Item 1.  Description of Business
 
Background
 
Acacia Automotive, Inc. was originally formed in 1984 and, when named Gibbs Construction, Inc. grew to a full service, national commercial construction company, completing an initial public offering of its Common Stock to the public in January, 1996.  In April, 2000, Gibbs Construction, Inc. filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code following the filing for similar protection of the Company’s largest client and which followed the incursion of significant losses on several projects.
 
Prior to filing for protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code in April 2000, Gibbs Construction, Inc. had 4,060,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.  The bankruptcy reorganization proceeding placed the existing assets of Gibbs Construction, Inc. in a liquidating trust, issued 501,000 shares of Common Stock to the trust, and agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock to a creditor.  Thacker Asset Management, LLC (“TAM”) agreed to sell to the Company certain existing contracts, furniture, fixtures and equipment in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  Following these transactions, there were 8,561,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding.
 
TAM’s operations were not successful, and all operating activities ceased in 2002.  On June 26, 2006, the bankruptcy trustee requested and received an Order for Final Decree.  On October 5, 2006, the 501,000 shares of common stock issued to the Trust were abandoned, returned to the Company, and thereupon cancelled leaving 8,060,000 shares issued and outstanding.
 
Post Bankruptcy Restructuring
 
On August 15, 2006, Steven L. Sample acquired for $50,000, 4,000,000 shares, or 46.7%, of the 8,561,000 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the registrant from TAM and its associates.  Mr. Sample also paid several costs, of the company such as the costs associated with completing the bankruptcy proceedings and arranging for the Company’s SEC filings to be brought current and costs associated with recapitalizing the company. These costs totaled $138,862. In connection with the payment of these costs, the registrant agreed to effect a one for eight reverse stock split, to issue to Mr. Sample an additional 8,117,500 shares of Common Stock and 500,000 shares of preferred stock.  For the assistance of Harry K. Myers, Jr., a principal of Baker #1, Ltd., the entity owning Thacker Asset Management, LLC, the registrant agreed to issue to him 25,000 shares of preferred stock and 450,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
To fulfill its obligations under this agreement and further restructure the Company, the registrant’s board of directors recommended that its stockholders amend the corporate charter to effect a one for eight reverse stock split, to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 150,000,000 and to create and establish a series of preferred stock.  On February 1, 2007, the Company’s shareholders approved these actions and also approved changing the Company’s name to Acacia Automotive, Inc.  These amendments to the Company’s charter were effective February 20, 2007
 
Immediately following the approval of these amendments, the Company adopted a stock option plan, which was ratified by the Company’s stockholders in November 2007, reserving 1,000,000 shares thereunder.  In February 2007 the directors granted pursuant to the plan 500,000 restricted shares to Mr. Moorby, the Company’s president, and options to two officers of the Company for another 15,000 shares.  With these grants, the exercise of warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock, the exchange of the preferred stock issued to a creditor in the bankruptcy proceeding for 100,000 shares of Common Stock, and the payment of 10,000 shares of Common Stock to a consultant, there were 11,997,524 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on March 31, 2008.
 
Contemplated Business
 
The Company’s prime objective is to acquire going and functioning profitable automotive auctions with a trailing record of financial success, focusing on whole vehicle automobiles and light trucks.  Whole vehicle refers to vehicles that are generally in good repair, are roadworthy and operate under their own power as opposed to salvage units, that is, damaged vehicles that are considered total losses for insurance or business purposes.  In addition, the Company believes that if the acquired auction or auctions do not service the boat, recreational or motor home segments or the medium and heavy duty truck and equipment segments, it will seek to add one or more of those services to the auction’s activities, assuming the local market will support such additional services.
 
 
The Company considers its first acquisition of an automobile auction as indicative of the basis of services rendered by the Company.  The Company will have to raise cash to acquire additional automobile auctions, probably through the sale of Common Stock.
 
On July 10, 2007, the registrant completed the acquisition of all of the assets of Augusta Auto Auction, Inc. which conducted its business under the name Augusta Auto Auction and previously Hilltop Auto Auction.  The registrant issued 500,000 shares of its Common Stock and a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock for the assets.  The warrant has a term of five years and an exercise price of $1.00.  In addition, the registrant issued to two individuals a warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock in consideration for entering into a non-compete agreement. Of the 75,000 warrants issued to each of those individuals for non-compete agreements, they were given the right to purchase 25,000 shares of Common stock each at $1.00, $2.00 and $4.00 respectively for an average aggregate price of $2.33 per share within five years of issuance.
 
The Company has signed a letter of Intent to acquire a profitable automobile auction in the southeastern United States, but cannot disclose the nature or location of that entity until final funding for the acquisition is complete and the definitive agreement has been executed.
 
History of Augusta Auto Auction
 
Augusta Auto Auction, Inc. (the “Auction”) is an automotive auction located in North Augusta, South Carolina, part of the Augusta, Georgia, metropolitan area, and is located three miles from the center of that city. The auction was originally formed and operated for many years in its present location as Hilltop Auto Auction.  In 2002 the group from which the registrant purchased the auction formed Augusta Auto Auction, Inc. after acquiring it from the owners of Hilltop Auto Auction.
 
Acacia Automotive formed a new South Carolina corporate subsidiary in July of 2007 which acquired the assets of Augusta Auto Auction.  The new corporation is named Acacia Augusta Vehicle Auction, Inc. d/b/a Augusta Auto Auction, Inc.
 
Business of the Auction
 
The Auction sells whole car and salvage vehicles for automotive dealers and commercial concerns. It also has the contract to sell vehicles and equipment for the U.S. Marshals Service in the South Carolina area, primarily offering confiscated vehicles and other units for them. Dealers and other qualified buyers attend the weekly auctions and bid on offered units. The highest bidder owns the vehicle, subject to any limiting reserve prices established by the owner/seller of the unit(s). In most cases, the buyers and sellers of the units pick up and deliver them to the Auction property, but the Auction does provide some transport services, generally for a fee.
 
The Auction generates revenues from fees for its services, including buyer fees, seller fees, transportation fees, title fees, draft and floor plan fees, reconditioning fees, and more. Augusta Auto Auction relies upon the efforts of its management for sales and marketing, but anticipates adding additional personnel in the future to increase the scope of those operations.
 
The Auction markets its activities through its employees.
 
Industry
 
Automotive auctions are the hub of a massive redistribution system for used vehicles and equipment. These auctions enable commercial and institutional customers and selling dealers to easily dispose of their used vehicles to franchised, independent, and wholesale used vehicle and equipment dealers. The auction’s responsibility is to maximize the selling price obtained for clients’ used vehicles and equipment, efficiently transfer the physical and administrative ownership of the units (including the preparation and transfer of certificates of title and other evidence of ownership), and transfer funds resulting from the buy/sell transactions as quickly as possible from the buyers to the sellers.  The auction promotes its services to a large number of dealers seeking to restock their inventories for resale opportunities. Auctions are traditionally held weekly, if not more frequently, at the various locations to accommodate the needs of buyers and sellers in diverse segments of the industry. During the process, auctions do not generally take title to or ownership of the vehicles consigned for sale, but instead facilitate the transfer of vehicle ownership directly from seller to buyer, and in so doing they generate fees from the buyer and from the seller. In addition to these “buy/sell” fees, the auctions can generate substantial revenues by providing other services to clients, including: vehicle appearance reconditioning (detailing) services; paint and body repair; paintless dent repair (PDR); glass repair and replacement; key replacement; upholstery repair; minor mechanical repair; title services; sales of tires, batteries and accessories (TBA); marshaling (controlled storage) and inspection services, inbound and outbound transportation and delivery services, and more. In most instances, customers may also purchase each of these value-added services separately and directly from the auction in addition to having these services performed to units enrolled in the normal vehicle auction process.
 
 
The total number of vehicles offered for sale, and the total number of vehicles sold allow for determination of the total and per unit costs incurred and fees generated by the process. An important measure to the results of the used vehicle auction process is the conversion percentage, which represents the number of vehicles sold as a percentage of the vehicles offered for sale. In general, a high sales volume and conversion percentage efficiency at an auction converts to increased fees, lower costs, and greater profit opportunities. Auto auctions can also provide additional services to their clients, often including: (1) in-house services such as processing, advertising and marketing of the vehicles to be offered for sale; registration of new dealers and clients; processing of sale proceeds and other funds; handling arbitration disputes from the auction sale/purchase process; preparation of and transmittal of vehicle condition reports; security services for client inventories; creation and distribution of sales and marketing reports; as well as the actual sale of vehicles by licensed auctioneers; (2) internet-based solutions, including on-line bulletin board auctions and on-line live auctions that are simulcast in real-time in cooperation with the actual physical auctions; and, (3)  title processing and other paperwork administration and ancillary services.
 
Competition
 
The Company anticipates competing principally by service.  Management of the Company believes that service is one keystone upon which auto auctions are routinely measured, and has identified and made the practical execution of a high level of service to its clients an integral part of its business and operating plans.
 
The industry served by the Company is highly competitive across the entire United States and Canada. It is anticipated that any of our acquisition targets would potentially compete with a variety of knowledgeable and experienced companies. The main competitors the Company would expect to face throughout the United States are: (1) Manheim Auto Auctions: Manheim, a subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, has approximately 90 auto auctions throughout the United States and others in Canada and elsewhere around the globe. Manheim owns several of the country’s largest auction facilities, and our management considers them to be very competitive and the leader in technological processes and Internet marketing capabilities. (2) ADESA Auto Auctions: ADESA, traded on the NYSE under the symbol KAR prior to being acquired by an investor group led by Kelso and Company in April of 2007 and thereby being taken private, is the second-largest auto auction company in North America with approximately 58 whole car auctions. They operate some 44 auctions in the United States and 14 in Canada. Acacia’s Management believes that ADESA’s technological processes and Internet marketing capabilities, while lagging those of Manheim, are nonetheless formidable. (3) Auction Broadcasting Company (ABC): ABC owns and operates approximately seven auctions nationally. While not nearly so large in their technological processes and Internet marketing capabilities as Manheim or ADESA, ABC has worked to develop a diverse model from its competitors. Acacia’s management does not believe that ABC is seeking to gain a substantially greater position in the traditional auction arena marketplace than it presently holds, (4) independent auto auctions: There are hundreds of independent auto auctions operating in the United States.  Acacia actually sees these independent auctions as targets for future acquisitions, and enjoys a friendly relationship in most instances. (5) “mobile” auctions: There are several companies that operate “mobile” auctions. Their plans primarily entail engaging larger dealerships to host periodically “on-site” auctions that utilize these companies’ auctioneering and administrative services. Management does not believe these smaller independent mobile auctions are a substantial threat to our operations and will not likely become so under their present business models.
 
There are at least eleven auto auctions in operation in Georgia, and there are another six or more in South Carolina.  The two largest whole-car national automobile auction companies, Mannheim Auto Auctions and ADESA, have a total of three auctions in Georgia, all near Atlanta, Georgia.  While ADESA does not have an auction in South Carolina, Mannheim has one auction in Darlington, South Carolina.  Auction Broadcasting Corporation also has an auction near Atlanta, Georgia but none in South Carolina. In addition to those auction companies’ operations, there are several other independent auto auctions operating in Georgia, some specializing in sales of damaged or “salvage” units and perhaps one or more mobile auctions that will host on-site auctions at dealerships.
 
All our competitors will be seeking the same or similar clients as those targeted by our planned operations in every state in which we may seek to operate, many of which presently have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than our Company. Our Company expects that it will face additional competition from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. The principal competitive factors in our markets will emanate from the larger national companies and will include: (i) brand name recognition of competitors; (ii) larger, more modern, and better-equipped facilities; (in) superior Internet system engineering and technological expertise; (iv) more extensive staffs of experienced management and support personnel; (v) broader geographic presence; (vi) greater financial resources; (vii) introductions of new and enhanced services and products; and, (viii) greater variety of services offered.  We will have no control over how successful our competitors are in addressing these factors. Increased competition can result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm our net revenue and results of operations. The Company will rely upon its ability to offer the same or similar services as the competition, but with a higher level of service and customer satisfaction.
 
The prices to be charged by any auction the Company may acquire will generally be reflective of the competitive pricing in its local marketplace.  Some of these local markets may face competitive pressures from national automobile auction chains such as ADESA and Manheim which have size, financial and market strengths the Company lacks.
 
 
Employees
 
The company currently has two officer employees, Steven L. Sample, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Tony Moorby, its President and Chief Operating Officer. The Augusta auction employs eight full time and 17 part time people.  The registrant plans to increase the number of employees, both part time and full time, as it expands its operations.
 
A given automobile auction will employ both full and part-time personnel and the number of employees may vary from as few as 10 to as many as 300 or more.  The approximate size of our target auctions may more likely lie within the range of 50 to 100 employees.
 
The parent company, upon any successful course of acquiring auctions, would need to expand its staff to implement the controls necessary to manage a larger organization. This would likely result in the need for a Chief Financial Officer, as well other officers and managers and basic support personnel The Company will undertake to operate with the smallest corporate management staff possible so as to maintain the lowest overhead possible while still effecting sufficient management processes to properly guide the company.
 
Governmental Regulation
 
The Company, as with most companies operating vehicle auctions, is subject to various permits and licenses. These include vehicle dealer licenses, auctioneer licenses, business permits and licenses, sales tax permits, and others. The registrant’s auction has obtained all permits necessary to function under the current South Carolina regulations
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Because We Have Limited Operating History, it is Difficult to Evaluate Our Business.
 
The Company acquired a shell corporation that had no assets or liabilities after emerging in 2006 from six years in bankruptcy, and the Company began operating in July 2007 with the acquisition of one automobile auction.  Because of our limited operating history, you have very little operating and financial data about us upon which to base an evaluation. You should consider our prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties we may encounter, including those frequently encountered by new companies. If we are unable to execute our plans and grow our business, either as a result of the risks identified in this section or for any other reason, this failure would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We plan to grow through acquisitions, and investors have no current basis to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target businesses' operations or our ability to identify and integrate acquired operations into our company. To the extent we complete a business combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its development stage, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations of those entities. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors.
 
The purchase of our securities is a purchase of an interest in a high risk or in a new or “start-up” venture with all the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are subject.
 
 
We plan to grow through acquisitions
 
Because we intend to develop and expand our business through selective acquisitions of automobile auctions and other complementary businesses, there are significant risks that we may not be successful. We may not be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional companies or assets or successfully integrate such additional companies or assets without substantial costs, delays or other problems. In addition, companies we may acquire may not be profitable at the time of their acquisition or may not achieve levels of profitability that would justify our investment. Acquisitions may involve a number of special risks, including
 
 
adverse short-term effects on our reported operating results,
 
 
diversion of management's attention,
 
 
dependence on retaining, hiring and training key personnel,
 
 
risks associated with unanticipated problems or legal liabilities,
 
 
amortization of acquired intangible assets, some or all of which could reflect poorly on our operating results and financial reports,
 
 
implementation or remediation of controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a larger public company at companies that prior to the acquisition lacked these controls, procedures and policies; and,
 
 
incursion of debt to make acquisitions or for other operating uses.
 
We will implement our acquisition strategy in what may be considered a mature industry
 
We believe the vehicle redistribution industry through auctions may be considered a mature industry in which single-digit or low double-digit growth may occur. Most growth for our Company would, accordingly, occur largely through acquisitions. To the extent that competitors are also seeking to grow through acquisitions, we could encounter competition for those acquisitions or a generally increasing price to acquire automobile auctions.
 
A primary part of the Company’s strategy is to establish revenue through the acquisition of additional companies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional companies or successfully integrate the operations of additional companies into those of the Company without encountering substantial costs, delays or other problems. In addition, there can be no assurance that companies acquired in the future will achieve or maintain profitability that justify liabilities that could materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations or financial condition. The Company may compete for acquisition and expansion opportunities with companies that have greater resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that suitable acquisition candidates will be available, that purchase terms or financing for acquisitions will be obtainable on terms acceptable to the Company, that acquisitions can be consummated or that acquired businesses can be integrated successfully and profitability into the Company’s operations. Further, the Company's results of operations in fiscal quarters immediately following a material acquisition may be materially adversely affected while the Company integrates the acquired business into its existing operations.
 
The Company will attempt to acquire profitable business entities that are going and functioning concerns with a trailing history of profitability, but may acquire certain businesses that have either been unprofitable, have had inconsistent profitability prior to their acquisition, or that have had no operating history. An inability of the Company to improve the profitability of these acquired businesses could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Finally, the Company's acquisition strategy places significant demands on the Company's resources and there can be no assurance that the Company's management and operational systems and structure can be expanded to effectively support the Company's acquisition strategy. If the Company is unable to successfully implement its acquisition strategy, this inability may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, or financial condition. The Company may face the opportunity to enhance shareholder value by being acquired by another company. Upon any acquisition of the Company, the Company would be subject to various risks, including the replacement of its management by persons currently unknown. There can also be no assurance that, if acquired, new management will be successfully integrated or can profitably manage the Company. In addition, any acquisition of the Company may involve immediate dilution to existing shareholders of the Company. In its present configuration, the Company cannot be forcibly acquired in a hostile takeover, and therefore the Company can review the ultimate impact on its shareholders prior to engaging in any such activities. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to or desire to be acquired, or be able to acquire additional companies.
 
 
Possible Need for Additional Financing
 
The Company intends to fund its operations and other capital needs for the next six months from private placements, but there can be no assurance that such funds will be sufficient for the purposes of our business. The Company may require additional amounts of capital for its future expansion and working capital. The Company has made preliminary arrangements to obtain future additional financing, if required, but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or that such financing will be available on acceptable terms.
 
Dependence on Tony Moorby and Steve Sample
 
Our future performance depends in significant part upon the continued service of our President and Chief Operating Officer, Tony Moorby, and our Chief Executive Officer, Steve “Junior” Sample. The loss of their services could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The Company does not presently maintain key man life insurance on Mr. Moorby and Mr. Sample, but may obtain such insurance at the discretion of its board of directors for such term as it may deem suitable or desirable. Our future success also depends on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical, sales and managerial personnel. Although the Company feels that there is a sufficient pool of talent available, the competition for such personnel can be intense, and there can be no assurance that we can attract, assimilate or retain highly qualified technical, sales and managerial personnel for favorable compensations in the future.
 
Technological Change
 
Technology, particularly the ability to use the Internet to view vehicles, to conduct Internet auctions, to allow customers to participate through the Internet in on–site auctions, and to allow several management functions for buyers and sellers for vehicle auctions is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new product and service announcements, introductions and enhancements, and changing customer demands. Our future success will to some degree depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, our ability to adapt its solutions to meet evolving industry standards and our ability to improve continually the performance, features and reliability of its solutions. The failure of the Company to adapt successfully to such changes in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful implementation of solutions, or that any new solutions or enhancements to existing solutions will adequately meet the requirements of its current and prospective customers and achieve any degree of significant market acceptance. If the Company is unable, for technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new solutions or enhancements to existing solutions in a timely manner or in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, or if its solutions or enhancements do not achieve a significant degree of market acceptance, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
 
Competition
 
The industry served by the Company is highly competitive across the entire United States and Canada. We currently or potentially compete with a variety of companies. Our first acquisition, servicing the Augusta, Georgia, area, was acquired July 10, 2007, and we anticipate that the Company’s other early acquisitions will be in the eastern United States, but there is no assurance it will be able do so. See “Item 1- Business – Competition.”
 
Control
 
The Company is currently controlled by two of its officers and directors. Tony Moorby, the Company’s President and COO, and Steven L. Sample, the Company’s CEO, currently own 59.8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Mr. Sample and Mr. Moorby and will initially retain effective control over the Company’s operations, including the election of a majority of its board of directors, the issuance of additional shares of equity securities, and other matters of corporate governance Based upon the Company's current business plan, it is anticipated that Mr. Moorby and Mr. Sample will continue to have effective but not ultimate control of the Company well into future, perhaps even after some subsequent private offerings or a public offering.
 
Management of Growth
 
The Company has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire a profitable southeastern U.S. auto auction, and is currently seeking to identify and acquire additional going and functioning auto auctions. As a result, the Company must manage relationships with a growing number of third parties as it seeks to accommodate this goal. The Company's management, personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support the Company’s future operations. The Company's ability to manage its growth effectively will require it to continue to expand its operating and financial procedures and controls, to replace or upgrade its operational, financial and management information systems and to attract, train, motivate, manage and retain key employees. If the Company's executives are unable to manage growth effectively, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. If successful in acquiring additional auto auctions, the Company expects to inherit a substantial portion of the staff necessary to operate the new entities. We may find that some of the personnel and management of any acquisition target(s) may not be suitable for continued employment, while other suitable candidates may elect to discontinue their employment or affiliation with the Company for various reasons. This can create a burden on the Company’s management as it seeks to fill key positions. Failure of the Company to do so in a timely manner can result in disruption of auction operations, loss of revenues, and a subsequent reduction in profits.
 
 
Risks Associated with Expansion
 
The Company commenced auction operations first in one location and market, and plans to subsequently expand into other locations and markets.  To date, the Company does not have experience in developing services on a regional or national scale. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to deploy successfully its services in these markets. There are certain risks inherent in doing business in several diverse markets, such as; unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, potentially adverse tax consequences, local restrictions, controls relating to inter-company communications and technology, difficulties in staffing and managing distant operations, fluctuations in manpower availability, effects of local competition, weather and climactic trends, and customer preferences, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the success of the Company's operations and, consequently, on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition.
 
Product and Service Offerings
 
The Company is primarily a service business.  It is important to our future success to expand the breadth and depth of our service offerings to stay abreast of the competition and to enhance our potentials for growth of revenues and profits. Expansion of our service categories and service offerings in this manner will require significant additional expenditures and could strain our management, financial and operational resources. For example, we may find it prudent to build, outfit, and operate a body and paint shop at an auction facility that does not presently have one. We cannot be certain that we will be able to do so in a cost-effective or timely manner or that we will be able to offer certain services in demand by our customers, or to do so in a quality manner. Furthermore, any new service offering that is not favorably received by the Company’s clients could damage our reputation. The lack of market acceptance of new services or our inability to generate satisfactory revenues from expanded service offerings to offset their costs could harm our business. If we do not successfully expand our sales and service operations, our revenues may fall below expectations.  If we do not successfully expand our operations on an ongoing basis to accommodate increases in demand, we will not be able to fulfill our customers’ needs in a timely manner, which would harm our business. Most of our service operations are anticipated to be handled at our facilities, but some services may be performed at offsite locations or by approved vendors or contractors. Any future expansion may cause disruptions in our business and may be insufficient to meet our ongoing requirements.
 
Government Regulation and Legal Uncertainties
 
Any new legislation or regulation, or the application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to the Company's business could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Check, Credit Card, and Other Fraud
 
Our business would be harmed if we experience significant check, credit card, or other fraud. If we fail to adequately control fraudulent transactions, our revenues and results of operations could be harmed. The Company’s auction operations will subscribe to the services of Auction Insurance Agency as a protection against risks similar to these, but while the Company’s exposure to loss in this event is thought to be limited by the purchase of insurance, losses could nonetheless occur. Any losses sustained as a result of fraud or fraudulent activity would adversely affect the Company's business and results of operations, and its financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
 
Development of and Dependence on Key Personnel
 
The Company's success depends in significant part upon the hiring, development and retention of key senior management personnel. Our anticipated future operations will place a significant strain on our management systems and resources. Our ability to implement successfully our business strategy requires an effective planning and management process. Competition for such personnel is intense, and the Company may not be able to attract and retain key personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of the Company's key employees or the Company's failure to attract additional qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company does not currently carry key man life insurance for any of its employees, but is subject to do so at the direction of its Board of Directors. Any cost of key man insurance would be borne by the Company.
 
Liability Claims
 
The Company may face costly liability claims by consumers. Any claim of  liability by a client, employee, consumer or other entity against us, regardless of merit, could be costly financially and could divert the attention of our management. It could also create negative publicity, which would harm our business. Although we maintain liability insurance, it may not be sufficient to cover a claim if one is made.
 
 
Risks of Low Priced Stocks
 
Although the Company is currently a public company, its trading is limited to the Pink Sheets.  A trading market for the Company's Common Stock could develop further, but there can be no assurance that it will do so. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or “Commission”) has adopted regulations which define a “penny stock” to be any equity security, such as those being offered by the Company herein, that has a market price (as therein defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock by a retail customer, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange commission relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about commissions payable to both the broker/dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Accordingly, market makers may be less inclined to participate in marketing the Company’s securities which may have an adverse impact upon the liquidity of the Company’s securities.
 
No Assurance of Payment of Dividends
 
Should the operations of the Company become profitable it is likely that the Company would retain much or all of its earnings in order to finance future growth and expansion. Therefore, the Company does not presently intend to pay dividends, and it is not likely that any dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
 
Potential Future Capital Needs
 
The Company may not be successful in generating sufficient cash from operations or in raising capital in sufficient amounts on acceptable terms. The failure to generate sufficient cash flows or to raise sufficient funds may require the Company to delay or abandon some or all of its development and expansion plans or otherwise forego market opportunities and may make it difficult for the Company to respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition. There can be no assurance that the proceeds in this Offering will be sufficient to permit the Company to implement its proposed business plan or that any assumptions relating to the implementation of such plan will prove to be accurate. The Company has executed a term sheet summarizing certain terms and conditions it anticipates to be included in a real estate purchase credit facility with a financial source, but has not yet executed the actual agreement at the time as of the date of this offering.  To the extent that the proceeds of this Offering are not sufficient to enable the Company to generate meaningful revenues or achieve profitable operations, the inability to obtain additional financing will have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Forward-Looking Information
 
The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of the Form 10-K contain forward-looking information. The forward-looking information involves risks and uncertainties that are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about the Company's business, management's beliefs and assumptions made by management. Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking information. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking information due to numerous factors, including, but not limited to, availability of financing for operations, successful performance of internal operations, impact of competition and other risks detailed below as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB and from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports. In addition, general economic and market conditions and growth rates could affect such statements.
 
 
General
 
Discussion Regarding the Company’s First Acquired Operating Entity
 
With the acquisition of the Augusta Auto Auction on July 10, 2007, the Company commenced operations, ceased being a shell company, and conducted its first weekly auction on July 11th under Acacia’s management.  The Company’s only operations in 2007 were those operations.
 
In looking to the future after acquiring the auction, the Company made substantial investments and changes during Q4 2007 that initially had a far greater negative impact on its immediate operations and profitability than originally anticipated.  Those changes included a number of efforts that bore significant costs in terms of cash outlays and operating hardships, including but not limited to:
 
1.  Improvements to Physical Plant.  A significant effort was made to remodel, beautify and increase security at the existing auction facility in North Augusta.  The aging facility, while rented, was in serious need of improvement.  The Company installed new signage and painted most work areas including ceiling tiles, walls, auction lanes, and trim. It also remodeled the restaurant area, had all equipment professionally cleaned, and installed many new furnishings.  The administrative offices and lobby were redesigned and new countertops were installed in affording a cleaner and more efficient look and functionality.  Restroom areas were enlarged and added as needed.  Desks and chairs were added as new and replacement equipment, and a substantial amount of equipment and supplies were added.  The Company installed a new electrified security fence around the entire perimeter and installed security systems in both buildings and the auction arena, all of which is professionally monitored.
 
2.  Upgrades to Technology Equipment and Operating Software.  The Company installed a new HP Proliant Server where there had been none before.  Additionally, it added a number of new Lenovo desktop and laptop computers, all new HP laser printers, Troy MICR printers, portable tablets and printers for lot operations, full-coverage LAN wireless systems providing ample signal strength to the entire facility, and installed many new CAT5 cable runs to accommodate additional workstations.  The Company installed computers and printers in the auction lanes accommodating the “paperless block” concept for the first time at that location, and will add applications to capture audio and video from the actual auction proceedings.  New Microsoft Server software was installed to enable the new network, and other software has been or will be installed enabling MS Exchange, security software, and various other applications. In addition, the Company purchased licenses to greatly empowered financial software that will support its growth well into the future, and has created a new and greatly-expanded financial reporting environment that is scheduled for implementation in Q2 of 2008.
 
3.  Upgrades to Technology Software – Auction Operating System.  The auction had been operating on a common software platform that is in wide use throughout the United States with independent auctions, but did not provide many of the expanded capabilities desired by management. Shortly after acquiring Augusta Auto Auction, the company entered into an agreement to purchase an auction software operating system that is expected to set a new standard for independent auctions in the industry, but which was not yet refined to meet the needs of the whole car auction business.  In assuming a role akin to “partnering” with a software developer/provider to assist in developing the new software for the needs of the Company and the industry, the Company will enjoy certain continuing and long-term benefits associated with its investment.  While the Company fully anticipated some hardships associated with the new installation, it initially suffered more substantial difficulties with implementation of the programs than expected as the program was being altered to fit our industry and our auction’s specific needs.  The substantial changes required to make the software compatible with the Company’s needs was underestimated, making the launch premature. This situation caused operating setbacks, additional stress on the auction’s small workforce of employees, and a measurable degree of customer dissatisfaction, all of which resulted in decreased customer participation, particularly as measured in vehicle unit entries and sales and revenues for the auction during December of 2007 and Q1 of 2008.  Since that time, the Company and its software supplier have successfully worked together to overcome a significant number of the initial issues and have streamlined a joint program to plan, oversee, track, and smoothly implement future modifications and additions to the auction operating systems.
 
 
As a result of our close coordination with and confidence in this software vendor, we believe that the software and operating system objectives we sought will be achieved, including, but not limited to  (a) providing an operating environment in which the Company can monitor and/or combine the operating results of any or all its auctions and other operations in real time as it grows through planned acquisitions; (b) exporting all financial and operating data relative to any one or more of its entities directly to our new financial reporting software, thus greatly reducing the labor requirement, time to reporting delays, and associated costs in the accounting area even as the Company is given faster and broader access to its information and operating statistics; (c) providing state-of-the-art access through web-based servers utilizing Oracle database technologies and housed in high-security environments at diverse geographical locations throughout the United States for both data security and redundancy in the event of catastrophe.  This feature also eliminates the need for individual local auction-specific servers to support operations at each auction and is expected to reduce labor costs associated with data entry.  An added benefit of a web-based system is that the Company’s management can now directly access any auction or combination of auctions at any time from any location, even from portable devices such as laptop computers. It will also (d) provide a complete portal allowing the Company’s auctions to engage in Internet selling through both static and simulcast sales, giving it the additional exposure required to take its place in the current sales technology environment; and (e) increase the ability of the Company’s auctions to better compete in the salvage auction industry as a result of having the current high level of technology demanded by larger salvage industry sellers and which has not been previously available to the Company.
 
In a recent announcement, the Company’s two active software vendors supplying its auction operating systems (the original system which the auction continues to maintain and the new system which is in current use and undergoing continuing development) made public their intention to merge.  This is a very positive development for the Company, since it will allow for smoother integration of its old data to the new system, will provide additional markets for Internet-based selling efforts through the combined resources of the two vendors’ operations, and will provide the vendors with substantially greater presence in the marketplace than either previously enjoyed.
 
Operating Results of the Auction
 
As a direct and proximate result of the foregoing negative effects associated with the changes and improvements, together with changes in personnel and management, adversities encountered with the Company’s first advance into the industry as a holding company, and difficulties encountered with implementing its new technology systems, the Auction incurred a loss of $184,527 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, having actually only owned and operated the auction for six months of that period   Of that loss, $95,916 represented non-cash expenses for amortization and depreciation  and more than $25,000 represented non-recurring cash expenses associated with the improvements described above.
 
We believe that we incurred a total of approximately $142,171in expenses associated with the remodeling, upgrade, and improvement of the facilities, software, and equipment, of which approximately $117,171 was capitalized.
 
The following table sets forth certain information about the Augusta Auto Auction regarding units entered, that is, the number of units brought to the auto auction for sale, the units actually sold, and the conversion rate, that is, the number of units actually sold as a percentage of the number of units brought to the auction for sale, as well as changes in the Buy/Sell Fee Revenues comparing the previous year’s results to 2007:
 
     
Q3
     
Q4
   
Six Months
 
Units Entered vs. 2006
    +36.75 %     +55.86 %     +45.52 %
Units Sold vs. 2006
    +26.69 %     +15.65 %     +21.00 %
Conversion Rate 2007
    55.25 %     55.53 %     55.39 %
Conversion Rate 2006
    59.64 %     74.83 %     66.61 %
Change in Buy/Sell Fee Revenues
    +21.89 %     +22.42 %     +22.16 %
 
On several occasions during Q3 and early Q4, the auction set several records for the highest numbers of entries and sales in more than five years and reflects a market that had not been previously developed, eventually leading us to greater market penetration in Augusta.  The conversion rate, however, declined from year to year, consistent with a national trend believed by management to be related to a slowing economy in the United States. We do believe that the current economic environment could inhibit our present growth based upon (i) the negative influences of higher consumer automotive interest rates, tighter credit, and higher gasoline prices on the automotive industry, (ii) the unwillingness of consumers to spend as freely on major purchases in an uncertain economy, and (iii) the other wide-ranging negative impacts of a troubled general economy. In addition, it is not uncommon for conversion rates to decline as volumes increase.  The number of units entered in those quarters of 2007 was up nearly 46%, potentially contributing to a reduction in the sale percentage.
 
 
Based on the results of the National Auto Auction Association (NAAA) 2007 Auction Industry Survey, Augusta Auto Auction during Q3 and Q4 of 2007 achieved a conversion rate of more than 5% above the national average, at 54.4% for dealer consignment vehicles, and achieved a conversion rate 17% lower than the national average for fleet/lease/repossessed units, at 57.8%.  Full year results at our auction reflected conversion rates of 60.1% and 68.6% respectively.  While our 2007 conversion rate continued to be satisfactory to management, particularly in the dealer consignment segment that accounted for most units sold, we believe that any decline in Augusta during Q4 2007 and Q1 2008 is directly related to certain events that resulted in a loss of efficiencies and market share during the period.
 
Preliminary 2008 Operating Results
 
Preliminary results of sales operations in Q1 of 2008 indicate a small increase in the number of vehicles entered and moderate decreases in the number of units sold as reflected by a lower conversion rate than in the same period of 2007.  As previously indicated, the Company anticipated this as a result of generally-weakening economic conditions, reduced productivity at automotive manufacturers, tightening credit and higher consumer interest rates, and other negative pressures affecting trade in general. In addition, the Company continued to face operating hardships associated with the initial installation and personalization of the new operating software instituted in December.  As program development has accelerated through Q1, those pressures have eased and the projects have become much more manageable, streamlined and friendly to our operations.  As such, the Company is now redirecting its efforts to capturing lost market share, and anticipates it can regain much of the momentum it lost at year’s end. The table below is reflective of the Company’s performance in Q1 2008 versus the same period in 2007.
 
   
 
Q1
 
Units Entered vs. 2007
    +6.47 %
Units Sold vs. 2007
    -17.59 %
Conversion Rate 2008
    54.94 %
Conversion Rate 2007
    71.39 %
Change in Buy/Sell Fee Revenues
    -17.50 %

Discussion Regarding the Parent Company’s Operating Results
 
The auction’s loss accounted for only a small part of the consolidated full-year loss to the parent company of $3,850,881, of which $3,194,903 represented non-cash expenses in connection with the issuance of Common stock as grants or options for employee or outside director compensation, for warrants, for conversion of all the Company’s outstanding Preferred shares to Common shares, and $5,354 incurred as additional depreciation and amortization by the parent company. The parent Company’s actual cash operating expenses represented approximately $471,451 or approximately 12.24% of the Company’s overall loss, reflecting an economy in operating the holding company at a time when revenues have not yet risen to the level of self-sufficiency.  The Company anticipates meeting that level upon closing of the next acquisition, which is currently under a signed Letter of Intent, and continuing to be self-sufficient thereafter.  No Preferred stock of the Company remains issued or outstanding.
 
Of the total $4,277,251 in operating expenses incurred, $2,053,782 represented employee compensation, the vast majority of which was non-cash stock or option compensation issued to certain officers of the Company, its outside directors, or contractors under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan.  The Company’s Chairman and CEO did not receive any options or other non-cash compensation during the year. Further, the Company incurred certain significant non-recurring expenses at the Augusta Auto Auction operation as described hereinbefore. The auction also hired and trained additional employees in preparation for projected growth in 2008, and paid a severance to one departed manager during the reporting period.
 
The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience fluctuations in its quarterly results of operations due to a number of factors as those indicated above and others, many of which are beyond the Company's control and which are common to the auto auction industry. Generally, the volume of vehicles sold at the Company's auctions is highest in the first and second calendar quarters of each year and slightly lower in the third quarter. Fourth quarter volume of vehicles sold is generally lower than all other quarters. This seasonality is affected by several factors including weather, the timing of used vehicles available for sale from selling customers, holidays, and the seasonality of the retail market for used vehicles, which affect the demand side of the auction industry. Used vehicle auction volumes tend to decline during prolonged periods of winter weather conditions. Among the other factors that have in the past and/or could in the future affect the Company's operating results are: general business conditions; trends in new and used vehicle sales and incentives, including wholesale used vehicle pricing; economic conditions including fuel prices and interest rate fluctuations; trends in the vehicle remarketing industry; the introduction of new competitors; competitive pricing pressures; and costs associated with the acquisition of businesses or technologies. As a result of the above factors, operations are subject to significant variability and uncertainty from quarter to quarter, and revenues and operating expenses related to volume will fluctuate accordingly on a quarterly basis.
 
The Company's earnings therefore are generally expected to be highest in the first or second calendar quarter, while the fourth calendar quarter typically will provide the lowest earnings as a result of the lower auction volumes and additional costs associated with the holidays and winter weather.
 

2007 Auction Industry Statistics

The recent 2007 Auction Industry Survey¹ of the National Auto Auction Association (NAAA) projects the gross value of units sold in 2007 at $88.8 billion, up from $86.9 billion a year earlier.  This saw the total number of units entered and sold at auction in 2007 at 15,993,000 and 9,536,000, respectively, indicating a decrease in entries, but a slight increase in units sold from the 2006 levels of 16,292,000 and 9,506,000, reflecting an improvement in the rate of conversion of sales to 60% from 58%.

The NAAA also recently released relevant information including the following tables and statistics through February 2008:²

2007 Wholesale Automotive Markets – Industry Performance³

Average wholesale used vehicle prices were up 1.2% in 2007.  After being a major factor determining wholesale prices in 2006, the role of high fuel prices diminished in 2007 and the role of supply (or lack thereof) increased.  The key driver to wholesale prices in 2007 was the shortage of off-rental program units.  This generally supported prices despite soft retail demand.  After benefiting for much of the year from the off-rental supply shortages, fleet/lease and dealer consignment prices began to decline in late 2007.    While other segments experienced price declines, significant price gains were registered in December for mid-size cars sold by manufacturers (at wholesale auctions).  These are popular rental units which were in particularly short supply.  Commercial fleet sales were up modestly.  Dealer consignment volumes were volatile and fell sharply in December.  Industry dealer consignment volumes were down 3.2% for the year, while fleet/lease volumes fell by 24.3%.  Declining volumes are expected to reverse in 2008 as prices continue to soften in the first half of the year.
 
 
Auction conversion (sell-through) rates fell significantly in he fourth quarter of 2007, an indication of market softness, with dealer consignment conversion rates falling 6.9% and fleet/lease conversion rates off 4.7%.
 
Vehicles in operation in North America continued to increase in 2006, although used vehicle sales experienced a decline in 2006. North America vehicles in operation increased approximately 2 percent in 2006 to 263 million vehicles. Used vehicle sales decreased approximately 3 percent to 45 million vehicles in 2006. The number of vehicles auctioned has been relatively flat over the last five years. Approximately 9.4 million vehicles were auctioned in 2001 compared with approximately 9.5 million in 2006. The decline in retail used vehicle sales in 2006 impacted demand and used vehicle auction volumes.

The Company is currently engaged in its plan of seeking to grow through acquisitions as well as through organic means.  To succeed in doing so, the Company will require additional capital, anticipated to be through sale of Common Stock.
 
The Company’s liquidity in 2007 was provided through the closing of a private placement of $1,025,000 of common stock in the second quarter of 2007. Presently, the Company’s liquidity is supplemented by a $300,000 line of credit with Wachovia Bank, N.A.  Although the Company presently has a certificate of deposit with the same bank of just over $155,000, this line of credit is used to cover some instances in which payments to dealers selling vehicles through the auction exceeds collected payments for those vehicles.  The Company anticipates increasing the size of the available line as its sales volume grows.  The bank charges an interest rate on the line of credit equal to prime plus 1.5% on the outstanding daily balance, if any.  The line of credit is secured by all of the Company’s deposits at the bank.
 
Also, the Company will ultimately be forced to seek a larger operating facility for its auction operations in the greater Augusta area, since the auction can not accommodate the anticipated growth at its present location. The Company has plans to utilize the current facility for other auction-related activities after relocating the mainstream auction business to a new location.
 
Financing of Planned Expansions and Other Expenditures
 
To assist with providing strategic guidance and direction in the areas of financing, mergers, acquisitions and more, the Company has retained the services of Investment Banker 4G Group, LLC, of Dallas, Texas.  Mr. Christopher A.F. Griffin, 4G’s CEO, works directly with Acacia Automotive’s management in providing these services under the blanket of its investment banking company.  On July 19, 2007, 4G Group acquired Security Research Corporation, a 23 year-old New York-based NASD Member broker-dealer firm that was formed in 1984.  The Company feels that 4G Group and its employees have the experience and wherewithal to guide it through implementation of its strategies.
 
The Company has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire a profitable automobile auction in the southeastern United States, but for reasons of confidentiality cannot disclose the nature or location of that entity until funding is in place and a final agreement is effected and closed.  That acquisition is anticipated to meet all the Company’s current consolidated operating expenses and result in an ongoing profit from the inception. For that reason, the Company considers this acquisition to be critical to its future success.
 
 
Simultaneously with the closing of this planned acquisition, the Company also anticipates making its entry into the wholesale vehicle inventory floor plan financing segment of the industry by providing floor plan and “float” financing to its automobile dealer clients.  Floor plan financing refers to medium-length wholesale financing terms, usually to a maximum of 90 to 120 days. “Float” financing refers to shorter-term wholesale vehicle financing-usually to a maximum of 30 to 60 days, often related to promotional sales activities.
 
The Company anticipates using the launch of those local financing activities as a springboard to providing financing services to its clients on a regional and ultimately a national basis.  The Company plans to establish a stand-alone subsidiary to accommodate that business model, and to institute those services in its present and future auction operations and potentially to certain other selected well-qualified clients.  The Company anticipates raising capital to accommodate the funding needs for these operations through a combination of the sale of Common stock and the establishment of credit facilities with banks or other lenders.
 
Financial Reporting and New Technologies
 
As part of its commitment to improve technologies that will improve our operating and reporting efficiencies, we have engaged a part time senior accounting professional, a certified public accountant, experienced in auto auction management. We plan to eventually hire this individual on a full time basis where we anticipate the completion of a new financial reporting system that integrates tightly with our new software with automatic population of operating data that affects financial reporting.

Item 9A(T).  Controls and Procedures
 
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls Over Financial Reporting
 
As is typical with most smaller enterprises, our control processes are oriented toward operations, and production of financial statements reflect an outgrowth of operations and results of those operations. Internally, financial statements are a management tool to evaluate the operations and not an end of those operations. We closely monitor the daily results of our cash position and make certain that our cash position is adequate for the foreseeable future. Our financial statements are generated as part of the reporting on our operations, one metric of our operations, and as part of our obligations as a public entity.
 
The goals of our present extensive effort to upgrade the quality of our software are as follows (a) providing an operating environment in which the Company can monitor and/or combine the operating results of any or all its auctions and other operations as it grows through planned acquisitions, (b) exporting all financial and operating data relative to any one or more of its entities directly to our new financial software, thus greatly reducing the labor requirement and associated costs in the accounting area, (c) providing state-of-the-art access through web-based servers housed in diverse geographical locations throughout the United States for both data security and redundancy in the event of catastrophe, and also eliminating local auction software servers in the process, (d) providing the security of having its data stored and mirrored at two diverse locations that will provide protection from loss in the event of any catastrophe at either, (e) providing a complete portal allowing the Company’s auctions to engage in Internet selling through both static and simulcast sales, and give it the additional exposure required to take its place in the current sales technology environment, (f) increasing the ability of the Company’s auctions to compete in the salvage auction industry as a result of having the current technology expected by salvage industry sellers, and which has not been previously available to us, and (g) promoting increased security because the main servers are located off-site in high-security environments in diverse cities and different states.
 
 
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer who acts as our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and fraud, and our present efforts are oriented on improving the availability and thoroughness of information to management and its efficient reduction to generate financial statements.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management’s override of the control.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports, such as this report on Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, particularly our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding operations and required disclosure.
 
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of December 31, 2007.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, particularly our chief executive officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
Based on our evaluation, management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007. Nonetheless, our registered public accounting firm has notified us of certain matters that they deem material weaknesses, which are discussed below.
 
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 Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
In the course of conducting our audit for the fiscal year 2007, our auditor, Killman, Murrell & Company, P.C. identified to us material weaknesses involving internal control, although it did not identify to us any report that necessitated restatement. These material weaknesses related to our accounting personnel, accounting for cash, documentation with respect to options and warrants as well as the issuance of common stock.
 
We believe that two factors most affect these reported material weaknesses, namely, the lack of accounting personnel and the lack of integration of software that manages our operations and our accounting software. Our lack of senior accounting personnel affected the adequacy our general systems and practices. While the failure of the processes and systems affected our documentation of options and warrants as well as one issuance of common stock, all matters of which have been rectified, its most critical manifestation was in the software integration referred to above. We have identified and largely rectified matters regarding the issuance and reporting of checks, although we are yet making certain that our actions will be adequate in that area. Further, we are working with our software vendor to rectify errors in accounting entries, particularly as they relate to problems caused by having to enter several transactions into two systems by making certain that entries into one system automatically populate the other, all elaborated upon above.
 
All of these issues, we believe, relate most to the lack of accounting personnel, particularly senior accounting personnel. In that regard, we have identified a certified public accountant who is helping us on a part time basis and who has extensive experience in automobile auctions, both in accounting and finance. We plan to hire this individual full time upon funding of our acquisition discussed above.

Change of Control
 
On August 15, 2006, Steven L. Sample acquired for $50,000, 4,000,000 shares, or 46.7%, of the 8,561,000 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the registrant from TAM and its associates.  In addition Mr. Sample paid expenses totaling $138,862, such expenses including the costs associated with completing the bankruptcy proceedings and costs such as arranging for the Company’s SEC filings to be brought current, after which the registrant agreed to effect a one for eight reverse stock split, to issue to Mr. Sample an additional 8,117,500 shares of Common Stock and 500,000 shares of preferred stock.  For the assistance of Harry K. Myers, Jr., a principal of Baker #1, Ltd., the entity owning Thacker Asset Management, LLC, the registrant agreed to issue to him 25,000 shares of preferred stock and 450,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
 
To fulfill its obligations under this agreement, the registrant’s board of directors recommended that its stockholders amend its corporate charter to effect a one for eight reverse stock split, to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 150,000,000 and to create and establish a series of preferred stock.  The distinguishing feature of the Preferred stock was that each share had 50 votes, but if Mr. Sample or the other recipient transfers the shares to any other entity other than for estate planning purposes, the shares automatically converted on a share for share basis to Common Stock and, in any event, automatically convert to Common Stock upon the death of either recipient.
 
On May 29, 2007, and June 19, 2007, the Corporation’s board of directors issued Common stock and warrants to purchase Common stock in exchange for conversion of all issued and outstanding Preferred shares of the Company.  In exchange for conversion of all the issued and outstanding 525,000 Preferred shares of the Company, the board of directors approved issuance of 525,000 shares of Common stock, of which 95% were issued to Steven L. Sample, its CEO, and 5% were issued to Harry K. Myers, Jr., an affiliate of the Company prior to the acquisition of the majority of the Company's Stock by Steven L. Sample, In addition, the Company issued 1,500,000 warrants, of which 95% were issued to Mr. Sample, and 5% were issued to Mr. Myers, with various exercise prices and certain stipulations attendant to their exercise.  500,000 of those warrants are exercisable immediately with an exercise price of $1.00 with no stipulations. The difference between the $1.00 exercise price and the $2.00 selling price of the common stock at the time of the award was recognized as a beneficial conversion expense to the Company of $500,000 at June 30, 2007. The remaining 1,000,000 warrants are exercisable in the same relative percentages during the vesting periods shown and at the prices indicated in the following table:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors
Acacia Automotive, Inc. and Subsidiary
Brentwood, Tennessee

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Acacia Automotive, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended.  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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Acacia Automotive, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and its limited capital resources raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.   Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 12.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY

Acacia Automotive, Inc. (“Acacia” or the “Company”) is engaged in acquiring and operating automotive auctions, including automobile, truck, equipment, boat, motor home, RV, and other related vehicles.  Following is a history of the Company.

Gibbs Construction, Inc. (“Gibbs”) was a full service, national commercial construction company located in Garland, Texas.  During 1999, Gibbs experienced significant losses associated with certain construction projects, which were bonded by Gibbs’ primary bonding surety.  In the fourth quarter of 1999, Gibbs’ bonding surety notified Gibbs that it would no longer provide completion and payment bonds for Gibbs’ construction projects.  Given these events, Gibbs began a series of negotiations with its bonding surety in December of 1999, which resulted in a written agreement in January of 2000, whereby the bonding surety would provide funds to finish certain projects and required Gibbs to terminate construction on other projects.  These events led to Gibbs inability to satisfy its debts in the ordinary course of business and on April 20, 2000, Gibbs filed a Petition pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

On July 28, 2000, Gibbs received permission from its Court of Jurisdiction to solicit approval of its Plan of Reorganization.  Gibbs continued to operate on a limited basis pending approval of its Plan of Reorganization.  On November 10, 2000, Gibbs completed its Plan of Reorganization pursuant to an order of the court as follows:

a)  
Gibbs transferred all of its assets and liabilities to the Gibbs Construction, Inc. Creditor Trust (“Trust”).

b)  
Gibbs issued 501,000 shares of its authorized but previously unissued common stock to the Trust in settlement of unsecured creditor claims.

c)  
Gibbs approved issuance of 1,000,000 shares of a newly created preferred stock, with an aggregate liquidation preference value of $200,000 and a six percent (6%) non-cumulative dividend, to the bonding surety.

d)  
Gibbs issued 4,000,000 shares of its authorized but previously unissued common stock to Thacker Asset Management, LLC (TAM), a Texas limited liability company, in exchange for certain operating assets and the obligation to complete certain construction projects of TAM.

Gibbs did not obtain a court ordered final decree from the bankruptcy court due to the difficulties encountered with the implementation of the reorganization plan.  All operating activities ceased in 2002.  On June 26, 2006, the bankruptcy trustee requested and received an Order for Final Decree.  The 501,000 shares of common stock issued to the Trust were abandoned and returned to the Company on October 5, 2006.  These shares have been cancelled.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
 
 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The Company has elected to prepare its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (United States) with December 31, as its year end.  The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.

CONSOLIDATION - The Company owns 100% of the voting stock of Acacia Augusta Vehicle Auction, Inc.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Acacia Augusta Vehicle Auction, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES - Preparing the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations.  Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives which are generally three to fifteen years.  Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 totaled $13,707 and $2,869, respectively.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions, which at times, exceed federally insured amounts. The Company has not experienced any material losses in such accounts.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

RECLASSIFICATIONS – Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts, so that the prior year’s presentation is comparative with the current year’s presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

INCOME TAXES - The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets or the expected future tax consequences of events and transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company currently has substantial net operating loss carryforwards.  The Company has recorded a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets.

ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $17,739 and $4,668, respectively.

CONTINGENCIES - Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.  The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.  In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is possible that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements.  If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION - As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS 14B, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transaction and Disclosure”, which established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued stock awards to employees in the amount of $1,020,000. For the year ended December 31, 2006, no stock awards were issued to employees.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS - The Company has issued common stock purchase warrants as payments to individuals for providing services or financial resources to the Company.  The Company’s management selected the Black-Scholes valuation method to calculate the fair value of the common stock purchase warrants.

NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock
 
In 2000, the bankruptcy court authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of no par value preferred stock to the Company’s bonding surety. These preferred shares have a liquidation preference value of $0.20 per share and have a six percent (6%) non-cumulative dividend rate.  On October 27, 2006, the bonding surety agreed to exchange the 1,000,000 shares of no par value preferred stock for 100,000 shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock.

In July 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a 2,000,000 share series of preferred stock and the Board of Directors were authorized to fix:

·  
The number of share constituting each series of preferred stock
·  
Voting rights, powers, preferences, and conversion rights

At December 31, 2006, 525,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding.  In the second quarter of 2007 the 525,000 outstanding shares of $0.001 par value Series A Preferred Stock were converted to 525,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The Company issued 500,000 warrants to an officer and a related party exercisable immediately with an exercise price of $1.00.  The difference between the exercise price and the $2.00 current selling price of the common stock was recognized as a beneficial conversion expense of $500,000.

These same individuals were issued the following warrants:

Management intends to make every effort to identify and develop sources of funds.  There is no assurance that Management’s plans will be successful.
