OVERVIEW

Corporate Operations

The common stock of New Century Companies, Inc. ("New Century" or the "Company")  is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "NCNC.OB".

The Company is engaged in acquiring, re-manufacturing and selling pre-owned Computer Numerically Controlled ("CNC") machine tools to manufacturing customers. The Company provides rebuilt, retrofit and remanufacturing services for numerous brands of machine tools. The remanufacturing of a machine tool, typically consisting of replacing all components, realigning the machine, adding updated CNC capability and electrical and mechanical enhancements, generally takes two to four months to complete. Once completed, a remanufactured machine is a "like new," state-of-the-art machine with a price ranging from $275,000 to $1,000,000, which is approximately 40%-50% of the price of a new machine. The Company also manufactures original equipment CNC large turning lathes and attachments under the trade name Century Turn.

CNC machines use commands from onboard computers to control the movements of cutting tools and rotation speeds of the parts being produced. Computer controls enable operators to program operations such as part rotation, tooling selection and tooling movement for specific parts and then store the programs in memory for future use. The machines are able to produce parts while left unattended. Because of this ability, as well as superior speed of operation, a CNC machine is able to produce the same amount of work as several manually controlled machines, as well as reduce the number of operators required; generating higher profits with less re-work and scrap. Since the introduction of CNC tooling machines, continual advances in computer control technology have allowed for easier programming and additional machine capabilities.

A vertical turning machine permits the production of larger, heavier and more oddly shaped parts on a machine, which uses less floor space when compared to the traditional horizontal turning machine because the spindle and cam are aligned on a vertical plane, with the spindle on the bottom.

The primary industry segments in which NCR machines are utilized to make component parts are in aerospace, power generation turbines, military, component parts for the energy sector for natural gas and oil exploration and medical fields. The Company sells its products to customers in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Over the last four years, the Company has designed and developed a large horizontal CNC turning lathe with productivity features new to the metalworking industry. The Company has applied for a patent for the Century Turn Lathe. The Company believes that a potential market for the Century Turn Lathe, in addition to the markets mentioned above, is aircraft landing gear.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

We provide our manufactured and remanufactured machines as part of the machine tool industry. The machine tool industry worldwide is approximately a 30 billion dollar business annually. The industry is sensitive to market conditions and generally trends downward prior to poor economic conditions, and improves prior to an improvement in economic conditions.

Our machines are utilized in a wide variety of industry segments as follows: aerospace, energy, valves, fittings, oil and gas, machinery and equipment, and transportation. With the recent downturn in the aerospace industry, we have seen an increase in orders from new industries such as defense and medical industries.

CUSTOMERS

Each year we have approximately 50% new customers and 50% repeat customers. The Company has on average between 14 and 30 machines under contract. In 2008, the Company had 19 customers and in 2007 had 20 customers.

SUPPLIERS

Our three largest suppliers are GE Fanuc Automation, Bearings and Drives and Sandvik Coromant.

MARKETING

We market our CNC turning lathes primarily through direct sales and independent representatives throughout the United States. We also market our lathes through advertising in industrial trade publications. We have recently engaged the services of three independent sales representatives who have had a key impact on the amount of direct sales.

We market our CNC vertical boring mills by advertising in regional and national trade publications and distribute product literature explaining the differences between used and remanufactured machinery.

BUSINESS STRATEGY AND MARKET DEVELOPMENT

Our business strategy is to capitalize on the opportunities for growth in our core businesses by increasing our penetration of existing markets and expanding into new markets by introducing new products and services.

SEASONALITY

Our business is subject to certain seasonal fluctuations in sales, with a pattern of net sales being lower in the second fiscal quarter, due to plant closings in the summer months and vacations. The market for machine tools is also sensitive to economic conditions, production capacity utilization and the general level of business confidence.

COMPETITION

The market for remanufacturing services for the machine tools is competitive, with competition from numerous independent rebuild suppliers with various sales and resource levels. We believe that we have a partial competitive advantage because we employ skilled personnel who have been trained for and have experience with these products. Principal competitive factors for our products and services are proprietary technology, customer service, technical support, delivery and price.

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS

Our products are manufactured from various raw materials, including cast iron, sheet metal, bar steel and bearings. Although our operations are highly integrated, we purchase a number of components from outside suppliers, including the computer and electronic components for our CNC turning lathes. There are multiple suppliers for virtually all of our raw material and components and we have not experienced a supply interruption.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Our ongoing research and development program involves creating new products and modifying existing products to meet market demands and redesigning existing products to reduce the cost of manufacturing..  In the last year we did not incur any cost of research and development.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

The Company does not have any patents pending or  patents granted.  However, the Company's business generally is not dependent upon the protection of any patent, patent application or patent license agreement, or group thereof, and would not be materially affected by the expiration thereof.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2008, we had 29 full-time employees. The Company believes its relationships with its employees are good. The Company's employees are not represented by a collective bargaining organization and the Company has not experienced a work stoppage.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The industry in which we compete is subject to environmental laws and regulations concerning emissions to the air, discharges to waterways, and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials. These laws and regulations are constantly evolving and we cannot predict accurately the effect they will have on our business in the future. It is our policy to comply with all applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. In many instances, the regulations have not been finalized. Even where regulations have been adopted, they are subject to varying and conflicting interpretations and implementation. In some cases, compliance can only be achieved by capital expenditures. We cannot accurately predict what capital expenditures, if any, may be required. We believe that our operations are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations relating to environmental matters.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

The Company files annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and proxy and information statements and amendments to reports files or furnished pursuant to Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Security Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The public may read and copy this materials at the SEC`s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth St. NW, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains a website (HTTP://WWW.SEC.GOV) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding the Company and other companies that file materials with the SEC electronically.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Operating Results Fluctuate

The Company’s results of operations for any quarter or year are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods. New Century’s future operating results may be affected by various trends and factors that must be managed in order to achieve favorable operating results. The inability to forecast these trends and factors could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition. The Company’s operating results have historically been and are expected to continue to be subject to quarterly and yearly fluctuations as a result of a number of factors. These factors include:

adverse changes in the conditions in the specific markets for its products;

visibility to, and the actual size and timing of, capital expenditures by its customers;

inventory practices, including the timing of deployment, of its customers;

adverse changes in the public and private equity and debt markets and the ability of its customers and suppliers to obtain financing or to fund capital expenditures;

adverse changes in the credit ratings of its customers and suppliers;

 
5

 

a general downturn in the overall economy;

a decline in government defense funding that lowers the demand for defense equipment and retrofitting;

competitive pricing and availability of competitive products; and

adverse changes in the ability of the company to obtain financing or to fund capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions or growth.

As a consequence, operating results for a particular period are difficult to predict. Any of the above factors could have a material adverse effect on New Century’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Reliance on External Financing to Meet Cash Requirements

The Company will continue to rely upon external financing sources to meet the cash requirement of its ongoing operations. New Century is currently seeking additional capital in the form of equity or debt, or a combination thereof. However, there is no guarantee that it will raise sufficient capital to execute its business plan. To the extent that the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital, its business plan will require substantial modification and its operations curtailed. These conditions raise substantial doubt about New Century’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing as may be required.

Volatile Share Price and Thinly Traded Stock

The Company’s Common Stock has experienced, and may continue to experience, substantial price volatility, particularly as a result of variations between its actual or anticipated financial results and the published expectations of analysts and as a result of announcements by its competitors and itself. The Company’s  stock is thinly traded, and its price can change dramatically over short periods, even in a single day. Any investment in the stock is subject to such volatility and, consequently, is subject to significant risk. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price fluctuations that have affected the market price of many companies and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. A major decline in the capital markets generally, or in the market price of New Century’s securities may negatively impact its ability to make future strategic acquisitions, raise capital, issue debt, or retain employees. These factors, as well as general economic and political conditions, may in turn have a material adverse effect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.

Because the common stock is not quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market or Nasdaq Capital Market or listed on any other national securities exchange, if the trading price of the common stock remains below $5.00 per share, trading in the common stock will be subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally defined as an investor with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with a spouse). For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the common stock and the ability of holders of the common stock to sell their shares.

Convertible Debentures

The Company has issued $3,700,000 principal amount of convertible debentures to one hedge fund. These debentures mature in August 2010. As of December 31, 2008, the Company does not have the cash available to pay the principal at maturity. If the Company cannot raise the necessary cash, the convertible debentures will be in default, which will have a material adverse affect on the Company. Further, the convertible debentures are convertible into 52,857,000 shares of common stock, which would give the hedge fund approximately 78% of the Company’s common stock, if presently converted. This is a substantial potential dilution to the existing shareholders. There is a contractual conversion limitation in that  the holders of the debentures  may not convert any portion of its debentures if, as a result thereof, the holders would own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. However, this provision can be waived by the note holders with 60 days notice and therefore it is within the rights of the holders to own in excess of 4.99%.
Seasonality

The Company’s business is subject to certain seasonal fluctuations in sales, with a pattern of net sales being lower in the second fiscal quarter, due to plant closings in the summer months and vacations. The market for machine tools is also sensitive to economic conditions, production capacity utilization and the general level of business confidence.

Competition

The market for remanufacturing services for the machine tools is competitive with competition from numerous independent rebuild suppliers with various sales and resource levels. The Company believes it possesses a partial competitive advantage in that it employs skilled personnel who have been trained for and have experience with these products. Principal competitive factors for the Company’s products and services are proprietary technology, customer service, technical support, delivery, and price.

Product Liability And Warranty Claims

We may be exposed to product liability and warranty claims in the event that the use of our products results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury and/or property damage or our products actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected. While we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain product liability claims, we may not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, and any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against product liability claims. In addition, product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods of time, regardless of the ultimate outcome. An unsuccessful defense of a product liability claim could have an adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and cash flows. Even if we are successful in defending against a claim relating to our products, claims of this nature could cause our customers to lose confidence in our products and our company. Warranty claims are not covered by insurance, and we may incur significant warranty costs in the future for which we would not be reimbursed.

Key Personnel

Our ability to operate our businesses and implement our strategies depends, in part, on the efforts of our executive officers and other key employees, particularly Messrs Duquette and Czikmantory. In addition, our future success will depend on, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, particularly research professionals, technical sales professionals and engineers. The loss of the services of any key employee or the failure to attract or retain other qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business or business prospects.

Compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002

The Company is obligated to maintain its periodic public filings and public reporting requirements, on a timely basis, under the Rules and Regulations of the SEC. In order to meet these obligations, the Company will need to continue to raise capital. If adequate funds are not available to the Company, it will be unable to comply with those requirements and could cease to be qualified to have its stock traded in the public market. As a public company, the Company incurs significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules adopted by the SEC, has imposed substantial requirements on public companies, including certain corporate governance practices and requirements relating to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These rules and regulations have and will increase the legal and financial compliance costs and have and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

 
7

 

The SEC requires that the Company evaluate, document and test its internal control procedures under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules of the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2008. Effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important in helping prevent financial fraud generally. If the Company is unable to achieve and maintain adequate disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls, the business and operating results could be harmed.

Issuance of Common Stock For Services

Issuance Of Stock For Services Valued Based On The Stock Market Price Of The Shares At The Contract Date

In June 2008, the Company entered into a three month contract with a third party for public and financial communication services valued at $18,000. The fee was paid in the form of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and valued based on the stock market price of the shares at the contract date. The value of the common stock on the date of the transaction was recorded as a deferred charge and was amortized to operating expense over the life of the agreement. The consulting fees under this contract were amortized to expense during the year.

In March 2008, the Company entered into a one month contract with a third party for public and financial communication services valued at $25,000. The fee was paid in the form of 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and valued based on the stock market price of the shares at the contract date. The value of the common stock on the date of the transaction was recorded as a deferred charge and was amortized to operating expense over the life of the agreement. The consulting fees under this contract were amortized to expense during the year.

In February 2008, the Company entered into a one year contract with a third party for public and financial communication services valued at $20,000. The fee was paid in the form of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and valued based on the stock market price of the shares at the contract date. The value of the common stock on the date of the transaction was recorded as a deferred charge and was amortized to operating expense over the life of the agreement. The consulting fees under this contract were amortized to expense during the year.
 
In February 2008, the Company entered into a three month contract with a third party for corporate consulting and marketing services valued at $30,000. The fee was paid in the form of 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and valued based on the stock market price of the shares at the contract date. The value of the common stock on the date of the transaction was recorded as a deferred charge and is amortized to operating expense over the life of the agreement. At December 31, 2008, the remaining deferred consulting fees under this contract totaled $2,500.

STOCK OPTIONS

Under the terms of the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan ("ISOP"), options to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued to key employees, as defined. The exercise price of any option may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. No options granted may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant.

On October 8, 2008, the Company granted 1,300,000 incentive stock options to its key employees under the Company’s ISOP. 800,000 of the options have an exercise price of $0.075, vest 50% on December 31, 2008, and 50% on April 8, 2009, and expire on April 6, 2010. 500,000 of the options have an exercise price of $0.0825, vest 50% on December 31, 2008 and 50% on April 8, 2009 and expire on April 6, 2010.

SFAS No. 123-R requires employee stock options and rights to purchase shares under stock participation plans to be accounted for under the fair value method and requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award. The exercise price of options is generally equal to the market price of the Company's common stock (defined as the closing price as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board administered by Nasdaq) on the date of grant.

All forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K are qualified in their entirety by this statement.

OVERVIEW

New Century Companies incurred a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. This was a result of a dramatic decrease in sales and a high non cash interest expense resulting from debt discount amortization related to two convertible notes, debt service and related expenses, and non cash stock compensation expenses for investor relations and employee options. The Company's current strategy is to expand its customer sales base with its present line of machine products. Plans for expansion are expected to be funded through current working capital from ongoing sales. However, significant growth will require additional funds in the form of debt or equity, or a combination thereof. The Company's growth strategy also includes strategic mergers in addition to growing the current business. A significant acquisition will require additional financing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2007.

Revenues. New Century generated revenues of $4,822,026 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, which was a 52% decrease from $10,048,309 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to lower than usual customer orders. The decrease in machine orders is a direct result of the U.S. economic crises and tighter credit markets.

Gross Profit. Gross loss  for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $(676,170) or  (14%) of revenues, compared to a $2,120,054 gross profit or 21% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007, a $2,796,224 decrease. The decrease in gross profit is due to certain fixed overhead expenses applied to lower revenues and certain manufacturing inefficiencies as a result of the relocation of facilities in the first quarter of 2008.

Operating Loss.  There was an increase in operating loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, from operating loss of $(332,625) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 to an operating loss of $(3,192,887) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The $2,860,262 increase in loss is primarily due to decreased revenues and lower gross profit.

The Company incurred total operating expenses of $2,516,717 for the year ended December 31, 2008, which was a $64,038 or 3% increase from $2,452,679 for the year ended December 31, 2007. In the year ended December 31, 2008, compared with the year ended 2007, all the operating expenses increased (decreased) as follow:

   
Increase/(Decrease)
%
 
Consulting and other compensation
    (38 )
Salaries and related
    93  
Selling, general and administrative
    2  

The decrease in consulting and other compensation is due to the reduction in the number of consulting contracts and the expiration of the existing contracts. The increase in salaries and related costs is due to the reclassification of certain costs to compensation and selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to the increase in public company costs and leasehold costs related to the relocation of the Company’s facilities.

Interest Expense and Debt Discount Amortization. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $1,749,026 compared with $3,153,781 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease of $1,404,755 or 45% in interest expenses is primarily due to restructuring of $3.5 million of convertible debt to $2.95 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Also, in the year ended 2007, the company incurred approximately $650,000 of additional penalties and interest due to defaulting on the CAMOFI loan.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities. In connection with its convertible notes, the Company recorded conversion option and warrant derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities are reevaluated each reporting period.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, there was a  $4,168,415 of gain from decrease in fair value of conversion option liability and of warrants to purchase common stock  related with the Company`s convertible notes.  A gain of $2,146,223 was from decrease in fair value of conversion option liability, and $2,074,024 from decrease in fair value of warrants to purchase common stock liability.  The decrease in fair value was recorded as a gain in the Company’s Statement of Operations. (See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements).

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operations, equity offerings and borrowings under our various credit facilities. Our principal uses of cash have been to finance working capital. We anticipate financing working capital and other capital expenditures partially through operations, but will also need additional equity and debt financings.

It is our policy to carefully monitor the state of our business, cash requirements and capital structure. We believe that funds generated from our operations and availability from our borrowing facilities will be sufficient to fund current business operations as well as anticipated growth over at least the next twelve months; however, there can be no assurance that any growth will occur and unexpected events may result in our need to raise additional capital.

The net cash decrease during the fiscal year ended 2008 was $249,840. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the cash used in operating activities was $697,892, compared with 767,115 cash provided by operating activities in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2008, $448,052 cash was provided by financing activities, compared with $506,479 cash used in financing activities in the prior year. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to $600,000 of proceeds from the issuance of a convertible note in the third quarter of 2008, compared to no cash proceeds from debt or equity in 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2008, no cash was used in or provided by investing activities compared with ($32,225) cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007.

INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The Company does not foresee any adverse effects on its earnings as a result of inflation or changing prices.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(iii) of Regulation S-K.
On February 8, 2008, the Company entered in to a lease agreement for its warehouse and offices. The agreement is for 12 months, totaling $360,000 rent.

GOING CONCERN

The Company's independent registered certified public accounting firm has stated in their report included in this Form 10-K, that the Company has incurred operating losses and has a significant   stockholders'   deficit.  These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:
 
·
The Company continues its aggressive program for selling inventory.
 
·
The Company continues to implement plans to further reduce operating costs.
 
·
The Company is seeking investment capital through the public and private markets, although no assurance can be given that such capital will be available.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported on our balance sheet and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, accounts receivable, doubtful accounts and inventories. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:

 
13

 

Revenue Recognition

Service revenues are billed and recognized in the period the services are rendered.

The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees and costs in accordance with EITF 00-10 "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs." Such fees and costs incurred by the Company are immaterial to the operations of the Company.

In accordance with SFAS 48, "Revenue Recognition when Right of Return Exists," revenue is recorded net of an estimate of markdowns, price concessions and warranty costs. Such reserve is based on management's evaluation of historical experience, current industry trends and estimated costs.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition," as amended by SAB No. 104 which outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that the Company's revenue recognition policy for services and product sales conforms to SAB 101 amended by SAB 104. The Company recognizes revenue of long-term contracts pursuant to SOP 81-1.

Method of Accounting for Long-Term Contracts

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method of accounting to account for long-term contracts and, therefore, takes into account the cost, estimated earnings and revenue to date on fixed-fee contracts not yet completed. The percentage-of-completion method is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term.

The amount of revenue recognized at the statement date is the portion of the total contract price that the cost expended to date bears to the anticipated final cost, based on current estimates of cost to complete. It is not related to the progress billings to customers. Contract costs include all materials, direct labor, machinery, subcontract costs and allocations of indirect overhead.

Because long-term contracts may extend over a period of time, changes in job performance, changes in job conditions and revisions of estimates of cost and earnings during the course of the work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts that require the revision become known. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Contracts that are substantially complete are considered closed for consolidated financial statement purposes. Revenue earned on contracts in progress in excess of billings (under billings) is classified as a current asset. Amounts billed in excess of revenue earned (overbillings) are classified as a current liability.

Estimates

Critical estimates made by management are, among others, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, realization of inventories, collectability of contracts receivable and the estimating of costs for long-term construction contracts. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Accumulated Preferred Dividend and Waiver Of Preferred Dividend

As of December 31, 2008, the Company accumulated unpaid dividends totaling $459,275. At December 31, 2008, the Company had a total of 26,880 preferred shares Series C and 11,640 preferred shares Series D issued and outstanding.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company accumulated unpaid dividends totaling $376,725. At December 31, 2007, the Company had a total of 26,880 preferred shares Series C and 11,640 preferred shares Series D issued and outstanding.

 
14

 

During 2007, the Company recorded a reduction in dividends payable of $69,750, as management determined that those dividends are no longer required to be paid by the Company.

Other Significant Accounting Policies

Other significant accounting policies not involving the same level of measurement uncertainties as those discussed above, are nevertheless important to an understanding of the financial statements. The policies related to consolidation and loss contingencies require difficult judgments on complex matters that are often subject to multiple sources of authoritative guidance. Certain of these matters are among topics currently under reexamination by accounting standards setters and regulators. Although no specific conclusions reached by these standards setters appear likely to cause a material change in our accounting policies, outcomes cannot be predicted with confidence. Also see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, which discusses accounting policies that must be selected by management when there are acceptable alternatives.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS 109 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The valuation allowance approximates $6,977,000 and $5,385,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. (See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements)
 
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value method of accounting for employee stock compensation cost pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments. Prior to that date, we used the intrinsic value method under Accounting Policy Board Opinion No. 25 to recognize compensation cost. Under the method of accounting for the change to the fair value method, compensation cost recognized is the same amount that would have been recognized if the fair value method would have been used for all awards granted. The effects on net income and income per share had the fair value method been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period are reflected in Note 1 of the financial statements.
 
Our assumptions made for purposes of estimating the fair value of our stock options, as well as a summary of the activity under our stock option plan are included in Note 1 of the financial statements.
 
We account for the stock options granted to non-employees in accordance with EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, and SFAS No. 123(R).

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded as of December 31, 2008 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses discussed immediately below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our 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 our assets;

(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 our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

(iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material affect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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 or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Audit Standard No. 5 as being a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a significant misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 
16

 

Management assessed and evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.   Management identified five material weaknesses relating to our internal control over financial reporting, as follows:

(1)
We had not effectively implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls.

(2)
We did not have a sufficient complement of personnel with appropriate training and experience in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP.

(3)
We did not adequately segregate the duties of different personnel within our accounting group due to an insufficient complement of staff.

(4)
We did not implement financial controls that were properly designed to meet the control objectives or address all risks of the processes or the applicable assertions of the significant accounts.

(5)
Due to the material weaknesses identified at our entity level controls we did not test whether our financial activity level controls or our information technology general controls were operating sufficiently to identify a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that may result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The foregoing material weaknesses are described in detail below under the caption “Material Weaknesses.” As a result of these material weaknesses, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.

In making its assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, management used criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in its Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Because of the material weaknesses described above, management believes that, as of December 31, 2008, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.

An independent firm assisted management with its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, including scope determination, planning, staffing, documentation, testing, and overall program management of the assessment project.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 
17

 

Material Weaknesses

(1)           We had not effectively implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls, as evidenced by the following deficiencies:

·         We did not establish an independent Audit Committee who are responsible for the oversight of the financial reporting process, nor was an Audit Committee Charter defined.  At the current time we do not have any independent members of the Board who could comprise this committee.

·         We did not establish an adequate Whistle Blower program for  the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by the issuer regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters; and the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the issuer of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters to the Audit Committee and Board of Directors.

·         We did not have an individual on our Board, nor on the Audit Committee, who meets the “Financial Expert” criteria.

·         We did not maintain documentation evidencing quarterly or other meetings between the Board, senior financial managers and our outside general counsel.  Such meetings include reviewing and approving quarterly and annual filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and reviewing on-going activities to determine if there are any potential audit related issues which may warrant involvement and follow-up action by the Board.

·         We did not follow a formal fraud assessment process to identify and design adequate internal controls to mitigate those risks not deemed to be acceptable.

·         We did not conduct annual performance reviews or evaluations of our management and staff employees.

(2)           We did not have a sufficient complement of personnel with appropriate training and experience in GAAP, as evidenced by the following deficiencies:

·         We do not have a formally trained Chief Financial Officer who is responsible for the oversight of the accounting function.  Currently the CEO is responsible for this function, but has not had formal accounting or auditing experience.

·         The Controller is the only individual with technical accounting experience in our company but is limited in the exposure to SEC filings and disclosures and is not a full-time employee of the company.

·         We have not consulted with other outside parties with accounting experience to assist us in the SEC filings and disclosures prior to the December 31, 2008 10-K filing during 2009.

(3)           We did not adequately segregate the duties of different personnel within our accounting group due to an insufficient complement of staff and inadequate management oversight.

(4)           We did not adequately design internal controls as follows:

 
·
The controls identified in the process documentation were not designed effectively and had no evidence of operating effectiveness for testing purposes.
 
·
The controls identified in the process documentation did not cover all the risks for the specific process
 
·
The controls identified in the process documentation did not cover all applicable assertions for the significant accounts.

 
18

 

(5)           Due to the material weaknesses identified at our entity level we did not test whether our financial activity level controls or our information technology general controls were operating sufficiently to identify a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that may result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Inherent limitations exist in any system of internal control including the possibility of human error and the potential of overriding controls. Even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. The effectiveness of an internal control system may also be affected by changes in conditions.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP COMPLIANCE.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. To the best of the Company's knowledge (based solely upon a review of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed), no officer, director or 10% beneficial shareholder failed to file on a timely basis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 any reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. To the Company's knowledge, based solely on the review of copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, the Company has been informed that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Company's officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners of our common stock were complied with.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
New Century Companies, Inc. and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of New Century Companies, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of New Century Companies, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2008, the Company has a operating loss of $3,192,887, an accumulated deficit of approximately $12,880,000, working capital deficit of approximately $4,750,000 and was also in default on its CAMOFI and CAMHZN debt.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
As discussed in Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, subsequent to May 15, 2008,  and after the Company had filed its Annual Report  on  Form  10-KSB  for  the  years  ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, management determined that the accounting for the 2006 CAMOFI convertible notes incorrectly did not record separate derivative liabilities for the conversion option and warrants issued. These corrections resulted in changes to net income (loss) available to shareholders, total liabilities, and stockholders’ deficit (equity) as more fully described in Note 11.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Operations

New Century Companies, Inc. and Subsidiary (collectively, the "Company"), a California corporation, was incorporated in March 1996 and is located in Southern California. The Company is engaged in acquiring, re-manufacturing and selling pre-owned Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine tools to manufacturing customers. The Company provides rebuilt, retrofit and remanufacturing services for numerous brands of machine tools. It also manufactures original equipment CNC large turning lathes and attachments under the trade name Century Turn. CNC machines use commands from onboard computers to control the movements of cutting tools and rotation speeds of the parts being produced.

The Company currently sells its services by direct sales and through a network of machinery dealers across the United States.  Its customers are generally medium to large sized manufacturing companies in various industries where metal cutting is an integral part of their businesses.

The Company trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “NCNC.OB.”

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Century Companies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, New Century Remanufacturing.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has a operating loss of $3,192,887, an accumulated deficit of approximately $12,880,000, working capital deficit of approximately $4,750,000 and was also in default on its CAMOFI and CAMHZN debt (See Note 6)   These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to fund operations through anticipated increased sales which management believes may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending December 31, 2009. Therefore, the Company will be required to seek additional funds to finance its long-term operations in the form of debt and equity financing which the Company believes is available to it.  The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:
 
·
The Company continues its aggressive program for selling machines.
 
·
The Company continues to implement plans to further reduce operating costs.
 
·
The Company is seeking investment capital through the public and private markets.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts related to recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 
F-6

 

Use of Estimates

In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity (deficit) include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Significant estimates made by management are, among others, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, realization of inventories, collectability of contracts receivable and the estimation of costs for long-term construction contracts.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risks

Cash is maintained at various financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures accounts at each financial institution for up to $100,000 and $250,000 for December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  At times, cash may be in excess of the FDIC insured limit of $250,000.  The Company did not have any uninsured bank balances at December 31, 2008 and approximately $182,000 for December 31, 2007.

The Company sells products to customers throughout the United States. The Company’s ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas served by the Company.  Although the Company does not obtain collateral with which to secure its contract receivable, management periodically reviews contracts receivable and assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that the receivable credit risk exposure could, at times, be material to the financial statements.
 
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for balances that appear to have specific collection issues. The collection process is based on the age of the invoice and requires attempted contacts with the customer at specified intervals. If, after a specified number of days, the Company has been unsuccessful in its collection efforts, a bad debt allowance is recorded for the balance in question. Delinquent accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once uncollectibility has been determined. The factors considered in reaching this determination are the apparent financial condition of the customer and the Company’s success in contacting and negotiating with the customer. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, sales to three customers accounted for approximately 38% of net sales, 16%, 14% and 8% respectively.  Further, there were two customers that accounted for 76% of receivables, the customer that accounted for 16% of sales also accounted for 40% of the receivables at December 31, 2008. Another customer accounted for 36% of receivables but was not in the top three largest customers for the year. No other single customer had net sales of more than 10% of total net sales for the year ended December 31, 2008.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, sales to three customers approximated 36% of net sales, 16%, 10% and 10% respectively. No other single customer net sales were more than 10% for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Management reviews the collectability of contracts receivables periodically and believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts for year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is adequate. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $24,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and $251,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition.  The Company's operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological and other risks associated with operating a business including the potential risk of business failure.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid fixed income investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase, to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out method.  Inventories represent cost of work in process on units not yet under contract.  Cost includes all direct material and labor, machinery, subcontractors and allocations of indirect overhead (see table below).  Net realizable value is based on management's forecast for sales of the Company's products or services in the ensuing years. The industry in which the Company operates is characterized by technological advancement and change. Should demand for the Company's products prove to be significantly less than anticipated, the ultimate realizable value of the Company's inventories could be substantially less than the amount shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company had inventory reserves approximating $533,000 and $286,000 at December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to five years.  Equipment under capital lease are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred depreciation expense of approximately $82,000 and $127,000, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for long-lived asset impairments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of.” (“SFAS No. 144”). SFAS No. 144 requires a three-step approach for recognizing and measuring the impairment of assets to be held and used.  The Company recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts.  The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount.  Fair value is estimated based on discounted future cash flows.  Assets to be sold must be stated at the lower of the assets’ carrying amount or fair value and depreciation is no longer recognized. The Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment existed at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company's revenues consist of contracts with vendors. The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method of accounting to account for long-term contracts and, therefore, takes into account the cost, estimated earnings and revenue to date on fixed-fee contracts not yet completed. The percentage-of-completion method is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term.  The Company recognizes revenue on contracts pursuant to Statements of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.”

For revenues from stock inventory the Company follows Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition", which outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue other than revenue on contacts, and provides guidance for presentation of this revenue and for disclosure related to these revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with the SEC.
 
For contracts, the amount of revenue recognized at the financial statement date is the portion of the total contract price that the cost expended to date bears to the anticipated final cost, based on current estimates of cost to complete. It is not related to the progress billings to customers. Contract costs include all materials, direct labor, machinery, subcontract costs and allocations of indirect overhead.
 
Because contracts may extend over a period of time, changes in job performance, changes in job conditions and revisions of estimates of cost and earnings during the course of the work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts that require the revision become known. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized in the financial statements.
 
Contracts that are substantially complete are considered closed for financial statement purposes. Costs incurred and revenue earned on contracts in progress in excess of billings (under billings) are classified as a current asset. Amounts billed in excess of costs and revenue earned (over billings) are classified as a current liability.
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 48, "Revenue Recognition when Right of Return Exists," revenue is recorded net of an estimate of markdowns, price concessions and warranty costs. Such reserve is based on management's evaluation of historical experience, current industry trends and estimated costs.

Shipping and Handling Costs
 
The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees and costs in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 00-10 "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs." Shipping and handling fees and costs incurred by the Company are immaterial to the operations of the Company and are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of goods sold in the accompanying statements of operations.

Warranty

The Company provides a warranty on certain products sold.  Estimated future warranty obligations related to certain products and services are provided by charges to operations in the period in which the related revenue is recognized.  At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the warranty obligation  balance was $50,000 and $0, respectively.  Amounts charged to warranty expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was approximately $147,000  and $93,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Advertising

The Company expenses the cost of advertising when incurred as selling expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Advertising expenses were approximately $0 and $28,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not incur any research and development costs.

Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS 109 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The valuation allowance approximates $6,929,000 and $4,921,000 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. See Note 7 for additional information.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for each respective year. Common stock equivalents, representing convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, options and warrants totaling approximately 62,101,548   shares at December 31, 2008  are  included in the diluted loss per share.

 
F-10

 

For December 31, 2007, common stock equivalents, representing convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, options and warrants 6,192,972 shares are not included in the diluted loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per common share are the same for 2007.   (See Note 9).

Stock Based Compensation
 
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value method of accounting for employee stock compensation cost pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments”. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.  Estimated compensation for grants that were outstanding as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost estimated for the SFAS 123 pro forma disclosures.  The Company had no equity incentive awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 that were not yet vested. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, share-based compensation expense of $35,014 and $316,800, respectively was recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

From time to time, the Company's Board of Directors grants common share purchase options or warrants to selected directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors in payment of goods or services provided by such persons on a stand-alone basis outside of any of the Company's formal stock plans. The terms of these grants are individually negotiated and generally expire within five years from the grant date.

Under the terms of the Company's 2000 Stock Option Plan, options to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued to officers, key employees and consultants of the Company. The exercise price of any option generally may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The term of each option generally may not be more than five years.

Under the terms of the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan ("ISOP"), on October 8, 2008, the Company granted 1,300,000 incentive stock options to its key employees under the Company’s ISOP. The options have an exercise price of $0.075 to $0.085, vest 50% on December 31, 2008, and 50% on April 8, 2009, and expire on April 6, 2010.

SFAS No. 123-R requires employee stock options and rights to purchase shares under stock participation plans to be accounted for under the fair value method and requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award. The exercise price of options is generally equal to the market price of the Company's common stock (defined as the closing price as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board administered by Nasdaq) on the date of grant. Accordingly,  approximately $70,000 of share-based compensation was recognized, and will be expensed  in the financial statements, based on vesting periods. Accordingly, approximately $35,000 was expensed in the year ended December 31, 2008, and the remaining portion will be expensed in 2009, at the next vesting period.

The effects of share-based compensation resulting from the application of SFAS No. 123-R to options granted outside of the Company's Stock Option Plan resulted in zero expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Share-based compensation recognized as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R as well as pro forma disclosures according to the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 for periods prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R use the Black Scholes option pricing model for estimating fair value of options granted.

 
F-11

 
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 123-R, the Company’s policy is to adjust share-based compensation on a quarterly basis for changes to the estimate of expected award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience. The effect of adjusting the forfeiture rate for all expense amortization after December 31, 2008 is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed.
 
At December 31, 2008, the Company estimated (using the Black Scholes pricing model) the fair value of options granted and no variance has been found. Therefore, the effect of forfeiture adjustments at the period ended December 31, 2008 was not applicable
 
The Company’s policy for options outstanding that are expected to vest are net of estimated future forfeitures in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123-R, which are estimated when compensation costs are recognized. Additional information with respect to stock option activity is as follows:
 
The Company follows SFAS No. 123 (R) (as interpreted by EITF Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued To Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services") to account for transactions involving services provided by third parties where the Company issues equity instruments as part of the total consideration. Pursuant to paragraph 7 of SFAS No. 123 (R), the Company accounts for such transactions using the fair value of the consideration received (i.e. the value of the goods or services) or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The Company applies EITF Issue No. 96-18 in transactions when the value of the goods and/or services are not readily determinable the fair value of the equity instruments is more reliably measurable and the counterparty receives equity instruments in full or partial settlement of the transactions, using the following methodology:
 
a) For transactions where goods have already been delivered or services rendered, the equity instruments are issued on or about the date the performance is complete (and valued on the date of issuance).
 
b) For transactions where the instruments are issued on a fully vested, non-forfeitable basis, the equity instruments are valued on or about the date of the contract.
 
c) For any transactions not meeting the criteria in (a) or (b) above, the Company re-measures the consideration at each reporting date based on its then current stock value.
 
Deferred Financing Costs
 
Direct costs of securing debt financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt. When a loan is paid in full, any unamortized financing costs are removed from the related accounts and charged to operations. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company amortized approximately $296,000 and $358,000, respectively, of deferred financing costs to interest expense.

Convertible Debt Instruments

The Company accounts for the convertible debt instruments issued with warrants under the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued With Stock Purchase Warrants, whereby the relative fair value of any warrants issued to the debt holders in connection with the issuance of the debt, are treated as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.

 
F-12

 

Where the convertible feature of the convertible debt instrument provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, such feature is considered a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”).  Pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratio and EITF No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 To Certain Convertible Instruments, the estimated fair value of a BCF is recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.

Embedded Conversion Feature in Convertible Debt Instruments and Detached Warrants

Embedded conversion features included in convertible debt instruments are initially evaluated under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and EITF Issue No. 00-19, Acccounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, to determine if the embedded conversion option is a derivative requiring bifurcation from the host contract and separate accounting treatment as a liability.  Detached warrants issued in connection with the issuance of debt are similarly evaluated under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 to determine if they should be treated as derivative liabilities or equity.  If derivative liability treatment is determined, the embedded conversion option or warrants are valued utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the determined value is separated from the debt instrument resulting in a separate liability and a debt discount on the related note.  The fair value of the derivative liability is remeasured at the end of every reporting period and changes recorded to operations.  The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.
 
Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted  SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.  SFAS 157 was amended in February 2008 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS No. 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions”, and by FSP FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which delayed the Company’s application of SFAS 157 for nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009. FAS 157 was further amended in October 2008 by FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active”, which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 to assets participating in inactive markets.
 
Implementation of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position and had no effect on the Company’s existing fair-value measurement practices. However, SFAS 157 requires disclosure of a fair-value hierarchy of inputs the Company uses to value an asset or a liability. The three levels of the fair-value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. For the Company, Level 1 inputs include quoted prices on the Company’s securities that are actively traded.

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. For the Company, Level 2 inputs include assumptions such as estimated life, risk free rate and volatility estimates used in determining the fair values of the Company’s option and warrant securities issued.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Beginning January 1, 2009, Level 3 inputs may be required for the determination of fair value associated with certain nonrecurring measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company does not currently present any nonfinancial assets or liabilities at fair value.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies related guidance within GAAP, but does not require any new fair value measurements.  The guidance in SFAS No. 157 applies to derivatives and other financial instruments measured at estimated fair value under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and related pronouncements.  SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy for information and valuations used in measuring fair value, which is broken down into three levels. Level 1 valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1,that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 valuations are based on information that is unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.  SFAS No. 157 was adopted effective January 1, 2008 for the Company’s financial instruments and derivatives.  For nonfinancial assets and liabilities, SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a significant effect on the Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

In May 2008, the FASB issued the final version of Staff  Position No. APB 14-1,  Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that may be Settled in Cash Upon Conversions (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“APB  14-1") that requires the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion  (including partial cash settlement) to be separately accounted  for  in  a  manner  that  reflects  the  issuer's nonconvertible  debt  borrowing  rate. APB 14-1 is  effective  for fiscal years beginning  after  December 15, 2008,  which for the Company will be 2009, and  interim   periods   within   those   fiscal   years  and  must  be  applied retrospectively  to all periods  presented,  which for the Company would include the comparative quarterly presentations for 2008. Accordingly, commencing in 2009, the Company will present prior  period  comparative  results reflecting  the impact of APB 14-1 if determined to apply to the Company at that time.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial statements, if any.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets ("FAS 142-3") that amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  The intent of FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements, if any.
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in SFAS No. 141(R). In addition, SFAS No. 141(R) requires acquisition costs and restructuring costs that the acquirer expected but was not obligated to incur to be recognized separately from the business combination, therefore, expensed instead of part of the purchase price allocation. SFAS No. 141(R) will be applied 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. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 141(R) to any business combinations with an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009.

 
F-14

 

In December 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment to ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 160 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force, or “EITF”), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had loans to two stockholders approximating $565,000 and $545,000, respectively, including accrued interest.  These loans were originated in 1999 and no additional amounts have been loaned to the stockholders.  The loans accrue interest at 5% and are due on demand.  The Company has included the notes receivable from stockholders in stockholders’ equity (deficit) as such amounts have not been repaid during 2008 or 2007.  For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, total interest income from notes receivable from stockholders approximated $20,000 in each year.

5. CAPITAL LEASES

On April 17, 2007, the Company entered into a note payable agreement with a finance company for the purchase of three vehicles. The note accrues interest at 8.49 % per annum, and matures in April 2010. Monthly principal and interest payments are $2,499. This note is secured by the three vehicles.

At December 31, 2008, future principal payments of notes payable are as follows for the years ending December 31:

2009
  $ 27,856  
2010

6. DEBT

CAMOFI Master LDC (“CAMOFI”) Debt
 
On February 28, 2006, the Company issued a 12% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“CAMOFI Note”) to CAMOFI Master LDC (“CAMOFI”) in the amount of $3,500,000, due February 20, 2009.  The CAMOFI Note contains an anti-dilution provision concerning convertibility that reduces the conversion price for any and all equity or convertible equity instruments issued that have a conversion price less than the CAMOFI Note (“anti-dilution provision”). Consequently the variable conversion feature does not allow the CAMOFI Note to be considered conventional convertible debt. Under FAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, the embedded conversion option is required to be treated as a derivative and separated from the contract. Further, the CAMOFI Note also contains a buy-in provision for conversion shares which could require a net cash settlement. According to EITF 00-19, ““Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled In, a Company’s Own Stock”, the convertibility and buy-in provisions require that the conversion option be classified as a liability. The conversion option was valued at $3,502,664 on February 26, 2006 and recorded as a liability. The Black Scholes model was used and the assumptions were: $0.63 cents closing stock price, $0.63 cents exercise price, 4.67% risk free rate, 171.63% volatility and no dividends.

The conversion option is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis and the resulting change in fair value of the liability is recorded as a gain or loss upon valuation in the statement of operations.  The initial conversion option fair value is also treated as a discount to the CAMOFI Note and is amortized over the life of the Note. As of June 26, 2008, $1,094,311 was amortized to expense.

Amendment to CAMOFI Notes

As of June 26, 2008 an aggregate of $3,800,890 principal, interest and penalties were due under the note.

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated June 26, 2008 (the “Letter Agreement”) between the Company and CAMOFI, CAMOFI agreed to waive certain penalties and default interest which had been accrued under the transaction documents previously entered into with CAMOFI, including the CAMOFI Note in the original principal amount of $3,500,000, Security Agreement, an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, and a Subsidiary Guaranty. The waiver is subject to the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Letter Agreement and the execution of further documentation to be prepared in connection with the Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company issued an amended and restated Note (the “CAMOFI Amended Note”) in the principal amount of $2,950,000 with a new maturity date of August 1, 2010.

Additionally, under the Letter Agreement, the Company issued 725,000 shares of common stock and 725,000 five year warrants with an exercise price of $0.10 and 725,000 five year warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 (See “Stock Purchase Warrants Issued and Cancelled in Connection with the CAMOFI Note” below) .

The transaction for the exchange of the CAMOFi Amended Note for the original CAMOFI Note is treated as an extinguishment of debt. EITF 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments” requires that an exchange of debt with substantially different terms is an extinguishment of debt and should be accounted for in accordance with paragraph 16 of FAS 125, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. Paragraph 16 permits derecognition of the liability if and only if it has been extinguished if the debtor pays the creditor and is relieved of its obligation or the debtor is legally released from being the primary obligor under the liability either judicially or by the creditor. Per the Amended CAMOFI Note and the Letter Agreement dated June 26, 2008, the Company has been released from its obligation under the original 12% Convertible Note Agreement. In accordance with EITF 96-19, the Company evaluated the change in cash flows and determined there was a greater than 10% change and therefore treatment as debt extinguishment was applicable.  A gain on extinguishment of $1,797,460 was recorded on June 26, 2008 primarily due to the extinguishment of accrued penalties and interest of $850,000 and extinguishment of the warrant and conversion option derivative liabilities of $347,460.

The CAMOFI Amended Note contains the same anti-dilution provision and buy-in features which were present in the CAMOFI Note and therefore the embedded conversion option is treated as a derivative liability and separated from the contract. The liability was valued at $2,535,393 on June 26, 2008. The Black Scholes model was used and the assumptions were: $0.11 cents closing stock price, $0.10 cents exercise price, 2.21% risk free rate,163.91% volatility and no dividends.

The conversion option is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis and the resulting change in value of the liability is recorded as a gain or loss upon valuation in the statement of operations. The initial conversion option value is also treated as a discount to the CAMOFI Amended Note and is amortized over the life of the Note. As of December 31, 2008, $625,397 was amortized to expense.
 
Stock Purchase Warrants Issued and Cancelled in Connection with the CAMOFI Note
 
In February 2006, the Company granted warrants in connection with the issuance of the CAMOFI Note.  The warrants have an exercise feature that is the same as the anti-dilution provision in the CAMOFI Note and also has the buy-in feature (See, “CAMOFI Master LDC (“CAMOFI”) Debt”). Consequently, the warrants are also treated as derivative liabilities. The fair value of the warrants in February 2006 was $2,190,000. The Black Scholes model was used and the assumptions were: $0.63 closing stock price, $0.63 exercise price, 4.67% risk free rate, 171.63% volatility and no dividends.

The warrant derivative liability is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis and the resulting change in fair value of the liability is recorded as a gain or loss upon valuation in the statement of operations.  The initial warrant liability fair value is also treated as a discount to the CAMOFI Note and is amortized over the life of the Note. As of June 26, 2008, $503,784 was amortized to expense.

Amendment to CAMOFI Note and Warrants

As part of the June 26, 2008 amendment to the CAMOFI Note, CAMOFI cancelled 3,476,190 warrants with a term of five years, which were issued on February 28, 2006 with an exercise price at issuance of $0.63 and 1,500,000 warrants dated December 19, 2006 with an exercise price at issuance of $0.35. The fair value of such warrants on June 26, 2008 was approximately $530,000, based on the Black-Scholes pricing model and was recorded as gain on forgiveness of debt in the Companies statement of operations.  Further,, the Company issued 725,000 warrants exercisable at $0.10 per share and 725,000 warrants exercisable at $0.20 per share. The new warrants contained the anti-dilution and buy-in provisions of the original warrants and thus were also derivative liabilities. The value of the warrants on June 26, 2008 was $158,455. The Black Scholes model was used and the assumptions were: $0.11 closing stock price, $0.10 exercise price, 2.21% risk free rate, 187.01% volatility and no dividends.

The warrant derivative liability is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis and the resulting change in fair value of the liability is recorded as a gain or loss upon valuation in the statement of operations.  The initial warrant liability fair value is also treated as a discount to the CAMOFI Amended Note and is amortized over the life of the Note. As of December 31, 2008, $39,086 was amortized to expense.

Stock Issued in Connection with the restructuring of CAMOFI Note

In connection with the Letter Agreement dated June 26, 2008, the Company issued to CAMOFI 725,000 shares of common stock. The common shares were valued at $79,750 at issuance date, when the closing price was of $0.11 per share. This has been accounted for as a discount to the note and an increase in common stock and APIC. The discount amount from the shares is amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the Notes.  Approximately $20,000 of debt discount was amortized during the year ended December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the unamortized balance of debt discount for the stock issued is approximately $61,000.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, $122,719 of principal payments were made on the CAMOFI Note. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the principal balance is approximately $2,827,000 and $2,567,000, respectively, which is presented net of unamortized debt discounts totaling approximately $2,089,443 and $1,176,000, respectively.

CAMHZN Master LDC (“CAMHZN”) Convertible Debt
 
On August 8, 2008, the Company issued a 15% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“CAMHZN Note”) to CAMHZN Master LDC (“CAMHZN”) in the principal amount of $600,000, with a maturity date of August 1, 2010, and a conversion price of $0.07.

Additionally, the Company granted 1,000,000 seven year warrants with an exercise price of $0.07 to CAMHZN Master LDC (“CAMHZN Warrants”). 

The CAMHZN Note contains the same anti-dilution provision and buy-in features which are present in the CAMOFI Note and therefore the embedded conversion option is treated as a derivative liability and separated from the contract.  The liability was valued at $380,463 on August 8, 2008. The Black Scholes model was used and the assumptions were: $0.062 closing stock price, $0.07 exercise price, 4.04% risk free rate, 216% volatility and no dividends.

The conversion option derivative liability is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis and the resulting change in value of the liability is recorded as a gain or loss upon valuation in the statement of operations. The initial conversion option value is also treated as a discount to the CAMOFI Amended Note and is amortized over the life of the Note. As of December 31, 2008, $79,263 was amortized to expense.

 
F-19

 

Stock Purchase Warrants Issued in connection with CAMHZN Convertible Note Payable
 
The CAMHZN Warrants have an exercise feature that is the same as the anti-dilution provision in the CAMOFI Warrants and CAMOFI Note and also has the buy-in feature (See, “CAMOFI Master LDC (“CAMOFI”) Debt”). Consequently, the warrants are also treated as derivative liabilities. The fair value of the warrants as of August 8, 2008 was $61,756.  The fair value of the warrants was determined based on the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions:  closing stock price $0.07 per share, exercise price of $0.07 estimated life 7 years, risk free rate 4.04% and volatility 216%.
The warrant derivative liability is marked-to-market on a quarterly basis and the resulting change in value of the liability is recorded as a gain or loss upon valuation in the statement of operations. . For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a gain on the valuation of $11,756.

The initial CAMHZN Warrants derivative liability represents a discount from the face amount of the notes payable. Such discounts are amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company amortized approximately $13,000 to interest expense.

Amendment to the Warrant Agreement

On December 30, 2008, the Company entered into an amended agreement with the warrant holder, CAMHZN Master LDC, whereby the warrant holder agreed to waive its Registration Rights for a fee of $150,000. Such fee was added to the outstanding balance of the 15% Convertible Promissory Note. The Company recorded the $150,000 as deferred financing fees and is amortizing it over the remaining maturity of the CAMHZN Note.

As of December 31, 2008, the principal balance of the CAMHZN Note is $701,000, which is presented net of unamortized debt discounts of approximately $49,000.

At December 31, 2008, principal payments due related to the above notes for the years ending December 31 are $2,827,281 for CAMOFI Note and $750,000 for CAMHZN Note.

7. INCOME TAXES

During 2008 and 2007, the provision for income taxes differs from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 34% to income before provision for income taxes as a result of the following:
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
             
Computed “expected” tax (benefit) expense
  $ (1,349,000 )   $ (1,146,000 )
                 
Addition to (reduction) in income taxes resulting from:
               
State income taxes, net of federal benefit
    (240,000 )     (183,000 )
Change in deferred tax asset valuation allowance
    1,592,200       1,222,000  
Non-deductible expenses
    -       107,000  
                 
    $ 3,200     $ -  

The effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2008 and 2007 are presented below:

   
2008
   
2007
 
             
Deferred tax assets:
           
 Tax net operating loss carryforwards
  $ 7,022,000     $ 5,728,000  
 Warrant liability
    (593,000 )     (598,000 )
Depreciation
    27,000          
 Accrued inventory reserve
    213,000       114,000  
 Accrued expenses
    308,000       141,000  
                 
Total gross deferred tax asset
    6,977,000       5,385,000  
Less valuation allowance
    (6,977,000 )     (5,385,000 )
                 
Total net deferred tax asset
  $     $  

Based upon the Company’s history of continued operating losses, realization of its deferred tax assets does not meet the “more likely than not” criteria under SFAS No. 109 and, accordingly, a valuation allowance for the entire deferred tax asset amount has been recorded.

The valuation allowance increased by $1,592,000 and $858,000 during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The current provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is due primarily to certain state taxes.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had net tax operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $19.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively, available to offset future taxable federal and state income. If not utilized to offset future taxable income, the federal and state carryforwards will expire in various years through 2028. In the event the Company were to experience a greater than 50% change in ownership as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the utilization of the Company’s tax net operating loss carryforwards could be severely restricted.

 
F-21

 

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The adoption of FIN 48 did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the Company’s retained earnings. As of the date of adoption, the Company had no unrecognized income tax benefits. Accordingly, the annual effective tax rate was not affected by the adoption of FIN 48. Should the Company incur interest and penalties relating to tax uncertainties, such amounts would be classified as a component of interest expense and operating expense, respectively.
 
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no increase or decrease in unrecognized income tax benefits for the year. There was no accrued interest or penalties relating to tax uncertainties at December 31, 2008 and 2007. Furthermore, there were no adjustments to the liability or lapse of statute of limitation or settlements with taxing authorities.

The Company expects resolution of unrecognized tax benefits, if created, would occur while the full valuation allowance of deferred tax assets is maintained, therefore, the Company does not expect to have any unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, that would affect the effective tax rate.
 
The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S. federal and California state jurisdictions and has identified its federal and California tax returns below as “major” tax filings. These jurisdictions, along with the years still open to audit under the applicable statutes of limitation, are as follows:
 
 
Tax Years
     
 
2005 – 2007
California
 
2004 – 2007

However, because the Company had net operating losses and credits carried forward in both of the jurisdictions, certain items attributable to closed tax years are still subject to adjustment by applicable taxing authorities through an adjustment to tax attributes carried forward to open years.

The options have an exercise price of $0.075 to $0.0825, vest 50% on December 31, 2008, and 50% on April 8, 2009, and expire on April 6, 2010.

SFAS No. 123-R requires employee stock options and rights to purchase shares under stock participation plans to be accounted for under the fair value method and requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award. The exercise price of options is generally equal to the market price of the Company's common stock (defined as the closing price as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board administered by Nasdaq) on the date of grant.  Accordingly, $70,000 of share-based compensation will be recognized in the financial statements based on vesting periods, as follows: $35,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, and $35,000 for the year ending December 31, 2009(See Note 1).

On November 13, 2006, the Company granted 2,000,000 options to key employees.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company granted 800,000 options related to consulting services.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had 900,000 options available for future issuance under their equity compensation plans.

Under the terms of the Company's non-statutory stock option plan ("NSSO"), options to purchase an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of common stock may be issued to non-employees for services rendered. These options are non-assignable and non-transferable, are exercisable over a five-year period from the date of grant, and vest on the date of grant.

The following is a status of the stock options outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the changes during the two years then ended:

The weighted average grant-date fair value of the options granted was $0.05. The fair value of each share-based award is estimated on the grant date using the Black Scholes option-pricing formula. The exercise price on all options are equal to the closing stock price on the date of grant, except for 500,000 options issued to the Chief Executive Officer, which had a 10% premium to the exercise price, per the ERISA rules. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price (217%). The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury interest rates in effect at the time of grant (1.04%). All of the options granted during the year have an expected term of 1 year.

From time to time, the Company issues warrants to employees and to third parties pursuant to various agreements, which are not approved by the shareholders.  The CAMOFI Warrants and CAMHZN Warrants contain an anti-dilution provision which reduces the exercise price whenever other securities are issued with a lower price.  The anti-dilution feature of the CAMOFI and CAMHZN Warrants lowered the exercise prices and increased the number of shares issuable under the warrants from the price and shares as originally issued.

The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion or exercise of securities that may have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. Convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, stock options and warrants that have not been included in the diluted income per share computation totaled 7,284,064 and 44,312,545 shares of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Service Agreements

Periodically, the Company enters into various agreements for services including, but not limited to, public relations, financial consulting and manufacturing consulting. Generally, the agreements are ongoing until such time they are terminated, as defined. Compensation for services is paid either at a fixed monthly rate or based on a percentage, as specified, and may be payable in shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company's policy is that expenses related to these types of agreements are valued at the fair market value of the services or the shares granted, whichever is more realistically determinable.  Such expenses are amortized over the period of service.

11. RESTATEMENT

On February 28, 2006, the Company issued a 12% senior convertible promissory note to CAMOFI Master LDC (“2006 CAMOFI Note”). Pursuant to a letter agreement dated June 26, 2008 (the “Letter Agreement”) between New Century Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) and CAMOFI Master LDC (“CAMOFI”), CAMOFI agreed to waive certain penalties and default interest which have been accrued under the transaction documents previously entered into with CAMOFI, including a 12% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note due February 20, 2009 in the original principal amount of $3,500,000, Security Agreement, an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, and a Subsidiary Guaranty. The waiver is subject to the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Letter Agreement and the execution of further documentation to be prepared in connection with the Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company issued an amended and restated Note (the “Amended Note”) in the principal amount of $2,950,000 with a new maturity date of August 1, 2010.
 
Additionally, under the Letter Agreement, the Company issued 725,000 shares of common stock and 725,000 five year warrants with an exercise price of $0.10 and 725,000 five year warrants with an exercise price of $0.20. Commencing on August 1, 2008, and continuing thereafter on the first business day of every month for the next twenty-four months, the Company has the obligation to pay to CAMOFI the amount of $70,000, allocated first to the payment of interest and second to the payment of principal on the Amended and Restated Note. On or before August 1, 2010, the Company shall pay to CAMOFI all amounts still outstanding under the Amended and Restated Note, whether of principal, interest or otherwise.
 
The original accounting for the 2006 CAMOFI Note failed to appropriately record separate derivative treatment for the conversion option and the warrants issued with the 2006 CAMOFI Note. The requirements of FAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled In, a Company’s Own Stock” were not met and thus the conversion option and the warrants are derivative liabilities and must be accounted for separately and marked-to-market quarterly.

Additionally, the Amended Note was originally treated as a troubled debt restructuring, but upon further review was properly corrected as an extinguishment of debt. EITF 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments” requires that an exchange of debt with substantially different terms is an extinguishment of debt and should be accounted for in accordance with paragraph 16 of FAS 125, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. Paragraph 16 permits derecognition of the liability if and only if it has been extinguished if the debtor pays the creditor and is relieved of its obligation or the debtor is legally released from being the primary obligor under the liability either judicially or by the creditor. Per the Amended 12% Convertible Note Agreement and the Letter Agreement dated June 26, 2008, New Century has been released from its obligation under the original 12% Convertible Note Agreement.

F-33

 
The effect of these changes impacted the balance sheet and the statement of operations from February 2006 through December 31, 2008. The balance sheet effect is due to the recording of the conversion option and warrant liabilities and the statement of operatons effect is due to the gains and losses from the marked-to-market adjustments and an increase in interest expense. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations for the periods described in the preceding sentence have  been  retroactively  adjusted  as  summarized  below:
