THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)
The Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2008, the Condensed Statements of
Operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and
the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007 have been prepared by us without audit, and in accordance with the
requirements of Form 10-Q/A and, therefore, they do not include all information
and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the accompanying
unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly in all material respects our financial position as of June 30,
2008, results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
This report should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-KSB for our fiscal
year ended December 31, 2007.
The results reported for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 are
not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the full
year.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss
transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general,
title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise.
Revenue is accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF)
Issue No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an
Agent." Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since the Company has the risks
and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and
bears all credit risk.
The Company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as
revenues, and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred, in accordance
with EITF 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs."
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - On September 15, 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 157, FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENTS ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to
measure assets and liabilities. This statement references fair value as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability,
in an orderly transaction, between market participants in the market in which
the reporting entity transacts. The statement applies whenever other standards
require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The
statement does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. The
Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 related to financial assets and
liabilities as of January 1, 2008. The application of this standard did not have
a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition. The
Company elected to defer adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and
liabilities and does not anticipate that adoption in fiscal 2009 will have a
material impact on the results of operations or financial condition.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE
OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES -- INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT
OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 115. Under SFAS No. 159, a company may elect to measure
eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are
reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. If elected, SFAS No. 159
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company did
not elect to begin reporting any financial assets or liabilities at fair value
upon adoption of SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 and did not elect to report at
fair value any new financial assets or liabilities entered during the quarter
ended June 30, 2008
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141R, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141R"), which establishes principles
and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including
recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree. This statement also establishes disclosure requirements to enable
financial statement users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the
adoption of SFAS 141R will have on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an
Amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and
reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by
parties other than the parent; the amount of net income attributable to the
parent and to the noncontrolling interest; changes in a parent's ownership
interest; and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment
when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure
requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the
parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is required to
be adopted prospectively for the first annual reporting period beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the effect that the
adoption of this statement will have on its financial statements.
2. LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive
loss per share gives effect to stock options and warrants, which are considered
to be dilutive common stock equivalents. The number of common shares potentially
issuable upon the exercise of certain options and warrants that were excluded
from the diluted loss per common share calculation was approximately 5,124,000
and 3,519,000 because they are antidilutive as a result of a net loss for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

3. STOCK COMPENSATION
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company's Plan is accounted for in accordance
with the recognition and measurement provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("FAS
123(R)"). FAS 123 (R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment
transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the
financial statements. In addition, the Company adheres to the guidance set forth
within Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin
("SAB") No. 107, which provides the Staff's views regarding the interaction
between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides
interpretations with respect to the valuation of share-based payments for public
companies.
Stock options and warrants issued in exchange for non-employee services pursuant
to the provisions of FAS 123(R), Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 96-3 and
EITF 96-18 are accounted for at the fair value of the consideration or services
received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more
reliably measurable
The Company's results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008
and 2007 includes share-based compensation expense totaling approximately
$129,000 and $25,000 and $272,000 and $51,000, respectively. Such amounts have
been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within
selling, general and administrative expenses. No income tax benefit has been
recognized in the statement of operations for share-based compensation
arrangements due to a history of operating losses.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
During Fiscal 2005, the Company established, and the stockholders approved, an
Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "Plan") for the
granting of up to 2,000,000 non-statutory and incentive stock options and stock
awards to directors, officers, consultants and key employees of the Company. On
June 9, 2005, the Board of Directors amended the Plan to increase the number of
stock options and awards to be granted under the Plan to 4,000,000.
All stock options under the Plan are granted at or above the fair market value
of the common stock at the grant date. Employee and non-employee stock options
vest over varying periods and generally expire either 5 or 10 years from the
grant date.
The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. For option grants, the Company will take
into consideration guidance under SFAS 123R and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 107 (SAB 107) when reviewing and updating assumptions. The expected
volatility is based upon historical volatility of our stock and other
contributing factors. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time
elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees.
Previously such assumptions were determined based on historical data.
The weighted average assumptions made in calculating the fair values of options
granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:
--------------------------------- ----------------------- --------------------
Six Months Ended Three Months Ended

(UNAUDITED)
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the six
months ended June 30, 2008 was $0.53. There were no option grants for the six
months ended June 30, 2007.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at
June 30, 2008 is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the
underlying options and the market price of the Company's common stock for the
shares that had exercise prices, that were lower than the $.50 closing price of
the Company's common stock on June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2008 there were no
outstanding options with exercise prices less than $.50.
As of June 30, 2008, the fair value of unamortized compensation cost related to
unvested stock option awards was approximately $612,765. Unamortized
compensation cost as of June 30, 2008 is expected to be recognized over a
remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.89 years.
4. NOTE RECEIVABLE
In February 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Blue Bite, LLC
("Blue Bite"), a distributor of wireless networking solutions, to become an
authorized provider and reseller in the United States of mobile advertising
solutions.
In connection with the agreement, the Company loaned Blue Bite $50,000. The Note
bears interest at 10% per annum and is due March 1, 2009. The Note is
convertible, at the Company's option, into a 10% ownership interest of Blue
Bite. Upon conversion, the Company would also have to deliver to Blue Bite,
$75,000 in restricted Common Stock of the Company as additional consideration.
5. TRANSACTIONS WITH MAJOR CUSTOMER
The Company sells its products to a geographically diverse group of customers,
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not
require collateral.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, sales from ten percent or
greater customers approximated 21.7% and 27.0%, respectively of total sales.
During these reporting periods, we had one principal customer, of whom is a
retailer, accounting for these results.
6. CONSULTING AGREEMENT
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the company issued to an investment
advisor 133,500 warrants for the purpose of providing investor awareness and
business advisory services. The services were recorded equal to the value of the
warrants and an expense of $30,488 is included in selling, general and
administrative for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the company issued 200,000 shares
of common stock for two independent contractors to seek and obtain new business
for the firm. The services were recorded equal to the value of the stock at the
date of grant and an expense of $60,000 is included in selling, general and
administrative for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued 20,000 shares of
common stock to a consultant in exchange for marketing and training services.
The services were recorded equal to the value of the shares and an expense of
$17,000 is included in selling, general and administrative for the six months
ended June 30, 2008.

referrals based on its high quality service and external financings to support
our growth. We are also expanding through hiring leading independent
salespersons who are well supported by the Ace proprietary business structure.
By offering more services and solutions to our customers, new recruits will have
the ability to expand their present business by simply making the move to Ace.
Upon integrating their client base into our system they too become trusted
advisors that provide integrated business solutions instead of a commodity based
promotional product salesperson.
These achievements position us to accelerate growth through potential
acquisition and consolidation of other companies as well as simply recruiting
experienced salespeople. In the event a company is acquired by us, of which no
assurances can be given in this regard, the new clients would all be introduced
to the additional services that are now available in our promotional marketing
model.
11
We have effectively carved out a niche for Ace. Marketing and branding
companies create an image and direction for clients. Ad agencies develop print,
TV, radio and other campaigns aimed at goals of recruiting and introducing new
products or services. Traditional promotional product companies offer imprinted
merchandise and apparel. Ace finds itself in a position of providing value added
services that compliment those of the ad agency, as well as branding and
marketing companies while at the same time far exceeding the capabilities of a
standard promotional products distributor.
We expect our revenues to grow as economic conditions in the United States
continue to improve, by adding additional in-house and independent sales
representatives to our sales network. While one or more acquisitions of other
distributors will also be considered by Management, we can provide no assurances
that one or more acquisitions of other distributors will be completed on terms
satisfactory to us, if at all.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
The preparation of financial statements require management to make estimates and
disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we
evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue
recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and
other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies
affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our
financial statements.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Revenues are recognized when title and risk of loss
transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general,
title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise.
Revenue is accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force Issue No.
99-19, reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent. Revenue is
recognized on a gross basis since our company has the risks and rewards of
ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and bears all credit
risk. Our company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as
revenues, and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred, in accordance
with Emerging Issue Task Force Issue No. 00-10, accounting for shipping and
handling fees and costs.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. We are required to make judgments based
on historical experience and future expectations, as to the realizability of our
accounts receivable. We make these assessments based on the following factors:
(a) historical experience, (b) customer concentrations, customer credit
worthiness, (d) current economic conditions, and (e) changes in customer payment
terms.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company began
recording compensation expense associated with stock options and other
equity-based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R), using the modified
prospective transition method and therefore has not restated results for prior
periods. Under the modified prospective transition method, share-based
compensation expense for 2006 includes 1) compensation expense for all
share-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006 as determined based on
the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
123(R) and 2) compensation expense for share-based compensation awards granted
prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair
value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. The
Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period of the award.
12
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------------------
On September 15, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 157, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 provides
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement
references fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction, between market
participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. The
statement applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or
liabilities to be measured at fair value. The statement does not expand the use
of fair value in any new circumstances. The Company adopted the provisions of
SFAS No. 157 related to financial assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2008.
The application of this standard did not have a material impact on the results
of operations or financial condition. The Company elected to defer adoption of
SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities and does not anticipate
that adoption in fiscal 2009 will have a material impact on the results of
operations or financial condition.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE
OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES -- INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT
OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 115. Under SFAS No. 159, a company may elect to measure
eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are
reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. If elected, SFAS No. 159
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company did
not elect to begin reporting any financial assets or liabilities at fair value
upon adoption of SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 and did not elect to report at
fair value any new financial assets or liabilities entered during the quarter
ended June 30, 2008
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141R, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141R"), which establishes principles
and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including
recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree. This statement also establishes disclosure requirements to enable
financial statement users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the
adoption of SFAS 141R will have on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an
Amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and
reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by
parties other than the parent; the amount of net income attributable to the
parent and to the noncontrolling interest; changes in a parent's ownership
interest; and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment
when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure
requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the
parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is required to
be adopted prospectively for the first annual reporting period beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the effect that the
adoption of this statement will have on its financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth certain selected unaudited condensed
statement of operations data for the periods indicated in dollars and as a
percentage of total net revenues. The following discussion relates to our
results of operations for the periods noted and is not necessarily indicative of
the results expected for any other interim period or any future fiscal year. In
addition, we note that the period-to-period comparison may not be indicative of
future performance.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 2007
------------ ------------
Revenue $2,049,867 $1,400,786
Cost of Revenue 1,578,235 960,074
------------ ------------
Gross Profit 471,632 440,712
Selling, general & Administrative expenses 663,312 580,384
------------ ------------
Loss from operations (194,680) (139,672)
============ ============
We generated revenues of $2,049,867 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to
$1,400,786 in the same three month period ending June 30, 2007. The increase in
revenues of $649,081 in 2008 compared to 2007 was for the following reason.
Through a collaborated effort with a major customer, Ace Marketing was able to
create, administer and fulfill in house a large order which benefited over 3,500
members of a police organization. The order was responsible for approximately
34.1% of the quarterly revenue. We can provide no assurances that this large
order will be recurring in future operating periods.
Cost of revenues was $1,578,235 or 77% of revenues in the second quarter of 2008
compared to $960,074 or 69% of revenues in the same three months of 2007. Cost
of revenues includes purchases and freight costs associated with the shipping of
merchandise to our customers. Increase in cost of revenues of $618,161 in 2008
is related to a increase in sales to a major customer which placed a large order
during the current quarter ending June 30, 2008.
Gross profit was $471,632 in the second quarter of 2008 or 23% of net revenues
compared to $440,712 in the same three months of 2007 or 31% of revenues. Gross
profits will vary period-to-period depending upon a number of factors including
the mix of items sold, pricing of the items and the volume of product sold.
Also, it is our practice to pass freight costs on to our customers.
Reimbursement of freight costs which are included in revenues have lower profit
margins than sales of our promotional products and has the effect of reducing
our overall gross profit margin on sales of products, particularly on smaller
orders. The second quarter gross profit was negatively impacted by reduced gross
profit achieved in connection with the large order placed by members of a police
organization
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $666,312 in the second
quarter of 2008 compared to $580,384 in the same three months of 2007. Such
costs include payroll and related expenses, commissions, insurance, rents,
professional, consulting and public awareness fees. The overall increase of
$85,928 was primarily due to a $103,100 increase in stock based compensation.
Net loss was $194,680 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to a net loss of
$139,672 for the same three months in 2007. The second quarter net loss for 2008
includes stock based payments (non-cash) of $128,683 as compared to $25,583 for
the comparable period of 2007. No benefit for income taxes is provided for in
2008 and 2007 due to the full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax
assets.

(Loss) from operations (496,674) (276,840)
============ ============
We generated revenues of $3,226,050 in the first six months of 2008 compared to
$2,683,666 in the same six month period ending June 30, 2007. The increase in
revenues of $542,384 in 2008 compared to 2007 is due to the collaborated effort
with a major customer, Ace Marketing was able to create, administer and fulfill
an in house order which benefited over 3,500 members of the organization. This
order was responsible for 21.7% of revenues for the six months ended June 30,
2008. We can provide no assurance that this large order will be recurring in
future operating periods.
Cost of revenues was $2,388,694 or 74% of revenues in the first six months of
2008 compared to $1,825,598 or 68% of revenues in the same six months of 2007.
Cost of revenues includes purchases and freight costs associated with the
shipping of merchandise to our customers. Increase in cost of revenues of
$563,096 in 2008 is related to a increase in sales to a major customer which
placed a large order during the current quarter ending June 30, 2008.
Gross profit was $837,356 in the first six months of 2008 or 26% of net revenues
compared to $858,068 in the same six months of 2007 or 32% of revenues. Gross
profits will vary period-to-period depending upon a number of factors including
the mix of items sold, pricing of the items and the volume of product sold.
Also, it is our practice to pass freight costs on to our customers.
Reimbursement of freight costs which are included in revenues have lower profit
margins than sales of our promotional products and has the effect of reducing
our overall gross profit margin on sales of products, particularly on smaller
orders. The six month gross profit was negatively impacted by reduced gross
profit achieved in connection with the large order placed by members of a police
organization.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $1,334,030 in the first six
months of 2008 compared to $1,134,908 in the same six months of 2007. Such costs
include payroll and related expenses, commissions, insurance, rents,
professional, consulting and public awareness fees. The overall increase of
$199,122 was primarily due to a $220,678 increase in stock based compensation.
Net loss from operations was $(496,674) in the first six months of 2008 compared
to a net loss of $(276,840) for the same six months in 2007. The first six
months net loss for 2008 includes stock based payments (non-cash) of $271,844 as
compared to $51,166 for the comparable period of 2007. No benefit for income
taxes is provided for in 2008 and 2007 due to the full valuation allowance on
the net deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
The company had cash and cash equivalents of $579,305 at June 30, 2008. Cash
used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was
$(239,716). This resulted primarily from a net loss of $(492,697), offset by
stock based compensation of $271,844 a decrease in accounts receivable of
$104,600 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $59,157 and a
decrease of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $68,730.
The company had cash and cash equivalents of $819,021 at December 31, 2007. Cash
used by operating activities during the six months period ended June 30, 2007
was $(311,463). This resulted primarily from a net loss of $(260,546) and an
increase in accounts receivable of $11,078, partially offset by stock based
compensation of $51,166 and an decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses
of $73,300.
Our company commenced operations in 1998 and was initially funded by our three
founders, each of whom has made demand loans to our Company that have been
repaid. Since 1999, we have relied primarily on equity financing from outside
investors to supplement our cash flow from operations.
We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to
finance our accounts receivable and inventories, hire additional sales persons,
capital expenditures and possible acquisitions. The primary sources of funding
for such requirements will be cash generated from operations, raising additional
capital from the sale of equity or other securities and borrowings under debt
facilities which currently do not exist. We believe that we can generate
sufficient cash flow from these sources to fund our operations for at least the
next fifteen months. In the event we should need additional financing, we can
provide no assurances that we will be able to obtain financing on terms
satisfactory to us, if at all.
2008 Financing
---------------
During July of 2008, the Company sold 250,000 shares of its Series A Preferred
Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. The following describes the
rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock:
o CONVERTIBILITY INTO COMMON STOCK. Each share of Preferred Stock shall
automatically convert on December 15, 2008 into shares of Common Stock
(the "Common Shares") based on a conversion price of the lower of $.50 per
share or the average closing sale price for the Company's Common Stock
on the OTC Bulletin Board for the 10 trading days immediately preceding
December 15, 2008, with a floor of $.25 per share. Each share of Preferred
Stock may at the option of the holder be converted into Common Shares prior
to December 15, 2008 based upon a price of $.50 per share.
o VOTING. The Preferred Shares shall have no voting rights until converted
into Common Shares, except as otherwise required by applicable state law.
o DIVIDENDS. The Preferred Shares shall have no dividend rights until
converted into Common Shares, except as otherwise required by applicable
state law.
o LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. The Preferred Shares shall have no liquidation
preference and shall be treated the same as a holder of Common Shares.
Exemption is claimed for the sale of the aforementioned 250,000 shares of Series
A Preferred Stock pursuant to Rule 506 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.
16
2006 Financing
--------------
In 2006, we engaged Brookshire Securities Corporation, a licensed broker-dealer
and member of the NASD, to act as Placement Agent to raise financing for our
company through the sale of our unregistered securities solely to "accredited
investors" as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.
Pursuant to the offering, we raised gross proceeds of $1,665,250 from the sale
of Units. Each Unit consisted of 60,000 shares of our Common Stock and Class C
Warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of Common Stock at an offering price of
$105,000 per Unit. We had the right to sell fractional Units, but not fractional
shares or fractional Class C Warrants. The Class C Warrants are exercisable at
$1.75 per share at anytime from the date of issuance through the earlier of June
30, 2009 or the redemption date of the Class C Warrants, whichever is earlier.
Each Class C Warrant may be redeemed by us at a redemption price of $.001 per
Warrant, on at least 30 days prior written notice (the "Redemption Date'), at
anytime after the average closing sales price of our Common Stock as reported in
the Over-the-Counter Market OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, NASDAQ or if listed
on a national securities exchange, equals or exceeds $3.00 per share for a
period of 20 consecutive trading days ending within 10 days prior to the date of
the notice of redemption is mailed or otherwise delivered by us to each holder
of Class C Warrants.
We sold 951,575 shares of our Common Stock and Class C Warrants to purchase
475,788 shares of our Common Stock in the offering. On December 21, 2006 and
December 17, 2007, we obtained an effective registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to register the resale of 951,575 shares of
Common Stock and 475,588 shares underlying the Class C Warrants. We also issued
to the Placement Agent 139,680 shares of Common Stock and five-year Warrants to
purchase 95,160 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $1.00 per share. Exemption
from registration is claimed under Rule 506 of Regulation d promulgated under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and
prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity
prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated
with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any
financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does
not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other
investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any
credit facilities with variable interest rates.
17
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our CEO and CFO, an evaluation was performed on the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our
management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this
report.
There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial
reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially
affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.
At December 31, 2007, management identified the following significant
deficiencies that when aggregated give rise to a material weakness in the area
of financial reporting.
These deficiencies include a) lack of review or evidence of review in the
financial Reporting process; b) the inability to account for complex equity
transaction; c) various manual processes and dual databases creating need for
extensive number of journal entries; and d) inability to apply complex
accounting principles. Management is presently assessing these deficiencies and
as of June 30, 2008 It had not remediated the identified deficiencies.
