term of 20 years. - 10 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Joint Venture with Avani would involve the building of several plants to process palm husks in Malaysia and Indonesia. Currently each palm oil plant operating in Malaysia and Indonesia, after extraction of the palm oil, generates between 300 to 1,000 tons of palm husk remnants per day creating a major disposal problem for each palm oil plant. We offer an environmentally friendly solution for dealing with the palm husks by creating marketable by products such as N220 grade carbon black, using the QES Systems. On April 16, 2010, Energy Systems entered into an agreement with Avani and Zhunger to redefine the terms of the agreement dated October 28, 2009 whereas Energy Systems would reclaim all rights in the Avani and Zhunger Territories as previously defined in the October 28, 2009 agreement ("Reclaimed Territories"), for consideration of 10% of net profits of any joint venture or other business venture involving the QES Systems. Energy Systems shall have the right to use and demonstrate the QES Systems, advertise, market and otherwise create joint ventures for QES Systems and related QES Systems plants ("Systems and Plants") in the Reclaimed Territories to potential joint venture partners, advertise, market and otherwise source joint venture partners for the System and Plants in the Reclaimed Territories to sub-agents for further sourcing of joint venture partners. Energy Systems also has the right to use its affiliated officers, personnel and technical team to market and source joint venture partners for the System and Plants in the Reclaimed Territories, apply and pay for the patent rights in the countries progressively targeted, source funding on a best efforts basis for the System and Plants in the Reclaimed Territories. Distribution Networks We have appointed Ameco Industries Inc, ("Ameco") and 7510446 Canada Inc. ("Canada Inc") as exclusive distributors for the U.S., Canada, respectively. We have also appointed Quadra Marketing Corp. as world wide exclusive distributor with the exception of regions appointed. We have marketed the QES Systems in the Caribbean and have entered into joint venture agreement Imex International Corp. ("Imex") for the establishment of a QES Systems Plant in Jamaica, West Indies. Imex - Joint Venture - Jamaica, West Indies On May 31, 2010, Energy Systems entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Imex, to establish a QES Systems Plant for used tire conversion to biochar and fuel oil in Jamaica ("Imex Joint Venture"). The agreement supersedes the February 15, 2010 purchase agreement wherein Imex was to purchase one QES Systems at a total cost of $650,000 of which $ 450,000 relates to the cost of the System and $ 200,000 relates to cost of additional equipment. The Imex Joint Venture enables us to establish a QES Systems Conversion Plant ("Plant") in Jamaica under a joint venture structure with 60% equity interest to us and 40% to Imex. The Joint Venture will operate under the name Carib Green Industries. For Imex to earn the 40% equity interest, Imex must source and deliver the feedstock material of used tires and also be the general operator of the Plant for operations in Jamaica. Imex is responsible for sourcing a suitable facility for joint venture operations. As a joint venture partner, Imex is entitled to exclusive importation and distribution rights of the QES Systems in the Caribbean. At this time we have not finalized a formal importation and distribution agreement with Quadra. Imex will also be responsible for marketing by-products, specifically biochar to target markets of landscapers. For Energy Systems to earn 60% equity interest, QES must deliver, install and train staff to operate the QES Systems. Energy Systems will provide all required technical support and management services if needed. Energy Systems will be responsible for undertaking development of special applications of the QES Systems if required, maintain the QES Systems and develop upgraded versions of the QES Systems, market the by-products generated, sourcing all required licenses, approvals to manufacture, sell, and market by-products, and complying with all environmental rules and regulations. - 11 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Title and ownership for any QES Systems installed shall remain the property of Energy Systems until payment of the amount of $650,000 from the earnings of the joint venture for such installed QES Systems shall be paid to Energy Systems. When this amount is paid, title and ownership of the QES Systems will pass to the Joint Venture however use of the technologies as defined above as the "Acquired Technologies" will be licensed for a period of 40 years.
