ACACIA AUTOMOTIVE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
 
NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Acacia Automotive, Inc. (“Acacia” or the “Company”) is engaged in acquiring and operating automotive auctions, including automobile, truck, equipment, boat, motor home, RV, motorsports, and other related vehicles.
 
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.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation SX.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a full presentation have been included.  All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
 
Historically, the Company had issued warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in connection with certain of its debt and equity financings, in exchange for the conversion of certain preferred stock, and for certain non-compete agreements.  The Company records each of the securities issued on a relative fair value basis up to the amount of the proceeds received.  The Company estimates the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The Black-Scholes model is dependent on a number of variables and estimates including: interest rates, dividend yield, volatility and the expected term of the warrants.  The estimates are based on market interest rates at the date of issuance, our past history for declaring dividends, the Company’s estimated stock price volatility and the contractual term of the warrants.  The value ascribed to the warrants in connection with debt offerings is considered a cost of capital and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.
 
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. dba / Augusta Auto Auction, Inc.   All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
 
NOTE 2– OPERATING SOFTWARE SYSTEM
 
On June 30, 2008, the Company took a charge of $78,157 against 2008 operating results, representing the devaluation of certain accounts receivable determined to be uncollectible. This resulted, in substantial part, from the issues the Company encountered in utilizing a new operating software system during the first half of 2008. During that period, the Company experienced problems in deriving accurate operating information from that system and also suffered from inconsistencies in the system to automatically deduct charges from client transactions in real time. The operating software system was replaced in the third quarter of 2008. The Company will seek to effect recovery of a portion of these charges in coming periods.
 
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
 
The Company neither has sufficient cash on hand nor is it generating sufficient revenues to cover its operating overhead.  These facts raise doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company has been operating over the past year based on the proceeds from the sale of Common stock in private offerings, loans from its officers/directors, and revenues from its auction operating unit.  There is no guarantee that such officers/directors will continue to provide operating funds for the Company.  In order to pursue its goals and commitments, the Company will be required to obtain significant funding to meet its projected minimum expenditure requirements.  Management’s plans include raising funds from the public through a private placement stock offering or securing debt financing, acquiring additional auto auction operations that will provide profitability and liquidity, and attempting to increase the revenues from its current auction operations.  Management intends to make every effort to identify and develop sources of funds, but there is no assurance that Management’s plans will be successful.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Forward-Looking Information
 
The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of the Form 10-Q 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-Q 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
 
With the acquisition of the Augusta Auto Auction on July 10, 2007, we commenced operations, ceased being a shell company, and conducted our first weekly auction on July 11, 2007. Our only operations in 2007 were those operations, and those operations remain our only operations.
 
During the third and fourth quarter of 2007, we made substantial improvements to the physical plant at our auction and attempted to upgrade our technology by licensing new software, the SNaps operating system, and purchased related computer hardware.
 
We believe that the automobile auction business is seasonal with the first and second quarters of the calendar year being the strongest but declining somewhat in the third and fourth calendar quarters. However, at our auction, we did not see that pattern in 2007. The number of units we sold in the last two quarters of 2007 was 7.3% more than the number of units we sold in the first two quarters of 2008; however, the number of units sold in Q2 of 2008 was 1.1% greater than the number sold in Q4 2007 and 14.9% greater than the number sold in Q1 2008.
 
We believe the initial increase in the last two quarters of 2007 showed a favorable response to our ownership of the auction. But the Vemark SNaps® software we installed proved unsatisfactory for many reasons. A major concern was the control issues, discussed herein under Item 4T - Controls and Procedures. But the software also caused major operational dislocations such as not providing customers timely accounting of transactions and not being able to process automatically title information on vehicles sold. We believe that such failures caused much of the decreased sales that occurred from the last six months of 2007 to the first six months of 2008. In July 2008, we terminated our relationship with the SNaps vendor and implemented other software solutions that we believe are now providing sufficient operational support and better control of our financial reporting. We anticipate the number of units sold by the Augusta Auto Auction in the latter half of 2008 to match approximately those sold in the latter half of 2007. In addition we have engaged our director, David Bynum, to assist in the management of the Augusta auction and believe that his efforts have improved the auctions operational efficiency and mitigated some of the concerns of clients that were initially dissatisfied with our operation as a result of the software difficulties we encountered.
 
Finally, we believe that vehicle auctions have historically shown that units sold do not generally decline substantially during a recession. We believe this is attributable to, among other facts, that the auto auction industry is more dependent upon the number of actual used vehicles in operation (VIO) in the U.S., rather than upon retail vehicle sales and manufacturing output.  The table below depicts fluctuations through September 2008, indicating that auction volumes remain nearly unchanged while used and new light vehicle retail volumes are down approximately 10% and 13% respectively in the same period.

Six months ended June 30
 
Our revenues for the six month period ended June 30 are not comparable to the same period in 2007 because we did not have operations until we acquired the Augusta Auto Auction in July 2007. Nonetheless our revenues for the first six months of 2008 were approximately 23.3% more than those in the last six months of 2007 even though the number of units sold in the 2008 period declined approximately 7.3%. This increase in revenue is mostly attributable to an increase in the average unit selling price and their attendant higher fees, as well as an increase in the actual fee structure, the level of our new fees being more consistent with auction fees in the surrounding area.
 
With respect to our Augusta operations, our employee compensation is averaging approximately $105,000 per quarter and other general and administrative expenses are averaging approximately $75,000 per quarter. Cost of sales, absent charges for uncollected receivables, are approximately $42,500 per quarter and depreciation and amortization is about $55,000 per quarter leaving an operating loss, assuming average revenues of about $250,000 per quarter, of about $22,000 per quarter but operating cash flow of about $33,000 per quarter. Nonetheless we did not achieve those operating results in our Augusta operation because we took a charge of approximately $78,000 mostly for uncollected receivables related to our discontinued software.
 
While our interest expenses at our Augusta operation is about $1900 per quarter, we incurred additional charges for loss on the sale of equipment relating to the removal of the Vemark SNaps® software in July 2008.
 
We incur expenses at the corporate level in addition to those incurred at our operations at the Augusta auction. Our compensation for executives as shown under Employee Compensation runs about $88,000 per quarter, and our option and warrant expense, which is amortized, has averaged in the six month period ended June 30, 2008, approximately $388,000 per quarter.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008 we incurred a loss of $1,150,540. Corporate G&A expenses accounted for approximately $290,000 in the first six months, and included legal and accounting fees of approximately $99,000, office rental costs of approximately $14,500, non-cash amortized warrant and option expenses of approximately $79,000, and other traditional expenses for travel, convention expenses, equipment lease/rental, postage and shipping, printing and office supplies, insurance, telephone, light heat power, etc.
 

 
Three months ended June 30, 2008
 
Again, our revenues for the three month period ended June 30 are not comparable to the same period in 2007 because we did not have operations until we acquired the Augusta Auto Auction in July 2007. Our revenues for the second quarter were $307,137, the largest of any quarter since our acquisition of the auction, although the number of units sold exceeded only those of the first quarter of 2008 and the fourth quarter of 2007, while not exceeding the third quarter of 2007, the increase in revenues also being attributable to increases in fees as discussed above.
 
While our cost of fees earned was $113,047, this included approximately $78,000 for uncollected receivables.  Our employee compensation was typical, approximately $100,000 for parent company compensation, approximately $265,000 for expensing of options and approximately $110,000 for employee compensation in our operating company.
 
With the addition of a $14,000 loss related to the discontinued Vemark SNaps® software, our net loss was $492,136 for the quarter.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our liquidity has been provided through private placements, one for $1,025,000 which closed in the second quarter of 2007 and another for $130,000 which closed in the Spring of 2008. These placements have been supplemented by a line of credit for $300,000 with Wachovia Bank, this line of credit supporting short term cash requirements at our Augusta operations.
 
We are striving to make our Augusta operations have positive cash flow and believe that that goal can be achieved. But these improvements would have to be substantial, although plausibly achievable, to support our existing overhead cost structure.
 
In addition, we desire to expand through acquisition of other automobile auctions and are seeking funding for that purpose. We believe that any modest addition of other auctions will enable us to operate on a positive cash flow basis.
 
We are, accordingly, seeking additional funding to expand our auctions.
 
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer who acts as our Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  During the 90-day period prior to the date of this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  Nonetheless, we have identified areas that we are addressing which we believe need to be rectified.
 
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.
 
All of these issues, we believe, relate most to the lack of experienced 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 accounting and auditing.
 
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
