S.A. de C.V. (Targa ).
The
financial statements have been consolidated with the parent company and all
inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally
Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP). The financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern.
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, the disclosure of contingent assets, and liabilities on the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues. and expenses
during the period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
The
Company reports revenue using the accrual method, in which revenues are recorded
as services are rendered or as products are delivered and billings are
generated, in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Standard 101 Revenue
Recognition. In accordance with aforementioned guidance, revenue is recognized
when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exits; (ii) price is fixed determinable; (iii) delivery has occurred or services
have been rended ; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured..
ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE
The
Company has reviewed the outstanding trade accounts receivable and provided a
reserve for slow paying accounts of approximately $639,464 at March 31, 2008 and
$638,363 at December 31, 2007. The Company has insured all its trade
receivables during the first half 2008. Additionally, the Company has developed
standard credit policies.
INVENTORIES
Inventories
are accounted for on the first-in, first-out basis. Any products reaching their
expiration dates are written off. The Company has determined it does not require
a provision for slow moving and or obsolete inventory for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007.
PROPERTY AND
EQUIPMENT
Property
and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is three to ten
years.
BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS
Acquisitions
require significant estimates and judgments related to the fair value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed to which the transaction costs are allocated
under the purchase method of accounting. Certain liabilities are subjective in
nature. We reflect such liabilities based upon the most recent information
available. The ultimate settlement of such liabilities may be for amounts that
are different from the amounts initially recorded. A significant amount of
judgment also is involved in determining the fair value of assets acquired.
Different assumptions could yield materially different results.
INTANGIBLE
ASSETS
The
Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with SFAS 144 " ACCOUNTING
FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. THE COMPANY acquired
long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2007
and March 31, 2007, respectively. The acquired long -lived assets are
attributed to acquisitions completed during 2007 and 2006. The Company reviewed
the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment as of
March 31, 2008 or whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable andor
annually. No impairment losses were recorded in the three
months ended March 31, 2008.
LOSS PER
SHARE
Basic
loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number
of shares of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the
component of basic loss per share and also gives effect to dilutive common stock
equivalents. Potential dilutive common stock equivalents include stock options,
warrants and preferred stock which convert into common stock.
TAXES ON
INCOME
The
Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 "Accounting
for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109) for recording the provision for income taxes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the differences
between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities
using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or
liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expense or
benefit is based on the change in the asset or liability each period. If
available evidence suggests that is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is
required to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than
not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in
the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Deferred
income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and
expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different
periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on
the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred
taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or
liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in
which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
ADVERTISING
The
Company expenses advertising as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately
$26,064 and $63,385 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively.
RECENT ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," which changes
the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an
entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related
interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

The
Company determined in accordance with SFAS No. 131 DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF
AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION that its subsidiaries meets the criteria
to be deemed one reporting unit. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142 "GOODWILL AND OTHER
INTANGIBLE ASSETS" the Company tested its goodwill and intangibles for
impairment and determined that estimated fair value exceed the carrying
value.
In
performing the fiscal 2007 annual test, the Company assumed an income tax rate
of 30% and a discount rate of 17%.
Determining
the fair value of a reporting unit under the first step of the goodwill
impairment test and determining the fair value of individual assets and
liabilities of a reporting unit under the second step of the goodwill impairment
test is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates
and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact
on whether or not an impairment charge is recognized and also the extent of such
charge. The Company's estimates of fair value utilized in goodwill and
intangible asset tests may be based upon a number of factors, including
assumptions about the projected future cash flows, discount rate, growth rate,
determination of market comparables, technological change, economic conditions,
or changes to the Company's business operations. Such changes may result in
impairment charges recorded in future periods.
The
Company evaluated the remaining useful lives of its finite-lived purchased
intangible assets to determine if any adjustments to the useful lives were
necessary or if any of these assets had indefinite lives and were therefore not
subject to amortization. The Company determined that no adjustments to the
useful lives of its finite-lived purchased intangible assets were
necessary.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The
Company has unsecured loans from stockholders totaling $1,009,335 at March 31,
2008. The loans have various due dates and contain interest rates ranging from
10% to 18%. All loans are due on demand.
On May 3,
2006, we acquired the exclusive rights from Piancone Group International, Inc.
to market Miller Beer in Baja California, Mexico, in exchange for 17,500,000
shares of our common stock. At that time, neither Sandro Piancone nor Piancone
Group was an affiliate. Concurrent with the acquisition of these rights, Sandro
Piancone became our Chief Executive Officer and a director. In June 2006, we
acquired substantially all of the assets of Piancone Group in exchange for the
issuance of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock. Sandro Piancone, our Chief
Executive Officer and a director, was the Chief Executive Officer, a director
and the controlling stockholder of Piancone Group International, Inc. at the
time its assets were acquired by us. We believe our purchase of Piancone Group's
assets was fair and reasonable.

Per the
terms of the share purchase agreement completed on June 28, 2007, Nascent Wine
Company, Inc. was required to file with the SEC a share registration statement
within 60 days of the share sale transaction. Furthermore, a failure by the
registrant to perform would result in a 1% of the total shares sold per week
penalty in shares, up to a 10% maximum penalty, payable to the investors
(discussed elsewhere herein). The company filed the SB-2 to register the shares
on November 14, 2007.
CONCENTRATION
OF SALES TO SINGLE CUSTOMER
For the
period from acquisition to year ended December 31, 2007, over 66% of Grupo Sur
Promociones' revenue or 23% of our company-wide revenue, was
generated by Procter & Gamble. The loss of Procter & Gamble would
significantly reduce our revenue and our potential profitability.
LEGAL
PROCEEDING
From time
to time we are involved with legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in
the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this FORM
10-QSB we are not a party to any pending material legal
proceedings

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the other financial
information included the Company’s the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
Ended December 31, 2007. This discussion contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of any
number of factors
OVERVIEW
We market
and distribute more than 2,000 food and food-related products to over 2,300
customers throughout Mexico. Our customers include grocery stores, convenience
stores, hotels, resorts, cafeterias, schools, industrial caterers and
restaurants. We distribute a full line of frozen foods, such as meats, fully
prepared entrees and desserts, and a full line of canned and dry goods, fresh
meats and imported specialties. We also distribute a wide variety of
food-related items such as disposable napkins, plates and cups, and have the
exclusive right to distribute Miller beer in Baja California. In addition to
sales and distribution of food products, we merchandise and promote food and
beverage products using point of purchase displays and related store
merchandising techniques in over 240,000 retail food stores primarily in Mexico
through our Grupo Sur Promociones operating unit.
We were
incorporated in Nevada in December 2002 as a wine distribution company. In April
2006, we acquired the right to distribute Miller beer in Baja California. In
October 2006 we acquired the assets of Piancone Food Group, Inc. and in November
2006 we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Palermo Foods, LLC. Both
of these companies distribute food products primarily in Mexico.
We are
primarily a specialized importer. However, we believe that, over the next
decade, Mexico will begin to see U.S.-style; "multi-supplier" companies enter
this market. Our goal is to become a leader in this market. Due to the unique
challenges in Mexico described above, major U.S. distributors such as Sysco,
Inc. and U.S. Foodservice, Inc. may not choose to enter this market directly.
The primary competitive advantages of these companies are the economies of scale
and large-scale logistical systems they have established. We believe those
systems may be difficult to implement in Mexico at this time. Therefore, we
believe that the larger distribution companies in Mexico may be companies using
a distribution and sales system organically grown and operated in Mexico, such
as ours.
RECENT
ACQUISITIONS
In May
2007, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of two food distributors, Pasani
S.A. de C.V. and Eco-Pak Distributing. In July 2007, we acquired Grupo Sur
Promociones, a primarily Mexican merchandising and promotion company. In October
2007, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Comercial Targa, S.A.,
De C.V., a Mexican food distributor specializing in cheeses and other dairy
products. References to our operations include the operations of all of these
acquired companies.

(1) All
costs incurred to bring product to our warehouses and distributions centers are
included in cost of revenue. These items include shipping and handling costs,
agent and broker fees, letter of credit fees, customs duty, inspection costs,
inbound freight and internal transfer costs. Costs associated with our own
distribution and warehousing are recorded in operating expenses. Our gross
margins may not be comparable to others in the industry as some entities may
record and classify these costs differently.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 2007
Revenue
for the Quarter ended March 31, 2008 of $16,000,000 increased $10,866,000 from
the Quarter ended March, 31, 2007. The increase reflects the three
months revenue of Best Beer, Palermo, and our 2007 acquisitions (i) Pasani (May
2007), (ii) Grupo Sur (July 2007) and (iii) Targa (October 2007) compared to the
2007 revenue which reflected only Best Beer and Palamero. Pro forma
revenue for the Quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $16,044,000 which is in line
with 2008 revenue.
Gross
Profit of approximately $2,833,000 or 18% of revenue for the Quarter ended March
31, 2008, increased approximately $1,859,000 from approximately $974,000 from
the same period in, 2007.
The
increase reflects the three months gross profit of Best
Beer , Palermo, and our 2007 acquisitions (i) Pasani (May 2007), (ii) Grupo Sur
(July 2007) and (iii) Targa (October 2007) compared to the 2007 gross profit
which reflected of Best Beer and Palamero. Pro forma gross profit for the
Quarter ended 2007 was $2,635,000 of 16% of Pro forma revenue. The
increase of approximately $197,000 from the pro
forma quarter ended 2007 reflects Best Beer increase of $500,000
offset in part by lower margins from the other
operating companies.
Operating
Expenses:
Distribution
expense of $773,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $436,000
or 2.7% from $337,000 for the same period in 2007.
Sales and
Marketing expense of $536,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008
increased $371,000 or 2.3% from $165,000 for the same period in
2007.
General
and Administrative expense of 1,719,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2008 increased $919,000 or 5.7% from $800,000 for the same period
last year.
The
operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 includes Best Beer
, Palermo, and our 2007 acquisitions (i) Pasani (May 2007), (ii) Grupo Sur (July
2007) and (iii) Targa (October 2007) compared to the 2007 gross profit which
reflected only Best Beer and Palamero.
The
increase in operating expenses also reflect the opening of 17 distributions
centers, leasing 48 new trucks and distribution equipment, increase in
professional fees, communications costs, insurance costs and upgrading financial
organization.
Amortization
and depreciation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of
approximately $578,000 includes $456,129 of non-cash amortization and increase
of $239,254 from the same period in 2007. The increase is for the most part
results from the acquisitions of Pasani, Grupo Sur and Targa.
Interest
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was approximately $128,000 an
increase of approximately $14,000 from the same period last in 2007. Interest
expense included acquisition loans, shareholder and bank loans.
Other
income of $183,000 for three month ended March 31, 2008 included $125,000 of
exchange gain.
Warrant
expense recapture of approximately $442,000 for year ended December 31, 2007
resulted, for the most part, from the issuance of warrants in support of raising
funds and finders' fees.
Net loss
of $9,406,000 or $0.14 loss per common and fully diluted shares for the year
ended December 31, 2007 can be attributed to 2007 being a transition year. We
incurred costs including those associated with financing acquisitions and
professional fees and non- cash amortization, related to these acquisitions
which more than offset our $6,800,000 gross profit.
EBITDA
for the three month ended March 31, 2008 was a deficit of
$195,000. Pro forma EBITDA for the same perod in 2007 was
$11,000.

we have included unaudited prior year net sales of Pasani, S.A. de CV, Grupo
Promociones De Mexico S.A. DE C.V. and Targa, S.A. de CV. This information is

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will
continue as a going concern. The Company has had net losses for the years ended
December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
We
commenced operations in 2006 and acquired the Miller Beer license and started-up
our Best Beer company, acquired Palermo and raised substantial equity financing.
Additionally, we completed three acquisitions in 2007. The costs associated with
these acquisitions and the associated cost of funding the acquisitions was a
major contributor to the generation of these losses. We are installing certain
control metrics to assist management in maximizing operating
income.
The Company is currently in discussion with
several lending institutions for a working capital credit facility and
additional
financing. These credit facilities in conjunction with internally
generated funds should be
sufficient
to fund our operations for the next twelve months; however, there can be no
assurance funding
will be
available at terms and conditions acceptable to us.

Working
Capital deficit of $242,000 as of March 31, 2008 reflects an improvement
of $262,000 from December 31, 2007. Current assets
increased $ 2,282,000 resulting principally for 1.900,000 increase
$2,200,000 offset in part by reductions in Targa’s inventory to
support. The increased supports higher Best Beer Sales. Current
liabilities increased $2,020,000 resulting from increased inventory, notes
payable and shareholders loans.
On April
1, 2008 we entered into a $1,000,000 senior bridge loan agreement with Genesis
Merchants Partners, LP. The terms are: (i)interest of 14% per annum, payable
monthly; (ii) the loan is due and payable within 180 days, at that time 107% of
principal will become due and payable; The bridge loan may be extended to 360
days from closing at the Company's option, at that time 115% of principal will
be due and payable.
A closing
fee of 3% of principal will at time of closing. If the loan is extended an
additional 2% closing fee will be due. The loan is secured by the assets of the
Company. The senior bridge loan is required to be repaid from the proceeds of a
working capital credit agreement the Company may enter into.
The Three
month ended March 31, 2007 reflect Nascent, Best Beer and Palermo operations.
See Note -Acquisitions included elsewhere herein.
On May
12, 2008, the Company was granted an extension until May 26, 2008 to pay in full
a promissory note (the "Pasani Note") payable to Alejandro Gutierrez
Pederzini and Leticia Gutierrez Pederzini in the principal amount of $1,000,000
plus interest, that was originally due on May 12, 2008. The
Company originally issued the Note to these individuals in
connection with the Company's acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock
of Pasani S.A. De C.V. ("Pasani") from them. The Pasani Note is
secured by a pledge granted to these individuals of all of the
common stock of Pasani
On May
12, 2007, Alejandro Gutierrez Pederzini, also, granted the Company an extension
until May 26, 2008 to purchase from him certain trade marks that were sold under
the Stock Purchase Agreement with Pasani. The purchase price for the trade
marks was $2,500,000.
On May
14, 2008, Mr. James E. Buckman and Mr. Yehuda “Mitch” Wolf resigned from the
board of directors of the Company effective immediately. Messrs.
Buckman and Wolf informed us that they were resigning in order to avoid the
possibility of any conflict of interest due to the fact that the we recently
commenced discussions with York Capital Management (“York”) regarding a possible
transaction between the parties. Messrs. Buckman and Wolf are
employed by York and were appointed to the Nascent’s board of directors in
connection with York’s investment in the Company,
We are
indebted to the former owners ("Sellers") of
Grupo Sur Promociones de Mexico. S.A.
de CV.
("Grupo Sur") in the amount of $700,000 representing the
balance due upon the closing of our stock purchase agreement with the
Sellers pursuant to which we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Grupo Sur. We are also obligated to make two additional payments
under the purchase agreement, comprised of a payment of $1,500,000 due on
June 30,2008, and a second payment of $2,000,000 due on December 31,
2008.
Additionally
the purchase agreement called for a payment to the Sellers of $1,500,000 in our
restricted stock, if Grupo Sur met certain financial performance objectives for
the twelve months ended December 31,2007 as verified by our auditors. To date
these objectives have not been verified by our auditors and no stock has been
issued to the Sellers.
Subsequently,
the Sellers have refused to allow us to operate Grupo Sur or communicate
with Grupo Sur's auditors.
We are in
discussions with third party lenders and investors to finance the payment of the
Pasani and Grupo Sur obligations. However, there can be no assurance that any
equity or debt financing will be available to us to satisfy either
obligation.
INFLATION
We
believe that the relatively moderate rates of inflation in recent years have not
had a significant impact on our revenue. However, from time to time inflation
has an impact on commodity related products.

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements about Nascen Wine Company,
Inc.'s business, financial condition and prospects that reflect management's
assumptions and beliefs based on information currently available. We can give no
assurance that the expectations indicated by such forward-looking statements
will be realized. If any of our management's assumptions should prove incorrect,
or if any of the risks and uncertainties underlying such expectations should
materialize, Nascent's actual results may differ materially from those indicated
by the forward-looking statements.
The key
factors that are not within our control and that may have a direct bearing on
operating results include, but are not limited to, acceptance of our services,
our ability to expand our customer base, managements' ability to raise capital
in the future, the retention of key employees and changes in the regulation of
our industry.
There may
be other risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict. When
used in this Quarterly Report, words such as, "BELIEVES," "EXPECTS," "INTENDS,"
"PLANS," "ANTICIPATES," "ESTIMATES" and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements, although there may be certain
forward-looking statements not accompanied by such expressions.
The
information contained in this section has been derived from our consolidated
financial statements and should be read together with our consolidated financial
statements and related notes included elsewhere in this annual report. The
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or
implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors,
including those set forth at the end of this section under "Factors That May
Impact Our Results of Operations"
RECENT ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," which changes
the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an
entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related
interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.
The Company
is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on its
financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Management's
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to
make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates, including those related to bad
debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies and
litigation, on an ongoing basis. We base these estimates on historical
experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable
under the circumstances. These assumptions form our basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions.
We
believe the following critical accounting policies and the related estimates and
assumptions discussed below are among those most important to an understanding
of our consolidated financial statements.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
The
Company reports revenue using the accrual method, in which revenues are recorded
as services are rendered or as products are delivered and billings are
generated, in accordance SEC Staff Accounting Standard 101 Revenue Recognition.
In accordance with aforementioned guidance revenue is recognized when the
following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of the customer arrangement
exits; (ii) price is fixed and determinable; (iii) acceptance has occurred; and
(iv) collectiverity is deemed probale.
ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE
The
Company has reviewed the outstanding trade accounts receivable and provided a
reserve for slow paying accounts of approximately $639,464 and $639,464 at
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The Company plans to insure
all its trade receivables during the first half 2008. Additionally, the Company
has developed standard credit policies.
INVENTORIES
Inventories
are accounted for on the first-in, first-out basis. Any products reaching their
expiration dates are written off. The Company has determined it does not require
a provision for slow moving and or obsolete inventory for nine months ended
March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007.
PROPERTY AND
EQUIPMENT
Property
and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is three to ten
years.
BUSINESS
COMBINATION
Acquisitions
require significant estimates and judgments related to the fair value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed to which the transaction costs are allocated
under the purchase method of accounting. Certain liabilities are subjective in
nature. We reflect such liabilities based upon the most recent information
available. The ultimate settlement of such liabilities may be for amounts that
are different from the amounts initially recorded. A significant amount of
judgment also is involved in determining the fair value of assets acquired.
Different assumptions could yield materially different results.
INTANGIBLE
The
Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with Statement Financial
Accounting Standard 144 "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED
ASSETS (SFAS 144). The Company acquired long-lived assets during the year ended
December 31,2007 and year ended December 31, 2006, respectively. The acquired
long -lived assets are attributed to acquisitions completed during 2007 and
2006. The company reviewed the carrying values of its long-lived assets for
possible impairment as of December 31, 2007 or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be
recoverable andor annually. No impairment losses were recorded in the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and year ended December 31, 2007.
LOSS PER
SHARE
Basic
loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number
of shares of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the
component of basic loss per share and also gives effect to dilutive common stock
equivalents. Potential dilutive common stock equivalents include stock options,
warrants and preferred stock which convert into common stock.
TAXES ON
INCOME
The
Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 "Accounting
for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109) for recording the provision for income taxes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the differences
between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities
using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or
liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expense or
benefit is based on the change in the asset or liability each period. If
available evidence suggests that is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is
required to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than
not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in
the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Deferred
income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and
expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different
periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on
the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred
taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or
liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in
which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

respectively.
Item 4. Controls
and Procedures
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures
As of
December 2007, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act.”) pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the
Exchange Act. These controls and procedures are designed to provide assurance
that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that is intended to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As a
result of this evaluation and recognizing the material weaknesses that we
identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2007. In making this determination, we took into
account the remedial actions that we are taking or planning to take with respect
to these material weaknesses .
In any
case, based on a number of factors, including our performance of manual
procedures to provide assurance of the proper collection, evaluation and
disclosure of the information included in our consolidated financial statements,
management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material
respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
periods presented in conformity with GAAP and that they are free of material
errors.
Internal
control over financial reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our principal
executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2007 based on the criteria established in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
As a
result of the material weaknesses described in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, we did not
maintain effective internal control over financial reporting based on the
criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by
COSO.
Since we
originally identified those material weaknesses in connection with the
preparation of our financial statements for the period
ended December 31, 2007, we have been working to identify and
remedy the causes of the problems that led to the existence of those material
weaknesses, and we believe that:
|
·
|
we
identified the primary causes of and appropriate remedial actions for
these problems;
|
|
·
|
we
have, except as otherwise noted below and subject to the completion of
testing that we are conducting and plan to complete as of
December 31, 2008, remedied substantially all of these material
weaknesses; and
|
|
·
|
we
are continuing to implement additional appropriate corrective measures to
enable us to determine that those material weaknesses have been fully
remedied.
|
With
respect to testing, we have adopted, and pursued during the fourth quarter of
2007, a program that is designed to evaluate whether the remedial actions we
have taken have been in effect for a sufficient period of time to determine
their effectiveness as well as to test the effectiveness of those remedial
actions. Notwithstanding our efforts, there is a risk that we ultimately may be
unable to achieve the goal of fully remedying these material weaknesses and that
the corrective actions that we have implemented and are continuing to implement
may not fully remedy the material weaknesses that we have identified or prevent
similar or other control deficiencies or material weaknesses from having an
adverse impact on our business and results of operations or our ability to
timely make required SEC filings in the future.
The
remedial actions that we have taken to remedy these material weaknesses may be
regarded as material changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that have occurred since December 31, 2007. Due, among other things, to the
difficulties that we experienced in preparing timely financial statements..
Those changes include the following:
1. For
all periods ended on or after December 31, 2007, we adopted procedures to
conduct additional detailed transaction reviews and control activities to
confirm that our financial statements for each period present fairly, in all
material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
2. These
reviews and control activities include performing physical inventories and
detailed account reconciliations of all material line-item accounts reflected on
our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations in
order to confirm the accuracy of, and to correct any material inaccuracies in,
those accounts as part of the preparation of our financial
statements.
3. For
periods ended on or after December 31, 2007, with respect to our failure to
maintain a timely and accurate period-end financial statement closing process
and our failure to effectively monitor our accounting function and our oversight
of financial controls, we introduced new leadership to our accounting and
financial functions and in certain operating functions. This included appointing
a new Chief Financial Officer effective appointing a new controller
and appointing new subsidiary
controllers.
4. For
periods ended on or after December 31, 2007, we reaffirmed and clarified our
account reconciliation policies through additional procedural details and
guidelines for completion, which expressly require (a) reconciliations of
all material accounts no less frequently than monthly, (b) that any
discrepancies noted be resolved in a timely fashion and (c) that all
proposed reconciliations be reviewed in detail and on a timely basis by
appropriate personnel to determine the accuracy and appropriateness of the
proposed reconciliation.
