Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On
December 29, 2005, Omni U.S.A., Inc., a Nevada corporation (“we”
or
“Omni”),
our
wholly-owned subsidiary Omni Merger Sub, Inc., a Michigan corporation
(“Merger
Sub”),
Jeffrey Daniel and Edward Daniel entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the “Merger
Agreement”)
with
Brendan Technologies, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Brendan”),
pursuant to which Merger Sub was merged with and into Brendan and Brendan became
the surviving corporation in the merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omni
(the “Merger”).
Brendan continued its corporate existence under the laws of the State of
Michigan. The terms of the Merger were negotiated on an arm’s length basis
between Omni and Brendan.
Concurrently
with the merger, 4,754,709
shares
of
Brendan common stock outstanding immediately before the Merger were converted
into 19,018,836
shares
of
Omni common stock, a four for one ratio. Also concurrently with the merger,
(i)
4,679,053
shares
of
Omni common stock were issued to the holders of Brendan Senior and Bridge Notes
totaling $2,853,085
in
aggregate principal and interest, a conversion rate of 1.64 shares per $1.00
under such debt; (ii) 250,000
shares
of
Omni common stock were issued to another Brendan note holder in exchange for
a
note with a principal balance of $125,000;
and
(iii) 900,000 shares of Omni common stock was issued to a consultant and as
payment for outstanding indebtedness.
Common
stock options and warrants exercisable into 973,500
shares
of
Brendan before the Merger are non exercisable for 3,894,000
common
shares of Omni. The exercise price of the Omni stock options and warrants will
be 25% of the exercise price of the Brendan stock options and
warrants.
At
the
effective time of the merger, Omni appointed John Dunn II, Lowell Giffhorn,
Theo
Vermaelen and Steven Eisold to the Omni Board of Directors, and Jeffrey Daniel,
Craig Daniel, Kevin Guan and Didi Duan resigned from the Omni Board of
Directors. In addition, John Dunn II was appointed Chairman of the Board,
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technical Officer; Lowell Giffhorn
was appointed Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and George Dunn was
appointed Vice President, Secretary and Chief Operating Officer of Omni. Jeffrey
Daniel and Craig Daniel resigned from their positions as officers of
Omni.
Concurrent
with entering into the Merger Agreement, on December 29, 2005, we entered into
a
Stock Purchase Agreement (“Stock
Purchase Agreement”)
with
Jeffrey K. Daniel, Craig L. Daniel and Edward Daniel (the “Daniels”)
pursuant to which we sold to the Daniels all of the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock (the “Subsidiary
Shares”)of
Omni
U.S.A., Inc., a Washington corporation (“Omni-Washington”)
and
Butler Products Corporation (“Butler”),
each
of which was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary, in exchange for a three-year
promissory note due on December 29, 2008 in the amount of $672,000 (the
“Promissory
Note”).
The
company has assigned the Promissory Note to third parties for an aggregate
amount of $400,000.
Prior
to
the transactions effected by the Stock Purchase Agreement and Merger Agreement,
Omni-Washington and Butler constituted substantially all of our operations.
Following the transactions effected by the Merger Agreement and the Stock
Purchase Agreement, Brendan is now our sole wholly-owned subsidiary, and we
conduct all our operations through Brendan.
The
sale
of the Subsidiary Shares occurred immediately after the Merger. The terms
thereof were negotiated on an arm’s length basis between the Daniels and the
Brendan representatives.
DESCRIPTION
OF THE BUSINESS
Business
Overview
Brendan
was formed on November 1, 1997, under the laws of the State of Michigan as
Brendan Technologies, Inc., and does business as Brendan Scientific Corporation.
Through Brendan we design, develop and market computational analytical software
products for the laboratory testing industry. Brendan’s laboratory workflow and
analysis software platform manages the raw, computed and analytical data in
testing laboratories and in manufacturing.
Brendan
evolved from the initial work of its founder John R. Dunn II, Ph.D., now our
Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technical Officer.
Brendan’s first commercialized product is StatLIA®, a software designed
specifically for immunoassay testing. Since Dr. Dunn’s early work on StatLIA®
over nine years ago, StatLIA® has been developed with software engineers,
mathematicians and laboratory professionals who specialize in laboratory
testing. Over the past five years, StatLIA® has been used in laboratories,
undergoing revisions and additions to further develop the product.
StatLIA®
Immunoassays,
one of the world’s largest and fastest growing testing technologies, is used to
test for metabolites found in AIDS, hepatitis, cancer, environmental pollutants,
side effects of new drugs and thousands of other biological and environmental
substances. Immunoassays are a broadly applicable technology allowing low cost,
rapid analysis through high throughput testing. Immunoassays are used
extensively in pharmaceutical, hospital, clinical reference, academic and
industrial research, environmental, agricultural, food processing and
veterinarian laboratories throughout the world.
StatLIA®
uses comprehensive statistics to directly or indirectly analyze the performance
of each of the nine immunoassay components (label, tracer, antibody, buffer,
incubation, separation, standards, controls and unknowns). StatLIA® stores a
fixed set of stable reference assays which are statistically compared to a
single assay or multiple assays to detect changes in reagents or incubation
conditions. With a reference set of at least two assays, standard curve and
control specimen parameters in today’s assay are statistically compared to the
same parameter in the reference assays to identify any statistically significant
differences.
StatLIA®
is intended to address the following:
· Insufficient
Quality
- Error
rates in Immunoassay testing is estimated to be as high as 4%. Testing errors
and the inability to directly locate error sources is costly and time consuming.
We believe that StatLIA® will reduce the error rates and enhance the tester’s
ability to locate the error source.
· Lack
of Automation
-
Immunoassay testing is very labor intensive due to many manual steps in the
processing, tracking and analysis of the data produced. With high throughput
testing becoming the industry norm, the data needs to be managed with even
greater efficiency. We believe that StatLIA® will reduce such labor costs.
· Regulatory
Compliance
-
Federal regulations are placing increasing demands for compliance with the
Food
and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”)
quality assurance regulations. We believe that StatLIA® will meet the growing
need for automated software that can assist laboratories in complying with
the
regulation.
· Need
for Better Data Management
-
Improved technologies have allowed greater automation in Immunoassay testing,
increasing throughput volumes but requiring better connectivity and
standardization for the management of the data generated. We believe that
StatLIA® will address the need for greater connectivity and
standardization.
Brendan
first targeted the immunoassay market with StatLIA® because it is a fragmented
and large market that may allow Brendan to sell its software to testing
equipment distributors and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”),
and
earn a share of business from large organizations.
Users
of
StatLIA® include device and reagent manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies,
clinical diagnostic centers and government testing laboratories. Distributors
of
StatLIA® include device and reagent manufacturers and their distributors, as
well as Brendan’s direct sales force.
Customer
Base
Brendan
has used most of its capital to date in the development of StatLIA® and the
expansion of the program to encompass all of the differing immunoassay
technologies and workflow configurations found in research and clinical
laboratories. Existing customers who have used StatLIA® in laboratories
include several large pharmaceutical companies, clinical diagnostic
organizations, reagent manufacturers and research entities. This client base
also serves as a source of revenue for additional instruments and workstations,
and support and maintenance renewal fees.
Many
of
our institutional clients operate under rigorous FDA regulations, or the
European equivalent, and the FDA requires that new software products be
validated.
Strategy
Industry
Analysis
Using
data obtained from Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Global Industry Analysts, and
other published industry and marketing reports, and instrument manufacturer
sales figures, we estimate this market to represent over $1 billion in
revenue and does not include the food processing, agricultural, veterinarian,
or
the rapidly expanding environmental immunoassay markets. This also does not
include software applications for other technologies. According to the Health
Industry Manufacturer’s Association, more than $50 billion in medical devices,
diagnostic products and health information systems are currently purchased
annually in the United States and more than $120 billion worldwide. This
represents only the clinical market segment and not pharmaceutical, research,
environmental and other segments.
Conventional
laboratory software falls into two primary areas: laboratory management or
instrumentation. Laboratory management software handles billing, report
generation, and other administrative tasks. The software is not designed for
complex technical computation. Software for the testing instruments operate
as
dedicated systems and is basically designed only to generate results. It is
not
designed for the complete statistical analysis and data management and record
keeping requirements for pharmaceutical, clinical or research labs, nor is
it
designed to exist in a cooperative environment with other immunoassay
instruments.
StatLIA®
was introduced to meet this need, which we believe no other commercial software
available meets. By using StatLIA® for their assay validation and documentation
as well as standardizing on it as one uniform system throughout their
organization, pharmaceutical companies may save substantial time and resources
supplying the necessary documentation to get new drugs to market and clinical
laboratories may increase productivity and reliability while reducing costs.
Market
We
believe that through Brendan we have the opportunity to introduce a product
to
serve an under-served niche market: the software used in biomedical and
non-biomedical testing laboratories. The testing industry generates more than
$100 billion in revenues each year to run tests for drug development, medical
diagnostics and treatments, water and soil samples, infectious disease research,
food contaminants, and numerous other health and industry-critical applications.
Brendan
has focused on the analytical segment of the market. This is the computation,
storage and analysis of the raw signal data generated by a testing instrument.
However, the majority of the software used to analyze these tests is a part
of
the instrument software that is provided by the instrument manufacturer. These
routines do not provide all of the capabilities and are not as extensive as
the
data currently computed by StatLIA®.
StatLIA®
allows laboratories to interface all of their immunoassay testing instruments
into one uniform system. As one system, as compared to the more common system
using several isolated testing instruments, the StatLIA® system can be easily
interfaced to Brendan’s main database for reporting patient results and
recording clinical trial data, among other processes. The system also integrates
into a laboratory’s network, so that multiple computers can be used to prepare,
compute, analyze and report all assay data, thereby increasing workflow.
StatLIA®’s superior quality control process not only determines the accuracy of
the test more reliably than the software currently available, but also pinpoints
the specific cause of a problem in a bad test, dramatically reducing laboratory
downtime and reagent costs.
Competition
Almost
all immunoassay software is produced and sold by manufacturers bundled with
their instruments. These programs are included to stimulate sales of their
instruments and are not usually marketed as stand-alone products.
Conventional laboratory software falls into two primary areas: laboratory
management or instrumentation functionality. Laboratory management software
handles billing, report generation and other administrative tasks. The software
is not designed for complex technical computation. On the other hand, software
for testing instruments operates as a dedicated system and is designed primarily
to generate testing data. This software has limitations meeting the complete
statistical analysis, data management, data utilization and record keeping
demands of pharmaceutical, clinical or research labs, nor is it designed to
exist in a cooperative environment with other testing instruments.
Prior
to
Brendan, we believe that no company has focused as extensively on the gap
between instrument operational software and administrative LIM software. Brendan
has worked with several industry-leading labs to develop StatLIA® and we believe
that StatLIA® is a unique software product that surpasses any software currently
available for this market.
To
date,
the majority of StatLIA® sales have been replacing existing OEM software on
testing equipment. This software, bundled with the instruments, is Brendan’s
current main competition.
Existing
equipment-specific software include Softmax, used for Molecular Device’s
microplate readers and KC4 used for BioTek Instrument’s microplate readers. We
believe instrument manufacturers are excellent prospects for distribution
agreements to incorporate or bundle our software with their
instruments.
Employees
Brendan
currently has eight full time employees, one contract programmer, and three
part time employees. Brendan has entered Employment Agreements with certain
of
its employees.
In
November 2004, we entered into an employment agreement with our Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, John Dunn II, which expires on November
1, 2011. The employment agreement provides for an annual salary of $108,000.
The
agreement also provides that we may terminate the agreement with 30 days written
notice if termination is without cause. Our obligation would be to pay Dr.
Dunn
monthly payments equal to his base salary for 24 months. In addition, all of
Dr.
Dunn’s options would immediately vest. The agreement also provides that Dr. Dunn
can terminate employment if we merge with or consolidates with another entity,
or we are subject in any way to a transfer of a substantial amount of our
assets, resulting in the assets, business or operations of ours being controlled
by an entity or individual other than Brendan.
In
November 2004, we entered into an employment agreement with our Vice President
of Marketing and Chief Operating Officer, George Dunn, which expires on November
1, 2011. The employment agreement provides for an annual salary of $96,000.
The
agreement also provides that we may terminate the agreement with 30 days written
notice if termination is without cause. Our obligation would be to pay Mr.
Dunn
monthly payments equal to his base salary for 24 months. In addition, all of
Mr.
Dunn’s options would immediately vest. The agreement also provides that Mr. Dunn
can terminate employment if we merge with or consolidates with another entity,

4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On
December 29, 2005, Omni completed the acquisition of all of the capital stock
of
Brendan pursuant to the Merger Agreement and completed the disposition of all
of
the capital assets of Omni-Washington and Butler pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement. On December 29, 2005, Omni provided notice to Harper & Pearson
Company (“Harper
& Pearson”)
that
they would no longer be retained as Omni’s independent registered accounting
firm. Harper & Pearson’s reports on the consolidated financial statements of
Omni and its subsidiaries for the two most recent fiscal years ended June 30,
2005, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were
they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles.
On
December 29, 2005, the Board of Directors of Omni elected to engage Farber
&
Hass LLP (“Farber
& Hass”)
to
serve as Omni’s independent registered accounting firm.
During
the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and the
subsequent interim period through December 29, 2005, there were no disagreements
between Omni and Harper & Pearson on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which
disagreements, if not resolved to Harper & Pearson's satisfaction, would
have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement
in
their reports on the financial statements for such years.
Omni
has
authorized Harper & Pearson to respond fully to the inquiries of Farber
& Hass concerning the subject matter of the reportable event and has
provided Harper & Pearson with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached
as Exhibit 99.3 is a copy of Harper & Pearson's letter, dated January 4,
2006, stating its agreement with the statements related to it.
During
Omni's two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2005, and the subsequent
interim period through December 29, 2005, Omni did not consult Farber & Hass
with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specific
transaction, either completed or contemplated, or the type of audit opinion
that
might be rendered on Omni’s consolidated financial statements, or any other
matters of reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of
Regulation S-B.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Shareholder
Brendan
Technologies, Inc.
Carlsbad,
California
We
have audited the balance sheets of Brendan Technologies, Inc. as of December
31,
2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, shareholder's deficit,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing 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. An audit includes examining,
on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes 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 provided a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all
material respects, the financial position of Brendan Technologies, Inc. as
of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows
for each of the two years ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements, during the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company incurred
a net
loss of $901,423, had negative cash flows from operations of $340,444 and
had an
accumulated deficit of $5,231,544. In addition, the Company is in default
with
unsecured notes payable and the related accrued interest. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note
2. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the
outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2004
NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS
General
Brendan
Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on October 30, 1997
in the
state of Michigan. The Company develops and markets scientific computer
software
for applications in the pharmaceutical/biotechnical research, clinical
diagnostic, environmental, and other life and physical science markets.
NOTE
2 - GOING CONCERN
These
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However,
during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred
net loss
of $901,421 and $846,042, respectively, and had accumulated deficit of
$5,231,544 and $4,330,121, at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
In
addition, the Company is in default with unsecured notes payable and the
related
accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $2,645,905 at of December 31,
2004.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon
its
ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain
the
necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising
from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these
matters
cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. Since inception, the
Company has satisfied its capital needs by borrowing capital.
Management
plans to continue to provide for its capital needs during the year ended

of its
products with minimal borrowings. In addition, the Company’s capital
requirements during the year ended December 31, 2004 are expected to be
supplemented by issuing equity securities and converting its notes payable
into
common stock (see Note 6). These financial statements do not include any
adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities
that may
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenues related to software licenses and software
maintenance in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants ("AICPA") Statements of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2, "Software Revenue
Recognition," as amended by SOP No. 94-4 and SOP No. 98-9. The Company’s
software is sold with an indefinite license period, and as such, product
revenue
is recorded at the time of shipment, net of estimated allowances and returns.
Post-contract customer support ("PCS") obligations are for annual services
and
are recognized over the period of service. Revenues for which payment has
been
received are treated as deferred revenue until services are provided and
revenues have been earned. The Company provides, for a fee, additional
training
and service calls to its customers and recognizes revenue at the time the
training or service call is provided.

Trade
Accounts Receivable
The
Company provides for the possible inability to collect accounts receivable
by
recording an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company writes off an
account
when it is considered to be uncollectible.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation
and
amortization using the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated
useful lives of the principal classes of property of three years.
Stock-Based
Compensation
SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as amended by SFAS
No. 148,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure,” defines a
fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. However,
SFAS No. 123 allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost
related
to stock and stock options issued to employees using the intrinsic method
of
accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.
25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities electing to remain
with the
accounting method of APB Opinion No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures
of net
income and earnings per share as if the fair value method of accounting
defined
in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to account for
its
stock-based compensation to employees under APB Opinion No. 25 using the
intrinsic value method.
The
Company has adopted only the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. Accordingly,
no compensation cost other than that required to be recognized by APB 25
for the
difference between the fair value of the Company's common stock at the
grant
date and the exercise price of the options has been recognized. Had compensation
cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based on the fair
value
at the grant date for awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS No.
123, the
Company's net loss and basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended
December 31, 2004 would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated

For
purposes of computing the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123,
the
fair value of each option granted to employees and directors is estimated
using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2004: dividend yield of 0%;
expected
volatility of 0%; risk-free interest rate of 2.76%; and expected life of
three
years. The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year
ended
December 31, 2004 for which the exercise price equals the market price
on the
grant date was $3, and the weighted-average exercise price was $3. No stock
options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2004 for which
the
exercise price was less than or greater than the market prices on the grant
date.
Loss
per Share
The
Company utilizes SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic loss per share
is
computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per
share is
computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is
increased to include the number of additional common shares that would
have been
outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional
common shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from
the
computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, notes
receivable, accounts payable, and accrued wages. The book value of all
other
financial instruments is representative of their fair values.
Research
and Development
Research
and Development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Such costs
were
included in the total operating expenses for the years ended December 31,
2004
and 2003 that amounted to $805,340 and $873,543, respectively.
Income
Taxes
The
Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires
the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements
or
tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for
the tax
consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets
and
liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based
on
enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which
the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances
are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized.
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements 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 revenue and expenses during the
reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk are primarily
cash and accounts receivable. The Company deposits its cash with what it
considers high-credit, quality financial institutions. At times, balances
are in
excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. As of
December 31, 2004, the Company did not have any uninsured cash. Credit
risk
concentration with respect to receivables is limited due to the geographic
dispersion of the Company's customer base. The Company conducts ongoing
credit
evaluations but does not obtain collateral or other forms of security.
The
Company believes its credit policies do not result in significant adverse
risk
and historically has not experienced significant credit-related losses.
The
Company provides credit to its customers primarily in the United States
in the
normal course of business. During the year ended December 31, 2004, one
customer
represented approximately 39% of total sales. During the year ended December
31,
2003, two customers accounted for 19% and 17% of total sales.
At
December 31, 2004, two customers accounted for 27%, and 12% of accounts
receivable. .At December 31, 2003, three customers accounted for 32%, 29%,
and
17% of accounts receivable. The Company does not obtain collateral with
which to
secure its accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses based
upon
the Company's historical experience related to credit losses and any unusual
circumstances that may affect the ability of its customers to meet their
obligations.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs”. SFAS No. 151
amends the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) under the guidance in ARB
No. 43,
Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing”. Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, previously
stated that ". . . under some circumstances, items such as idle facility
expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and re-handling costs may
be so
abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges " This Statement
requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless
of
whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal." In addition, this Statement
requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of
conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.
This
statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS
No.
151 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate
TimeSharing Transactions”. The FASB issued this Statement as a result of the
guidance provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, ”Accounting for
Real Estate TimeSharing Transactions”. SOP 04-2 applies to all real estate
time-sharing transactions.

Among
other items, the SOP provides guidance on the recording of credit losses
and the
treatment of selling costs, but does not change the revenue recognition
guidance
in SFAS No. 66, ”Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”, for real estate
time-sharing transactions. SFAS No. 152 amends Statement No. 66 to reference
the
guidance provided in SOP 04-2. SFAS No. 152 also amends SFAS No. 67, “Accounting
for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects”, to state that
SOP 04-2 provides the relevant guidance on accounting for incidental operations
and costs related to the sale of real estate time-sharing transactions.
SFAS No.
152 is effective for years beginning after June 15, 2005, with restatements
of
previously issued financial statements prohibited. This statement is not
applicable to the Company.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, ”Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,”
an amendment to Opinion No. 29, ”Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”.
Statement No. 153 eliminates certain differences in the guidance in Opinion
No.
29 as compared to the guidance contained in standards issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board. The amendment to Opinion No.
29
eliminates the fair value exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar
productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges
of
nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Such an exchange
has
commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected
to
change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective
for
nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in periods beginning after June 15,
2005.
Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring
in
periods beginning after December 16, 2004. Management does not expect adoption
of SFAS No. 153 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS
123(R) amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and APB
Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No.123(R) requires
that the cost of share-based payment transactions (including those with
employees and non-employees) be recognized in the financial statements.
SFAS No.
123(R) applies to all share-based payment transactions in which an entity
acquires goods or services by issuing (or offering to issue) its shares,
share
options, or other equity instruments (except for those held by an ESOP)
or by
incurring liabilities (1) in amounts based (even in part) on the price

In
March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 47, “Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations”. FIN No. 47 clarifies that the term
conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143,
“Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to
perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method
of
settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within
the
control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity
is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or)
method
of settlement. Uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement
of a
conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement
of the liability when sufficient information exists. This interpretation
also
clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably
estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. Fin No. 47 is
effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15,
2005
(December 31, 2005 for calendar-year companies). Retrospective application
of
interim financial information is permitted but is not required. Management
does
not expect adoption of FIN No. 47 to have a material impact on the Company’s
financial statements.
In
May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.

“Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” an amendment to Accounting Principles
Bulletin (APB) Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements” though SFAS No. 154 carries
forward the guidance in APB No. 20 and SFAS No. 3 with respect to accounting
for
changes in estimates, changes in reporting entity, and the correction of
errors.
SFAS No. 154 establishes new standards on accounting for changes in accounting
principles, whereby all such changes must be accounted for by retrospective
application to the financial statements of prior periods unless it is
impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes
and
error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005,

early adoption permitted for changes and corrections made in years beginning

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2004
NOTE
9 - INCOME TAXES (Continued)
As
of December 31, 2004, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards
for
federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $4,628,789 and
$2,354,081, respectively, which expire from 2012 through 2024.
The
net operating loss carry-forwards are the only significant deferred income
tax
assets of the Company. They have been offset by a valuation allowance since
management does not believe the recoverability of this deferred tax assets
during the next fiscal year is more likely than not. Accordingly, a deferred
income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2004 has not been recognized
in these financial statements.
NOTE
10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Sale
of Stock
Subsequent
to December 31, 2004, the Company issued 75,833 shares of common stock
at $3 per
share to a group of five investors.
Letters
of Intent
During
2003, the Company had initial discussions with a public company regarding
a
possible reverse merger. Subject to the finalization of these negotiations,
the
public company will exchange with the shareholders of the Company newly
issued
shares of the public company’s common stock for all of the outstanding
securities of the Company.
The
Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the public company. In
connection with this transaction, the Company will convert its convertible
notes
payable into common stock at an exchange of 1.64 shares of common stock
for each
dollar of principal and interest outstanding. The holders of the notes
will
receive approximately 4,000,000 shares of common stock in the new company.
In
addition, prior to the reverse merger, the Company will effect a 4-to-1
forward
split of its common stock. At the closing, the public company will issue
to the
shareholders of the Company approximately 24,000,000 shares of common stock,
which will represent 92% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
the
public company. The shareholders of the public company will retain the
remaining
8% of the Company, or approximately 2,000,000 shares.
