Statement and the Notice of Meeting will be brought before the Special Meeting.
However, if other matters are properly presented before the Special Meeting, the
persons named as proxy appointees will vote upon such matters in accordance with
their best judgment. The grant of a proxy also will confer discretionary
authority on the persons named as proxy appointees to vote in accordance with
their best judgment on matters incidental to the conduct of the Special Meeting.
ENTITLEMENT TO VOTE
All holders of record of our shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share
(the "Common Stock"), at the close of business on August 25 2006 (the "Record
Date"), will be entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting for each one share

may do so by voting those shares at the Special Meeting or by proxy in the
manner described below under "Voting of Proxies."
Persons who hold shares of our Common Stock in a "street name" through a broker
or other financial institution must follow the instructions regarding how to
direct the voting of their shares provided by such broker or financial
institution.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
This solicitation of proxies is being made by the Company. We will solicit
proxies initially by mail. Further solicitations may be made by our directors,
officers or employees personally, by telephone, facsimile, e-mail, internet or
otherwise, but they will not be specifically compensated for these services.
Upon request, we will reimburse brokers, dealers, banks or similar entities
acting as nominees for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding copies
of the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of our Common
Stock they hold as of the record date. We will bear the expenses incurred in
connection with printing, filing and mailing of this Proxy Statement.
VOTING OF PROXIES
Stockholders may vote the shares of Common Stock owned by them on the Record
Date either by attending the Special Meeting in person or completing and
returning a written proxy to the office of our proxy agent, as indicated on the
instructions for completion of the proxy. Execution of a proxy will not affect a
stockholder's right to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person.
All shares of Common Stock represented by a properly executed proxy received at
or prior to the Special Meeting will be voted in accordance with the
instructions contained in that proxy.
REVOCATION OF PROXIES
Stockholders may revoke a proxy, at any time before it is voted, by:
(a) executing and delivering a written notice of revocation of proxy to our

Special Meeting; or

Any written revocation of proxy or subsequent later-dated proxy should be

202, 5440 W. Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89146, Facsimile: (702) 382-1759.
ATTENDANCE AT THE SPECIAL MEETING WILL NOT, BY ITSELF, REVOKE A STOCKHOLDER'S
PROXY WITHOUT THE GIVING OF NOTICE OF AN INTENT TO REVOKE THAT PROXY.
IF A PROPERLY EXECUTED AND RETURNED PROXY DOES NOT INDICATE THE STOCKHOLDER'S
CHOICE ON ANY OF THE PROPOSALS IN THE ACCOMPANYING NOTICE OF MEETING, THE SHARES
REPRESENTED BY THAT PROXY WILL BE VOTED FOR THE APPROVAL OF THAT PROPOSAL.
Shares represented at the Special Meeting by proxy will be voted for or against
matters not listed in the accompanying Notice of Meeting that may be properly
brought before the Special Meeting at the discretion of the persons named in the
proxy as proxyholders. We are not aware of any such matters to be presented at
the Special Meeting.
DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the
stockholders. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of this Proxy Statement
to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the document was
delivered upon oral or written request to:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tree Top Industries, Inc.,
c/o Harold P. Gewerter, Esq.,
5440 W. Sahara Avenue, Suite 202,
Las Vegas, NV 89146.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stockholders may also address future requests for separate delivery of Proxy
Statements and/or annual reports by contacting us at the address listed above.
QUORUM FOR MEETING
In order to hold a valid meeting of our stockholders, a quorum equal to a
majority|D6| of the shares of Common Stock outstanding must be represented at
the meeting. These shares may be represented in person or represented by proxy.
Stockholders who abstain from voting on any or all proposals, but who are
present at the Special Meeting or represented at the Special Meeting by a
properly executed proxy will have their shares counted as present for the
purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Broker non-votes will also be
counted as present at the Special Meeting for the purpose of determining the
presence of a quorum. However, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be
counted either in favor or against any of the proposals brought before the
Special Meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a broker for the
account of a beneficial owner are not voted for or against a particular proposal
because the broker has not received voting instructions from that beneficial
owner and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares.
In the event that a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, or in the
event that a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve the proposal are
not received, the persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card may
propose one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to permit further
solicitation of proxies. The persons named as proxies will vote upon such
adjournment after consideration of all circumstances that may bear upon a
decision to adjourn the Special Meeting. Any business that might have been
transacted at the Special Meeting originally called may be transacted at any
such adjourned session(s) at which a quorum is present. The Company will pay the
costs of preparing and distributing to shareholders additional proxy materials,
if required in connection with any adjournment. Any adjournment will require the
affirmative vote of a majority of those securities represented at the Special
Meeting in person or by proxy.
VOTES REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL
In order for a proposal to be approved, the number of votes cast at the Special
Meeting in favor of the proposal must be greater than the number of votes cast
against the proposal. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were
252,179 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote (following
reverse of 100:1). The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our
Common Stock represented at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy is
required to:
1. To approve an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to
increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $.001
from 75,000,000 shares to 350,000,000 shares of common stock par value
$.001 and 50,000,000 preferred shares par value $.001; and
2. To approve an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation by
changing the name of the Company from "Tree Top Industries, Inc." to|D7|
"Universal Energy Holdings, Inc."; and
3. To approve the August 18, 2006 Agreement and Master Plan of Asset Roll-up
and Forward Merger of Subsidiaries Together with Plan of Reorganization
with Universal Energy Resources, Inc. and Grifco International, Inc. and
its affiliated oil and gas sector businesses through our newly formed
merger subsidiary "Universal Energy & Services Group, Inc."; and
4. To approve the Company's application for listing on the American Stock
Exchange in|D8| 1Q07 or as soon thereafter as we may be qualified; and.
5. To consider and vote upon such other business as may properly come before
the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
EFFECT OF ABSTENTIONS OR BROKER NON-VOTES
Stockholders may vote for or against the proposals or they may abstain from
voting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of
determining the presence of a quorum at the Special Meeting, but will not be
counted as either in favor or against the proposals.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
No proposals have been received from any stockholder to be considered at the
Special Meeting.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR NEXT ANNUAL MEETING

must submit their proposals to our principal executive offices within a
reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials in
connection with our next annual meeting.
Any stockholders who wish to submit a proposal are encouraged to seek
independent counsel about SEC requirements. We will not consider any proposals
that do not meet the SEC requirements for submitting a proposal. Notices of
intention to present proposals for our next annual meeting should be delivered

PROPOSAL NUMBER ONE
AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF SHARES OF AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK AND TO CREATE A NEW CATEGORY OF
PREFERRED SHARES
On August 25, 2006, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Articles
of Incorporation of the Company to increase our authorized Common Stock from
75,000,000 shares to 350,000,000 shares of Common Stock par value $.001 and
50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock par value $.001. The increase to the number
of shares will require an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. Our Board
of Directors has directed that the increase to the shares of authorized Common
Stock and Preferred Stock and the corresponding amendment and restatement of our
Articles of Incorporation be submitted for approval by our stockholders.
Our Board of Directors has determined that it would be in the best interests of
the Company to amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock from 75,000,000 shares to 350,000,000 shares
of Common Stock par value $.001 and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock par
value $.001. Each additional share of Common Stock will have the same rights and
privileges as each share of currently authorized Common Stock. Our Board of
Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the Company to increase
the number of authorized shares in order to give us greater flexibility in
financing our business operations. The increase to the number of our authorized
shares of common stock is also necessary as we currently do not have a
sufficient number of authorized shares of our common stock available for our
financing requirements. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock will
have the effect of diluting earnings per share, voting power and shareholdings
of stockholders. It could also have the effect of making it more difficult for a
third party to acquire control of the Company.
The shares will be available for issuance by our Board of Directors for proper
corporate purposes, including but not limited to, stock dividends, stock splits,
acquisitions, financings and compensation plans. Current stockholders do not
have pre-emptive rights to subscribe for, purchase or reserve any shares of our
authorized capital stock. If the increase to our authorized shares of Common
Stock is approved by our stockholders, we will file amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation in the form attached as Schedule "A" hereto with the
Secretary of the State of Nevada as soon as practicable after stockholder
approval is obtained.
REQUIRED VOTE
The affirmative approval of the holders of record on the Record Date of a
majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present
at the Special Meeting, either in person or by proxy, is required to approve
Proposal Number One.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE INCREASE TO THE
AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND CREATION OF A NEW SERIES OF
PREFERRED SHARES TOGETHER WTH A CORRESPONDING AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION. A COPY OF THE PROPOSED FIRST RESTATED AND AMENDED ARTICLES IS
ATTACHED AS SCHEDULE "A" HERETO.
PROPOSAL NUMBER TWO
AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO
CHANGE NAME TO "UNIVERSAL ENERGY GROUP HOLDINGS, INC."
Effective on August 25, 2006, our Board of Directors executed a written
consent authorizing, and recommending that our stockholders approve a proposal
to change our name from "Tree Top Industries, Inc." to "Universal Energy Group,
Inc." or such other similar name as may be available. The First Restated and
Amended Articles of Incorporation is attached hereto as Schedule "A". Our Board
of Directors believes that the new name, Universal Energy Group , Inc., will
more accurately reflect our current business activities in light of our Plan of
Merger and Reorganization with Universal Energy Resources, Inc. and Grifco
International, Inc. and will promote public recognition and more accurately
reflect our operations and business focus.
Effectiveness of the Name Change
If approved by our stockholders, the change in our name will become effective
upon the filing of the First Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation with
the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. We intend to file First Restated
and Amended Articles of Incorporation as soon as practicable once stockholder
approval is obtained. Additionally, if the name change is approved at the
Meeting, we will promptly thereafter change our OTC Bulletin Board trading
symbol. Our new OTC Bulletin Board trading symbol will be determined at the time
the name change becomes effective.
Changing the name of the Company will not have any effect on the rights of
existing shareholders. The proposed name change will not affect the validity or
transferability of currently outstanding stock certificates, and shareholders
will be required to surrender for exchange any stock certificates they hold.
No Appraisal Rights
Under Nevada law, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with
respect to a change in our name.
Required Vote
The affirmative approval of the holders of record on the Record Date of a
majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present
at the Special Meeting, either in person or by proxy, is required to approve
Proposal No. 2.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR"
THE ADOPTION AND APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION TO GIVE EFFECT TO THE NAME CHANGE. A COPY OF THE PROPOSED AMENDED
AND RESTATED ARTICLES IS ATTACHED AS SCHEDULE "A" HERETO.
PROPOSAL NUMBER THREE
APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT AND MASTER PLAN OF ASSET ROLL-UP AND FORWARD MERGER OF
SUBSIDIARIES TOGETHER WITH PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
Effective on August 18, 2006, our Board of Directors executed a written consent
authorizing and recommending that our stockholders approve the Agreement and

PROPOSAL NUMBER FOUR
APPLICATION FOR AMEX LISTING
Effective on August 25, 2006, our Board of Directors executed a written consent
authorizing, and recommending that our stockholders approve a proposal to change
our listing from the over-the-counter bulletin board or OTC Bulletin Board to
listing on the American Stock Exchange, Inc. ("AMEX"). Our Board of Directors
believes that the new listing on the AMEX, if and when accepted, will more
accurately reflect our inherent share value and it will promote public
recognition and more accurately reflect our operations and business focus.
Effectiveness of the AMEX Listing Process
If approved by our stockholders, the change in listing from the OTC Bulletin
Board to the AMEX will require us to submit detailed and comprehensive listing
applications evidencing our ability to satisfy all listing criteria. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy the AMEX listing requirements.
AMEX Listing Standards
In order to become listed on AMEX, we will have to satisfy Listing Standard 1
which requires us to (a) have pre-tax income of at least $750,000 in the latest
fiscal year; (b) have a market value of public float of $3,000,000; (c) have a
minimum share price of $3.00 for a period of at least 30 days prior to listing;
(c) have a minimum market capitalization of at least $4,000,000; (d) have
shareholder equity of at least $4,000,000; and (e) have a public shareholder to
shares outstanding ratio of one of the following options: Option One: 800 public
shareholders/500,000 common shares in the public float; Option Two: 400 public
shareholders/1,000,000 common shares in the public float; or Option Three: 400
public shareholders/500,000 common shares in the public float (requires trading
volume of 2,000 shares per day for the 6 months prior to listing); and (f) have
satisfied such other requirements of the AMEX listing standards applicable at
the time of our application.
Note: Public shareholders and public float on AMEX do not include shareholders
or shares held directly or indirectly by any officer, director, controlling
shareholder or other concentrated (i.e. 10 percent or greater), affiliated or
family holdings.
AMEX Compliance
If and when approved for listing on AMEX, there will a number of new corporate
governance, reporting and other compliance rules which will govern the way the
Company conducts business which we have summarized as follows:
SEC and AMEX Filing Requirements
A company having a security listed on the AMEX must make all required filings on
a timely basis with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (or other
appropriate regulatory agency) and also file copies with the AMEX. With the
exception of annual reports to shareholders, which must be filed with the AMEX
in hard copy, a company will have satisfied this requirement if it
electronically submits its filings to the SEC through EDGAR.
Timely Notice of Corporate Actions
The AMEX also requires timely notice and written confirmation of various
corporate actions including record dates, dividends, proposed amendments to and
certified copies of the issuer's certificate of incorporation, bylaws or similar
organization documents and all material sent to shareholders or released to the
press.
Annual Report to Shareholders
A company listed on the AMEX is required to publish and furnish to its
shareholders (or to holders of any other listed security when its common stock
is not listed on a national securities exchange) an annual report containing
audited financial statements prepared in conformity with the requirements of the
SEC. The company must disclose in its annual report to security holders, for the
year covered by the report: (a) the number of unoptioned shares available at the
beginning and at the close of the year for the granting of options under an
option plan; and (b) any changes in the exercise price of outstanding options,
through cancellation and reissuance or otherwise, except price changes resulting
from the normal operation of antidilution provision of options. Three copies of
the report must be filed with the AMEX.
Annual reports must be sent to shareholders and filed with the Exchange at least
ten days in advance of the annual meeting of shareholders, and not later than
four months after the close of the last preceding fiscal year of the company.
Timely Public Information Disclosure
The AMEX considers that the conduct of a fair and orderly market requires every
listed company to make available to the public information necessary for
informed investing and to take reasonable steps to ensure that all who invest in
its securities enjoy equal access to such information. Listed companies must fax
press releases prior to issuance to the Exchange's Stock Watch Department.
The following is a summary of the AMEX's disclosure policies:
Immediate public disclosure of material information--A listed company is
required to make immediate public disclosure of all material information
concerning its affairs, except in unusual circumstances.
Thorough public dissemination--A listed company is required to release material
information to the public in a manner designed to obtain the widest possible
public dissemination.
Clarification or confirmation of rumors and reports--Whenever a listed company
becomes aware of a rumor or report, true of false, that contains information
that is likely to have, or has had, an effect on the trading in its securities,
or would be likely to have a bearing on investment decisions, the company is
required to publicly clarify the rumor or report as promptly as possible.
Response to unusual market action--Whenever unusual market action takes place in
a listed company's securities, the company is expected to make inquiry to
determine whether rumors or other conditions requiring corrective action exist
and, if so, to take whatever action is appropriate.
Unwarranted promotional disclosure--A listed company should refrain from
promotional disclosure activity which exceeds that necessary to enable the
public to make informed investment decisions.
Insider trading--Insiders should not trade on the basis of material information
which is not known to the investing public. Moreover, insiders should refrain
from trading, even after material information has been released to the press and
other media, for a period sufficient to permit thorough public dissemination and
evaluation of the information.
Receipt of written Delisting Notice--A company is required to publicly disclose
that it has received a written notice indicating that the Exchange has
determined to remove the company's securities from listing (or unlisted trading)
as a result of non-compliance with the continued listing requirements.
The following is a summary of the AMEX's requirements for public announcements.
Each press release or other public announcement should:
o be factual, clear, and succinct;
o contain sufficient quantitative information to allow investors to
evaluate its relative importance to the activities of the company;
o be balanced and fair;
o avoid over technical language, and should be expressed to the extent
possible in language comprehensible to the layman;
o explain, if the consequences or effects of the information on the
company's future prospects cannot be assessed, why this is so; and
clarify and point out any reasonable alternatives where the public
announcement undertakes to interpret information disclosed.
