PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Magic Communications, Inc. (Magic) was originally formed as a New York corporation on
January 16, 1997 and reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in November 2002 for the purpose of
offering Internet kiosks where the public could access the Internet for a fee. Magic did not
develop that business, and, from June 1997 until April 2007 Magic engaged in the business of
contracting with various locations such as malls, gas stations, stores and office buildings to
install pay phones that were an alternative to those provided by the primary local service provider
(Verizon). As discussed below, immediately following the completion of the Merger (as defined
below), Magic sold substantially all of its assets relating to this business to Illusions, LLC, a
Florida limited liability company controlled by Stephen Rogers, Magics President and Chief
Executive Officer immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger and a director prior to the
Merger. Illusions also assumed most of Magics liabilities in connection with the sale of those
assets. Magic is no longer engaged in the business of installing or operating pay telephones. Magic
Communications, Inc., subsequent to the Merger, changed its name to American Post Tension, Inc.
(APTI) on September 24, 2007.
Post Tension of Nevada (PTNV) was established in 1987 in the Las Vegas Area. PTNV is one of
the largest slab-on-grade contractors serving the western United States. PTNV is a full service
post tension contractor. Each year PTNV installs millions of square feet of post tension
foundations from four full-service offices: Las Vegas, NV (corporate headquarters), Phoenix AZ,
Tucson AZ and Denver CO. We offer a full turn-key service to our customers, a concept new to the
post tension industry.
Today, a post-tension slab costs no more than rebar; in some instances, even less. Post
tensioning retards unwanted expansion movement and settling that can damage interior and exterior
walls. Post tension designs disburse the load throughout the slab, not only on perimeter or
load-bearing walls. Post tensioning is an excellent solution for expansive soils. A post tension
slab can be used anywhere a rebar slab is used. Its the effective, economical solution wherever
there is a need to control cracking, deflection and shifting. For more than 30 years, post tension
has demonstrated excellent performance, especially in poor soil, which is common in most regions of
the country. A post tension slab starts with high-strength steel strand cable installed in a grid
pattern according to plans. Once the concrete has cured, the cables are tensioned or stressed,
which pulls the slab into a state of constant compression. The result is a reinforced concrete
floating slab that controls cracking, shifting and deflection more effectively and economically
than any other process. PTNV purchases raw cable, anchors, rebar, wedges, stressing equipment and
parts, splice chucks, end protectors, dead-end spacers, pocket forms from a small number of high
quality suppliers. The companys relationship with its suppliers is excellent.
1
Merger Agreement with Post Tension of Nevada
On December 28, 2006, Magic entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with PTNV, which became
firm, and was announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2007.
On April 12, 2007, a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC reported the completion of the
definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with PTNV and PTNV Acquisition
Corp., a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magic (Acquisition Corp.). The
Merger Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement, Acquisition Corp. would merge with and into PTNV (the Merger). As a result of
the Merger, PTNV became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magic. Each outstanding share of PTNV common
stock was converted into the right to receive 10,160.064 shares of Magics common stock as set
forth in the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement at closing, Magic issued,
and the PTNV stockholders received, in a tax-free exchange, shares of Company common stock such
that PTNV stockholders now own approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Company. Magic Communications, Inc., subsequent to the Merger, changed its name to American Post
Tension, Inc. (APTI) on September 24, 2007.
As a result of the Merger, as the acquired entitys shareholders exercise control over APTI,
the transaction is deemed to be a capital transaction whereby APTI is treated as a non-business
entity. Therefore, the accounting for the business combination is identical to that resulting from
a reverse merger, except no goodwill or other intangible assets will be recorded as a result of the
Merger. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize goodwill or any other intangible assets in
connection with the transaction. PTNV is treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes.
Therefore, the historic financial statements prior to merger are those of PTNV and post merger, the
financial statements represent the consolidated financial position and operating results of
American Post Tension, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Post Tension of Nevada. All references
to shares and per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been restated to
reflect the aforementioned share exchange.
Markets and Marketing
We are a well known and respected company with high saturation throughout the western United
States. Within the residential housing markets of Las Vegas, Nevada and Phoenix, Arizona, we have a
70% market share and an 80% market share in Denver, Colorado and Tucson, Arizona. In 1994, we
became the first company to provide post tension services in Arizona. We currently operate in
several high growth markets with new construction. Residential construction accounts for the
majority of our slab-on-ground revenues, while commercial construction is much smaller at this
time. We intend to expand our workforce in 2008 by hiring additional salespeople and draft
engineers. Starting in Las Vegas, we will attempt to generate sales in the high rise market, which
is expected to see $10 billion of new construction on the Las Vegas Strip in the next five years.
We can provide no assurance, however, that we will be successful in obtaining a significant, or
any, market share in the commercial construction market.
In addition to the slab-on-grade (SOG) post-tensioning products and services described
above, we also provide materials to our customers on a freight-on-board (FOB) basisthe buyer
assumes the responsibility for the shipment and shipping charges of the materials purchased from
us. Today, we offer this service to clients in Utah and California. Our plans are to attempt to
expand the reach of our FOB business, although we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able
to increase this segment of our business in accordance with our plans, if at all. It is our
intention to expand our presence in this market segment by expanding our workforce and marketing to
this potential customer base as well as acquiring other companies with an existing presence in this
market. At this time, we have no definitive plans to acquire any other businesses, and we cannot
provide assurances that we will be able to acquire businesses in this area on terms that are
favorable to us.
We have a reputation for providing superior services to our clients. Some clients have been
depending on us for 20 years, though there are no long term contracts with them. However, we are
currently negotiating with one of the largest home builders in the United States to make us the
exclusive provider of post tension services to all concrete contractors used by the builder, in the
states of Nevada, Arizona and Colorado. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to
successfully negotiate this arrangement or that, if we are able to negotiate such an arrangement,
the arrangement will be on terms that we prefer. The Company has 115 active customers. Most of
2
them are contractors, concrete suppliers and other subcontractors to the construction
industry. The top 10 customers accounted for $8,751,213 in our revenues for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2007.
Competition
Our competition in supplying full-service post tension technology and FOB service to the
target markets consists primarily of other post tension companies located in the United States,
some of which are owned by European companies. We believe that we are the largest domestic owned
post tension company in the United States. Other smaller domestic companies have no distinct
advantage, other than geographic location, over PTNV. The two largest international companies of
which we are aware have more completed high rise projects, but we do not believe that will
significantly diminish our ability to provide full service to similar projects in the future.
Of the 25 companies that belong to the Post Tensioning Institute, PTNV is the third largest.
Our two main competitors are Suncoast Post Tension, a Keller Company, and DSI (Dywidag-Systems
International) both owned by European companies. Regionally, there are a handful of firms that
provide similar services. Throughout the entire United States there are approximately 40 companies
like us. It is well known throughout the industry that both Suncoast and DSI are able to handle
larger high rise projects but struggle in the SOG market because we offer labor as part of the
total service and the others offer only materials. When they compete in our markets they have to
add the labor to be competitive from a service perspective.
Organization/Employees
All subsidiaries and operating units operate independently with respect to daily operations.
Operating decisions must be approved by the business unit and/or corporate senior management. At
December 31, 2007, we employed approximately 79 people with 8 at Corporate, and Operations
consisting of 17 in Las Vegas, 32 in Phoenix, Arizona, 16 in Tucson, Arizona, 5 in Denver, Colorado
and 1 in Commercial. Our operational employees, excluding management, in Las Vegas are attempting
to be represented by the Laborers International Union of North America Local 702. Management and
administrative personnel are paid performance bonuses. Performance bonuses are based on individual
performance. We consider our employee and contractor relations to be satisfactory. The number of
employees we have at each location is dependent upon the sales volume. Because our business in
cyclical and seasonal in nature, we have and will continue to experience swings in the number of
employees we have. The table below presents our sales levels and the number of employees by quarter
to give the reader a better understanding of our employment swings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the risks previously mentioned, the following important factors could adversely
impact our business. These factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking and other statements that we make in registration statements, periodic reports and
other filings with the SEC, and that we make from time to time in our news releases, annual reports
and other written communications, as well as oral forward-looking and other statements made from
time to time by our representatives.
Risks Relating to Our Business
Our business is cyclical and is significantly affected by changes in general and local economic
conditions.
Our business can be substantially affected by adverse changes in general economic or business
conditions that are outside of our control, including changes in:
|
|
|
Short- and long-term interest rates; |
|
|
|
|
the availability of financing for homebuyers; |
|
|
|
|
consumer confidence generally and the confidence of potential homebuyers in particular; |
|
|
|
|
federal mortgage financing programs and federal and state regulation of lending practices; |
|
|
|
|
federal and state income tax provisions, including provisions for the deduction of
mortgage interest payments; |
|
|
|
|
housing demand; |
|
|
|
|
the supply of available new or existing homes and other housing alternatives, such as
apartments and other rental residential property; |
|
|
|
|
employment levels and job and personal income growth; |
|
|
|
|
real estate taxes. |
Adverse changes in these conditions may affect our business nationally or may be more
prevalent or concentrated in particular regional or local areas in which we operate.
Weather conditions and natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods,
droughts, fires and other environmental conditions, can also harm our homebuilding business on a
local or regional basis. Civil unrest or acts of terrorism can also have an adverse effect on our
business.
Fluctuating component prices and shortages, as well as shortages or price fluctuations in
other building materials or commodities, can have an adverse effect on our business.
The potential difficulties described above can cause demand for customers homes to diminish
or cause customers to take longer and incur more costs to build homes.
The homebuilding industry is experiencing a severe downturn that may continue for an indefinite
period and adversely affect our business and results of operations compared to prior periods.
In 2007, the U.S. homebuilding industry as a whole experienced a significant and sustained
decrease in demand for new homes and an oversupply of new and existing homes available for sale. In
many markets, a rapid increase in new and existing home prices over the past several years reduced
housing affordability and tempered buyer demand. In particular, investors and speculators reduced
their purchasing activity and instead stepped up their efforts to sell the residential property
they had earlier acquired. These trends, which were more pronounced in markets that had experienced
the greatest levels of price appreciation, resulted in overall fewer home sales, greater
cancellations of home purchase agreements by buyers, higher inventories of unsold homes and the
increased use by
4
homebuilders, speculators, investors and others of discounts, incentives and price concessions
to close home sales compared to the past several years.
Although the federal government has designed and proposed numerous initiatives to move the
homebuilding market towards stabilization, we are uncertain as to how effective such initiatives
will be on the overall market conditions. The tightening of lending standards could lead to a
further deterioration in the overall homebuilding market due to stricter credit standards, higher
down payment requirements and additional credit verification requirements. This deterioration could
have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, to the
extent that homeowners have used sub-prime or Alt A mortgages to finance the purchase of their
homes and are later unable to refinance or maintain those loans, additional foreclosures and an
oversupply of inventory may result in the market. This may also contribute to additional
deterioration in the market and have an adverse impact on housing demand and our results of
operations and financial condition.
Reflecting these demand and supply trends, we, like many other companies with significant
operations related to the residential home building market, experienced a large drop in net new
orders, slower price appreciation and a reduction in our margins. We can provide no assurances that
the homebuilding market will improve in the near future, and it may weaken further. Continued
weakness in the homebuilding market would have an adverse effect on our business and our results of
operations as compared to those of earlier periods.
If new home prices decline, interest rates increase or there is a downturn in the economy, some
homebuyers may cancel their home purchases because the required deposits are small and generally
refundable, resulting in a negative impact on our customers.
Home purchase contracts typically require only a small deposit, and in many states, the
deposit is fully refundable at any time prior to closing. If the prices for new homes decline,
interest rates increase or there is a downturn in local, regional or the national economy, home
builders may increase sales incentives so homebuyers have financial incentive to terminate their
existing home purchase contracts with our customers in order to negotiate for a lower price
elsewhere or to explore other options. In 2007, many large homebuilders experienced a large
increase in the number of cancellations, in part because of these reasons. Additional cancellations
could have an adverse effect our customers and thus on our business and our results of operations.
Home prices and sales activity in the particular markets and regions in which we do business affect
our results of operations because our business is concentrated in these markets.
Home prices and sales activity in some of our key markets have declined from time to time for
market-specific reasons, including adverse weather, lack of affordability or economic contraction
due to, among other things, the failure or decline of key industries and employers. If home prices
or sales activity decline in one or more of the key markets in which we operate, particularly in
Arizona or Nevada, our costs may not decline at all or at the same rate and, as a result, our
overall results of operations may be adversely affected.
Interest rate increases or changes in federal lending programs could lower demand for our products.
We are highly dependent on the residential home construction market in Las Vegas, Nevada,
Phoenix, Arizona and Tucson, Arizona. In recent years, historically low interest rates and the
increased availability of specialized mortgage products, including mortgage products requiring no
or low down payments, and interest-only and adjustable rate mortgages, have made home buying more
affordable for a number of customers. Increases in interest rates or decreases in the availability
of mortgage financing or of certain mortgage programs may lead to higher down payment requirements
or monthly mortgage costs, or both, and could therefore reduce demand for residential housing.
Increased interest rates can also hinder our customers ability to realize their backlog
because purchase contracts may provide a financing contingency. Financing contingencies allow
customers to cancel their home purchase contracts in the event they cannot arrange for financing at
the interest rates prevailing when they signed their contracts.
5
Because the availability of Fannie Mae, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, FHA and VA
mortgage financing is an important factor in marketing and selling many residential homes, any
limitations or restrictions in the availability of such government-backed financing could reduce
new residential home sales.
Our customers are subject to substantial legal and regulatory requirements regarding the
development of land, the homebuilding process and protection of the environment, which can cause
our customers to suffer delays and incur costs associated with compliance and which can prohibit or
restrict homebuilding activity in some regions or areas.
The residential homebuilding business is heavily regulated and subject to an increasing degree
of local, state and federal regulations concerning zoning, resource protection and other
environmental impacts, building design, construction and similar matters. These regulations often
provide broad discretion to governmental authorities that regulate these matters, which can result
in unanticipated delays or increases in the cost of a specified project or a number of projects in
particular markets. Our customers may also experience periodic delays in homebuilding projects due
to building moratoria in any of the areas in which we operate.
Our customers are also subject to a variety of local, state and federal statutes, ordinances,
rules and regulations concerning the environment. These laws and regulations may cause delays in
construction and delivery of new homes, and can prohibit or severely restrict homebuilding activity
in certain environmentally sensitive regions or areas. In addition, environmental laws may impose
liability for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances whether or not
the developer or owner of the property knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of those
substances. The presence of those substances on our customers properties may prevent our customers
from selling homes.
We provide services in highly competitive markets, which could hurt our future operating results.
We compete in each of our markets with a number of companies for customers, materials, skilled
management and labor resources. Our competitors include other large national companies that provide
the same or similar services and products, as well as smaller regional competitors, based on
long-standing relationships with local labor, materials suppliers and home builders, and these
competitors can have an advantage in their respective regions or local markets. The current
national debate related to immigration reform could impact the related laws and regulations in the
markets in which we operate, and result in shortages of skilled labor and higher labor and
compliance costs, potentially affecting our ability to complete. We generally are unable to pass on
increases in costs to customers. Sustained increases in our material and labor costs may, over
time, erode our margins, and pricing competition for materials and labor may restrict our ability
to pass on any additional costs, thereby decreasing our margins.
These competitive conditions can:
|
|
|
make it difficult for us to acquire new customers and enter into new markets; |
|
|
|
|
reduce our sales or profit margins; and |
|
|
|
|
cause us to offer or increase our sales incentives, discounts or price concessions. |
Any of these competitive conditions can adversely affect our revenues, increase our costs
and/or impede the growth of our local or regional business.
Because of the seasonal nature of our business, our quarterly operating results fluctuate.
We have experienced seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results. Our customers
typically do not commence significant construction on a home before a home purchase contract has
been signed with a homebuyer. Historically, a significant percentage of home purchase contracts are
entered into in the spring and summer months, and a corresponding significant percentage of our
deliveries occur in the spring, summer and fall months. Construction of residential homes typically
requires approximately four months and weather delays that often occur
6
in late winter and early spring may extend this period. As a result of these combined factors,
we historically have experienced uneven quarterly results, with lower revenues and operating income
generally during the first and fourth quarters of the year.
Our leverage may place burdens on our ability to comply with the terms of our indebtedness, may
restrict our ability to operate and may prevent us from fulfilling our obligations.
The amount of our debt could have important consequences. For example, it could:
|
|
|
limit our ability to obtain future financing for working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions, debt service requirements or other requirements; |
|
|
|
|
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of our
debt and reduce our ability to use our cash flow for other purposes; |
|
|
|
|
impact our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business; |
|
|
|
|
make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business or in general economic conditions. |
Our ability to meet our debt service and other obligations will depend upon our future
performance. Our business is substantially affected by changes in economic cycles. Our revenues and
earnings vary with the level of general economic activity and competition in the markets in which
we operate. Our business could also be affected by financial, political and other factors, many of
which are beyond our control. A higher interest rate on our debt could adversely affect our
operating results.
Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and borrowings may not be
available to us under bank loans in an amount sufficient to pay our debt service obligations or to
fund our other liquidity needs. Should this occur, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our
debt on or before maturity, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms or at all.
Our future growth may be limited if the economies of the markets in which we currently operate
contract, or if we are unable to enter new markets, find appropriate acquisition candidates or
adapt our products to meet changes in demand. Our growth may also be limited by the consummation of
acquisitions that may not be successfully integrated, or our entry into new markets or our
offerings of new products that may not achieve expected benefits.
Our future growth and results of operations could be adversely affected if the markets in
which we currently operate or the products we currently offer to potential customers, or both, do
not continue to support the expansion of our business. Our inability to grow in our existing
markets, to expand into new markets and/or adapt our products to meet changes in customer demand
would limit our ability to achieve growth objectives and would adversely impact our future
operating results. Similarly, if we do consummate acquisitions in the future, we may not be
successful in integrating the operations of the acquired businesses, including their product lines,
operations and corporate cultures, which would limit our ability to grow and would adversely impact
our future operating results.
Homebuilding is subject to warranty and liability claims in the ordinary course of business that
can be significant.
As a supplier of services to homebuilders, we are subject to warranty and construction defect
claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We have not recorded a warranty and other
reserves for products we sell. Additionally, the coverage offered by and the availability of
general liability insurance for construction defects are currently limited and costly. There can be
no assurance that coverage will not be further restricted and become more costly.
7
Inflation may result in increased costs that we may not be able to recoup if demand declines.
Inflation can have a long-term impact on us because increasing costs of materials and labor
may require us to increase the sales prices of our products in order to maintain satisfactory
margins. However, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which have a negative
impact on housing demand, in which case we may not be able to raise prices sufficiently to keep up
with the rate of inflation and our margins could decrease. A large portion of our raw materials
used in our products are produced by companies in China and a further decline in the value of the
U.S. dollar may result in higher prices for raw materials such as wire strand that used to create
out post tension cables, the key component of our product offerings.
Future terrorist attacks against the United States or increased domestic and international
instability could have an adverse effect on our operations.
A future terrorist attack against the United States could cause a sharp decrease in the number
of new contracts signed for homes and an increase in the cancellation of existing contracts.
Accordingly, adverse developments in the war on terrorism, future terrorist attacks against the
United States, or increased domestic and international instability could adversely affect our
business.
We are dependent upon our suppliers for the components used in the systems we design and install;
and our major suppliers are dependent upon the continued availability and pricing of steel strand
and plastic parts and other raw materials.
The raw materials and components used in our systems are purchased from a limited number of
manufacturers. In particular, Concrete Reinforcing Product, USA Wire, Harris Supply Solutions and
JDH Pacific, Inc. account for over 90% of our purchases of raw materials and components. We are
subject to market prices for the components that we purchase for our installations, which are
subject to fluctuation. We cannot ensure that the prices charged by our suppliers will not increase
because of changes in market conditions or other factors beyond our control. An increase in the
price of components could result in an increase in costs to our customers and could have a material
adverse effect on our revenues and demand for our services. Interruptions in our ability to
procure needed components, whether due to discontinuance by our suppliers, delays or failures in
delivery, shortages caused by inadequate production capacity or unavailability, or for other
reasons, would adversely affect or limit our sales and growth.
Geographical business expansion efforts we make could result in difficulties in successfully
managing our business and consequently harm our financial condition.
As part of our business strategy, we may seek to expand by acquiring competing businesses or
customer contracts in our current or other geographic markets. We face challenges in managing
expanding product and service offerings and in integrating acquired businesses with our own. We
cannot accurately predict the timing, size and success of our expansion efforts and the associated
capital commitments that might be required. We expect to face competition for expansion candidates,
which may limit the number of expansion opportunities available to us and may lead to higher
expansion costs. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire or profitably
manage additional businesses/contracts or successfully integrate acquired businesses/contracts, if
any, into our company, without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial
difficulties. In addition, expansion efforts involve a number of other risks, including:
|
|
|
Failure of the expansion efforts to achieve expected results; |
|
|
|
|
Diversion of managements attention and resources to expansion efforts; |
|
|
|
|
Failure to retain key customers or personnel of the acquired businesses; and |
|
|
|
|
Risks associated with unanticipated events, liabilities or contingencies. |
Client dissatisfaction or performance problems at a single acquired business could negatively
affect our reputation. The inability to acquire businesses on reasonable terms or successfully
integrate and manage acquired companies, or the occurrence of performance problems at acquired
companies, could result in dilution, unfavorable accounting charges and difficulties in
successfully managing our business.
8
Because our industry is highly competitive and has low barriers to entry, we may lose market share
to larger companies that are better equipped to weather deterioration in market conditions due to
increased competition.
Our industry is highly competitive and fragmented, is subject to rapid change and has low
barriers to entry. We may in the future compete for potential customers in regional areas against
competitors that are much larger with significantly more financial resources. Some of these
competitors may have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources and greater
name recognition than we have.
We believe that our ability to compete depends in part on a number of factors outside of our
control, including:
|
|
|
the ability of our competitors to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel; |
|
|
|
|
the price at which others offer comparable services and equipment; |
|
|
|
|
the extent of our competitors responsiveness to client needs |
If we are unable to attract, train and retain highly qualified personnel, the quality of our
services may decline and we may not successfully execute our internal growth strategies.
Our success depends in large part upon our ability to continue to attract, train, motivate and
retain skilled and experienced employees. Qualified technical employees periodically are in great
demand and may be unavailable in the time frame required to satisfy our customers requirements.
While we currently have available expertise sufficient for the requirements of our business,
expansion of our business could require us to employ additional highly skilled technical personnel,
including engineers, drafters and project managers. There can be no assurance that we will be able
to attract and retain sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees in the future. The loss of
personnel or our inability to hire or retain sufficient personnel at competitive rates of
compensation could impair our ability to secure and complete customer engagements and could harm
our business.
Our inability to obtain capital, use internally generated cash, or use shares of our common stock
or debt to finance future expansion efforts could impair the growth and expansion of our business.
Reliance on internally generated cash or debt to finance our operations or complete business
expansion efforts could substantially limit our operational and financial flexibility. The extent
to which we will be able or willing to use shares of common stock to consummate expansions will
depend on our market value from time to time and the willingness of potential sellers to accept it
as full or partial payment. Using shares of common stock for this purpose also may result in
significant dilution to our then existing stockholders. To the extent that we are unable to use
common stock to make future expansions, our ability to grow through expansions may be limited by
the extent to which we are able to raise capital for this purpose through debt or equity
financings. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain the necessary capital to
finance a successful expansion program or our other cash needs. If we are unable to obtain
additional capital on acceptable terms, we may be required to reduce the scope of any expansion. In
addition to requiring funding for expansions, we may need additional funds to implement our
internal growth and operating strategies or to finance other aspects of our operations. Our failure
to (i) obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, (ii) use internally generated cash or debt to
complete expansions because it significantly limits our operational or financial flexibility, or
(iii) use shares of common stock to make future expansions may hinder our ability to actively
pursue any expansion program we may decide to implement.
Risks Relating to our Common Stock
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider risk
factors before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock.
We recently amended our bylaws to make it easier for our majority stockholders, primarily Edward
Hohman and John Hohman, to approve corporate actions that require the consent of our stockholders.
9
We amended our bylaws to make it easier for our majority stockholders to approve corporate
actions without the need to call a meeting of all of our stockholders to vote on such corporate
actions. The Delaware corporation laws that govern us require that certain corporate actions, such
as a merger or sale of the Company, changes to our Certificate of Incorporation, and other actions,
be approved by our stockholders prior to those actions becoming effective. Such stockholder
approval can be obtained either by holding a stockholder meeting or, if our bylaws permit, by
obtaining the written consent to such actions of stockholders owning a sufficient number of shares
of stock to approve the actions (typically a majority of the outstanding shares of our stock). Our
bylaws previously permitted action to be approved by written consent of our stockholders, but the
bylaws required the written consent of all stockholders. We believe that obtaining the
written consent of all stockholders to approve corporate action would be impracticable, due the
time and cost that would be required. Similarly, holding a meeting of stockholders to approve
certain actions would involve additional legal and other expenses to the Company. Accordingly, our
Board of Directors amended our bylaws to permit stockholder approval of corporate actions by the
written consent of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting shares, as permitted by
Delaware law. On August 3, 2007, our board approved, and the Companys stockholders owning a
majority of the outstanding voting shares, approved an amendment to our Certificate of
Incorporation to change our name to American Post Tension, Inc.
Our stock price may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for investors.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate
widely in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the
following:
|
|
|
technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
announcements or press releases relating to the construction sector or to our business or prospects; |
|
|
|
|
additions or departures of key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
regulatory, legislative or other developments affecting us or the construction industry generally; |
|
|
|
|
limited availability of freely-tradable unrestricted shares of our common stock to satisfy
purchase orders and demand; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to execute our business plan; |
|
|
|
|
operating results that fall below expectations; |
|
|
|
|
volume and timing of customer orders; |
|
|
|
|
industry developments; |
|
|
|
|
economic and other external factors; and |
|
|
|
|
period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. |
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and
volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These
market fluctuations may also significantly affect the market price of our common stock.
There may be a limited market for our securities and we may fail to qualify for a NASDAQ or other
listing.
Although we plan on applying for listing of our common stock on a national market, such as the
NASDAQ Capital Market or the American Stock Exchange, once we meet the qualifications, there can be
no assurance that our initial listing application will be granted, when the required listing
criteria will be met or when, or if, our application will be granted. Thereafter, there can be no
assurance that trading of our common stock on such market will be sustained or desirable. At the
present time, we do not qualify for certain of the initial listing requirements of the NASDAQ
Capital Market or the American Stock Exchange. In the event that our common stock fails to qualify
for
10
initial or continued inclusion, our common stock would remain quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board
or become quoted in what are commonly referred to as the pink sheets. Under such circumstances,
it may be more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations, for our common stock, and
our common stock would become substantially less attractive to certain investors, such as financial
institutions and hedge funds.
We have issued substantial amounts of stock in private placements and if we inadvertently failed to
comply with the applicable securities laws, ensuing rescission rights or lawsuits would severely
damage our financial position.
The securities offered in our private placements (specifically shares issued prior to, or
contemporaneously with, the merger agreement completed between us and Post Tension of Nevada, Inc.)
were not registered under the Securities Act or any state blue sky law in reliance upon
exemptions from such registration requirements. Such exemptions are highly technical in nature and
if we inadvertently failed to comply with the requirements or any of such exemptive provisions,
investors would have the right to rescind their purchase of our securities or sue for damages. If
one or more investors were to successfully seek such rescission or prevail in any such suit, we
would face severe financial demands that could materially and adversely affect our financial
position. Financings by the issuance of private placements in the future that may be available to
us under current market conditions may involve sale or issuance of stock at prices below the prices
at which our common stock currently is reported on the OTC Bulletin Board or exchange on which our
common stock may in the future be listed.
Our common stock may be deemed a penny stock, which would make it more difficult for our
investors to sell their shares.
Our common stock may be subject to the penny stock rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which we refer to as the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules
apply to non-NASDAQ listed companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or that
have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for
three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers, who trade penny stock
to persons other than established customers complete specified documentation, make suitability
inquiries of investors and provide investors with specified information concerning trading in the
security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under some circumstances. Many
brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules
and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in these securities
is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, that could
have an adverse effect on the market for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny
stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
Risks Relating to Our Company
The success of our business depends on the continuing contributions of Edward Hohman, our Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer and John Hohman, our Chief Operating Officer, and other key personnel
who may terminate their employment with us at any time, and we will need to hire additional
qualified personnel.
We rely heavily on the services of Edward Hohman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
John Hohman, our Chief Operating Officer, as well as several other management personnel. Loss of
the services of any of such individuals would adversely impact our operations. None of our key
personnel are party to any employment agreements with us and management and other employees may
voluntarily terminate their employment at any time. We do not currently maintain any key man life
insurance with respect to any of such individuals.
On March 12, 2008, Dean Homayouni, formerly our Chief Financial Officer, delivered to us a
notice of termination pursuant to the terms of our employment agreement with Mr. Homayouni,
resulting from a compensation dispute with us. The Company and Mr. Homayouni attempted, during the
period from March 12 to April 4, to settle the dispute regarding the termination of his employment
and any ongoing relationship to the Company. On April 4, 2008, those settlement discussions and
Mr. Homayounis relationship to the Company were terminated without resolution. Although we intend
to seek a new Chief Financial Officer, we anticipate that it will be difficult to locate, recruit,
and hire a new Chief Financial Officer and that it may require a significant amount of time to hire
a new Chief Financial Officer. In the interim, we anticipate that Edward Hohman will sign the
certifications required by SEC rules to be included in documents filed with the SEC, but other
functions previously performed by Mr. Homayouni will necessarily be performed by other internal
personnel and outside consultants.
11
Our Chief Executive Officer, Edward Hohman, and our Chief Operating Officer, John Hohman,
beneficially own a majority of the shares of our common stock, which gives them control over all
major decisions on which our stockholders may vote and which may discourage an acquisition of the
Company.
Edward Hohman, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns approximately 38% of our
outstanding common stock. John Hohman, our Chief Operating Officer, beneficially owns approximately
38% of our outstanding common stock. The interests of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Operating Officer may differ from the interests of other stockholders. As a result, Edward Hohman
and John Hohman will have the right and ability to control virtually all corporate actions
requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how our other stockholders may vote, including the
following actions:
|
|
|
election of our directors; |
|
|
|
|
the amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws; |
|
|
|
|
the merger of our company or the sale of our assets or other corporate transaction; and |
|
|
|
|
controlling the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote. |
Edward Hohmans and John Hohmans stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from
seeking to acquire shares of our common stock or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our
company, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a
premium over our stock price.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the federal securities laws, which impose
additional burdens on us.
We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securities laws, including compliance with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a public company, we expect these new rules and regulations to
increase our compliance costs in 2008 and beyond and to make certain activities more time consuming
and costly.
As a public company, we also expect that these new rules and regulations may make it more
difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future,
and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher
costs to obtain the same coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and
retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers.
It may be time-consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal
controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, when applicable to us. Since
the departure of our former Chief Financial Officer, no members of our management have significant
experience operating a company, whose securities are traded or listed on an exchange, or with SEC
rules and requirements, including SEC reporting practices and requirements that are applicable to a
publicly-traded company. We will need to recruit, hire, train and retain additional financial
reporting, internal controls and other personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate
internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. As reported
below under Controls and ProceduresInternal Control Over Financial Reporting; Restatement of
Consolidated Financial Statements, Special Committee and Company Findings, our Board of Directors
determined that we did not maintain effective controls to ensure the existence, completeness,
accuracy, valuation, and documentation of discussions between a former Chief Financial Officer and
our external counsel, auditors and consultants, which resulted in the misstatement of our
restricted stock-based compensation expense and related disclosures, and in the need to restate our
consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and for the quarter ended
September 30, 2007. If we are unable to comply with the requirements of internal control over
financial reporting required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, when applicable, we may not be able to
obtain the independent accountant certifications or attestations required by the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
This Item is not applicable.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our corporate headquarters are located at 1179 Center Point Drive, Henderson, Nevada 89074,
where we lease 16,000 square feet of office and warehouse space. We lease 8,800 square feet of
office and warehouse space at 2419 S. 49th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85043, 6,000 square
feet of office and warehouse space at 1441 W. Miracle Mile, Tucson, Arizona 85705 and 6,400 square
feet of office and warehouse space at 9685 E. 102nd Avenue, Henderson, CO 80640 for our
regional offices. The four previously mentioned locations are leased from Edward Hohman, our
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and John Hohman, our Chief Operating Officer or entities
owned or controlled by them. Edward Hohman and John Hohman are the Companys principal
shareholders. Rents were paid or accrued in favor of the shareholders in the amount of $247,480 and
$214,485 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We have been involved in various legal and governmental proceedings incidental to our
continuing business operations. As of December 31, 2007 there were no continuing legal suits or any
known pending litigation related to claimed construction defects as a result of services and
products provide to our customers.
On October 26, 2008, the District Council of Iron Workers of the State of California and
Vicinity (Ironworkers) filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board alleging that Post
Tension of Nevada, Inc. engaged in unfair labor practices in its Phoenix operations. The General
Counsel of the Board issued a complaint and notice of hearing based on this charge alleging that
Post Tension committed certain unfair labor practices and that the employees had engaged in an
unfair labor practice strike. A hearing on this matter has been held and briefs to the
Administrative Law Judge are due to be filed on April 1, 2008. The primary issue is whether a
strike by employees was an unfair labor practice strike or an economic strike. Striking
employees have made an offer to return to work and several have returned to work and others will be
returned when work is available. If the strike is an unfair labor practice strike there is
approximately $30,000 in back wages due.
Ten of the striking employees and foremen have also filed charges with the EEOC in Cases Nos.
540-2008-01783 through 540-2008-01793 alleging that they have been discriminated against based on
their national origin. A position statement has been filed on behalf of the Company.
There are no legal disputes involving a labor organization at Post Tensions Henderson
location. Laborers Local 702 has been recognized as the representative of the field and shop
employees at the Henderson location and PTNV and Local 702 are engaged in bargaining for a
collective bargaining contract. There are no charges pending before any administrative agency
concerning this bargaining relationship.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of 2007 to a vote of our stockholders.

if any, for the development of our business. Dividends may be paid on our common stock only if and
when declared by our Board of Directors. We did not repurchase any shares that were outstanding and
we have no Treasury Stock.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
We did not purchase any outstanding shares of our stock during 2007.
Pursuant to an agreement dated as of January 4, 2008, John Hohman, our chief Operating Officer
and a director, purchased 465,920 shares of common stock from Kelly Hickel, who was at the time a
director of the Company, for a price of $93,184, or $0.20 per share. Pursuant to a separate
agreement, also dated January 4, 2008, Edward Hohman, our President and a director, purchased
465,920 shares of common stock from The Turnaround Group, LLC, a limited liability company
controlled by Mr. Hickel, for a price of $93,184, or $0.20 per share. The shares purchased from
Mr. Hickel and The Turnaround Group, LLC represent all of the shares of common stock owned by them
at the time of the purchases. Because John Hohman and Edward Hohman may be deemed to be
affiliated purchasers, as defined in SEC rules, the purchases are described in the following
table and are aggregated for purposes of the presentation in the table.

Results of Operations
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the U.S. housing market was impacted by a lack of
consumer confidence, decreased housing affordability, and large supplies of resale and new home
inventories and related pricing pressures. These factors contributed to weakened demand for new
homes, slower sales, higher cancellation rates, and increased price discounts and
selling incentives to attract homebuyers, compared with the years ended
16
December 31, 2006 and 2005, when we had experienced record growth in our operations. As a result,
gross margins recorded during the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased from the same periods in
the prior years.
We continue to operate our business with the expectation that these difficult market
conditions will continue to impact us for at least the near term. We have adjusted our approach to
land acquisition and construction practices, continuing to shorten our pipeline, reduce production
volumes, and balance home price and profitability with sales volume. We are slowing down planned
inventory purchases and payments. However, we continue to purchase economic quantities of inventory
where it makes economic and strategic sense to do so. We believe that these measures will help to
strengthen our market position and allow us to take advantage of opportunities that may develop in
the future.
Net sales
Net sales totaled $14,969,926 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, as compared to
$30,222,079 for the same period in 2006, or a decrease of 50.5%. Home Builders Research reported
that new home sales are down 43.8 percent in Las Vegas and permit activity is down 34.4 percent
from a year ago. The year to date 2007 metro Phoenix housing market continues at a pace 23% below
that of last year. Our revenue is derived from new construction of residential housing and is
directly related to new home sales and permits for new residential construction. The decreased
activity of new residential home construction has been pronounced in Las Vegas, Nevada and Phoenix,
Arizona has resulted in reduced sales level and gross margin.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales, including all installation expenses, during the twelve months ended December
31, 2007 was 74.7% of net sales, as compared to 66.1% in 2006. We are anticipating competition to
increase and downward pressure on our gross margin during the next year as current and potential
competitors seek new revenue streams. Gross margins deteriorated during the fourth quarter of 2007
as a result of price concessions to our customers and labor disputes at our Henderson, Nevada
location. We experienced a labor strike and slowdown at our Henderson, Nevada location during the
fourth quarter of 2007. A breakdown of our components of costs of goods sold as a percentage of
sales by quarter between 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

We have been informed by our major raw material suppliers that prices on steel strand, rebar
and plastic will experience price increases starting in March 2008. Based on known price increases
we are expecting our materials costs to increase a projected 11.7% after March 2008. There is no
assurance we will be able to pass such raw materials price increases onto our customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 were
$4,224,916 or 28.2% of net sales as compared to $4,249,243 or 14.1% of net sales during the same
period of the prior year. We hired marketing personnel to launch our Commercial Division, hired a
full time Chief Financial Officer and incurred consulting fees related to being a public company.
Effective August 6, 2006, we appointed a full-time Chief Financial Officer, as reported in a
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 9, 2007. Our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Operating Officer, whom together own approximately 76% of the outstanding shares of common
stock, have salaries of $500,000 per year, beginning in April 2007. The increase in the salaries of
the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and CFO resulted in additional expense of
$479,316 versus the same period in the prior year.
Acquisition related expenses and costs
PTNV and Magic issued shares of their common stock to consultants and advisors prior to, or
contemporaneously with, the consummation of the Merger. Including the shares issued by Magic to
the PTNV consultants in exchange for their shares of PTNV, Magic issued 5,325,840 shares of common
stock to consultants upon the consummation of the Merger. In addition, PTNV issued 10 shares of
common stock to employees prior to the consummation of the Merger that were converted into 101,600
shares of the Company stock upon the consummation of the Merger. The 5,325,840 shares of common
stock issued to consultants and the 101,600 shares of common stock issued to employees were valued
at $0.59 per share. The Company incurred legal, accounting and other professional services of
$77,155 during the twelve month period ending December 31, 2007 as a result of being a public
company and consummating the Merger.
Other income (expense), net
The Companys workmans compensation insurance company, Employers Insurance Company (EIC),
went public. The Company was a member of EIC. EIC gave to the Company stock when EIC went public.
The Company sold the shares in EIC on March 19, 2007 for net proceeds of $695,334 which resulted in
a gain on sale of stock.
Provision for income taxes
The Company did not record a provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006,
as PTNV was an S corporation until April 2007. All retained earnings of PTNV were reclassified to
Additional paid-in capital on the Subchapter S election termination by PTNV. The Company recorded a
Deferred Tax Asset at December 31, 2007 of $38,246 during the fourth quarter to reflect a loss
carryforward.
OUTLOOK
As a result of the increasingly challenging operating environment that developed in 2007, we
entered 2008 with a substantial decrease in backlog compared to year-earlier levels. This
substantial decrease in our backlog reflects lower backlog levels in each of our regions and stems
largely from declining orders for new homes.
While it is too early to extrapolate our experience in the first three months of 2008 to the
remainder of the year, we do not expect current difficult market conditions in U.S. housing markets
to improve significantly, or at all, in 2008. These conditions, which include an oversupply of new
and resale home inventories in certain markets, uncertainty in the relevant credit markets due to
the recent problems with sub-prime mortgages, lack of affordability in some areas and greater
competition, have encouraged many homebuilders and other sellers of residential real estate to
aggressively employ discounts, incentives and price concessions to close home sales. Until the
supply of unsold homes is reduced and affordability improves, we expect the current oversupply of
new and resale homes to continue. Because the markets in which we operate have experienced varying
degrees of difficulty, we expect them to improve at different rates with some markets recovering
faster than others.
We believe the general health of the U.S. economy, including still historically low interest
rates and high employment levels, bodes well for the eventual recovery of the homebuilding industry
and our long-term future financial performance. However, in the near-term, economic data suggest
that U.S. consumer demand for residential
18
housing at current prices remains soft. The U.S. Census Bureau recently reported that
single-family housing starts in December 2007 were approximately 25% lower than in December 2006,
while the median sales price for new homes rose approximately 0.3% in December 2007 from the
year-earlier period. Meanwhile, as speculative investors exit the market and consumers delay or
cancel home purchases, an oversupply of unsold inventory continues to produce supply/demand
imbalances. We believe it will take time for individual housing markets to work through excess
supply and that conditions will not improve until late-2008 or 2009 at the earliest.
In light of the present operating environment, we anticipate that our unit revenues, gross
margins, net income and earnings per share in 2008 will remain flat for our current operations. If
current net order or selling price trends worsen, or if economic factors, including inflation,
interest rates, consumer confidence or employment, deteriorate, our 2008 performance will likely
worsen as well. Entering the new year, we remain focused on the disciplines of our operational
business model to manage through this downturn. Specifically, we are continuing to align our
organization with anticipated flat unit sales volumes in 2008, and we are actively seeking
opportunities to improve our cost structure and maximize performance. Longer term, we believe that
our disciplined operating approach and strong financial position will allow us to capitalize on
improvements in the U.S. housing market as they occur.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with United
States generally accepted accounting principles. When more than one accounting principle, or the
method of its application, is generally accepted, we select the principle or method that is
appropriate in our specific circumstances (see Note 1 of our Consolidated Financial Statements).
Application of these accounting principles requires us to make estimates about the future
resolution of existing uncertainties; as a result, actual results could differ from these
estimates. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, we have made our best estimates
and judgments of the amounts and disclosures included in the consolidated financial statements,
giving due regard to materiality.
Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Use of EstimatesThe 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 date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue and Cost RecognitionRevenues from fixed-price construction contracts are recorded
using the completed contract method whereby revenues are earned when the contract is substantially
completed. Contracts are considered substantially completed when the concrete slab has been poured.
Revenue from sales of materials only is recorded upon shipment of the materials. Contract costs
include all direct material and labor as well as those indirect costs related to contract
performance such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation. Selling, general,
and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit RiskThe Company considers all highly
liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased,
to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company maintains its cash accounts at high
quality financial institutions with balances, at times, in excess of federally insured limits. As
of December 31, 2007, the Company had cash balances of $1,206,064, which is in excess of the
federally insured limit of $100,000. The Company has substantial cash balances which are invested
in a money market account with a bank.
Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for
accounts payable, accrued expenses, and due to related parties approximate fair value based on the
short-term maturity of these instruments.
19
Accounts receivable, tradeAccounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not
bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of
business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past
due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on
managements assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the
customers current credit worthiness and the economic environment. Trade receivables are written
off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded
when received. The Company follows the practice of filing statutory mechanics liens on
construction projects where collection problems are anticipated. The liens serve as collateral for
those accounts receivable.
Material and Supplies InventoryInventory consists of finished goods and is stated at the
lower of cost or market using the first-in first-out method.
Equipment and Leasehold ImprovementsEquipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets, which range from 5 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser
of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term. The lease term for buildings leased from
shareholders is considered to be the economic life of the building. Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon
retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in earnings.
Equipment Under Capital LeasesCapital leases, which transfer substantially the entire
benefits and risks incident to the ownership of the property to the Company, are accounted for as
the acquisition of an asset and the incurrence of an obligation. Under this method of accounting,
the cost of the leased asset is amortized principally using the straight-line method over its
estimated useful life, the obligation including interest thereon, is liquidated over the life of
the lease. Depreciation expense on equipment under a capital lease is included with that of owned
equipment.
Advertising CostsAdvertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Income TaxesIncome taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
109. 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 effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the
enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets
to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly.
Comprehensive IncomeSFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.
Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner
sources. The Company has not identified any sources of comprehensive income for the periods
presented.
Related PartiesFor the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be
related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise
significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice
versa, or where the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant
influence. Related parties may be individuals or other entities.
Basic and Diluted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share Net earnings and loss per share is computed in
accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 128,
Earnings Per Share (SFAS No. 128).
SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic net
earnings and loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could
occur through the potential effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options,
warrants and convertible securities. The calculation assumes: (i) the exercise of stock options and
warrants based on the treasury stock method; and (ii) the conversion of convertible preferred stock
only if an entity
20
records earnings from continuing operations, as such adjustments would otherwise be
anti-dilutive to earnings per share from continuing operations.
Seasonality
Our quarterly installation and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to
quarter as a result of seasonal changes as well as weather. Historically, sales are highest during
the second and third quarters as a result of more favorable weather conditions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To The Board of Directors
and Stockholders of American Post Tension, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Post Tension, Inc. as
of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of
income shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. 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 includes 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
Companys 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 consolidated financial position of American Post Tension, Inc. at December 31, 2007
and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.

AMERICAN POST TENSION, INC.
NOTES TO THE AUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Company Overview
Post Tension of Nevada, Inc. (PTNV) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
June 28, 1982. Headquartered in Henderson, NV the Company operates in one distinct line of
business. The Company provides a system of concrete slab reinforcement known as post tensioning
that utilizes a lattice of flexible cladded wire cable and adjustable anchors to strengthen a
poured in place concrete slab. The cable grid is set in place before the concrete pour and is a
replacement system from the standard re-bar reinforcement system. After the concrete has cured,
the unanchored cable ends are pulled to a specified tension and then anchored. This system of
concrete slab reinforcement has been in general use since 1967 and is generally considered to be
superior to re-bar reinforcement.
The Company markets its services throughout the Southwestern United States to local and
national concrete supply companies and homebuilders. The work is performed under fixed-price
contracts for delivery and installation of the system and in some cases, delivery of materials
only. The Company has sales and service locations in Henderson, NV, Phoenix and Tucson, AZ and in
Denver, CO.
On April 12, 2007, the Company completed a reverse merger transaction with Magic
Communications, Inc. (Magic), which was originally formed as a New York corporation on January
16, 1997 and reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in November 2002. Magic conducted only
limited operations prior to the reverse merger and changed its name to American Post Tension, Inc.
(APTI) on September 24, 2007.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Use of EstimatesThe 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 date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue and Cost RecognitionRevenues from fixed-price construction contracts are recorded
using the completed contract method whereby revenues are earned when the contract is substantially
completed. Contracts are considered substantially completed when the concrete slab has been poured.
Revenue from sales of materials only is recorded upon shipment of the materials. Contract costs
include all direct material and labor as well as those indirect costs related to contract
performance such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation. Selling, general,
and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit RiskThe Company considers all highly
liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased,
to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company maintains its cash accounts at high
quality financial institutions with balances, at times, in excess of federally insured limits. As
of December 31, 2007, the Company had cash balances of $1,206,064, which is in excess of the
federally insured limit of $100,000. The Company has substantial cash balances which are invested
in a money market account with a bank.
27
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Companys financial
instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, other payable and
accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these
instruments.
Accounts receivable, tradeAccounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not
bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of
business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past
due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on
managements assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the
customers current credit worthiness and the economic environment. Trade receivables are written
off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded
when received. The Company follows the practice of filing statutory mechanics liens on
construction projects where collection problems are anticipated. The liens serve as collateral for
those accounts receivable.
Material and Supplies InventoryInventory consists of finished goods and is stated at the
lower of cost or market using the first-in first-out method.
Equipment and Leasehold ImprovementsEquipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets, which range from 5 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser
of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term. The lease term for buildings leased from
shareholders is considered to be the economic life of the building. Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon
retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in earnings.
Equipment Under Capital LeasesCapital leases, which transfer substantially the entire
benefits and risks incident to the ownership of the property to the Company, are accounted for as
the acquisition of an asset and the incurrence of an obligation. Under this method of accounting,
the cost of the leased asset is amortized principally using the straight-line method over its
estimated useful life, the obligation including interest thereon, is liquidated over the life of
the lease. Depreciation expense on equipment under a capital lease is included with that of owned
equipment.
Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were approximately $33,223
and $26,373,for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Income TaxesIncome taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
109. 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 effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the
enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets
to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly. Prior to the reverse merger
with Magic, PTNV filed its income tax returns pursuant to the provisions of Subchapter S of the
Internal Revenue Code. As such, net income was passed through to the benefit of the shareholders.
This election terminated as a result of the merger.
Comprehensive IncomeSFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.
Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner
sources. The Company has not identified any sources of comprehensive income for the periods
presented.
Related PartiesFor the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be
related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or
exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice
versa, or where the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant
influence. Related parties may be individuals or other entities.
28
Segment
reporting SFAS No.
131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information establishes
standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent
with the Companys internal organization structure as well as information about geographical
areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. Starting from 2006, the
Company operates in one reportable operating segment.
Basic and Diluted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share Net earnings and loss per share is computed in
accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (''SFAS No. 128).
SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic net
earnings and loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could
occur through the potential effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options,
warrants and convertible securities. The calculation assumes: (i) the exercise of stock options and
warrants based on the treasury stock method; and (ii) the conversion of convertible preferred stock
only if an entity records earnings from continuing operations, as such adjustments would otherwise
be anti-dilutive to earnings per share from continuing operations.
Equity-Based Compensation On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which requires the measurement and recognition of
compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including
employee stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes our previous
accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (APB 25). In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the
provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123(R).
The Company has adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which
requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of our
fiscal year 2006. Our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 reflect
the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the
Companys financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not
include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R)
for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3,246,768 which consisted of stock-based
compensation expense related to the issuance of restricted common stock to employees and others for
services performed in connection with the Magic merger.
NOTE 3: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements
and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a
material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). This interpretation clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in
accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation
also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006, except for nonpublic and pass-through entities which will have to comply for
periods that begin after December 15, 2007.
PTNV was formed as an S Corporation and terminated its Sub S tax status and elected to operate
as a C corporation in tandem with the completion of the Merger. Based on the Companys evaluation,
it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition
in the Companys financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions and
deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in
a material change to its financial position. Consequently, the Company did not record any
cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48. The Company does not expect its tax
position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues
under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its
position.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (SFAS 157). SFAS
157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.
Management does not expect adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on the Companys
financial statements.
29
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FASB 159).
This standard permits an entity to measure financial instruments and certain other items at
estimated fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 are elective; however, the amendment
to FASB No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all
entities that own trading and available-for-sale securities. The fair value option created by SFAS
159 permits an entity to measure eligible items at fair value as of specified election dates. The
fair value option (a) may generally be applied instrument by instrument, (b) is irrevocable unless
a new election date occurs, and (c) must be applied to the entire instrument and not to only a
portion of the instrument. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous
fiscal year provided that the entity (i) makes that choice in the first 120 days of that year, (ii)
has not yet issued financial statements for any interim period of such year, and (iii) elects to
apply the provisions of FASB 157. Management is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159, if
any, on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations, or
SFAS No. 141R. SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No.
141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141R
will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business
combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any business combinations we engage in will be recorded and
disclosed following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009. The Company expects SFAS No. 141R will
have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent
upon acquisitions at that time. The Company is still assessing the impact of this pronouncement.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements-An Amendment of ARB No. 51, or SFAS No. 160. SFAS No. 160 establishes new
accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The Company believes that SFAS 160 should not have a material impact on our
financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 4: BUSINESS COMBINATION
On April 12, 2007, the Company completed a business combination with Magic that has been
accounted for as a reverse merger. The 3,414,000 outstanding shares held by Magics shareholders
prior to the merger are considered to be issued by the Company at the merger date in exchange for
the net assets of Magic, $4,066 at that date. Additionally, on the merger date, the Company agreed
to assume certain obligations of Magic, including the fulfillment of certain financial consultant
contracts dated in March of 2007 which provided for the issuance of Magic common stock in exchange
for the services. The shares had not been issued by Magic as of the merger date. Additionally,
PTNV was obligated to pay a success fee to a financial consultant as a result of the merger.
Immediately prior to the merger, PTNV issued shares of its common stock to the consultants that
became convertible into 5,325,840 newly issuable Magic shares. In accordance with the valuation
provisions of SFAS No. 141, the market price for a reasonable period before and after the date that
the terms of the acquisition are agreed to and announced were considered in determining the fair
value of securities issued. As a result, the Company recorded an aggregate of $3,142,245 of expense
in its financial statements in recognition of the costs associated with the consulting contracts.
As a result of the Merger, PTNV shareholders continue to exercise control over the Company,
the transaction is deemed to be a capital transaction whereby the Magic is treated as a
non-business entity. Therefore, the accounting for the business combination is identical to that
resulting from a reverse merger, except no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded as a
result of the Merger. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize goodwill or any other intangible
assets in connection with the transaction. PTNV is treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes.
Therefore, the historic financial statements prior to the Merger are those of PTNV and post merger,
the financial statements represent the consolidated financial position and operating results of
Company and
30
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Post Tension of Nevada. All retained earnings of PTNV were
recapitalized to additional paid in capital as of the merger date.
There was no corresponding tax effect, since PTNV was an S Corporation prior to the merger.
All tax benefits associated with the additional expense associated with the valuation of the shares
issued are a benefit to the S Corporation shareholders prior to the completion of the Merger.

NOTE 8: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company leases substantially all of its office, maintenance and warehouse facilities from
Edward Hohman, President, and John Hohman, Chief Operating Officer, who are the Companys principal
shareholders. Rents were paid or accrued in favor of the shareholders in the amount of $247,480
during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, $214,585 during the twelve months ended December
31, 2006 and $214,560 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.
NOTE 9: SHAREHOLDER LOANS AND LONG TERM DEBT
At December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the Company had loans due to its shareholders
aggregating $185,085 and $733,790, respectively. The loans are due on April 15, 2008 and bear
interest at 7% per annum. Additionally the Company has notes payable for vehicle purchases
aggregating $0 and $9,577 at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The notes bear
interest at rates from 6.5% and 8% per annum and are due in monthly installments aggregating
$1,938. Those loans were repaid in full on April 7, 2008.
NOTE 10: STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
PTNV was incorporated as a Subchapter S corporation. During April 2007 and prior to the
consummation of the Merger, the Company became a C corporation. As a result of the Merger, PTNV
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of APTI. Each outstanding share of PTNV common stock was converted
into the right to receive 10,160.064 shares of APTIs common stock as set forth in the Merger
Agreement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement at closing, APTI issued, and the PTNV
stockholders received, in a tax-free exchange, shares of APTI common stock such that PTNV
stockholders now own approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
As a result of the Merger, as the acquired entitys shareholders exercise control over APTI,
the transaction is deemed to be a capital transaction whereby APTI is treated as a non-business
entity. Therefore, the accounting for the business combination is identical to that resulting from
a reverse merger, except that no goodwill or other intangible assets will be recorded as a result
of the Merger. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize goodwill or any other intangible assets
in connection with the transaction. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger transaction
and PTNV was deemed to be the acquirer. The assets, liabilities and the historical operations prior
to the Merger are those of PTNV. Subsequent to the Merger, the consolidated financial statements
include the assets and liabilities of PTNV and American Post Tension, Inc. and the historical
operations of PTNV and the operations of American Post Tension, Inc. from the closing date of the
Merger.
PTNV and Magic issued shares of their common stock to consultants and advisors prior to, or
contemporaneously with, the consummation of the Merger. Including the shares issued by Magic to
the PTNV consultants in exchange for their shares of PTNV, Magic issued 5,325,840 shares of common
stock to consultants. In addition, PTNV issued 10 shares of common stock to employees prior to the
consummation of the Merger that were converted into 101,600 shares of the Company upon the
consummation of the Merger. The 5,325,840 shares of common stock and 101,600 shares of common
stock were valued their estimated fair value based upon the trading price of the Companys common
stock as of the date the commitment to issue the shares became evident.
PTNV reclassified $1,920,518 from retained earnings to Additional paid in capital when PTNV
terminated is Subchapter S election in April 2007. PTNV prior to the consummation of the Merger
made distributions to shareholders in the amount of $438,050 during the three months ended March
31, 2007 and $2,556,718 during the three months ended June 30, 2007. The distributions to
shareholders were recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.
32
All references to shares and per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements have
been restated to reflect the aforementioned share exchange. All retained earnings of PTNV were
reclassified to Additional Paid in Capital on the date of the termination of its Subchapter S
election in April 2007.
The Company issued 25,000 shares of restricted stock to two independent members of the Board
of Directors in July 2007 (for a total issuance of 50,000 shares of restricted common stock). The
Company recorded compensation expense in the amount of $34,000 to reflect the estimated value of
the 50,000 shares of common stock.
NOTE 11: STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Board of Directors of Magic, on November 24, 2002, adopted the Companys 2002
Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (Plan) so as to provide a critical long-term incentive for
employees, non-employee directors, consultants, attorneys and advisors of the Company and its
subsidiaries, if any. The Board of Directors believes that the Companys policy of granting stock
options to such persons will continue to provide it with a critical advantage in attracting and
retaining qualified candidates. In addition, the Plan is intended to provide the Company with
maximum flexibility to compensate plan participants. It is expected that such flexibility will be
an integral part of the Companys policy to encourage employees, non-employee directors,
consultants, attorneys and advisors to focus on the long-term growth of stockholder value. The
Board of Directors believes that important advantages to the Company are gained by an option
program such as the 2002 Plan which includes incentives for motivating employees of the Company,
while at the same time promoting a closer identity of interest between employees, non-employee
directors, consultants, attorneys and advisors on the one hand, and the stockholders on the other.
As of December 31, 2007, no options have been granted pursuant to the plan.
NOTE 12: INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No.109). SFAS No.109 requires the recognition of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial
statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be
derived from tax loss and tax credit carry-forwards. SFAS No. 109 additionally requires the
establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax
assets. Prior to 2003, the Company and its stockholders elected to be taxed under subchapter S of
the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, all income and losses were reported by the Companys
stockholders. The following is a reconciliation of income taxes computed using the statutory
Federal rate to the income tax expense in the financial statements for December 31, 2007.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company has net operating losses for Federal income tax purposes

Under Sections 382 and 269 (the shell corporation rule) of the Code following an ownership
change, special limitations (Section 382 Limitations) apply to the use by a corporation of its
net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards arising before the ownership change and various other
carryforwards of tax attributes (referred to collectively as the Applicable Tax Attributes). The
Company had NOL carryforwards due to historical losses of Magic of approximately $364,393 at
December 31, 2006. This NOL carryforward will expire through calendar year 2026 if not utilized and
is subject to review and possible adjustment by the IRS. As a result of the Merger, the
33
Company experienced an ownership change, and Section 382 Limitations will apply to the
Applicable Tax Attributes of the Company.
The Company has adopted the provisions of FIN 48. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48,
the Company performed a comprehensive review of its uncertain tax positions in accordance with
recognition and measurement standards established by FIN 48. In this regard, an uncertain tax
position represents the Companys expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return,
or expected to be taken in a tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax
expense for financial reporting purposes. The Company does not expect any reasonably possible
material changes to the estimated amount of liability associated with uncertain tax positions
through January 1, 2008. The Companys continuing policy is to recognize accrued interest and
penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
NOTE
13: OTHER INCOME
The
Companys workmans compensation insurance company,
Employers Insurance Company (EIC), went public. The
Company was a member of EIC, and thus received stock from EIC when
it went public. The Company sold the shares in EIC on March 19, 2007
for net proceeds of $695,334, which resulted in a gain on sale of
stock. The gain was reflected on the Companys condensed
consolidated statements of operations as other income.
NOTE 14: NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net (loss) income per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share,
which requires presentation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share. Basic net (loss)
income per share excludes dilution, and is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. During the twelve months ended
December 31, 2007 and for all prior periods, diluted net income per share is computed in the same
manner as basic net income per share after assuming issuance of common stock for all potentially
dilutive equivalent shares, which includes (1) stock options (using the treasury stock method), and
(2) the effect of unvested shares of common stock outstanding. Anti-dilutive instruments are not
considered in this calculation.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted
earnings per share computation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:

ITEM 9. |
|
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE |
On April 16, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in our independent
registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 from Sherb & Co., LLP
to Tinter Scheifley Tang, LLP. On May 21, 2007, we entered into an engagement agreement with Tinter
Scheifley Tang, LLP to audit our financial statements as of December 31, 2006, and on October 10,
2006 we entered into an engagement agreement with Tinter Scheifley Tang, LLP to audit our financial
statements as of December 31, 2005.
Sherb & Co., LLPs report on our financial statements dated March 22, 2007 for the past two
fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles,
except that Sherb & Co., LLP expressed in its report dated March 22, 2007 substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and
2006 and in the subsequent interim period through May 20, 2007, there were no disagreements with
Sherb & Co., LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Sherb & Co., LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of
the disagreement in connection with its report. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and
2006 and in the subsequent interim period through May 20, 2007, there were no reportable events as
defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of SEC Regulation S-K.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and in the subsequent interim period
through May 20, 2007, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted Tinter Scheifley Tang, LLP
regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or
proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or any
matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as described above), as there were no such
disagreements, with Sherb & Co., LLP, or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of
SEC Regulation S-K).
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys
management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Edward Hohman, and our then-current
Chief Financial Officer (CFO), C. Dean Homayouni, Esq., CPA, of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007. Based
upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
the report that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting; Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements,
Special Committee and Company Findings
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management assessed
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In
making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting
firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to
attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that
permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.

On December 28, 2006, Magic entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with PTNV, which became
firm and was announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2007.
On April 17, 2007, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (as amended by the filing of amended Current
Reports on Form 8-K on May 7, 2007 and June 28, 2007) with the SEC to report the completion of the
Merger Agreement with PTNV and Acquisition Corp. The Merger Agreement provided that, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Corp, would
merge with and into PTNV (the Merger). As a result of the Merger, PTNV became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Magic. Each outstanding share of PTNV common stock was converted into the right to
receive 10,160.064 shares of Magics common stock as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Under the
terms of the Merger Agreement at closing, Magic issued, and the PTNV stockholders received, in a
tax-free exchange, shares of the Company common stock such that PTNV stockholders now own
approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Magic Communications, Inc.,
subsequent to the Merger, changed its name to American Post Tension, Inc. (APTI) on September 24,
2007.
PTNV and Magic issued shares of their common stock to consultants and advisors prior to, or
contemporaneously with, the consummation of the Merger. Including the shares issued by Magic to
the PTNV consultants in exchange for their shares of PTNV, Magic issued 5,325,840 shares of common
stock to consultants upon the consummation of the Merger. In addition, PTNV issued 10 shares of
common stock to employees prior to the consummation of the Merger that were converted into 101,600
shares of the Company upon the consummation of the Merger.
The 5,325,840 shares of common stock and 101,600 shares of common stock were originally valued
at $0.16 per share. On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors created a Special Committee
comprised of the two independent directors to work with the Companys then-current Chief Financial
Officer to conduct a voluntary, internal review of the Companys recording and valuation of stock
issued to employees and consultants. The Special Committee retained outside counsel and a valuation
expert to assist with this review. Based on the final report issued by the Companys retained
valuation expert, the Special Committee made a preliminary determination that the prior valuation
of $0.16 per share recorded by the Company should be adjusted to a revised fair market value of
$0.36 per share. The valuation experts calculation involved an average of fair values determined
independently by means of a market approach and a discounted cash flow approach. Following that
preliminary determination, the Board of Directors reviewed the valuation experts report with the
Companys independent accountant and, as a result of that review, determined that the valuation
recorded by the Company should be adjusted to a revised fair market based solely upon a market
approach in accordance with the valuation provisions of SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations,
whereby the market price for a reasonable period before and after the date that the terms of the
acquisition are agreed to and announced are to be considered in determining the fair value of
securities issued.. The revised valuation resulted in a fair market value of $.59 per share which
provided for an additional expense of $0.43 per share of common stock issued results in an
additional non-cash compensation expense of $2,333,799 during the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Compensation expense is recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123(R) (revised) Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)).
All of the foregoing charges were non-cash and had no impact on our reported net sales or cash
or cash equivalents. There was no effect upon the balance sheet accounts as reported in the 10-Q
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 filed on August 14, 2007 and as amended in Amendment No. 1
thereto, also filed on August 14, 2007).
As a result of the work of the Special Committee and the additional consultations with our
independent registered public accounting firm, our Board of Directors determined that we did not
maintain effective controls to ensure the existence, completeness, accuracy, valuation, and
documentation of discussions between a former Chief Financial Officer and our external counsel,
auditors and consultants, which resulted in the misstatement of our restricted stock-based
compensation expense and related disclosures. As a result of the findings of the committee, our
Board of Directors concluded that we needed to amend the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 filed on August 14, 2007 (and as amended in Amendment No. 1 thereto,
also filed on August 14, 2007) to restate our condensed consolidated financial statements for the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 and the related disclosures. Our Board also concluded that we needed to
amend the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 filed on November
14, 2007 to restate our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September
30, 2007 and the related disclosures.
37
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. A material weakness is a
control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected.
Effective controls, including monitoring, were not maintained to ensure the existence,
completeness, accuracy, valuation and documentation of discussions between a former Chief Financial
Officer and our external counsel, auditors and consultants. This control deficiency resulted in the
misstatement of our restricted stock-based compensation expense and related disclosures, and in the
need to restate our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and for
the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

On March 12, 2008, Mr. Homayouni delivered to the Company a notice of termination

employment and any ongoing relationship to the Company (including, among other things,

PAUL LISAK retired in 2002 as Los Angeles (LA) Countys Hazardous Materials Control Manager, and
from over 30 years service devoted to the administration and management of public health, and
management of hundreds of millions of dollars in public funds. Mr. Lisak had been promoted to the
aforementioned position in 1994, after serving 10 years in LA Countys Hazardous Waste/Materials
Divisions as a supervisor and industrial hygienist. Prior to that, in 1980, he had been promoted to
Administrator of LA Countys Public Health Labs, testing for communicable diseases and associated
environmental chemical and toxic analyses. He is currently on the board of Early Detection, Inc.
and Paradise Music & Entertainment, Inc. both publicly traded companies.
Our Board has considered the independence of its members in light of the independence criteria
defined by the applicable NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. Marketplace Rules (the NASDAQ Rules). Only
those directors who do not have any of the categorical relationships that preclude them from being
independent within the meaning of applicable NASDAQ Rules are considered to be independent
directors. In connection with its independence considerations, the board has reviewed the Companys
relationships with organizations with which our directors or their family members are affiliated.
Based on our review of the NASDAQ Rules, we have determined that Mr. Paul Lisak and Mr. David
Meyrowitz are independent directors of the Company.
In consideration for their service on the Board, we have agreed to issue 25,000 shares of our
Common Stock to each of Messrs. Lisak and Meyrowitz and to issue to each of them warrants to
purchase 50,000 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share. We also have agreed to
issue an additional 25,000 shares of Common Stock to each of them and to issue additional warrants
as described above to each of them in each year they are re-elected to the Board or otherwise are
serving as Board members. We also have agreed to pay each of them $1,000 for each meeting of the
Board or any committee thereof that they attend in person and $500 for each meeting of the Board or
any committee thereof that they attend by telephonic or other electronic means and to reimburse
their costs of attending such meetings.
Board Meetings and Committees; Annual Meeting Attendance
Following the completion of the Merger, our Board of Directors held 3 regularly scheduled and
no special meetings. No incumbent director attended fewer than 75% of those meetings. In addition,
the special committee of independent directors, referred to above under the heading Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting; Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements, Special
Committee and Company Findings, held telephonic meetings, all of which were attended by both Mr.
Meyrowitz and Mr. Lisak. We do not have a formal policy with regard to board members attendance
at annual stockholders meetings.
We currently do not have standing committees of our Board of Directors. Our current Board
consists of the two directors who composed the Board of Directors of Post Tension of Nevada prior
to the Merger, namely Edward Hohman and John Hohman, and two members added in connection with the
Merger, namely David Meyrowitz and Paul Lisak.
Audit Committee. We intend to establish an audit committee of the Board of Directors, which
will consist of independent directors. The audit committees duties would be to recommend to our
Board of Directors the engagement of independent auditors to audit our financial statements and to
review our accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee would review the scope, timing
and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal
auditors and independent public accountants, including their recommendations to improve the system
of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee would at all times
40
be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, free from any relationship
which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who
possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles. In
the absence of a formally established audit committee, our audit committee is defined by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as the entire Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors has determined that none of the board members can be classified as an
audit committee financial expert as defined in applicable SEC rules. The Board of Directors
believes that attracting and retaining board members who could be classified as an audit committee
financial expert is unlikely at this time due to the high cost of attracting such director
candidates.
The Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with
management. The Board of Directors has also discussed with the independent auditors the matters
required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA,
Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. The Board of Directors has received the written disclosures and the
letter from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1
(Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as
adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3600T, and has discussed with our
independent accountant the independent accountants independence. Based on the review and
discussions referred to in this paragraph, the Board of Directors recommended that the audited
financial statements be included in the companys annual report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal
year for filing with the SEC. As we have no formal audit committee, according to SEC regulation,
our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee.
Compensation Committee. We intend to establish a compensation committee of the Board of
Directors. The compensation committee would review and approve our salary and benefits policies,
including compensation of executive officers. The compensation committee would also administer our
stock option plans and recommend and approve grants of stock options under such plans.
Nominating Committee. We do not currently have a nominating committee of the Board of
Directors. We have not held an annual meeting of stockholders since the Merger. The ownership of
approximately 76% of our outstanding common stock by John Hohman and Edward Hohman effectively
ensures that they can nominate and elect our board members.

Edward Hohman, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns, in the aggregate, approximately
38% of our outstanding common stock. John Hohman, our Chief Operating Officer, beneficially owns,
in the aggregate, approximately 38% of our outstanding common stock. The interests of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer may differ from the interests of other stockholders
and their stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of our
common stock or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company, which in turn could reduce
our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.. As a
result of the large stock ownership, Edward Hohman and John Hohman will have the right and ability
to control virtually all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how our
other stockholders may vote, including the following actions: |
|
|
|
election of our directors; |
|
|
|
|
The amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws; |
|
|
|
|
The merger of our company or the sale of our assets or other corporate transaction; and |
|
|
|
|
controlling the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote. |

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions with related persons
We or one of our subsidiaries may occasionally enter into transactions with a related party.
Related parties include our executive officers, directors, nominees for director, 5% or more
beneficial owners of our common shares and immediate family members (as defined by SEC rule) of
these persons. We refer to transactions involving amounts in excess of 1% of our assets or
$120,000, whichever is less, and in which the related party has a direct or indirect material
interest as an interested transaction.
At December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the Company had loans due to John and Ed Hohman
aggregating $185,085 and $733,790, respectively. The loans are due on April 15, 2008 and bear
interest at 7% per annum. Additionally the Company has notes payable for vehicle purchases
aggregating $0 and $9,577 at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The notes bear
interest at rates from 6.5% and 8% per annum and are due in monthly installments aggregating
$1,938. Those loans were repaid in full on April 7, 2008.
Review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons
Each interested transaction must be approved or ratified by a majority of the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors will consider, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether
the interested transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an
unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances as well as the extent of the
related partys interest in the transaction.
The Board of Directors has reviewed the following interested transactions and has determined
that such transactions are pre-approved or ratified, as applicable, by the Board of Directors, even
if such transactions involve amounts in excess of 1% of our assets or $120,000, whichever is less:
|
|
|
employment by the Company of an executive officer of the Company if: (i) the related compensation is
required to be reported in our proxy statement or (ii) the compensation would have been reported in
our proxy statement if the executive officer was a named executive officer and the executive officer
is not an immediate family member of another executive officer or director of the Company; |
|
|
|
|
compensation paid to a director if the compensation is required to be reported in our proxy statement; |
|
|
|
|
any transaction where the related partys interest arises solely from the ownership of the Companys |
45
|
|
|
common shares and all holders of the Companys common shares received the same benefit on a pro rata
basis; and |
|
|
|
any transaction involving a related party where the rates or charges involved are determined by
competitive bids. |
The Company leases substantially all of its office, maintenance and warehouse facilities from
Edward Hohman, President, and John Hohman, Chief Operating Officer, who are the Companys principal
shareholders or entities controlled by them. Rents were paid or accrued in favor of the
shareholders in the amount of $247,480 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, $214,585
during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and $214,560 during the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005. The leases are year to year and automatically renew unless notice is given by
either party that the lease agreement will be terminated. The leases were renewed for the twelve
months ending December 31, 2008 on the same terms that were in effect for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2007.
